Today, more than two months have passed since the 40,000-strong army set out.

This good news came faster than Liu He imagined.

When he was a child, Liu He saw a note sent in by the cabinet duty room in the Jiaofang Palace.

It's a big win!

But because there was more than one good news, more than a dozen came overnight.

Thinking that the good news from the last came was more important, and I kept catching up with the good news from the previous one, and it was piled up overnight.

Zhang Anshi and others did not dare to rashly present the scattered good news to the Son of Heaven, so they only sent the news of the great victory to the Jiaofang Palace.

These cabinet scholars, together with Sima Wangji, the Grand Master of Sima Mansion, rushed to the cabinet overnight and carefully sorted out more than a dozen good news, and finally put them together in one book.

So until now, Liu He didn't know how big this victory was.

Just now, when Liu He stepped into the cabinet room, the first thing he wanted to read was this book about good news.

But he was like an old-fashioned diner, and he wanted to put the best dish on the table to the end, so he didn't put down his chopsticks for a long time.

Now that the rest of the dishes have been eaten, it's finally time to start tasting this main course.

Liu He opened the book with some trembling, and looked down sentence by sentence under the expectant gaze of Zhang Anshi and others.

Sure enough, it was an unprecedented victory.

Han Zeng's troops went out of the fortress for 3,000 miles, found the main force of Huyan Shan Yu in the lower reaches of Zhiju water, and relied on gunpowder arrows to disperse the Xiongnu Chinese army, and then finally charged head-on.

In one day and one night, more than 30,000 Xiongnu kings, horsemen and soldiers were killed, and more than 70,000 horses, cattle, donkeys, mules, camels, and more than 300,000 sheep were killed.

The Xiongnu Shan Yu Wang Hu Yan Yan was also beheaded by Han De, the prince of Han Zeng's department.

Zhao Chongguo's department went out of the fortress for 4,000 miles, found the Youxian Wang's department near Shan Yuting, and sent cavalry to raid late at night, using gunpowder to attack.

The grassland was dry and dry, and the entire Shan Yuting was burned, and more than 100,000 Huns died eight or nine, and the corpses were all over the field.

When the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Xulu Quanqu led his troops to break through the siege, he entered the Han army and died.

After that, the armies of Han and Zhao patrolled the desert, constantly chasing and destroying, and killed and captured nearly 100,000 enemies.

The remaining remnants of the Xiongnu retreated westward under the leadership of Tu Qitang, the king of Youxian, to escape the Han army.

Unexpectedly, he ran into the Wusun army assisted by Chang Hui, and was defeated again, with 70,000 or 80,000 casualties.

Subsequently, the three-way army surrounded the Xiongnu tribes, launched a general attack, and then annihilated the Xiongnu in tens of thousands, and Tu Qitang, the king of Youxian, also died.

There were only 10,000 or 20,000 Huns who escaped from Ascension, and they didn't even dare to stay at the edge of the Western Regions, and they went all the way to the west, nowhere to be found.

After this battle, the population of the Xiongnu was reduced by more than ninety percent, and it was no longer possible to pose a threat to the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions.

Looking at the words on the book, Liu He's eyes saw terrible scenes on the grasslands and deserts.

The yellow and green grasslands were covered with red blood, the blackened and stinking corpses were piled higher than the sand dunes, and the cattle and sheep were herds but unclaimed......

The victorious Han army continued to pursue the remnants of the enemy excitedly and excitedly, and there were wide-eyed Hun thieves on both sides of the saddle......

The defeated Huns fled westward with numb expressions, and lost the sparkle of survival in their eyes......

The weak eat the strong, Liu He has no mercy for them, either blending into the blood of the Han or fleeing away from Europa.

Otherwise, there is only a dead end.

Since then, there have been no large numbers of Huns in the south and north of the desert.

"Have you read this book?" Liu He calmed down, put down the book in his hand, and asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions, there will be no more wars from now on!" Zhang Anshi finally found an opportunity to praise the Son of Heaven.

Regardless of the differences in positions, the attitude of the subjects of the Han Dynasty towards the Huns would not be too different.

People like Huo Yu who want to sell their country for glory are a minority after all, and even an outlier.

After Zhang Anshi and others saw the good news last night, they had already admired the Son of Heaven to the ground.

In the Han Dynasty, no matter who it is, as long as it can press the Huns to the ground and fight, it will be respected by everyone.

What's more, a year ago, when Huo Guang was in power, Dahan had just experienced a big defeat that was not a big defeat.

In just one year, Dahan can achieve such a hearty victory, how can it not be exciting?

Zhang Anshi had to admit that this great victory was closely related to the Son of Heaven, and even more closely related to the New Deal of the Son of Heaven.

The expressions of the scholars were well concealed, but like the Son of Heaven, their joys were already full of joy, and they did not vomit or be unhappy.

Therefore, after Zhang Anshi finished speaking, the rest of the people also got up again and saluted the Son of Heaven.

This time it's not flattery, it's not going through the motions, it's genuine awe.

"This is not the credit of me, it is the credit of the front-line soldiers, and the credit of the people of the world." Liu He said calmly, "Hurry up and calm down." ”

"No!"

"Draw up an edict to Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng......"

Fan Ke, who was sitting in the corner, hurriedly started writing and immediately started writing.

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous overlord!"

Liu He's first sentence amazed and inspired everyone present, such a spirit is something that ordinary people can have.

"The Xiongnu are at the end of their crossbows, and the two generals continue to pursue, and they will drive the Huns out of the west of the desert, so that they will not dare to ......look east from now on."

"All the captives were taken to Jiuquan and Zhangye, and then they were taken to Shu and Jiangnan respectively.

This shocked Zhang Anshi and others, in the past, the Xiongnu also had surrenderers, and most of them were placed in the counties north of the Yellow River.

These places were also the birthplace of the Huns, and they were able to adapt to it.

But the climate of Shu is different, wet, cold and foggy, not suitable for grazing.

When the Huns got there, not to mention that they couldn't stand the climate, they had to adapt to the diet again.

Zhang Anshi vaguely guessed the thoughts of the Son of Heaven, although they felt very innovative, but it was inevitably a little bizarre.

"Your Majesty, the Huns live by grazing, and it is better to live in the grassland desert......"

"Although Shu is known as the land of abundance, the land is flat, and it is sheltered by Dujiangyan, but the Huns will not farm, I am afraid it is not suitable for ......"

Zhang Anshi cautiously admonished, but it was not so much an admonition as a temptation.

"The Huns don't know how to farm, so let them learn, and Dasi Nong can send someone to teach them...... Only by changing customs can you become the people of the Han Dynasty, otherwise you will be the enemy of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Let Da Si Nong handle this matter well."

"I can give them the ploughing of the oxen, the fields, the grain of the two years, the method of planting."

Liu He's words were very indifferent, but the meaning of the expression was also very clear.

This time, it was not to appease the Huns, but to "exterminate" the Huns in the true sense.

This is in line with Zhang Anshi's thoughts, and at the moment, he even claimed that he had no objections.

After another period of deliberation, the edict to be issued was finally drawn up.

Hundreds of thousands of Huns would enter Shu in batches, cross the river, and then completely disperse and distribute them to various counties, and finally change them into agricultural people.

There are tens of millions of Chinese people in Shu and Jiangnan, and they can completely digest them in blood and genes.

This is only the first edict, Liu He struck while the iron was hot, and officially pushed out all the strategies for the Western Regions that had been set a long time ago.

"Since there is no more war in the Western Regions, the strategy of the Western Regions will be steadily implemented from today onwards." Liu He said resolutely.

"No!" Zhang Anshi and the others replied in unison, and then each set up their pens and inks in front of them.

After a year of running-in, the cabinet scholars have a basic division of labor, and they each know what to do without Liu He's special instructions.

As previously assumed, the Cabinet Scholars are still not allowed to meddle in practice, but they have a corresponding government office.

After the edict of the Son of Heaven was decided, the cabinet was not allowed to change it without authorization, and it had to be issued in the original language, and at most it could only be supervised and implemented from the side.

If you change the content of the edict of the Son of Heaven without authorization, even if it is just a word, you may be charged with conveying the edict.

In the past few hundred days, everyone has seen the thunderous methods of the Son of Heaven, and no one dares to disobey the yang and the yin anymore.

Just like now, the Son of Heaven issued an edict, Fan Ke drafted the edict, the cabinet scholars determined the details of the edict, the Son of Heaven sealed, and the cabinet issued it to various government offices, and then urged it to be followed......

A set of processes is very efficient.

"The second edict was issued to the border counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan, Wuyuan and Shuofang, ordering the county guards to strictly guard the key roads in various passes, and forbade merchants to go to the south and north of the desert to trade ......"

"Iron tools, salt, grain, and medicines of all kinds are not to be exported."

"When such commodities go to the countries of the Western Regions, the flow must also be strictly checked, and once it is found that there are merchants who have trade dealings with scattered Xiongnu thieves, they will be punished according to the crime of deceiving the king and treasoning against the Han!"

"All the goods and money are filled into the water balance bank, and the prisoners can also be executed on the spot, and all the relatives and family members are used as official slaves."

"It's better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go!"

Zhang Anshi and the others recorded quickly, and they didn't raise their heads, they knew that the strict order of the Son of Heaven was to trap the scattered Huns.

In the past, no matter how fierce the two sides fought, the trade route between the Han and the Xiongnu was not completely severed, and the bold merchants still secretly made this money.

But this time, the Son of Heaven said it ruthlessly and violently, and made the consequences clear.

If you want to make this money again, you don't lick the blood on the tip of the knife, but lick the knife in the blood.

In this way, Zhang Anshi had a new understanding of the decisive decision of the Son of Heaven, and a cold sweat broke out slightly.

"The third edict was issued to Sima Fu, and the men and horses of the cavalry lieutenant were transferred to Jiuquan County to assist the Jiuquan County guard, and they were specifically responsible for inspecting merchants on the trade routes."

"The fourth edict was issued to Guanglu Temple, and officials were transferred from the subject country to build the Western Regions Protectorate in Luntai.

"The Western Regions protect all countries in the east and west regions from the west of Yumen to the east and west of the Green Mountains, and at the same time monitor Wusun and Dawan, and in case of chaos, you can send troops to fight for it."

"The fifth edict was issued to Dasi Nong, and the people were immediately recruited and transferred in Sanfu to form a tuntian team, and next year they will leave for the Western Regions to protect the territory and station."

"The Tuntian team is counted as a pawn in the prime of life, serving as a soldier in peacetime, and being a soldier in wartime, with five households and one army, ten households and one tithe, fifty households and one tun, and one hundred households and one team, all of which can receive money and grain."

"In addition, cattle and farm tools are distributed to each household, and the cultivated fields and cattle and sheep raised in the Western Regions are protected, and no taxes are collected for ten years, and only half of the tax is collected for twenty years."

"In addition, all the Tuntian teams are under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, and in case of enemy attacks, they can act on camera and change from people to soldiers at any time."

Hearing this, Zhang Anshi and the others stopped writing, they had long known that the Son of Heaven was going to establish the Western Regions Protectorate, and they also knew that the Son of Heaven intended to let Liu Yi serve as the Western Regions Protector.

But what they didn't expect was that the Son of Heaven would give the Western Regions Protectorate so much power.

Not only can it directly govern the 36 countries of the Western Regions, but it can also directly command the coalition forces of the countries in the Western Regions, and even mobilize the Tuntian team with tens of thousands of strong soldiers.

This trust is a bit excessive.

Everyone knows that Liu Aiji's identity is very sensitive.

Although Liu Ai's legal identity was confirmed by the edict of the Son of Heaven, and he was recreated, Liu Ai was also very loyal to the Son of Heaven, and the uncle and nephew had no suspicions.

Although Liu Ying is an official with 2,000 stones, he is separated from the Son of Heaven by 108,000 miles, and he cannot threaten the status of the Son of Heaven.

But there is one thing that cannot be denied.

The Son of Heaven has no heirs, if there is a day...... If the Son of Heaven is unexpected.

So the person who inherited the Great Han Sect Temple turned out to be this Liu Aiji-he is the invisible prince.

It's an invisible gap.

Zhang Anshi and the others' faces became strange and subtle, as if they wanted to admonish, but they didn't know where to speak.

Liu He understood what they were thinking, but he didn't care.

Liu Yi will no longer be a threat to him, and may even become a knife, a knife that can be used for himself.

If you plant a seed in your heart, you may not know what kind of tree will grow in the future, it may be a tree on the grave.

Of course, Liu He will not forget that he will also make a scabbard for this knife.

"Officials of the Western Regions Protectorate with more than 600 stones are not allowed to return to Chang'an without an edict."

"No!" Zhang Anshi and the others hurriedly reined in their strange expressions and responded in succession.

"The sixth edict is given to Zongzheng Liu Anmin and Dahonglu Fu Jiezi, so that they can choose the daughters of princes of the right age or the daughters of the clan to ...... with Wusun Kingdom."

This is not a humiliating harmony, but a good way to intervene in the political affairs of Wusun State.

In the past ten years, Wusun Kingdom has bowed down to the Han Dynasty, thanks to harmony.

Today's Wusun State lord Weng Guimi is married to Liu Jiewu, the king of Chu Yuan, after Liu Jiao, so he is so kind to the Han Dynasty.

Good policies should be continued.

"In addition, let the countries of the Western Regions select the talents of their own clans and send them to Chang'an City to study."

said that they were asked to come to Taixue to learn the words of the sages, but in fact, while coming as hostages, they felt the enlightenment of the Han Dynasty: they will definitely become pro-Han when they return to China in the future.

It seems that the Son of Heaven is not only interested in the Western Regions in the narrow sense, but also has ambitions for the Western Regions in the broad sense.

At the moment, Zhang Anshi and the others did not have any objections, but just truthfully wrote down what they were going to do.

After the most important thing was said, Liu He brought up the new tax policy to be implemented in the coming year, and then left the cabinet under the congratulations of everyone.

When he walked to the gate of the Shiqu Pavilion, there was a gust of autumn wind.

The cold is pressing, and the cold winter is coming again.

Liu He remembered the strange expressions of Zhang Anshi and the others just now, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Looking up overhead, although the sky was bright and blue, there was also a dark cloud in the sky.

Dahan has been able to calm down for a long time, and during this time, Liu He still has many things to do.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the greenhouse hall to copy the book?" Fan Ke asked quietly.

"No, go to the Jiaofang Palace."

"No!"

Liu He stepped on, and under the embrace of the guard of honor, he rushed towards the Jiaofang Palace.

Weiyang Palace has been deserted for too long, and it's time to be more popular.
