Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
For Yiwu, apart from the fact that this fortress-like city still has some value, there are basically no commendable people and things in the city, even the city lord who makes this fortress belonging to the Han people stand tall in the Western Regions.
Even if this city lord is already one of the few skilled talents here.
However, his limit was limited to this, and even today, when the countries of the Western Regions broke away from the control of the Han Dynasty and began to fight and annex each other, he himself felt quite powerless. He wanted to stay here as his father wished, but this hopeless obsession would make even the most optimistic person feel lost and uneasy.
Therefore, Li Shushi left Ren Du and 300 Dunhuang Haoqiang private soldiers and left here to continue westward.
Yes, you read that right, those few Dunhuang powerful family masters who also carry the belief of the family returning to the Western Regions are also following Li Shushi's team, but unlike their sons, who follow Li Shushi, they are basically incognito and mixed in as pro-soldiers, after all, compared to their young sons, these people are in the best stage of combining life and brainpower, and it can even be said that they even surpass their own sons in terms of their desire for official careers.
However, because of this, they have chosen to remain incognito, although this move seems to be a bit too cautious in Li Shushi's opinion, but these people still hope to increase some weight of success.
After all, facing a group of young people and a group of young people in the prime of life will make the enemy have two kinds of vigilance, and if you use it well, even if you only succeed once, it is likely to become a turning point in victory or defeat.
Li Shushi, who couldn't resist them, finally had to agree to these stubborn young people.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shushi has a surplus of manpower to start running such a strategic place as Yiwu before he has mastered the shape of the Western Regions.
After Li Shushi's observation, Li Shushi found that although Ren Du was not necessarily very resourceful, he was a bold and careful guy, although his style was a little unstable, but he was not the kind of person who would put himself and his subordinates in danger because of impulse.
The most important thing is that this person's governing ability is quite good, in fact, when Zhang Gong resigned from the position of the county governor of Dunhuang County, he recommended Ren Du to Taishou Ma Ai, but Ren Du's desire for the Western Regions was not much less than Zhang Gong's, and Ma Ai could only find another county prince.
Ren Du did some preliminary preparations in Yiwu, such as collecting intelligence on the surrounding forces and training the militia here in Yiwu, of course, if there were conditions, Li Shushi didn't mind Ren Du doing something around. Because I heard that the Pu country and the Yizhi country in the north of Yiwu are fighting for the largest and strategic-level lake in the north of Yiwu, the Pu Sea, with these 300 private soldiers and some training for the people who originally belonged here, Ren Du can still do a lot of chapters.
Well, this may be one of the few gains that Li Shushi has gained from Yiwu.
As for the other takeaway, it is also interesting news.
Or it confirmed the news that Li Shushi got from Ban Fu before.
The Coach Country, or in what should now be called the Seven Kingdoms of the Driver. This is the only remaining "survivor" of the large and small countries originally located in the northeast of the Western Regions after nearly a hundred years of conquest and annexation, including the front of the Cheshi, the rear of the Cheshi, and the Mi, Pu, the Migration Branch and the Beilu, which are divided into two parts, the east and the west, sometimes one and sometimes one in two, so it can be regarded as two countries.
The most powerful of these remaining countries is the rear of the chariot division, and the reason why they are strong is not because they have obtained more resources from the Han people who rule here, but because they have been the most rebellious country here for more than 100 years when the Han ruled the Western Regions, and every rebellion as long as the Han cannot quell the rebellion in time, they can always annex some small countries or tribes, and when the Han put down their rebellion, they will lose at most some soldiers and horses and their kings.
Even if the king had been clever enough to borrow a force such as the Northern Xiongnu, perhaps his own soldiers and horses would not have lost much; And if their king is lucky enough to escape the capture and pursuit of the Han Chinese, he may be able to use his local influence to regain the throne after a few years, but the Han Duhu has nothing to do with them.
On the other hand, at the front of the Cheshi, they were originally a group of people from the Cheshi Kingdom who were co-opted by the Han Chinese, not only had a much smaller record of rebellion, but also often tried their best to provide men, horses and materials whenever the Han made a move in the Western Regions. As a result, many years later, when the Han finally withdrew from the Western Regions, they suddenly found that their people to the north had become so powerful that they could not breathe. Even according to the information provided by Iwu, the rear of the Che Division was often able to attack Jiaohe City, the national capital of the front of the Che Division.
What kind of expression should you use to face such a situation?
Anyway, whether it is Li Shushi or Ban Fu, they can't even smile.
Of course, it wasn't all bad to get such news, at least Li Shushi could imagine that when their troops passed through the territory of the front of the Guò Che Division, the exhausted defenders of the Che Division, who had already been tortured by their kind, would have absolutely no interest in bothering them passers-by - unless they wanted to have their royal capital sacked before their kind.
Anyway, they don't have nuclear weapons in their hands, and they can't cover the rear of the division or the core area under Li Shushi's jurisdiction with their own weapons, so Li Shushi doesn't mind learning from a certain Iron Lady without fear of the opponent's counterattack.
By the way, from the beginning of leaving Yiwu, Li Shushi and his party changed into Hun clothes.
After all, the influence of the Xiongnu here has never been eliminated, and the Xiongnu soldiers are often involved in disputes here, so the appearance of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers is not too abrupt. Although I really want to play the banner of the Han people in a dignified manner, it is obvious that in order to confuse the attention of the Xianbei people, this kind of cover-up should have some effect.
After all, just putting the leather coat on the outside of the armor and then bringing a little Hun flavor decoration is still too copycat.
"This is the place where our ancestors fought and lived!"
With such feelings, Li Shushi and his entourage passed through a place called Liu, which is very similar to Yiwu, and it also looks very dilapidated, and compared with the vast majority of Yiwu Han people, the race here is much more complicated.
"Oh? Could it be that there is any allusion here? Did the Marquis of Dingyuan fight any battles here? ”
Li Shushi was still quite interested in these things, and seeing that Ban Fu seemed to have plans to hang on to his ancestors, Li Shushi didn't mind delaying such a short time, so he regarded it as a rest for the whole army.
"No, the general has misunderstood, this is not the hometown of the Marquis of Dingyuan, but the place where the ancestor of the family, Ban Yonggong, is in the field. From the second year of Emperor Yanguang, the ancestor of the family was ordered by His Majesty Xià to lead 500 people to garrison this willow, and then recruited Shanshan, Gumo, Qiuzi, Wensu, and led the troops of the headquarters and the troops of the subject country to defeat the Northern Xiongnu Valley Liwang who was entrenched in the front of the car division, and then attacked the rear of the car division, beheaded the rear of the Wang army, and finally broke the Northern Xiongnu, and within a few years it settled the original somewhat erosive Western Regions shape shì. Later, he used this place as a base to re-establish the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions, and monitored the countries while tuntian. It's a pity ......"
It's a pity that it didn't take long for the merit dispute between Ban Yong and Zhang Lang to happen, and the director Zhanì Ban Yong was unjustly imprisoned, and in the end, although he did not suffer much prison, he was deposed as a concubine and finally died of depression, becoming the heart knot of the descendants of the Ban family.
"Since this is the case, then we should all pay our respects, and I hope that the heroic spirit of the Ban family can bless us with a smooth trip."
Seeing Zhang Gong's hesitant look not far away, Li Shushi walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder, then turned to Ban Yong and said.
I hope that the ancestors of the Ban family can bless us with the success of this trip to the Western Regions, that the Western Regions can forever become a sacred and inseparable part of the Chinese nation, and that the troubled times can end as soon as possible, so that the suffering of the people of the Han Dynasty will be less......
Looking at the somewhat desolate land in front of him, Li Shushi closed his eyes quite reverently......
"Ahh
Beyond the Gaochang Wall, which has existed since the time of Emperor Wu, because of the "high terrain and prosperous people", and became the garrison of Wuji Captain in the Western Regions, the royal capital Jiaohe City in front of the Che Division is already close in sight.
Although it seems that it is not impossible to rush over directly, but for the sake of safety, Li Shushi still ordered the entire team to rest in concealment and sent scouts to investigate the situation in the area of Jiaohe City.
It's just that the scouts who were originally discharged just because of caution brought back the news that they brought back were quite surprising.
Both Luo He and the scouts reported to Li Shushi that a large number of troops appeared outside Jiaohe City, although they could not get close to reconnoitre, but judging from the way the army was deployed towards Jiaohe City, it was obvious that it should be an enemy in the front of the Che Division rather than a friend.
"It should be the men and horses at the back of the driver, although I don't know what those people want to do, but I think it should be related to the actions of the Xianbei people. You must know that the rear of the division has always had the habit of interacting with the grassland forces, and the Xianbei people are the biggest overlords in the grassland who inherited the status of the former Huns, so it is not surprising that the two take what they need and join forces. ”
Hearing the scout's introduction, Ban Fu gave the answer after a little thought, and at the same time proved that the information provided by Igo was indeed true.
"Humph! Anyway, it's an obstacle in the way of progress, and for us we just need to break all the obstacles. ”
"But according to the scout's report, the other party should have more than a thousand people, more than twice as many as us. And if we lose our precious troops in such a place, I am afraid that it will have a negative impact on our next trip. ”
Soon, Li Shushi's side was divided into two camps, led by Lu Bu naturally hoped that Li Shushi would push him over, while Zhang Gong led him hoped that Li Shushi would act cautiously, and it would not hurt to take a slight detour if necessary.
"And, what do you think?" Well, foreign affairs are indecisive to ask for peace, and sure enough, the little overlord has endless fun~
"Isn't the Lord already decided? So, let's make this our first appearance in the Western Regions. ”
"Haha, sure enough, you know me! So everyone, are you ready, don't mess up! ”
"Oh!" "My Fang Tian Painting Halberd is already hungry and thirsty!"
Anyway, Xiaoqiang's shoes are always so different.
