After a pause, Yu Wenxin became more confident: "In contrast, there are many Gobi deserts in the northwest, and there are excellent horse farms in the Western Regions. It is not impossible for the Turks to thrive here. The first threat they face is Murong
It’s just the Tuyuhun of the family, but judging from the previous battles of the Han Dynasty in the northwest, the current Tuyuhun has just come down from the mountain, and it is difficult to become a climate. Even if it controls Shazhou and other places, without five, six or even ten years of development, it will be difficult to fight bravely.
The Turks resisted.”
Li Xingchen asked with great interest: "Why do you say this? There should be only a few thousand remaining Turkic troops, but after all Tuyuhun has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, can't they resist the Turks?"
"Tuyuhun is indeed ambitious." Yu Wenxin obviously did not know everything about the northwest, and even had his own unique opinions. "But judging from the fact that Tuyuhun only wants Shazhou now, their ambitions are not
So big, in contrast, the Turks' greed for fertile soil, cattle and horses has never stopped, so once the Turks establish a climate in the Western Regions, Tuyuhun will only be attacked from both sides."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly. This was indeed similar to the development trajectory of Tuyuhun in history.
The reason why Tuyuhun is called Tuyuhun of the Murong family is because this country was actually founded by the Murong family who moved westward, so it is also called Ximurong. Murong is the surname of Tuyuhun. The current Tuyuhun Khan King Kua Lu's full name is
In fact, it was Murong Kua Lu. For the same reason, Shifu, who once came to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty, should be called Murong Shifu.
It's just that the name of the Murong family is too loud, and Tuyuhun was founded by the escaped Murong family, so in order to keep a low profile at the beginning, they actively married into the local Tu people and gradually diluted their surnames, so that now people are almost
Forgot the bloodline of the Murong family in the generation of King Tuyuhun Khan.
And perhaps it is precisely because of the long-term mentality of neither fighting nor grabbing, and the fact that the bitter cold plateau land does lack sufficient productivity, manpower and material resources, that Tuyuhun has been entrenched on the plateau for a long time, more like a small town in troubled times.
Transparent. However, with the decline of the Turks, Tuyuhun is also actively seeking a way forward.
Historically, Tuyuhun once occupied Hexi and the Western Regions, and even posed a threat to the Sui Dynasty's northwest expansion. However, in the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun soon turned into dust under the military front of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Li Xinchen was not worried about such an ambitious enemy, but his ambition was limited to Hexi. However, if he did not cross Tuguhun, Li Xinchen would not be able to enter the Western Regions and eventually drive away the Turks.
Li Xingchen did not expect that he could wipe out all the Turks. Facts have proved that even Li Shimin, the Khan of Heaven, could only surrender some of the Turks for his own use and drive away the rest. Now the Han Dynasty has broken mountains and rivers, and its national strength is
But it was far inferior to the Tang Dynasty that had gone through the rule of Zhenguan, so Li Xingchen was still self-aware.
"The words of the Qing family are indeed reasonable, and I can rest assured that the Han army can only reach Yumen, and even the entire Western Region," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "I wonder if the Qing family is willing to join the army of chariot and cavalry generals.
Are you planning to conquer Hexi for me?"
Li Xingchen finally revealed his purpose.
Most of these Northern Zhou generals were familiar with the terrain of the north and northwest, and knew how to use cavalry in combat. Li Xingchen did not want to throw them all into the local area, which would be a waste of resources. In contrast, let them go far away from the battlefields of the Central Plains in the north.
Competing with Tuyuhun and the Turks in the northwest is indeed a good choice.
Now Li Xingchen doesn't dare to set his sights directly on the Western Regions, but he still has the courage to take Hexi. After all, when the Han Dynasty faces Yu Wenxian head-on, there can't be Turks and Tuyuhun stabbing behind him.
Yu Wenxin looked at Li Xinchen in surprise. This was something he had never expected, because it meant that Li Xinchen would definitely give him the opportunity to lead the army.
Immediately, Yu Wenxin knelt down on one knee and held his hands in a serious tone: "I am willing to fight for your majesty, even to the death!"
Li Xinchen smiled and stretched out his hand to help him: "I believe Aiqing can help Pei Qing's family settle down in Hexi for me, and the Qing family's life will be safe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yu Wenxin's voice trembled slightly. He did not expect that just now he was worried and at a loss about his future destiny, but now happiness has come knocking on the door.
For a general, there is nothing more desirable than fighting on the battlefield and making meritorious deeds.
When Yu Wenxin thought that he might have to do nothing, how could he not be grateful to Li Xinchen for entrusting him with the task of opening up new territories?
"It just so happens that I have two good candidates here. As your lieutenants, please report to General Chariot and Cavalry tomorrow. I will explain it to Pei Qing's family." Li Xingchen said with a smile, looking back at Yang Su, "Mrs.
The Wei Mansion will draw up official positions and report them to me."
Yang Su also hurriedly cupped his hands: "I obey your order."
As for the two candidates Li Xingchen mentioned, Yang Su knew it in his mind. He probably had never expressed his allegiance to Li Xingchen, but neither He Ruobi nor Shi Wansui wanted to die generously. Obviously, these two people had been hesitating about themselves.
How to choose, but Li Xingchen seemed too lazy to give them a chance to linger, and simply handed them over to Yu Wenxin. At least with such a British man suppressing them, the two of them would not resist.
And purely in terms of ability, both Shi Wansui and He Ruobi are considered famous generals. Letting them assist Yu Wenxin can indeed be called a luxurious lineup.
I hope these people can create a world for the Han in the northwest.
Li Xinchen and Yu Wenxin chatted for a few words, and they felt that they had arrived at the gate of the Tiangong.
Li Xingchen paused. He could already hear the almost primitive cries of men and women coming from inside. Through the window that was not closed at the side, he could see a man and a woman entangled in the main hall.
"Yu Wenyun and Feng Xiaolian?" Li Xingchen frowned.
"Yes." Yu Wenxin replied hurriedly.
Only then did Li Xingchen remember that when he first entered the city, Huang Qi had asked him how Yu Wenyun and Feng Xiaolian should be distributed and resettled. Li Xingchen casually said at that time to let them go wild, at least to ensure that Yu Wenyun was alive, but he did not
I thought that Yu Wenyun really didn't know what shame was, and he was actually enjoying the pleasure of fish and water in this hall.
After just a glance, Li Xingchen had to admit that Feng Xiaolian was indeed a very attractive woman, and her fair and fair figure was also very attractive. At this time, under Yu Wenyun's thrust, Feng Xiaolian raised her head and smiled slightly.
When you close your eyes, your skin becomes flushed, like a ripe peach, making it difficult for anyone to control it.
As the victor, Li Xingchen indeed has all the rights to possess the enemy's concubines, but this woman is different from the previous Zhang Lihua, Shen Wuhua, Chen Yueyi, etc. (To be continued)
