Chapter 662: Going Home
You Chong went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, with Li Xun's current status and status, it was barely enough for this qualification, but this is not the point, the important thing is that after Li Xun and You Min combined, he had an extremely close relationship with the entire You family, and with this relationship, You Chong naturally looked at Li Xun differently.
"Brother Zhengnan, I haven't seen you for many days, but the brilliance is still there!"
You Chong is due south.
Li Xun and You Chong approached on horseback, and Li Xun hugged his fists and laughed.
You Chong also clenched his fists and laughed: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Brother Gongguo is already a duke, and he is also the general of the Jiedu Envoy, which is far worse than your brother and me You Chong." ”
Li Xun waved his hand and smiled: "I, Li Xun, am a scattered person now, so don't make fun of me." ”
When Li Xun first arrived in Wuzhou, with Zhao Zhi and Zhao Xun as backers, and with the full support of several generals such as Shan Qiu and Zhao Wei, he seized the military and political power of Wuzhou by tough means. It is also holding thousands of elite henchmen army, which has attracted the attention of the You family, and he took the initiative to retreat, but instead obtained more opportunities for himself, under the interrogation and intervention of You Yuanfeng, the head of the family, You Mingyuan, the head of the family, has already included You Chong in the main vein of the family, and in the days to come, the family will put a considerable part of its resources and energy on You Chong here, pushing him to the top position.
For You Chong, You Mingyuan is very active, and it is also that if the family can master a certain number of troops, this is a very good thing for the stability and security of the family, not to say what to do to master the army, but with the army, at least you can have a certain degree of self-protection ability, such as the Yang family, if it were not for the Yang family to master a considerable number of troops, according to Yang Binglin's arrogance and nonsense, it would have been destroyed by Zhao Zhi a long time ago, how could it be possible to wait until now.
You Chong Zhengse said: "Li Xun, don't be modest, you led the army to take the entire Western Regions, what a huge feat, my Jin Dynasty has been established for more than 500 years, whenever it is strong, it is intended to be in the Western Regions, but it has not succeeded, this achievement of yours has made you famous all over the world, and it will definitely leave a name in history in the future." ”
Li Xun said with a smile: "To be honest, I was still very excited when I first won the Western Regions, but many people behaved very indifferently about it, which made me think it was no big deal. ”
You Chong smiled lightly: "Your success is the failure of others, naturally there are many people who want to downplay this matter, this is inevitable, you know it in your own heart." ”
Li Xun said lightly: "The reason why I was able to win the Western Regions this time is because of luck, but in fact, it is not as powerful as you think." ”
Occupying the entire territory of the Western Regions, Li Xun himself is indeed extremely happy, but he is not as extremely excited as others imagined, and he is not arrogant and arrogant, because Li Xun knows that the reason why he was able to successfully win the Western Regions is that luck and strength account for two points each, but more is the overall situation.
The Jin Dynasty was founded for more than 500 years, such a long time, there has been a decline, and naturally there has been a glorious and prosperous era, the most recent one is the Wuzong period, the brilliant and powerful national strength, launching a military war with foreign countries, that is inevitable, otherwise how to show the strength of the Jin Dynasty? And how do you make your country subjugated? Convince people with virtue, that is also a kind word after the fight.
The Jin Dynasty had several large-scale military operations against foreign countries, against the barbarians in the Northeast, against the Baiyue west of Lingnan, and against the Hu people, as long as the Jin Dynasty was strong, it could be easy to succeed, but for the Western Regions, in addition to the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, in that era of famous generals and elite scholars, the establishment of the Three Towns of the Western Regions, and several military operations since then have failed, the fundamental reason is that the road is too far away, and the continuous rise of the lunar eclipse and the Dashi Empire, and there is another reason, that is, the Jin Dynasty several strong periods, It didn't last long, it was internally unstable, and there was no power or energy to take care of the situation in the Western Regions.
The reason why Li Xun felt that he was able to take the Western Regions this time was due to the overall situation, for many reasons, the decline of the Dashi Empire, Zhan Bai's poor soldiers and silent martial arts, and the different intentions and disunity of the countries in the Western Regions gave Li Xun the most favorable opportunity to send troops to the Western Regions, and finally succeeded and achieved great results.
Li Xun knows that taking the Western Regions is just the beginning, if you want to have long-term stability, long-term occupation, and finally integrate into the entire Han territory, you still need to pay many costs, not to mention, let's just say that the Persian Empire, because of the rapid expansion, needs to stabilize the internal environment, and the remnants of the Dashi Empire are still desperately resisting, it takes a certain amount of time to digest these, if the Persian Empire is not a short-lived dynasty, to solve these problems, the short is a few years, the long is up to ten years, after solving the internal problems, The next step of the Persian Empire must be the Western Regions, and at that time, the military strength left by the Han people in the Western Regions can withstand it?
You Chong chuckled: "Whether it's luck or not, anyway, you won the entire Western Regions, and this is the final result." ”
Li Xun nodded, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, so he said separately: "What's the matter, seeing that I have made a great contribution, I actually went out of the city ten miles to greet me?" I can't afford it! ”
You Chong laughed: "Your face is too big, I'm not for you." ”
"For my wife?"
"What do you mean by wife?"
"Oh, wife means wife."
You Chong looked at Li Xun strangely: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you are still the same, and from time to time you just come up with a strange sentence or two." ”
While the two were talking, You Min was riding over on a horse at this time.
"Cousin, in order to welcome me, go ten miles out of the city, this is too public."
Although You Chong is more than ten years older than You Min, the two are the same generation.
You Chong looked at You Min, pointed at Li Xun and smiled: "Cousin, it seems that you are much more self-aware than Li Xun." ”
You Min glanced at Li Xun and chuckled, "He's always been thick-skinned. ”
Li Xun touched his face and said with a smile: "If you don't have thick skin, how can you marry a beauty like you?" ”
You Min glared at Li Xun: "If it weren't for my cousin here, I would really have to pull your face hard to see how thick your skin is." ”
When You Chong heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
A few people exchanged pleasantries, and then walked towards Huizhou City.
On the way, Li Xun looked at the thousands of soldiers around him, smiled at You Chong and asked, "You don't need such a big battle, right?" It's as if I'm Li Xun a lot of weight. ”
"You're weighing a lot right now!"
You Chong whispered to Li Xun: "Your father-in-law has written several times and repeatedly told him, as well as His Royal Highness the Prince, including the two factions of the Yiwang and the Yang family, all of which are for me to protect your safety, and you should know the reason for this." ”
Li Xun nodded, squinting, and a smile appeared on his face.
