Sima Cang frowned slightly, and said coldly, "Loulan doesn't want to borrow troops, I won't force it!"
After finishing speaking, Sima Cang took Fan Kui with him and planned to leave.
Unable to make a choice, King Loulan finally called Sima Cang, with an extremely embarrassed look on his face.
"Wait for me for three days and prepare some soldiers for you!" King Loulan seemed to have made an extremely difficult decision.
Sima Cang nodded gratefully.
King Loulan entertained the two to live in Loulan.
Sima Cang and Fan Kui traveled around for a few days, replenishing food and grass in Loulan.
Sima Cang, full of food and drink, said to Fan Kuai, "You stay in Loulan, and I will go to the Qianghou tribe to borrow troops!"
Sima Cang speculated that the King of Loulan might not be able to borrow many soldiers, so he couldn't place too much hope on Loulan.
After all, King Loulan only agreed to borrow troops to perfunctory him because he cared about Da Qin.
Fan Kui naturally understood that the soldiers Loulan borrowed were not enough to destroy Dawan, so he nodded and said, "Come back soon."
Sima Cang nodded, and said in a deep voice, "When I return with borrowed soldiers, it will be time to wash Loulan with blood!"
The expressions of the two were extremely resolute. After all, the two of them had only one goal at this time, and that was to slaughter Dawan and avenge the Daqin caravan.
Sima Cang took the accompanying dry food and set foot on the road to the various tribes of the Western Qiang.
……
In Daqin.
The caravan from Bafu has returned from the Western Regions.
The caravan's goods are full of loads.
Hearing that the caravan from Bafu came back, Ba Qing waited for everyone from Bafu to meet the caravan.
The members of the Bafu caravan all had smiling faces on their faces.
"The goods brought back have been counted, and the value of the goods brought back is dozens of times higher than that of the goods brought when traveling!"
Ba Qing was surprised. He didn't expect that the wealth brought back by the Silk Road to the caravans would be so lucrative.
No wonder His Royal Highness said that the Silk Road will be a road to wealth.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave Bafu the first chance to eat crabs.
Ba Qing knows His Highness the Prince's kindness, and the Ba Mansion must repay it.
Thinking of this, Ba Qing ordered Ba Mansion to spread the news of the Silk Road in Xianyang.
Let more and more Daqin merchants collect money in the Western Regions through the Silk Road, and make money for Daqin.
The huge profits of the Bafu caravan made many merchants jealous, and the news spread quickly.
As for what happened in Dawan, Daqin has not yet learned about it.
After all, the Bafu caravan came back early and did not continue westward with the Daqin caravan.
Chapter 167 Loulan Proton
Countless businessmen wanted to go to the Silk Road and make profits through the Silk Road after hearing the huge profits brought by the trip to the Western Regions in Bafu.
Businessmen are unprofitable.
But wherever there is money to be made, they will drill there.
When Brother Zheng learned that the Bafu caravan had returned, he ordered to summon the Bafu caravan.
The reason for summoning the Bafu caravan was naturally to learn some information about the Western Regions from the Bafu caravan.
For that, Brother Zheng naturally had some ideas, to understand the Western Regions, and to prepare for an expedition to the Western Regions in the future.
At the same time, Wei Tuqi, the prince of King Loulan, as the hostage, arrived in Xianyang only a few days after the Bafu caravan arrived in Xianyang.
Wei Tuqi saw the busy market in Xianyang, and also saw many rare things in Xianyang.
Among them, I saw houses made of cement and red bricks, as well as paper as thin as brocade.
The more he saw, the more strange Wei Tuqi felt.
Why does Daqin have so many rare objects?
These are what Loulan does not have.
Seeing the novelty of Daqin, Wei Tuqi pestered the accompanying Daqin soldiers and asked to taste Daqin's delicacies in the wine shop.
The soldiers considered Wei Tuqi's status, but didn't understand the attitude of the superiors towards Loulan King's hostage, so they had to agree, and took Wei Tuqi to the wine shop to taste Daqin's delicacies.
There is a big difference between Wei Tuqi and Qin people in appearance.
For a while, Wei Tuqi from Loulan attracted the attention of many Qin people.
The gazes of many Qin people seemed to be looking at a rare animal.
When Wei Tuqi saw that the Daqin soldiers obeyed his orders, the look on his face was even more smug.
In the restaurant, there was a lot of commotion.
But when the waiter in the shop saw the armored Daqin soldiers beside Wei Tuqi, he didn't dare to neglect him for a while.
The waiter in the shop served a jug of good wine for Wei Tuqi.
It is the distilled liquor produced by Bafu, also called "Moutai".
This name has aroused the curiosity of many Qin people. Although the name Maotai sounds a bit novel to Qin people, as long as the wine tastes good, it will be fine.
Hearing that it was wine, Wei Tuqi ordered Xiao Er to fill it up for himself.
Although the waiter in the shop was dissatisfied with the barbarian who was gesticulating in front of him, but considering that the wine shop might not be able to provoke him, he had no choice but to pour wine for Wei Tuqi.
Wei Tuqi had never seen Daqin wine before, but just by smelling it, he could smell a strong aroma of wine.
Wei Tuqi thought in his heart that it must be the fine wine of Daqin.
However, after tasting it, Wei Tuqi felt the sharpness on the tip of his tongue, and it was hard to get used to it for a while.
For the people of Qin, spirits like Moutai are top-grade.
