Pan Jun and Liu Min led their warriors and retinue officials to rest in peace only a few days ago, and before they could figure out their location, they were sold by the group of Xiang Kou in the Western Regions, and they were inexplicably sold to the slave traders who rested in peace. They were locked in cages and humiliated for many days, but in the end, Liu Min came up with a way to lure the local noble consuls into appearing under the pretext that they were looking for a large amount of treasure.

When they met with the noble consuls, they told them that the clues were in the confiscated packages, and that they had to struggle to find their lost property. As a result, not only did they not get any clues, but they saw the scepter and documents granted by Wang Xu in the name of the King of Chu of the Great Han Dynasty!

The nobleman planned to kill them at that time to avoid more trouble, but Liu Min and Pan Jun were already prepared, and said loudly and confidently: "We are on the order of the regent of the Han Dynasty to help rest against foreign enemies, we do not care about the estrangement caused by misunderstandings, but please do not take any further measures, otherwise rest not only will not get strong reinforcements, I am afraid that we will set up a stronger enemy." ”

In recent years, although the powerful people who rested in peace knew that the Han was fighting a civil war, but they were not very clear about the specific situation, under the clever words of Pan Jun and Liu Min, they did not dare to be contemptuous, and after weighing the pros and cons, they still reported the matter, after all, they knew that the Han had defeated the strong Huns, and they had lingering fears about their strength, and at the same time, the situation of internal and external troubles also made them have been eager for assistance.

Soon, Pan Jun and the others were sent to meet the resting emperor Artabon V.

Unexpectedly, then Altabang was very clever and bought a servant with beauty and wealth. And learned about the current situation of the Han from his mouth.

That's not a big deal. Altabang believes that it has been deceived. They were to be burned alive on the spot.

In the end, Pan Jun and Liu Min had to make a promise in a hurry, saying that they did have a way to help rest against foreign enemies, and that sooner or later they would be unified with the Han Dynasty, and that if they died, it would also cause the Han Dynasty's hatred of the rest and many other reasons, which influenced Altabang's decision.

After that, Altabang temporarily pardoned them, but asked them to come up with a way to help them as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be executed immediately, and at the same time, out of scruples about the big Han, they will also block the news and not allow anyone to spread their affairs, which can be described as house arrest.

In this situation, Pan Jun and Liu Min had no choice but to do their best to assist the rest of the people in the battle.

Under persecution, the two slowly discovered that Anxi had a strong military force, but their way of war was completely different from that of the East, and they focused on one trick to eat all over the world. In short, what is strong is used, relying on the talent and intelligence of the general. But there is simply not a real system and system of the art of war.

At first, the Sabbatarians didn't believe them very much, and tried in some small-scale wars, but they didn't think that it would really work wonders, and they won many battles, and many times the enemy was burned clean before they even saw the people on their side, which made them very excited.

Gradually, the two of them became more and more valued by the Sabbatarians, and even shocked as gods, but the two said that their military talents were insignificant in the Han Dynasty, which could be described as a big blow, and even boasted to the point that they themselves felt mysterious, which directly made the Sabbatarians full of reverence and fear for the mysterious East.

The rest people are more direct than the Orientals, they will show off if they have talents, and the better ones will tell the truth, but they will never belittle themselves for no reason, modesty and modesty are not their culture, so in their eyes, how can people like Pan Jun and Liu Min belittle themselves and brag about others? Therefore, I am extremely convinced!

In fact, Pan Jun and Liu Min are very sober and know that the reason why they are so successful is largely because the other party does not understand this ever-changing mode of war, but it does not mean that the other party is weak, those outstanding generals also have enough intelligence and intelligence, and the military force itself is also very strong.

In this kind of prudence, the two of them continued to study the military culture of the West, took what they learned as the program, absorbed the advantages of the West, and continued to study and explore, and finally gradually became more and more proficient, and the victories they achieved became more and more brilliant, and they were revered as the god of war from the East by the people of Anxi.

Alta values them very much, and in addition to restricting freedom, it can be said that they want what they want.

Slowly, the two began to qualify for conditions, and finally, after deliberate planning, forced Altabang to promise in public that if they repelled the attack of the Roman expeditionary force in the east and destroyed the newly rising Sassanid Empire, they would be freed, and they would make friends with the Han Dynasty, and no longer set foot in the Western Regions, forming an alliance.

Both Pan Jun and Liu Min knew that the better they behaved, the greater Artabang's scruples about the Han Dynasty, and the less daring they dared to act indiscriminately, the greater their hope of achieving their goals, so they threw themselves on assisting the Rest Empire in the war from then on.

The newly rising Sassanid Dynasty is easy to do, after all, it was originally a part of rest, but it broke away with its strength, and it was inferior in strength, but Ardashir I of the Sassanid Dynasty was a great personal talent, and the advantage they now have is just to restrain this kind of person.

In just three or four years, the Sassanid Empire was overwhelmed by the army of Sabbath and reverted to Alta's rule. This powerful dynasty, which was supposed to be extinguished and fought against the Roman Empire and then the Byzantine Empire, was strangled in its cradle and ended before it could develop.

The really difficult battlefield took place between the eastern legions of the Roman Empire, Pan Jun and Liu Min in the rest can be said to have greatly increased their knowledge, the strength of the Roman Empire army caused them great trouble, fortunately during this period of Rome civil strife was frequent, the strength was greatly weakened.

In 222, the de facto ruler of Rome, Julia. Misa killed the emperor Elbagalus and set up a fourteen-year-old grandson, Alexander. With Severus as emperor, Rome faced a new round of power change, and the Eastern Expeditionary Force completely gave up attacking and resting.

Since then, Pan Jun and Liu Min have fulfilled all their promises, but Altabang is reluctant to let them go immediately, to be precise, hoping that they will leave their knowledge behind. Because he saw the power of the two in the war.

Of course, the two did not want to rest in peace to obtain the core knowledge of the East, and in order to deal with Altabang, they began to adapt important ancient and modern military strategies such as "The Art of War" and "Liutao".

But in fact, in the Chinese cultural habits, there is room everywhere, emphasizing relative rather than absolute, mutual restraint, and making things up can also be reasonable.

After nearly a year of delay, Altabang was finally satisfied, and promised not to interfere in the affairs of the Western Regions, and at the same time asked them to bring many valuable specialties as gifts for friendship with the Han Dynasty, and hoped to strengthen ties with the Han in the future.

As for Yang Aruo, he followed the clues of the two all the way in the Western Regions, and it took a long time to arrive at Anxi, but he didn't think about the plan of the Anxie, tricked him into meeting him, and was also under house arrest, and has been protecting the safety of Pan Jun and Liu Min for many years.

…………

In the palace of the Chu Emperor, as Pan Jun and Liu Min slowly told their legendary experience of ten years, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all admired. After Wang Xu was appeased, he sealed the marquis on the spot to commend the two for their difficult efforts to recover the Western Regions.

It's just that Pan Jun and Liu Min then made a request, hoping to serve as the protector of the Western Regions in the future, which was quite unexpected by Wang Xu.

After careful questioning, they gave their reasons.

After listening to this, Wang Xu also felt that the two of them might be because of their different visions, they don't think that the Western Regions are poor and remote now, but feel that they are a treasure land, and now they are more suitable to manage the Western Regions and promote communication and exchanges between Chu and Western powers. They have spent the most unforgettable ten years doing one thing, and it is obviously difficult to give up in their hearts, and the goals they pursue have changed.

After a brief discussion, he finally agreed to the request of the two, appointing Pan Jun as the left protector of the Western Regions and Liu Min as the right protector of the Western Regions.

Less than two months after this incident, Wang Xu set up the Qinghai-Tibet Metropolitan Protectorate, integrating the western plateau region that had been expanded for more than ten years, no longer under the charge of the western counties of Yizhou, and all of them were under the unified supervision and management of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and dispatched the Pingxi General Ma Chao to personally lead the Western Army to assist, and the full establishment of the system must be completed within three years, and then Ma Chao could withdraw the army, and then the left and right Protectors of the Metropolitan Protectorate were independently in charge of military and political affairs.

Although the Qinghai-Tibet region expanded at this time was still very small, and most of the western areas were wild lands, it was finally a start. After the establishment of the Protectorate, as long as the Chu State is always prosperous, then ten, twenty, thirty years, no matter how many years, as long as it expands little by little, it will always be all integrated.

In the autumn of 223, after the rainy season, the north wind was howling, and Zhou Yu and Lü Meng were ordered to lead their troops across the strait, landed on Yizhou Island, and began to explore and develop Yizhou.

In the spring of 225, the well-prepared state of Chu launched the Fifth Northern Expedition, and Wang Xu personally led a million-strong army, three of which were routed from the Central Plains to Jizhou, and two routes to Yongzhou and the state. After this war lasted for nine months, the main force of Wei and the state was broken by Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

The Chu army then drove straight into Jizhou and killed him.

In November, Sima Yi, who led the army to resist the Chu army in the Central Plains, heard the news and knew that the general trend of the Wei State had gone and there was no room for turnaround, so he decisively gave up resistance and led his troops to surrender.

After that, the Wei state fell apart, and the Chu army launched a final attack in the spring of 226 after more than three months of resting in place. However, the armies of all walks of life were still halfway, but Cao Ang sent an envoy to report and was willing to surrender to promote the final peaceful reunification of China, so that Jizhou, Youzhou and other rich places that Wei had operated for many years would no longer fall into the flames of a decisive battle. Just begged Wang Xu to spare the lives of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan.

Wang Xu also did not want the meaningless war to continue, so he gladly accepted Cao Ang's request, and then issued a holy decree to pardon the two clans, even Cao Ang.

Everything went smoothly, the only regret was that when Wang Xu walked into Yecheng, Cao Ang had already killed himself in the palace hall.

At that moment, Wang Xu stood quietly in front of Cao Ang for a long time, and finally ordered a thick burial! (To be continued......)
