Yan Gaoqing elaborated on the methods he had thought of so far, and then said: "At present, I only think of these three methods, and I dare not say that they are feasible, but they should be effective." However, the specific implementation depends on the operation and actual changes. Your art of war is about the impermanence of war, and the same is true of administration. ”

Pei Min understood the situation and said with a smile: "This is natural. No policy is perfect at the beginning, most of them are just an idea, and then through practice to find the shortcomings and make up for the change. ”

He paused and said, "Compared with plotting, I hope that Brother Xin can be mainly responsible for this matter." Brother Xin's political achievements in Puchang County, I will report them truthfully. At the time of the crisis in Xizhou, you said that you mobilized the people of Puchang to support Gaochang. In the battle of the Ayding River, Feng Changqing was able to completely annihilate more than 10,000 invading soldiers of Prince Shi, and Brother Xin also had a credit, which was enough for promotion. ”

This person has his own strengths, and Pei Min is also self-aware. His strengths are military strategy, martial arts, and administrative matters. It's okay to be a decision-maker, but if you really want to do it, it's far better than being good at it.

Yan Gaoqing's talent, serving as a small Puchang County Commander, is too condescending.

Yan Gaoqing is also an ambitious person, and he has never been a county magistrate in Puchang all his life, and said: "I have been in government in Puchang for less than two years, and many policies have not been put in place. Replacing the county lieutenant with someone else is afraid that it will contradict my policy and make many things fall short. The situation that has finally stabilized is the same as before. I hope that I will be succeeded by Puchang Chang Shi Taoyou as the county magistrate. Since the independence of government, Tao You has been my right hand and right, and I can continue to develop according to the plan. ”

Pei Min also promised whether he could promote Yan Gaoqing to the ideal high position.

This Pei Min was not completely sure in his heart, he just recommended it to the imperial court.

Whether it succeeds or not, it still needs to be recognized by Li Longji and the hundred officials of the court.

But arranging for Chang Shi Taoyou to take over Yan Gaoqing's position is a matter of one sentence within his power.

Pei Min asked Yan Gaoqing to prepare for the handover, even if he failed to win the best position for his confidant, there was no doubt about his promotion.

No matter what, Yan Gaoqing has been promoted, and he deserves it.

After leaving Puchang County, Pei Min continued to return to his division.

Walking on the uninhabited sand moraine for two thousand miles, Pei Min looked at the barren sand around him, thinking about any way to build a road out of this uninhabited sand moraine.

That is, this uninhabited sand moraine separates the west of the river from the Western Regions.

The ordinary two thousand miles are actually not far away, and the rapid march of the army is three or five days.

If it was like Wei Qing in history, in order to rush the speed, this famous general of the Han Dynasty ran for 800 miles in one night, and the speed was simply terrifying.

At that time, Wei Qing was running on the grassland, and it would be faster if he changed to the official road of Datang.

But the moraine is a sea of sand, which will delay the speed indefinitely.

The speed of the soldiers is actually not unbearable, as long as the soldiers are elite enough and have the experience of walking the sand road, they can overcome difficulties.

This is also the reason why Feng Changqing was able to rush to Xizhou to support in the fastest and shortest time.

But if people can overcome it, how can they overcome it?

A heavy truck weighing three or four hundred pounds, crossing the sand road is really urgent.

If you accidentally slip, the baggage truck will overturn, or you will fall into a sand pit, and all kinds of problems will not be avoided at all.

Originally, the grain and grass of the 100,000-strong army was an astronomical amount, and it required an extremely large number of logistics personnel to transport it.

This huge logistics personnel have to catch up with the army fighting on the front line when they are wearing out when there is no one in the moraine.

This is just a one-time baggage, if there is a stalemate, it will take two or three years.

Not to mention dragging down the Tang Dynasty, it is indispensable to hurt the muscles and bones.

Why is the Emperor Wu Dynasty of the Han Dynasty so brilliant, but the result is that the sea is wasted, the household registration is halved, and the people's livelihood is withered?

Isn't it just a war?

Pei Min walked on this sand moraine and suddenly realized something.

No matter how to govern the Western Regions and how to win over the people's hearts, it is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

The real once and for all is to overcome the two thousand miles of sand moraine, as long as a road out of this sand sea, the 70,000 Liangzhou army can kill Anxi in a short time, and the follow-up material resources are endless, it can support a long-term battle.

Which country in the Western Regions dares to disagree?

Pei Min is the most talkative, marching all the way, and often laughing with the generals around him.

Sometimes, they will tell some jokes and stories that they can't think of, and they will also tell them "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is very much anticipated.

But this time into the sand moraine, Pei Min looked at the sea of sand without saying a word.

Without Pei Min to control the scene, it was inevitable that the road back to the east would be a little deserted.

After walking for a long time, Zhehuchen couldn't help but ask: "What is Pei Shuai thinking, so engrossed?" ”

Pei Min pointed to the endless sand moraine and said, "I'm wondering if I can build a road like Qin Straight Road here, if it can be done." Whether we are supporting the Western Regions with soldiers or transporting supplies to the Western Regions, it will be greatly convenient. In the future, we will use troops in wars, and it will be more convenient than multiplier. ”

As soon as Pei Min said this, all the surrounding generals and schools were dumbfounded.

Fugu Huaien glanced left and right at the moraine, and couldn't help but say, "It's unlikely!" ”

Xia Shan also shook her head violently and said, "Impossible, impossible." Qin Zhidao I have seen it, the mountains and valleys are indeed amazing. But after all, it is within the range of manpower. This sand moraine road is also repaired for 2,000 miles, and no matter how much manpower and material resources are used, it is in vain. ”

Pei Min also knew that he was thinking nonsense, and said with a smile: "I'm just talking......"

He can't even think of a way, in this world and this era, no one has this ability.

But he knew that in the future, not to mention these two thousand miles of sand moraines, even if it was really a mobile desert like the Taklamakan Desert, roads could be built.

It's just that it's in the ultra-distant future, and in this era, there is no such technology.

It's all fantasies!

Pei Min put aside this thought for the time being, and laughed with the generals.

After passing through the sand moraine, he arrived in Shazhou and met with Yumen Pass and Feng Changqing.

Feng Changqing was the first general to return because he wanted to support Wang Zhonghe.

However, by the time he crossed the moraine, Wang Zhongji had already won a great victory, and Tubo had retreated to Qinghai Lake.

Feng Changqing also returned directly to Yumen Pass to rest.

After discussing the situation in the Western Regions with Feng Changqing, Pei Min then marched to Guzang in Liangzhou.

Eight days later, they arrived at Guzang.

has been gone for nearly half a year, and Pei Min is also like an arrow.

Although he has either led troops to fight in recent years, or has been called to Chang'an.

It has long been a habit to be away from home for a long time every once in a while. But every reunion after a long absence is just as exciting.

"Daddy's back......"

"Daddy's back......"

Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba ran over, their steps were extremely fast, jumping and jumping.

They are still young, and they don't suppress their feelings at all, and they show their faces everything.

Pei Min hurriedly greeted him, one in each hand, and hugged the two little guys.

"Eh!"

Pei Min screamed and said happily: "It's heavy again, if you go down again, Daddy, I can only hold one of you." The two of them come together, and it's really unbearable. ”

Xiao Qi is still more naughty than Xiao Ba, and he kissed his father's face affectionately, and said with a crisp smile: "Then, at that time, Daddy hugged Xiao Qi, or Xiao Ba!" ”

Pei Min replied: "Of course it's Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi is the pearl of Daddy's palm." ”

"Hee-hee!" Xiao Qi laughed happily, hugged Pei Min's head, kissed again, and rubbed his face.

Xiao Ba's mouth pouted involuntarily.

Pei Min would not favor one over the other and treat his eldest son badly, and said in Xiao Ba's ear: "In a few years, Xiao Ba will be a little man." A manly man, if you don't learn literature and help the world, or you don't practice martial arts, protect the people and protect the country, how can there be a reason to ask your father to hug you again. ”

The child is just a fool, Xiaoba nodded seriously and said: "Xiaoba wants to become a more powerful husband like a father, and don't hug my sister!" ”

Pei Min also kissed Xiaoba's face, and walked to the inner hall with the two little guys in his arms.

Pei Min went directly to Pei's mother's residence and asked her old man for peace.

This is also the norm.

Not to mention that filial piety is greater than the sky in ancient times, as far as Pei Min is concerned, Pei's mother is also his most beloved elder.

And according to the usual practice, Jiao Chen at this time will also be at Pei's mother's place, waiting to meet.

As for Gongsun You, Pei Min believes that she is the same.

Holding Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba into the courtyard, sure enough, Pei's mother led Jiao Chen and Gongsun You to wait for a long time.

As for Gongsun Xi, Pei Min is nowhere to be seen, and he doesn't know where she went.

That girl has a wild temperament, she can't sit still at all, and after half a year, it is estimated that her injury is almost healed, and it is not necessary to return to Chang'an.

Pei Min put down Xiaoqi Xiaoba and walked quickly to the nearest place to greet Pei's mother.

Pei's mother saw that her son's face was quite weathered, she was relieved and distressed, so she hurriedly helped him up and said, "I haven't eaten well for half a year?" Still haven't slept well? All thin. ”

Pei Min went to rescue Anxi, it was winter, the snow was all over the sky, the cold wind was biting, the diet in the army was poor, and it was difficult to eat all kinds of vegetables in the Central Plains in the Western Regions.

But at this moment he smiled and said, "How can it! The kings of the Western Regions don't know how many children they have, and they are tired of eating mutton and beef, and they all feel fat when they wear warm padded jackets. The frightened child practiced his sword day and night, and then he died. ”

Pei's mother didn't know if it was true or not, but when she saw that the child was as always, she was also safe in her heart, and looked at it with satisfaction.

Pei Min also said hello to Jiao Chen and Gongsun You.

He and Jiao Chen are old husbands and wives, and they don't say much about the same heart, and they ask about Gongsun You's injuries with concern.

Gongsun You was as gentle as ever, showing off his wisdom, and said softly: "It's almost good, the Miao doctor of the old pear plus Sun Gongzi's acupuncture and moxibustion complement each other, and the effect is excellent." Just yesterday, Mr. Li also said that as long as it takes more than ten days, the medicine can be stopped. ”

Pei Min was relieved and said, "That's good, that's good!" What about Miss Xi, how is her injury, this is not a figure of others, it won't be back to Chang'an, right? ”

Gongsun You's face was helpless, and he said: "Her injury is relatively light, and she has stopped taking medicine half a month ago." After all, Gu Zang is no better than Chang'an, she can't bear to go back. ”

"Just know!" Pei Min complained, although Liangzhou is a lot of fierce men, and Guzang also has a lot of martial arts people, there is always a certain gap with Chang'an, the capital of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

This is also an undeniable fact.

At this time, Pei's mother interjected, "It's time to summon Xiaoxi back, your marriage has been delayed for more than half a year because of injuries and wars, and it can't be delayed any longer." Who knows if it drags on any longer, and there will be some irresistible surprises? ”

Pei Min listened to this, his body and mind were comfortable, and he was really a good mother, looking at Gongsun You with some expectations.

Gongsun You asked Pei Mu to talk about this under the "public", and there was a buzz in his mind, only to feel that his face was hot, and two pieces of pink flew on his pretty face.

Seeing that Pei's mother and Pei Min were looking at him, Gongsun You took a deep breath and said loudly, crisply, and directly: "Okay, listen to Aunt Pei's arrangement." ”

Pei Min grinned, and his mood was even happier than having won a big battle.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba were obviously unwilling to steal the limelight, and began to revolve around Gongsun You with a smile, and directly changed their words, "Aunt You, Aunt You......" happily.

Jiao Chen also said: "Then I will also call my sister!" ”

Gongsun Youjian saw that the family had no problem with him, and he was also happy and safe in his heart.

Pei Min talked to Pei's mother, Sun You, and Jiao Chen, and discussed some details of the wedding.

Seeing that it was still early, Pei Min returned to the front yard of the Jiedu envoy to meet with the secretary Wang Wei.

Wang Wei is as careful and serious as ever, and in the months since he left, he still recorded in detail the big and small things that happened in Hexi and Longyou, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a big or small matter.

Wang Wei put a letter in front of Pei Min and said: "This is a letter from Your Majesty to Pei Shuai, everything can be read in detail in the future, and Your Majesty's letter may not have anything important." ”

Pei Min didn't dare to slack off, opened the ink, and at the beginning of the letter, there was a burst of praise, saying that he fought beautifully in Anxi.

Continuing to read, Li Longji also asked him about the situation in Anxi in the letter, but compared with the tactfulness of asking Wang Zhonghe, Pei Min was much more straightforward, bluntly saying that the attitude of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military towards the Western Regions was uncertain, one opinion a day, and he was extremely cautious about the military alliance between Arabia and Tibet, but he could not make a decision after many days of discussion.

In the end, Li Longji also asked him for an opinion, saying that the situation in Anxi is so complicated, who can hold the position of deputy governor of Anxi?

Do you need to let Du Xian regain his love.

"Revenge of affection" is a way to deal with Ding's worries and guards.

When his parents died of illness, officials who did not worry about the system were not filial, but many officials were too important for the court to do without him, and the emperor had the power to exempt officials from the obligation of keeping filial piety for three years.

Under the resumption of affection, officials do not need to keep filial piety.

Pei Min asked Wang Wei to polish his ink, muttered for a while, and wrote a letter back to Li Longji.

In the same way, the letter does not begin with a discussion of business, but a pat on the back.

Pei Min has been an official for many years, and he is also very handy with his knowledge of sycophancy.

Anxi did not suffer a serious military disaster in this battle, of course, because of Pei Min's art-like level of troop transfer, but also because of Li Longji's decision-making.

At that time, it was just the beginning of the Anxi war, and there was no result at all and there was no fighting, and it was Pei Min who concluded that Fu Meng Lingcha would make a mistake due to selfishness.

If Li Longji didn't believe Pei Min's judgment and had to wait until the defeat of Anxi was conveyed before sending troops to support, the daylily would be cold.

Therefore, Pei Min is a big book and a special book, and he touted Li Longji to the sky.
