Although everyone in the hall was puzzled, they did not object.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Wang Xuanze sighed and said, "Do you know how many people in the world are nobles, gate valves, and heroes who don't want to see Daqian come back?" ”

Hearing this, most of the heat in everyone's eyes immediately dissipated.

He immediately said, "Brother, I'll find out." ”

Then the crowd moved on to other matters.

"Big brother, the news from the Western Regions has changed the situation on the plateau over the years!" Another Wang Zizi spoke.

Although the Wang clan did not have a feudal state in the Western Regions, its strength was still strong. In that year, the Great Cadre was overturned, the Western Regions were in chaos, and the Wang clan gave up many places, relying on danger to help each other, and was able to continue.

Later, he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty and was canonized by the Sui Dynasty, and his strength was restored.

Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty knew that the Western Regions were far away and could not be governed by the Central Plains system, and that the labor expedition was too costly, so he adopted a notice similar to that of Liu Song, and only sent a small number of troops to win over the countries close to the Great Sui and the Wang clan to rule the Western Regions.

The Wang clan can be said to be the head snake in the Western Regions, and they attach great importance to the trade in the Western Regions. After all, the environment of the Western Regions is very dependent on commerce, and if commerce withers, the Western Regions will also decline rapidly.

The most important cities in the Western Regions, Tianci City, Ili River Valley, Broken Leaf City, Qiuci City, etc., are all in the hands of the Wang family, and the Wang family has always had a record of commerce and trade.

In recent years, Wang has found that in the trade of the Western Regions, the trade to the plateau has been increasing, and the volume of transactions has also been increasing.

So the Wang family sent a caravan to the plateau, but when they arrived at the plateau, they found that the plateau, which had been a harsh, cold, and almost barren land during the Great Dry Period, had now become very lively.

After hundreds of years of development, the people of this plateau have gradually become stronger. Through cultural exchanges with Tianzhu and the Western Regions, the speed of development is very fast.

At the same time, because of the climate, the environment on the plateau has become much better.

These highland people developed countless tribes on the plateau by planting some hardy crops and grazing cattle and sheep.

The climate here is harsher than the grassland, and the harsh climate also gives the people here a stronger physique, the caravan of the Wang clan traveled all over the plateau and found that if these half-cultivated and half-pastoral plateau tribes can be integrated into a country, their explosive power will be more powerful than the Hu people in the northern grassland.

Although the plateau people are not as numerous as the Hu people, and their living environment is even harsher, they have far greater advantages than the grasslands.

The plateau area is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is located on the plateau with too many steep peaks. Soldiers in the plains wanted to attack the plateau at an unimaginable cost.

More importantly, climate and soil issues. When the Qianjun Dynasty opened up Xining County, it encountered a plateau climate, and ordinary soldiers would soon fall ill when they came here, and they were not at all the opponents of those plateau people.

However, the plateau people can come and go here, relying on the dangerous passes, and they can go down the mountain and plunder at will.

As for iron tools and armor, the plateau people established cities because they were half-cultivated and half-pastoral, and there were also blacksmiths who could make tools and armor weapons, although they were not as advanced as the Central Plains, but they were much stronger than the Hu people in the north.

Half-cultivation and half-pasture give them enough foundation, and the condescending terrain gives them a strategic advantage, if they can establish a unified country, it is not good news for the Great Sui and Zhuxia.

"What is the situation on the plateau now?" Wang Xuanze asked.

"I heard that many tribes have united and are fighting each other, and if it continues, it is very likely that there will be a victor who will unify the plateau." The man continued.

"Is there anything you can do? For example, support those weak tribes and pit them against each other. ”

"Big brother, no, although the family's strength in the Western Regions is good, it can't support the war of hundreds of thousands of people, and in case the plateau is finally unified, after continuous fighting and tempering, after gaining enough experience and equipment, I'm afraid that their strength will be stronger."

"Moreover, in addition to the Western Regions, the people on the plateau can also obtain supplies from Tianzhu."

"The situation facing this Great Sui is a bit grim!"

"Big brother, even if everything goes well, it will take at least twenty years for the plateau to be unified, maybe the Great Sui will be dead by then."

"Since this is the case, I won't get involved, but I will continue to do the intelligence gathering and strength of the plateau, and by the way, the dangers and passes in the plateau, as well as the map, will also be drawn in case of future needs." Wang Xuanze said.

"No!"

"Big brother, the problem in Liaodong is even more serious."

At that time, Liu Song unified the world and also ruled Liaodong, but because of the cold climate and sparse population, Liu Song did not attach importance to Liaodong, and even moved back part of the population of Liaodong because of the Xianbei plundering of Liaodong.

When Liu Song waited for the internal strife of the king of the sect, the Saijun County in Liaodong was even less concerned. Without the support of the Central Plains, several counties in eastern Liaodong and Lelang County were attacked and occupied by others.

These eastern Liaodong tribes are also semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic, and through two hundred years of development, they have occupied most of the eastern Liaodong area.

It became the most powerful country in Liaodong, and even after the establishment of the Great Sui State, it did not send anyone to recover the three counties of Liaodong.

It is really because the roads in Liaodong are difficult to travel, and those Liaodong people build mountain cities by the mountains and rivers, this kind of city is very dangerous and extremely difficult to be broken.

Now Liaodong is the first power in the land of Liaodong, and even the Xianbei people and Turkic people in the north are not their opponents.

As for the Lelang County further south, it was also occupied by the Liaodong Kingdom, and several other small states such as Silla and Baekje on the peninsula completely depended on its snort.

Liaodong now has a population of one million and has been in conflict with the Sui Dynasty for many years.

The Sui Dynasty now faces a threat not only from the north, but also from the southwest and northeast.

"I have personally been to this Liaodong country, its people are numerous, and they are brave and good at fighting, most of the countries are mountain cities, it is extremely difficult to attack, if you want to destroy Liaodong, it will be a protracted war."

"Liaodong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, don't think that you can defeat them at one time, although their strength is not weak, but they are still far worse than the Central Plains."

"You can completely rely on the manpower and material resources of the Central Plains to consume them, fight several battles every year, as long as it lasts for ten or eight years, this Liaodong country will be dragged down, and then it will be destroyed in another battle!"

"Liaodong is different from the Beidi Hu people, they have their own culture, they have their own writing, this is a civilization that is very different from Zhuxia, he is a threat to Zhuxia civilization, we must erase this civilization!" The clansman who had personally been to Liaodong said.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were much more solemn, this is a dispute between civilization and Taoism, and there is no room for carelessness.
