Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 951 Planning for Rest 1
Time passed quickly, and two years passed in a blink of an eye. Gongsun Xu returned to the court as early as two years ago. He left General Zhao Yun to command the affairs of the Western Regions. Generals such as Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan were left to garrison in the Western Regions. In the past two years, it has also increased to 7 people. In addition, there are [-] Han soldiers stationed in the Western Regions.

In the past two years, Gongsun Xu has made every effort to develop the economy. Due to the re-opening of the Silk Road, the East and the West have been connected again. Merchants from the Central Plains have traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions to do business. Take the caravan to the Central Plains.

In the past two years, Zhao Yun guarded Xiliang, and his soldiers got along well with various tribes in the Western Regions. Although there were a few tribes that robbed merchants and brought a little trouble to the stability of the Western Regions, under Zhao Yun's iron-blooded wrist , these tribes were quickly wiped out, and behind this series of events, there is more or less the shadow of the Parthian Kingdom.

A year ago, the Anxi Kingdom wanted to borrow troops from Guishuang to attack the Western Regions, but due to Guishuang's own reasons and the fact that the two parties did not reach an agreement, the matter of borrowing troops was shelved.And as the Han army became stronger and stronger in the Western Regions, and after the opening of trade, the tribes in the Western Regions had a greater sense of belonging to the Han Army than before. The case of robbing a caravan.

The current Western Regions can be described as prosperous. Although it has only been in business for two years, the grain, porcelain, tea and other materials brought from the Central Plains have greatly enriched the lives of the people in the Western Regions. In particular, Gongsun Xu formulated a series of laws , which stipulates the rationality and fairness of buying and selling, many people in the Western Regions will not suffer too much even if they don't know how to do business.

Groups of business brigades are marching towards Silk City. This city was built by the Han army and the people of various tribes in the Western Regions. Gongsun Xu personally designed it, and together with the army's surveying and mapping and civil engineering talents, this historic city appeared. Western Regions.

In the barracks in the city, the generals were training soldiers, and a small war broke out recently. The generals of all ministries hoped that they could be sent out to perform military duties.

In the big tent, Zhao Yun handed a piece of information to Cao Ren and said: "You all have a look, the Anxi Kingdom is too uneasy. This year, the Anxi Kingdom has been busy recruiting troops. On the surface, it seems that they want to To make up for the 30 elites lost in the previous battle, but in fact, they still have no hope of giving up on the Western Regions, they want to continue to attack."

After reading the information, Cao Ren handed it over to Xia Houyuan and others, and then asked for orders: "Commander, the last general asked to lead his army to fight in Anxi, these idiots are too ignorant, we haven't touched them for the past two years, they thought I was The army is easy to bully. The rebellion of those tribes in the past few times must have been written by the Anxi Kingdom. They robbed merchants in the Western Regions. This matter has a great impact. Although all tribes have promised to restrain their subordinates, who can guarantee? They will not betray us for profit.

In the current situation, only by beating them to the ground, they will be honest. Anxi country has not many elites, and the legendary Anxi returning horse arrows can hardly cause damage to our army. In the end, only [-] coalition troops are needed. We can defeat the [-] troops of Parthia on the border, Commander, we must take a tough stance, otherwise, some tribal leaders in the Western Regions may have to change their minds again. "

"Marshal, the last general invites you to fight,,,,,,"

"The last general invites the battle,,,,,,"

Xia Houyuan and others also asked for orders one after another. They were most eager to fight, because among the whole army, they needed military exploits the most. The status must be lower, and more importantly, they themselves do not have enough military exploits, so the best rewards will definitely not fall on their heads.

"Gongsun Yuan, what do you think?" Zhao Yun looked at his general Gong Gongsun Yuan and asked, "The Anxi Kingdom is becoming more and more rampant now. It seems that the lesson back then was not tragic enough."

"Comparatively speaking, what we need is to develop the economy. This is the task that the lord told us to wait before he left." Gongsun Yuan squinted his eyes and replied: "The lord said that as long as our economic strength is strong enough, Anxi's defeat will be a big deal." Not far away, we are now fighting an economic war with them. Obviously, so far, we have always had the upper hand. Otherwise, the Parthian country would not engage in these small tricks. All in all, Parthian cannot sit still now.

However, if we really want to go to war, although our army is not afraid of peace, we still have to bear a lot of risks. It is not easy for us to build the Western Regions into what it is now. Once the war starts, the business of the Western Regions will definitely be affected. It may be difficult for merchants from the west to come to trade, which is contrary to the original plan of the lord. "

"But are we just waiting?" Xiahou Dun asked, "I would say that economic development is necessary. His Royal Highness King Zhao's plans and original intentions are correct, but Anxi Kingdom is too noisy. Merchants going north feel fear, and this will also affect business in the Western Regions."

"That's right, so, we should do something." Gongsun Yuan said with a smile: "But it doesn't necessarily mean launching a large-scale war. If General Cao Ren really led an army of [-] to defeat the [-] army that rested on the border, The war will directly escalate to a war between the two countries, which is inappropriate.

We can use local wars to beat Parthia. At the same time, the conflicts among the various tribes in the Western Regions should also be resolved. The best way is to shift the focus of conflicts. If they want to plunder the property of the tribes in the Western Regions, they are jealous of the wealth of the Western Regions. In this way, all the tribes in the Western Regions must share the same hatred, which just happens to stop the Anxi Kingdom from planning to rebel against certain tribes. "

"The impact of local wars is not big enough, so I'm afraid it's hard to deter Parthia." Xia Houyuan frowned and asked: "The countries formed by the nomads have always been warlike, and they won't bow their heads until they hurt them. You can't let Anxi suffer from heartache."

"Partial wars are just one of them." Gongsun Yuan looked at the crowd and said, "We still have diplomatic channels. Apart from sending missions to question Anxi abroad, we can also send missions to Guishuang, and Guishuang and Anxi are not necessarily the same. He is a good ally. Moreover, in the past two years, we have also had close contacts with Guishuang. After the trade, Guishuang is also a beneficiary. What will happen?"

"Nice, let's do it like this." Cao Ren said with a smile: "Isolate Anxi, so that Anxi can be so presumptuous. If we can provoke conflicts between Anxi and Guishuang, the Western Regions will always be peaceful. "

"Military teacher, what do you think?" Zhao Yun looked at the taciturn Li Ru and asked, "Is this plan feasible?"

"It's feasible, but it needs to be carefully planned." Li Ru nodded expressionlessly and said, "General Cao Ren can still send troops, but you have to be careful, you can hurt them, but you can't make them angry..."
