Chapter 322 The Sudden Changes of the Countries (4.2K)

After teasing the two of them, Huo Shan asked about the business:
"How is the situation in the countries of the Western Regions? According to the situation, there should be news, right?"

Zhang Anshi took two pieces of meat and put them in his mouth, then looked at Tian Qianqiu while chewing.

Tian Qianqiu chewed the food in his mouth, and after swallowing it, he said quickly:

"The governor's guess is good. Most of the countries in the Western Regions have received news. The main reason is that there are a lot of people today. I am just about to report."

Then he picked up the cloth bag thrown at the foot of the table, took out a stack of letters from it, stood up, searched through it, and handed a letter to Huo Shan.

"Governor, this is Doctor Guanglu's."

Huo Shan took a look, and it really belonged to his uncle Huo Guang. Huo Shan tore open the seal and read it. After a while, he finished it. Then he said to the two people, mainly Zhang Anshi:
"The situation in the south is very good. According to my uncle, before King Youguli came down, although the various kingdoms had not launched an attack on them, they had always been lukewarm.

So although some results have been achieved, they are not very large.

But after the news of King Youguli's surrender spread, and after his publicity, the situation in the southern countries changed a lot.

Before they arrived at the capital of a country, the lord of the country would come to greet them with soldiers and horses. He asked the four countries that they passed by in the past few days.

And the conditions we put forward are not too harsh, some soldiers and horses and food, not too much, based on the domestic situation.

And our attitude is much better than that of the Xiongnu. Although kindness cannot restrain them, but with the lessons learned from the Xiongnu, they dare not play tricks.

Therefore, the situation in the southern countries can be said to be very good. "

Zhang Anshi nodded, and wrote these down, so as not to analyze the situation in the future, and Huo Shan didn't know anything when he asked, but he also had a little doubt in his heart.

"Governor, our army has so many soldiers and horses, nearly 20, why do we need to call in soldiers and horses from various countries?"

Huo Shan didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but ordered some tables to Tian Qianqiu, asking him to eat first.

Then he took the fan from the sweaty little Lizi, pointed to the fan on the table next to him, and asked him to fan himself, then took the received fan and fanned himself.

Although he made some ice, it was not much. He and Xiao Lizi were not very hot yet, but Zhang Anshi and the other two came, and there were hot meals, and the tent became hot in an instant.

Huo Shan thought for a while and said:
"There are many factors in this matter. First of all, the most important issue for us is that we want to occupy righteousness.

Although our strength is already invincible, our righteousness cannot be lost.

Although it is right for us to attack Dawan at this moment, that is only what we think. Some countries in the Western Regions obviously don't think so.

So they need to participate, lest someone will instigate it in the future, saying that I am a big man who provoked trouble for no reason.

And if they participated in it, Dawan was attacked by the countries of the Western Regions, or not the countries, but various forces, including the Han and the Huns.

They can't talk about this matter in the future, and they can't say anything unfavorable to my big man, even if they have it, it won't hold water.

Although it is said that everything is possible only when there is strength, and the hard truth is the last word, when my big man declines in the Western Regions in the future, these will not be of much use.

But now, it is still very beneficial for my big man to rule the Western Regions.

In the same way, my big man can't just conquest blindly, we have to let them see my big country's bearing.

In the future, when the two countries have disputes and the big country bullies the small country, their choice is not to suffer from this dumb loss, but to ask me to mediate and uphold justice. Then my big man will have some basis for ruling this land.

To do so, you must first gain the trust of the countries. "

Zhang Anshi was thinking as usual, and Tian Qianqiu was also a little puzzled as usual:

"Governor, why is this?"

Huo Shan smiled lightly, he understood what Tian Qianqiu was asking.

"They wanted me to uphold justice, but at first they might have been unwilling to do so, and had certain hopes for me.

But after my big man turns this hope into reality, if things go on like this, then my big man in this place will be the real kingdom of heaven.

When the Xiongnu ruled this area, it was completely different from the Heavenly Kingdom. The Xiongnu came with destruction and oppression, but I, a big man, came with peace.

When my big man is weak, even if only a few countries support my big man, then my operation is worth it. "

Tian Qianqiu understood a little bit in his heart, just to win people's hearts!

"And in the final analysis, they sent troops here, and it didn't affect us at all.

They will bring the grain and grass they use, and they will also bring some more grain and grass, which will be of great benefit to us.

And after they come, they don't participate in the battle, but quietly watch from the sidelines, which is actually a very good state, and I hope they will be like this. "

Zhang Anshi also had a question at this time:
"Since the governor wanted to gather soldiers and horses from all countries and let them participate, why did you send the soldiers and horses of the countries around the sea back?"

Tian Qianqiu didn't realize this problem yet, he also looked at Huo Shan after hearing it.

And Huo Shan glanced at the little Lizi who was squatting aside, fanned him, and smiled at the same curious little Lizi:
"This involves another issue. I am going to establish the Western Regions Governor's Mansion in the Western Regions, and my duty is to maintain my big man's rule in the Western Regions.

The specific responsibilities include coordinating the various countries, promoting our Han culture, controlling our Han military households and our Han tribes in the Western Regions, etc. There are many responsibilities. "

The two nodded, they did know a little about this, because Huo Shan would say a few words from time to time.

Huo Shan looked at the still puzzled expressions of the two, and continued:

"Then do you know where I plan to put the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions?"

Both of them thought about it, and Zhang Anshi raised his head without taking five breaths:

"Could it be Kucha?"

Huo Shan smiled and nodded, it happened to be Kucha, Zhang Anshi suddenly realized.

Huo Shan didn't give too much away, looked at Tian Qianqiu and said:
"Kuci is located in the hinterland of the Western Regions, and there will be no threat from the Huns in the future, so it is more suitable than Dongqiemi for the establishment of the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions.

Even if there is a threat from the Huns in the east, this place is actually more suitable.

Kucha is a place facing the powerful countries in the Western Regions. You must know that the powerful countries in the Western Regions are basically located in the west of Kucha.

And the offshore location is on the east side of Kucha, do you understand what this arrangement means? "

Tian Qianqiu still shook his head blankly, Zhang Anshi next to him saw him shaking his head, shook his head too, and then explained:
"The countries around the sea are located on the east side of Qiuci, and after Qiuci establishes the governor of the Western Regions in this place, the first thing they will face is the countries in the west.

And this requires the stability of the offshore countries. Although they are just a piece of cake compared with the countries in the west, it is very dangerous to be attacked by enemies. "

Huo Shan then added:
"So, I'm not going to bring the coalition forces of the offshore countries. Zhang Anshi explained to him why not bringing the coalition forces of the offshore countries can make the coastal waters stable."

Zhang Anshi chuckled, and cupped his hands at Huo Shangong:
"The minister made a wild guess."

Huo Shan nodded, let's see your performance!

"According to my guess, the governor should have some arrangements in the future, right?"

Huo Shan nodded with a smile.

Zhang Anshi touched his chin and thought for a while, then said to Tian Qianqiu:
"Let me tell you a story!"

Tian Qianqiu was a little puzzled, why did he tell a story again, but Xiao Lizi cheered up, he likes listening to stories the most.

"In the vicinity of Chang'an, there is a rich family. The rich family wanted to expand their business, so they recruited two shopkeepers, one named Zhang San and the other named Li Si. Zhang San was recruited first, and then Li Si was recruited. There was no difference of a few days. .

Zhang San has little ability and reputation, but Li Si has a great reputation, great ability, and he is very ambitious.

One day, the rich man was going out to discuss business. After thinking about it, he decided to take Li Si with him.

In the end, the business was of course successfully negotiated. During this period, Li Si also saw the ability and strength of the wealthy family, and became much more stable and well-behaved.

But Li Si felt that he had contributed a lot to this matter, and of course, it was only him who felt so.

But after he came back, Li Si found that this rich man valued Zhang San much more than him, which made him very unwilling.

He thinks it shouldn't be like this, he is not as capable as me, and his strength is not as good as mine, and we came together, and I have made great contributions, why is the rich man treating Li Si so well?How unfair!

So Li Si became hostile to Zhang San.

From Zhang San's point of view, he also paid a lot to rich households, and he was the first to come when the rich households lacked manpower.

And when he came, he also brought a lot of contacts and so on, which was of great help to the rich.

And I got so much, and I deserve it, so why are you hostile to me?

However, when he thought this way, he was also very scared, because Li Si was much stronger than him.

So, he thought of a way to hug the rich man's thigh tightly. With the favor of the rich man, what is Li Si?
In order to gain more strength, Li Si will follow after seeing Zhang San do certain things and get rewards from wealthy households, even doing better than Zhang San.

And what did the rich get?
He got the development of his family business and the stability of his subordinates.

Speaking of this moment, you should understand that the rich man is..."

Before Zhang Anshi finished speaking, Tian Qianqiu interrupted him:
"The wealthy family is the big man, Zhang San is the countries near the sea, and Li Si is the countries in the west."

"Clap clap clap!"

Huo Shan applauded, then looked at the two with a smile and said:

"Haha, this story is good, and it tells a lot of truths, and my arrangement is similar to this.

The purpose of not arranging to go near the sea is to make the western countries hostile to them when I, a big man, then support the near sea.

But the countries in the west are hostile, and the sea will be closer to the big man, because without the help of the big man, their life will be very difficult, and even the country will be destroyed.

Of course, there are also many other arrangements. For example, let’s talk about a small way. When the offshore countries are dancing too much, let them experience what kind of difficulty it is! "

After finishing speaking, Huo Shan looked at Zhang Anshi again, and said with some regret:
"Your story is really good, you should really let the prince cousin hear it.

This set of methods can be used not only in this place, but also in other places, such as the court.

This is a typical set of techniques of employing people, which is commonly known as the technique of the emperor. "

Zhang Anshi looked a little embarrassed. In this era, although the art of the emperor is not so taboo, he still carries the word emperor.

It is said to be the art of the emperor, which is very high, but in fact it is a way of employing people.

The situation, checks and balances, etc., all have talents.

Huo Shan changed the subject, pointed to the table and asked:

"Have you run out?"

"It's over."

"Then withdraw!"

After Xiao Lizi removed the dining table, Tian Qianqiu handed over another letter.

"Governor, this one is from Qiuci."

Huo Shan raised his eyebrows:
"Just here?"

"Come this morning."

Huo Shan nodded, then sneered:
"Gucha Kingdom, it seems that we have had a good discussion."

The other two looked at each other. Kucha was much closer than other places, and the news only came, which obviously made Huo Shan a little dissatisfied.

Of course, what he was dissatisfied with was not the messenger, but the country of Kucha.

Huo Shan's mind is actually not big, but many things can't get into his eyes.

Qiuci Huoshan was originally planning to look at their attitude and situation and pretend to be a horse.

If you have a good attitude, let it go, if you have a bad attitude, clean it up.

From Huo Shan's point of view, the situation is actually irrelevant. How bad could the situation be at the beginning?

But this does not mean that Huo Shan has forgotten about this matter, even if Qiuci is let go, Huo Shan's plan is to deal with him in the future.

But the Huns surrendered, and the strength of their soldiers and horses increased greatly, so there is no need to clean up them in the future.

It's better to directly occupy the territory of the Metropolitan Government of the Western Regions.

This was also his decision after he learned that the Huns had surrendered. Although he had planned to establish the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions a long time ago, he had no specific plans, such as where to establish it.

After all, it wasn't the time to think about this at that time, the place was not laid down, and it was a bit too far to think about it.

After reading the letter, Huo Shan sneered:
"Preparing to sign an agreement, it's a beautiful idea to be my big man's vassal state."

Zhang Anshi and the two were also a little speechless, Qiuci really couldn't see the situation clearly!

The big Han soldiers and horses are more than the population of your two Kuchas. Do you want to be a nominal vassal state like the Xiongnu?
I guess I don't even want to pay for the offering, it's really beautiful!
Huo Shan threw the letter aside, since he was already preparing to destroy Kucha, there was no need to delve into it too much!

Tian Qianqiu handed over a few more copies:
"Great Governor, these are from Gumo, Wusun, and Shule, Xiuxun and other countries in the west."

Huo Shan turned over and looked at it and said:

"Gumo, I would like to stand up to the orders of the big man, very straightforward, Wusun, I would like to support the actions of the allies, heh, there is a sense of pettiness in the words, not like a big country.

The rest of the countries are sloppy, the small countries are willing to be affiliated, the big countries say they will sign an alliance with the big Han, and advance and retreat together. The envoy said that the attitude is very good and predictable. "

Huo Shan raised his head and looked at Tian Qianqiu:

"any left?"

"Back to the governor, it's gone, Dawan still hasn't responded, Kangju, Da Yuezhi, Daxia and other extreme western countries like Dawan are too far away, and the news hasn't come yet."

Huo Shan nodded, these places are indeed too far away, the news has not come to normal, just wait a few days, they should reply when they hear the news of the surrender of the Huns.

At the beginning of the war, they also responded, but their attitude was neutral.

As for Dawan, Huo Shan never expected it, this time he came here for him.
