The Khan of Tuyuhun sent an envoy to seek peace (resubmission), which made Yuwen Wen disagreed. Looking back on the past events of the two countries' interactions more than ten years ago, he thought of a scene.

That year, a tall, rich and handsome man drove a million-level sports car and stopped at the door of the girls' dormitory. After getting off the car, he walked towards a young girl, took out a gold card, and forced it to the other party:

"From today on your way, you will be my woman, and you will have no status, but I will support you for the rest of your life."

In the envious eyes of everyone, the girl looked at her boyfriend who was dressed in ordinary clothes and was helpless, raised her head and threw the golden card on the face of the rich and handsome man, and replied proudly: "No way!"

Ten years later, the rich and handsome man drove a sports car of tens of millions and stopped in front of the business office building. When he was about to enter the door, he saw the girl of that year and the ordinary office workers at that time.

The boyfriend fled from debts and was forced by the creditor to have a desperate girl. After seeing the tall, rich and handsome man, she choked speechlessly. After a long time, she asked, "Can you still give me that gold card?"

If you apply to the perspective of a girl, this feeling is very unpleasant, but if you apply to the perspective of a tall, rich and handsome guy...

Still unhappy.

I'm shameless, now I know I'm wrong? I sincerely won you over, but you thought the West Sea was so big that you could hide wherever you want. The Central Plains court just had no choice but to do anything to you?

Yuwen Wen cursed in his heart, looking at the map of the Xihai area, and thinking about it.

More than ten years ago, Tuyuhun rejected the favor of Zhou and chose to "do your own things", so the Zhou army began to attack the Xihai area, and the Crown Prince Yuwen Weicheng also made military achievements for this.

Since then, Yuwen Wen has been determined to pull out the sheep, and has pulled out a sheep called "Tuyuhun" without a single wool left.

More than ten years have passed, the Tuyuhun Khanate suffered heavy casualties under the various attacks of Zhou army. A large number of tribes were captured by the "Yi Cong" (slave hunting team) organized by the powerful Longyou, and men, women, young and old became slaves.

Not only that, even the Tuoba family of Tuohun Khan Murong Fuyun, the in-laws of Dangxiang Qiang and Tuoba, were in trouble, and other Qiangs standing on Tuohun, also became the targets of the attacks of the "Yi Cong" people.

The cotton plantations in Longyou urgently needed a large amount of slave labor, and the construction of railways also required a large amount of slave labor, so catching slaves in the Xihai area (general, not just Xihai) became one of the most popular and profitable transactions of the powerful people in Longyou.

After years of war, the "national people" (nobles) in Tuyuhun suffered heavy casualties. The tough war-torn factions back then could no longer be hard. These old antiques who were not as good as the ancient ones finally realized that the Zhou State was completely different from the previous Central Plains court.

The vast Xihai area could no longer stop the progress of the "brutal" Zhou army. The Zhou army and the "Yicong" cavalry could pursue a large area of ​​thousands of miles away, and chase the Tuyuhun tribe without a way to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

The people of Tuyuhun may have remembered the good things that were back then, the various benefits that the Zhou State promised back then, and regretted it.

Therefore, the scarred monarch and ministers of Tuyuhun were probably afraid and could not continue to fight. They hoped to negotiate (submission) and seek a way out.

So Murong Fuyun sent an envoy to Hehuang, begging to go to Beijing to meet the emperor and request surrender.

Of course, this behavior may also be a delay in time, because summer is coming, and the "Yi Cong" in Longyou are about to start construction again.

If the central government's pursuit of peace touches the matter of Tuyuhun, then the "Yicheng" cannot attack Tuyuhun. It will take more than half a year and this year will pass.

This is a precious breathing time for Tuyuhun.

However, Yuwen Wen will not be fooled. No matter whether Tuyuhun sincerely surrenders or delays time, he does not intend to give the other party a chance.

Because he once gave the other party a chance, but he didn't cherish it, he dared to be shameless, so he deserved to die.

The railway from Lanzhou has been built to the Hehuang Valley and arrived at the Xihai River. It was officially opened to traffic at the end of spring this year. The powerful men of Longyou sharpened the swords in their hands. Yi Cong took their weapons and horses on the train, "Besides," and rushed to the Xihai region, waiting for a big fight.

Therefore, the court should support the "Yi Cong" and increase efforts to make money.

The territory of Tuyuhun has been firmly controlled by the imperial court in the eastern Xihaihu District, and Tuyuhun is no longer necessary to exist.

Yuwen Wen tried to use Tuyuhun as a guardian dog, guarding the Xihai area, appropriately arming the other party and strengthening his strength, so that he could bite the Tubo that would inevitably grow stronger in the future at any time.

After all, Tuyuhun is a "local person". It is the most suitable servant army to adapt to the local climate and diet in high altitude areas.

The other party can plunder the wool from the Qiang and the Dangxiang, exchange raw mouth and animal husbandry products for supplies from the Central Plains, and even have good settlements in the Hehuang Valley. The nobles can fully live a good life through this cooperation.

However, Tuyuhun chose to be a wolf rather than a watchdog, so Yuwen Wen trained his own hunting dog to deal with the forces in the Xihai region and even the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region.

This hunting dog has been cultivated, which is the armed merchant group of the powerful Longyou. They carry out animal husbandry in the Xihai area, and the pastoral territory is getting bigger and bigger.

In the West Sea area, the climate has begun to warm up.

Based on more than ten years of temperature observation, Youshi concluded that the extreme bitter and cold weather in the Xihai region gradually decreased and the climate tended to warm.

Of course, compared to the Central Plains, it is still a bitter and cold place.

However, there are indeed large areas of barren land in the West Sea area that begin to grow weeds, which means that large areas of potential pastures are taking shape.

The powerful people of Longyou divided a large number of pastures in the Xihai area, started raising cattle and sheep, and then drove cattle and sheep to Hehuang in autumn. Relying on the gradually improved frozen storage and transportation system, they transported the cattle and sheep in the east, transporting live cattle and sheep or frozen meat to Longyou, making a lot of money in Guanzhong.

At this time, if the court wants to reconcile with Tuyuhun, will the Tuyuhun tribes come back? Will the large-scale ranch be handed over?

This approach seriously damages the interests of the Longyou tyrants and intensifies the conflicts between the local and central governments. Yuwen Wen is not so stupid as to this point. He ignores the interests of domestic interest groups for the sake of false reputation.

He knew that it was during this period of history that the climate in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region was warming, so it was able to carry more population and livestock, which created objective conditions for the strong rise of Tubo.

Now, no matter what the situation in Tubo is, the Central Plains court has to fight a time difference and take advantage of the easy way to pull the wool of Tuyuhun to firmly control the Xihai area (geographical scope, not the area around the Xihai).

Vigorously develop animal husbandry in the Xihai area, and the surrounding Qiang and Dangxiang tribes develop border trade to support railway transportation (as of the surrounding areas of the Xihai area, current technology cannot build railways in plateau frozen areas).

Slowly recover the cost of railway construction, and then rely on the railway to support the garrison, support various front-line fortresses, and manage the Xihai area well.

The slave hunting team kept bleeding the disobedient Qiang and Dangxiang. The ranchers kept seizing the ranch and compressing the Qiang and Dangxiang's living space. Apart from surrendering, the other party could only run further away.

The imperial court relied on the powerful forces of the Longyou region to continuously strengthen its control over the Xihai region to ensure the safety of the flanks of Hexi and Longyou.

When Tubo completes internal integration, the Tubo monarchs and ministers will find that there is no room for them to expand in the east.

If you want to expand force, you can't beat it.

By then, Tuyuhun's wool had been plundered, and it was Tubo's turn to be plundered by Zhou.

Of course, the term "Tubo" has not appeared in the Central Plains literature now. When it comes to that area, it is mainly about "Zhufan" and "fan area".

Yuwen Wen and the bachelors studied the situation in the Xihai region for a long time and thought it would be better to let Tuyuhun die. As for Zhufan, thousands of miles southwest of Tuyuhun, it is said that internal integration is being carried out.

In the future, how should we deal with Zhufan in this distant area?

Yuwen Wen didn't plan to think too much about this problem. He just needed to consolidate the Xihai area and lay a solid foundation. The future affairs will be solved by future generations.
