"Your Excellency is awake!" The voice of a strange woman sounded nearby, and then her footsteps were heard all the way out of the house.

Guo Yi sat up, his eyes briefly adjusted to a moment, and he saw everything in the room clearly. Yan Hua walked slowly into the room, her hair was greasy, and her face was covered with unclean ashes. The eye sockets are a little ruddy, and the eyeballs are bloodshot. The left hand gripped the sword tightly, and it seemed to have grown together with the scabbard.

She looked at him fixedly, as if she wanted to imprint him into her own eyes.

Guo Yi was stunned for a while, she had been guarding it during the time she was in a coma. "Worries you."

"It's okay." With that, turn around and leave.

As soon as she walked on her front foot, Fan Xingui rushed into the house crying wolf howl on her back foot, "Lord!! ”

At this time, Guo Yi was completely awake and was sitting on the edge of the bed, while Fan Xin was lying on his lap. "What are you crying about? Get up! "What kind of body does a big man cry like this? I haven't dressed yet.

"You go out first, I'll see you again after I change my clothes." There were seven or eight people who followed Fan Xin in, all of whom were in the clothes of county officials, and it seemed that they should have been in a coma for a long time.

Fan Xin said to the woman: "Wait for the adults to change their clothes!" ”

The woman hurriedly took out the clothes from the closet and said to Guo Yi respectfully: "My lord, change clothes." ”

"Well, I'll just do it myself." Guo Yi did not shy away from it, so he changed his clothes by himself, and the maid helped tie his belt, arrange his sleeves, collar, and comb his hair.

"Where are you girl?"

The woman said: "The slave's surname is Jia, he is from Xiayan County, he was originally the daughter of a local wealthy family, and he was rescued from the Qiang people's nest by Lord Fan, so he stayed to serve the adult." ”

"How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been about a month and a half. Listening to Lord Fan, from the east of the Western Han River, this Wudu County has been under the jurisdiction of the Lord. Those Qiang people were driven back to the deep mountains and old forests. ”

Moving so fast? A month and a half, sweeping east of the Western Han River? Then there is only one place in Wudu County, Qiangdao County, which has not been recovered. However, according to the county chronicles, the broken place is a loss-making place, not only has to spend a lot of materials to guard against the Qiang people, but also can't pay any taxes, and now in this situation, there is no need to spend energy to recover.

When the country is tired, nothing is empty talk! Take control of valuable areas, develop production, and recapture these areas when the country is rich!

In fact, all Chinese dynasties have done this! As long as the basic position can be maintained, other Hetao areas, Xiliang regions, Western Regions regions, Jiaozhou areas, and so on can be temporarily abandoned. Once you catch your breath, a million heroes will sweep the world, and all over the country can only kneel down and sing to conquer!

"If I'm not mistaken, Qiang Road is also a small checkpoint, surrounded by mountains. Now if you want to send a strong army to recover, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. "It's been almost two years since I came to the end of the Han Dynasty, and I still know very well about the military level of this era. The only way to do this is to wait for yourself to dominate one side and then clean up these areas.

After finishing the makeup, Guo Yi looked like a jade tree in the wind again, and touched his bare chin in the mirror, why didn't he grow a beard? Seeing his smug smile, Jia Shiqiao blushed, and quickly lowered her head and stopped looking at him.

"Let's go, let's go to the hall for a meeting!"

Guo Yi strode out of the door, feeling that his physical condition was much better than before. Fan Xin and the others were already waiting for him.

"My lord, this is something you did while you were in a coma." Fan Xin presented a booklet, which densely recorded what they had done during this time.

After Guo Yi fell into a coma that day, Fan Xin escorted him back to his hometown. Then he immediately organized the village warriors, replenished the armaments, and began to sweep the Qiang people scattered in the ravines. Pursued all the way to Wudu Dao County, and left no piece of armor killed by the Qiang people, and the water of the Western Han Dynasty was dyed red.

After expelling the foreign enemy, Fan Xin set about resuming production. According to Guo Yi's line of thought, the first requirement is to ensure national defense, and the second is to live in peace. Therefore, there are many migrations to the people of various counties. In order to prepare for going north to Hanyang County, he moved the administrative office to Xihe Township, which is under the jurisdiction of Mudodo County, and is separated from Xixian County by a mountain in Hanyang County.

Xihe Township is located in a valley basin, and the soil is also fertile, the terrain is flat, and the water source is abundant, which can resume agricultural production. In terms of defense, the north, west, and south are all Western Han water, and the east is surrounded by mountains and forests, so as long as the troops are sufficient, it will not be a problem to defend steadily.

As long as you pass through the valley in the north, you can go all the way north along the West Han River and go straight to the West County, and the land of Hanyang County is in front of you!

The seven counties of Jincheng County, Hanyang County, Longxi County, Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County are now in the hands of the rebels of the kingdom, with a momentum of about 200,000 people.

In the huge Liangzhou territory, only Beidi County and Anding County, two relatively barren counties, have less rebel intrusion, and the imperial border army has begun to quell the rebellion, plus Wudu County, which Guo Yi has just recovered, is only a land of three counties.

The time has entered October, and the western cool land is starting to get cold. Guo Yi was thinking about the days in his heart, and there were only eighteen months before the death of Emperor Han Ling. Before this day comes, he will either pacify Liangzhou and take advantage of the situation to divide one side. Either return to the court as soon as possible and find an opportunity to control the two little emperors!

was thinking about the great cause of a thousand years, Fan Xin's words pulled him back and said, "Lord, look." There are two mountain passes in this Xihe Township, one in the west and the other in the north. Sending troops from the west and going north along the mountain road can take the land of Longxi, but this place is high mountains and mountains, and it is not easy for cavalry to be used. ”

The two rode up to the high ground, overlooking the geographical environment of Xihe Township. Fan Xin pointed around with a horsewhip and said, "If you send troops from the northern mountain pass, after crossing the mountain, it will be a smooth road to cross the Western Han River. If there are thousands of cavalry, they can take Hanyang County directly. ”

Looking at this geographical terrain, combined with some knowledge he had, Guo Yi had a general idea in his heart. With his current strength, it is unrealistic to want to recover the entire Liangzhou. This area can only be controlled by the Central Dynasty when the Central Plains is peaceful.

What he wanted to do was to expel all the rebels and invading foreigners to the area north of the Yellow River. Only in this way can the crisis in the Sanqin region be temporarily resolved.

"What's your plan?" If he can make a quick decision, Guo Yi will never want to delay time. Fan Xin is relatively similar to his own personality, and he is also a person who likes to be strong to the end.

After Fan Xin took control of the situation in Wudu County, he had been thinking about how to seize control of Liangzhou, and now he had a general idea in his heart. Then he said: "Lord, we can divide the army into two ways!" Although the Wang Kingdom Army is huge, it has a false appearance, and its subordinates Ma Teng, Han Sui and others have their own agendas, and it is difficult to work together. We divided one infantry to the north to Longxi County, and one cavalry to Hanyang County. Then the traitors will not be able to care for each other at the end, and there will be disagreements. ”

After a pause, Fan Xin also hesitated a little, figuring out people's hearts is not what he is good at, and he does not know the specific situation of the enemy generals, so he can only speculate. said: "Jincheng County is the place where Han Sui made his fortune. Hanyang-gun is the base camp of Ma Teng. Once the two counties are attacked, the rebels will inevitably divide their forces. Once Ma Teng and Han Sui disagree over the division of troops, our army will have a great chance of victory! ”

There is not much difference between what Fan Xin thinks and what Guo Yi thinks, but it can also be seen that Fan Xin has some disadvantages in terms of intrigue. Guo Yi pointed to all kinds of things in Xihe Township and asked: "In just a month and a half, you expelled the Qiang people, and quickly completed the relocation of residents and the recovery of production, and you are also a genius." ”

"The lord has a good reputation." Fan Xin didn't know what Guo Yi wanted to say for a while, in the past, Guo Yi rarely judged his ability so seriously, since he said it today, there must be a major decision to be made.

Guo Yi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In the past, Gaozu achieved the emperor's business, not only because of the world's heart, but also because he was good at employing people. Zhang Liang strategized and won a thousand miles. Xiao He guarded the country and pacified the people. Han Xin will conquer, win the battle, invincible, and the names of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty will shock the past and the present. If you want to compare these three human beings, who should you compare? ”
