Two days later, a carrier pigeon landed in the Shan Yu Palace in Shunde, and the red dragon pattern symbolizing the emperor's order was tied to the pigeon's legs, so that the officials in charge of receiving the carrier pigeon did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent it to the general of the Huns who was set up in the Shan Yu Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Your Majesty's edict!" As soon as he saw the sealed letterhead wrapped in dragon patterns, Zhi Du immediately took all the officials and knelt down respectfully to burn incense, and then opened the sealed letter, handed it to a military judge who came in a hurry, and said, "Please translate the holy order immediately!" ”

Since carrier pigeons began to be used in the intelligence information transmission system of the Han Dynasty, this fast way of information transmission was immediately discovered to have many security vulnerabilities.

One of the biggest vulnerabilities is the fragility of carrier pigeons.

In the process of transmitting information and intelligence, it is likely to have countless accidents.

For example, encountering predators or being shot by a bear child.

Therefore, general information is transmitted by two carrier pigeons at the same time to prevent accidents, and important information may even be transmitted by five or more carrier pigeons to ensure timely, effective and safe transmission of information.

However, such an approach naturally increases the possibility of leaks.

So, in order to prevent leaks.

Led by the Shaofu and the Prime Minister's Office, the Han family established a simple but complete cryptographic system at the beginning of the sixth year of Yuande.

Since then, all important information has been encrypted.

This encryption is typical of the Oriental method of encryption - all the information, all written in inscriptions.

In this way, except for those who are familiar with the inscription, no one else can understand it at all.

This encryption method may seem simple, but it is very effective.

In an era when the illiteracy rate is over 70 percent, and most people can't even write their own names, how many people can understand the inscriptions engraved on bronze hundreds of years ago?

What's more, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Shaofu also invented many new inscriptions themselves.

In this way, it is ensured that even if these carrier pigeons fall into the hands of the enemy, the enemy will not be able to understand the contents.

This is clearly bullying the opponents of the Han family and humiliating them with civilization!

It didn't take long for the contents of the letter to be translated.

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhi Du also sighed and said, "Shengming has no past Your Majesty......"

Recruit the various departments in the south of the curtain and give them a way out, this matter, Zhi Du has naturally thought about it. But Zhi Du didn't want to do this, and the combined population of the various ministries in the south of the country was nearly one million, and maybe even as many as one and a half million.

If he hadn't gone through the baptism of thunder and used iron and fire to deter him, Zhi Du deeply felt that even if these people were attached, I am afraid that it would be difficult to be stable in the future.

What the Han family wants is a permanent territory, not a group of people who want to make trouble every once in a while.

For Zhidu, Yidi is afraid of power but not virtuous, it is indeed the truth!

But here's the thing - he's just a courtier.

Courtiers take serving the Son of Heaven as their duty, and soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty.

If the edict is issued today, then he should naturally obey the edict.

But......

"Immediately order someone to pass on the south of the Makunan and announce the grace of the son of heaven!" Zhidu ordered: "If you can obey the edict and lead your troops to attach, you will be rewarded!" ”

"No!" Immediately a ruler took the order and departed.

"Get ready for battle!" Zhi Du reflexively said to the others: "Pass on the general's order: Lou Fu Army, Loyal Army, immediately enter a state of war!" ”

"No!" Everyone responded with a bang, and their emotions were high.

Everyone rejoices in being able to fight.

It's just that......

"Your Majesty opened the net, but the general ordered us to prepare for battle immediately...... many people muttered in their hearts: "Shouldn't we wait for a while, and wait until all the ministries have learned of the order of the Son of Heaven and made a choice before acting?" ”

But how did they know that Zhidu was not willing to give too much time to think about it at all.

In Zhidu's eyes, after receiving the edict of the Son of Heaven, if they were loyal ministers and admired the king, they would naturally immediately be grateful, and they would run to hug their thighs.

Seeing the edict, he still hesitated, and even the scum at both ends of the snake and rat was even the scum of Qin Duchu!

……………………………………

Chang'an City, Dongcheng Houhou Mansion, is at this moment when the singing and dancing are noisy and the wine glasses are handed over.

As the master, righteousness is at the top.

On the left and right, a warrior general sits, and a fierce general stands in a row.

These people are all Yizong's former old subordinates, or his current henchmen and retainers.

Today is the first birthday of Yizong's youngest son, and Yizong did not publicize it, but just held a banquet at home to entertain these old subordinates, cronies, and retainers.

One is to connect with each other and strengthen the connection, and the other is to discuss the future.

After all, as a military interest group, today's relatives of the Yi clan are already prosperous, like cooking oil on fire.

But the more this is the case, the more cautious Yizong becomes, walking on thin ice.

He had even already thought about not leading troops unless necessary.

This is for himself, but also for his sister, his nephew.

After all, even if the Son can trust him today, what about others?

If he continues to lead the troops to fight, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be all kinds of yin and yang strange sounds.

However, the military clique of the Yi clan must continue to maintain its vitality and strength.

Otherwise, there is no way to protect oneself either.

Not to mention the others, those righteous enemies and opponents will not let him go.

When the wine was cooked and the rice was full, Yi Zong took advantage of the situation to raise his glass and said: "Gentlemen, thank you for your love, come to congratulate the dog, and thank you with turbid wine......

"Don't dare!" Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses and got up.

Almost all of the people present were cultivated and promoted by Yizong over the years.

Many of them were born at the bottom of society, and some were even criminals and convicts.

They all relied on the appreciation of righteousness and found them from the crowd.

They are where they are today.

In the past eight years, Yizong has single-handedly brought out 18 marquis, 35 feudal monarchs, and also recommended dozens of young heroes to the court, among whom there are now officials to the county guard.

As a result, the group of Yi's relatives has become a behemoth across the military and political worlds.

The momentum is even above the thin sinus.

But because of this, it has made a big splash and offended many people.

Especially those who feel that righteousness is in the way, or that good things are ruined.

"Gentlemen......" Yi Zong put down the wine bottle, sat down, and said, "I will enter the palace tonight to play against Your Majesty......"

Yizong had just returned to Chang'an from Taiyuan, and the preparations for the Anbei Protectorate had almost exhausted his energy in the past year, making him look a little tired.

There's no way, all the people under the jurisdiction of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate are monsters!

Longyou County and Beidi County are one of the main sources of cavalry in the Han Dynasty, especially the cuirassiers, these two counties contribute more than 30% of the cuirassiers of the Han army.

The local Northland knight family in Longyou and Beidi is a military family that is deeply rooted in the local area and flourishes.

The mere need to reconcile and settle and subjugate the local forces and interest groups in these two counties has already exhausted the righteous people.

After all, he was too young, and he had always been a military commander before, so he had no local experience.

Not to mention, there are important towns such as Taiyuan, Shangjun and Yunzhong under the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

As the Governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate, Yoshizong had to travel frequently to coordinate the contradictions of all parties so that the Metropolitan Protectorate could be twisted into a rope.

Yi Zong said quietly: "Before returning to Beijing, Guo Duwei of the Flying Fox Army and Su Duwei of the Juzhu Army came to me, and they planned to leave a few tribes in the south of the Munan as a training venue......

"I promised......"

"But I think that the pattern of the two captains of the Flying Fox Army and the Juzhu Army is still too small......"

"What kind of soldiers can you train?" Yi Zong smiled and said, "What good soldiers can be trained?" ”

"This time I return to Beijing, I am ready to face the Son of Heaven and train troops in Hexi!"

When everyone heard this, they were all refreshed.

For the general public, it may be that peace is happiness.

But for the soldiers who have become accustomed to the iron horse Jingo, peace is torture.

Life without gunpowder makes them uncomfortable, and they can't see the enemy, so they can only vent their excess energy on the wine table and bed.

If this continues, many people feel that they are going to be abolished.

However, recuperating and recuperating is a national policy set by the Son of Heaven and the court, and it is a reality that has to be faced.

The Han family has been fighting for many years, and the people and people's livelihood really need time to rest and recover.

The interior also needs to be restructured, and the infrastructure needs to be renovated everywhere.

Recruits need more training.

Therefore, even if they don't want to, the generals can only pinch their noses and recognize it.

But now, Yizong said that he wanted to stir up trouble in Hexi.

Everyone was in high spirits and excited.

I've been idle for more than a year, and now the big guys don't pick and choose, as long as there is a fight, no matter how small, the big guys are willing.

It's just that......

Will the Son of Heaven agree?

Will the court pass?

Everyone knows what the state of the treasury and the country is now.

At the Great Court Meeting in October this year, the Secretary of the Young Mansion and the Secretary of the Great Agricultural Department were all crying poor.

Shaofuqing Liu She even rolled around, saying that there was no money to ask for, there was a life, and whoever wanted it would take it.

But canals and water conservancy facilities cannot be built without construction.

In the end, under the joint efforts of the Legalist ministers headed by Chao Cuo, the Huang Lao faction had to make concessions and compromises, and agreed to a decree to temporarily increase the vehicle and vessel tax, mining tax, and municipal tax.

Even so, the treasury was short of money.

In the end, there was no way, but the Son of Heaven made a decision, took out 50,000 gold from the inner treasury, minted it into five baht of gold, and allocated it to the treasury as a degree, so as to understand the financial problems of the eight years of Yuande.

Even the Son of Heaven had to take gold out of his gold reserves, which had always been only in and out of the country, and the constraints of the treasury could be imagined.

Under such conditions, even the actions of the Hun generals against Munan could only be found by merchants to fight the autumn wind.

Military operations against Hexi, where to find money?

Everyone is at a loss.

But Yizong doesn't worry about these things, and the problem of money is easy to solve!

It's a big deal to let the Son of Heaven take some more gold out of the inner treasury, and then find the prince to turn into a fate, and it can basically be done.

What he was worried about was that this beauty difference was cut off.

Therefore, he had to explain this matter clearly to his cronies first, so that they could be ready to compete.

He looked at the crowd and said, "Gentlemen, I have to plan like this......"

"The Western Xiongnu have ceded Heli Mountain to me last year, but Ju Yanze is still under its control, and Ju Yanze is in his hand, so the passage of Heli Mountain may be choked at any time...... "Yi Zong said righteously: "How can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch!" Ju Yanze is not owned by me, then the throat of my Han family in and out of Hexi will be subject to others for a day! It will take Juyan, and Ann Hanoi! ”

"And husband, the land of Juyan, so the country of quicksand is also the sacred and inviolable inherent territory of my Zhuxia since ancient times! The land of the first king! ”

As he spoke, Yizong also took out several books from his arms.

One of them is even the "Five Emperors Benji" written by Tai Shiling, he turned out one of the pages and pointed it to the generals: "Emperor Gaoyang, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the son of Changyi." Jing Yuan is a governor with a plan and a dredge; Raise materials to any land, carry the time to be like the sky, according to the ghosts and gods to control righteousness, to govern the qi to educate, and to be sincere to sacrifice. The north is as far as the Youling, the south is as far as Jiaolu, the west is as far as the quicksand, and the east is as far as Panmu. The moving things, the big and small gods, the sun and the moon shine, all belong to it. ”

"This quicksand is the current residence of Yanze......"

"Now Juyan does not belong to the Han Dynasty, my generation of military generals, An Neng is indifferent, not afraid of the first king's guilt?" Yizong looked heartbroken and indignant.

When the generals heard this, they immediately expressed their attitudes and bowed: "The land of quicksand, the Ze of Juyan, the legacy of the previous king, my generation swears to recover it, in order to tell the gods of the emperor!" ”

Yes, how could the place of indoctrination of the Emperor fall into the hands of Yidi?

As a soldier of Zhuxia, the descendant of Zhuan, who would dare to sit back and watch such a shame?

No one!

The most important thing is that the big guy has now heard the meaning of Yizhong.

The Western Xiongnu had already abandoned Heli Mountain last year and ceded it to the Han dynasty in order to protect themselves.

But this Ju Yanze, they didn't dare to give up anymore.

It's not just because of the strategic role of this place - after living in Yanze, Qilian Mountain will be exposed to the Han army, and the light cavalry only needs three days to attack Qilian Mountain, so that the small regime of the Western Xiongnu will perish!

More because this is the economic lifeline of the Western Huns!

Without the abundant oasis of Juyanze, the economic embarrassment of the Western Xiongnu will be further increased, and without Juyanze, the Western Xiongnu will perish.

Therefore, the small regime of the Western Xiongnu had to protect Juyanze unto the death.

And this is exactly in line with the method of military training proposed by Yizong at the beginning.

Even......

Perhaps, the armies of the Han family can take turns to fight, and you will finish training on my side.

However, the small regime of the Western Xiongnu had to respond to the war, and could only respond to the war.

In this way, in the long tug-of-war and round battle, the strength of the Western Xiongnu will be gradually consumed, and the Han army has also achieved the purpose of training.

Then, with a long drive straight in, without much effort, you can capture Qilian Mountain and take Hexi completely.

Thus opening the way to the Western Regions!

This is also the tragic dilemma faced by the Western Xiongnu now, if the Han family wants to destroy it, they don't even need to exert all their strength, just a finger.

The Western Xiongnu can exist until now entirely because the Han army is now unable and unwilling to destroy it.

To leave the thorn Jing Ke said
