This time Xu Shu and others came in vain, in addition to Li Dao, who himself has the position of General Anxi, Yang Xiu got the position of Wuji Captain, and Xu Shu and Zhuge Jin also hung a position of six-grade long history. Based on their achievements in Xiliang during this time, although they are young, they should be promoted to this position.

"We are here this time as the captain of Wuji to rebuild the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions, so as to secretly control the countries of the Western Regions, but our focus is not on the countries of the Western Regions, but on the Guishan, Kangju and the Northern Xiongnu." Yang Xiu said lazily.

"Dezu, what is the situation in the countries of the Western Regions?" During Xu Shu's time in Xiliang, he had been busy suppressing the Qiang people with Li Dao and others, and he didn't have time to pay attention to other matters at all. This time he came to the Western Regions only because he was quietly thinking about it, and he came here with a little understanding of the situation in the Western Regions, but he didn't know much about the specific situation in the Western Regions.

"O countries of the Western Regions!" Yang Xiu muttered in his mouth, his tone full of disdain and sarcasm: "The countries of the Western Regions are just small tribes controlled by some wastes who are greedy for pleasure and have no ambitions, and they are not worth mentioning at all. ”

"Dezu, I know that you are arrogant and look down on these barbarians, but you don't need to say that, it is also a country that has existed for hundreds of years." Xu Shu couldn't help but say.

"Although what Dezu said is a bit biased, it is generally good." Zhuge Jin, who has always been humble, couldn't help but say: "The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions have survived so far, not by their own strength. ”

"Are you saying that bad in the Western Regions?" Xu Shu couldn't help asking.

"Yuan Zhi, do you know why the Great Han Dynasty set up the Western Regions Protectorate?" Yang Xiuhu's way.

"In order to ensure the smooth trade routes of the Western Regions, ease the relations between the countries of the Western Regions, and stabilize the Western Regions." Xu Shu said naturally.

"That's true, but the real reason is to help this group of wastes in the Western Regions suppress the situation and prevent riots under their command and affect the stability of the Western Regions." Yang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "The kings of these countries in the Western Regions are not ordinary waste!" ”

At the beginning, how majestic was Ban Chao in the Western Regions? However, it also shows the weakness of the Western Regions.

At that time, the Western Regions were turbulent, and after Ban Chao made merits and proposed to use razing to defeat raze, what did Emperor Zhang do? Sending a thousand soldiers to aid is over, and the Western Regions is not paid attention to at all.

This can't be blamed on Emperor Han, it's really that the countries of the Western Regions themselves are too uncompetitive. The successive kings of these countries were all unambitious, that is, they could only develop by being close to the Han Dynasty and located on the Silk Road. It is not so much the state as the head of the businessman. It is really despicable that the lord of a country does not do his job, only knows arrogance and lasciviousness every day, and the dignified kingdom secretly cultivates horse thieves and robs the trade road.

At the beginning of the Hanhu War, the countries of the Western Regions trembled like quails at all, and did not dare to resist at all. In the face of the threat of the Hu people, he asked the Han many times to take him in, and even did not hesitate to send the prince as a hostage, but the Han ignored this group of useless weak chickens.

The countries of the Western Regions are not only a matter of weak national strength, but the whole country is extremely weak, without the slightest sense of war, and has been oppressed all the year round, and has become accustomed to being obedient.

The Han Dynasty never worried that the Western Regions countries were too strong and rebelled, but that they were too weak, and there was constant civil strife, which affected stability.

"There are now more than 40 large and small countries in the Western Regions, with a population of only 80,000 or 90,000 in large countries and 120,000 in small countries. The total number of soldiers in battle is only 100,000, and the morale of the fighting force is even worse than that of the new army in the country. Therefore, don't look at the fact that we only brought 3,000 Flying Bear Army, if we really do it, the countries of the Western Regions together will not be able to defeat us. Yang Xiu said disdainfully.

"And here we are?"

Yang Xiu sighed slightly: "The countries of the Western Regions are indeed weak, but they are also short-sighted and do not know how to advance or retreat. Because the Western Regions are far away, the land is poor, and there are Qiang people to obstruct it, as long as the Silk Road does not have too many problems, the Han Dynasty is too lazy to care, so we families will pay attention to it. Now that there has been no contact with it for decades, it's time to knock and knock. The main purpose of our trip is to deter and facilitate the infiltration of the family. ”

"Then can you fight two battles with the Northern Huns by the way?" Xu Shu asked.

After learning about the situation in the Western Regions, Xu Shu decisively gave up the idea of dealing with this group of weak chickens. He has been bullying the Qiang people for so long, and he has long had no pleasure in beating the weak, and only a strong man like the Northern Xiongnu can raise his interest.

"Whatever you want. If the situation is good, there is no problem in fighting twice, but you should pay attention to restraint and don't behave too much, so as not to arouse the jealousy of Guishan and the Northern Xiongnu. Yang Xiu glanced at Xu Shu and said. According to the character of this guy, even if he didn't agree, he probably would take a small group of cavalry to walk around, so it was better to directly follow his wishes.

......

The former car division country, the royal capital Gaochang city. A large army lined up in front of the city, and the general of the former Che Shiguo was at the forefront, holding the knife in his hand, looking at the scorching sun overhead, and the anger in his eyes could not be suppressed.

"Didn't the Han envoy say that the time is coming today? Why not? ”

Seeing that the other party was angry, the Xiliang Army scout on the side did not have the slightest fear on his face, and said in an indifferent tone: "It may be that there is a situation on the road and it has been delayed for a while, please forgive the general and wait for a while." ”

"You..."

Before the general of the former division finished speaking, he suddenly felt a slight tremor on the earth, and a black "dark cloud" appeared on the horizon in the distance, surging quickly.

The Xiliang Army, which was galloping wildly, still maintained a neat formation, rushing towards Gaochang City in a conical formation. The neat array, the low and rhythmic sound of horses' hooves, and the black armor that faintly flashed in the sunlight all attracted the attention of the soldiers of the former chariot division like fireflies in the night.

Although there are only 3,000 soldiers, the momentum of the Flying Bear Army is no worse than that of more than 10,000 iron cavalry charges, and the indomitable momentum is not at all something that ordinary soldiers can withstand, let alone face this group of weak soldiers in the Western Regions.

In the disdainful gaze of the scouts of the Xiliang Army, the former Che Shiguo general, who was originally angry and arrogant, saw the Flying Bear Army that was about to rush in front of him, and his face turned white. Those trembling legs, if they hadn't known that what was in front of them was not the enemy, and thought that they were taking on the duty of welcoming the mission, they would probably have fled a long time ago.

Many of the soldiers behind him were already so frightened that they sat on the ground, and some slipped back to the city.

And that's a soldier?

Looking at the chaotic Che Shi national soldiers, the scout of the Xiliang Army said disdainfully.
