“…… The seventy-two countries of the Western Regions, I heard it when I was a child, and I listened to it as a bedtime story, a huge territory, a golden desert, and a barren Gobi...... The long caravan rang bells through the sand......"

On the royal steps of the palace, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom on the golden throne leaned back on the back of the chair, raised his hands slightly, and gestured with the narration.

There was a dead silence in the hall.

The twenty-four kings of the small countries in the Western Regions, including Itas, the queen of the Yelan Kingdom, looked at the top of the Golden Palace intently, listening to the jokes of this Heavenly Son of the Xia Kingdom, who was more than ten or twenty years younger than them.

No one dared to interrupt, and no one thought that the other party was simply telling them the story of their childhood, and everyone waited quietly for the following.

“…… The exotic scenery is so interesting, you must not have expected that there would be such a little child in the eastern Yan country of the Xirong prairie, who would listen to the stories of your Western Regions every night. ”

Su Chen stopped his gesture, slowly lowered it, put it on his knees, and then opened his eyes: "The Western Regions are rich in products and vast territory, but there are seventy-two countries crowded in one place, the small one is like a small county under the Xia Kingdom, and the big one is also a county, with the same language, but different customs.

However, this is also good, creating many different cultural customs and regional beauty in the Western Regions. ”

On the left side of the palace of Itas, there are all generals who can conquer and fight in the Xia Kingdom, such as Lu Bu, Li Dao, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Huo Qubing and others.

Listening to Su Chen's talk about the Western Regions, what actually came to mind was the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions that belonged to their world.

"If nothing had happened...... Perhaps, I can play a little further. Huo Qu was sick in the queue, his voice was a little choked, "It is my biggest regret that I didn't hit the foot of Tianshan Mountain." ”

"Huo Huqi, you are content, Lu Bu in front of you could have made better achievements, but he was hanged on the White Gate Tower." Qin Qiong whispered, causing Lu Bu to turn his head from the front, glaring at him with an unkind gaze, and then looked at the kings of the Western Regions in this hall.

"At that time, there was no hope for a certain family, but they could conquer the Western Regions here...... It's kind of making up for regrets. ”

……

"But...... I thought that there could be so many countries in the seventy-two countries of the Western Regions, and it should be difficult for each of them to fight, so I failed to achieve unification. After destroying some countries, I realized that the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions were so incompetent, and the people of the Western Regions did not have the vigilance to fight fiercely and dangerously, let alone the courage to fight the enemy to the death! ”

On the royal steps, Su Chen didn't care about the kings below at all, and slapped each other in the face with every sentence, just to see if anyone dared to come out to oppose it, and after this matter was over, he would find a reason to clean it up one by one.

But on the other hand, it was precisely because of the incompetence of these people that he was able to take the Western Regions in his hands so smoothly.

Su Chen looked at the silence below, squinted his eyes, and the words fell for a moment, and no one came out to disagree.

He smiled with satisfaction, got up from the big chair, put his hands behind his back, and walked around the desk with his boots and walked to the imperial steps.

"I'm twenty-seven years old this year, eat twenty-eight meals, don't think that I'm younger than you, just think that what I'm saying here is all whimsical, the emperors of the six countries who have this idea, the grave grass is all one tall."

Su Chen knocked on the guardrail and walked down the imperial steps, he said as he walked, and the words resounded among the generals on both sides and the kings of the Western Regions.

"It's not easy for me to come to the Western Regions, and since I'm here, I'll work harder, finish things early, and save myself another trip next time.

Rest assured, I am not a person who is easy to kill, and the people of the Western Regions cannot afford to be killed, so you still need to manage it well. ”

The words stopped, and after Bai Nani finished conveying the words, Su Chen added: "The Western Regions were merged into the Xia Kingdom and renamed Xizhou, I originally wanted to call it Xiniu Hezhou, but forget it, the name is simpler and easier to remember." What do you think? ”

The kings of the Western Regions on the right looked at each other after listening to the translation, they were attached to the Xia Kingdom, but they didn't expect to come over today, but what they heard was that the Western Regions were included in the territory of the Xia Kingdom, which was a bit beyond their expectations.

"My Majesty asks you, answer!"

Dian Wei's voice exploded like thunder in this palace, and Itas, the queen of Yelan Kingdom, although she was psychologically a man, her body and personality were weak after all, and she was directly scared when Dian Wei yelled at her.

The twenty-three kings of the small countries in the Western Regions were also shocked and hurriedly responded.

"Obey the will of the Son of Heaven."

The situation is stronger than people, and the Xia army is stationed in Yelan Country, not to mention whether they will be killed on the spot, even if they go back and give them time to prepare, it will be difficult to resist the siege of the Xia army.

Especially with the Xirong grassland as the backing, once the war starts, their supplies will not be affected, and they will be besieged, for a long time, it is estimated that there can be living people in the city is God's grace.

"I'm a general with a loud voice, right?"

Su Chen waved his hand to let Dian Wei return to his original position, and then turned around and walked back to the imperial steps.

"Okay, the matter of the Naxi Domain's entry into the Xia Kingdom as the Western State has been decided, and next, let's continue to discuss."

And also?

The kings of the Western Regions slowly raised their eyes, and their eyelids jumped a few times.

Seeing their reactions, Su Chen smiled, sat back on the golden throne, and continued: "Xizhou has been merged into my Great Xia, and you can't continue to be the ...... of this king."

As soon as these words came out, they could be regarded as stepping on the tail of the kings of these countries, after all, this is what is related to their vital interests.

The quiet palace was suddenly noisy, the voices of the twenty-three people buzzed non-stop, Lu Bu's eyes were sharp, and he stretched out his hand and pressed on the hilt of the sword, Ma Chao, Yu Chigong, Li Xuanba and the others turned their eyes and looked at these people unkindly.

Among the kings of the Western Regions, King Liugeng of Tiele frowned, he had always looked at Xia Guo as the horse, and this time he was also very uncomfortable.

He stepped forward and was just about to speak, when suddenly, the eyes of the generals of the Xia Kingdom on the left side brushed over and fell on him.

King Liugeng suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and rushed straight to the back of his neck from his back, and when he reached his mouth, he instantly held back.

Su Chen's gaze narrowed as he looked at the Tiele King who came out.

"King Liugeng? Do you have any objections? ”

Bai Nani's face was complicated, and she relayed the words.

King Liugeng, who had just held back his words, had a stronger chill on his body, his expression was a little stunned, and when he was asked by Su Chen, his face turned around, his expression was solemn, and he bowed solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I'm ...... I...... I think what Your Majesty said is extremely holy. Come out and give it a compliment. ”

Bai Nani was stunned, endured the smile that was about to turn up the corners of her mouth, and translated the words to Su Chen, who laughed: "Isn't it idealism? ”

"This is a word of righteousness!" King Liugeng bowed and bowed again.

This sudden change made the kings of all countries almost flash their waists, they had a whisper in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, they could only bury their heads, and probably protest with silence.

"Hehe, I know what you think, but it doesn't matter, what I want is the Western Regions, what I want is the people of the Western Regions, in my eyes, you can't compare with the Emperor of Yue and the Emperor of Wu who descended to me!"

Su Chen's attitude towards barbarians has always been tough, this is clear to everyone, and at this moment, his words gradually rose up, unlike the gentle tone just now.

“…… It is precisely because there are so many countries in the Western Regions, and there are these kings who are powerful and prosperous, and they can't govern the people or fight wars, so what do I want you to do? From now on, the cities of Xizhou will be changed to counties, that is, the twenty-four counties of Xizhou, as for you! ”

Su Chen's fingers knocked on the golden armrest one by one, and there was a slight 'click' sound, as if knocking on the hearts of the kings.

"I am not a ruthless person, the name of the king can no longer be used, demoted to a duke, passed on to two generations, after two generations, the food is divided to your heirs, passed on from generation to generation, how about my favor?"

Push Grace Order......

The Chinese generals are no strangers to this thing, but they are still quite novel to the kings of the Western Regions in this world, and when they heard that their names had dropped, but their treatment had not been reduced, and they could still be passed on, they suddenly had a smile on their faces.

As for the later sub-seals, they thought about it roughly, two generations...... Their bones are almost weathered, where can they care about the affairs of their descendants?

They are all kings of small countries, with limited abilities, and they do not have the ambition and skill of the emperors of the eastern countries.

At the moment, being pressed on the cutting board, and still getting the benefits and getting out, many people are still happy in their hearts, at least they are still in their son's generation, they still don't have to worry about food and clothing, and continue to live a luxurious life of the Venerable.

The matter was settled, and the atmosphere in the palace was finally much relaxed, and by noon, Itas had prepared a banquet in the palace, all of which were traditional food and wine from the Western Regions.

A group of kings of small countries naturally followed Su Chen to dine together, when they came, their hearts were up and down, not knowing the next fate, now that the dust has settled, the fate of themselves and their descendants has been resolved, and they are all smiling and quite active in the banquet.

Even the turtle chariot, the ghost woman, and several other kings came out and danced the Western Regions dance in the middle of the main hall to cheer up Su Chen and the Chinese generals.

There are also wearing light orchids to enter the palace, dancing the kind of dance with the navel exposed, wearing a bell and stepping on the ground with bare feet, bringing boldness and sexiness at the same time, shaking the slender waist, and throwing flattering eyes at the surrounding generals from time to time.

"Don't compare with my Chinese women, just looking at these orchids in the Western Regions, it is also unique." Wei Chigong said with a smile.

Qin Qiong next to him glanced at the pinched and deformed silver wine glass in his hand: "You are a person with two mothers-in-law, don't look at these." ”

Hearing the old brother mention his two ladies, Wei Chigong subconsciously looked towards the door of the hall, and after reacting, he glared back: "The two of them didn't come again, since they didn't come, don't you allow me to take a look?" ”

The atmosphere of the banquet was warm, and it was really not a blow for the people of the Western Regions to be good at singing and dancing, from the king to the dancing queen below, everyone had a hand.

This banquet can wash away Su Chen's food and sleeping along the way.

When the banquet dispersed, in the afternoon, Su Chen summoned twenty-four kings to the side hall one by one to ask them individually, of course, Bai Nani was also present, after all, only this woman knew both the Chinese dialect and the dialects of the Western Regions.

After that, the details of the reduction of the countries of the Western Regions to counties were finalized, and after being translated into the Western Regions, more than 20 copies were copied for the kings to take back, and the above steps began to be implemented.

And the first step is to convey Su Chen's will to the people, and the merger of the Western Regions into the Xia Kingdom, no matter the color of hair and skin, as long as you learn the words of Huaxia, accept the words of Huaxia, and wear the clothes of Huaxia, you can call yourself a person of Huaxia.

In the second step, not long after the kings left, Su Chen summoned the Chinese generals for a court meeting.

The establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, and the opening of the Huaxia Hongwen Museum, will be set up in the twenty-four cities to set up a number of schools.

The third step is to check the number of soldiers and horses in each city in the Western Regions, and only retain the only few troops such as defending the city and law and order, and not more than 2,000.

The rest were all under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

After this charter was implemented, everyone immediately discovered that this Western Regions Protectorate was probably the most powerful of all the states and counties.

It is much stronger than Xirong's Pacification Division.

As for who the first Metropolitan Protector and Chief Protector are, Su Chen has not yet decided, after all, after all, the Western Regions will be used as a buffer with the Western side, and this side can be regarded as a perennial combat readiness area.

The person in charge must have the all-round talent who leads the overall situation and strategizes!

At present, the commanders in Su Chen's hands, such as Li Jing and Hou Junji, are good, but Li Jing has to stay by his side all the time and use them to go on the expedition at any time; As for Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan, although they have experienced the ability to be commanders, they are still a little worse than the above.

"Hou Junji's words, he will be transferred here to cooperate with Su Dingfang."

Back at the mansion in the city, the ancestral locomotive was bustling around, and the emperors were sitting around the table at this time, enjoying the national wine of Yelan Country and smelling the fragrant roasted whole sheep.

"I knew that this was the case here, I should have let Li Jing finish cleaning up the Turks and take advantage of the situation to beat the Western Regions!" Li Shimin smelled the aroma of wine and talked about the beauties of the Western Regions, which caused Cao Cao and other emperors who liked beautiful women to nod again and again.

Even Zhu Wen jumped on the spiritual seat and came over to join in the fun.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everything on the table, his expression was a little complicated for some reason, he looked at Zhu Di who was talking and laughing with Liu Bei beside him, and suddenly spoke: "Fourth, you were ...... back then." Really hit Mobei? South to the jungle? ”

"Didn't my father already know?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and was a little scared: "I'm afraid that others will say that the child is not in the right position, so ...... The child worked hard...... Do more achievements for the Ming Dynasty to prove that the child is a qualified emperor of the old Zhu family......"

"Needless to say!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and then pressed it on his son's shoulder, "Fourth, you have worked hard." ”

“…… Father. ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and the emperors around him were also stunned by Zhu Yuanzhang's words. The latter laughed heartily, without the melancholy just now.

"Look at what we are doing, we have a good son, who can fight habitually, no worse than we were back then, and also hit the land of the extreme north and south, can your son do it?"

"You can do it, you can do it!"

The emperors who were scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, and among the sons under their knees, there was really no one like Zhu Di.

Talking lively, Su Chen over there sat on the tiger skin chair, leaning on the back of the chair with one leg, holding a large string of tokens in his hand and shaking it with a clanging sound.

"After all, now, the Xirong grassland is fully handed over to Subutai. In the future, the expedition to the west, the steppe cavalry in his hands is the main force to fight the vanguard! ”

Just think about it, and reproduce the scene of the Mongolian expedition to the west.

Su Chen was a little excited.

Behind him, Temujin, who looked like an old shepherd on the steppe, also showed a sinister expression.

"This time, we clenched the blade in our hands and slaughtered all the way! I couldn't wait, and swung my scimitar at their necks. ”
