"So, in our Western Regions, there have always been people in contact with Sassanid Persia."

"But this matter is not easy to solve, this person, it is not easy to find."

Li Kuan looked at Zhang Jian, who was sitting opposite, and said with a headache.

Zhang Jian frowned and looked at Li Kuan, he didn't come to listen to Li Kuan say that it was difficult to solve, but to ask for a solution.

He is a general, and he is only responsible for this part of the battlefield, and other people need to be responsible for things outside the battlefield.

He can pull the front line, he can fight with his life to defend his family and country, but he will not allow his own people to die from outside tactics.

Li Kuan tapped his fingers on the table while thinking about it: "The most likely collusion with Sassanid Persia is the original nobles of the Western Regions, but they were all killed by the family, and their bones were scattered. ”

"Next is the original generals of the Western Regions, but the top generals are all from the nobility, and they are all killed, and the people under them are also sent to the factory, and the people on the farm are all screened."

"So, where do you start?"

Li Kuan had a headache, and for a while, he really didn't know where to start checking.

The people on the farm were all left over from the time Yang Shidao established the farm, and they were all checked several times to determine that there was no channel of contact with Sassanid Persia.

Even, Yang Shidao also offered high profits to the farm to prevent them from being bought.

As for the Sassanid Persian spies coming, they found it themselves, this is impossible, there is no accurate information, there is no 100% certainty, they dare not send people over, otherwise it is easy to cause the army to be ambushed by the enemy after crossing thousands of miles.

For the few backhands left by Yang Shidao, Li Kuan believes in his level.

After Zhang Jian pondered for a while, he took the initiative to speak: "I have examined all the corpses on the farm, and the heads and those registered are correct. ”

"Well, that is, it's not the people on this farm who have a problem."

"And who else can get the news of the farm?"

Zhang Jian helped Li Kuan weaken the scope of exploration.

Li Kuan said calmly: "Logistics personnel,"

"They know where the farm is and they know how much grain the farm has in reserve."

Zhang Jian clenched the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Who is the logistics personnel in charge of that farm." ”

Li Kuan took down a roster from the bookshelf next to him and handed it to Zhang Jian.

"It's been classified a long time ago."

"This logistics team is not only responsible for the farm, but also the pastures and plantations at the border gates."

"There are eight Tang people and twenty-two people from the Western Regions inside."

"My idea is, transfer them away, I don't recommend that you go and kill them,"

Li Kuan looked at Zhang Jian's hand holding the sword, and knew what this old guy thought.

It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one.

If the mole is in this 30-person logistics team, then send all this logistics team away.

Check them one by one, it's too troublesome, and it's too grinding, it's better to cut it directly, and by the way, it can also deter others.

Zhang Jian saw that his thoughts were guessed, and he was not embarrassed, but said calmly: "If you are transferred, the situation of the entire Western Regions may be revealed, and the other party may even get a map of the Western Regions." ”

"The most terrifying thing is what if we put on an iron-blooded killing attitude to shock people's hearts and let others get lucky and participate in it."

"Don't forget, we can fight in our hands, and there are only 25,000 troops who are truly loyal to us, and there are only 15,000 people who can really be trusted, and the 10,000 Western Regions auxiliaries, I don't trust them."

Zhang Jian put his thoughts out, which is his experience as a veteran.

They are old people, they have experienced too many wars, and they have seen too many situations.

The words of Ci Bu in charge of the soldiers have been engraved into their bone marrow.

Moreover, Ci is not in charge of the army, and it is not just about the army under his command, but about all the people and things he encounters in the march and battle.

Iron when it should be iron-blooded, and violent when it should be violent.

Violence may not solve everything, but it is terrifying.

Li Kuan was not angry at Zhang Jian's unkind and straightforward words, but said with a smile: "General, my idea is to wipe out all the restless forces in the Western Regions in one fell swoop. ”

"At the same time, I also want to take this opportunity to unite the hearts of the people in the Western Regions."

"Besides, this is not the season to move to the pastures soon, you know, not only the pastures in our Western Regions will be relocated, but also the pastures of the grasslands will be relocated, and the pastures of a large number of grassland people are close to our Western Regions."

These words made Zhang Jian's eyes flash with excitement, and he understood Li Kuan's later words.

The pasture was relocated, and the grassland people's pastures were close to the Western Regions, which meant that as long as the time was calculated, a large number of grassland cavalry would pour into the Western Regions at a critical moment.

Zhang Jian calculated the speed of the Xia Ren Ranch to the Western Regions in his heart, and the whole person was excited.

Although when I fought with the Xia people in the past, I cursed Gou of the Xia cavalry, and I didn't fight head-on all day long, running around.

Ke Zhen was a teammate with Xia Ren, and when he knew that he would have the support of tens of thousands of cavalry at any time, he was very happy.

"But, Your Majesty there"

The Xia cavalry will inevitably not appear here in the form of an army, because they want to prevent internal traitors from reporting to the Sassanid Persian army, so the Xia people are likely to come in the form of true herdsmen, and when they are in war, they put on armor and turn over their horses to fight.

However, this involves a problem, conscription without permission, which is a capital crime.

Li Kuan smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem.

"I have His Majesty's secret decree, stamped from the three provinces and six departments."

"You don't have to worry about recruiting Xia people, just go back and contact Ashina Sheer, he knows about it."

Zhang Jian glanced at Li Kuan deeply, and said in his heart that he was amused, but he entered into hesitation.

Li Kuan saw that Zhang Jian had finished talking and hadn't left yet, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, why didn't this person leave.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, can you show me the secret decree?"

Li Kuan was surprised by his request, but he still took out the secret decree and handed it to Zhang Jian.

Looking at the three provinces and six departments above and Li Shimin's chapter, Zhang Jian sighed, handed over the secret decree to Li Kuan, and said softly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, my wife-in-law participated in an investment a while ago, and in just two months, she got the dividends. ”

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Li Kuan's mouth twitched.

The relationship network of the Chu Wangfu, where is it still expanding?

No, it should be said that some people refused at first, but now they are starting to join actively.

The corners of Li Kuan's mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "I'll go back and look for the contract of the joint cooperative enterprise, and if it's confirmed, I'll give you an original contract." ”

Zhang Jian nodded, he had heard of the original contract.

Before, he didn't want to join the network of the Chu Palace, because he felt that he was a general who lived with his strength, and he didn't need to take refuge in the prince at all.

Besides, Li Kuan, a child who has been passed out, has nothing to turn to.

But now, after seeing the secret decree just now, he understands that Li Shimin really values Li Kuan.

As for the reason, Made, which neurotic emperor would give himself a secret decree to recruit elite troops that he doesn't like, the local number one prince.

So it was concluded that Li Shimin really valued Li Kuan.

Then he, Zhang Jian, will not join at this time, when will he join.

Moreover, Zhang Jian maliciously guessed that Li Shimin's secret decree just now, which did not write a specific time, can be completely understood as Li Shimin giving Li Kuan the right to recruit again.

Don't underestimate this right, if Li Kuan is in a small place, conscription will be like that.

But Li Kuan is in the grassland, where there are Xia people and the most elite cavalry, and they can be used as the basis of the imperial army when they are pulled up.

Thinking about the loophole that there is no time in the secret decree, it was not pointed out by the three provinces, especially Wei Zheng of the subordinate province, he Zhang Jian can simply understand that the three provinces have been acquiesced by the emperor to Li Kuan's side.

This kind of situation made Zhang Jian decisively choose to join the relationship network of the Chu Wangfu and contribute to this network.
