Chapter 250: The Right to Relieve the Army in a Few Words (2)
Yumen Pass is the junction of the Great Sui and the Western Regions, and to the west is the conceptual border of the Great Sui, and Li Xin is now stopping at the Yumen Pass. In his previous life, he did not come to Yumen Pass, even if he arrived at Yumen Pass, I am afraid that it is very different from today's Yumen Pass.
At this time, the Yumen Pass is not the same as the Yumen Pass of the Han Dynasty, the site of the pass is moved from the northwest of Dunhuang to the territory of Jinchang County, Guazhou, east of Dunhuang, Li Xin stands on the Yumen Pass, the Hulu River can be clearly seen in the distance, the Hulu River is wide and narrow, the dry waves are very urgent, and the depth cannot be crossed. On the Yumen Pass, to go to the Western Regions, you must pass through the Yumen Pass. Yumen Pass leads to Jiuquan in the east, Dunhuang in the west, Guazhou in the south, and Yizhou in the northwest. And the mountains and rivers are close to each other, and the shape is dangerous. It is surrounded by the top of the mountain, the intersection, the estuary of the key pass beacon towers all over the Yumen Pass, such as alfalfa beacon, chaotic mountain seven beacons and other beacon towers constitute the defense system of the Yumen Pass.
"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. Li Xin stood at the end of the jade gate, looking at the desolation and vastness in the distance, remembering the popular poem before, he couldn't help but open his mouth and recite it.
Huang Puwan was also born in a famous family, after being an important minister of the imperial court, his uncle Huang Puji had been the governor of Suzhou, the governor of Xinzhou, and the military of ten states. At first, he thought that Li Xin deliberately bought the poems of other readers in order to promote himself to expand his influence in Shilin, but now he knows that Li Xin is still a bit level, at least this poem writes the majestic and desolate and lonely scene of Biansai Yumen Pass. It is a psalm of the highest quality.
"General Huangpu, do you think the Western Turks will take the opportunity to make a move?" Li Xin also does not explain who wrote the poem, he is worried about the affairs of the Western Regions, especially the imminent Yiqiē.
"Is the Grand Governor trying to deal with the Tiele people?" Huang Pujuan's family has a pedigree, so he can't get used to Li Xin, because Li Xin is young, he occupies a high position, but in the end, it is the general of the Great Sui, as soon as he heard Li Xin's inquiry, he quickly thought of a possibility, and his face suddenly changed.
"Well, relative to the Western Turks, I decided to deal with Tiele first." Li Xin turned around and arched his hand and said: "The general is from the Huangpu family, and I also ask the general to help Li Xin for the sake of the imperial court, the land of the Western Regions itself is related to the stability of the northwest of the imperial court, and Li Xin was ordered by the emperor to run the Western Regions, just to give the Central Plains a stable Western Regions." The Western Turks are no match for them now with tens of thousands of our troops, and they can only deal with the Western Turks after a few years. ”
"The Grand Governor wants to use the power of the Western Turks to join forces to destroy Tiele?" Huang Puwan felt Li Xin's madness even more, at first he thought that Li Xin was just thinking about getting benefits from Gao Changguo, or like declaring his martial arts, but now he knew that Li Xin, a young man, was too bold, not only to take Gao Chang into his pocket, but also to deal with Tiele.
You must know that the nation of Tiele and the Turks are not clear, and have a great relationship, the Great Sui often fights with Tiele, and even unites the Western Turks, but in fact the effect is not much, until now, Gaochang and other countries are still hooking up with the Western Turks and Tiele, and each time the tribute is mastered three points. Tiele's cavalry numbered as many as 100,000, and like the Western Turks, they were all soldiers. If Li Xin wants to deal with Tieler, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time and energy, and I don't even know if I can complete it. This can only be said that Li Xin's courage is too great, he has only been in the Western Regions for a long time, and he has not really stabilized down, so he will make a move on the Western Regions.
However, after all, Li Xin still has the support of the imperial court behind him, although there are relatively few soldiers and horses left in Lanzhou, but those Qiang people still dare not move, which is an important reason why Li Xin brought out all the troops.
"What does the Metropolitan want me to do?" Huang Puwan lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said. At this time, he understood why Li Xin wanted to bring him to the tower of Yumen Gate, and his feelings were that he had something to tell him.
"I want the general to go to Gaochangguo." Li Xin put his hands behind his back and said: "The situation of Gaochang Kingdom is relatively unique, it is an important link for us, if Gaochang Kingdom is not destroyed, there will be loopholes in our Western Regions, after all, this place is too far away from us, these countries have their own affairs, although they submit to my Great Sui, but the Great Sui cannot interfere too much, so there will be a situation where Gaochang Kingdom will also pay tribute to Tiele and the Western Turks, if these countries are all counties of my Great Sui, do the Western Turks or Tiele have the courage to ask my Great Sui to pay tribute?" Now that the country of Gaochang is chaotic, the pressure on the people is very heavy, and the people are not happy, I Li Xin entered the country of Gaochang, and it is also for the people of Gaochang to consider! ”
Huang Puwan felt disdain for a while, this Li Xin is so shameless, he wants to occupy Gaochang, and he still finds such a reason, it is really shameless to the extreme. It's just that what Li Xin said is very reasonable, with Gaochang and these countries, the Western Turks have all kinds of reasons to interfere in the countries of the Western Regions, after all, the Great Sui has no control over those places, giving the Western Turks a lot of room to operate, if these countries are all counties of the Great Sui, the Western Turks do not have the courage.
"To Gaochangguo?" However, after Huang Puwan heard Li Xin's request, he was bitter, now Gao Changguo doesn't know what happened, maybe he has already fallen into a rebellion, Li Xin let him in, the biggest possibility is to let him do the internal response, the inside should be the external combination, although Gao Changguo is very weak, but there are thousands of soldiers and horses, want to create chaos, it is very difficult to receive the army into the city.
"I'll let my guards go in with you." Li Xin comforted.
Huang Pujuan listened to this and calmed down a little in his heart, Li Xin's personal guards he had seen, a murderous aura as black as ink, which made people feel frightened when they saw it, obviously this is not a group of guards, but a group of dead soldiers, dead soldiers who specialize in killing people, let these people enter Gaochang Kingdom, Huang Puwan is very sure.
"Then what will you do in there?" Huang Puwan said in a low voice.
"Benhou has a Gong Cao in the city, you can go to an inn, he should be in the Tianzi room, what can you do, he will sue you." Li Xin took out an iron plate from his arms, handed it to Huang Puwan and said: "When the matter of Gaochang is resolved, if the general stays in the Western Regions, Benhou will not hesitate to thank him, and if he is willing to return to the Central Plains, Benhou will play the Son of Heaven and reward the general's merits." What does the general think? ”
"The last will obey." Huang Puwan smiled bitterly in his heart, although Li Xin said very peacefully, but Huang Puwan had no choice, Li Xin transferred himself, on the one hand, to let himself serve his life, and the second was for the 10,000 soldiers he brought, Li Xin will take these 10,000 people as his own in a very short period of time, and completely include them in the sequence of the Western Army, and have his own stay here, which is not conducive to his plan. However, fortunately, Li Xin's conditions are still very tempting.
