Chapter 620: The old man gives way (first update)
Soon after the outbreak of the Western Regions War, Yuan Ming commanded an army of 50,000 people, crossed Yongliang and Liang, and headed towards Liuzhong City, where the Western Regions Protectorate was located
Today, Liuzhong City has expanded several times and has become a huge and lush capital, with people and caravans from various countries in the Western Regions in addition to the people of Daxi.
Lu Su established strict laws and regulations here, and the system did not allow the people of Daxi to bully foreign merchants at will, and of course, foreign merchants were not allowed to mess around in Liuzhong City, so the order in the city was quite good, and commerce and trade were also very developed, and gradually Liuzhong City became the first important city and transit station for the countries of the Western Regions to enter Daxi.
Of course, the Protectorate of the Western Regions in Liuzhong City is more about coordinating the contradictions and disputes between the countries in the Western Regions, stopping the intrusion of foreign forces, maintaining the social order in the Western Regions, spreading the culture and prestige of Daxi, and ensuring the smooth flow of the Silk Road.
On this day, outside the south gate of Liuzhong City, Yuan Ming, who was wearing gorgeous armor, came here with many civil and military forces and a long army.
When he was just approaching not far away, Yuan Ming's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately looked up, only to see that although there were many people outside the city gate to greet him, a majestic and majestic general immediately came into view, he was dressed in a red armor, and quietly went there to stand there, giving people a feeling of looking up to a high mountain, like an ancient mountain, calm, and indeed domineering.
After Yuan Ming saw it clearly, he immediately got off the war horse far away, and ran over with many civil and military forces, and when the distance was less than three meters, he immediately respectfully saluted: "Uncle"
"Meet Zhao Shuai"
"Meet the Father"
The general is really the British Duke Zhao Yun who suppressed the 36 countries of the Western Regions, the Western Regions can have today's glory, all of which are Zhao Yun knocked down, Yan Rou let go of Wusun back then, but Wusun was not grateful, but angry, often looking for trouble, it was Zhao Yun who personally led 30,000 iron horsemen, and even beheaded the eleven generals of Wusun, and killed the Kunmi King of that generation with his own hands, and then followed the Eight Banners and supported a loyal Daxi Kunmi King, so Wusun became one of the vanguard of Daxi.
In addition to Wusun, the other unsatisfied countries of the Western Regions were also beaten by Zhao Yun, and Daxi's control over half of the Western Regions was completely determined.
In addition, he was the fourth general of Yuan Xi's palace back then, and he existed like a brother, so when all the kings saw him, they had to be called uncles, which was ordered by Yuan Xi.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, don't be polite, hurry up" Although he is already famous all over the world, Zhao Yun is still very low-key and modest, which is why Yuan Xi chose him back then and pressed Ma Chao down, although Ma Chao is also peerless in martial arts, but the killing intent is too great, and at that time Yuan Xi did not want to completely destroy these countries in the Western Regions, but to reopen the Silk Road and prosper the rich country.
If the murderous spirit is too great, it is estimated that all the countries in the Western Regions will be forced to Guishuang, Yuan Xi's policy has always been that he would rather give more money than have fewer unnecessary casualties, just like now, if Daxi directly sends troops to Dawan, it will be too far away, and it is estimated that many soldiers will not die on the battlefield, but in the harsh environment of the Western Regions.
When Emperor Wu sent Li Guangli to fight Dawan, the first time was for this reason, tens of thousands of soldiers buried all the way to Dawan, when they arrived in Dawan, there were already less than thousands, and one by one was exhausted, so not only did not win, but returned defeated, although the second time to win, but the loss of the army was also very heavy, Emperor Wu also because of such expeditions again and again, the accumulation of the two emperors of Wenjing was exhausted, and there was a guilty edict of later generations.
Emperor Wu's ambition, Yuan Xi also has, or even more, but Yuan Xi wants to consume the strength of the countries in the Western Regions, and then integrate into Daxi step by step, which may be slower, but the country's foundation is stable, and the people will not be burdened by war, and the most important thing is that Yuan Xi has been transformed by the Flying Dragon Diagram, and his longevity is very long, he doesn't care about this time, and Emperor Wu really doesn't, so he can only hurry up and do it, this is a difference.
After Yuan Ming got up, Lu Su and other officials of the Western Regions Protectorate beside Zhao Yun immediately saluted and said, "Meet Your Highness."
"Lu Duhu doesn't have to be polite, everyone please hurry up," Yuan Ming immediately said softly.
"Your Highness"
After speaking, Yuan Ming was a little puzzled: "Uncle, why are you here?" It's okay over there! ”
"It's okay, Wusun and Qiuzi may not be able to win Dawan, but they won't lose either, the minister came from the Cheshi this time, mainly to see His Highness" Zhao Yun said softly.
"Father, why don't you bring troops over to recover Dawan" I saw Zhao Yu, who was wearing a silver battle armor and majestic Zhao Yu, asked excitedly and reverently.
Zhao Yun frowned, and immediately became extremely serious, which immediately startled Zhao Yu.
"Little Marquis, if my Daxi sends troops now, it is estimated that it will directly trigger all the wars of the two empires, and now Guan Jian is in Southeast Asia, which is the main battlefield, and the Guishan side of the Western Regions controls the three powerful countries of Dawan, Kangju, and Khorezm, and can gather more than 100,000 soldiers and horses at any time, so you can't be too impulsive" Lu Su, who had a long beard and became more and more majestic, smiled.
In this life, Lu Su is much more comfortable than in the previous life, in the previous life, he tried his best to stabilize Jiangdong and Liu Bei, resist Cao Cao in the Central Plains, and Sun Quan hated the position of the governor of the capital, and had been secretly suppressing him, causing him to be exhausted and die early, and in this life, Daxi is not the same as Jiangdong at all, and Yuan Xi loves him very much, in his mansion, there have always been three beloved disciples of Hua Tuo, and he has to watch his body every day, plus Zhao Yun's battle power, so that he can protect this quite comfortable.
"What Du Hu said is that this battle can be fought slowly, there is no need to rush, and it can even be used to coordinate the entire Western Regions, and some countries can also be included in my Daxi territory" Behind Yuan Ming, a young man with an ordinary face but a bright eye said with a smile.
Lu Su's eyes froze, and he said, "Your Highness, this is"
"Oh! This is the new staff of this king, undoubtedly recommended, the name Wang Fan, the word Shouren, it is said that his name is still obtained by his father," Yuan Ming immediately introduced.
"Wang Fan, meet Du Hu" Wang Fan immediately stood up and saluted again.
"Haha, Shouren, listen to what you just said, this time I plan to help His Highness integrate the countries of the Western Regions, so what are you going to do?" Lu Su smiled.
After Wang Fan hesitated for a while, he said softly: "Gather all the kings, gather together to ask for Dawan, deter with threat, encircle with grace, take Dawan as the heart, turn the countries of the Western Regions, become the provinces of the Western Regions, and realize national integration."
"How to gather the kings" Hearing this, Lu Su asked with some expectation.
"Of course, it's up to Zhao Shuai," Wang Fan suddenly bowed his head and said.
"No, Ben Shuai has been fighting for the past few years, and his health is not as good as before, so he is really ready to ask His Majesty for his life and go back to Dunhuang to rest" Zhao Yun suddenly smiled, and Lu Su on the side also nodded lightly.
"Father" Zhao Yu was taken aback.
Yuan Ming's face froze, and he said, "Uncle"
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said softly: "Your Highness, the next thing is not suitable for the minister, the minister will support you with 30,000 iron horses, that is to say, you only have less than 80,000 horses, these 80,000 horses, whether you can sit until you gather the kings, and even turn the capital into a province depends on Your Highness's own ability, this is a great city, Your Highness should work hard."
Yuan Ming looked at the trust revealed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and immediately said deeply: "Thank you, uncle"
The Western Regions is too important to him, he doesn't want to win this battle, he wants to rule here completely, because he knows very well that Daxi's boundless world belongs to his father, maybe if he dies, his father will not die in the sky, the prince is just nothing, he needs a foundation of his own, and the Western Regions is, he wants to use this as a springboard to rush to a broader world, his own world.
。。。。。
That night, in a luxurious mansion in Liuzhong City, Yuan Ming looked at the sky and fell into a burst of thoughts.
"Your Highness, Zhao Shuai really deserves to be His Majesty's most loyal warrior, just such a sentence is equivalent to handing over all his years of hard work to His Highness, and Lu Duhu also found a minister and asked the minister to serve as his deputy" Wang Fan stood behind him and said with a sigh.
"Yes! There is really such a group of loyal subordinates, the father can be so great, in fact, not only the Western Regions, but also the commanders everywhere are giving way and cultivating us, so we must not let them down, let alone disappoint the father," Yuan Ming said firmly.
"Your Highness, the minister has a feeling that these old handsomes will not end up like this, and even more amazing in the future" Wang Fan said softly.
"Of course not, because my father is the first person in ancient and modern times, super holy and extraordinary, the brilliance of the old handsomes will shine more in the future, but it is temporarily hidden by my father step by step, they are the real essence of my Daxi, but these don't care for the time being, first take down the Western Regions completely, you immediately send an order to the Wusun domestic love cabinet personnel, this king wants to marry Princess Wusun" Yuan Ming said loudly.
"No"
