Chapter 238: Sending troops to the Western Regions
Chapter 238: Sending troops to the Western Regions
After hearing Huangfu Jian's words, Zhang Zhao's eyes were a little dull. He moved to the Han Palace to work, and even called it waste utilization. Only such a lord dared to do this, and others would probably not dare to think about it.
Where is the place where Emperor Gaozu of Han lived? What does it mean if he worked in the palace?
"You can calculate it as soon as possible and consider the use of labor. Never delay farming. What we lack the most now is food." Huangfu Jian looked at Zhang Zhao who was a little stunned and said as if nothing had happened.
"No!" The two of them respectfully accepted the order and rushed to count.
The reconstruction of Chang'an City and the expansion will be doubled. This is not a small project. Not only in the Zhenxi Army, but also in the entire Han Dynasty, it is probably not a few times. Qin Shihuang built an Afang Palace, which was criticized by the people of the world, causing people to complain, and as a result, thousands of miles of country were lost. Huangfu Jian did not dare to be careless, and he had to make a decision before he could act!
Shortly after Zhang Zhao and Ma Jun left, Long Yi brought in five men from Kucha.
As soon as the five people entered Huangfu Jian's study, they knelt down on the ground with a "bang" sound, lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and kept talking nonstop. After listening for a long time, Huangfu Jian couldn't hear a few words, so they had to invite people to help them solve their worries.
After a while, Jieyou walked in slowly and talked with the men of Kuz in words that Huangfu Jian could not understand. Then he said to Huangfu Jian: "They are the envoys sent by the King of Kuz to rescue the Han Dynasty. Because they were somehow brought here by Long Yi, they were frightened! When I told him that you were a Han general who could save them. When they told me that Wusun sent troops to invade Kuz, they were about to attack their capital Yancheng. Please ask the general to save them. Kuz Kingdom is willing to be a vassal state of the general."
After hearing this, Huangfu Jian snorted coldly, thinking that the vassal states were not needed. Whether it was Kucha or Wusun, they would become my territory. All countries and countries did not exist. Of course, they still need to save them. He must set up a stable rear in the battle for hegemony of the princes a few years later.
"Ask them again, how many troops are there in Kucha, and how many troops have Wusun dispatched?" Huangfu Jian said lightly.
"¥#……" Jieyou talked to five Kucha people again.
"Theirs said that there are still 20,000 troops in Kucha and 50,000 troops in Wusun." Jieyou replied after asking the five people.
"Ask them how long can they last for Kucha?" Huangfu Jian asked again.
Jieyou acted as the translator between the two again.
After a while, Jieyou replied: "They don't know either. They have been out for half a month. They have just arrived in Chang'an and now they don't know the news about Kucha. I ask the general to save them as soon as possible."
At this time, a man with the appearance of a leader took out something like a skin from his arms, and something was written in dark red blood, and handed it to Jieyou.
After reading it, Jieyou handed it to Huangfu Jian and said, "This is the letter of nationality in Kucha, the blood letter for help written by the King of Kucha to the Han Dynasty. It is also a kind of blood oath, and he vows to always be loyal to the Han Dynasty. In our place, no one would write such a blood promise not to be in a critical moment."
"You ask them, you may provide our army's food and grass. Kucha is seven or eight thousand miles away from Chang'an City. If there is no food and grass supply supply line, a thousands of miles will bring us many difficulties. The Zhenxi Army cannot afford to consume it now, so there is no way to fight this battle." Huangfu Jian took the blood letter from the King of Kucha, thought for a while, and said.
Before the army and horses move, food will come first. A distance of seven or eight thousand miles requires more than ten times to ensure the supply and transportation of food and grass. If 5,000 people go to war, 50,000 people will transport food and grass from behind. How can I fight this battle?
Jieyou asked Huangfu Jian again, and a sense of pride appeared on the bronze faces of the five Kucha people, and their hands pounded their chests, making a "bang, bang..." sound, and then they said something loudly.
Jieyou didn't know if he was amused by their expressions or something. His jade-like face bloomed and the room was shining brightly. The room seemed to shine in bright sunshine, making people feel indescribable.
"They said that Kucha is the richest place, similar to this place, with a lot of food, no problem." Jieyou held it in for a while before he said slowly.
"Long Yi takes them to rest. I will look for him if you need it." Huangfu Jian had a general understanding of the situation, waved his hand to Long Yi and took the five people down.
The Western Regions not only control the Silk Road, but also the best horses in the world, and are also a natural green state that produces a lot of food. Taking over the Western Regions will be more conducive to the control of the Western Army over the West. The benefits are self-evident.
"Do you want to go to Wusun to see?" After everyone stepped down, Huangfu Jian hugged Jieyou in his arms, stroked her silky hair, sniffed her seductive body fragrance, and asked softly.
"Young Master, are you serious, are you taking Jieyou?" I wonder if the surprise came too suddenly or the longing in my heart, Jieyou couldn't help but scream.
"The young master not only takes you there, but will also bring your enemy to you and cut him into pieces. If he dares to deal with my Jieyou, I will let him die without a place to bury him." Huangfu Jian's eyes were softer, but there was a murderous intent in his words. Jieyou was his forbidden body, and he was even more his favorite. The consequences of offending her can be imagined.
"Thank you, Master, you are so nice!" Jieyou was very happy, and tears were rolling in her beautiful eyes. Since she was ten years old, she has been dreaming like this. Every time she woke up, it was a scene of her parents' tragic death. She has been sixteen years, and she has never forgotten it.
Huangfu Jian patted Jieyou's jade back lightly, as if he was coaxing the injured child.
For a moment, there was tranquility in Huangfu Jian's study, and Princess Jieyou silently enjoyed this rare tenderness.
Immediately, Huangfu Jian ordered people to invite two great military advisors, Jia Xu and Yan Zhong.
"Meet the lord!" Not long after, Jia Xu and Yan Zhong came to Huangfu Jian's study and saluted Huangfu Jian.
"No gifts, please sit down!" Huangfu Jian signaled.
"What happened to the lord?" Jia Xu and Yan Zhong asked.
Huangfu Jian handed over the blood letter of the King of Kucha in his hand, and briefly explained what happened in the Western Regions.
"What are the plans of the lord?" the two asked in unison.
"Western Regions cannot be abandoned. It not only controls the Silk Road, but also produces good horses and grain. For our Zhenxi Army, taking over the Western Regions is equivalent to an additional state. Therefore, this general decided to send troops not to help anyone, but to completely control the Western Regions, turn it into a state of Zhenxi Army, and destroy Wusun." Huangfu Jian said slowly and firmly.
"Does the lord send a general or plan to fight in person?" Jia Xu and Yan Zhong saw that Huangfu Jian had made up his mind, so he had to prepare and fight with all his might.
"I will go by myself and ride a horse in the desert. I have longed for it."
Huangfu Jian was passionate and looked into the distance, and said leisurely.
"Which lord plans to bring how many troops?" Although Jia Xu and Yan Zhong and the other two were unwilling to Huangfu Jian to make an expedition in person, they saw that Huangfu Jian was firm and knew that it was useless to persuade him, so they did not persuade him, just hoped that he could bring more troops.
"Ten thousand iron cavalry is also the best!" Huangfu Jian said lightly without hesitation.
"The Western Regions have a vast geographical location and many small countries. If you want to sweep the entire Western Regions, there are too few ten thousand cavalry? Please think twice!" Jia Xu and Yan Zhong said with great concern.
"Haha, the two lords are too worried. My 10,000 cavalry is just an advance army. Then you will form a military military force of 60,000 people and select a group of capable officials and officials. As long as these military military force are homeless and unworried young and strong, I plan to station them all in the Western Regions, let them get married, have wives and have children, and become a powerful force for us to control the Western Regions. The military officials will rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate, implement absolute rule over the Western Regions, and officially incorporate the Western Regions into the territory of the Zhenxi Army." Huangfu Jian looked at the two military advisors with heavy expressions, and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He smiled slightly and said.
"Lord, my imagination is so wonderful. If this is the case, I can really completely incorporate the Western Regions into the territory of the Zhenxi Army. I admire you!" The two bowed slightly and their faces relaxed a lot. They were not afraid of one lord being incompetent, but they were afraid of one lord being able to move alone. They saw that Huangfu Jian had already planned, so they felt much more relieved.
"Immediately, the counties along the way should prepare food supplies for 10,000 cavalry. I will lead 10,000 cavalry to set off lightly, and the food supplies will be supplied by the counties along the way." Huangfu Jian added.
He was afraid that bringing a lot of baggage would delay his trip. By then, Kucha would be destroyed by Wusun, and the trouble would be a little big.
"No!" The two of them received the order.
"Which lord has the lord, besides bringing five thousand personal guards?" Jia Xu asked.
"Chances of dragon, tiger, and leopard can choose one of them." Huangfu Jian said.
"I will make arrangements now!" Yan Zhong replied.
"Wait!" Huangfu Jian blocked Yan Zhong, and then rebuilt the reconstruction of Chang'an City, allowing them to take charge of the overall situation in Chang'an City.
Yan Zhong took the order and left Huangfu Jian's study room to convey Huangfu Jian's order.
There are also Jieyou, Jia Xu and Huangfu Jian in the study.
"Lord, do you have any words that should be said or not?" Jia Xu looked at Chu Chu's moving worries and said.
"Sir, like me, I am not a relative, but better than a relative. What else can I say?" Huangfu Jian didn't understand why Jia Xu suddenly said this and said with a smile.
"The lord is not young anymore, and Miss Jieyou can't wait any longer. As the saying goes, men should get married when they are old, women should get married when they are old. The lord should also do this lifelong event." Jia Xu said seriously.
"military adviser……"
Before Huangfu Jian could say anything, Jieyou seemed ashamed and happy, his face flushed, and his voice started to scream like mosquitoes and flies.
"Haha...it should be! I will wait until I come back this time and when the general is built, I will marry You'er." Huangfu Jian was very happy, holding Jie You's slender jade hand and said with a smile.
"Young Master, you are so bad! Who said you want to marry you..."
Jieyou was shy and shy, and his head was very low, hiding in Huangfu Jian's arms.
