The visit of Xu Shu and others this time was not for nothing. In addition to Li, who himself had the rank of General Anxi, Yang Xiu got the position of Wuji Colonel, and Xu Shu and Zhuge Jin also had the title of Sixth Grade Chief of History.

Position. Based on their achievements during their time in Xiliang, it is reasonable for them to be promoted to this position despite their young age.

"We are here this time as Captain Wuji to rebuild the Western Region Changshi's Mansion, so as to secretly control the countries in the Western Regions. However, our focus is not on the countries in the Western Regions, but on Guishang, Kangju State and the Northern Xiongnu

." Yang Xiu said lazily.

"Dezu, what is the situation in the countries in the Western Regions?" During this period of time in Xiliang, Xu Shu had been busy with Li and others to suppress the Qiang people, and had no time to pay attention to other matters. This time he came to the Western Regions just for Jingji.

Ji Dong came here because he had some understanding of the situation in the Western Region, but he didn't know much about the specific situation in the Western Region.

"The countries in the Western Regions!" Yang Xiu murmured, his tone full of disdain and ridicule: "The countries in the Western Regions are just small tribes controlled by wastes who are greedy for pleasure and have no ambitions. They are not worth mentioning at all.

"

"Dezu, I know you are arrogant and look down on these barbarians, but there is no need to say that. After all, it is a country that has existed for hundreds of years." Xu Shu couldn't help but said.

"Although what Dezu said is a bit biased, it is generally correct." Zhuge Jin, who has always been humble, couldn't help but said: "The survival of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions to this day does not rely on their own strength."

"Are the countries in the Western Regions as bad as you say?" Xu Shu couldn't help but ask.

"Yuan Zhi, do you know why the Han Dynasty set up the Protectorate of the Western Regions back then?" Yang Xiuhu said.

"In order to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes in the Western Regions, ease the relations between the countries in the Western Regions, and stabilize the Western Regions." Xu Shu said naturally.

"That's true, but the real reason is to help this group of trash in the Western Region suppress the situation and prevent riots under their command from affecting the stability of the Western Region." Yang Xiu gritted his teeth and said: "The kings of these countries in the Western Region are not ordinary

of trash!”

At the beginning, Ban Chao was the all-powerful leader in the Western Regions, how majestic and majestic he was. However, it also showed the weakness of the Western Regions.

At that time, the Western Region was in turmoil. After Ban Chao made great achievements and proposed using barbarians to control barbarians, what did Emperor Zhang do? He just sent a thousand soldiers to help and that was it. He didn't pay attention to the Western Regions at all.

This cannot be blamed on the Han Emperor. In fact, the countries in the Western Regions themselves were too unsatisfactory. All the kings of these countries had no ambitions. In other words, they could only develop by being close to the Han Dynasty and located on the Silk Road.

.It is better to say that it is a business leader than a country. The leaders of each country do not do serious business and only care about arrogance and extravagance every day. The dignified kingdom also secretly cultivates horse thieves and plunders the business roads. It is really disgusting.

At the beginning of the Han-Hu war, the countries in the Western Regions trembled like quails and did not dare to resist at all. Facing the threat of the Hu people, they repeatedly asked the Han people to take them in, and even sent princes as hostages to join them. However, the Han people did not hesitate at all.

Ignore these useless weaklings.

The countries in the Western Regions are not only weak in national strength, but the entire country is extremely weak and has no fighting spirit at all. They have been oppressed all year round and have become accustomed to being submissive. They have always followed the trend of powerful countries, but for a powerful country like the Han Dynasty with a good temper

, I used to cry every day to hug my thigh.

The Han Dynasty never worried that the countries in the Western Regions were too strong and would rebel. Instead, they were worried that they would be too weak and have constant civil strife, which would affect stability.

"There are currently about 40 large and small countries in the Western Region. The population of the large countries is only eighty-nine thousand, and the population of the small countries is only ten or twenty thousand. The total number of soldiers that can be fought is only one hundred thousand, and their fighting strength and morale are even worse than that of the new domestic army.

So, even though we only have three thousand flying bear troops, if we really take action, all the countries in the Western Region combined will not be able to defeat us." Yang Xiu said disdainfully.

"Then why are we here?"

Yang Xiu sighed slightly: "The countries in the Western Regions are indeed weak, but they are also short-sighted and do not know how to advance or retreat. Because the Western Regions are far away, the land is poor, and there are Qiang people obstructing them, as long as there are no big problems with the Silk Road, the big Han people will not bother to care.

, we the aristocratic families are the only ones who pay attention to it. Now that we have not contacted it for decades, it is time to make some efforts. The main purpose of our trip is to deter and facilitate the infiltration of the aristocratic families. "

"Can we have two games with the Northern Huns?" Xu Shu asked.

After learning about the situation in the Western Regions, Xu Shu decisively gave up the idea of ​​dealing with these weaklings. After bullying the Qiang people for so long, he no longer felt any pleasure in beating the weak. Only the Northern Huns did this.

Only the strong can arouse his interest.

"It's up to you. If the situation is good, there is no problem in two fights, but you have to be careful not to overdo it so as not to arouse the fear of the Kushan and the Northern Huns." Yang Xiu glanced at Xu Shu and said.

Due to his temper, even if he didn't agree, he would probably take a small group of cavalry for a walk, so it would be better to just comply with his wishes.

...

In the former Cheshi Kingdom, under the city of Gaochang, the royal capital. A large army was lined up in front of the city. The general of the former Cheshi Kingdom was at the front, holding the knife in his hand, looking at the scorching sun above his head, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

"Didn't the Han envoy say that it will arrive today? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Seeing that the other party was angry, the Xiliang Army scout on the side did not show any fear on his face, and said in an indifferent tone: "Maybe there was a situation on the road that delayed us for a while. Please forgive me, General, and wait a little longer."

"you..."

Before the former chariot general could finish his words, he suddenly felt a slight tremor on the earth, and a black "dark cloud" appeared on the distant horizon, coming quickly.

The whole Xiliang army, galloping on horseback, still maintained a neat formation, charging towards Gaochang City in a cone-shaped formation. The neat formation, the low and rhythmic sound of horse hoofs, and the faint gleaming light under the sunlight

The black armor that passed by attracted the attention of the former Cheshi Kingdom soldiers like fireflies in the dark night.

Although there were only three thousand soldiers, the momentum of the Flying Bear Army's charge was no worse than that of the more than ten thousand cavalry. That indomitable momentum was not something ordinary soldiers could bear, let alone facing this group of weak soldiers from the Western Regions.

Under the disdainful gaze of the Xiliang army scouts, the former Cheshiguo general with an angry face and arrogant attitude turned pale when he saw the Feixiong army that was about to rush in front of him. Those trembling legs, if he didn't know

The person in front of him was not an enemy. He was still thinking that he was responsible for welcoming the envoy, so he probably fled long ago.

Many of the soldiers behind him were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, and some simply slipped back into the city.

Is this considered a soldier?
