Chapter 96 The Key
Seeing that Song Tianming was so excited, King Cheng said strangely: "What's wrong with Manager Song? Is there something wrong with this Hexi Corridor?"
Song Tianming had already stood up at this moment, paced back and forth, and muttered: "Hexi Corridor, Hexi Corridor..."
King Cheng saw something wrong with him, and quickly stopped him and asked, "If you have anything to do, you might as well say it."
Song Tianming stopped and said with a serious face: "Your Highness Cheng, I want to know what the Hexi Corridor looks like?"
Cheng Wang said: "The shopkeeper asked the right person. If he asked someone else, he might just know the name of the place. However, I and my father had visited the border once and were very impressed by it..."
Then, King Cheng explained the general situation of the Hexi Corridor.
The so-called Hexi Corridor refers to a large plain in the northwest of Dagan Liangzhou, the northwest of Dagan Liangzhou, the south of Lishan Mountain, and the west of Heishi Ridge.
The specific scope is limited by the technological level of big efforts, and it is not yet certain, but it can be inferred that the entire area will not be smaller than that of Yangzhou Prefecture and a very broad area.
After hearing King Cheng’s introduction, Song Tianming immediately became clear!
His excitement was beyond words, but King Cheng was confused.
"In other words, just cross the Hexi Corridor and you can reach the boundary of the Western Regions, right?"
King Cheng was not sure, so he could only nodded: "That's right, but to be more precise, the Hexi Corridor already belongs to the Western Regions, but..."
"Just what?"
"As we all know, the northwest is the world of barbarians. There are often barbarian horse bandits and even cavalrymen in the Hexi Corridor, specializing in attacking people coming and going, burning, killing, and looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
The countries in the Western Regions also sent people to negotiate with the barbarians and even fought some wars, but they all ended in failure, and the barbarians became more and more arrogant!
This is one of the reasons why a large army must accompany the delegation to the mission."
Song Tianming thought to himself: It’s true!
Logically speaking, with the Hexi Corridor channel to the Western Regions, Dakan should have been in trade with the Western Regions long ago!
But obviously, the situation is not optimistic!
Not to mention driving away the barbarians, it is already good not to be bullied by someone riding his face.
Now that I even send an envoy, how can I take down the Hexi Corridor?
But Song Tianming realized that this was actually an opportunity to change one's fate for a big fight.
You should know that among the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, Dakan's current national strength is the weakest.
The Great Qin is brave and the Great Kun is rich, but he is the only one who is doing his own internal and external troubles now, and he has nothing to do.
Once a head-on conflict breaks out, there is probably no room for fighting back.
The reason why we can survive until now is mainly because of the hidden dangers of the northern barbarians. The two countries are also restraining each other.
With the big knights in the north facing the impact of the barbarians, Daqin and Dakun can develop in the south with peace of mind without worrying about war.
Anyway, Dakan has no spare energy to attack them now. When their national strength is abundant and they can resist the barbarian invasion alone, the first thing they do is to divide up Dakan!
Only by finding some way out from the outside world and making the big fight become prosperous and strong as soon as possible can this situation of death be broken.
If he had been in the past, he wouldn't have thought so much.
I am just a commoner. For ordinary people, as long as they can eat and wear well, it doesn’t matter who becomes the emperor.
But after so many things, he realized that it was impossible to be alone.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
It’s not that someone needs him to take more responsibilities, but that if he wants to exert his abilities, he must bear the corresponding price and face the corresponding problems!
Everything he gets now depends on big work.
Once the great battle perishes, his efforts will be wasted.
If Da Kun or Da Qin were in the world, as a nobleman of the previous dynasty, the fate would inevitably be much more miserable!
This is what it means to eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king.
Of course, he can also choose to be a second-five boy.
But he wouldn't do that unless he had no choice.
Moreover, this matter was a god-given opportunity for him. If he could seize it, his business would be better!
Seeing that he was motionless, King Cheng seemed to be thinking about something, and did not disturb him, and just sat quietly and waited.
After thinking about it, Song Tianming sat down again: "His Royal Highness Cheng, as a baron, should have the power to talk about state affairs, right?"
“That’s natural.”
"I'll say that this Hexi Corridor is the key to changing the fortune of Dagan!"
"Oh?" Cheng Wang raised his eyebrows and felt a little unbelievable.
But after hearing Song Tianming's entire thoughts, King Cheng was completely shocked!
This person is indeed extraordinary!
As early as in the palace, the father praised Song Tianming as the most talented man of the world and praised him for his praise!
At that time, I was a little disdainful and thought that this person had just written a few sour poems and made a few small objects, so how could he deserve such a big name?
After he told the emperor about his thoughts, the emperor simply replied: "Self-school."
This made King Cheng very dissatisfied.
So this time when the emperor chose someone to visit Xiahe County, King Cheng was the first to respond!
He wanted to see what kind of person Song Tianming was!
Now, he was completely convinced!
After Song Tianming finished speaking, it took King Cheng a long time to digest the whole thing.
"Is what sir said true?"
"There is no false statement below to guarantee the title!
If this matter can be accomplished, Your Highness Cheng Wang will be famous in history!”
"It's famous in history... Haha, as long as we can revive the great cause and make me infamous for thousands of years, it's worth it!"
Song Tianming smiled.
This Chengwang has a good personality and is a person who can date.
"But this matter is of great importance, and I will report it to my father and let him decide!"
"That's natural. I'm just asking for an idea. How to do it depends on Your Majesty's idea."
"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, I will definitely argue with the truth!"
“Not talking about it…”
Then, King Cheng took the initiative to give Song Tianming a cup of tea, which was much more enthusiastic than before.
Song Tianming also refused everyone and quickly drank all the wine in front of him.
"Wine is good, I just can't help but drink..."
Although Song Tianming drank a little too much, his mind was still clear: "Your Highness doesn't have to put a condom on me, I won't be able to serve this wine again!"
As he said that, he took out another jar of wine from under his feet!
Then he poured a glass himself and started drinking happily.
King Cheng didn't expect that he would have such an event, and he was amused and laughed: "Shopkeeper, are you not kind to drink?"
"What's wrong, I drink my own wine anyway!"
The Zuihua wine, which has been sold at a sky-high price in the capital, is like Baishui in Song Tianming's hands!
King Cheng could only look at him with a grievance on his face.
At this moment, another group of people came in outside the door.
Xiao Tang's greeting sounded again, but before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted: "I want to drink, give me wine!"
Song Tianming and the other two were also attracted by the voice. King Cheng narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Are people who drink nowadays so arrogant?"
"Your Highness, you are about the same in the morning."
Song Tianming said with a smile, and King Cheng suddenly turned red: "It's all a misunderstanding."
At this time, the sound outside became louder and louder, until Xiao Tang screamed!
Only then did Song Tianming realize that something seemed to be wrong, so he quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks and ran out.
Seeing this, King Cheng also called Pang Jun and others to follow him.
As soon as I arrived in front of the door, I saw a group of burly men dressed in strange clothes, standing at the door showing off their power.
One of them even carried Xiao Tang's neck and shook him like a toy regardless of his scream!
"Stop!" Song Tianming was shocked!
Some people dare to be so arrogant and domineering in the downtown area and hurt others?
"If you ask me to stop, what are you old?" The man laughed louder when he saw this.
"I am the shopkeeper of this restaurant. Let me put the person down!"
"Oh, you are the shopkeeper? OK, you want someone, you can grab it yourself!"
Seeing Song Tianming's weak look, the other party was even more arrogant and hooked his fingers at him!
"Damn it!" Song Tianming was about to rush forward, but was stopped by King Cheng!
"Shopkeeper, don't be impulsive! They are barbarians!"
