……

In the Western Regions, Li Dao received a message from the Central Plains, and he was confused.

In particular, the information that was passed on was delivered to him across long distances.

"It's strange, I've gone to Gaochang, and there is still information from the Central Plains to me?" Li Dao's face was puzzled and puzzled.

But for this kind of letter, Li Dao directly chose to dismantle it on the spot and view it.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Li Wei couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and then the whole person slapped the letter on the table, feeling that the whole person was angry.

He has already arrived in Gaochang, and he can still receive Lu Bu's message, which is simply convinced.

Complying with the orders of the military advisor, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others led the army west out of Liangzhou, crossed Zhangye County, Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County, and came directly to the rule of the Western Regions.

replaced the previous lieutenant Wu who was stationed in Gaochang, let him get the edict issued in advance, and returned to Chang'an to wait for the appointment edict again.

After that, Li Dao and Wan Peng directly led 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to station in Gaochang and sent search troops all the way north to search for possible signs of the Xiongnu.

Although this kind of work can be done or not, since the military advisor mentioned it, Li Dao felt that he still had to do it.

As for Guo Yan and Fan Chou, they each brought a legion of Xiliang Iron Knights, and went directly from Gaochang to the west, all the way over.

Including Cheshi, Yanqi, Qiuzi, Shule, Shache, etc., these places are all on the offensive line of Guo Yan and Fan Chou.

However, because of the long distance, and the slow marching speed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Based on Li Wei's personal military literacy, he also knows that without two or three months, he basically can't contact that group of people.

As for whether he could take these small countries in the Western Regions, Li Dao did not have any doubts.

They still have a small country in the Western Regions that can't be pacified?

"Wan Peng, where have you gone!" Li Dao shouted loudly with a dark face.

Wan Peng walked out for some reason, looking at Li Dao, who was still eating food before, and now he is showing this appearance, which is completely inexplicable.

"Is there any information about the Huns?" After seeing Wan Peng, Li Dao handed the letter in his hand to Wan Peng, and asked calmly, "These Northern Huns will not really die, can there be anyone besides us?" ”

Wan Peng took the book for some reason, looked at the content on it, and suddenly understood Li Dao a little.

Lu Bu actually achieved this level, and they didn't even gain a little, no matter how they thought about it, it felt a little strange.

For Lu Bu, Wan Peng also understood Li Dao's attitude a little.

To be precise, Li Dao sees that most of the people in Bingzhou are quite normal, except for Lu Bu.

In this regard, Wan Peng is also quite clear, and he can also understand the reason why Li Dao's face turned dark.

Lu Bu has given the ancestral land of the Xiongnu, and even spread such information all over the world, highlighting Lu Bu's merits, while you are still in the Western Regions, they have all received such information, not to mention the Central Plains.

"I can accept and understand losing to others, but losing to Lu Bu is absolutely not!" Li Wei said with a serious and serious expression, "Increase the search for the Huns, but if you find any clues, you must not let go, even if you are really dead, at least you have to know some of the process, less than thirty years have passed since the Battle of Tianshan, I don't believe that there are not even any clues..."

Wan Peng nodded seriously, indicating that he knew, and then asked, "What about this letter?" ”

"Burn it!" Li Wei didn't even think about it, so he answered.

Wan Peng, who heard this, took the letter and prepared to burn it.

"Wait..."Li Dao, who realized that something was wrong, directly stopped Wan Peng.

Wan Peng turned his head to look at Li Dao with a puzzled face, but he didn't ask, but waited silently.

"Don't burn it yet, put it here first..."Li Wei pointed to his desktop and said with a calm face.

Wan Peng didn't hesitate and handed the letter over directly.

Although he didn't understand, Wan Peng chose to implement what Li Dao said.

"Find a way to contact Addo and them, tell them about this matter, speed up as much as possible, and completely deal with this group of wall grass in the Western Regions!" With a hint of decisiveness in his expression, Li Dao blurted out directly, "We have already arrived at this place, and we still maintain such an attitude, it is really against the sky, we don't know who we are at all, and we are so rampant..."

Wan Peng nodded seriously, then turned around and went to deliver the order.

After Wan Peng left, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sat down in his position, quietly looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself, "Huns, where are you?" If I'm really dead, how can I explain it to the military advisor! ”

…

And to the west of the Jinwei Mountain, at the source of the Irtysh River, around Jaisangbo.

The Huns, who migrated westward, retreated to this place after the defeat in the Battle of the Tianshan Mountains, recuperated, licked their wounds, and recovered from their injuries.

Hu Yanchu listened to the information transmitted by an eagle on the side, and his face sank on the spot, and then returned to his normal expression.

"Come on, prepare the best mutton!" Hu Yanchu said to the guards in the distance, and patted the eagle's back with his hand to express his gratitude for the eagle's reminder.

The eagle raised its head slightly, and kept calling a few times, indicating its attitude and feeling of joy.

Hu Yanchu just smiled simply, and then looked at the east.

"Are you out of the state?!" The Xiongnu looked at the grassland that had been re-exposed because of the melting of the snow, and his expression was much more solemn.

The pastures around Jaisangbo are surrounded by a river and lake, and are quite rich in water and grass, which is very suitable for animal husbandry and breeding.

But this place is so big, it may be able to support a large tribe, but there is absolutely no way to support a large empire.

Although they are declining, they still have the heart of an empire, and no matter how much they fail, they are still an empire.

This place is big, but it can't hold their hearts.

Huyanchu, who has a preliminary understanding of the whole world, understands very well that there is not only one empire in today's world.

At present, there are only five places that can raise the territory of the empire, as far as he knows.

One is the Central Plains of the Han Empire, the other is the Kushan India, and the other two are the Mediterranean Sea owned by Rome and the Sabbatical Empire owned by Parthia.

In addition, there is another place that can raise the empire, that is, the almost endless grassland pastures in the north of the Han Empire.

Even if it is only a stone's throw away from that territory, it can be said that after crossing Jinwei Mountain, you can once again enter that huge grassland.

But Huyanchu didn't dare to make such a determination at all, even if their population was 700,000, more than many ethnic groups on the grassland, he still couldn't make up his mind.

Just like his hatred for the Han Dynasty, he is also clear about his position in the hearts of the Han people.

Not to mention anything else, if you kill him, you will definitely be able to be promoted to a marquis, and this alone has already shown how much his identity is valued by the Han Empire.
