When Hu Hai came to the council hall, the five auxiliary ministers of the cabinet and the twelve servants of the six departments of the DPRK and the central government had been waiting in the council hall for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Naturally, it was impossible for them to know the content of the letter from the Longwei Mansion, but it was summoned by Hu Hai.

Since the Battle of Jiuyuan, the Huns, who have been invading the northwestern frontier of Great Qin for more than a hundred years, have no ability to go south after their vitality was greatly injured and they lost the Wolf Juxu Mountain, where the royal court was located.

In the battle of Pingyi County, because of the timely rescue of Menghao Jiuyuan's army, coupled with the fact that Hu Zhong was also desperate, it was a desperate gamble, which completely extinguished the extravagant hope of Mao Dun and taking advantage of the situation to recapture Wolf Juxu Mountain.

Under the circumstance that the Yueshi people were driven out of the western frontier of Great Qin in advance by Maodun, the Qiang people were raided by the Great Qin raiding team, and more than 100,000 troops were dispatched to clear out the night attack in Longxi, the entire northwest frontier of Great Qin was unprecedentedly stable in the past three years.

The people of Jiuyuan, Longxi, and Beidi no longer have to live their lives in fear.

Relatively speaking, this attack on Beacon City in Hexi County should be the first time in the past three years that Great Qin has been invaded by alien forces.

Although Hu Hai already has some outlines in his mind about this matter, since the Cabinet Office has been established, the power of governance has been promised, and the power will continue to be delegated to the Cabinet Office in the future, it is naturally impossible for it to exist only as an ornament, and the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee cannot just exist as a microphone.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" When the ministers saw Hu Hai appear, they said in unison.

"No need to be polite!" Hu Hai waved his hand and sat down on the top of the main hall. "Do you have a conclusion on the matter of Beacon City?"

Hearing Hu Hai's question, all the important ministers were immediately silent.

They hadn't received any news before, but they still came to this council hall and the cold female commander of Longwei Mansion introduced the situation, only to know that a city called Bijia City in Hexi County, thousands of miles away, had been attacked.

It's just that I don't even know who the attacker is, so isn't it too early to say whether there is a conclusion or not?

Hu Hai saw that the five old ministers of the cabinet, including Wei Yi, Feng Quji, and Ying Teng, were silent and muttered slightly, as if he remembered something, he raised his head and said: "Come on, present the information collected by the Longwei Mansion to all your lords." ”

In today's era, even the one-third of an acre of land under one's own rule is not well managed. Who still has the heart to pay attention to those small alien states that are thousands of miles away from Great Qin.

Even the troubles of Great Qin, the Xiongnu royal court that had been at war for many years, was not clear to Great Qin. Not to mention the many small countries in the Western Regions, which are more remote and remote than the Huns.

Of course, even if the Qin people want to pay attention to the countries of the Western Regions, they still need information, right?

The information collected by the so-called Dragon Guard Mansion naturally cannot be true.

Most of the previous focus of the Longwei Mansion was the Xiongnu, the Yue Clan, and the Qiang Clan, which were entrenched in the northwestern frontier of Great Qin, and had not yet been able to cross the territory of these alien races and directly enter the more distant Western Regions to collect information about these small countries.

Therefore, the information for this act was actually written down by Hu Hai through his own memory a long time ago, ready to be used for later use. After all. If Great Qin wants to continue westward. Then the many small countries around the Tarim Basin must be the first target to be addressed.

This time the attack on Beacon City. After the message for help was sent to Yumen Pass, the secret agents of the Longwei Mansion who were in Yumen Pass sent the news even earlier than Su Jiao's messenger who rushed to Guanzhong.

However, in seven or eight hours, the red letter had already been delivered to Xianyang, and the messenger of Su Jiao, the general of Wuwei of Hexi County, who passed on the military information, was afraid that it would not be until at least five days later to reach Guanzhong.

At the expense of a huge amount of manpower and financial resources, it took several years to establish an information transmission channel for the Longwei Mansion that encompassed almost the entire Great Qin. It's finally starting to pay off.

In the emperor's study, Cao Shen led a group of palace maids to send the prepared materials about the countries of the Western Regions to Wei Yu and other important ministers.

As the materials arrived, the council hall gradually fell silent.

After half a ring, Wei Yu was the first to put down the thin pieces of paper in his hand, "Your Majesty is saying that the attack on Hexi was caused by these small countries in the Western Regions?" ”

When the ministers heard Wei Yu's voice, they put down the papers in their hands and listened attentively.

No one doubted the authenticity of what was written on these thin pieces of paper, and countless experiences had proved that the information of the Dragon Guard Mansion rarely seemed to be wrong or missing. And the emperor himself seems to know even more about places outside the territory of Great Qin than about Longwei Mansion.

"If it is not bad as expected, it should be the work of this small country in the Western Regions near Hexi County." Hu Hai nodded.

Around Hexi County, when the Yue clan and the Qiang people have been driven away, it seems that only those small countries in the Western Regions may strike first without figuring out the strength of Great Qin.

Of course, this does not rule out the reason why some people add oil and vinegar to it. And this person seems to be possible with the Yueshi, Xiongnu, Wusun, and Qiang people bordering the Western Regions.

It's just that what Hu Hai didn't understand was that most of these small countries in the Western Regions were only a county in Great Qin, how could they have such great courage to take the initiative to attack the frontier of Great Qin. Isn't that the rhythm of looking for shi?

It was expected that the Jiuyuan Army in Beacon City would inevitably suffer some losses, but this incident also gave Daqin an excuse. An excuse to march into the Western Regions and take the Western Regions in the future.

However, even if there is no such thing as today, the Great Qin of the Western Regions will inevitably enter the Western Regions. Power is axiom, needless to say, it is already common in later generations, and it seems to be even more common in this Great Qin today.

The only thing that needs to be considered is how strong this power needs to be. Like the Han Dynasty, continue to retain the original rule of the kings of those small countries in the Western Regions, and use garrisons to rule nominally, or directly destroy the royal family and directly merge into Great Qin, and set up the county and county institutions of Great Qin.

From the bottom of his heart, Hu Hai prefers the latter. But killing people is not the solution. Hu Hai didn't want to make the people of the Western Regions hostile to Great Qin by killing these royal families, or to leave a chaotic mess in the Western Regions for Great Qin.

After all, the countries of the Western Regions were a little too far away from the central land of Great Qin. The rebellion is not terrible, what is terrible is the army needed to quell the rebellion and the supplies that the army needs, the long supply line may not be able to shake the foundation of Great Qin for a while, but in the long run, the hatred will only get deeper and deeper, and eventually it will evolve into a time bomb buried in the northwest frontier of Great Qin.

Rebellion, counterinsurgency, rebellion, rebellion again. So repeatedly, why did Great Qin occupy the Western Regions?

Fortunately, this Beacon City incident can be regarded as a fair and honest excuse for Hu Hai to enter the Western Regions for liquidation in the future. (To be continued......)
