In the early morning of the second day, the spy in charge of monitoring came to report to Yang Yi that Zen Master Basang had led his entourage to the west overnight.

In fact, Yang Yi did not doubt that Basang would refuse his request, because in the entire western part of Daguang, only Yang Yi could fight with the fierce Di or dare to fight with the fierce Di, and Basang wanted to keep the Western Regions Buddhism from being annexed by the Eastern Plains Buddhism, so he had to agree to Yang Yi's request.

Yang Yi's request seemed harsh on the surface, but in fact, it gave Basang enough confidence to go back to negotiate.

In Yang Yi's conditions, it is important to explain that Yang Yi is helping the countries of the Western Regions to defend against foreign enemies, and has no idea of ruling the Western Regions. The countries of the Western Regions will not collect any form of tribute and tribute from the countries of the Western Regions, except for the war horses that have been paid to the troops sent to Shuzhong every year.

You must know that although the fierce Di did not formally rule the Western Regions, the taxes they demanded from the countries of the Western Regions every year were very high, accounting for almost 40% of the total taxes in the Western Regions.

If it weren't for the fact that the Western Regions were a necessary place for the Eastern and Western Continents, with a large number of caravans passing through every year, and a steady stream of commercial tax revenue, it would be difficult for them to bear such a high tribute tax, which was also the main reason for the Western Regions' people's psychological resistance to the fierce Di.

Now that Yang Yi has promised to protect the land of the Western Regions, and does not charge additional tax remuneration, I have to say that this condition alone is very attractive.

In addition, Yang Yi also promised Basang that as long as the Western Regions countries stood on the side of Shuzhong, the Western Regions caravans would not only be able to enter the southwest through Shuzhong and reach the west and south by sea, but the Shu army would also provide security for them.

The Caravan of the Western Regions was a prestigious commercial organization of this era. The Western Regions are located in the desert Gobi, they can't farm, and the water and grass are not as rich as the northern grasslands, and the biggest reliance is the caravan from the north to the south and the east and west.

On the other hand, after Zen Master Basang left, Yang Yi did not rush to deploy the battle of the Western Regions, because the weather this year was much colder than before, and the ice and snow on the northern grassland had not completely melted.

In addition, the matter of Tongzhou is the place that Yang Yi must pay attention to in front of him, only by successfully taking down Tongzhou and holding the throat of the Central Plains, Yang Yi can rest assured that he can go to the Western Regions to play this big game of chess with Luo Chengzhi, otherwise when the Shu army goes west, Yang Jie stabbed Yang Yi from the buttocks, and then the first dilemma will be a little more than worth the loss.

The peaceful occupation of Tongzhou, on the one hand, blocked the path of the Central Plains princes to the south, and on the other hand, it could also create a huge buffer for Shuzhong, even if something changed, Yang Yi had enough time to make adjustments.

After several days of high-level meetings, Yang Yi made many major personnel adjustments.

Transferred to Shama Naigu, who had rested for a long time, went to Jianchong Pass in the east of Shu to garrison, one to guard the northeast gate of Shuzhong, and the other to prepare for war.

Hong Zhi, who was originally stationed at Jianchong Pass, was transferred to Wenzhou to take over the command of Lu Yuanliang, followed by a large number of veterans of the original Northern Army, mainly to deal with the upcoming battle of the Western Regions.

At the same time, Yang Yi sent 800 li to Dayue to expedite the country, and ordered Murong Sinan, who was stationed in Dayue, to send 20,000 elite soldiers north within two months, and raise corresponding war materials.

There was no change in the two places of Guizhou and Qin, but they only lied to Yue Jing that they must strictly guard against the Linjiang army in the east, and once something happens, they don't need to wait for orders, and they can respond immediately.

In addition, Yang Yi issued a preparation index to the Wuzhishan Military Factory, requiring Zhou Gongyi to step up the manufacture of trebuchets, cloud cars, rushing vehicles and other combat equipment to the greatest extent within a month, and the most important gunpowder must also speed up production.

"Things in Tongzhou are a little troublesome, Huaying, this soft egg, is timid, and he doesn't dare to make a move on Zhu Qingxian at all." Yang Yi looked at the secret report sent by the bean bag in his hand.

No matter how the bean bag instigated Huaying, this soft persimmon just didn't dare to make a difference.

Yang Yi said in surprise: "Damn, people say that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can make holes, so Hua Chang is also a strong party, how could he give birth to such a soft egg?" This Hua Ying can't even dance with a knife except for walking around the yard, **, it seems that there is no hope for him. ”

Hong Zhi on the side smiled and said: "You just let the bean bag do it directly." ”

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Zhu Qingxian, the counselor of the same state, is very cautious, the dark envoy tried to assassinate several times without success, but instead lost a lot of manpower. ”

Shama Naigu pursed his lips and said, "According to me, let's go directly to the north and south, I don't believe that the small Tongzhou city can still stop us." ”

Before Yang Yi could speak, Liu Wenzheng shook his head and said: "This matter needs to be thought about enough, although Zhu Qingxian is not a powerful person, but Yang Jie behind him has to be guarded against." ”

Yang Yidao: "Yes, according to the report of the spies, Yang Jie has stationed more than 20,000 people on the border between Gyeongju Mansion and Tongzhou Mansion, including 8,000 cavalry. As long as we move, Zhu Qingxian will definitely ask Yang Jie for help as soon as possible, and then it will be troublesome. ”

Yang Yi in the same state must be taken, but he must not be dragged into the quagmire of war by Yang Jie, especially after Yang Yi decided to use troops against the Western Regions.

Yang Yi stepped forward and kicked the sleepy-eyed Lu Yuanliang and said, "Hurry up, find a way." ”

Lu Yuanliang was kicked by Yang Yi and almost fell down from the chair, and was about to scold angrily when he found that everyone was looking at him with wide eyes, and said with a smile: "What did you say?" ”

Yang Yi forcibly suppressed the urge in his heart to step forward and come again, and said coldly: "Tongzhou! Take the same state! ”

"Hmm..."Lu Yuanliang nodded solemnly and said, "Got it." ”

Everyone already knew a lot about the drunkard, and knew that the more confused he was, the more he had a ghost idea.

Liu Wenzheng said with a smile: "If the military advisor has already planned to speak out quickly, we will show off our ugliness here." ”

Yang Yi turned around and sat back on the chair, pointed at Lu Yuanliang and scolded: "Don't tell Lao Tzu that you have been in Wenzhou Mansion for three months, you are sleeping, drinking and farting!" ”

Lu Yuanliang rubbed his upper and lower eyelids that couldn't help fighting, and said: "After ten days, the soldiers and horses of Wenzhou and Jianchongguan will come out together, don't care about him all the way, and go directly to the city of Tongzhou, and when the time comes, someone will open the city gate and offer Zhu Qingxian's head..."

The words fell, Lu Yuanliang's head turned off and fell asleep again, and after a while, there was a loud snoring, and the angry Yang Yi scolded his mother.
