These states all seem to have tried their best to avoid contact with the Wei Empire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

These five small countries are not at peace with each other, sometimes allied with each other and sometimes attacking, and at present these five small countries are divided into two major factions, the two countries in the east and the central and the three countries in the south.

It's far away, let's get down to business.

Hilpa stroked his sideburns very amorous and asked with some grief, "Your Majesty, do you hate me?" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to be sarcastic, but fortunately he thought of the role of this queen in time, and said with a smile: "Of course not, but An Lehou is a married woman after all, so it's a bit of a loss!" ”

Seeing Cao Cao say this, Hilpa had no choice but to say, "Then the subordinate will not disturb Your Majesty!" Ying Ying bowed, stared at Cao Cao, and retreated.

Chang'an Imperial Palace.

Cao Le was riding Xiao Ash to spread joy by the lake in the imperial garden, and a large group of palace maids and guards followed behind, everyone looked frightened, worried that Her Royal Highness the princess, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, would fall.

"Lele, stop!" A beautiful female voice came not far from Cao Le's right.

Cao Lexun followed the prestige, and saw that the sisters were coming, so he couldn't help but be cautious, and hurriedly restrained Xiao Ash, who was running happily.

The palace maid guards who followed behind couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this.

Cao Le jumped to the ground, ran to Mi'er and Diao Chan, and shouted sweetly: "Sister Mi'er, Sister Cicada, Sister Tong'er!" General Cao Le called everyone present.

Diao Chan wiped Cao Le's sweat with an embroidered handkerchief, "Lele, don't be so foolish anymore!" If you don't let Your Majesty know,"

Cao Le was startled, and hurriedly bit Diao Chan's sleeve and begged: "Sister Cicada, don't tell your father to know!" ”

The women couldn't help but purse their lips and smile.

Zhen Mi nodded Cao Le's forehead, "You kid, you really look like Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Le proudly shook his two pigtails and said, "Of course!" ”

The women couldn't help but laugh.

Mihuan Zhengse asked, "Lele, have you done your homework today?" ”

When Cao Cao and Cai Yan were not available, Mihuan was in charge of Cao Le's homework.

Cao Le lowered his head and hesitated.

Seeing her like this, the women suddenly understood.

Mi Huan said angrily: "You must finish your homework after eating later!" ”

"Oh! Got it! "It's not very interesting.

"Lele, come back with us!" Diao Chan said.

"Oh!" Cao Le nodded, and followed Diao Chan and them out of the Imperial Garden.

Let's turn our gaze back to Kushan.

After Cao Cao occupied Dongguishan, he carried out some necessary reforms to Dongguishan, dividing the entire Dongguishan into three major provinces, namely Beigu Province, Nanfu Province, and Dong'an Province, and the establishment of these three provinces also marked that the Wei Empire wanted to control this area by itself; appoint local people of Han Chinese descent or Han Chinese as local magistrates, and at the same time include the local people in the imperial examination system; The exemption from unnecessary taxes on the common people, the reduction of local commercial taxes, and the increase in taxes imposed on these two groups during the reign of Yueduo to compete with the Wei Empire, made the burden on the common people and merchants very heavy, and recognized the ownership of local land by the local aristocracy, but strictly forbade the free purchase and sale of land.

Cao Cao looked at the document in his hand, which was an overview of the local area of Dongguishan and the five southeastern countries.

Li Jun walked into the back hall and saw that Cao Cao was concentrating on reading the official documents, so he stood quietly under the hall.

After a while, Cao Cao put down the official document in his hand, saw Li Jun, and smiled: "Oh, you're here!" When did it come? ”

Li Jun hugged his fists and said, "Just came!" Seeing that His Majesty is taking care of business, he doesn't dare to disturb! ”

Cao Cao smiled, stood up and walked in front of Li Jun. Li Jun lowered his head slightly.

"Li Aiqing, take a walk with me!"

"Yes!"

Cao Cao walked on the cobblestone road in the back garden, and Li Jun followed, although it was late autumn, the scenery here was still good, after all, this was once the royal capital of the Kushan Empire.

"Li Aiqing, I heard that your ancestor is a family member of Ban Chao's subordinates?"

Li Jun nodded, "Yes!" At that time, the ancestor followed General Ban Chao to the Western Regions, and because of some accidental changes, he stayed here and took root! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "That era is an exciting era!" ”

Li Jun nodded thoughtfully, hugged his fists and said, "But it can't be compared to this dynasty at all!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand, "It's different!" ”

Cao Cao stopped, "I want you to be in charge of commanding all the alien armies in the area!" ”

Li Jun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is still young, I'm just afraid"

Cao Cao turned around, patted Li Jun on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be humble! I know your abilities very well, and the whole army knows your deeds very well! Moreover, this time to pacify the civil strife in Western Guishan, and together with Bofu, he swept the western provinces of Eastern Guishan, which can be described as a great achievement! No one will have an opinion on letting you sit in this position! Now the question is whether you want it or not? Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you! ”

Li Jun hesitated for a moment and bowed: "If Your Majesty can trust the last general, the last general is willing to take this position!" ”

Cao Cao picked up Li Jun and patted Li Jun on the shoulder, "Okay!" From today on, you will be the Dingbian Marquis and Dingbian General of my Great Wei Empire! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jun thanked excitedly.

Cao Cao walked along the cobblestone path. "The size of the army in the entire Kushan region is tentatively set at 200,000 people, and the advance funds will be allocated by the imperial court, and your temporary task is to form an army and train!"

Cao Cao stopped, turned around, and admonished: "Remember, the quality of the source of soldiers must be paid attention to, and it is better to have a shortage than an excess!" Also, it's better to have Han Chinese ancestry! ”

"Yes!"

Cao Cao smiled and asked, "What do you think of General Tai Shici?" ”

Li Jun was stunned for a moment and replied: "General Tai Shici is straightforward and heroic, true temperament!" ”

Cao Cao smiled, "What if I let him be your deputy?" ”

Li Jun hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, how can General Tai Shici be my deputy, it's almost the same when it turns around!" ”

Cao Cao patted Li Jun on the shoulder and smiled, "You don't have to be too humble!" General Tai Shi Ci is good at fighting on the battlefield, and you are even better at strategizing! And your relationship is good! Still have questions? ”

Li Jun clenched his fists and said: "If General Tai Shici is willing, of course the last general can't ask for it!" ”

Cao Cao spent three days in Pangeng, the capital of the Eastern Guishan King, and explained all the affairs properly.

Cao Cao left the right battalion and forward battalion of the 11th Army Corps and the forward battalion and left battalion of the Fifth Army Corps to rest on the spot, while he led most of the Fifth Army Corps, most of the Eleventh Army Corps, the Twelfth Army Corps, most of the former Li Army's Xizhen Army, and the Flying Tiger Army, hundreds of thousands of troops, to the northwest.

At present, the situation in the west and the north is very tense, and the armies of both sides are pressed on the border line, and there is a possibility of a major war breaking out at any time.

At this time, Dawan's envoy had arrived at the Green Ridge Fortress, and all the Dawan armies had already retreated back to the royal city.

Now Dawan is trembling, not knowing how to deal with the situation in front of him. They are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Three days later, Cao Cao led his army into the capital of Anxi.

Dawan's messenger caught up with them.

Cao Cao glanced at the guy in front of him and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?" ”

The envoy hurriedly bowed and said, "On behalf of the whole country, I would like to express my most sincere apologies to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Excuse me?"

"Your Majesty, why bother with these capricious villains! Drag it out and cut it off! Dian Wei shouted with an indignant face.

The generals roared.

The messenger was so frightened that he prostrated his head again and again, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Cao Cao signaled for everyone to be quiet, glanced at the messengers who were lying on the ground with their butts pouting, and couldn't help but pity them, "You go back and tell King Dawan that if he is willing to go to Chang'an as a hostage, I may be able to consider your request!" ”

The messenger was stunned, "This, this"

Cao Cao waved his hand, and the two Dawan envoys who were about to say something about the Imperial Forest Army went out.

"Your Majesty, why should you let them go? With Dawan's strength, we can pinch them to death with one finger! Xu Chu asked puzzled.

Many generals also showed puzzled expressions.

Xiahou Yuan pondered: "Your Majesty, is it because of the Jin people and the Romans in front of you?" ”

Cao Cao nodded, "This is one of the reasons!" There is an even more important reason, we have just destroyed the Eastern Guishan and incorporated it directly into the territory of the Empire! Although we have a reason in this matter, the countries of the Western Regions will definitely be terrified! ”

Everyone is not stupid, and everyone understands when they hear Cao Cao say this.

The Wei army was able to go on an expedition so far, completely because it had the support of the Western Regions and the Western Regions Protectorate, if the Western Regions were completely chaotic, the Wei army would not say that it would be good to be able to keep the territory it had just conquered!

Cao Cao ordered the generals: "The army is here for the time being!" Let's see the reaction of the Roman side and the Jin side! ”

"No!"

Caracalla was in a dilemma, the army was already in place, and all kinds of preparations before the attack had been completed, but the current situation had changed, the Eastern Guishan had fallen, and the hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Wei army could be transferred to any direction, if these armies were transferred to the western front, the numerical superiority of the Roman army would no longer exist, and with the combat effectiveness of the Roman army, it would not be able to compete with the Wei army under the condition of equal strength.

"What a sudden change in one day!" Caracalla sighed.

"Your Majesty, I don't think there is any need to hesitate, with our current strength on the border, there is a high possibility of breaking through the Wei army's defensive line!" General Yusuf said in a loud voice.

Caracalla shook his head.

Administrator Thomas said: "The general's arrogance is admirable, but in the current situation, we should not continue with the previous plan!" Because the risk is too great, a bad one may cause irreparable consequences! (To be continued.) )
