Since the expansion of the army arranged Huaxiong's position, Liu Bei informed everyone that Yumen Pass and Yangguan had been divided under the rule of the Western Regions, and then everyone applauded.

Later, Liu Bei appointed Wen Ping as the guard general of Yumen Pass, Wei Xu as the guard general of Yangguan, and Lin Min, the former guard general of Yangguan, became Wei Xu's deputy, after all, Lin Min had a good relationship with Zhao Shi.

After arranging important military and political affairs, Liu Bei dismissed everyone, but Zhang Zhao and Jia Xu stayed alone, and Zhang Zhao told Liu Bei all the revenues and expenditures of the entire Western Regions in the past two years.

At the same time, Jia Xu stated to Liu Bei the military expenses, grain and grass and other accounts of the nine armies in the Western Regions one by one, although Liu Bei believed the two, but these necessary work must be reviewed, otherwise there will be various problems after a long time!

In addition, Jia Xu also explained to Liu Bei some information about potato planting, when Liu Bei left the Western Regions, in order to facilitate the planting and management of potatoes, he was divided into a separate division and handed over to Jia Xu at this time, and potatoes were only supplied to the army.

After Jia Xu's introduction, 300,000 acres of potatoes are now planted, and after other meat, vegetables and wheat, they are directly supplied to the troops in various garrisons.

And due to the injection of potatoes, the entire Western Regions grain inventory has more than three million stones, as long as you wait a few years, the grain reserves of the Western Regions alone are enough to start a great war!

Hearing so much good news, Liu Bei was excited, but what made Liu Bei most excited was that the scouts who Liu Bei had previously gone out and went south from Jingjue County had returned from the Xiqiang (Tibet) region.

The information of the scouts shows that the terrain in the Xiqiang region is very high, and when I first arrived in Xiqiang, I had a serious illness due to lack of oxygen, and I was lucky enough to be taken in by well-wishers, and it took half a year to recover, and then I spent another two years exploring the Xiqiang area.

At this time, the Xiqiang were still based on various tribes, but in the eastern and northern parts of the Xiqiang, they were all human races similar in appearance to the Qiang, while the southern and western parts of the Xiqiang were dark-skinned and slightly high-nosed black-headed tribes, but they were all based on tribes.

There are dozens of tribes in the entire Xiqiang, large and small, the big tribe has 670,000 people, and the small tribe has only 35,000 people, but all tribes can go on horses and fight! Xiqiang's horses are short, and although they are not fast, they are heavy camels.

Similarly, Liu Bei also knew that the road from Jingjue County to Xiqiang was too narrow for a cavalry to pass through, and the continent was long and narrow, with mountains and water, which was very unsuitable for a large army. However, it is quite convenient to walk from Liangzhou!

Liu Bei was overjoyed to get this news, although he had no idea of conquering Xiqiang now, but it did not affect Liu Bei to send a large army to Xiqiang in batches to adapt to the plateau climate!

Despite this, Liu Bei did not make direct arrangements, but simply replied that he knew, and at the same time left the scout's hand-drawn map, and sent Zhang Zhao and Jia Xu back.

After sending Jia Xu and Zhang Zhao away, Liu Bei ushered in another person.

"Lord, Arthur of the Outer Guard Battalion knocks on the Lord." The person who came was Arthur, the deputy of Robert of the Outer Guard Battalion, and Arthur had been waiting for Liu Bei in Gumo City for several days!

"No need to be polite, what did Robert tell you about sending you back?" Liu Bei said lightly, when the Outer Guard Battalion was established, Liu Bei had determined the rules, and the Outer Guard Battalion could only tell himself anything!

So over the years, once Robert had something, he would send someone to report it directly to Liu Bei.

"Lord, my lord asked me to come back and tell my lord, at present, many ministers in the court of the Kushan Empire have suggested to the Guishan Emperor to send troops to the Western Regions, which is also the reason why scouts frequently appear at the junction of the Western Regions and the Kushan Empire!"

"Oh, so does Robert know if the Kushan Empire will actually send troops?" Liu Bei said worriedly.

At this time, Liu Bei really didn't want to start a war with the Kushan Empire, and Liu Bei at this time just wanted to recuperate and prepare for the hegemony of the Central Plains! However, even if the Kushan Empire really wants to go to war, Liu Bei is not afraid, as long as he hurts the Kushan Empire, he will naturally be able to calm things down!

"Lord, it's still uncertain, a hundred years ago, the Great Han Banchao defeated the 70,000 elites of the Great Moon Clan with only a thousand Han troops and a part of the Western Regions, and some courtiers are still quite jealous of the Great Han!"

"In that case, you go back and tell Robert that I don't want to fight with the Kushan Empire at this time, let him find a way to stabilize the Emperor of the Kushan Empire, and when the time comes, I will personally lead the army to destroy the Guishan!" Liu Bei said fiercely.

"Also, multi-mobile information on Guishan, so that he can lead the army to pacify Guishan!"

In fact, on the day the Outer Guard Battalion was established, Robert explained his hatred to Liu Bei, Robert was originally a member of the Dayue Clan.

It's just that about two hundred years ago, the Guishan of the five Marquis of the Great Moon Clan gradually became stronger, and the Marquis of Guishan (there is a historical record that he was not a member of the Great Moon Clan), overthrew the King of the Great Moon Clan, and established the Kushan Empire.

The original royal family of the Dayue clan was hunted down and killed by Qiu Zhi, but only Robert was left, so Robert's request was that if Liu Bei had the right opportunity and enough strength, he would help Robert destroy the Kushan Empire.

And the destruction of the Kushan Empire was the same as Liu Bei's original intention, so Liu Bei also agreed!

After dealing with the affairs of the Kushan Empire, Liu Bei ended the discussion for half a day, and then dragged his tired body to the back house!

"Husband, you're finally back, the concubine really misses you so much." At this time, Cai Yan was already waiting in the house.

"It's finally over, and I miss you for my husband in the past two years, but the war is urgent, and my husband can't return as soon as possible, so I ask my wife to forgive me!" Liu Bei confessed.

In the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, the status of women is quite low, even if they are wives, they do not have too high status, otherwise how could the original Liu Bei often abandon his wife and concubines, and leave behind the eternal saying that women are like clothes and brothers are like siblings!

However, Liu Bei has sincere respect for his woman, so he will confess to Cai Yan!

"Husband, you won't leave for the time being when you come back this time, right?" Cai Yan asked worriedly!

"It can't be too long, I've been away from the Western Regions for two years, so I still have to patrol the Western Regions this time." Liu Bei said helplessly.

"Ah, I still have to go out, hey, look at me and you, we are all getting together less and leaving more!" Cai Yan said coquettishly!

"Hey, okay, this time I will visit the counties and counties, and my wife will accompany me to go with me, and as for Feng'er, she will let her continue to study with Jia Xu and others at home!" Liu Bei thought about it and said quite fondly!

"Really? Husband, is this true? Cai Yan said happily.

"Of course, when did the husband lie to you?" Liu Bei said slowly.

"Hey, forget it, the concubine is really relieved to be Feng'er, so let's wait for my husband at home!" After the excitement, Cai Yan calmed down, and then said helplessly.

As a mother, Cai Yan still cares about Liu Feng very much, so she will refuse Liu Bei's proposal!

"In this way, just bring the seal, anyway, I don't plan to pay a private visit to Weifu this time!" Liu Bei thought about it again, and then spoke.

"That's great. Husband, let's go, the meal is ready! Cai Yan took Liu Bei's arm, and then walked towards the dining room!

After dinner, Liu Bei took a mandarin duck bath with Cai Yan, of course, he did not bathe without committing any crimes, and naturally during the bathing (3,000 words are omitted here).

After bathing, Liu Bei was not satisfied, and once again returned to the bed with Cai Yan, who was not in a wisp, and this night was destined to be full of spring.

Early the next morning.

"Husband, in the past two years, I have printed a thousand copies of all the books I can collect, but I have not yet distributed them to various counties, and the concubine body considers that if all counties and counties need these books, it is impossible to rely on the concubine body and those fifty personal guards!"

Cai Yan lay on the bed and said to Liu Bei quite satisfied!

"I'm also thinking about this, it's time to build a printing shop and hire some special craftsmen to print this piece, otherwise it won't be able to catch up with the annual demand."

After that, Cai Yan waited for Liu Bei to dress.
