Chapter 512: Fishing in Troubled Waters

Yang Biao doesn't know a lot about political matters, but he still understands military principles.

It's not that he hasn't fought with the Huns, and when he needs to guard against something, he has some numbers.

But as for the issue of supply, Yang Biao really didn't think about it at all.

For their fifteen thousand men had no supplies at all.

The Han Dynasty has a long way to go, so how can it be possible to keep bringing supplies?

From the beginning, they planned to get supplies on the spot in the Western Regions.

Everything was shipped from the mainland, and the Han Dynasty was not so rich, even if it was Huaxia in later generations, it was not so rich.

Most of the military rations in the border areas are also locally produced or cultivated by themselves.

Luoyang ......

A hurried sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

It attracted everyone's attention.

Dahan hasn't seen this kind of picture for many years.

The herald cavalry, with five flags on their bodies, galloped all the way, and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening, whistling through the crowd.

The surprised crowd had to avoid it urgently, and some of them reacted slowly, and they were quickly pulled away by the people around them.

What is the scariest thing about Dahan?

Herald cavalry with five flags on their bodies.

When you meet such a person, even in the middle of the night, you have to open the city gates.

In order to prevent people from using this method to deceive the city gates, there are naturally some preventive measures.

In the same way, when you meet this kind of person, it is how far you run, and don't try to go up and try it.

The law makes it clear that even if you are killed and your horses and cavalry are injured, your family will have to pay for it.

If you don't die, then make compensation, and then go directly to prison for the crime, and you don't need much to explain at all.

Even the children of the big men know that the cavalry of the five red flags cannot be stopped.

And for many years, Dahan has never seen such a scene at all.

And this cavalry came from the west, and many people can't figure out, what is going on in the west?

"Your Majesty, the urgent report of Zhao Jingluo, the envoy of the Western Regions, and General Yang, the general of the Western Regions!" Today happens to be the first day of the new year, the big court.

The herald cavalry walked into the Great Han Hall without hindrance, directly interrupted the ongoing court meeting, and galloped all the way to the front, taking out two boxes from his body, each with different letterheads.

"What's going on?"

"In terms of time, Zhao Jingluo and General Yang have almost arrived in Loulan, right?"

"Well, it's almost ......"

The ministers were similarly confused by the form of the urgency.

Zhang Buyi hurriedly came down to take over the two urgent reports, and neatly placed them on the several cases in front of the emperor.

On the way to retrieve it, he had already checked the seals, and they were all intact.

Now that I've switched to a new way of delivering a herald, I don't have to worry about a herald running back from the border to death.

A post station in twenty miles, even if it is this kind of urgent report, it is also delivered through the post station.

But unlike a normal pass, this is a dedicated person.

Each post station is equipped with two special heralds, who are used to deliver some urgent official documents, or higher-level official documents, as well as such urgent reports.

Because it is a fixed-point teleportation, a post station or city that can be directly connected to the surrounding area has long become a familiar face.

Who is the ordinary transmitter and who is the special transmitter, your downstream all knows.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty adopted the method of fixed personnel to ensure the safety of information transmission and the safety of the city.

If a newcomer comes, a notice will be issued by the county government where the post station is located to all post stations.

Then the newcomer can only go on the road alone after running with the old man for a month and getting acquainted with everyone around him.

Wang Buxing first opened Zhao Tuo's letterhead.

I took a serious look at the above content, and I couldn't see any joy or anxiety on my face.

Gently put down the letterhead, and then opened Yang Biao's letterhead.

The content of the two people's letterheads echoes.

The core problem was that the Xiongnu had taken full control of the Western Regions, and had detained the king of Loulan to the court of the Xiongnu, and supported those close to them to the throne in order to control the place, and they guessed that the situation was similar in other places.

Qiuzi and Wusun were defeated and left the country, the king of Wusun was killed in battle, and Wusun was divided into two.

Seeing this, Wang Bu was hungry and sighed.

"It seems that this is the will of God!" Wang Bu was still a little depressed.

Originally, I wanted to open it, but this matter is so unsmooth, since this is the case, let's stop there!

"Your Majesty......"

"Wusun has died, Qiuzi has also escaped, the king of Loulan has been detained in the court of the Xiongnu king, and the entire Western Regions has changed!" Wang Bu was hungry and said directly.

"Ah???h

"This ......"

"How can it be so fast?"

"It's like that, I've already guessed it, but I didn't expect it to be a step slower!" Wang Buyu continued, and the hall was instantly silent.

The response of the imperial court cannot be said to be slow, in fact, it is fast enough to be able to do this.

But the Huns were faster, but this was also something that could not be helped.

Who let the Huns have no home? They can be more fearless when they do things.

"Zhao Jingluo suggested that I give each of them an edict to each of the city-states, agreeing that they should attach the Great Han and become a member of the Great Han, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, wouldn't this be a little unpleasant?" Xiao He couldn't help blushing a little, why is it too embarrassing?

Isn't this just taking advantage of the Xiongnu to engage in the Western Regions, and the Han hurried over to grab the territory?

Even if it's a robbery, we have to be above board, so that people can't find faults?

"Xiao Shizhong, the old man doesn't agree with this, this Western Regions City is attached to the request, and His Majesty agrees to their request, why is it not good? They should yearn for the Great Han, that's why there is such a request, if His Majesty refuses them, this is not good! Chen Ping retorted directly.

Xiao He, Xiao He, you are indeed good in governance.

But externally, it's still a bit weak.

Now it is clear that the Western Regions are in a state of ownerlessness, although the Xiongnu can run rampant and domineering in the Western Regions, but the Han Dynasty can also do it.

Why didn't you take advantage of the Huns to muddy the water, and the Han also went to fish in troubled waters?

And now is also the best time, if you miss this time, you may never find such a good opportunity in the future.

"Well, what Shang Shuling said is reasonable, if I don't agree, it will be a little too unkind, tell Zhao Tuo, you must treat the people of the Western Regions well, although they joined late, but they are also the people of the Han Dynasty, and they must not be treated differently."

"This Hun must have known that they had the intention to join the Han Dynasty, so they sent troops to destroy it, which is really hateful!"

"Order Han Xin, lead 150,000 troops, and immediately send troops to the Western Regions!"

"In addition, since Wusun has died in the country, this marriage will be forgotten......"
