Chapter 492: The Prairie Hero of Zhao Kuo’s Family

Of course, the emperor did not object to the mission. The emperor's heart was full of desire for conquest. He had always been like this, otherwise he would not have sent his most outstanding generals to various places to prepare and guard against his enemies. When he learned that Zhao Kuo was interested in opening the Western Regions, the emperor stood in front of the roughly drawn map and fell into deep thought. Li Si and Gan Luo stood behind him. The emperor looked at the huge map in front of him and did not speak for a long time.

"This map is what I have summoned the most outstanding talents from all over the world and completed it in three years. I can see clearly every county, township, road, and even pavilion in the Qin State... Ma Fujun is attacking the southwest. When the war is over, here!!" The emperor pointed to the southwest corner, and he said: "This place will also become a part of the territory!"

"Get up and take a look... I don't know what the land outside the Great Wall looks like, and everyone in the country doesn't know..." Li Si and Gan Luo stood up, stood behind the emperor, looking at the map in front of him. The map was very large, almost covered with walls, and it looked a bit scary. What's even more scary is that the land outside the Qin State was so vast.

"This is a map of the world completed by horse uniforms. Such a big world... but the Qin Dynasty didn't even get half of the country..." The emperor looked at the map and said solemnly. Li Si had seen this map a long time ago. He was responsible for the formulation of this map. Gan Luo, who was beside him, looked uneasy. He was trembling all over his body, and his eyes were flashing.

At this moment, Gan Luo was extremely excited and extremely happy.

Ganluo is a talent. When he was very young, he showed extraordinary courage and outstanding eloquence. Even Zhao Kang, the bully of Xianyang at that time, regarded him as his confidant think tank and listened to his advice. When Ganluo was very young, he knew in his heart that he was a genius. Children of the same age were not good enough in front of him. This made him feel a sense of superiority. He almost looked down on anyone, and he also wanted to show his abilities.

When Lu Buwei wanted to send Zhang Tang to Yan State, Zhang Tang refused. Lu Buwei realized that his opportunity had come, so he found Zhang Tang and successfully convinced him by tying the tiger's skin. Then, he went to Zhao State again. Facing the king of a country, he was not afraid at all, neither humble nor arrogant, and finally convinced Zhao State and successfully obtained a large city for Qin State, which made the name Gan Luo resound everywhere.

Everyone thinks that the child's future achievements are limitless, and Gan Luo himself thinks so. Gan Luo is very smart and learns everything quickly. However, he still likes eloquence very much. He enjoys the feeling of convinced others through words and changing the world through a mouth. This is true for the Zongheng Family. If Gan Luo was born a hundred years ago, he might have become a saint of the Zongheng Family and suppressed the world.

Unfortunately, Gan Luo was born a little late. He successfully convinced King Zhao to return to Xianyang and start his own study from then on. He needed to make himself more powerful and master more things. He studied wildly and read books from the Zongheng School. When he was full of confidence and decided to come out, he was surprised to find that the six kingdoms were gone. Yes, they were all destroyed by the Marquis of Wucheng, and only one Qi State was left, and the Prime Minister was still the last victory.

Gan Luo really couldn't sit still. He hoped that he could go on a mission to Qi State. He wanted to show his abilities again. His friends, Zhao Kang, had become Ma Fujun, suppressing the southwest. The young generation of generals could not see his back. Meng Tian and Wang Ben, and even Meng Yi, who were younger than him, had achieved something at this moment, and Gan Luo had never been able to take a step forward in the past few years.

Ganluo was really unwilling to give up, but when he went to Qi State, he did not sell Qi State as he thought. Housheng simply sold it, which made Ganluo lose his last chance. He lost his place of use in the Zongheng School, and he could only hide in his mansion, becoming more haggard and more wine-friendly. This state continued until Zhao Kuo called him and told him that he could go out of the border.

People outside the Great Wall were considered barbarians, and Qin did not think they could have any contact with them. It was not until the Han Dynasty that the Central Plains dynasty began to go on missions outside the Great Wall and began diplomatic activities in the true sense. Therefore, when Zhao Kuo told Gan Luo that he still had the opportunity to display his talents, Gan Luo felt that a brand new path seemed to have appeared in front of him. Until today, when the emperor showed them the land outside the Great Wall, Gan Luo almost burst into tears.

The era of the Zongheng family has not ended, and it will never end. There are so many countries. The Zongheng family can easily rewrite the fate of a country through their own words... There are so many countries waiting for the storm of the Zongheng family. Li Si suddenly realized that Gan Luo had become a little excited by his side, but he didn't say anything. The emperor turned around and looked at his two ministers calmly.

The emperor saw the flames in Ganluo's eyes, which made Ying Zheng laugh.

"Ganluo...I want to send you to Yuezhi to let them make way for Qin. After that, you will also go to the Western Regions on my behalf...and persuade the countries there to surrender to me..."

Ganluo narrowed his eyes and countless thoughts emerged in his mind. He leaned over to the emperor seriously and said, "I will do my mission!" The emperor agreed to this matter, so there is no need to bother the emperor anymore. In the next days, this matter fell into Ganluo's hands. Ganluo did not go back to prepare anything. He followed Li Si to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked, "Do we have warriors outside the border?"

Li Si was stunned, and then understood that Gan Luo was asking if there were any spies outside the border. Li Si shook his head and said, "No." Gan Luo frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If the Prime Minister believes in me, please allow me to take charge of this matter."

"You want to send people out of the Great Wall?"

"Yes, the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, the Western Regions, and the Donghu... These tribal countries must have warriors from Qin. I need to get the latest information about them in time. I need to get all the information in these tribes, from kings to people, from internal affairs to military affairs..." Ganluo narrowed his eyes. Li Si could vaguely guess what he wanted to do. He looked at Meng Yi beside him and said, "Let Meng Yi help you with this matter."

Meng Yi widened his eyes and could only accept the order. Xiao He and Zhang Cang still wanted to help Li Si. Li Si was unwilling to send them two, so he sent a Meng Yi, who was not the most helpful to him, to assist Gan Luo. Gan Luo and Meng Yi left here and returned to their mansion. Gan Luo immediately began to tell Meng Yi to do things. First of all, Meng Yi had to select a group of elite spies. Qin State had a lot of spies, which were distributed in various countries. Now they had no jobs and had changed their appearance and became officials.

Gan Luo wanted to call these people over again. Secondly, it was to let them learn the different customs of different tribes in various places and make them disguise themselves as different people, either merchants, rangers, thieves, or even traitors. It didn't matter... Meng Yi took out a pen and recorded it. Gan Luo calmly talked about his plans. Gan Luo was preparing to establish a huge intelligence network outside the Qin Dynasty, just as the Qin State established in the six countries.

Gan Luo still has many requirements, but Gan Luo doesn’t need Gan Luo to teach. There are many spies in Qin State, and Qin State has a special agency to train them, so Gan Luo doesn’t need Gan Luo to care about it at all. Meng Yi wrote down Gan Luo’s words and couldn’t help asking: “Are you planning to send Qin’s warriors to various places outside the border? Why is this? You are just going to serve on the Yuezhi mission..."

"Even if you want to send it, you should send it to Yuezhi."

"Hahaha, you don't know. Although I am on the Yuezhi mission, if I don't know all the movements outside the border, I will not be able to accurately complete my plan..." Ganluo did not tell too much. He finally ordered: "I don't rush to go out. Please arrange these things first. When the warriors arrive in various places and start operating... I get the relevant news, I can go to the Yuezhi...Next..."

“What’s next?”

"The next time is the time for the Zongheng family to make their debut..."

Meng Yi did not understand Gan Luo's meaning at this moment. It was not until later that he heard the surprise changes outside the Great Wall that he recalled what Gan Luo said to him that day. Zhao Kuo was very concerned about the opening of the Western Regions, but when Gan Luo and Li Si began to prepare for this matter, Zhao Kuo never asked about it again. It seemed that he had completely forgotten that there was another thing. This made Zhao Gao very confused.

Zhao Gao couldn't help asking: "You personally asked about the mission to Yuezhi. Ganluo is still at home and refuses to leave. Why don't you ask him?"

Zhao Kuo said seriously: "I am not as good as Gan Luo when I go to a foreign country to persuade others. Since I am not as good as him, why do I interfere with him and influence him? If I go to him, it may destroy his own plans... This is why I don't go to him. Everyone has their own good things. Even though they are not good at it, they still have to interfere with people who are really good at it. This is the stupidest person. Such a person cannot accomplish anything."

When Zhao Xiu learned that Gan Luo was going to go on a mission to the outer border, he seemed a little excited. He came to Zhao Kuo several times and acted coquettishly with him, saying that he also wanted to go to the outer border. He was very curious about the outer border. He wanted to go and see with his own eyes the prairie where the sky and the ground were connected to him. Of course, Zhao Kuo could not let him go. Xiu was too small. Zhao Xiu was rejected several times, so he gave up this idea.

However, Mao seemed a little absent-minded, especially as he watched the Xiu who was pestering Zhao Kuo to go out of the frontier, he always lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

It was dusk, and the sky began to slowly become dark. Gan Luo sat at home as always, waiting for news from Meng Yi. Meng Yi had left Xianyang. He led the elite Qin spies to the north, preparing to send these people to every corner outside the Great Wall. Meng Yi wanted to arrange their identities and let them learn the local language. At this moment, he had not experienced the spy war in the Central Plains. It can be said that there was still a blank in this regard, which gave Gan Luo a lot of room for operation.

Ganluo felt that through these spies, he could do a lot of things.

Ganluo was reading a book when he suddenly heard the knock on the door. His retainer went to open the door. After a moment, he walked to his side and said embarrassedly: "Marquis Wucheng's grandson is here..." Ganluo was stunned. Marquis Wucheng's grandson? What did he do? Isn't that a little baby? Ganluo suddenly felt interesting. When he was on a mission to the frontier, he was also a little baby. Ganluo asked his retainer to call the child in.

However, the child who walked in was not Zhao Xiu, but Mao, the proton of the grassland.

Gan Luo's originally smiling face gradually solidified. He looked at the Hu child in front of him seriously and asked, "What's the matter?" The people who came here are of course different treatments. If it was Zhao Xiu who came here, I'm afraid Gan Luo would not dare to treat him like this. Mao did not feel offended. He looked at Gan Luo in front of him and bent over to pay his respects. Gan Luo had no choice but to return the gift. Mao then asked, "Are you going to Yuezhi this time when you are on a mission?"

"yes..."

"Uh...", Mao looked a little confused, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Gan Luo Mingrui captured the unnatural thing on Mao. He suddenly smiled and asked kindly, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

"If you go to Yuezhi this time, can you...can you help me see someone and see how she is doing?"

"Oh? Do you know someone in Yuezhi?"

"Uh... it's my mother's sister. My mother is gone, and my mother's sister has also married somewhere else. I heard that she is in Yuezhi, so I want to ask you to send someone to see her. As long as she lives well, it doesn't matter what else... If you can help me, I will thank you very much. When I grow up, I will definitely repay you." He bent down and bowed, but Ganluo lost interest at this moment. So this is what happened.

I have to repay you, what can you, the little baby from Hu family, repay me?

Gan Luo waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "Okay, I get it."

Mao looked very happy, and he hurriedly told the news about the woman, "The wife of the Xiongnu Shanyu..." At that moment, Ganluo was stunned. He almost jumped up. He asked, "The Xiongnu are in the Yuezhi?"

"Uh, I heard that they had gone to Yuezhi and asked the leader to be in Yuezhi. Please help me with her situation and see if she is doing well...I...", Mao wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything more. He gave several big gifts to Ganluo before leaving here. Ganluo narrowed his eyes and looked at the child's back as he was leaving, and suddenly noticed something in his heart.

He hurriedly called his retainers to his side and said, "Send someone to tell Meng Yi, and ask him to check Touman's wife... and children... and whether his wife was from Lin Hu. By the way, he sent someone to paint a portrait and ask Meng Yi to send it over to check if anyone knew this child... He just lied to me... He knew where the Huns were, and even the names of those wives of Touman... I think he had a big problem."

The retainer looked at Gan Luo in a daze and said, "But he is just a child... and Wu Chenghou loves him very much."

"You don't have to ask more, just do things. I will deal with the rest myself." Ganlu ordered impatiently, and the retainers had to leave.

Walking on the road, his head lowered, but his mother's smile kept popping up in his mind... He walked alone on the street, raised his head, and saw the children running around his parents on the road, his eyes were red again, and tears couldn't help falling. He hurriedly reached out and wiped his eyes. His mother once told him that the strong can never cry. No matter when, he can't cry, he must not cry.

Until the sky gradually became dark, Mao was still standing on the street. The only thing he could find in common with his home was the crescent moon in the sky. He looked at the white moonlight, and tears flashed in his eyes. Mother, are you still safe? I miss you very much, are you thinking of me too? Under the dark night, the loneliness in his heart seemed to have been magnified ten times. Zhuo couldn't help but tremble, and his heart began to fear inexplicably.

"Bao~~"

“Bao~~~”

Maodun suddenly heard someone calling him. He raised his head and saw an old man in the distance, leaning on a crutch, looking around nervously and anxiously, calling his name. He was already very old and walking was not good. Under the night, he could not see anything clearly. He could only grop and move forward with difficulty, constantly shouting his name.

"Big Father!!"
