Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 621 Territory Expansion
"Sir, he's much thinner than the last time we met!" Chu Nan laughed while looking at Jia Xu in front of the prime minister's office.

About a year ago, after Lu Bu sent troops to crusade against Bailang Mountain, the four northern schools were removed by Chu Nan and the third school was removed. Xu Huang was appointed as the prefect of Nanyang, and Zhang Xiu took over Nanyang. As the governor of Xiliang, Zhao Yun was promoted to the governor of the Western Regions and went to the Western Regions.

Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu were recalled to the court. Zhang Xiu was temporarily appointed as Zhonglang General. He was responsible for training recruits and maintaining law and order in Xuchang area. During Nan's absence, he was responsible for handling various government affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In addition, the newly recruited Xu Shu was in charge of recruiting affairs. When Chu Nan left Xuchang, the two of them were mainly responsible for the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In addition, Guo Jia's position as the director of the Xiangfu can be ignored. When there is something that needs him to do, Xu Shu will go to the brothel to pull him out.

Xu Shu from the household department also served concurrently. In the past three years, Xu Shu, who hadn't seen Chu Nan a few times, became the busiest person in the prime minister's house.

"The Prime Minister is not here, so I will naturally be much more busy. Now that the Prime Minister is back, it is really a happy event, and I can rest in peace for a few days." Jia Xu smiled and drank the tribute wine sent by the Western Regions. , has its own set of operating mechanisms, and can't go anywhere if it's busy, but compared to when it was in Nanyang, Jia Xu's workload today is already very high.

"Mr. has lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, and now the situation in the world should be understood. I want to go south, but I don't know what you think?" Chu Nan looked at Jia Xu and asked with a smile.

He roamed the world for three years, but the land of the Central Plains was resting and recuperating, especially after the Hu people in the north were wiped out by Lu Bu, the Han Dynasty entered a rare period of peace, and all places were recuperating, and there were few wars, even in Jingzhou and Jiangdong. Invasions are basically small-scale battles.

Now that Chu Nan is still in court, the world has been at peace for three years, and Chu Nan feels that it is time to end the troubled times and bring the world back to unity.

"The prime minister has stabilized the people's livelihood in the past three years, consolidated the foundation, attacked the barbarians in the north, and cultivated a benevolent government internally. Under the rule of the Central Plains, the people's livelihood is prosperous and all industries are prosperous. It is true that the world is wiped out. If you want to conquer the south and sweep the world, with the current national strength, There is nothing you can do." Jia Xu smiled.

"Sir, don't just say half of what you say." Chu Nan looked at him and said helplessly.

"At this time, the Southern Expedition is naturally feasible, but I see that Liu Biao in Jingzhou is about to die. According to the news from Xiangyang, Liu Jingsheng is now weak and has been lying in front of the bed for a long time. He fears that he will die soon. If Liu Jingsheng dies and takes back Jingzhou in the name of the court, it will be The trend of righteousness, attacking at this time, naturally does not lose the righteousness, but the prime minister has not commanded an army for three years, and it will take time for the generals to dispatch. In my humble opinion, we can prepare for war first. Once there is a change in Jingzhou, we will send troops to Jingzhou immediately. Taking Jingzhou is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand!"

Chu Nan nodded silently. He didn't intend to send troops immediately, but this is the battle for Nanzheng to rule the world. In history, Boss Cao Chibi was defeated and missed the opportunity to rule the world. Only then did the three kingdoms come together. , there may be no Three Kingdoms.

"That's right, it's always better to be more prepared." Chu Nan said with a smile: "These days, Wenhe and Yuanzhi have worked hard, and we should go back and rest, and make a decision after discussing matters in the prime minister's residence tomorrow."

"I'll take my leave." Jia Xu and Xu Shu got up and bowed to Chu Nan.

"Father-in-law hasn't come back yet?" After sending the two away, Chu Nanan looked at Zhou Cang beside him. In the battle of Bailang Mountain, Lu Bu defeated Karasuma, and the three kings of Karasuma all died. After fighting enough, he chased all the way to Beihai. Now that Chu Nan has traveled all over the six states and returned, Lu Bu has not yet returned, which makes Chu Nan somewhat worried.

"I've already asked. The general sent a letter back from the extreme north a few months ago, saying that he met many barbarians there. After crossing the extreme north, there is still heaven and earth. The general wants to explore it before returning. North Korea." Zhou Cang shook his head.

Farther north?
Chu Nan looked at Da Khan's map, and couldn't find that area on the map, but she knew where it was.

"Order the Ministry of War to draw a detailed map as soon as possible. After this battle, our territory may expand again." Chu Nan asked Zhou Cang to send an order to the Ministry of War.

"Prime Minister." Xu Shu went back and forth, returned to the main hall, and bowed to Chu Nan.

"What else is there for Yuan Zhi?" Chu Nan motioned Xu Shu to sit down, looked at Xu Shu and asked.

"The Protectorate of the Western Regions has just sent back an urgent document. General Zilong wants to move the Protectorate of the Western Regions to Dawan. He also said that there is a large piece of fertile land in the north of Dawan. Wangui Shuangcheng is also beneficial to the trade between East and West."

"Guishan City?" Chu Nan spread out the map. Guishan City is located in the extreme north of the Western Regions, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and belongs to the territory of Dawan in the past. After Zhao Yun entered the Western Regions, he fought several battles. The Protectorate of the Western Regions moved to Jiaohe City. In the past, the morale of the Han Dynasty was at its peak, and the captain of the Western Regions was here. Later, the Han Dynasty began to decline, making this place deserted.

Then Zhao Yun started to set up counties in the Western Regions. He didn't force it, but just conveyed this meaning to the countries in the Western Regions. In half a year, 23 small countries were willing to join the big Han.

The smallest country among them is said to have a population of less than a hundred people and less than five soldiers. After learning that the big man was willing to accept the Western Regions, he chose to join it almost immediately.

Over the next year or so, business between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions became more and more frequent, and the Nine Secrets of the Royal Army's Fengzi Secret was popularized among the people, and a large number of caravans traveled to the Western Regions at an accelerated speed. In the past, it might take two or three years to go there, but now the journey takes very little time. Often one day can cover the distance of ten days, and if you meet some capable people, you may be able to cover the distance of fifteen days in one day, which in disguise is equivalent to shortening the distance between the Western Regions and the great man.

Later, Kangju, Wusun, and Dawan realized that the great Han intended to annex the Western Regions, and wanted to join forces to expel the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but Zhao Yun led [-] soldiers by the Zhenhe River, defeated the enemy by [-] and defeated the enemy by [-], creating an undefeated record in the Western Regions According to the myth, two months ago, they invaded the noble mountain city of Dawan, beheaded the royal family of Dawan, and took all the land of Dawan.

But it was also the capture of Dawan that allowed Zhao Yun to see the vast territory to the west of Dawan. In the past, these places only existed in historical records. The road that Zhang Qian traveled when he went out of the fortress, but now he can actually see it. The feelings seen in history books and reality are completely different.

The reason why Zhao Yun wanted to establish the Protectorate of the Western Regions in Dawan was not only to protect trade routes, but also to prevent other countries from invading. After all, to the west of Dawan, there are four major countries: Guishuang, Anxi, and Rome. Difference.

There was no battle for the time being, and Zhao Yun didn't know the details of the opponent. That's why Zhao Yun wanted to move the Protectorate of the Western Regions here. Once the enemy came to fight, even if Dawan couldn't hold it, the thousands of miles of yellow sand in the Western Regions would be enough to serve as a deep place for a big man.

"The world has not yet been unified, and the territory has expanded a lot!" Chu Nan looked at the map. He didn't plan to go to the Western Region for the time being. Although the area is vast, its population may not be as large as that of a county in the Central Plains, and most of it is sandy land with less rainfall. If you can't keep up, it's useless to improve the ley lines.

Xu Shu nodded. After entering the prime minister's mansion, only by focusing on the overall situation can he see clearly the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in the world under the governance of Chu Nan in these years.

"Sure." After a while, Chu Nan nodded and said: "Also tell Zilong that it is not easy to expand again now, and the people's livelihood in the Western Regions will be the main focus. In two years, a state will be established in the Western Regions. In order to facilitate people's exchanges, from now on, to promote Education is the main thing."

Although Zhao Yun is not the kind of person who is greedy for merit, and Chu Nan also gave Zhao Yun a strategy to sit in the Western Regions when he parted, he was still worried that Zhao Yun would fight outside again.

The wider the territory, the better. At least for now, after the entire Western Region is included, there will be many problems that need to be dealt with urgently, such as the appointment of officials, how to communicate with each other, and so on. They are thousands of miles away, and this is not the normal Three Kingdoms. The generals who use Fengzi secrets can still go back and forth between Dawan and the Central Plains in January. In terms of historical time and space, winning the Western Regions would be a burden for the Central Plains court. Not to mention increasing the cost of governing, if something major happened in the Western Regions, The big man didn't have time to prepare.

In addition, there is also the territory that Lu Bu won, which made Chu Nan hesitate, whether to want Wanli Grassland, and if so, how to manage it?This is a big problem.

"Here!" Xu Shu bowed and left after hearing the words.

"My lord, if you count the defenses laid down by the generals in the Western Regions, how big is our territory now?" After Xu Shu left, Zhou Cang asked curiously.

Chu Nan came to the map, looked at the map of the Han Dynasty, thought for a while, and drew a pen to outline the approximate scope of the grassland and the scope of the Western Regions.

With the addition of these places, the territory of Dahan can be doubled.

"It's too big." Zhou Cang looked at the range in amazement and exclaimed.

"What's the use of being big? If there is no population, no matter how big the territory is, it's meaningless." Chu Nan sighed: "What we should do now is not to expand the territory, but to make something convenient for communication as soon as possible. Communication alone is a problem, such a long distance, it is not easy for pigeons and eagles."

It's okay for Feige to send letters for hundreds of miles, but for thousands of miles, the risk of losing the letter will increase exponentially. If it's tens of thousands of miles, he is worried that Feige will die of exhaustion on the way.

Even if they are not exhausted, the natural enemies of flying pigeons are all over the sky, and it is not surprising that they are eaten by eagles and eagles.

He had talked to Liu Ye about his idea about this aspect before, and he didn't know if he could make something similar to a phone because of his unique ability to cooperate with Liu Ye's organ skills. It would be best to be wireless. The connection is all based on the premise that Zhao Yun is loyal to himself.

Once the guardians of the Western Regions have two hearts and separate the Western Regions, it will be really troublesome for Chu Nan to conquer, and the transportation of food and grass alone will be a big problem.

Zhou Cang obviously couldn't give Chu Nan a reasonable solution, otherwise Chu Nan wouldn't have a headache, so he could only stand aside and think hard.

"Don't think too much, it's not suitable for you, let's go, it's time to go home!" Chu Nan patted him, indicating that it's time to go, just returned to Xuchang, it's work, he is really a good boss.

The dragon energy in his body was boiling, and Chu Nan could feel the feeling that the dragon energy wanted to come out, but it was suppressed by him. There was not much luck belonging to the big man in the sky. He was really worried that once his dragon energy came out, he would directly kill the big man Luck is gone...
