Chapter 354 The Western Regions

One word awakens the dreamer.

Although Xidu is nice, it is too closed and surrounded by mountains. It is troublesome to go out and it is troublesome to come in.

If Yang Zheng only wanted to separate his country, this place would be a good place.

But if Yang Zheng wants to go further, he must go out.

Judging from the sand table, moving to Guzang can better control Xiping, Xihai, Jincheng, Xitao and Anding.

The layout of Guzang City is also much larger than that of Xidu.

There are Xianbei to the north of Wuwei, Qiang and Hu in the interior, and powerful scholar families. In addition to these, there are Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, which are on the same rope as Wuwei.

It will definitely not work if you don’t personally take charge.

Moving to Guzang is actually a kind of determination.

A determination to attack.

Yang Zheng turned his eyes to Du Yu. After Du Yu pondered for a long time, he nodded, "If our army wants to succeed, it must move to Wuwei."

"It's best to consult Duke Lu about this matter." Yang Zheng did not forget Lu Zhi, who was guarding the rear.

Without him, there would be no such series of victories.

Later generations always like to praise Zhang Liang for strategizing, but in fact, the real pillar was Xiao He.

Without Xiao He who stabilized Liu Bang's rear and sent soldiers, food and wages to the front line time and time again, Liu Bang would have been completely defeated.

Asking Lu Zhi for his opinion is the greatest respect for him.

Yang Zheng left Wei Guan in Manyin, assisted Du Yu in dealing with various post-war matters, and flew to the Western Capital with a thousand horsemen.

The journey home is like an arrow.

There has been no war in Xiping in recent years, and it has absorbed a lot of people, and it has gradually become a bit like a paradise.

Villages have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

In the vast streets, old people, women and children are enjoying themselves.

However, Yang Zheng had no intention of browsing the scenery along the way and rushed to Xidu.

When I saw Lu Zhi, I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart.

I saw that the white hair on Lu Zhi's temples had become much denser, and the ravines on her face were a little deeper.

When Yang Zheng came to this chaotic world, he never met his biological father, nor did he feel the warmth of his family like others. He was alone and hacked all the way to where he is today.

Only in Lu Zhi did I feel some care from the elders.

"uncle……"

"Xingyun defeated Yongliang and reached Chang'an. It is famous all over the world. It is a joy to congratulate." When Lu Zhi saw Yang Zheng, the wrinkles on his face also rippled.

"If it weren't for my uncle, would my nephew An have made such a great contribution?"

Lu Zhi shook his head, "Although Guo Huai has selfish motives, he is after all a veteran who fought for the country. The fact that you can treat his corpse kindly shows that you have a broad mind and that the Yongliang Army can be used by you in the future."

Only then did Yang Zheng remember that Lu Zhi was recommended by Guo Huai.

"The deceased is already dead, and it is not the behavior of a man to humiliate his body."

"Recently, letters have arrived from Huangfulong, the governor of Dunhuang, Du Tong, the governor of Zhangye, and Wang Huiyang, the governor of Jiuquan. They will elect you as the governor of Liangzhou, the commander-in-chief of all the military forces in Liangzhou, and the general of Zhenxi!" Lu Zhi smiled more and more kindly.

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Sima Shi got himself a general to conquer Shu, which was obviously digging a hole for himself.

Now that he has five counties under his command, plus a suit, it is unreasonable to just be the prefect of Jincheng.

Besides, it's not easy to explain to your subordinates.

Now that the three of them recommend it, it is equivalent to standing on their own side.

The idea behind being the governor of Liangzhou, the commander-in-chief of all military affairs in Liangzhou, and the general of Zhenxi is that Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang will all be under his own control from now on!

The strength of these three counties is by no means inferior to Wuwei.

Dunhuang, in particular, has a vast territory and has been managed by Cangci and Huangfulong for many years. It has a large population and abundant money and food.

Moreover, during the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, they all stayed out of the war and their families were rich.

Fortunately, he didn't kill everyone in Anding, otherwise Huangfulong would definitely fight to the death with him.

Not only the Huangfu family, but also the Zhang family and the Liang family in Dunhuang.

The northwest scholar Jiahao is on the right and the branches are connected with each other.

It's not that they are afraid of them, but this kind of internal strife will greatly consume the strength of the Han family and involve Yang Zheng's energy and time. Moreover, Shi Jiahao's right and right are connected with each other, affecting the whole body with one move, colluding internally and externally, plus

Xianbei, Qiang and Hu tigers are eyeing him, and Yang Zheng is likely to fall into the same situation as Hu Fen.

When Sima Zhao's army arrives, a few leading parties will open the door...

That picture is really unimaginable.

"My nephew is a military slave, and he can supervise an army without even thinking about it." Yang Zheng sighed with emotion when he recalled all the difficulties in the past.

As for whether the Luoyang court agreed or not, it is basically unimportant.

As long as it is recognized internally and peripherally, it will be fine.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This is just the beginning. You must not slack off." The expression on Lu Zhi's face became serious again.

"Nephew, remember this!" Yang Zheng handed over his hand.

As for the move to Guzang, Lu Zhi nodded in agreement without thinking, "The royal qi of the northwest are all gathered in Guzang. At that time, it was also the royal city where the Xiongnu slaughtered the king. When the clouds are rising, I have an old man in Hehuang to take care of it."

"Thank you uncle."

Although there were difficulties and obstacles along the way, Yang Zheng finally took the right path.

In fact, the biggest advantage of Xiping is internal harmony. The Qiang, Hu and Han are integrated into a whole, and at least there is no internal friction for now.

All Yang Zheng's orders can be carried out.

"Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang are standing with us, but the Western Regions are indifferent. We must be on guard against rising clouds." After he was happy, Lu Zhi said again.

"Western Region?"

"That's right, the Governor of the Western Regions, the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Regions, Ma Yan, has not seconded the proposal. He may have other ideas, so we must be on guard."

The Western Region is right on top of the Western Sea.

The Han and Wei dynasties used Liangzhou to govern the Western Regions.

Dunhuang has extremely strong control over Gaochang Loulan.

These two places are the essence of the Western Regions, especially the land of Gaochang. In the next four hundred years, four Han Gaochang states emerged one after another.

Since the Han Dynasty, the land of Gaochang has been the focus of the Han family's farming operations.

Two or three hundred years have passed, and the Han people have definitely reached a certain number.

Moreover, these areas were both arable and grazing, so there must have been a considerable number of cavalry.

It poses a great threat to Liangzhou.

"Then let's send someone to inquire first and see what Ma Yan is thinking." No matter how strong the Western Region Chief Shifu is, can he compare with himself now?

In fact, it would be better if Ma Yan had different intentions.

Under the current situation, expansion to the east is obviously impossible.

Besides, Guanzhong suffered from repeated wars and did not have much oil and water. On the contrary, the Western Regions had abundant oil and water.

Opening up the Western Regions meant opening up trade routes, and wouldn’t money be pouring in?

To make a comparison, Dunhuang is almost the Shenzhen of later generations, and Gaochang is the Hong Kong of later generations...

As soon as it was about to rain, someone brought an umbrella.

Ma Yan wants to hit the edge of the knife himself, no wonder he is ruthless.

"You can decide the war on your own. People like Huangfulong, Du Tong, Wang Huiyang, and Fan Can have some sympathy with me. It would be best if they could avoid fighting. It is not easy for the Han people in Hexi to grow." Lu Zhi said with compassion.

Yang Zheng nodded and said, "My nephew knows."

"There will be no more fighting this year. The Xiping family has been ruined by you. The soldiers also need rest and internal adjustments."

"Of course we won't fight again this year. There's no way Ma Yan will change his mind." Yang Zheng said with a smile.

If he becomes the governor of Liangzhou, he will have jurisdiction over the Western Regions.
