After the turmoil in the Huizhou area spread to the capital Chang'an, the biggest problem faced by Liu Yan was whether to send troops to quell the rebellion, and how many troops to send if so.

The number of garrisons in the Silk Country in the Huizhou region has been a problem for a long time, but this is not because the Silk Country is unwilling to send troops, but because it cannot afford to raise so many soldiers. If it weren't for Tuntian, I am afraid that the area where Huizhou is located would not even be able to raise these soldiers at present, and there is only one waterway here, but its downstream area is within the scope of the attack of Tuqi, so it is impossible to transport food for the garrison here by water, and the consumption of land transportation is too great, so it has to raise these soldiers within a limited range.

Then the problem comes, if we want to send troops to quell the chaos, it will be very problematic if there are fewer soldiers, and it will be very problematic if there are more soldiers and food supply, and it will also be very unfavorable to the overall strategic situation to leave hidden dangers in the Hexi area when preparing to use troops on a large scale against the Turks.

According to Liu Yan's intentions, he wanted to send Wang Hanxin to do this, but thinking that this guy was still thinking about it behind closed doors, if he rashly used him, it would inevitably cause an uproar in the court, saying that he was too partial, and he still had to discuss with Wu Sicheng in private.

Wu Sicheng's opinion is completely different from Liu Yan's, he feels that if Liu Yan doesn't take this opportunity to let Wang Hanxin make war exploits to offset his mistakes, then he doesn't know when he will be able to arrange him to the battlefield on the front line of Linzhou.

In order to be on the safe side, Liu Yan sent Wu Sicheng to bring an edict to Wang Hanxin, giving him all kinds of information in the Huizhou area, asking him to write a strategy for the riots in the Huizhou area, and then formally summon him to appoint him if it was appropriate.

Two days later, Wu Sicheng sent Wang Hanxin's strategy, Liu Yan opened it, and couldn't help but be happy and worried: Wang Hanxin proposed in the strategy that the reason why the country of silk would cause such a mess in the Huizhou area was that there were two things lacking - grace and power.

Because of the lack of troops, the confidence is insufficient, so the prestige in the local area is not high, so they have to choose the strategy of razing and razing, and control them with the help of the contradictions and interests between the various tribes, so that the tribes do not feel that the country of silk is kind to them. In their eyes, the Silk Country is just ruling the region with the strength behind it, using one of their regimes. Everything is considered from the worst direction, and the fundamental will of the Silk Country is considered. This is the root cause of this riot, when many misunderstandings come together, things change the flavor.

In response to this, Wang Hanxin also proposed three solutions. First, he thought that Ye Erqiang's motive for committing the crime was insufficient, even if they really did it, they would not be guilty of fighting the three major tribes for such a thing. On the contrary, it is more likely that they will fight for their innocence. Therefore, finding out who exactly attacked the goods of the Tang Qiang is an important key, and this matter must be ascertained as soon as possible in order to mediate between the warring parties.

Second, the troops that should be dispatched to quell the riots must be dispatched. Without the backing of a strong military, none of the ministries will really obey the orders of the Silk Country. In order to quell the riots, it is necessary to establish the majesty that has not been established before, which is very beneficial to the future rule and is also to prepare for the grace. Grace and lack of authority will be considered weak and deceitful, and authority and lack of grace will be said to be cruel and unkind.

Thirdly, the Hexi Corridor is very important to the Silk Country, so it is impossible to really gain a foothold in this area in the past way. In order to completely grasp the control of the Hexi Corridor, the country of silk must have a plan to invest a lot of money. This must be done immediately to pave the way for the future.

Wang Hanxin believed that the scale of the tuntian should be expanded in the Huizhou area in order to raise troops. At the same time, the people should be mobilized to dig a canal in the upper reaches of Jingshui to connect with the Yellow River, so that they can avoid the attack of Tuqi and open up the Cao Yun, and transport the grain from Chang'an to the Huizhou area, so that the bureau in the Hexi area will be completely alive, not only can it have more garrisons, but the speed of moving troops back and forth will also be greatly improved. In this way, the Hexi Corridor will be completely under the control of the Silk Country, and with strong material and manpower, no tribe will want to fight against the Silk Country again.

After reading this strategy, Liu Yan handed it over to Xue Boren and An Jingbian to look at, and sighed: "I can't imagine it, Wang Hanxin, a stinky boy, is messing around and has no rules at all, but when he encounters things related to the war, his mind is very clear." This policy is written with reason and evidence, and the head is the way. ”

Xue Boren nodded again and again when he saw it, and even An Jingbian had to admit that his method was feasible.

Xue Boren said: "Your Majesty, the third article of this policy is too big, I am afraid that more than 100,000 people will be used, and the construction period will be at least half a year." Judging by the amount of silver in the current treasury, it seems to be ??????"

Liu Yan waved his hand and said, "Money is not a problem. This matter is conducive to the future, although the current investment is large, but the future return must also be great! Even if I ask me to take the treasures in the palace and mortgage them, I will do this! In the future, we must further control the Western Regions, and the more stable the Hexi Corridor is, the greater our certainty! We must take a long-term view. ”

An Jing said: "It is indeed feasible in terms of this policy, but if Your Majesty wants to appoint Wang Hanxin as a general, then the old minister thinks it is not appropriate. This person is still in the lockdown period, and it is not appropriate to change the punishment decision to let him get away with it, and this person is uncertain, if he is allowed to lead the army, it is very likely that the tragedy of the Goryeo battlefield will be repeated, which will greatly affect our rule in the Hexi region. ”

"This is indeed a problem, and Wechen agrees." Xue Boren rarely stood on the side of Jingjing.

Liu Yan touched the beard on his chin and muttered, "The two Aiqing are reasonable, but this is a problem. This kid has a bad track record and is really elusive. But I'm afraid the only person who can fully grasp this strategy is this stinky boy. It's a pity that Gao Dingbian has already gone to Youzhou to take up his post, otherwise he would be the best candidate. ”

Wu Sicheng reminded on the side: "Your Majesty can send him a prison army, first, you can remind him that he is a guilty body, and when he comes back, he will continue to lock him up at home and grounded, and in addition, it can also prevent him from coming to the front line, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" ”

"You're right, but who can be sent to stop this kid?" Liu Yan frowned. In his opinion, except for Gao Dingbian, there is really no one who can suppress Wang Hanxin.

Wu Sicheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to think about this issue, Yi Weichen can't stop anyone in his opinion." It is better to send someone who has an enmity with him. There are many such candidates. ”

"Then it's hard to guarantee that this kid won't kill this prison army." Liu Yan said.

"Then it depends on how much authority Your Majesty gives to this prison lord." Wu Sicheng said meaningfully. (To be continued.) )
