Jiuquan City is broken, which means that Xiliang is initially pacified, in the fifth year of Kaiyuan, the imperial court worships Zhou Yu as the general of the expedition to the West, and pacifies Xiliang, which lasted one year and five months, and in the seventh year of Kaiyuan, Xiliang is pacified.

After Xiliang was pacified, Su Chen did not let Zhou Yu immediately return to the court, but only recalled Zhang Fei, the governor of Yuzhou, Sun Ce, the governor of Yangzhou, Zhang Liao, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Huang Zhong, the deputy governor of Jingzhou.

As for Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun, Su Chen had another appointment, after Dunhuang was attached, Su Chen took Zhou Yu as the governor of Liangzhou, Zhang Meng, Yan Xing was the deputy governor, in charge of all military affairs in Liangzhou, Liangzhou because of the initial pacification, so Su Chen specially approved the Liangzhou Governor's Office to command 300,000 standing troops, including 100,000 cavalry, 200,000 infantry, mainly deployed in Jincheng, Beidi and Dunhuang.

In addition, Su Chen reset the Western Regions Protectorate, with Zhao Yun as the Western Regions Protector, and ordered Zhao Yun to build military towns in Shaye, Qiuzi, Khotan, and Shule to strengthen the control of the Great Yan Kingdom over the Western Regions, these four towns are collectively known as the four towns of Anxi, and the four towns set up Captain Yingyang, commanding the soldiers and horses of the town, each military town can have 30,000 to 50,000 troops, and the four towns of Anxi belong to the management of the Western Regions Protectorate.

In addition to Zhao Yun, Su Chen also appointed Suning as the governor of the Western Regions, and the rest of Zhang Bao, Xu Yi, Tai Shiheng and others were also transferred to Zhao Yun and belonged to Zhao Yun.

Su Chen appointed Zhang Chang as the assassin of Liangzhou, managing all government affairs in Liangzhou, Huang Ang, Huang Hua, Ju Ying, and Ju Guang all served as Yingyang Zhonglang generals in various counties, and the separation of military and political affairs is a national policy, and no one can be an exception, Yingyang Mansion cannot meddle in government affairs, and Taishou cannot interfere in the operation of Yingyang Mansion and Zhichong Governor's Mansion, in order to implement the military household system and government order reform in Liangzhou, many students in Taixue have been sent to Liangzhou counties and counties as officials below the seventh grade, At the same time, many retired officers or non-commissioned officers of the army who had reached the age were sent to Liangzhou to serve in various Yingyang Mansions and Governor's Mansions.

However, Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and it will take at least three years to implement administration in Liangzhou, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

The general trend has gone, Zhang Xiu of Hedong has attached himself to the imperial court, and Su Chen still appointed Zhang Xiu as the general of Yang Zhonglang of Hedong Mansion, and at the same time, Jia Xu beside Zhang Xiu was transferred to the imperial court.

Jia Xu didn't know how the emperor knew about him, but the emperor called him, and Jia Xu couldn't help but go, so he could only go to Luoyang quickly.

"Grass people Jia Xu knock to see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

"Flat!" Su Chen looked at Jia Xu who was kneeling below, and said in his heart that he finally held this poisoner in his hands, although with his current status, a Jia Xu couldn't make any waves, but he still didn't dare to underestimate it.

"Wenhe, my eldest grandson Rui'er is ten years old this year, although I have invited a few teachers for him before, but they are not very satisfied, and now my father-in-law is also older, and he doesn't have enough energy to teach Rui'er, Wenhe is a famous family, I want Wenhe to be Rui'er's teacher, I don't know what Wenhe wants?"

Since it was the emperor who spoke in person, Jia Xu naturally did not dare to refuse, he was a person who knew how to protect himself, although he was unwilling to intervene in the royal affairs, but the matter had come to this point, so he could only agree.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's wrong love, the grass people can not do their best."

"Well, I'm relieved, come on, go and bring Rui'er up." Su Rui is very smart and deeply loved by Su Chen, so Su Chen gave him the title of Marquis of Yan, which can be seen.

"Rui'er meets the emperor's grandfather." After a while, a little eunuch led Su Rui in, eunuchs are unavoidable in all dynasties, and they are also a buffer between imperial power and relative power, Su Chen stipulates that eunuchs are not allowed to read and write, they are not allowed to participate in state affairs, and violators will be killed with a cane.

"Come here." Seeing Xiao Rui'er coming, Su Chen beckoned, waited for him to come forward, took his hand, pointed at Jia Xu and said: "Rui'er, grandpa has found a teacher for you, it is this Mr. Jia, in the future, you will study with Mr. Jia, hurry up and meet Mr." ”

Hearing Su Chen's words, Su Rui stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and bowed, "Su Rui to meet Mr." ”

"Don't dare." Jia Xu turned his body slightly, you must know that Jia Xu is just a commoner now, and Su Rui is the noble emperor's eldest grandson, Yanhou, where does Jia Xu dare to accept his full courtesy.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen smiled and said to the little yellow door beside him: "Come on, draft the decree, Feng Jiaxu is a doctor of Taixue, responsible for teaching the emperor's eldest grandson homework." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Taught by Jia Xu Su Rui, Su Chen is very relieved, over the years, in addition to the youngest son Su Chun, the rest of the sons have also become families, and they have all given birth to heirs, in the third belt of the Su family, looking at all the heirs, only Su Rui is the smartest, among the three generations of heirs, only Su Rui has a title, and he is also the Marquis of Yan who Su Chen was once titled, although he is a marquis, but the meaning of favor does not need to be said, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, so for the future of the Su family, Su Chen has the intention of making Su Jin the prince.

It's just that once Su Jin is crowned as the prince, then Su Jin will definitely not be able to continue to serve as the governor of Jingzhou, the geographical location of Xiangyang is very important, it is the bridgehead to destroy Bashu, although Su Jin has repeatedly made military exploits over the years, but there is still a lack of a great achievement, and the battle of destroying Shu is a great achievement set up by Su Chen for him, if Su Jin can make a great contribution in the final battle of destroying Shu, then it is logical for him to inherit the unification in the future. I just want him to train his own team.

"Now that Xiliang has just been pacified, the dark son sent to Xichuan has not yet sent back the news, it seems that the battle to destroy Shu still needs time to prepare, no matter what, the prince's matter will be talked about in the future."

Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately dismissed the idea of establishing a prince, but he crowned Su Rui as the Duke of Yan Guo, so as to stabilize the hearts of the ministers of the court.

It is worth mentioning that Ma Chao, Ma Chao was also transferred by Su Chen to serve in the forbidden army, Ma Chao is capable and has great prestige in Xiliang, and it is exactly like this, so Su Chen can't let Ma Chao stay in Xiliang, and Ma Chao's status is not easy to settle, thinking about it, Su Chen transferred Ma Chao to the forbidden army and served as the deputy commander of the forbidden army.

At the same time, Zhang Liao was promoted to the commander of the forbidden army, and Gao Shun served as the captain of the division, no longer commanding the forbidden army, and was only responsible for commanding the Yingyang Mansion of the various departments of the division.

After Zhao Yun received the appointment of the imperial court, he led 30,000 tiger cavalry, 5,000 wolf cavalry, and 50,000 foot soldiers from Dunhuang into the Western Regions.

The Western Regions vassal countries gradually got out of the control of the Han Dynasty over the years, but fortunately, the remnants of the Western Regions Protectorate are still there, after Zhao Yun arrived in Qiuci, he immediately established Qiuci Town under the conditions of the original Western Regions Protectorate, at this time Liangzhou was pacified, and the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce also took advantage of the situation to enter Liangzhou, and cooperated with the three major families in Dunhuang to establish a storage base to provide a steady stream of materials for the construction of the four towns of Anxi.

In the face of strong military deterrence and huge commercial interests, many countries in the Western Regions have been attached to the Great Yan Kingdom one after another, and they have handed over their credentials to the Great Yan Kingdom, but there are still some countries that are used to living a free and easy life and are unwilling to accept the rule of the Yan Kingdom.

Half a year later, a huge fortress was completed, Zhao Yun was already invincible, at this time, he sent Zhang Hu, Suning, Zhang Bao and others to the other three places to establish military towns, but to establish military towns in these places, first of all, the local country did not agree, so the people sent by Zhao Yun were expelled.

Among them, Zhang Hu, who was sent to Shule to build a military town, was expelled by the Dawan Kingdom, and the king of Dawan also sent troops to fight Zhang Hu, causing Zhang Hu to lose nearly 2,000 men and horses.

I didn't expect that the first one to jump out would be Dawanguo, Zhao Yun personally led 5,000 wolf rides, 30,000 tiger rides, and it took half a month to directly let Dawan destroy the country, and capture all the people who are good at raising horses in Dawan back to Qiuzi, specializing in raising horses for the imperial court.

No one expected that Zhao Yun would be so ruthless, although Dawan was a small country, but it was destroyed in half a month, and the combat effectiveness of the Yan army greatly shocked the countries of the Western Regions.

After two years, the construction of the four towns of Anxi was finally completed, these four towns are the four nails buried by the Yan Kingdom in the Western Regions, firmly nailing the countries of the Western Regions to the chariot of the Yan Kingdom, and countless wines, silks, soaps and other things in the Central Plains continue to flow to the Western Regions, and at the same time, the specialties of the Western Regions, horses and horses are also continuously transported to Liangzhou, and even all over the Han Dynasty.

The pacification of the Western Regions, Zhao Yun's contribution is indispensable, which also has the support of Zhou Yu, the governor of Liangzhou, Su Chen ordered Zhao Yun to be the Duke of Weiguo, and Zhou Yu to be the Duke of Zhou, which is the only two princes who have been rewarded in recent years.

The battle of pacifying Xiliang, although the reward was very large, Sun Ce was also named the first-class Marquis of Wu, but none of them were named the Duke of the Kingdom, I have to say that it is a pity, as the world slowly calms down, the title becomes more and more rare, so the military generals are eager to make great contributions.

The reason why Su Chen did not reward the dukedom of the country is mainly for Su Jin to inherit the unification in the future, once he seals too many princes, it will be very unfavorable to Su Jin after he takes the throne in the future, a group of arrogant soldiers, when the time comes, relying on the old and selling the old, Su Jin's pressure will be great, it is better not to seal it for the time being, and when Su Jin comes in the future, then these people will naturally be loyal to the new emperor.

This is the most basic emperor's mental technique, although Su Chen has not studied it specifically, but he has been in the top position for a long time over the years, and he is also comfortable with this way.

Since the establishment of the Yan Kingdom, Su Chen has actively renovated the river, built water conservancy, and vigorously promoted sorghum planting in arid areas, and the navy brought back high-yield sweet potatoes from the Nanyang area, so that the world has a bumper harvest every year, and every household has surplus grain.

Nowadays, eighty percent of the country's tax revenue comes from commerce, agricultural taxes only account for two percent, and the status of merchants has also been greatly improved.

Although it was resisted by Confucianism to a certain extent, with the support of Cai Yong, it was still able to be implemented.

In the tenth year of Kaiyuan, the great Sima Lu Xun asked for the destruction of Shu, and at the same time, good news also came from Xichuan, and Su Chen finally decided to pacify Xishu.
