Chapter 592: Dividing the Kings
The military advisor sacrificed Guo Jiajin said: "Your Majesty, the water source of Kangju Country is insufficient, and many places are covered by deserts, if our army marches hundreds of thousands of people on a large scale, once it loses water and food, the consequences are unimaginable, and the minister suggests dividing the troops in turn, so that if the front army encounters difficulties, the rear army can immediately support and avoid the dangerous area!" ”
Sun Ce, the general of Dingxi, said: "The minister is willing to lead the army to advance in the direction of Rome!" ”
Zhou Cangdao, the general of the expedition to the west: "The minister is willing to lead the army to the south to attack the Dayue clan!" ”
Pingxi General Chen Zhi said: "The minister is willing to lead the army to the west and chase the Huns!" ”
Yuan Yao nodded, he already had an idea in his heart, so he ordered someone to take out a simple map of the West, this map was made by combining some merchants who had been to Rome and Yuan Yao's memories of Europe, there were only some rough outlines on it, but this was enough.

"In the past few days, I have also been thinking about one thing, this is going west, thousands of miles in radius, it is difficult to convey the military order in time, and the territory that has been attacked is mainly used for dividing the seal, so I decided to divide the seal first today, which is also conducive to the actions of the army!" Yuan Yaodao.
"Your Majesty!! That's not what the ministers meant!! Sun Ce, Zhou Cang, and Chen Zhisan were shocked when they heard this, looked at each other, and knelt down to ask for guilt!
"Your Majesty!?" Guo Jia didn't expect Yuan Yao to suddenly make such a decision, but it seems that apart from doubts, Guo Jia can't find a reason to oppose it.
"Don't worry, three brothers, I really want to divide the seal!! Hurry up and take a look at the map! Yuan Yao said with a smile.
The third general was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to get up, so Yuan Yao had to order again: "This is an order, do you want to disobey my order now?" ”
Sun Ce, Zhou Cang, and Chen Zhi had to surround as ordered, Guo Jia, Yang Wu also surrounded, and a total of six people, including Yuan Yao, sat around the map.
Yuan Yao picked up a pen, circled a small circle on the map, and said: "This is where our army is stationed now, Lake Balkhash, to the south is Hezhou, and to the east is Gyeongju." ”
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Yuan Yao directly drew a horizontal straight line to Rome, and in addition to land, this straight line also strung together the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean.
"From here to Rome, even if you take the nearest road, there are more than 10,000 miles, and it takes more than ten days to run non-stop on the fastest horse!!"
After speaking, Yuan Yao drew a vertical straight line, which was almost like a big cross with the horizontal straight line, dividing the entire west into four pieces!
"No matter what kingdom this was before, from now on, this radius of thousands of miles will be named Beizhou, Xizhou, Neizhou and Zhongzhou respectively, the Xizhou where Rome is located will belong to Bofu, the Zhongzhou where the Dayue clan is located will belong to Yuanfu, the north of Kangju will belong to Shuzhi, and the farthest Beizhou will be divided equally by Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi!"
"I will make Sun Ce the king of the west, Zhou Cang the king of the middle, Chen Zhi the king of the interior, Yuan Tan the king of the north, and Yuan Xi the king of Ying!" Yuan Yao said loudly.
Sun Ce, Zhou Cang, and Chen Zhi were immediately moved to tears when they heard this, knelt on the ground again, and thanked them loudly.
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Don't be too happy too early, although I will canonize you as kings, these lands need to be conquered by you!" And there is one more important task!! I'm going to build a road from here to the westernmost coast! This avenue will be the dividing line of the four states, and within fifty miles of the north and south of the avenue, it will be under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family! ”
The three generals are overjoyed and bow down again and again!
Yuan Yao also sighed in his heart, "This may be the best result for the second and third brothers, after all, if you stay in the Central Plains, at most you can only be a state pastor, it is better to let them stay in the West, which can not only help me rule the West, but also be the king and live like an emperor!" The most important thing is that they can work harder for their own interests to sinicize the alien races in the West! ”
Transportation is undoubtedly the most important, Yuan Yao never wants to move forward so difficult after the unification of the West, building the road is only the first step, in the future, Yuan Yao will build a railway along this road, and there is a hundred miles of direct jurisdiction from north to south of the road, and the economy of the entire West will be concentrated in this road!
Therefore, on the surface, Yuan Yao sealed off the West, but as long as this avenue is built and troops are stationed in sections, the entire West will still be in the hands of the royal family!
This avenue is not just what Yuan Yao said at present, in the future, after the unification of the west, Yuan Yao will continue to build the eastern section, the eastern section will start from here, all the way to the easternmost Pingzhou, to the east coast, after completion, the entire avenue will be more than 20,000 miles long!
The next day, after carving the king's seal, Yuan Yao took the stage to seal the five kings, Sun Ce, Zhou Cang, and Chen Zhijun's cheers shook the sky, and after the queen, Yuan Yao ordered his henchmen to send Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's royal seals to calm Yuan's heart.
Yuan Shang was not crowned king because he was the pastor of Bingzhou, and the families of the three Yuan also stayed in Bingzhou, in addition, each family had protons living in Pingyu City.
After being crowned king, Sun Ce and Chen Zhi successively led their troops westward, and Zhou Cang also led their troops to the south.
April 2, 2nd year of China
Zhou Cang attacked the Lan City of the Dayue Clan, and in just one day, he captured the Lan City and welcomed Yuan Yao to settle in.
The lord of the Kushan Empire, Hubisega II, who was established by the Dayue clan, sent an envoy to meet Yuan Yao, sending a large number of pearls and beauties, and asking for peace with the Dazhong Empire.
Yuan Yao did not directly agree, nor did he refuse, but ordered him to wait for news.
Zhiyue secretly sent a report that Hu Bisega II was incompetent, and the Kushan Empire was strong on the surface, and it was one of the three major Western powers along with Rome and Anxi, but there was already a split within it.
Zhongwang Zhou Cang said: "Your Majesty, although the Dayue Clan has declined, its strength cannot be underestimated, and the Dayue Clan has Han blood, the best way is to attack from within, as long as it can kill the king and royal family of the Kushan Empire, and then use the policy of Zhao'an, you can easily annex the Kushan Empire!" ”
Yuan Yao also agreed with Zhou Cang's proposal, if he could first subdue a part of the Dayue clan and then annex the Kushan Empire, he could get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost.
What's more important is that the news from the front line that the Huns were indeed implementing the tactics of Sanguang, and wherever they passed, they not only robbed all the food, but also took away all the people, even if Yuan Yao's army wanted to grow food, there was no way.
Yuan Yao decided to let the Chinese army stop first, if they could easily annex the Dayue clan and rely on the Dayue clan's food, all this would no longer be a problem.
Lan's City, located on the Silk Road, over the Green Ridge, is Hezhou, where Xu Shu is leading the troops.
"Spread my will, and during the period of stationing in Lan City, encourage all soldiers to take local women as wives! But if there is a success, each person will be rewarded with a hundred silver coins! On the day after Yuan Yao made his decision, he immediately made an order.
Yang Wu asked, "My lord, what about the beauties who paid tribute to Hu Bisega II?" ”
Yuan Yao said: "I'm worried that there are assassins secretly sent by Hu Bisega II among these beauties, but until we confirm it, we must not reveal the news!" In a while, you bring a few guards over, and let's go test it together! (To be continued.) )
