Chapter 2921: Those who do not plan for eternity cannot plan for a moment.
In Xihai City.
Taishi Ci did not quarrel with other government affairs, but focused on the sand table and the terrain around Xihai City.
"Is General Wenyuan heading here to meet the enemy?" Tai Shici asked, pointing to the sand table that marked the location of the military stronghold.
Han Guo nodded and said: "I set off first, and then General Wenyuan probably left two days later. Calculating the time, he should be back by now..."
Taishi Ci frowned, "Wen Yuan just passed by like this, didn't you worry about an ambush?"
Han Guo responded: "There is indeed an ambush, probably in this area...General Wenyuan went around it..."
Taishi Ci was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Go around?"
Since it is an ambush, it is natural to observe the enemy's movements more. If it is so easy to be bypassed by the enemy, is it still called an ambush?
Han Guo nodded and said, "Most of the Western Region Allied Forces are ordinary herdsmen."
"Where are the elites?" Taishi Ci pointed to the military stronghold and said, "Are they all here?"
Han Guo nodded.
Taishi Cidu smiled, "This is really... well, let's not forget Wenyuan for the moment. Come forward and tell us how we fought with Wusun... How many Wusun people are there and how strong are they?"
Han Guo nodded, then walked to the sand table and began his review of Wusun's war.
Because the Wusun people deviated from the main area of the Western Regions, or were too far away from Xihai City, they have never received corresponding experience and lessons. This is also normal, just like farmers in the countryside imagining that the emperor must be using
Like a golden pole, because that is the limit that the farmer can imagine.
The limit that the Wusun people can imagine is probably the strength and soldiers that Gao Shun showed before...
This is not difficult to judge.
Otherwise, the Wusun people would not dare to send out a second time.
"Before my lord comes to the West Sea, deal with Wusun first!" Taishi Ci said in a deep voice, "You used five hundred cavalry to attack Wusun at night. When dawn comes, these people will definitely find out that you are outnumbered, so...
』
Han Guo looked at Tai Shici and said, "Shall I take five hundred more people to lure the enemy? While the Wusun people don't know that the general is already here... But where should we lure them?"
Taishi Ci nodded, "How about we just go to the city?"
Han Guo said: "Below the city? Then inside the city..."
Taishi Ci smiled and said nothing.
Han Guo nodded and said, "I accept your orders!"
Han Guo did not say that he had just come back and needed to rest, wash and eat before leaving. Instead, without saying a word, he called over several civil servants who were following him and told Taishi what Taishi Ci had told him.
Ci conveyed it to these two or three people, and then he bowed his hand to Taishi Ci and left.
Taishi Ci nodded to the clerks, recognized their faces, but said nothing.
The two or three civil servants also said nothing. After bowing, they followed what Han Guo said.
Han Guo stepped back and prepared to set off, while Liu Min came in on the back foot and reported to Taishi Ci: "Report to the Protector, the traitor has confessed..."
"What did you recruit?" Tai Shici asked.
Liu Min replied, "To inform the Protector, his original name is Pang Jing and he is a member of the Qiao Kingdom. His ancestor was once the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong. He was raped by an adulterer..."
Taishi Ci frowned and waved his hand, "What you will add to these detailed pasts is that the key now is what other spies are there in Xihai City, and who will follow?"
Liu Min swallowed everything that followed, then picked up the important ones and said, "The confession said that the person on the line is a son of the Yang family, named Kan, who calls himself the school minister under Prime Minister Cao..."
"School Minister?!" Tai Shici's eyes widened, "Well, he has extended his hand to the Western Region! This person just confessed without asking anything?"
"He mentioned one thing, which is to save his family's scrolls, which are in the hands of the Yang family." Liu Min replied, "My subordinates agreed first."
"what else?"
"He said that because his family was in the hands of the Yang family, he went to the Yang family's courtyard and suspected that a tunnel was being dug in the courtyard..." Liu Min said in a deep voice, "because he saw some new soil in the courtyard...
I just don’t know the conditions of the tunnel and where it leads to...』
"Okay, okay! This Xihai City is already full of mouse holes!" Taishi Ci laughed.
Taishi Ci stood up and turned around twice, "Since he is a school official, he must know how to use time. If we arrest this person now, he will definitely know it if we delay... Tonight, we will deploy manpower to arrest him immediately. Hugh
Let him get away!"
"Wei! I have already deployed the most elite manpower, and I will definitely catch them!" Liu Min responded.
Taishi Ci asked again: "In addition, we should also keep an eye on other suspicious places! Someone suspects that there are many other places in Xihai City! There must be only one place for this tunnel!"
Liu Min cupped his hands and said, "When my subordinates learned about the tunnel, they gathered a map of Xihai City to check the layout of the courtyards... In Xihai City, if a tunnel is excavated, it must be closer to the city wall. Otherwise, the difficulty will increase and it will be easily accessible.
Discovered. And there is enough space to dig, and not too many people come in and out...』
"Just tell me the result!" Tai Shici frowned and said.
"Only." Liu Min took two steps forward, reached the edge of the sand table, pointed to the outline of Xihai City and said, "In the west and north of the city, here, here, and here, there are three most likely places, all the size of the courtyard.
It's suitable, and there are few people coming in and out on weekdays..."
Taishi Ci glanced at Liu Min and nodded. Overall, Liu Min seemed to be quite capable, so Taishi Ci said, "Do you have any plans? How many manpower are you missing?"
Liu Min said: "Although my subordinates are generally suspicious of these three places, they cannot rule out whether there is a fish that has slipped through the net. However, as soon as it is alerted, the fish will definitely run away! Therefore, the general is asked to increase the inspection of the four fields outside the city.
Within ten miles outside, there are trees, shrubs and other places where many scouts are sent to monitor..."
"Yes!" Tai Shici nodded and said, "I will send a team of soldiers to you, and you will make arrangements for the arrests in the city! Do it well and don't lose the face of Youwen Si!"
Liu Min prostrated himself and kowtowed loudly.
This matter is said to be simple, but it is actually simple. It is said to be complicated, but of course it is very complicated.
Lu Bu didn't mention it. Even if Zhang Liao came, even if Liu Min went to check and arrest him, nothing could be done. Because Zhang Liao didn't have enough manpower, only Taishi Ci brought enough manpower at the moment, and none of these people could do anything.
Only when there is some connection with the local people in the Western Regions can we carry out a thorough encirclement and suppression of the spies in Xihai City.
Night fell quickly, and Xihai City was silent under the night.
A group of cavalry marched on the main street of Xihai City. The sound of horse hooves was heard far away in the silent night.
Under the cover of the sound of horse hooves, some figures appeared in the darkness, following the previously planned route, heading towards the three most suspicious courtyards.
Liu Min was outside the courtyard of the Yang family who was confessed, his eyes bright.
This courtyard has two entrances. The inner and outer courtyards are separated by the middle gate. Perhaps it is because of the separation of the inner and outer that there is space to dig tunnels. The outer courtyard has a main hall and four side rooms, which are all dark at this time.
Liu Min saw that the people in front and behind the courtyard were already in place, so he stretched out his hand, and suddenly someone climbed over the wall silently and came in. After a while, it seemed as if some oil was poured into the hinge of the outer door, and then almost
Yu silently removed the latch and opened the courtyard door.
In the outer courtyard, there was a faint smell of blood floating around.
Liu Min took a glance and saw a person lying down in a dark corner of the courtyard. It seemed that he was not completely dead, but he was suppressed. Not only could he not move his hands and feet, he could not even make a sound...
Liu Min observed and found nothing unusual in the outer courtyard. This is normal. After all, the outer courtyard is used to meet with foreign guests most of the time. Even if there is little interaction in the outer courtyard on weekdays, placing the tunnel in the outer courtyard will
It will undoubtedly increase a lot of risks, so it will basically be set up in the inner courtyard.
Just as Liu Min's men were walking from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, several crisp bells suddenly rang, which was particularly harsh in the silence!
It turns out that in the darkness of the inner courtyard, someone tied a black bell to a rope. As long as the door is pushed and the rope is pulled, it will ring immediately!
As the bell rang, a figure flashed at the window of a room in the inner courtyard and disappeared immediately.
"Don't leave!" Seeing that his concealment was broken, Liu Min immediately shouted, stretched out his hand and said, "Break the door!"
This secretly set bell also proves that there must be a ghost in the courtyard!
One person flew up and kicked directly towards the wooden door of the house. With a sound, the person groaned. Not only did he fail to kick the door open, but he seemed to have hurt himself.
Immediately, I heard some shouts and shouts coming from inside the door, and then there was the sound of some rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Liu Min's expression changed, "Go through the window! Break the door!"
Someone immediately smashed open the window, only to find that the inside was blocked by a bookshelf. Someone pushed and pulled it hard.
At the door, a strong man came forward with an iron spine. In a blink of an eye, he knocked the wooden board of the door to pieces. He went up and kicked it with his feet, and the bookshelves and wardrobes piled inside were pushed open by the strong man.
When Liu Min and others entered, they heard a snapping sound from deep in the room. Following the sound, they found a wooden board covered in the corner. Then they opened the wooden board and saw someone holding a gun.
He stabbed it upward and almost hit the person who lifted the wooden board.
The person who lifted the wooden board stepped aside, and a man holding a bow shot an arrow at the place where the figure was shaking in the hole!
Bowstrings rang, people screamed, and soon someone jumped down, shouting: "We've got it! There are still people running forward!"
Another person jumped down with a torch. Liu Min also took a torch and jumped down to take a look. He saw that a half-sized small room was dug underground. There was a hole in the corner that extended into the darkness.
The hole is not big, but you can walk almost upright.
Liu Min judged the direction of the cave entrance and snorted coldly.
Xihai City is close to the west city wall, and there is a low-rise private house that is not very eye-catching. Inside the private house, there are some messy things, and a few mice are squeaking, as if they have been frightened.
Staring in a certain direction.
A wooden board on the ground was suddenly lifted up, revealing a hole, and a black shadow emerged.
The mice were immediately frightened and fled in all directions.
The black shadow had no time to observe its surroundings, so it rushed out in a panic. Instead of immediately opening the door and escaping, it grabbed a thick wooden stick on the side, then propped it up under a stone mill, and pushed forward with its shoulders.
When I reached the top, I saw the stone mill slowly rolling onto the wooden board at the entrance of the cave, causing the wooden board to creak under the pressure.
Human voices came from the entrance of the cave, and some lights flashed in the gaps between the wooden boards. Soon someone seemed to be pushing the wooden board, but it couldn't be pushed at all. Only some muffled curses were heard...
The shadow took a few breaths, ran to a small cabinet, threw out all the messy utensils inside, lifted up the partition under the cabinet, then took out a hidden package, carried it behind his back, and stood
After listening for a few moments at the door, he opened the latch and ran out.
Outside the house was a long and narrow alley. The man hurriedly ran forward along the shadows of the surrounding areas. Not far away, he suddenly stopped. He seemed to have discovered something was wrong. He wanted to turn back, but it was already too late.
.Two black figures around him suddenly rushed forward, knocked him to the ground, and then pressed him firmly on the ground. Immediately, more people rushed up, including the presser's hand, the presser's foot, and others.
A foot stepped on his face, making him unable to scream. He coughed loudly and found it difficult to even breathe...
……_(:з ∠)_……
In places like the Western Regions, there is less rain and drought, and the surface layer of the land is mostly made of loess, which is very suitable for digging holes. Just like a karez, as long as it is well maintained, it will not collapse despite thousands of years of wind and frost.
The question is whether holes like karez are beneficial, but other holes...
If Xihai City had not been built for a short time, it is impossible to say that in a few years, large and small holes in Xihai City could be connected to fight tunnel battles!
Taishi Ci gave Liu Min an order to thoroughly investigate the "rat infestation" in the city, but he did not expect to catch more than one nest of rats!
Just when Liu Min and his men were arresting Yang Shizi, the scouts Ye Bushou and others who were wandering outside the city also caught many groundhogs that were alarmed and ran away!
When Taishi Ci received the report from his subordinates, he simply didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. If we use this as a comparison, the people in Guan Er are pretty good, and if these prairie dogs hidden inside are usually
One day Xihai City will really be besieged. I don’t know how the city defenses were broken by then!
At this time, Taishi Ci became more and more aware of the difficulties in the Western Regions mentioned by General Fei Qian of the Cavalry.
There are no friends here, all are enemies.
Even if he is prostrate at his feet, he is still poaching the Han family.
Do you rely on killing to rule the Western Region?
The Han Dynasty, which lasted for three to four hundred years, had successive generations of Western Region Protectors. If all the Western Regions people were killed were stacked up, the height would probably be higher than the Tianshan Mountains! At least ten Western Region states were destroyed, and how many royal families were slaughtered.
Ten, and countless small tribes and so on. When the Han Dynasty was strong, his murderous intent was not bad, and then what happened?
Historically, not only was the Han Dynasty very murderous, but the Tang Dynasty was also very murderous towards the Western Regions. When the Tang Dynasty controlled the Western Regions, it was no joke that thousands of miles of no-man's land was a joke, but in the reports of victory in the Tang Dynasty's foreign campaigns, there was a "
If the character is broken, then the opponent will basically end up with a river of blood and a mountainous view.
Only those who surrendered without seeing blood at the beginning would make those bloodthirsty generals in the Tang Dynasty lick their lips and sigh with deep regret...
But after hundreds of years of killing, the Chinese and the barbarians from the Western Regions fought each other, and countless people died on this piece of land. Then did the Western Regions really completely surrender to the Chinese?
In the Western Regions of later generations, there are still a small number of people in the Western Regions who eat vegetables supplied by China, use items made by China, wear clothes made by China, and then curse and mutter something like "alalalala".
The Western Regions will always be the Western Regions and have nothing to do with China.
This is completely different from Asan's territory.
Is there anyone killing anyone over there?
Of course there is, otherwise the Asan natives would not have been reduced to the lowest level, and they would not be able to stand up in future generations. However, in the Asan territory, in addition to killing people, there is another very important factor, which is the religious system and spirituality.
Only through the suppression of the people in later generations did Ah San develop the so-called non-resistance method, and the lower-class self-consciousness that could not be changed even after leaving Ah San's territory...
Although violence is also a kind of beauty to a certain extent, China should not only have the beauty of violence.
The sky is getting brighter and the hustle and bustle of the night is about to pass.
Rats and rats, big and small, were caught and killed, but those who were lucky enough to survive were in agony, struggling between talking or not.
The ordinary people in Xihai City opened their eyes in confusion. Many people did not even know what happened last night. For them, a generation was too far away, and they could only think about the things in front of them.
Some people say, "One generation can only do what one generation can do."
At first glance, it seems reasonable, but...
In fact, the people who have the deepest feelings about this sentence are none other than Li Jianghu and Guang Touqiang. What’s interesting is that these two people also use this sentence to laugh at others, thinking that their words are golden words and a sign of understanding.
Reality is to deal with the present.
If you think about it at best, this sentence is called deep twilight energy. If you think about it more, the person who said this sentence has evil intentions.
Because the hidden meaning of this sentence is "Your generation will never succeed", "Wait until you die and talk about it in the next life", "After I die, I won't care about the flood"...
The key is that there are still people following behind, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Fortunately, there is another saying in China, "If you don't plan for the eternal world, you can't plan for a moment; if you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region."
Fortunately, not everyone is a fool and believes in the so-called "one generation" nonsense.
More people are cautious about the present and focus on the future.
Only in this way can we have Chinese inheritance that will last forever.
Just like here in the Western Regions, Taishi Ci must consider the future of the Western Regions, because he took over the responsibility of the Western Regions Protector from Fei Qian, instead of just doing the things in front of him and doing this generation well.
Done.
Killing these marmots and thieves is naturally not merciful, and it is not very complicated, but what should be done after killing, and plans for a few years, decades, or a hundred years later, this is what Taishi Ci believes that he and himself
The biggest difference between Lu Bu and Lu Bu was Tai Shici. He felt that if he were like Lu Bu and just killed and didn't care about anything after the killing, he would inevitably become the second Lu Bu and there would be no changes in the Western Regions.
As the sun rises, its brilliant light shines on Xihai City, driving away all the shadows and ghosts from last night.
Taishi Ci thought about it for a long time. He felt that he seemed to have some ideas, but it was just an idea and no specific strategy had been formed yet, so he planned to wait for Fei Qian to reach the West Sea and then ask Fei Qian for advice.
, but before discussing the subsequent governance rules and methods of the Western Region, Taishi Ci decided to kill those Wusun people first, so that Xihai City would be less of a threat...
