The people of the Juyan Xiaoyue clan have long since returned to normal life. Confucian Sheng Ankang temporarily took the position of the commander of Juyan County, and waited for the commander of Juyan to return with his troops, and then made a separate decision with the elders of the Xiaoyue clan.

The three cities of the Shoulder Water and Gold Pass were all handed over to Liu Bei to garrison. Over the past few months, thousands of residents have moved in from the four counties of Hexi and are temporarily living in the two Dawan cities in the east and west. Diwan City, near Jinguan, is Liu Bei's grain and grass camp.

Liu Bei's military chariot camp was set up between the three cities. According to the water, a large area of leveled grassland is used for training soldiers and grazing horses, which is just right.

The thousands of residents who moved from the four counties of Hexi were all Duan Taiwei's old Pingqiang department. received the summons of Fu Cao Duan Xuan, and they rushed to meet one after another. In addition to the disabled veterans, there are also strong and healthy offspring. The family tradition is quite proficient in martial arts, and the bow and horse are skillful. It's a great thing. After sweeping away the begging Xianbei, reopening the Changshi Mansion, and making it guard, he only needs to protect the Western Regions for ten years, and when Liu Bei frees up his hands, he can solve the silk trade once and for all.

Knowing that the mother and daughter of the deputy Fu Luo clan were safe, Liu Bei could not hide his joy. Riding a horse out of the camp and landing on Xiongguan. Look far away and express your heart. A moment of exhilaration.

When Liu Bei returned to the camp, the generals had been waiting for a long time.

"Lord (big brother)!"

Liu Bei nodded in turn, untied the big cloud, and ordered someone to take the topographic map of the Western Regions, so that the generals came forward to watch.

Cao Duan Xuan and Zhang Meng, who had been out of the customs to investigate the enemy's situation for many days, had just returned to the camp and washed up to see them.

"What about the situation in the Western Regions?" Liu Bei asked.

Duan Xuan pointed to the topographic map of the Western Regions and replied: "Return to the lord." Hearing that the bald department was destroyed, wandering in the rear of the car division, ready to respond at any time, the beggar Xianbei fled westward in a hurry. Now it is as far as the junction of Wusun and Qiuzi. It is hidden in the White Mountain (Tian Shan). Along the way, all the countries in the Western Regions shrank into the city and closed the city gates. Although we reported the name of the Governor of the Western Han Regions, no one responded. Seeing that the grain and grass were about to run out, they had no choice but to turn back. Failed to find out the hiding place of the beggar department, and was entrusted by the lord. ”

This is to be expected. Xianbei has not been extinguished, and all the countries in the Western Regions dare not easily show favor to the Han court. Liu Bei asked the generals to sit down.

"Is there a good plan for the master book?" When the crowd was seated, Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Confucianism has three strategies, what do you want to hear?" Li Ru replied with a smile.

History is so similar......

Liu Bei replied with a smile: "Listen to the middle strategy first." ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Our army went out of the Shuijin Pass, passed through Yiwu, and arrived at Liuzhong City. According to the place where the captain of Wuji was stationed, he recovered the Western Regions Changshi Mansion. Then he ordered Juyan to lead 4,000 Xiaoyue cavalry out of Yumen, through Shanshan (Loulan), according to the canal to plow the city. The two armies echo in the north and south, and the top and bottom are each other's horns, which can be attacked and defended, which is the middle strategy. ”

Liu Bei nodded: "According to the canal plough the city, but it is necessary to prevent the turtles from rushing to help, and the turtles are connected to Xianbei." ”

"Yes, yes." Li Ru replied happily.

"What about the next step?" Liu Bei asked again.

"It's like the middle of the way. Our soldiers are divided into two routes: one way to take the willows, and the other to plow according to the ditch. Combine vertically and horizontally, tie up the countries of the Western Regions, and slowly draw them. Li Ru replied again.

The middle strategy is stable, and the lower policy is slow.

It takes a lot of time to work steadily, vertically and horizontally. It is two or three years at the least, and more than ten years. Seeing that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was close at hand, Liu Bei needed to fight quickly. First end the Xianbei rebellion. As for the countries of the Western Regions, it is not too late to clean up the rivers and mountains after they are reorganized!

Liu Bei then said: "Let's talk about the best policy." ”

Li Ru's eyes flashed: "The best strategy is to use strange risks." I can't do it unless I am the master! ”

Liu Bei smiled and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Li Ru stretched out his hand and put a little on the map: "If you want to get the Western Regions, you must first get Qiuzi!" ”

Liu Bei raised his eyes and saw it, and then he woke up: "Drive straight in." ”

Li Ru nodded and said: "If Confucianism doesn't see it with his own eyes, the lord and the second general Guan Zhang will be heroic in one ride." Don't dare to do this! Located in the middle of the countries of the Western Regions, backed by the White Mountain, facing the desert, it is the Silk Road. If you subdue the turtles, you can deter the surrounding small countries of Zuì, and then make them strong and clear, and do not interact with Xianbei. In this way, as long as there are a few oases to ambush heavy troops, how can it last long. ”

It is blocked by the Tianshan Mountains east and west of the horizontal fence. The beggar department dragged their families and mouths, and could not go west. And behind the Tianshan Mountains is the powerful Wusun, which must not allow Xianbei to enter. As Li Ru said, as long as you subdue Qiuzi, deter the countries of the Western Regions, restore the power of the Great Han Dynasty, and make the scattered countries of the Western Regions work together, the Xianbei beggar department will not be able to receive food and grass, and it will not last long. At that time, as long as there were a few large oases and rivers around, scouts were widely spread, and the beggar tribe would definitely leak their traces.

This is the same as setting up an ambush in the place where the beast leads the water, and waiting for the rabbit.

In the vast desert, there are only a handful of water sources needed to drag tens of thousands of people to their families. If Xianbei could not get supplies in the countries of the Western Regions, he could only go to the oasis to graze and draw water. At that time, it was really easy for Liu Bei to attack the king's tent at night and kill the leader of the beggar department!

The question is, how can you submit the turtle in one fell swoop.

When Emperor Xuan of the former Han Dynasty, because the first king of Qiuci killed the captain Lai Dan (the prince of the state of Humi, he was a hostage of the country of Qiuci at the beginning, and the general of the second division Li Guangli was va Dawan, and when the army passed through the army, he heard that the prince Lai Dan was hostage to Qiuci, and sent someone to question the king of Qiuci, and took Lai Dan to Chang'an, and then Lai Dan was entrusted with a heavy task by the Han court and returned to the Western Regions to protect Tuntian. ), Changluo Hou Changhui and 50,000 people attacked Qiuzi. The incumbent Qiuzi Wang Jiangbin immediately surrendered. Later, Jiang Bin sought to get the princess of relief and Wusun Wang Weng Guimi's eldest daughter brother Shi as his wife, and entered the pilgrimage with his brother Shi to see the Han Emperor, and vigorously promoted sinicization after returning to China.

After Jiangbin's death, his son Chengde claimed to be the grandson of the Han Emperor, and Qiuzi became more and more closely associated with the Han Dynasty.

In the third year of Yongyuan of the Han Dynasty (91 years), Qiuzi returned to the Han Dynasty again. The Han Dynasty took Ban Chao as the capital protector, and established the capital to protect the government in Qiuzi and its Qiancheng. Later, due to the war, the Western Regions were withdrawn. In the end of the Han Dynasty, Qiuzi rebelled infrequently.

Typical wall-ridden style.

When discussing strategies with the master bookkeeper and the generals, Liu Bei suddenly thought of someone. Bai Zhuo.

Many years ago, the old king of Qiuzi passed away. Bai Zhuo, a descendant of the king of Qiuzi, was involved in a riot over the throne. So he led his henchmen to escort him to the Han Court, intending to ask for rescuers to return to the country. coincided with the rebellion in Xiqiang, and the Silk Road was not leading to Chang'an. In the name of a mercenary, he traveled eastward with the caravan along the border and arrived in the Central Plains in a few months. Later, he heard that Liu Bei, the marquis of the young monarch, built a mansion in the mutual market, so he came to Lousang with the escort Hu Shang.

I don't know, can Bai Zhuo use it?

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Bei gave up. Rest in the back room.

In the past few days, the seven young ladies are not as obsessed as before.

As soon as I asked, Dr. Linghua, a doctor from Linxiang, wrote and said: The Yuanyang of people is like the essence of heaven and earth. All things sprout, all have the right time, place and people. The melon can only fall when it is ripe. Asking for it every day, the essence is not mature, and it is useless. It is necessary to make the lord Liu Bei recuperate and strive for perfection in order to be energetic and achieve success overnight. Preferably limited to three days. Don't be too cut, too hasty, too violent.

In short, slowly it.

He also sent fertility conditioning drugs to the seven sisters to take them on time.

Liu Bei thought so. Go deep and simple, whip into the inside, still try and fail, there must be a reason. and comforted the seven young ladies with kind words, there is no need to be too anxious. Some things come naturally, and they all obey the destiny of heaven.

Sometimes you have to have it in your life, and you don't need to force it.
