Chapter 6762: Everything is expedient

As an important official of the Jin State, Jia Xu had won the trust of the Emperor of Jin. It was said that the Jin State needed important plans and was closely related to Jia Xu. Jia Xu had a pivotal position in the court.

Being able to be crowned king in the Jin Kingdom itself proves Jia Xu's extraordinary ability.

"When I came to Chang'an this time, Jia Shangshu helped me a lot. I am deeply grateful to you. Without Jia Shangshu, it would not have been easy for me to successfully complete this mission." Anadoshan sighed.

.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "The envoy is too polite. An'an has good relations with the Jin State. The Holy One has many praises for King An'an. The two sides have close contacts. It is of great benefit to the Jin State and An'an."

"The words of the Minister are true. The Parthian Empire will definitely not conflict with the Jin State." Anadoshan said: "What is sad is that Rome is eyeing the city of Parthia."

Speaking of this, Anadoshan quietly looked at Jia Xu, but saw that Jia Xu's face was calm and there was nothing strange about it.

"The envoy does not need to worry too much. Although the Roman Empire is powerful, the Jin State's national power is not inferior. With the support of the Holy One, even if the Roman Empire gathers troops to invade, the Holy One will not stand idly by." Jia Xu said solemnly.

road.

Anadoshan stood up and said, "With Jia Shangshu's words, I feel relieved."

The envoys of the Parthian Empire will inevitably have more worries about the future development of the situation. This is also inevitable. Who knows that next to the Parthian Empire, there is also the Jin Kingdom that is eyeing it.

Compared to the Roman Empire, the threat posed by the Jin army's strength was greater.

However, from seeing the behavior of the Emperor of Jin and some of the important officials of Jin, it is not difficult to see that Jin at this time had no more plans for the war. After experiencing the Battle of Kushan, it was a drain on Jin's national power.

, obviously relatively large.

What's more, the Jin State is in the midst of rapid development at this time. If the momentum of development cannot be maintained well, it will not be of greater benefit to the stability of the Jin State's position.

The Jin State did receive many benefits from the war, and these benefits significantly helped increase the Jin State's influence.

But the stability and development after the war will also consume Jin's huge energy.

The damage caused by the war could not be eliminated overnight. The emperor of Jin State used methods unimaginable by ordinary people. This also brought more help to the rapid development of Jin State. However, Jin State still needed a lot of buffers.

time.

What left the Parthian high-level officials helpless was that the Roman Empire had more ideas about the Parthian Empire. Who allowed the Parthian Empire to lose its troops on the battlefield in Kushan and let the Roman Empire see an opportunity.

That night, Anadoshan stayed at Shangshu Mansion.

The Roman envoy who learned the news was not at peace in his heart. He had been in Chang'an for a long time. He knew Jia Xu's way of doing things. It can be said that Jia Xu was a very low-key and important minister of the Jin Dynasty.

However, Jia Xu's meeting with the Parthian messengers gave him an ominous feeling.

No matter what, the alliance between the Parthian Empire and the Jin State is more stable. This is an out-and-out fact.

The price paid by the Parthian Empire in its interactions with the Jin State was unprecedented. Even the Roman envoys were extremely shocked after learning about it. The Parthian Empire, which had never shown weakness, actually made concessions and paid three

The price of the city.

This made the top leaders of the Roman Empire jealous, and it also proved from the side that the Parthian Empire's strength was greatly reduced after experiencing the Kushan War.

After arriving in Chang'an, the Roman envoys had a different view. The Parthian Empire had indeed suffered a lot of losses during the war, and they were more in awe of the Jin's powerful strength.

Seeing the Jin army's combat weapons and learning more about the Jin army's glory made the Roman envoy feel panicked.

This was also the reason why the Roman envoy could not wait to strengthen relations with the Jin State. It was the Roman envoy who made the decision in advance to purchase three-eyed muskets, artillery and other supplies from the Jin State.

The Roman envoy believed that when these weapons of war appeared in the Roman Empire, they would definitely attract the attention of the empire's top officials.

The people of the Roman Empire have always attached great importance to war. The proud Roman legions sweeping across the battlefield are such an honor. It is precisely because of maintaining extremely strong strength that the Roman Empire has a transcendent status in the surrounding areas.

Once such a position is shaken, the consequences will often be unacceptable.

The Emperor of Jin obviously had reservations about his support for the Parthian Kingdom, which was also an important reason for making the Roman envoy feel more reassured.

As expected by the Roman envoy, news came from the empire that it would spare no effort to make good relations with the Jin State and obtain as many of the Jin's combat weapons as possible. As for the materials needed to exchange the Jin's combat weapons, they were already on their way to Kushan.

.

The powerful Roman Empire showed great efficiency in this matter.

Mainly because the news delivered through Roman envoys was too terrifying. If these weapons of war really existed in large numbers in the Jin Kingdom, they would have an even greater impact on the Roman Empire's army.

Of course, many high-level officials in the Roman Empire were skeptical about this matter, and most believed it was an exaggeration.

It is good that the Jin army was superior in strength because they did not encounter Roman legions on the battlefield.

Although the elites of the Roman Empire had experiences with the Jin army in the past, those were small-scale encounters and did not represent the outcome of a war.

However, the monarch of the Roman Empire still chose to believe the news from the messenger. At worst, the Roman Empire would lose some supplies. If these news were true, the impact on the situation would be too great, and they would even launch a war against the Parthian Empire.

, also requires extra caution.

War pursues the maximization of interests. If one's own side cannot obtain more benefits, but instead suffers more losses on the battlefield, such a war will have no more meaning.

The Roman Empire was able to achieve its current glory because of a lot of efforts. Similar to the top leaders of the Jin State, at the beginning of the war, the Roman Empire also had careful planning and deployment.

After receiving the confirmed news, the Roman envoys began operations again in the city.

There is an endless stream of vehicles coming and going in the craftsman's workshop outside Chang'an City, but these carriages are subject to extremely strict inspections, no matter where they come from.

Those who are attentive will find that many of the carriages coming out of the craftsman's workshop look very heavy, and the destination of these vehicles seems to be railway transportation.

These goods were exactly the weapons that the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire sought to purchase.

Ordinary people naturally don't worry too much about these things. They live in the stable and powerful Jin State, which is the greatest happiness for them.

The powerful Jin State showed a prosperous side, and the sense of belonging of the people in the country reached an unprecedented height.

This is due to the fact that they have a wise and powerful emperor. Although the war will bring a lot of burden to the Jin State, after the war is over, the Jin State can quickly ease out of the war, which in turn makes the Jin State even stronger.

That's another matter.

The senior officials of the Jin State naturally knew more about the contacts between the Jin State and the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire. Many officials expressed concern. After all, the Parthian Empire and the Jin State had conflicts before. If the Jin State obtained the

More help may be detrimental to Jin's rule in Guishang.

In particular, the Parthian Empire gave up three important cities. This kind of thing cannot be forgiven by any empire. After all, the number of cities and territory determines whether the empire is strong enough, and it is also related to their future.

the development of the situation.

However, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty overcame everyone's opinions on this matter and exchanged the Jin army's combat weapons for supplies.

The prestige of the Emperor of Jin determines that when the Emperor of Jin and important officials of Jin decide these matters, they can be quickly implemented in Jin.

Moreover, the Emperor of Jin was in his prime, so he would definitely make clear judgments on such matters. It is not difficult to see from the past behavior of the Emperor of Jin that he would not suffer losses in interactions.

This made some officials secretly speculate whether the Jin army had a more powerful combat weapon.

If we say that the most obvious change brought about by the Jin emperor is the improvement of the equipment of the army's officers and soldiers, this provides a more solid guarantee for the Jin army's victory in the war, and allows the Jin army to win again and again.

Achieve greater achievements in difficult war situations.

In the palace, important officials of the empire gathered. These were important ministers who could determine the direction of the empire's situation.

When everyone saw Lu Bu appearing, they quickly stood up and saluted.

At this time, the Jin State was becoming increasingly strong and prosperous, and its etiquette was becoming more and more perfect.

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."

Looking at these familiar faces, now acting so reserved in front of him, Lu Bu actually felt a sense of loneliness, which is something that superiors must face.

In the past, when he was a prince, Lu Bu could have very close contacts with the civil servants and generals under his rule, and he would even behave casually in his speech and behavior. However, as the king of a country, his majesty must be guaranteed.

Of course, Guo Jia, Minister of the Ministry of War, acted more casually in this matter. For this reason, Guo Jia was often impeached by officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"Wen He, tell me about the situation." Lu Bu turned his attention to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, now we have reached an agreement with the Roman envoys and the Parthian envoys, and the supplies for sale have been finalized. General Zhao Yun has sent news that the supplies from Rome and Parthia are on their way."

"Very good." Lu Bu nodded slightly, "This batch of materials will be of great help to the development of Jin."

"How is the situation with the construction of the railway?"

"In two months, we can reach Chigu City. Although the transportation from Chigu City to Kushan is not as simple as the railway, it can be completed quickly," Mi Zhu said.

Railway construction is the current priority of the Jin State, and this is also related to whether the Jin State will take more actions in its future development.

If greater success can be achieved in railway construction and transportation, it will be a greater stimulus to the Jin Dynasty.

From the past development path of the Jin State, we can see what kind of attitude the Emperor of the Jin State would have towards war. It can be said that as long as the Emperor of the Jin State sees an opportunity, he will not give up easily, precisely because

With such a style, Jin will have a greater advantage in development, but its opponents will often pay a huge price.

The emperor's behavior had a great influence on the civil and military affairs of Jin.

The deterrent power displayed by such a Jin State is very great, and it is also very difficult to obtain benefits from the Jin State.

Ordinary officials may not understand the significance of this transaction and alliance, but as important officials of the empire, they know it. They know even more that the emperor has thoughts about the Parthian Empire and even the Roman Empire.

When the Jin State, which has obtained the land of Kushan, has gained more development since the end of the war, and its military strength has been replenished in a timely manner, the emperor of Jin will turn his attention to the battlefield again.

"Yes, tell Zhao Yun that everything should be done cheaply," Lu Bu warned.

Jia Xu nodded, "Your Majesty, although General Zhao is in charge of Shuangzhou, this matter is of great importance. I request to go to Shuangzhou."

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said: "If Wen He goes to Shuangzhou, it will definitely be safer. However, Wen He holds an important position and leaves Chang'an rashly. Once the messengers of Rome and Parthia know about it, they will definitely be alert."

"Your Majesty, if this subordinate says he is ill, he will definitely lower his vigilance after a period of time." Jia Xu said.
