Jia Xu, who was self-righteous, finished what he wanted to say in one breath. He stopped and took a breath, but suddenly found that the three people in the room were looking at him with a strange look, and he couldn't help but feel a stern in his heart.

He quickly touched his already aged face, and carefully checked his clothes and head crown. But he felt that there was nothing unusual on his body.

Then he asked Sun Ce suspiciously: "Lord, is there anything wrong with what my subordinates are concerned about?"

For some time, Jia Xu also knew about the personalities of Sun Ce and others. Jia Xu was not worried that his outspoken advice would anger. Jia Xu, who had always been hidden very deeply, also fell in love with the pleasure of saying things directly.

But the other three suddenly burst into laughter, leaving only Jia Xu, a person who was laughing and crying, looked at the three guys who couldn't stop laughing. He secretly cursed these three people, it would be better to be too happy and laughed out loud.

After a while, Li Ru, the old man, was the first to laugh: "Wenhe, you are the one who came later, I'm afraid you don't know. When Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao joined Shu County, he not only brought a lot of jewelry and jade, but also married his sister to his lord's second brother.

But he also brought a very important good thing!"

At this time, Li Ru said so clearly, and the clever Jia Xu immediately reacted: "The imperial seal? There is really a imperial seal in Yuan Shu's hand? Oh my God! Isn't this a rumor? This is God's help to the lord! Lord, it seems that you are the one who destiny belongs to!"

Sun Ce hurriedly waved his hand: "Mr. Wenhe, these words have too much impact. You can't say anything nonsense right now!"

Looking at Sun Ce saying, smiling indifferently, Jia Xu said, "It's the lord, my subordinates obey the order. When the Taiwei Mansion comes out, I will definitely forget this matter!

However, the subordinates still thought that moving the capital to Shu County would be farther alone than Chang'an to Luoyang. Moreover, the road was difficult to move, and it was difficult to deploy the army. Once this city was abandoned, it would be extremely unfavorable for the lord to compete for the Central Plains in the future.

Not to mention going to Moling, a farther south of Jiangnan, you should know that it is easy to give up a strong city. It will be too difficult to fight back in the future. Although the legend of Moling is said to have the aura of the emperor, Luoyang is even more entrenched and entrusted, and it is a natural place to build a capital. It should not be abandoned lightly!"

Having said that, Sun Ce and others couldn't laugh anymore. Zhou Yu stepped forward and explained: "Mr. Wenhe! In fact, our navy has already been prepared. We use our existing naval ships to transport troops. We can reach from Wujun to Luoyang in at most half a month.

The catapults and crossbows on the ship are not something that ordinary soldiers can resist. Even the cavalry with the best armor in our army can't stop the attack of these weapons!"

Jia Xu, who had already seen the strong cavalry of the Jiangnan Army, was a little surprised: "Oh, is there such a powerful tool? But isn't the catapult mainly used for siege and water battles? The attack on infantry and knights with flexible actions will probably not be effective!

I have seen the catapult, too! I said that after a huge rock was thrown out, the flexibility of the cavalry could already escape far away. No matter how strong the catapult's attack power was, what's the use of the catapult that could not hit people?"

Regarding this almost stubborn strategist, Zhou Yu could only continue to explain patiently: "Mr. Wenhe doesn't know that Mr. Ma Jun and Liu Ziyang have recently made some improvements to the trench. Nowadays, the trenchers on sea ships can not only shoot single large stones for siege.

It can even throw dozens of stones as big as a bowl at the same time, which can cause comprehensive damage to the enemy troops to attack. Therefore, using a catapult, whether it is siege or field battle, is not difficult for our army."

"Oh! This is a weapon of war! But the lord, my subordinates think that our army should not give up Luoyang, whether for immediate interests or in the long run!"

The last sentence turned to Sun Ce again. It turned out that Zhou Yu explained for a long time and did not work for Jia Xu at all. Seeing that Jia Xu insisted on his own opinion, Sun Ce certainly believed in Jia Xu's accurate vision.

Of course, it is not to say that I don’t believe in Zhou Yu. At the beginning, Sun Ce and others did not think about giving up Luoyang. Now they just pay more attention to it.

After thinking carefully, Sun Ce finally said, "Mr. Wenhe, don't worry, what you said is reasonable, but now the reconstruction of Luoyang is not a matter of one day or one night. We can't live in such a dilapidated house all year round.

I thought it would be better to let the army withdraw from Luoyang and station in Wancheng. We should take advantage of the fact that other forces are unable to pay attention to us, recruit craftsmen from all over the world at a high price and rebuild Luoyang with all their might.

As for Luoyang's defense, it is arranged by Gongjin! As long as the navy is arranged on the river, and the order for Ziyi and Shuzhi to lead the elite troops to guard the Hulao Pass. In this way, the two guys in the north will not be able to get involved in Luoyang again.

It will take a year or two to rebuild Luoyang. At that time, the army that went to Jiaozhou had returned. Let's mobilize the army back to eliminate all dissatisfaction. Haha!"

After hearing that the lord finally agreed to his opinion, Jia Xu finally relaxed. Although it would cost a lot of money to rebuild Luoyang, by comparison, giving up Luoyang would be equivalent to making the Jiangnan Army give up the Central Plains.

Then the losses to the Jiangnan Army will be too great in the future, so Jia Xu will risk the possibility of angering Sun Ce and make every effort to advise and block.

Sun Ce nodded with Jia Xu's insistence: "Military advisor, Mr. Wenhe, the matter of moving the capital is agreed upon! Our army is only guarding all directions, but will never give up Luoyang. If you go to Liangzhou, in addition to being the northwest barrier of the capital.

This governor has another important matter. Please ask you. Military advisors, please discuss with Uncle Wu Yong and issue a convening order to the whole world. Summon Han and Hu merchants from all over the world to reopen the Silk Road built by Ban Chao.

It is still very cost-effective to use our silk, silk and satin specialties to exchange jewelry, gold and silver from the Great Qin Kingdom!”

Li Ru and the other two in the room were very surprised by the lord's decision.

Li Ru asked in surprise: "Silk Road? Oh, does the lord refer to the trade route created by Ban Dingyuan and the Great Qin Kingdom that was in the west? Well! My Han merchants mainly trade silk on this road, and they call it the Silk Road, which is really an extremely vivid image.

The lord is really a talented man. He knows everything about this great man. Even the Western Wasteland Business Road can know clearly! I admire you! I admire you!"

He looked admiring his subordinates, and Sun Ce's face turned slightly red: "What's going on? Has the name of the Silk Road in this era not started to be called? This is really strange! He thought that the Silk Road was passed down during the Han Dynasty!"

Only Jia Xu, who knew the situation in the Western Regions, still frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "But lord, as far as my subordinates know, the Huns were looking down on our Han vassal states in various parts of the Western Regions. And they often sent troops to harass them, and this trade route has been blocked for a long time.

Now the journey is not peaceful, and my subordinates are afraid that those businessmen who value profit and neglect righteousness may not dare to go!

If the lord really wants to reopen the Silk Road, oh! The Silk Road! It is better to wipe out the Wusun first, the rebellion of the Huns! However, after the decline of the Han Dynasty, some Western countries no longer obeyed our country's rule.

The Han Dynasty was even more unlikely to send troops to the Western Regions, even the Western Region Chief Mansion that was established back then is now in name but not real."

Sun Ce said in surprise: "Is there no one to manage the Western Regions Chiefs' Mansion now? Yes, the Sili Captains in Luoyang have been abandoned, let alone the Western Regions Chiefs' Mansion in the desert! It is normal to abandon it!"

"Cough cough!" Sun Ce's words caused Jia Xu to cough violently. Even Li Ru, who had not spoken, looked at the lord who had always known everything with a strange look.

Jia Xu finally stopped coughing and took a quick breath and said, "The lord has also misunderstandings! The Western Region Chief Mansion is now located in Shanshan Country, oh! This Shanshan Country was called Loulan Country a few years ago.

It connects Hanni to the southwest, Qiemo, Xiaowan, Jingjue, Khotan and other countries, opened to the north of the tide, Yanqi, Kucha and other countries, and Bailongdui to the east, and Dunhuang County, Liangzhou. It is one of the larger oasis among the countries in the Western Regions.

The Loulan is located in a rush, with only more than 10,000 people in its country, so its military strength is insufficient. Between our Han and the Huns, we have always been a country that pleases villains on both sides. According to past habits, it usually tends to be a more favorable person to the Huns.

However, although its country is small, it is rich in various grains and grains. When my subordinates were young, they also visited Loulan City. The scenery there is beautiful and the fertile land is vast. They are about ten miles east of the city and there is a boundless lake.

The locals call Loulanhai, and some people call it "现工". Among them, the lake is clear and scattered, and it remains unabated in winter and summer. The lake is rich in fish and shrimps and abundant aquatic products. There are quite a few locals who make a living by it. According to the subordinates, it is not much smaller than Hongze.

As for the desert land that the lord mentioned, my subordinates had visited it once under the guidance of local natives. The yellow sand scenery was magnificent, but it was a little far from Loulan City. At that time, my subordinates walked for five days and five nights, which was 200 to 300 miles away."

This time, Sun Ce was really stunned: "Did the Loulan Kingdom still exist at the end of the Han Dynasty? According to reports excavated in later generations, isn't it said that the mummy of Queen Loulan was an ancient human being more than 3,800 years ago? It should be nearly two thousand years earlier than the Han Dynasty.

Dizzy! Did I remember it wrongly or Jia Xu? Could it be that Loulan was not the Loulan Kingdom mentioned by later generations? Jia Xu should not be wrong, and Loulan should still be there, maybe I remember it wrongly!

There is actually Jingjue Kingdom, which are famous archaeological miracles in later generations! It seems that the desert area of ​​the Tarim Basin today should only occupy a very small area.

If we start to teach the local people to green and manage soil and water well at this time, will it have a good preventive effect on desertification in future generations?

Well! We have to try it. Let future generations have a Xinjiang with green state everywhere, which is better than most desertified no-man's land. As for the Loulan Sea, it should be Lop Nur.

If you have the chance, you must go there to see the archaeological experts and professors. If you hear that you can see the Living Loulan and the Queen of Jingjue in reality, I wonder if you will be envious of it until you die! Haha!"
