Early in the morning of the second day, He Si'an, Xu Shu and a few other people stood outside the city gate.

He Si'an stood in front of the group and respectfully handed a willow branch to Jia Xu with both hands.

"In the past, I went back, and the willows followed; Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling! Mr... Treasure all the way! He Si'an said in a choked voice.

Jia Xu took the willow branch and looked at He Si'an with tears in the corners of his eyes, Jia Xu still held back his reluctance and hugged his fists to everyone, and then turned to leave.

After about a stick of incense, Chengdu behind him can no longer be seen, Jia Xu instructed the coachman to slow down the horse, and walked for a while, only to see a young man riding a bull coming on, this person's face is like a silver basin, dark skin, two thick eyebrows fly obliquely into the sideburns, and a nose facing the sky is more eye-catching.

Seeing the figure of the young man, Jia Xu ordered the coachman to stop.

The young man also held the reins when he was on Jia Xu's side, and the old and the young looked at each other at a distance of about one meter.

After a few breaths, the young man took the lead in clenching his fists and said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Wenhe!" ”

Jia Xu nodded, did not speak, but lowered the curtain and let the coachman continue the journey. The two of them passed by, walking towards their goal.

...

Autumn goes to spring, and in the blink of an eye, it is another year.

In the second year of Jian'an, that is, in 197 A.D., although last year due to the impact of the climate, the harvest in the Central Plains was not as good as in previous years, but fortunately, there was no large-scale conquest, and the major forces also tried their best to recuperate, but there would not be a large-scale famine.

In order to curb Cao Cao's further development, Yuan Shao's generals Wen Chou and Ju Yi were stationed in Yin'an and Liyang counties respectively, across the river from Cao Cao.

As a result, Cao Cao had to mobilize a large army in order to prevent Yuan Shao's surprise attack, and ordered his general Cao Ren to lead the troops and station them in Baima County, west of Puyang.

Although both sides know that the garrison is mostly a shock at this moment, it still gives people a depressing feeling that a big war is coming!

On the other hand, although the rest of the large, medium and small princes did not have as strong troops and horses as Yuan and Cao, they also had their own dilemmas, especially Ma Chao and Yuan Shu, who had just been the emperor for a year.

After nearly ten years of war in Liangzhou, the people were already running around, and now Ma Chao had to follow Lou Gui's suggestion to introduce a part of the Huns into the army in order to increase his strength. In order to maintain the food and clothing of the army, the measures taken by Ma Chao were to trade with Wudu and increase taxes!

Ma Chao himself also knows that this is only a temporary solution, not a long-term solution, so as soon as the spring begins, Ma Chao learned from Longxi and implemented the military tun system, but whether it can have the corresponding effect is unknown.

If Ma Chao is said to be because his own strength is indeed insufficient, then Yuan Shu is completely opposite to Ma Chao.

Even if Runan is lost, Yuan Shu's strength should not be underestimated, after all, Shouchun and Guangling are both rich land and water, far better than the barren Xiliang, but since the loss of Runan, Yuan Shu not only did not consider how to recover the lost territory, but ordered his subordinates to loot Guangling, and then all the troops were concentrated in Shouchun, building city walls, digging canals, etc., with the intention of defending Shouchun County!

Compared with the tranquility before the storm in the Central Plains, Jincheng County at this time is a completely different scene!

"Patriarch, Young Master Chang Geng is still young, you don't need to lead the troops in person, just have me and Boyu!" Although he would not change the matter once the patriarch decided, Li Wenhou still tried to persuade him!

"Chang Gung and the two princesses can be taken care of by Ana, a hundred years ago, my Yue clan was driven out of the Western Regions and wandered so far, and this Western Expedition is the best opportunity for a snow shame, as a Yue clan royal family, how can I stay in the rear and watch the people in the clan fight?"

Yu Chi Yanyan was dressed in a military uniform, and she changed her previous weakness and coquettishness in front of He Si'an, but she was full of heroism!

Soon, Yu Chi Yanyan came to the place where the team assembled, and at this time, all ethnic groups in the school factory had been assembled. From a distance, there are seventy or eighty thousand!

Yu Chi Yanyan pulled her horse and came to the front, her eyes swept sharply over the patriarchs of all clans, but the originally noisy school factory became silent at this moment.

"Although the so-called 'Thirty-six Countries of the Western Regions' is famous, in fact, these 36 countries are pitifully small. With a population of about 10,000, this is a big country in the Western Regions. In a small country, there are only a few dozen households, and the largest number of households is only 70,000.

This is the first expedition of our Western Regions Protectorate, and the target is the countries at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, most of which have only about 1,000 households! Among them, the largest Loulan has a population of only more than 10,000 people, and there are two or three thousand soldiers who can fight!

This expedition to our Western Regions Protectorate nearly 100,000 troops, the troops are divided into two routes, one is personally led by me, responsible for capturing Ruoqiang, Loulan, Jimo, Xiaowan, Jingjue, Ronglu, Shumi, Qule, Yuwen, Shache, including the ten countries in the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

The other road was led by tens of millions of patriarchs, responsible for capturing the twelve kingdoms of the northern foot of the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, including Shule, Yutou, Wensu, Gumo, Qiuzi, Wulei, Quli, Yuli, Weixu, Yancheng, Moshan, and Huhu.

Do you have any comments? ”

This matter was originally discussed by the patriarchs of various clans before, and naturally no one raised objections.

Yu Chi Yanyan turned her horse and came to the front of the tens of millions of patriarchs, and said: "The Han people once said that the army will be attacked, the second will be the enemy, the second will be the army, and the next will attack the city!"

In this expedition, if you are interested in joining the government of our Western Regions Protectorate, you don't need to meet each other directly, and we will have follow-up troops to bring the surrenderers back to Jincheng County later! Thousands of patriarchs remember! ”

"Don't worry, the lord of the mansion knows in my heart, just like His Royal Highness King Hongnong said, what we need is the population! As long as there are many people, the territory is not enough, let's fight again! Wan patted his chest and spoke boldly.

"Good! The whole army obeys the order! ”

As she spoke, Yu Chi Yanyan turned her horse's head, drew her sword and pointed it directly at the west, and shouted: "Let's go!" ”

If someone who knows the goods sees the sword in Yu Chi Yanyan's hand, they will definitely exclaim!

This turned out to be the Heavenly Sword known as 'the long sword Geng Geng leaning on the sky'!

…

At the same time, in the Chengdu Supervision Hospital, He Si'an looked at the far north, and his eyes were far away!

'I want to come to Yanyan will personally lead the troops, have a smooth journey, and the husband is waiting for the good news of your triumph! ’

At this time, footsteps sounded outside, He Si'an turned around, only to see a heroic young man walking quickly, and after seeing He Si'an, he knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and said: "Minister Zhaoyun, I have seen the lord!" ”

"Zilong doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly!" He Si'an took a few steps, helped Zhao Yun up, and looked at the scars on the other party's face, which were left during the battle of Yucheng at that time, He Si'an patted Zhao Yun's shoulder, and everything was silent.

After the two of them sat down, Zhao Yun couldn't hold back the first and said excitedly: "The lord is really wise, although Pang Shiyuan is young and his appearance is not good, but he is really a strange person!" ”

"Oh? What did Shiyuan do? Zilong, talk to me! Seeing that Zhao Yun took the initiative to mention it, He Si'an also asked curiously.

"Although Lord Yang Ang Yang and Lord Zhang Liao are both experienced in a hundred battles, it is natural to lead troops to fight, but they are inexperienced in handling government affairs.

Pang Tong just defected to us, the lord appointed him as the governor of the two counties, in charge of the government affairs of Wudu and Longxi counties, originally Zhang and Yang were quite unconvinced, but that Pang Tong was also quite single, and he didn't explain much, just let the two take him to visit the county from county to county, and every place he went to will make the local county Cheng take out all the unresolved documents, and he checked it while listening to the county Cheng tell about the local situation.

Every time you go to a county, it can be as short as one day or as long as two or three days, and the huge people will solve all the problems that have been backlogged in the county for months!

In less than two months, the huge number of people has completed all the official affairs of more than 20 counties in the two counties! Breathtaking!

Then, according to the specific local situation, the huge people directly asked Zhang Liao to come to Zhang Ji, let him be in charge of the government affairs of Wudu, and prepared to divide Wudu into three major areas, including transit, commerce, and workshops. ”

"Wasn't the original business district located in Jincheng County? In addition, isn't the workshop also located near the Salesian Division of Longxi? Does Zilong know the reason? ”

He Si'an interrupted Zhao Yun and asked with a frown. The workshop is just that, but after all, commerce and trade involve the affairs of the Western Regions Protectorate, and it is a matter of foreign races, so He Si'an has to be cautious.

In addition, Pang Tong was born nearly ten years earlier than in the original history, and He Si'an was indeed worried that Pang Tong was young and vigorous, so he sent Zhao Yun to accompany Pang Tong throughout the whole process, one to play the role of guard, and the other to supervise from the side!

"The lord doesn't need to worry, and listen to the clouds one by one!

The so-called commerce is not aimed at foreign races, but at Liangzhou and the Central Plains.

The advice given by the huge people is that since the market is open with foreign races, then don't stick to a corner, after all, Yizhou is still far from the Central Plains compared to the Central Plains! And the lord is not a thing in the pool, sooner or later there will be a war with the Central Plains, the so-called merchants seek profits, with the establishment of Wudu Commerce, it is not only more conducive to purchasing the Central Plains and trading with the Western Regions, but also can help us get the news of the Central Plains. ”

Hearing this, He Si'an finally understood Pang Tong's good intentions.

Although Pang Tong didn't say it explicitly, He Si'an quickly saw the significance of Pang Tong's move.

After all, the Western Regions Protectorate was single-handedly promoted by He Si'an, and if the merchants of the Central Plains were allowed to trade directly with the alien races in the Western Regions, it was likely to dominate the scene, and even the final results would be directly picked up by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others!

Seeing that He Si'an motioned for himself to continue, Zhao Yun continued to speak: "As for the workshop, the reason given by the huge people is that we will have a war with Xiliang sooner or later, instead of setting up a loom factory full of female workers in Longxi, which is close to Xiliang, why not build it directly in Wudu, which is not only convenient for trading, but also backed by Hanzhong, and safety can be fully guaranteed!" ”

He Si'an closed his eyes and thought about what Zhao Yun said just now, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really beneficial and harmless, He Si'an couldn't help but secretly sigh at the famous sentence in his previous life.

Wolong, phoenix chick, one person can settle the world!
