Long before going to the Western Regions, Ying Zheng wrote a letter to Meng Wu in Longxi, asking him to handle the matter quickly, after all, these goods are bargaining chips exchanged with Xiqiang, and they must not be dishonest, and there can be no delay in time.

Therefore, after Meng Wu received the king's order, he rushed back to Xianyang, scavenged the porcelain left in Jingyao, and then purchased tea and silk with the help of Sima Hong.

After everything was in order, Meng Wu rushed to Jiayuguan with 30,000 armor soldiers and craftsmen who had been recruited during this time.

It also happened to arrive here with Ying Zheng's foot before and after the foot.

Solin was worried about the Yiqu tribe, so he stepped forward to ask Meng Wu, "General Meng, grandfather and the Yiqu clan, are you okay?"

Meng Wu replied with a smile: "Hehe, it's good, the people of Yiqu, don't mention how happy they are now, now many people are clamoring to learn to farm, but it's a pity that the season is not right, so we can only wait until the spring of next year."

"Hehe, that's good." Thorin finally relented.

"I'll be back in a few days, why are you in a hurry?" Qiang said on the side.

"Hmm." Thorin nodded.

Ying Zheng looked at the brothers, but suddenly thought of a question, so he said: "General Meng, you must also know that half of this Hexi Corridor already belongs to us, so next, we also have to move in some people, so why don't we let the people who have just moved away in the north of Longxi move here directly?"

Meng Wu thought for a moment, then nodded directly and said, "Well, this is a good idea, using Longxi people to fill this Hexi corridor is indeed the best of both worlds."

Suorin looked at Yingzheng and said, "Brother Wang, Yiqu occupied the northwest land of Longxi before, which has brought a lot of trouble to the people of Longxi, and now this land west of the river, it is better to ask Yiqu to move back here."

When Solin said this, he also felt sorry for Longxi.

Ying Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "This Hexi Corridor, the situation is quite complicated, if you let Yiqu move here again, it will put you in a dangerous situation again, besides, you also said that you will not cultivate, and this land will be wasted again in your hands?"

"Hehe, that's too." Thorin scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.

"This Jiayuguan needs to be rebuilt, the land needs to be developed, and it can't be done without officials here." Ying Zheng looked at Meng Wu and said, "It's better to transfer Xu Wan from Longxi here, and worship the Taishou of Hexi, and he will handle all the affairs of Hexi, and you, General Meng, will fully supervise this matter."

"When the weather is warm next year, we will build several passes together, and this winter, we must survey the terrain, and then we will also build a great wall to resist the Huns."

"Wechen takes orders!" Meng Wu said.

The next day, under the guidance of the king of Xiqiang, Yingzheng and Mengwu circled around Jiayuguan, and analyzed and observed from different high points, and also drew maps from different angles.

Three days later, a new city defense pattern was presented in front of Yingzheng.

This pattern was drawn collectively by the craftsmen, and the thumb also gave a lot of suggestions.

This pattern is extremely consistent with the topography of Jiayuguan, and can transform each topography into advantages, and the area has been expanded more than twice.

That's it!

Ying Zheng slapped the board with satisfaction, and he could finally return to Xianyang with peace of mind.

Thinking of Xianyang, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think about the harem, counting it, the two pot-bellied women in the palace should have been born.

Thinking of the ladies in the harem, Yingzheng immediately remembered Wuchan again, and he didn't know how she was doing recently.

And the few things I promised Wu Chan really have to hurry, otherwise next time, what face will I have to see her?

After arranging all the details about Jiayuguan, Yingzheng left Meng Wu in Jiayuguan and waited for the handover to Xu Wan, while he led the team to Qinjing

Enter.

The king of Xiqiang withdrew all the Xiqiang troops in Jiayuguan and handed over the defense with Mengwu.

Although the agreement said that the Hexi territory was one and a half people, since Jiayuguan was to be rebuilt, the people of Xiqiang would mix in it

It's not like that anymore.

After instructing Qiang, the king of Xiqiang said goodbye to Yingzheng, loaded with goods, and marched in the direction of his tribe.

Yingzheng also straightened out the people and embarked on the way home.

Every time you pass through a city pass, the guards will lead all the troops out to greet you.

After all, in principle, the boundary has been demarcated and ruled, and the Chengguan, which is north of the middle boundary line, is now owned by Daqin.

And this part of the city pass belonging to Great Qin, its guards are already rectifying their men and horses, and they are ready to retreat.

Taking over this kind of thing, naturally there is no need to worry about Yingzheng, just leave it to Meng Wu and Xu Wan, and just lead the team all the way to Yongding Pass.

The road was flat, and Ying Zheng remembered the scene of running when he got up, so he was interested again.

After handing over the maple leaf to Meng Tian, he ran with the "Our Army" again.

Meng Tian, who took the reins, was happy in his heart, he learned from Yingzheng, caressing the gorgeous neck of the maple leaf, and smoothing the golden mane, but there was a sigh in his heart.

It would be nice if I had such a sweaty BMW!

Meng Yi naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to get close to Maple Leaf, so he stood on the other side of Meng Tian, and did the same thing, muttering in his mouth, "Your name is Maple Leaf, right? Whatever you like to eat, I'll pick it for you."

Meng Tian glanced at Meng Yi and said angrily: "If you treat it as you, you will know how to eat, if you feed you fat, the king will clean you up."

Meng Yi stuck out his tongue and grimaced, but his hand did not leave Maple Leaf's horse.

"I really want to ride for a lap." Meng Tian also muttered.

"Humph!" Meng Yi said coldly, "If you really ride it, the king may put you in prison."

"Go, just talk a lot." Meng Tian glared at Meng Yi again, "The king asked me to take care of it, it's none of your business."

"Then I'm at ease, and I'll have to lead it with me." Meng Yi did not back down.

The two little brothers are still arguing here, but Yingzheng has already run away.

Finally on this day, my own Yongdingguan appeared in front of me, and that kind of intimate feeling was really not felt for a long time.

As expected, Xu Wan opened the city gate and personally led a team to greet him.

"Welcome to the king's return!" Xu Wan dismounted and bowed his hands.

"Hehe, the widow guessed that you would be waiting at Yongding Pass." Ying Zheng said, "Let's go, enter the customs."

"Your Majesty, please." Xu Wanrang opened the road and followed Yingzheng into the city gate.

Coming to the lobby, Ying Zheng told Xu Wan about his next deployment.

Xu Wan was taken aback at first, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "The last general is a martial artist, this guarding the city pass, and building fortifications is naturally no problem, but it is a bit reluctant to resettle immigrants and rectify the barren land."

Xu Wan is not unreasonable, since ancient times, there has been a division of labor between civil and military, and now it is indeed difficult for a military general to organize the people to open up that large area of wasteland.

It seems that there is no sage to rectify the land west of the river, and it really can't work.

However, if you go back to Xianyang to find a candidate, there will be a lot of delays, not to mention, and no one knows the situation here well, and even if you come, it may not be of much use.

While thinking about it, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered a person, Chen Li.

Previously, Ying Zheng asked Sima Jie to send Chen Li to the Western Regions to investigate, and Chen Li did send back some news, but later Ying Zheng entered Yumen Pass with the King of Xiqiang, and the road was almost unimpeded, so he ordered Chen Li to return to Longxi to standby.

Although he failed to enter the Yumen Pass, Chen Li

However, I have some preliminary understanding of the Hexi Corridor, and most of the information transmitted back is about it.

"General Xu, what do you think of Chen Li?" Ying Zheng looked at Xu Wan and asked.

"Chen Li?" Xu Wan thought for a moment and said, "That person is quite knowledgeable, and when he passed by Longxi, he talked about some political affairs with the last general, and also inquired about some things outside Yongding Pass, as well as our relationship with Xiqiang, but it can be seen between the lines that his mind is extremely meticulous.

He also looks at the problem quite comprehensively, and he is indeed a talent."

"Hehe, if he wasn't a talent, the widow wouldn't have sent him to explore the Western Regions." Ying Zheng said, "Since General Xu appreciates Chen Li, how about the widow appointing him to assist you and be in charge of Wenzhi?"

Xu Wan didn't respond immediately, but thought for a moment, and then said: "This opening up the new frontier is naturally something that the military generals think about day and night, and now the king has obtained a large area of territory without much effort, which is naturally a blessing for the country.

"Good!" Ying Zheng exclaimed, "Just have faith, since you also agree to let Chen Li assist you, then this matter is so decided, when the widow passes by Longxi, he will ask him to come directly to meet you, and then, you will go to Jiayuguan together, and then replace General Meng."

"Your Majesty, if you go back to Longxi, you should go back with the last general." Xu Wan said, "The people who migrated from the northwest of Longxi will be more familiar with it in the end, and after they go back, they will mobilize well, and they will be able to migrate next year."

"Well, that's right." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "You can go back with you, but you can't delay too long, before winter, you must rush to Jiayuguan."

"I wonder what the situation is at Jiayuguan now?" Xu Wan asked.

"Xiqiang's side, all of them have been pulled out of Jiayu Pass, so that we can renovate them." Ying Zheng said, "The pattern has also been designed, and General Meng is leading people to open up the area of the city pass."

"Then if it's winter, you won't be able to start construction, right?" Xu Wan said with some concern.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Before the winter, General Meng will make the framework of the ground and the periphery, after you take over, don't act rashly for the time being, keep this winter, and continue to rebuild it in the spring of next year."

"And how big is the extent of this land west of the river, can there be a map as a reference?" Xu Wan asked.

Ying Zheng took out the sheepskin map that the king of Xiqiang gave him before from his bosom and handed it to Xu Wan: "This is the map of the Hexi Corridor, our territory is extremely long and narrow, and the mountains in the north are the border with the Xiongnu.

"Moreover, you all have to change into Xiqiang's clothes, and don't let the Huns find out that it is our people who have taken over Jiayuguan."

"If an enemy is coming, then kill him without leaving a piece of armor, and don't let go of a single living mouth."

Looking at Ying Zheng's slightly cold gaze, Xu Wan nodded solemnly, and then asked, "Your Majesty, do we still treat the Huns only by defending and not attacking?"

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There will be a battle between the widow and the Xiongnu in the near future, but not now, let alone in the Hexi Corridor, if we don't hurt them, our trade road will definitely be blocked, and Xiqiang will regret handing over this place to our Daqin."

"Therefore, the widow plans to attack the Huns from the northeast of Longdong when the spring is warm next year!"

"And your responsibility is to build and protect this Hexi Corridor, understand?"

Xu Wan arched his hand and said firmly, "Weichen will not dishonor the king's order!"

"Hehe, okay, in the future, you will be the Taishou of the Hexi Corridor." Ying Zheng said.

"Well, since it's Taishou, then this place must have a name." Xu Wan said with a smile.

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let's call it Liangzhou."
