Chapter 31 Tian Feng and Jia Xu Qi offered advice to collect troops and Shanshan

After arranging everyone's positions, everyone dispersed, and Liu Bei returned to the residence arranged by Huaxiong. Because it was too late or the next day, Jia Xu and Tian Feng came back to him to discuss the affairs of the Western Regions.

Liu Bei was tired of Cai Yan for a while, and talked for a while, during this time, although Cai Yan had been following the caravan to the Western Regions, but due to many inconveniences on the road, Liu Bei did not have much time to accompany Cai Yan, Cai Yan is also worthy of being a famous talent in ancient times, and she is very supportive of Liu Bei's work. However, at dinner time, as soon as Cai Yan arranged for the maids to arrange dinner, Tian Feng and Jia Xu came to visit together.

Seeing Jia Xu and Tian Feng coming, Liu Bei was overjoyed, so he received the two in the conference hall, Liu Bei did not let the two salute, and hurriedly grabbed the hands of the two and walked to the conference hall.

"Yuan Hao, Jia Xu, I've been waiting for you for a long time, to be honest, I probably have some eyebrows about taking the Western Regions, but I don't think as comprehensively as the two military advisors, come, teach me quickly." Liu Bei's appearance as a corporal of Lixian made Jia Xu and Tian Feng very useful!

"The lord is serious, Feng has a more detailed plan to take the Western Regions, first of all, the three countries of Shanshan, Pu and Shanguo around Yumen Pass under the rule of the Han Dynasty, they have about 8,000 soldiers and horses, we can receive the military power of these three kingdoms into our hands, plus the four armies of Longxiang, Baotao, Baizhan and Yulin, we have more than 10,000 people, and then we will send troops to the end of the army, the former car division, the rear car division and the Mi, so that we can get another 4,000 soldiers and horses, and in this way we will subdue Shanshan, Pu, Shanguo, and the end, The former chariot division, the rear chariot division, and the seven kingdoms of the chariote. After that, along the northern route of the Silk Road, we subdued Yanqi, Qiuci, Gumo and other countries one by one, and conquered these countries depending on the situation. Tian Feng informed Liu Bei of his thoughts one by one, and at the same time, he also listed how each country would attack one by one. These strategies greatly increased Liu Bei's confidence, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look at Jia Xu.

"My lord, the general strategy of the small countries in the Western Regions is not much different from Brother Yuan Hao, but it is just that the military strategy of specific countries needs to be analyzed on the spot at that time, but the general policy is close to Brother Yuan Hao, but it is added that the small countries in the Western Regions are not a problem, the problem is in Wusun, Dawan, Northern Xiongnu, Kangju, Guishan and other countries. These five countries are large countries in the Western Regions, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in Dawan, who have a small population, and there are millions of people such as Guishan. When you choose which ones to attack, make friends with them. And think that Qiuci is swaying between the Han and the Xiongnu, if we attack Qiuci, Wusun and the Northern Xiongnu will not give up, Gu needs to guard Qiuci after we take Qiuci, and the Xiongnu and my Han are feuds, Gu can not be friendly with it, it is to think that we should first make friends with Dawan and Guishan, Kangju does not border with my Western Regions, Gu and temporarily worry-free, befriend Guishan and Dawan, the lord needs to send messengers. For Wusun and the Northern Xiongnu, we should actively do a good job in the defense of the war, and at the same time suggest that the lord should send troops to the southern front, that is, Jimo, Jingjue, Humi, and Khotan, and then make a detour to the northern line, and after taking Yanqi, he will join Qiuci, and quickly take Qiuci as a bridgehead to attack or fight against Wusun and the Northern Xiongnu! Jia Xu said slowly.

"Lord, you need to govern the small cities that have been taken, there is no doubt that the army cannot be left to those kings to lead, the command of the army must remain in the hands of the lord, but each city can leave a part of the garrison, and the lord's people are needed to serve as the commander of the garrison. At the same time, from Huiji County and Yizhou County, suitable civil officials were selected to serve in the Western Regions to help the lord control the countries of the Western Regions. Tian Feng added on the side, "Also, my lord, the monthly reports of Liaodong County, Huiji County and Yizhou for April have been received today, and I would like to ask my lord to take a look!" After Liu Bei took Yizhou, he stipulated that Yizhou, Huiji and Liaodong needed to arrange monthly reports to be submitted to the Western Regions for Liu Bei's review every month.

"Okay, there are two military advisors planning for me, so I can sit back and relax. Tomorrow I will raise the account. "By the way, I took over the monthly reports of Yizhou, Liaodong and Huiji in Tian Feng's hands!

After Jia Xu and Tian Feng left, Liu Bei took out the monthly reports of the three counties of Yizhou, Liaodong and Huiji County, and after reading it, Liu Bei knew some large and small affairs of the three counties in April: Yizhou County, the county seat of Yizhong County is about to be completed after nearly four months of construction, the main facilities in the city have been built, the city wall is about to be completed, and some commercial facilities in the city are now being built. At the same time, the people who migrated with the fleet have been settled, basically settled in Yizhong County, and all of them have been allocated to the fields according to the head, and the original local aboriginal tribes began to move closer to the county seat, forming several villages around the county seat. The entire Yizhong County has begun to govern normally. The construction of the Yizhou South Water Division camp and the 10,000 mu salt field has been completed, Jian Yong is already recruiting workers from the local residents of Yizhou to work in the salt field, and Su Fei has already taken the water division to the next location to establish a port and salt pans. Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and Xi Zhong respectively led a thousand soldiers and a part of the civil officials (trained from the orphans themselves) began to recruit natives to establish the county seat in the three county towns around Yizhong County, and the county town planning map has been drawn uniformly, and the county seat is a stone wall with a side length of five kilometers! Jian Yong and Xi Zhong's plan was to start from Yizhong County and advance step by step to the periphery. The mountain people on the eastern mountain range have not descended the mountain so far, but they have not shown hostility, so Xi Zhong decided not to use force against the mountain people for the time being. At the same time as the construction of the city, 50,000 acres of land were reclaimed, and rice was not planted in mid-January. Due to the tight schedule, no iron ore and other mineral resources have been found in Yizhou yet! Huiji County, as always, takes in the refugees, but at present, there are not many victims and refugees in Chengping, Jiangnan, so the results are not obvious, but Yan Yan's training in Huiji County is quite effective, sweeping several Shanyue tribes, and obtaining 10,000 pairs of Shanyue people, ready to be sent to Yizhou together next month. The fleet of sailors left behind in Huiji County had been led by Song Zhe, the commander of the sailors, and went to Liaodong County along the map left by Liu Bei. And Liaodong County, after nearly half a year of trade, has obtained more than 1,000 war horses, including a hundred stallions and mares among the excellent horses, Song Zhe is to go to Liaodong County to transport war horses, at the same time Xun You found an iron ore vein in Liaodong, but is not sure whether it can occupy Liaodong for a long time, so it is only marked on the map, and does not start mining, Zhou Cang just led troops to guard the pass. Basically, everything is going well in the three counties, and Liu Bei is quite happy after seeing it.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei raised his account to discuss the matter, and after arranging all the matters, Liu Bei led the troops to set off all the way from Dunhuang. At the same time, caravans will be arranged to trade goods in the areas controlled by the Han Dynasty, that is, Puzi, Shanguo, and Shanshan, and then they will follow the army all the way to the west to promote trade, and at the same time, the army will clean up the surrounding environment of the Silk Road to ensure the normal operation of commerce. Liu Bei also arranged envoys to Dawan and Guishan, the main purpose of which was to express the goodwill of the Han to Dawan and Guishan, and was willing to maintain friendship all the time, and at the same time was willing to carry out commercial and trade exchanges with the two countries. In addition to the envoy, Liu Bei also sent a team of people to Qiuci and Gumo, and expressed to Qiuci and Gumo that Liu Bei was a relative of the Han family, and he came to the Western Regions just to obtain some qualifications, and he would return to the center of the court after two or three years. Of course, the Han will not be afraid of war, let alone compromise. This move was suggested by Tian Feng, and it is no secret that the Han Dynasty has the capital of the Western Regions, so Tian Feng's suggestion is to hope to further paralyze the two countries of Qiuci and Gumo, so as to paralyze Wusun and the Xiongnu, and the southern front needs to be fast!

After the discussion, the accusations were completed, Liu Bei led two thousand cavalry from Yumen Pass, all the way to Pu, only half a day to arrive at Pu country, although Pu at this time is a country, but the lack of a long time is no longer like a country, Pu has been a small city within a radius of three miles, and there is no king, there are Han officials set up here, and the officials are also selected from the local people to have some ability, respected people to serve, and must be pro-Han people. After Liu Bei arrived in Pu, he was invited into the city by the officials of the Han Dynasty, and after some negotiations, Liu Bei led away a thousand cavalry from the Pu country, but Liu Bei did not continue to move forward in the northwest direction, because he wanted to stay in the small country in the northwest direction to continue to confuse the Northern Xiongnu!

After starting from Pu, Liu Bei led the army all the way south, going to the mountain country and the mountain country to be close to the situation of Pu, in fact, Liu Bei could directly send an order to transfer troops from the two cities of Pu and Shanguo, but Liu Bei was not annoyed and specially transferred the soldiers from the two countries, mainly to inspect the officials of the two places, the specific population and other details, and at the same time, Liu Bei of the Western Regions countries will still walk over one by one! Soon, two thousand soldiers were pulled out from the mountain country, and Liu Bei waved his army to Shanshan, at this time Liu Bei had 5,000 soldiers, including 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers. At the same time, caravans began to trade in these three places!
