"Kangju and Wusun, ready to expand into the Western Regions?"

Yang Zhao listened to Shi A's words and felt that this might be a threat to the big man.

Shi A said: "Judging from the current news, it is indeed the case! ”

Kangju and Wusun want to attack the Western Regions, then it is possible to approach Liangzhou, trouble is coming again, and it is even possible to fight with the Western Regions, according to Yang Zhao's plan at the beginning, he just wants to know what Taiping Dao is doing in the West, and will not use troops in the West.

Settle the inside and deal with the outside.

The Western Regions can also be regarded as the interior of the Han Dynasty, although the Western Regions Protectorate exists in name only, but it also existed, that is, the territory of the Han Dynasty, and now it has been invaded by the outside and cannot be ignored.

Yang Zhao calculated the time, and had to go back to Luoyang, it was more troublesome to fight the Western Regions, the northwest region was vast and sparsely populated, and the scope was very large, so it was not easy to fight, and it was also difficult to arrange various baggage and other deployment issues.

To fight, or not to fight?

This question was entangled in Yang Zhao's mind.

If he doesn't fight, it doesn't conform to his original idea, and if he fights, he will be limited by the battle situation in the northwest, but now the Western Regions is basically a betrayal of the Han Dynasty, and it doesn't make much sense to fight.

But the Western Regions are in front of him, and if he fights in the future, he will not run away, and the question that should be considered at present is whether the people from the Western Regions will take advantage of the situation to break into Liangzhou, which he does not want to see.

If he enters Liangzhou, he can only lead his troops to counterattack.

"According to our information, Wusun and Kangju's actions are actually related to Taiping Dao." Shi Ah said again.

This news made Yang Zhao stunned.

There is also the shadow of Taiping Dao in it, it seems that Taiping Dao's hand can be extended very long, and it can easily provoke a war, just like the Taiping Dao uprising back then.

"It should be Zhang Ning who was afraid that I would chase and kill me to the west, so he deliberately did this, arranged for Wusun and Kangju, and intercepted me in the Western Regions, and there was no way to go west."

Yang Zhao judged Zhang Ning's approach, and said: "As long as the Westerners don't enter the Western Regions, I don't want to fight in the Western Regions for the time being, Zhang Ning thinks that I am too belligerent." ”

Shi A smiled: "It's not that the lord is too belligerent, but the lord is too strong, which makes Zhang Ning feel scared." ”

Yang Zhao smiled conformistically: "Maybe I fought too peacefully and had no power to fight back, which made Zhang Ning jealous of me." ”

After a pause, he added, "Continue to track down Taiping Dao, is there enough manpower for the shadow now?" ”

Shi A said: "If a group of shadows are arranged to go to the Western Regions, it may lead to insufficient people within our Han Dynasty, in the past few years, in addition to attracting rangers, we have also cultivated a lot of shadows other than rangers, and now they are all activated." ”

All of them are enabled, but there are still not enough manpower.

It's a bit of a hassle.

The shadow is them, the most important source of information, which cannot be missing.

"Then you go back to Luoyang with me, and the situation in the west will be handled by Boyang, and then cultivate a batch of shadows, don't worry about the money, you must take care of it." Yang Zhao commanded.

"Thank you, my lord!" Shi Ah nodded.

After Shi Ah finished speaking, he went down to work again.

The reason why Yang Zhao came to Liangzhou was to know what the people of Taiping Dao were doing and to get news faster in Liangzhou, and secondly, to subdue Liangzhou and take over everything.

That's all the shadow can find out for the time being.

But there is one more, the problem of Wusun and Kangju should be handled well, arrange a team of garrisons in Liangzhou, as long as Wusun dares to invade in, just fight back.

"Help me pass them over." Yang Zhaodao.

After a while, Ma Chao came.

"Lord!"

"Meng Qi is welcome, sit!"

Yang Zhao said: "I plan to appoint Meng Qi as the assassin of Liangzhou, who can take charge of the military and help me suppress the northwest." I just got the news that Wusun and Kangju intend to expand to the Western Regions, you have been suppressing the Western Regions in the northwest border before, it is more appropriate to garrison here, if you feel that the northwest is too bitter, you can put it forward, I will arrange another person. ”

"It's not bitter!"

Ma Chao readily agreed: "As the lord said, I am suitable to stay in the northwest and guard the border for the Han Town, and whoever dares to invade Liangzhou, I will lead the troops to fight back." ”

He naturally knew that Yang Zhao's subordinates practiced the separation of military and government.

In a state, the leader and the person who handles government affairs are not the same person, but now he has been given military and political power, this is trust, and he is very happy.

"It's so hard."

Yang Zhao gave him military and political power, because he couldn't think of anyone who was more suitable in Liangzhou for the time being.

Thinking about it, there is only Ma Chao, or Ma Teng.

Of course, these are only temporary, and he will have other arrangements in the future, and those who should be separated still have to be separated.

"It's not hard!"

Ma Chao shook his head and said: "I still have to thank the lord for his trust, please rest assured that the lord will hand over Liangzhou to me, there will be no problem, but ......"

He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Zhao asked curiously.

"I look at Yunlu, it seems that I have a little thought about the lord, I don't know what the lord thinks?"

Ma Chao took the initiative to bring up the matter.

Along the way, Ma Yunlu often went to chat with Yang Zhao, and the relationship was very good, the thoughts he showed were obvious, and his feelings were cultivated.

Yang Zhao was about to have this idea, wanting to increase his trust in the Ma family through marriage, Ma Chao also mentioned this matter, which surprised him, I don't know if Ma Chao is really for his sister, or if he wants to further gain Yang Zhao's trust.

"I think Yunlu is very good."

Yang Zhao didn't dodge, and there was no need to do this.

Think is think, and admit it generously.

Ma Chao asked in surprise: "The lord also agrees, do you marry Yunlu?" ”

This sentence is more direct.

Yang Zhao didn't agree immediately, and said unhurriedly: "When the time comes, I'll go back and talk to the lady at home, and then take Yunlu home to have a look, if Yunlu can accept it, it's no problem." ”

"Good!"

Ma Chao naturally had no problem, and said: "I'll ask someone to write to my father later, and when I talk about it, my father will definitely agree." ”

In addition to being grateful to Yang Zhao, he is worshipping, and he is happy to get closer to Yang Zhao.

After talking about this matter briefly, Yang Zhao arranged for Ma Chao to be in Liangzhou to suppress the enemy in the west, and then Ma Chao proposed to leave and go back first to tell his sister the good news.

"Let Yuan Chang come over." Yang Zhao said again.

After a while.

Zhong Xuan came and asked, "May I ask my lord, what are your orders?" ”

Yang Zhao said: "You are the assassin of Yongzhou, help me guard Guanzhong, especially staring at the Golden Bull Road, Meridian Road, etc., I am worried that Liu Bei will swell and make a surprise attack." ”

Now Liu Bei's strength began to swell wildly.

Yang Zhao felt that Liu Bei might also be inflated, so he had to guard against it.

Zhong Miao commanded: "Lord, please rest assured, Yongzhou has me, and I can be safe and sound!" ”

The affairs in Guanzhong will also be arranged, and Yang Zhao will deal with affairs in Liangzhou for a while, and he can almost return to Luoyang, because Dong Bai's child is about to be born.
