Liu Bei was still very happy to gain the loyalty of Huaxiong, a fierce general, so the group entered the garrison mansion. After entering the garrison mansion, Hua Xiong took the initiative to give up his seat to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei and Hua Xiong chatted casually, and then mentioned the matter of tomorrow's caravan, Liu Bei told Hua Xiong that the caravan that arrived tomorrow was his own caravan, and asked Hua Xiong to release the caravan tomorrow and stay in the audience for a while. Hua Xiong also agreed one by one.

In the evening, Huaxiong set up a banquet at Yumen Pass to entertain Liu Bei and the three, and after the banquet, Liu Bei and Huaxiong fell asleep. To be honest, for a soul two years later, Liu Bei doesn't like to sleep with a group of big men, it's just that people in this era like this, and doing so can enhance the loyalty of people in this era, not to mention that Liu Bei in history is like this to entrap Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two fierce generals, so the current Liu Bei often does this, but the effect is obvious.

At noon the next day, the caravan of more than 4,000 people in the east of Yumen Pass slowly entered Yumen Pass, because Liu Bei had already subdued Hua Xiong, so the procedures for leaving the customs were very smooth, and Hua Xiong had already arranged a large open space in Yumen Pass for this caravan to be stationed! And Liu Bei led a group of people to enter the Yumen Pass Guard's Mansion here, and introduced Hua Xiong to everyone, and also introduced a group of military generals and strategists to Liu Bei.

After everyone got to know each other, Liu Bei called Xu Hao, the leader of the school camp who came to find Liu Bei yesterday and sent him to the Western Regions.

"My lord, we were ordered to go to the countries of the Western Regions outside the Yumen Pass to investigate the situation of various countries, and now we have basically grasped the information of the countries of the Western Regions." Xu Hao has come and bowed to the ground, Liu Bei's existing soldiers are all orphans adopted over the years, Liu Bei lives his life, helps marry a wife, raises his son, etc., these people have long been dead to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei has also continued to train these people over the years to read, write, war, martial arts, etc., although these people can not be as proficient in strategy as Jia Xu and them, but there are also some people who are suitable to become a county magistrate, although they can't think of Lu Bu and others to become first-class generals, but most people's martial arts are not a big problem to be a small captain.

"Oh, you're doing a good job, you've worked hard. It's time for Yuan Hao to receive the reward, but now, you can talk about the answers of the countries in the Western Regions, so that we can have a general policy! Liu Bei was slightly happy in his heart, but said with no different color.

"Yes, my lord, the countries of the Western Regions have been annexed by more than 30 countries of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty through wars and other means, and now there are a total of 21 countries, among which the five kingdoms of Shule, Qiuzi, Khotan, Yanqi and Shanshan are the larger. Most of the rest of the countries are dependent on these five countries, and there are two or three countries that are attached to Wusun and Dawan respectively, and Wusun has diplomatic relations with the Xiongnu. ”

Xu Hao said the information collected by everyone first, but he didn't pause.

"There are Wusun in the north of the Western Regions, and the Kunlun Mountains in the south of the Xiongnu, according to the locals, there are roads leading to the Kunlun Mountains, and there are many ethnic groups living in the south of the Kunlun Mountains! In the northwest of the Western Regions, Dawan and Kangju are located; The western part of the Western Regions is a larger country! ”

"Yes, what about the attitude of the countries of the Western Regions towards our Han Dynasty, as well as the population of each country and the number of victorious soldiers?" Jia Xu on the side heard Xu Hao's introduction and asked the questions he cared about!

"Khotan has 60,000 households, a population of about 150,000, three cities under the direct jurisdiction, 20,000 victorious soldiers, and trade and friendship with our Han Dynasty, but it has not been a tributary for many years;

Yanqi has about 40,000 households, a population of about 100,000 people, directly under the jurisdiction of three cities, 15,000 victorious soldiers, Yanqi is closer to Dunhuang, although it has been several years not called a tribute, but the attitude towards my Han is much better than Khotan;

Shule has 50,000 households, a population of 120,000, directly under the jurisdiction of four cities, about 20,000 victorious soldiers, and no longer supports the ministers and tribute, and is friendly with Dawan;

Qiuzi has 70,000 people, a population of nearly 200,000, 30,000 victorious soldiers, five cities under its jurisdiction, and nearly 100 sides have repeatedly fallen to the Xiongnu, and they are somewhat hostile to the Han, but they do not really rebel!

Shanshan has 40,000 people, about 110,000 people, 10,000 victorious soldiers, under the jurisdiction of three cities, and pays tribute every year, because it is close to Dunhuang and the Han Dynasty, so the number of victorious soldiers is not much.

The rest of the countries have a population of 40,000 or 50,000, the small one is less than 10,000 people, and the number of victorious soldiers is only a few thousand, and the attitude of these countries towards the Han Dynasty lies in the attitude of the previous five major countries, among which Gumo is attached to Qiuzi, and the former and rear chariot divisions are all split from the Pu class, and the last country is small but far from the big country, and there is only one city, and the population is not more than 10,000, and the number of victorious soldiers is only more than 1,000.

Pishan and Humi are attached to Khotan, and Shache and Wensu are attached to Shule. There are about one million people in the entire Western Regions. In addition, Dawan has more than 70 cities, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and during the reign of Emperor Guangwu, the Dawan layer once surrendered to Shache (during the period when Shache Wang Xian was the protector of the Western Regions), and is no longer subject to the Han Dynasty; Wusun has a population of more than 500,000. Xu Hao reported here.

At this point, the general situation of the countries in the Western Regions, and the attitude towards the Han Liu Bei and others have been clear, so everyone sat down to discuss how to deal with the entire Western Regions, aiming at the overall nearly one million soldiers and civilians in the Western Regions, Liu Bei's 2,000 people are not enough to see, in history, 36 people from Ban Chao went to the Western Regions to envoy the Western Regions that was when the Han Dynasty was strong, and now although the Han is still the big Han, but after all, it has begun to weaken, Xianbei has been detained every year, and domestic rebellion continues. Liu Bei's face was full of deep worry!

Jia Xu asked thoughtfully: "Captain Xu, west of Dunhuang, what other countries are still under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and what is the number of people and troops?" ”

"As far as we have learned, there are only three kingdoms of Shanguo, Shanshan and Pu under the rule of the Han Dynasty, the population of the mountain country is more than 10,000, and the number of victorious soldiers is 1,000, and the number of Pu is similar to that of the mountain country, and the number of Shanshan victorious soldiers is about 5,000! Secondly, the surrounding area is the front car division, the rear car division, the danger in the north and the end of the south, these two countries are also small countries with about 1,000 soldiers!

At the same time, according to our investigation, there are many sand bandits in the desert in the central part of the Western Regions, bandits, due to the rush of time, we have not been able to find out all the sand bandits, but we know that the number of the two sand bandits near Dunhuang is about several hundred, and they are all cavalry. It is said that there are still thousands of sand bandits in the inner oasis of the desert! Xu Hao said while annoying that he didn't tell all the information just now, and at the same time tried his best to tell all the information he knew.

Hearing this, Jia Xu immediately stretched his brows, and immediately had an idea, and then got up and bowed to Liu Bei and said: "My lord, I have an idea of how to regain the Western Regions, and I will submit it to my lord after it is sorted out!" ”

At the same time, Tian Feng also stood up from his position and said to Liu Bei: "My lord, Yuan Hao has something to gain." ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Bei was also slightly stunned, thinking to himself, the top strategists are different, he still borrowed his familiarity with history and dug up such a large number of military generals and strategists, otherwise he could really only be like Liu Bei in history, with real ideals, but no soil to realize ideals.

Although as a modern person, Liu Bei has certain ideas about how to take down the Western Regions, but he never has much clue! I just understand that for the Western Regions, we have to conquer one country after another! So Liu Bei said: "Wenhe, Yuan Hao, this is very good, and tidy it up carefully, and then I will wait for the three of us to discuss it together!" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he turned to everyone again: "We have arrived in the Western Regions, and a certain Western Regions Protector is the Metropolitan Protector, and I have appointed all the official positions in the Western Regions, and now Jia Xu is the Protector of the Western Regions and is responsible for the military counsellor; Tian Feng is the governor of the Western Regions and is responsible for the government affairs of the Western Regions; Lü Bu was the commander of the Hundred Battles Army, commanding five hundred cavalry; Xu Huang was the commander of the Black Cavalry Army, commanding five hundred Black Cavalry; Huang Zhong was the commander of the Longxiang army, and selected 500 cavalry from the 100 battle battalions; Zhang Ren was the commander of the Leopard Tao Army and selected 500 cavalry from the 100 battle battalions; Liao Hua became the captain of our personal guard, temporarily commanding a hundred people; Gan Ning, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, follow me for the time being; Huaxiong, continue to sit in Yumen Pass. After arranging his personal duties, Liu Bei was not worried about Hua Xiong, so he said to Hua Xiong again, "Zijian, Yumen Pass is my retreat, I will hand over all my retreat to you, and if possible, try to make friends with Yangguan in the south." It will be of great use to me. If Zijian wants to fight on the battlefield, you can say it to me in advance, I must arrange for people to go to Yumen Pass in advance to replace you, and the soldiers guarding Yumen Pass must learn from their own people! "As long as there is no rebellion in Liangzhou, Liu Bei is actually not afraid of chaos in Yumen, but Yumen can save a lot of trouble! More importantly, it will be very convenient to enter Liangzhou to counter-insurgency in the future!

When Hua Xiong heard this, he was inexplicably moved in his heart, this lord Liu Bei actually valued himself so much, and felt that there was an urge to die for his confidant. When everyone heard Liu Bei's arrangement, they all agreed!
