The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 256 German slaves, exchange for spices
"I'm also very interested in these Germanic female slaves. If you can transport a white female slave, then I will use one-tenth of her weight to deliver you the same amount of pepper spice!"

Liu Bian said.

Anyway, Huo Qubing's army soon invaded Tianzhu.

As long as Tianzhu falls into their hands, the spices there will basically be monopolized by the Han army. If they go south from Jiaozhi County, the spices on various islands can be collected at will, and they can become another kind of gold mine.

You know, in the Roman Empire at this time, the price of spices was rising year by year, almost as much as silk.

"What, Your Majesty, is what you said true?" Patrius was stunned.

A German slave girl, although the price of high-quality goods is not low, she will never be worth ten pounds of spices.

Calculated in this way, the Romans made a lot of money.

"Of course it's true. My soldiers need a lot of women, and those Germanic female slaves are the best goods." Liu Bian said.

In fact, this was basically prepared for Huo Qubing's men.

In the future, when Huo Qubing's Han army enters Tianzhu, it is bound to expand its population.

For those Ah Sans, the fairer their skin, the more noble they are.

Liu Bian simply prepared some German girls for Huo Qubing and the others. No matter how hairy they are, as long as they look white, they are enough for their descendants to be able to control those asan.

"My empire is vast and thousands of miles away. I'm afraid it is even higher than your Roman Empire. If you follow me back to the capital of Han Dynasty, you will see it." Liu Bian said.

Regarding this Roman envoy, Liu Bian wanted to shock him.

These Romans in the province think that they are superior every day, as if they are more civilized than the big man.

Upon hearing the invitation from the Han Emperor, Patrius immediately agreed without hesitation.

"I am very willing, if I can follow your majesty to see the Roman city of the big man!"

As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome, Patellius felt that it was a kind of supreme praise for him to use the name of Rome to name the capital of a big man.

And Liu Bian heard the meaning.

He couldn't help sneering in his heart, these Romans were really a little arrogant.

The current Luoyang City has undergone a new round of expansion, and it can be called the largest capital city in history.

It even surpassed the scale of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in history.

Although the capital of the Roman Empire was the largest city in the Roman Empire, it was completely inferior to Luoyang City in terms of scale and organization.

Even compared with Chang'an City, it is not surpassed.

"Okay, then prepare to follow me back!"

Liu Bian was determined to cure the arrogance of these Romans.

Then, he let Patrius go down.

He himself was the driver who ordered people to start preparing to return to the Central Plains.

When he returns to Luoyang this time, he will not only bring the three daughters Sun Shangxiang, Yu Wenzhao, Di Linaza and their children, but also a large number of captives.

These captives are all nobles from various countries in the Western Regions. When they are brought back to the Central Plains, they will be baptized by the teachings of the Han Dynasty, and then they can be slowly sent back.

According to Liu Bian's plan, when they return, their loyalty to the big man will rise in a straight line. After all, they have not seen the mighty national power of the big man at this time, and they don't know how terrible the big man will be if a war breaks out enemy.

"Your Majesty, we will go from the south road of the Western Region Protectorate, then pass through Liangzhou in Longxi, and then enter Guanzhong and return to Luoyang."

Ran Min, who was making plans, said.

As one of the generals who controlled the country, after Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were assigned to Persia and Tianzhu, Ran Min was transferred to the Western Regions to take charge of the overall situation.

Now returning to the Central Plains, Ran Min led the army to personally escort him.

"No, not this way."

Liu Bian shook his head and denied.

This is a road that needs to cross the Gobi desert. Although there are many oases on the road, Liu Bian's team is huge and it is not conducive to progress.

"Then His Majesty intends to choose the North Road?" Ran Min asked.

"Well, that's right. Taking the North Road, I want to take a look at the situation in various parts of the grassland." Liu Bian said.

Now, after large-scale westward migration, the number of tribes on the grassland has been greatly reduced, and the supply capacity of the grassland has also increased linearly. The tribes have a better life, and they are much more peaceful.

"Your Majesty, the grassland tribes are too barbaric. It would be bad if your Majesty's car is hurt." Ran Min was naturally hostile to the Hu people.

"Haha, don't worry, my safety is not so easy to threaten." Liu Bian laughed.

According to the information I got, the information on the longevity secret stone tablet appeared in the Qianghu area of ​​the grassland. It would be the easiest and fastest way for me to return from there.

Of course, the only problem is that there are not so many supplies along the way, and the living conditions are not as good as those along the Longxi Road.

Liu Bian's guard of honor for the emperor of the Han Dynasty, escorted by tens of thousands of cavalry from Ran Min, walked eastward along the grassland of the river, passed through the grassland of Wusun in Kangju, and reached the north of the Tianshan Mountains. After resting here for a while, the army again Just keep going.

We passed through the Tianshan North Road again, entered the Moxi Grassland, and then headed all the way to the grassland next door to Xihai County.

The entire march took almost four months.

When they arrived in Xihai County, it was already late autumn.

Liu Bian finally discovered the longevity secret stone tablet here.

After obtaining the information about this stone tablet, Liu Bian got another hint.

The next two longevity secret stone tablets seem to be in the Tianzhu continent and the Scythian grassland!

Liu Bian of Tianzhu Continent knew about it and had already sent Huo Qubing to conquer it.

As for the Scythian Grassland, Liu Bian was a little surprised.

"The Scythia Grassland, isn't that the place where the ancestors of the big Maozi and the Ermaozi wandered? I wonder if it belongs to the Maozi now?"

The Scythian steppe is actually a general name, and the entire Eastern European plain can belong to it.

If Liu Bian wants to go to Scythia, he must be prepared to grow a lot.

"Forget it, come one by one, get Tianzhu first, and then find a way to get the Scythian grassland."

For the Scythian Grassland, there is too little useful information, so we can only come one by one.

The army rested in Xihai County for another three days. Seeing that the cold wind and snow were coming, Liu Bian led the army to go south into Longxi, Liangzhou.

When the army trekked all the way and finally entered the boundary of Liangzhou, the entire team of Han soldiers cheered with joy.

They all knew that once they entered Liangzhou, they were considered to have stepped into the border of the Central Plains, and it was no longer a place outside the Great Wall with a harsh environment.

"Let the governor of Liangzhou prepare wine and meat. I want to comfort the soldiers of the big man."

Liu Bian was very happy to see this. After working hard for so long, he was finally back.
