Chapter 962: Simplicity

Chang'an, the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty.

After countless wars and ruins, after Yuan Shu arranged a large number of manpower and material resources to rebuild, the world's largest city surpassed Jinling rose from the ground, and it was already a prosperous state.

After the war in the land of Guanlong, although the people were almost one in ten and the population was sparse, Yuan Shu moved a lot of people from the south to fill it. Moreover, there are also a large number of far-sighted gentry and wanderers who voluntarily come all the way to come, because this is the future capital of Great Chu.

However, in the past few years, the population of Chang'an City has exceeded one million, among which there are countless merchants and gentry, and there is a great momentum to surpass Jinling. In order to ensure the political status of Chang'an, Da Chu constantly tilted resources towards it, and the old minister Zhang Zhao personally took charge of the construction and development of Chang'an.

In the side hall of the newly built palace in Chang'an City, Yuan Shu was listening to the recitals of several confidants and important ministers in the study.

"Your Majesty, with the convenience of the water division, General Xingba has successfully taken Sanhan, Goguryi and other places with the cooperation of the army of Liaodong, and eliminated the forces of Gongsun Du." Guo Jiadao.

"Xingba's speed is fast, isn't it? I thought it would take some time. Yuan Shuluo said in surprise.

"The land of Samhan, Goguryi, and Gongsun Du are just clowns who jump off the beam, and the soldiers and major generals are weak, and the difficulty of the conquest is mainly due to the geographical inconvenience. Xingba himself was born as a water bandit, and he was good at skirmishing, and he had already mastered the complex and scattered water system of Sanhan, and with proper command and scheduling, it was not surprising that he would take it so quickly. Xun Yu said.

They have no doubts about Gan Ning's strength, except for Zhou Yu, the boss of the navy, even the land battle is not much inferior. The battle against Samhan was given to him after careful consideration, and the result lived up to expectations, and he easily won it with a small attempt.

"Your Majesty, General Xingba's good news is already on the way, and at this rate, it is expected to arrive in Chang'an in three days."

"It's a good time, just in time for my national ceremony." The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth are slightly upturned.

"Over there in the Western Regions, the Yang family is also doing well, and they also have a big gift on the way, and they won't be delayed." Jia Xu said.

"These guys are really a headache when they make trouble, but it's really good to harm other people." Yuan Shu shook his head with a smile.

"Your Majesty's brother-in-law is still very clear about the situation, and he led the Kansai family to basically control the power of the Western Regions, but I just don't know how long they have been planning." Jia Xu said pointedly.

Regarding the situation of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, after he infiltrated it to understand it, he was simply taken aback by the handiwork of the Kansai family.

These families really don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, and their hearts are all black. In the 36 countries of the Western Regions, I don't know how many years of layout, the power is all over the place, and the people in power who are pushed out on the surface are all puppets, and the actual power has long been tightly held by them.

However, Jia Xu can also see that these strokes were just the backhands of the Kansai family at the beginning. On the one hand, it can stabilize the Silk Road and provide a steady stream of finance for Kansai, and on the other hand, it can also be a backup when the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

The reason why it has developed so rapidly and now that all the countries in the Western Regions have been included in its control is that it began with Yuan Shu dividing the southwest and leaving Liangzhou.

"These families do have a long-term vision. Since His Majesty carried out the matter of dividing the southwest, they have shifted part of their focus to the infiltration of the countries of the Western Regions, and they will take almost all of the Western Regions in just a few years. They had anticipated the current situation years ago. Guo Jiadao.

"That's their specialty, and there's nothing wrong with that." Yuan Shu didn't care.

Because Yuan Shu made his fortune from the south, the families of Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou benefited the most, and they also became bigger. Today, the family has been transformed from the original Kanto and Kansai families into five major groups: Kanto, Kansai, Jiangdong, Jingyi, and Hebei.

Today, the Kanto family is still the leader, after all, the heritage is there. The Kansai family has included the Western Regions in its bag, the Jiangdong family has expanded overseas, the Jingyi family has focused on the southwest, and the Hebei family has set out to plug the north.

They all acted as the vanguard of Dachu's expansion of territory to the outside world, and they continued to do their old jobs in secret.

"The way to seek the country is to complement each other. Although the national strength is the first priority, such a tricky method of the family is also a clever hand. The importance of fighting and fighting is no less important than that of the army. Xun Yu said objectively.

Yuan Shu nodded approvingly.

With a little bit of history, he knew that the original time and space was not only the most chaotic era of the Han Dynasty and about to perish. The other three empires also had their own problems and were on the verge of extinction.

If it is normal, even with the current national strength of Great Chu, it will take at least ten years to win Guishuang.

Don't underestimate the heritage of an empire, such a vast territory is not easy to take. Once he fell into anxiety, Yuan Shu needed to consume countless financial and material resources in terms of logistics and dispatch. Coupled with the expeditionary operations and the resistance of the local people, the difficulty is beyond imagination.

The wars of the Sui and Tang dynasties against Goguryi are the best examples. It's not how strong Gao Guli is, if he fights head-on and doesn't consider logistics, the Sui and Tang dynasties can easily defeat it, but it is easy to defeat and it is difficult to destroy the country, and the elimination of a country is not as simple as relying on combat power.

Yuan Shu is not afraid of the butterfly effect and dares to attack Guishan and other countries, and the biggest confidence and guarantee is the family.

The family can't provide much troops, but it can blindfold Guishan's eyes and dull Guishan's brain, and make them unable to unite, always maintain a state of immortality, unable to gather national strength, which is not worse than a million army.

"Today, the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions, although they are still nominally vassal states of my Great Chu, have actually been completely included in the control of the family. As long as Your Majesty is willing, the countries of the Western Regions can change their flags at any time and become the prefectures and counties of my Great Chu. Xun Yu said.

"No, I don't. I don't care about those false names, and I'm not in a hurry for this time. Let them keep it like this for the first time, continue to disguise, and wait until they have taken down the cream and rested in peace, and then it will not be too late to find out. ”

Yuan Shu was proud in his heart, and he felt like he was playing a game from the perspective of God.

Relying on the foresight and the strength of the family, Yuan Shu now has a feeling of playing with Guishan and Rest in applause.

On the surface, the situation in the whole of Asia is now breezy, and it is nothing more than the death of the Great Han and the replacement of the Great Chu, which is now in a state of repair and peaceful.

Guishan, Anxi, Body Poison and other countries now think like this, and the only one who senses that something is wrong is the Northern Xiongnu, but even they can only vaguely guess two or three points.

The Southwest and Western Regions countries, which have not changed much on the surface, have actually changed their masters silently and secretly, but they are just disguised as they are on the surface.

If Yuan Shu found out this, he was afraid that Guishuang and the body poison would be frightened at that time, and nine times out of ten they would directly help each other, which Yuan Shu did not want to see.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, making the other party relax their vigilance and then thunder is the best policy.

Yuan Shu, who had a great plan, was not in a hurry to start, but allowed the family to wreak havoc in other countries and multiply like a virus.

"Now that there are wars in all countries, it is my Dachu who benefits the most, or more precisely, the family." Jia Xu said.

Jia Xu couldn't be clearer about the methods of these people, and if they played the conspiracy, Gui Shuang rested that the upper echelons were not much better than the two fools in front of them. Through war, the Maison will definitely continue to secretly seek trust, install men, attack the enemy, and quickly expand its control.

"At this ceremony, rest Guishuang and other countries also sent people to congratulate, or don't show too much strength, everything is simple, so as not to cause vigilance and unnecessary trouble." Yuan Shudao.

"But isn't that wrong? The unification of the world is such a great cause, Your Majesty's merit is more than the three emperors and five emperors, and it is not Taishan to seal the Zen, so the ceremony is also simple to operate, it is not very suitable. Zhang Zhao admonished.

"It doesn't matter. What I want is not only the great Chu in front of me, but the whole world. It's not enough to worry about the false name, and when all the places such as Guishan's body poison are included in my Dachu, it's not too late for me to do it again. Yuan Shu said indifferently.

"Your Majesty is so broad-minded, and your ministers are respectful!" Jia Xu and others bowed.
