Xu Shu pursed his lips slightly, but kept walking and continued walking forward.

"If you dare to walk out of this room, I will order the guards to push you to Jinling. Please forgive me!" Fa Zheng said with a firm tone.

His footsteps paused, Xu Shu's eyes flashed with emotion and recognition, but he said in a cold voice: "Does the Governor have anything else to say?"

Slow and deep footsteps sounded from behind. Fazheng walked up to Xu Shu step by step, looked directly into Xu Shu's eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Xu Yuanzhi, I am the governor of Liangzhou, Liangzhou."

Everything is decided by me, and it’s not your turn to do anything wrong. Don’t think that I don’t know what you are thinking. I am not that cowardly to ask you to take responsibility for me. You are just the governor of Liangzhou. I don’t care. The worst I can do is start over from scratch.

, I can afford to lose!"

Xu Shu looked at Fazheng's firm eyes and smiled: "This is the Fa Xiaozhi I know. In this case, please let the governor speak."

Zhuge Jin looked at the two of them with relief and slightly worried eyes, as well as the equally passionate Yang Xiu beside him, and sighed in his heart.

Both Fazheng, Xu Shu and Yang Xiu are people who prefer radical adventures and like to make dangerous moves. Yuan Shu is really bold to put the three of them here. Without a stable person to suppress them, if these three people go crazy

When Zhuge Jin came here, he was really worried that the whole world would be broken.

He knows his own affairs, so he has no ability to suppress these three people. Although he is a few years older, in terms of governance and military strategy ability, he is not even a bit worse than the three people in front of him. But fortunately, he himself is also

Instead of relying on these things to make a living, his own sharp tongue is the foundation. Therefore, when encountering such things, he stood quietly aside and did not get involved.

Fa Zheng had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and after organizing his words, he said in a deep voice: "If we want to intervene in the Western Regions, we must first have a reasonable excuse. First, it will show that we have a good reputation; secondly, if Kushan discovers it,

You can also relax your guard."

"There are still many remnants of Xianbei who were destroyed by Gongsun Bogui and fled to the Western Regions, intending to make a comeback to seek revenge on us." Xu Shu casually said a reason: "There is a precedent of chasing the Huns in the past, so this reason must be justified."

"When it comes to the Huns, I think it would be better to include the Northern Huns." Yang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Northern Xiongnu are almost extinct now and have lost even half of their former glory. What's the point of mentioning them?" Xu Shu asked puzzledly.

Yang Xiu glanced at Xu Shu. Compared to Xu Shu, who was a descendant of a poor family, the background of the Yang family's background was fully revealed: "Yuanzhi, you only know one, but you don't know the other. Although the Northern Huns are almost extinct now, their remaining power still exists, otherwise Guishang

How could it be possible that such a former mortal enemy was allowed to remain silent?"

"Back then, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu fought for years, each claiming dominance. The Yuezhi, the predecessor of today's Kushan, was just a small and insignificant force at that time. They were constantly bullied by the Xiongnu and had to move westward. The power of the Xiongnu at that time was no less powerful than it is now.

Guishan, the entire Western Region together with many areas of Guishan were just battlefields between the Han and Hungarians at that time. All the countries in the Western Regions obeyed orders, fought fearfully, and did not dare to resist at all."

"Later, the Xiongnu were defeated and fled north, but they still dominated the west of the Western Regions, and the Han Dynasty launched a war with them in the Western Regions. The war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu lasted for hundreds of years. The attack was carried out at all costs, coupled with the many internal problems of the Xiongnu, this

Only then did the Huns be completely destroyed." Yang Xiu said in a low tone.

Many people only know that the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and even nearly destroyed the Xiongnu, but they do not understand how powerful the Xiongnu was back then.

Xianbei claims to have replaced the Xiongnu, which is completely arrogant. Even if the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan are added to it, they are nothing compared to the Xiongnu in their peak period.

How powerful were the Xiongnu back then? Almost the entire Asia surrendered to them. They defeated Donghu in the east, merged with Loufan in the south, and the Kingdom of Henan, attacked the Yueshi and other countries in the Western Regions in the west, and conquered Dingling and Jiankun in the northwest. The scope was Mongolia.

The plateau is the center, extending to the eastern part of Inner Mongolia in the east. It borders the Qin and Han Dynasties along the Great Wall to the south, and once controlled the Hetao and Ordos areas. To the west, it is bounded by the Altai Mountains, deep into the Aral Sea and the Black Sea in Central Asia, and reaches around Lake Baikal in the north.

.Referred to as the "Great Country of Hundreds of Barbarians".

In the past, Xianbei only dominated the northern part of the Han Dynasty. It could not compare with the Xiongnu in terms of territory or combat power. The Han Dynasty could defeat such a powerful Xiongnu and pursue them all the way to the Western Regions. Its power was simply heart-stopping.

Every time he thought about this period of history, Yang Xiu felt a surge of ambition and pride in his heart. Chasing the North and having hundreds of countries surrender was simply the dream of all Han people.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart for the time being, Yang Xiuxiu said calmly: "The Northern Huns are now on the verge of destruction, but Guishang has no intention of attacking. However, we can use this as an excuse to intervene in the Western Regions."

"Now there are still Northern Xiongnu remnants in the Western Regions? Where are they located?" Xu Shu asked.

"Near Kang Juguo." Yang Xiu replied. How could the Yang family not pay attention to such a sensitive existence of the Northern Huns? The Han Dynasty had been watching for hundreds of years and never stopped pursuing it, so naturally they would not let it go.

"Kang Juguo?" Xu Shu suddenly realized something and frowned.

Yang Xiu sneered slightly: "Otherwise, how do you think Kang Juguo and Dawan have the courage to break away from the control of the Kushans? They are just pretending to be powerful. Although the Northern Huns are in decline, the Kushans do not dare to attack easily. They have a good plan.

, but we are not afraid of the dangers of raising tigers.”

"What is the situation of the Northern Huns today?" Xu Shu asked with concern. For the Han people, the Northern Huns have always been a special existence. Compared with the Southern Huns who have been tamed from wolves to dogs, these people would rather move westward away from their place of survival.

, the Northern Huns who were unwilling to surrender were the real enemy.

"The population is only two to three hundred thousand, and it has lost its former glory. Otherwise, we would not be willing to lie dormant in a small place like Kangju." Fazheng said in a deep voice.

The Legal family he belonged to was also a big family, and it was located in Xiliang. He knew as much as Yang Xiu.

"Only 200,000 to 300,000 people?" Xu Shu said in surprise: "Don't even Guishuang dare to take action?"

Yang Xiu smiled softly: "Yuanzhi, you think the Northern Huns are too simple. They can fight the Han for hundreds of years and even have the upper hand. How can it be so simple? Even though there are only two to three hundred thousand people, these

They are all bloody people who have experienced countless bloody battles and countless dangers. They have been suppressed and pursued by the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years and still resisted. Their will has been tempered to the extreme. Among these two to three hundred thousand people, even women and children are

Someone who can kill people. If he really puts his life into it, he can at least pull out 150,000 elite cavalry. Even our great Chu would not dare to win easily without 200,000 elites. Let alone Kuishang."

Fazheng also nodded: "The Northern Huns cavalry is not Xianbei, they are parallel imports like the Southern Huns. You should know what it means to have more than 100,000 elite cavalry. As long as the Northern Huns do not commit suicide and fight head-on, Gongsun Bogui and the champion

There is nothing he can do if Hou is reincarnated. Otherwise, the Han Dynasty would not have been able to eliminate it after pursuing it for hundreds of years."

In this era of underdeveloped science and technology and transportation and slow information transmission, the nomadic people have an absolute advantage in combat power over agricultural civilization. All the people are soldiers, and they can run away if they cannot be defeated. People like the Northern Huns have no intention of surrender and are determined to fight to the end.

, it cannot be destroyed at all, the most it can do is fight away.

"The Northern Huns are still so powerful now, so we have to act more cautiously." Xu Shu's face was full of solemnity. He finally understood why Yuan Shu was unwilling to send troops to the Western Regions, and Fazheng and Yang Xiu had been opposed to this. The Western Regions
