: Far Distance and Close Conflict

When Zhuge Liang had not returned to Luoyang, Guo Hao had not returned to Luoyang either.

The troubles in Japan have been put down, and the regime of the puppet Himihu has basically spread to all the four islands of Japan.

Coupled with the active cooperation of Su Zhanmingzun, the Japanese people have already recognized the fact that they have become one of the vassal states of the Han Dynasty, and to a certain extent have the same status as Goryeo.

Even the status is a little lower than that of the Koreans. After all, they were naturalized early and there are die-hard Han converts like Gao Xianzhi, so overall they are higher than the Japanese.

But the problem is that just when the internal troubles were settled and Guo Hao and others were about to return to the imperial court, Sun Ce and Gan Ning caused trouble again.

It was not that they took the initiative to cause trouble, but that pirates in the Indian Ocean began to move on a large scale toward the Pacific Ocean, and the two sides began to fight fiercely near Australia and Indonesia.

These pirates in the Indian Ocean could not be Gan Ning's opponents, but during the battle, these pirates showed different professional qualities. The overall level of professionalism was extremely professional. They even had standard equipment. Although it was very old,

But what is certain is that it comes from Kushan.

After Cecilian returned to Kushan, he was of course unwilling to let his youth slip away.

After returning, he immediately mobilized the Kushan navy and all the Kushan nobles, directly gathered the pirates in the Indian Ocean together, and then conducted a wave of assault training, and then eliminated a wave of equipment for these pirates.

Then completely expel these pirates from the Indian Ocean and let them head towards the Pacific Ocean.

Then they bumped into Sun Ce and Gan Ning. The two teamed up to rob Sun Quan's fleet and were cruising around when they ran into this group of pirates.

It's not something worth making a fuss about, just fight it.

But after the two sides fought, small countries near Indonesia began to come to the door one after another, crying for their parents and demanding that the whole country follow them.

Their life was not easy in the first place. Seeing that they were caught in the war between two empires this time, a group of nobles from small countries naturally ran away quickly.

Of course, Guo Hao would not refuse the territory that came to his door. After collecting it, he realized that the stall was too big.

Pirates can be weak when concentrated, but the most troublesome thing is that they can launch attacks anytime and anywhere.

In desperation, Guo Hao led the Japanese expeditionary force down the river on ships, arrived at various ports in Indonesia, and began to divide the troops and station them.

Then Zheng He and Zhou Yu were sent to clean up the area around Indonesia, at least to eliminate all large-scale pirate groups first.

In the process, Guo Hao and others trained the local indigenous people and strived to give them the ability to protect themselves within the city.

After the pirates landed ashore, their combat effectiveness was not much different from that of the soldiers. As long as the Indonesian side narrowed the scope and merged the villages together, it would be enough for the various legions of the Han army to train a wave of militia for them.

Become self-sufficient.

The Han Dynasty will not be able to spare so many manpower for management for a while, so it can only use this extreme military control method to allow these indigenous people who nominally belong to the Han Dynasty to defend themselves.

After going back and forth, I was dragged here.

We can only wait for Zhou Yu and others to end their hide and seek with the pirates at sea, and then return to the court.

Unfortunately, this process was too long, and it was so long that some people in the Central Plains began to have other ideas.

…

"Huh? What is this?" Chen Xi looked at a document in his hand and felt ridiculous.

"Fengxiao, come and see if there is something wrong with my brain!" Chen Xi greeted Guo Jia with a face full of pain.

"You want to run away again? If you don't take me with you this time, I will go crazy!" Guo Jia took Chen Xi's documents carelessly and muttered.

The last time Chen Xi made an appointment to sneak away with him, but ended up tricking him and nailing him to death in the Government Affairs Office while he ran out to have a good time.

"Are you kidding me?" Guo Jia looked over and over at the documents in his hand, with confusion between his brows.

"Descendants of the Xiongnu and the Zahu coalition forces, is it really possible for such things to appear on the northern grasslands?" Chen Xi was puzzled, but this document was submitted by Baima Yicong, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

"If I really ate this document, how could there be a barbarian that Bai Mayi could not catch up with on the grassland?" Guo Jia said with a sneer. He had already guessed what was behind this thing.

"What do you mean?" Chen Xi frowned and couldn't help but think of the previous chaos in Luoyang.

"It seems that someone is dishonest again. I really thought no one could control them!" Guo Jia threw away the documents in his hand and couldn't help but sneer.

"You mean the aristocratic family? So... Li Wenyou was the one who did it?" Chen Xi narrowed his eyes.

"Most likely, who else can be used to publish documents in the name of Baima Yicong?" Guo Jia clicked on the document in his hand, with a sneer on his face.

"It is estimated that in two days, you will receive the news that a certain aristocratic family was looted and the whole family died." Guo Jia said expressionlessly. He had always kept a distance from Li Ru.

"This reason is so lame, maybe some people will think it is true."

"It's the season of restlessness again. Now that Li Wenyou has started to take action, it's probably more than just a simple problem!" Chen Xi knocked on the table and couldn't help but feel a headache.

Just like there are shadows behind the light, there is no way to kill all the moths within an empire.

After the borer's position is taken over, the new one will face the same test. Once he fails to pass, he will become a borer again.

Power is like the most seductive poison. Every promotion is a test. Chen Xi has seen too many examples of corruption over the years.

The most common ones are those who have no spiritual talent but have good talents. They are often the easiest to go astray.

This is also a very helpless thing. The people above are all mentally gifted, and they cannot be replaced, and there is no way to sublimate them.

In the end, the way forward is cut off, and the goal of life cannot be found, and then the person falls into depravity, whether it is alcohol, sex, or money. The ways of depravity are nothing more than these.

There is another type of depravity here, but what is not completely degenerate is eating. Compared with other types of depravity, this type is considered the best.

After all, just eating as much as you can eat is just a drop in the bucket compared to other bad hobbies.

"The hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit, and the bustling world is for profit!" Chen Xi scratched his head. He has never advocated one-size-fits-all.

"Send a document to Li Wenyou and ask him to be careful. Killing is not the best way to solve the problem!" Chen Xi sighed, and finally decided to intervene.

Chen Xi knew that Li Ru was reliable, but he was too murderous.

Sometimes, killing can indeed solve the problem, but he always habitually avoids this because there are always other ways.

If you are used to using a hammer to solve problems, you will always use a hammer. If you use a hammer to solve any problem, the country will be completely in chaos.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. It makes me upset when I talk about it. Where have Kong Ming and the others been and why haven't they come back yet?" Chen Xi sighed and then casually changed the topic.

"We should have arrived in Xiliang!" Guo Jia raised his head and made an estimate. Someone had flown back to report the news before, so based on the approximate marching speed, he had almost returned.

"Well, I don't know how Kong Ming and the others will gain this time. The battlefield is a good place for training!" Chen Xi thought expectantly.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Lu Zijing is also on the side. With the two of them, there won't be any big trouble. It's just a matter of harvest size." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Everyone has high hopes for Zhuge Liang. He is an eternal genius who can take over Chen Xi's position. If he grows up early, all of them will be able to relax.

"Prime Minister!"

Just as the two were chatting, Zhao Yun stepped into the Government Affairs Office. After sending Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan to the hospital, he ran over without daring to stop for a moment.

"Oh oh oh, say Zilong, Zilong will be here!" Chen Xi said with a smile, but seeing the solemn look on Zhao Yun's face, he couldn't help but become serious.

"What happened?" Chen Xi said seriously.

"There are Huns!" Zhao Yun said simply and clearly.

"Look, I just said that Li Wenyou's reason was so bad!" Guo Jia shook his head and said disdainfully to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was also one of the top two. He didn't know how to explain to Zhao Yun the inside story behind the Xiongnu descendant's looting of the village. This thing really didn't look good on the bright side.

"We know about this matter and are already dealing with it!" Chen Xi scratched his head and finally said to Zhao Yun tactfully.

"You already know?" Zhao Yun was stunned. They only figured it out at the border of Congling.

Chen Xi actually knew it a long time ago. Did Zhuge Liang arrange other back-up people to deliver the news?

But in an instant, Zhao Yun's IQ exceeded the limit for the first time, and he realized that Chen Xi and he were not talking about the same thing at all.

"Kong Ming discovered that there were descendants of the Huns in the army of the Parthian Empire, and traces of the Huns' technology were also found in the secret weapons of Parthia. For this reason, Kong Ming overextended his abilities and is now being treated in the hospital!"

Zhao Yun quickly explained the whole thing.

This time, Chen Xi and Guo Jia understood that they were the real Huns, not those fabricated by Li Ru.

"You mean, the Huns are not dead?"

Guo Jia is very upset. The Huns are destined to die, right? This time they thought they had crushed their bones to ashes. But now you tell me, the Huns seem to be alive and well.

Chen Xi was also very annoyed, although there was once a saying that the Huns were descendants of the Huns and inherited the last wishes of the Huns.

On the one hand, it destroyed the Jin Dynasty in the east and set off the Five Husties of China, and on the other hand, it forced the barbarians to revolt in Central Asia and ended Rome.

From this aspect, the Xiongnu did die endlessly in history. All the nomadic peoples in the later period seemed to have a certain Xiongnu flavor, which can be regarded as spreading the concept of either Han or Hu to every corner.

However, Zhao Yun brought bad news as well as good news.

That means the enemy is in the open and they are in the dark.

"Zilong, go back and tell everyone that this news should not be spread indiscriminately. Now is not the time to raise troops!" Chen Xi knocked on the table and finally issued an order.

"The road to the Western Region has not yet been built, and Tiangong-1 is also inspecting Africa. The General and his crew are at sea, and it is a troubled time!" Chen Xi tapped the table rhythmically.

I have to say that Zhuge Liang's empty city strategy was really good.

Zhuge Liang's empty city strategy prevented the Parthians from noticing at all. In fact, the problem of the Huns had been exposed to the eyes of the Han Dynasty.

The main reason is that young people are too confusing, coupled with Zhuge Liang's three consecutive attempts to reduce his intelligence, even people like Lu Xun and others who are familiar with Zhou Yu's ability are not aware of it, let alone the Parthian generals who are seeing it for the first time.

"Then who should be sent as envoy to Rome..."

Since Parthia has become a stumbling block that must be eradicated when it comes to making friends with distant people and attacking those close to home, then it is naturally the best policy to cooperate internally and externally.
