What is the situation in the Western Regions, Li Yue is still confused, Dunhuang Taishou Suoxiang once had a twist and turn, mentioning that there are three powerful countries in the Western Regions, Qiuzi, which occupies the main road in the Western Regions, Yueban established by the Northern Xiongnu in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and south of the Tianshan Mountains, there are 100,000 victorious soldiers.

Especially Qiuzi, go west to Luoyang 8,280 miles, there are common cities, its city is threefold, there are thousands of pagodas and temples. People are engaged in farming and animal husbandry, and both men and women are in the field. The palace is magnificent, rejuvenating like a god's dwelling.

In Emperor Taikang of the Jin Dynasty, King Qiuci also sent his son to serve, and he was quite close to the Central Plains Dynasty.

But this was all eighty or ninety years ago, and no one knows what the situation is now.

As for the rest of the country, it was a number of castles, and a few thousand people called themselves kings.

The fact that no one from the countries of the Western Regions has come for so long shows that there is a force in the Western Regions that is unwilling to get close to Daliang.

It's a pity that the news is too slow in this era, and everything depends on two legs.

Li Yue was anxious and useless, so he could only continue to wait.

From spring ploughing to autumn harvest, finally waiting for the news.

But it was bad news, Liu Ying's envoys of 137 people, just out of Gaochang, were attacked by 2,000 Qiuzi cavalry, 137 people fought bravely, and fought and retreated, killed 121 people, even Liu Ying was seriously injured.

When the news reached Luoyang, the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

Liang Guoguo has been in the country for so long, and no one has dared to make a move against the envoys of Liang State, even if they fought to the death with Yan and Qin back then, both sides maintained the proper demeanor towards the envoys.

Li Yue didn't expect that he would really be stunned.

"Since Guizi has done it, he must have joined forces with Daiguo!" Chang Wei arched his hand.

"Originally, I just wanted to restore the vassal relationship and renew the business path, but I didn't expect them to be so ignorant!" Li Yue still underestimated the barbarism of this era.

Even if he was a strong man back then, it was not smooth sailing to enter the Western Regions, and there were three absolute links for more than 200 years.

There are many small countries that don't open their eyes, Loulan, Cheshi, and Luntai robbed and killed the Han envoys, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also killed the heads of the people, so that these people became obedient.

The Tang Dynasty in history was the same, and when it entered the Western Regions, it encountered the same resistance.

In short, the knife is the most effective way to communicate.

If you are polite to them, they will think that you are easy to talk and easy to bully.

Isn't this year just an enlarged black river and lake?

Since the name of Hongxing was taken, it should have been cut from east to west, from south to north, and these people were subdued, so that they would kneel on the ground and sing conquest......

Civilization is built on a blade.

"Order, the whole city of Luoyang mourns the fallen soldiers, and tells the soldiers and people in the country that the rudeness of the Qiuzi people is the first, and it is unbearable to kill my Daliang soldiers!"

Li Yue slapped his thigh, filled with righteous indignation.

Before sending troops, it is still necessary to make the whole country reach an agreement and arouse the indignation of the soldiers and the people.

In addition, the Western Regions is of great strategic significance and economic interests, and it is the territory of China since ancient times.

The Western Regions Changshi Mansion set up by the Western Jin Dynasty can be seen from its weak name, and the Western Regions have actually been out of control since then.

The Western Regions Protectorate, on the other hand, was occupied by armed forces.

"Your Majesty thinks twice...... Qiuci is nearly 10,000 miles away from the Central Plains...... The army traveled far away, only fearing that the food and grass would not be able to make ends meet, and the gentleman would take revenge, ten years is not too late, and now it is time to recuperate. Chang Wei arched his hand.

Li Yue also wanted to take revenge ten years later, but now it was clear that Tuoba Shi Yijian's hand had penetrated deep into the Western Regions.

Ten years later, I was afraid that Tuoba Shiyijian would unify the grassland first, and then attack the Central Plains with the Western Regions.

Now is the time when the Liang army is the strongest, the last attack on Liangzhou, mainly Wang Meng, Wei Shan, Murong Chui, Fu Ya under the command of the soldiers, Luoyang only out of more than 10,000 Xuanjia army, the Chinese army has been recuperating.

"Ling Junda can rest assured that I am not launching an immediate expedition of more than 100,000 troops, but after fully preparing with an elite small force, I will kill with one blow!" Li Yue comforted.

The Xuanjia Army and the Black Cloud Cavalry were prepared for the expedition.

The west is not isolated, there is Murong Chui in Liangzhou, and Tuyuhun in the West Sea.

On the contrary, if Qiuzi's direct slap in the face is not punished, those small countries in the Western Regions that still have the Central Plains in their hearts will only drift away.

Hearing Li Yue say this, Chang Wei was also relieved.

In the past two years, several troops have made great gains, with hundreds of thousands of livestock and mountains of money and grain.

Qiuzi is a famous fat sheep in the Western Regions, thousands of pagoda temples, the royal palace is magnificent, and it is like a god's residence.

Driving war with economic interests is unstoppable.

In ancient and modern times, wars in China and abroad are essentially driven by economic interests.

And the most important thing is that Li Yue wants to strengthen the connection with Guanzhong and Liangzhou through this battle, and truly incorporate the Guanzhong, Longyou, and Liangzhou scholars into the Great Liang.

For them, it is necessary to suppress and win them over.

After the Han Dynasty took Hexi from the Xiongnu, it moved the wealthy clans of Suo, Guo, Jia, Zhang, and Yin into the newly occupied Liangzhou, and for more than a thousand years, they were the defenders of China.

Until they met another disgraceful dynasty in Chinese history......

For three days in a row, the whole city of Luoyang was vegetarian.

The people gritted their teeth at Qiuzi, and the soldiers wrote to the military department one after another, asking for revenge.

The atmosphere was just stirred up.

Although Li Yue was the initiator, he was not reckless, and the soldiers and the country's major affairs must not be ignored.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

It is okay to belittle the opponent verbally, but you can't blindly send troops, and first find out the situation in the Western Regions.

Li Yue sent the most elite scouts and school officials to enter the Western Regions first to find out the situation, and the military department also collected various war reports about the Western Regions, and planned the marching route, set up grain routes, built weapons, and raised fat for war horses......

This came and went, and in less than a year, the war could not be launched.

Of course, the real strength of the enemy cannot be relied on only to investigate, and it takes a few small battles to assess the combat strength of the Guizi army, and by the way, also touch Tuoba Shi Yijian's mind to see how he reacts.

Li Yue added the title of Murong Chui to supervise the military of Qin Lianghuang, envoy the festival, and waited for the opportunity to attack Qiuzi.

Arrange all this, the autumn harvest has passed.

Good news came from Guanzhong, under Wang Meng's hard work, Guanzhong finally ushered in a bumper harvest, harvesting 470,000 stones.

Cui Hong also had immediate results in Shuozhou, with as many as 50,000 livestock slaughtered this year.

It doesn't seem like much, but it is not easy to have so many in the first year, everything is difficult at the beginning, and since the framework of the pastoral supervisor has been built, there will be an endless stream of livestock in the future.

In addition to livestock, there are more than 4,000 fine war horses.

With regard to the support of China Grain and Grass and the livestock of the animal husbandry, there will be no shortage of grain and grass in this war.

Li Yue sent all their grain, grass and livestock to Dunhuang to prepare for the big war in advance.

The Liang State is at the peak of its combat power, and the whole country is united, after Li Yue's funeral for the dead envoys, the soldiers and the people have the same hatred for the enemy, and they all want to take revenge, and the people's hearts are available.
