When the academic exchange meeting in Yuyang City was in full swing, the extreme north and the western regions were tense!

Zhao Yun accepted Liu Yuan's order and sent troops to suppress the remnants of Ding Ling, and Nahan Mola returned to the royal court to state the benefits. But after all, there are people who don't know each other, so the court of Ding Ling was divided into three, and some of them thought that Youzhou was invincible, and it was better to surrender, so as not to die and exterminate the clan.

Others insisted on resisting to the end and fighting against Liu Yuan all the time.

The youngest group thought that they should move west and north, avoiding the edge of Youzhou.

In this way, there was a quarrel in the court of Ding Lingwang, and King Ding Lingwang had a headache, but he didn't know how to choose.

I want to surrender, but in my heart I am not far away from giving up my rights and giving up this high position.

If you don't surrender, you will face a fatal blow!

If you migrate, you are reluctant to this fertile land.

It's a lot of hard work.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun was not in a hurry. As soon as the deadline expires, they will send troops to attack, annihilate the entire Ding Ling clan, and reduce all the captives to slaves!

In the Western Regions, an army of 30,000 marched out of Juyan, headed by Jia Xu and supplemented by Ma Chao, ready to meddle in the affairs of the Western Regions.

When the army arrived at Shanshan, the king of Loulan, the king of Loulan did not dare to slack off, let alone offend, so he obediently opened the city gate and enlarged the army into the city.

At the night banquet that day, Jia Xu proposed to let the king of Loulan send a letter of state, condemning Wusun's aggression and oppression of Loulan over the years, and asking him to pay compensation and apologize. If you don't comply, you will immediately overwhelm the territory with a large army and destroy Wusun!

King Loulan did not expect that as soon as the Han people arrived in Loulan, they would intervene in the affairs of the Western Regions, and he was surprised and terrified. So he didn't answer Jia Xu directly, but only thought about it for a few days, discussed it with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and made a decision.

Jia Xu also only said that it was difficult to subdue King Loulan in an eagerness, and he did not persecute him, but only talked with him and talked about the world.

The next day, King Loulan convened the ministers of the court and the central government to discuss Jia Xu's proposal. Most of the ministers disagreed, and a small number even suggested that the Han people had bad intentions. How could King Loulan not know? But due to the strength of the Han people, they had to show the word 'drag' and perfunctory Jia Xu.

However, Jia Xu was not discouraged, every time he saw King Loulan, he raised it once, and his tone became heavier and heavier, so that King Loulan was almost out of breath.

Then, in several successive court meetings, more and more ministers agreed to Jia Xu's proposal!

King Loulan finally had no excuse to shirk, and after thinking about it for a few days, he asked Jia Xu to enter the palace.

"You Han people want to meddle in the Western Regions?"

King Loulan was silent for a long time, and then said suddenly.

"That's right," Jia Xu said bluntly: "The Western Regions were the territory of my Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Now it's just a matter of taking it back! ”

"I can grant your request." King Loulan's eyes narrowed and said, "But I have conditions." ”

"Say."

"I want weapons, armor, and horses!" King Loulan's tone was extremely resolute: "Otherwise, the fish will die and the net will be broken!" ”

Jia Xu stared at him straight, looking at his heart, and then said, "Hehe, the fish is dead and the net is broken?" You Loulan, you don't have this ability yet! Jia Xu stood up and walked out slowly: "My lord has always been generous, and now that Her Royal Highness the princess has become a princess, it is not impossible for her to provide you with some assistance to Loulan." But you'd better not do anything out of the ordinary, or the princess won't be able to protect you!" ”

Seeing Jia Xu's back disappear, King Loulan exhaled heavily, and only then did he feel a chill in his back!

The next day, Loulan issued a letter condemning Wusun's aggression and oppression, and offered to pay reparations and apologize.

With the revelation of this letter of state, the entire Western Regions suddenly had a turbulent dark tide and treacherous clouds.

In the post house, Ma Chao and Jia Xu sat opposite each other.

"Mr. Jia, I still don't understand, why did you want to take Wusun first?" Ma Chao said: "Wusun is the strongest country in the Western Regions, it is a hard bone, it is not easy to gnaw!" ”

Ma Chao had two doubts in his heart. First, Jia Xu acted too fast, and as soon as he arrived in Loulan, he forcibly demanded that the king of Loulan issue a letter of state, and secretly controlled all the important ministers of Loulan by unsightly means.

Second, if you want to do it, you have to find soft bones to gnaw, but I didn't expect Jia Xu to take Wusun first!

"Hehehe" Jia Xu smiled and said, "It is precisely because Wusun is the strongest that he is the strongest, so he is knifed!" The Western Regions is too complicated, each country has its own ghosts, and its thoughts are different, and we are here, first of all, we need to correct our name! ”

"Correct name?"

"Yes, let all countries know that we are the strongest, the most ruthless, and the least to provoke! Shock them, and after that, you can gradually achieve the lord's goal! Jia Xu sighed slightly, and said: "In the past hundred years, the Great Han has lost control of the Western Regions, and its power cannot be extended. This time, I want them to know that my Han people are even more ruthless! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he suddenly said, "So what is Mr. Jia going to do?" ”

"Hehe, I've already made two preparations!" Jia Xu said confidently: "When I received the order of the lord, I secretly sent a lot of shadows to Wusun. And this time I was sure that the Uzon would not give in, so—tonight, we will set off! By the time Wusun publicly refuted Loulan, our army had already arrived in the city. When the time comes, he will cooperate with the shadows in the city and quickly break through the Wusun Great Kunmi King City Chigu City! ”

Jia Xu said, his eyes narrowed, and a penetrating cold light burst out from the narrow slit of his eyes: "Then slaughter the city!" ”

Ma Chao's heart was cold, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Slaughtering the city?"

"Yes!" Jia Xu's face showed excitement and hideousness: "Slaughtering the Wusun people of the Great Kunmi Division, one will deter the little Kunmi, and even force it to surrender, and the other will shock the Western Regions, so that the countries will not dare to look sideways!" ”

"At the same time, General Huang Chang will also unite with General Heyun Xu Huang to launch a final attack on Jiankun, Hujie and the remnants of the Xiongnu!"

"In this way," Ma Chao's eyes lit up: "Great things can be done!" ”

"Something can happen!"

River clouds.

Now, in just a few months, the Heyun Fortress has changed dramatically.

Not only has the scale expanded nearly tenfold, but the city walls have continued to grow taller and thicker, completely becoming an iron-walled castle that can never be attacked!

On this day, Xu Huang called Lu Bu to the house.

"General Feng Xian and sit."

Xu Huang stretched out his hand and motioned for Lu Bu to sit down.

"The legion commander called the last general to come, I don't know what is important?" Lu Bu's heart turned: "Could it be that there is another military operation?" ”

"Not bad." Xu Huang nodded with a smile and said, "I said that General Huang Feiying passed the book in Qianjuyan, and asked my department to cooperate with General Huang's department to assist Mr. Jia in pacifying the Western Regions." General Ben thought about it all night and felt that General Fengxian was the most suitable for this operation! ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and rubbed his hands and said: "The bones of the last general are rusty for a while, if there is a task, it is better!" ”

"This mission is to crack down on the remnants of Hujie and Western Dingling." Xu Huang said: "However, this mission has a lot of difficulties. Xu Huang stared at Lu Bu and said solemnly: "Because of the lord's strategy, this battle is not in the plan, and the Youzhou headquarters will hoard the materials for the southern expedition from now on, that is to say, this general will not provide you with grain and grass logistics!" ”

Lu Bu frowned, and instantly stretched out again, and said, "What does the legion commander mean?" ”

"Fight for war!" Xu Huang's eyebrows flashed with murderous aura: "When you meet someone to kill, when you encounter livestock, you can slaughter animals when you encounter livestock, and you will fight with war!" ”

"Fight for war!"

Ju Yan, Huang Chang also said the same to Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie.

"The Huns and Jiankun who want to be killed are scattered!"

"No!"

On May 15th, the first World Academic Exchange Conference was successfully concluded in Youzhou University.

Liu Yuan was busy for half a month, and finally relaxed, and invited Zheng Xuan, Pang Degong and other university furniture to the palace to prepare for a night banquet.

It was not until the middle of the night that Liu Yuan returned to the bedroom to sleep.

Early the next morning, Gu Yong, Yan Gang, Zhang Lu, Di Rong, Xun You, Fa Yan and others came to ask for their resignation.

"Lord Wang, I'll come and ask for my resignation!"

Xun You stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "I am busy with affairs and have to leave." ”

Liu Yuan nodded slightly, and said: "This time, I haven't entertained you well, and pressed, when you come to Youzhou next time, this king will definitely be a guide and introduce Yuyang to you." ”

After that, Xun You and the others bowed to Zheng Xuan, Pang Degong and other old-timers to say goodbye.

Cai Yong looked at Gu Yong, who was solemnly kowtowing to him, and couldn't help but sigh slightly. Gu Yong is his student, but now they are on different sides of the world, each belonging to a different force, how can he not let Cai Yong be entangled? It's a pity that the matter has come to this point, so I can only give up with a few words of encouragement.

Then, Zhang Zhao also came to Gu Yong's side and said a few words to him, but asked Gu Yong to bring some words and greetings to Zhang Hong.

As for Xun Yu, he stood with Xun Yu.

"Uncle, aren't you going back to the Central Plains?" Xun You looked forward to it.

How much he wanted to pull Uncle Xun Yu into Cao Ying's chariot, but unfortunately he was busy with affairs before, and this time he saw what Uncle meant, but he was unwilling to leave Youzhou immediately, which made him quite entangled in his heart - with the person of King Yuyang, Uncle may not be able to escape from the palm of his hand!

Xun Yu shook his head slightly: "I want to stay in Youzhou for a while, and ask your seniors for knowledge, you can go back." ”

Xun You sighed, turned around and left

At this point, the World Academic Exchange Conference has come to an end.

The scholars' knowledge has made great progress in just half a month, and the major princes have also explored a lot of 'inside information' from Youzhou, and Liu Yuan has also obtained what he thinks about at night.

Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin, Sima Yi

These Zhengtai and young people were all arranged to enter Youzhou College for further study.

At the same time, a large number of outstanding scholars are willing to stay in Youzhou, or enter the government, become officials, or enter the academy and become professors.

Youzhou's strength and heritage have multiplied within half a month.

Liu Yuan's fame is even more like Zhongtian!

The weather gradually got hotter, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Sima Yi, the three little Zhengtai, carried their schoolbags, left the academy, and came to the central square with their blazing voices.

"Little Ryoko, are you really going to do this?"

Pang Tong was very surprised.

"Yes." Zhuge Liang nodded coolly: "I am determined to become a mercenary, exercise in this summer vacation, it is best to be promoted to a fifth-level mercenary, establish a mercenary group, Xiao Yizi also agreed!" What, Brother Tong, are you scared? ”

"How so!" Pang Tong hurriedly shook his head and denied: "I'll be afraid?" It's simply impossible! ”

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi immediately had an expression of 'I don't believe it', which made Pang Tong extremely annoyed.

"Go and go, register as a mercenary right away!" Pang Tong snorted and strode into the Mercenary Guild. Behind him, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi smiled and followed.

It's early June, and it's getting hot.

In the backyard of the palace, Liu Yuan and Cai Yan sat under the big tree, with three women, Yu Linglong, Diao Chan and Zhang Ning, accompanied by one side, and Zhen Mi and Qiao Ying and Qiao Yu were kicking the shuttlecock on the side.

Liu Yuan stroked Cai Yan's bulging belly, and his face was full of smiles.

Cai Yan has been pregnant since November last year, and it has been eight months now, and in two months, she will give birth to a prince. The current Cai Yan, with a shiny pretty face, a quiet surname in the United States, mixed with a trace of the brilliance of the mother's surname, the whole person looks much more mature.

At this time, Liu's mother came over.

"Mother."

Liu Yuan got up and saluted with the girls.

"For my mother, I want to take Zhao Ji to live outside the city for some time." Mother Liu smiled kindly: "You are a big man, and you are very busy, let your mother take care of it." ”

Liu Yuan nodded yes.

"I'll go too!" Zhen Mi and Qiao Yu jumped over, one of them put their arms around Liu's mother, and said with a smile.

"Okay, all go, all go!"

Mother Liu smiled.
