Returning to the Chief Secretary’s Mansion, Sima Yi smiled and said, “I am afraid that the Lord of Kucha is very disappointed if he failed to marry His Majesty!”

Chen Chu smiled indifferently, remembered the serious matter and asked, "What's the situation in the west at the moment?"

Sima Yi replied: "At present, the main force of the Kushan Army is attacking the defense line of Kangju in Raven Mountain. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but the Kangju army should be able to last for ten days and half a month! What is most worrying now are two aspects: one is the elite Kushan Army passing through the Modi Grassland, and the other is Wusun!"

Chen Chu frowned and sat down in the main seat, "Has Sima Lang made no progress?" He said a little unhappy.

Sima Yi hurriedly said, "My brother has done his best, but it seems that Wusun is not very interested in the conditions we have put forward!"

Chen Chu thought for a moment and said decisively: "We must make the worst plan! By the way, has Wen Chang not come back yet?" Sima Yi shook his head.

Chen Chu said calmly: "I knew I had arrived today, but he ran to the military camp more than ten miles away. He was really meant!" Sima Yi didn't understand what Chen Chu meant and did not dare to answer the conversation.

Chen Chu said to Sima Yi: "Military situation is urgent, and I will immediately lead the army westward into the Pamir Mountains. You are fully responsible for everything here." "Yes." Sima Yi held his fists and agreed.

Chen Chu took a small and exquisite mahogany box from Dian Wei, took a look, and said to Sima Yi: "This is the seal of the Great Governor of the Western Regions! You have taken it away!" The Great Governor is an official position that is not in normal official rank. He has great power, controls the civil affairs and military areas under his jurisdiction, and has the power to make decisions on both civil affairs and military aspects. Therefore, anyone who is recognized as the Great Governor must be the most trusted minister or general of Chen Chu! However, the Great Governor has great restrictions on military power. First of all, although the Great Governor has the power to mobilize the local garrison, it does not.

The power to appoint and remove military officers, in other words, the army still maintains considerable independence; secondly, the Grand Governor cannot mobilize all the troops in his jurisdiction. The only troops he can mobilize is the local army and the army formulated by the emperor's decree. For example, the Grand Governor of Sima Yi can only mobilize the army of the Sixth Corps and the Western Regions coalition. He has no right to mobilize other troops. If he encounters problems that the army within his power cannot solve, he will have to negotiate with Zhao Yun, the chief military officer of the Western Regions. Although Zhao Yun's responsibilities overlap with the Grand Governor, he can effectively check and balance the power of the Grand Governor.

Sima Yi couldn't help but be surprised and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, I am still very experienced, how dare I accept such an important task?"

Chen Chu said seriously: "In my Daqin, only regarding talent, regardless of qualifications! If you are not qualified for this task, I will take back this seal in public without hesitation!"

Sima Yi knelt in front of Chen Chu, took the seal of the governor from Chen Chu, and said excitedly: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness! I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust! I will be heartbroken, and I will die after death!"

Chen Chu smiled and helped Sima Yi up, patted his arm, and encouraged him: "I believe Zhongda will definitely be able to control the Western Regions even more in a more secure way!"

When Sima Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited again.

Sima Yi remembered something and said with a fist: "Your Majesty, although the countries in the Western Regions have promised so much, I am afraid that only logistics can be fulfilled immediately!"

Chen Chu nodded and sneered: "Although they are very respectful to us, they are also frightened by the power of Kushan and the pressure of Wusun! Until the situation is clear, they will not hand over the power at the bottom of the box to us!"

"Let me catch them and ask them clearly!" Dian Wei suddenly said angrily, his eyes blew on fire, as if he was about to kill someone.

Chen Chu smiled and said, "Don't be angry when you come! It's normal for them to have such a plan!"

Chen Chu reminded Sima Yi: "We must ensure the supply of logistics supplies! In addition, we must pay close attention to the movements of Wusun!"

Sima Yi clasped his fists very seriously and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty!"

Chen Chu nodded and immediately left the Chief's Mansion.

Chen Chu was supported by nearly a thousand iron wall guards led by Dian Wei and walked outside the city. The people of Kucha squeezed to both sides of the street, with envious expressions in their eyes; the Han people in Kucha seemed very excited, and some people even bowed to Chen Chu in public!

"Second Miss, look, that's Your Majesty the Emperor!" Ni Li was extremely excited and held high on the war horse in the distance. Chen Chu, who was wearing black iron armor and was quite imposing, shouted loudly. Beside her was Qin Yue, the second in charge of Fengqi Jewelry Pavilion. Qin Yue seemed a little excited and anxious. There were more than a dozen guards of Fengqi Jewelry Pavilion beside her. These dozen people looked very difficult to resist the surging crowds.

"There is too far away here, let's go a little in front!" Qin Yue frowned anxiously. More than a dozen guards immediately opened the way.

After spending all his might, Qin Yue and Ni Li finally squeezed to the street with the guards' courageous efforts, but only saw a distant back. Qin Yue couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed. At this time, a guard bumped into an iron wall guard by the side of the road.

The Iron Wall Guard kicked out with a reflex and kicked the guard into the crowd. Seeing this, the other guards were shocked and couldn't help but surged up together. However, in a blink of an eye, they were overturned to the ground by the three Iron Wall Guards in front of them. One of the Iron Wall Guards said coldly: "If you are not Han people, you would have died just now!" More than a dozen guards were captured by the murderous aura of the Iron Wall Guards, and each looked pale and did not dare to speak. At this time, Qin Yue hurried forward and said, "Sorry! We just want to see the holy appearance of Your Majesty!" The Iron Wall Guard's expression was a little calmer, "Don't be so reckless in the future!" He couldn't help but look at Qin Yue a few more times and turned back to the team.

Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and scolded the reckless guards: "Why are you so ignorant?" The guards were timid. Qin Yue looked in the direction where Chen Chu left, and his beautiful eyes showed disappointment; while Ni Li was watching Qin Yue's expression.

About an hour later, the army continued to set off, and with the army, they also went to the Pamir Fortress with 300,000 dan of grain and tens of thousands of migrant workers in Kucha.

Pamir Fortress.

Zhao Yun stared at the sand table in front of him, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he seemed a little anxious. The army led by Chen Chu would arrive soon, but he was still trapped in the Pamir Fortress.

The captain of the scout team hurried to the fortress.

As soon as Zhao Yun saw him, he asked anxiously: "How is the situation?"

The captain shook his head and said, "No road was found to penetrate the Rainbow Canyon! No one in the locals knew there was such a road!"

Zhao Yun frowned, "If this is the case, even if His Majesty's army arrives, he can only attack with force! Although he will definitely win, he will definitely pay a considerable price!"

Zhao Yun paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back. Zhao Tuo and others would stare at Zhao Yun, regardless of the noise.

Zhao Yun suddenly stopped in front of the sand table, his eyes pressed against the terrain of the Rainbow Canyon on the sand table. Zhao Yun pointed to the Rainbow Canyon and said, "The terrain of the Rainbow Canyon is of course easy to defend but difficult to attack, but what if the enemy forces take the initiative to attack?"

Zhao Tuo asked in confusion: "But how to make the enemy attack actively?"

Zhao Yun sneered: "Kulshan has won every battle in recent years, and has never suffered the losses of our army. Therefore, he must have contempt for our army! Let's do this~~"

The next morning, Zhao Yun led 50,000 elite troops from the First Legion to leave the Pamir Fortress. Among the 50,000 elite troops, three thousand Modao Army, who had never shown power in the Western Regions.
