In September, the news of the death of Fu Jian, the former king of Qin, reached Guzang, and Lü Guang ordered the three armies to mourn, claiming to be the envoy of the festival, the servant, the governor of the Chinese and foreign capitals, the governor of the military of Longyou Hexi, the general, the pastor of Liangzhou, and the prince of Jiuquan, and officially played the banner of self-reliance.

At this time, it was also time for Wei Shuo to return to Gaochang, but before that, he still needed Lu Su to help him get the military power of the Western Regions, so as to prepare for the future conquest of the Western Regions.

"The eldest son, I will return to Gaochang in a few days, thanks to the care of the son recently, but in the future, I will go all out."

"Well, Naoyuan's words are enough to comfort my heart!"

Now Lu Su is quite complacent, but after thinking about it again, he feels that he has won Wei Shuo's service for nothing, but he has not been able to reciprocate, as if he is very incompetent.

He leaned over in front of Wei Shuo and asked with a look of concern: "I don't know if Zhiyuan is embarrassed?" might as well tell it, as long as this son can do it, he will not disappoint Zhiyuan. ”

"The eldest son doesn't ask, there is something I want to ask you for help with."

"What's the matter? Say, although you are bold to say, what is the difficulty of this son to help you! ”

Finally accepted a subordinate, Lu Su behaved very boldly, and shouted for Wei Shuo to tell the difficulty.

"Hui Changgongzi, added as the governor of Gaochang County, responsible for the safety of a county. However, recently, with the withdrawal of the army led by the governor from the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions that were originally subjugated have become ready to move again, and there have been Qiuzi, Yanqi, Wusun and other countries to harass the Gaochang border. ”

"In Xia Bucai, he was originally the governor to take care of the Western Regions, and asked for orders to conquer the countries."

"Hey, that's what happened."

Lu Su gasped, he didn't expect Wei Shuo to have such a big appetite and want to get the permission to conquer the Western Regions. His father Lu Guang relied on the conquest of the Western Regions to have today's foundation, so the Lu family also valued the Western Regions more than any other force, but because he was now bound by the complex situation in Liangzhou, he had no time to look west.

"What? Make my brother a little embarrassed? If you are embarrassed, forget it, tomorrow Shuo will personally talk to the governor. ”

Although he knew that Wei Shuo was using the radical method, Lu Su still ate this set, and glared at him: "There is a promising brother, where is the need for a virtuous brother to talk about it?" Wait a little longer, and I'll let you know when you have the right to believe me. ”

"Thank you, brother!"

……

The next day, seeing an opportunity for no one, Lü Su mentioned in front of Lü Guang the matter of letting Wei Shuo be the governor of the Western Regions.

Hearing this, Lu Guang stared straight at Lu Su, until he looked at the other party and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Wei Shuo will become big in the Western Regions?" ”

"Of course, my son is worried that Wei Shuo will become bigger, but now the Lu family's rule in Liangzhou is not stable, there are heroes and families inside, and there are strong enemies outside, and they can't use their power against the distant Western Regions at all."

And Erchen believes that even if there is no father's consent today, will Yang Han and Wei Shuo stay in Gaochang honestly? Surely they will not be horses, they will still expand to the Western Regions. In this case, why can't my father push the boat to fulfill him? ”

"Well, it's gratifying for you to think of that."

Lu Guang was quite satisfied with Lu Su's performance, and now it seems that it was right to choose Wei Shuo as a whetstone. In this case, it is better to make this whetstone harder, and let the son suffer more, so that there is hope for growth.

"I can give Wei Shuo the military power west of Yumen Pass, but have you thought about how to restrain this person in the future and prevent him from becoming a disaster?"

Erchen thought that Wei Shuo was not to worry, the key was that the Lu family had to solve the internal and external troubles in Liangzhou as soon as possible. As long as Liangzhou can work together, even if Yang and Wei seize the Western Regions, what can they do? Don't forget, his father is not Liang Xi, and Yang Han and Wei Shuo are not fathers. ”

"Well, that's good! Looks like you've been working out a bit lately. ”

"This is all good for my father's teaching." Hearing Lu Guang's praise, although Lu Su was very proud in his heart, his face was silent.

"Not arrogant or impatient...... Yes, Su'er, you're good. This favor is still up to you, if you can really take Wei Shuo for your own use, it will save you a lot of trouble in the future. ”

"The child will live up to his father's expectations."

……

In October, Wei Shuo once again left Guzang, where the dark tide was surging, and returned to Gaochang, which was full of vitality like the rising sun, in the farewell of his teachers Du Jin, Lu Su and others.

"What? You got the power to conquer the Western Regions? How could Lu Guang have given you such important power? ”

Yang Han and Song Miao couldn't believe it was true when they saw Wei Shuo take out the letter of appointment from the military governors of the Western Regions.

Wei Shuo explained with a smile: "I can only say that this time it is a coincidence, the two of them don't know, don't look at Lu Guang personally killed Zhang Dayu at the moment, and called himself Liangzhou Mu and Jiuquan Gong, looking complacent." In fact, there is already an undercurrent surging in Liangzhou, and the slightest disturbance will cause turmoil again. ”

"In this case, only Gaochang gave tribute gifts to Guzang with great fanfare, no matter whether we are sincere or not, Lu Guang has to express something, otherwise wouldn't the forces in the outside world be even more detached?"

"Then it is impossible for Lu Guang to hand over the power of conquest of the Western Regions to us, doesn't he know that in this way, Gaochang will be able to expand his strength justifiably?"

"It's not clear what exactly is going on, maybe Lu Su played a key role."

"Lu Su? Why did you get mixed up with Lu Su again? ”

"Hey, hey! Before he had time to report to the adults, he had formed an alliance with Lu Su in private, and the two sides supported each other. ”

"Now that Gaochang's strength is weak, it is a wise move for Du Wei to choose Lu Su to temporarily attach himself to him." Song Miao thought so.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether Lu Su is a helper or not, the most important thing is that Gao Chang has obtained the power to conquer the Western Regions!"

Wei Shuo got up and came to the map, pointed to the north and south foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, and said in high spirits: "After a year of hibernation, Gaochang is no longer what it used to be. When the spring of next year is complete, the army will be reorganized, and it will be able to march westward and sweep through the countries. ”

"However, at present, although Gaochang's strength has increased greatly, he can't rush forward lightly, and he should wait for the weight to be slow. It is best to come up with an overall strategy, and then step by step, and annexing the Western Regions is the right way. ”

"In Zhiyuan's opinion, which country should be targeted for the first battle?"

"In Shuo's opinion, the first battle should be the northern expedition to Wusun." After speaking, Wei Shuo stretched out his finger and pointed on the map at the location of Wusun Kingdom at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

"Why Wusun? And not the close proximity of Yanqi? Yang Han asked puzzled.

Wei Shuo didn't rush to explain anything to Yang Han, but looked at the thoughtful Song Miao and asked, "What did you think of?" Let's hear it. ”

"Yu Taishou and Du Wei, I thought that Lord Du Wei was not in a hurry to attack Shanshan, Yanqi, Qiuzi and other countries at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, thinking that he didn't want to destroy the hard-won good situation in Gaochang. Nowadays, Gaochang's economy is too dependent on the outside world, especially Yanqi, Shanshan, Qiuzi and other countries in the Western Regions. ”

"Those who know me are also physical! Yes, I did have this concern, but the Northern Expedition to Wusun was different. There was not much trade between Wusun and our Gaochang, and the economic impact on Gaochang was negligible, and the conquest of Wusun would not cause an overreaction from the countries at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. ”

"When Wusun is laid in the future, and Gaochang's economy has a solid foundation, we can take action against the countries at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains."

"Wusun is not easy to fight, and it is also a powerful force in the Western Regions, can Gaochang only move the other party?"

"Our family can't beat it, can we still find helpers, Shuo heard that Wusun and Yueban are feuding, if you send a messenger to instigate Yueban to send troops, two flanking attacks, how strong Wusun is? What's more, now that Wusun is no longer what it used to be, he definitely can't withstand the joint attack of Gaochang and Yue. ”

"Well, that's pretty good." Yang Han pinched his beard under his chin, quite satisfied with Wei Shuo's plan.

"Next, Gaochang will enter the war readiness in an all-round way, in which Shuo is responsible for military training, and the matter of the envoy Yue's diplomatic relations will be handed over to the sports industry, and the boss will sit in the government to coordinate the overall situation."
