contend

Chapter 702
Not surprisingly, the integration of the Western Regions did not go smoothly.

No one is willing to give up the knife in their hands these days.

The most important thing is Yang Zheng's reputation, which makes the countries in the Western Regions feel uneasy.

In the past, it was also a long process for them to surrender to the big man. During this period, rebellions continued to be set off, and the Western Regions had three connections and three uniques.

The same is true now.

The kings of the Western Regions are not idiots either, knowing that the complete rise of the Great Qin is still short of breath.

Without solving the other two, it is impossible to focus on the Western Regions.

They employ a great strategy, drag!

The decree was procrastinated one by one, and buckled word by word.

When the two sides failed to compromise, the envoy said in broken Chinese, "Your Majesty is right, but the Western Regions have the customs and situation of the Western Regions. Your Majesty will wait a moment, and the foreign ministers will report to our lord before replying to His Majesty."

After coming and going, half a year passed.

Wei Guan had already expected these things, "Xia Guo has not gained a firm foothold, Gaochang has more than enough defense, but not enough offense."

Lu Zhi thought that Wei Guan was advocating an expedition again, so he quickly dissuaded him, "If the Central Plains are solid, the Western Regions will come naturally, so we can't sacrifice the basics for the final."

Yang Zheng didn't have the mind to go on an expedition, so it would be best if he didn't use a knife.

If you have the energy to go on an expedition to the Western Regions, it is better to launch a war of unification.

Qin State is in a critical period of accumulating national strength.

Of course, it is impossible to make an expedition of labor teachers.

What Lu Zhi said was right, when the Central Plains were unified, the Western Regions themselves would jump into the pot.

"Then have a rough time with them." Yang Zheng didn't care, as many clauses had already formed established reality.

As long as the Qin Pavilion is standing, it is equivalent to standing the archway, and time is on the side of Daqin.

Just talking about the Western Regions, Pang Qing whispered outside the door: "Your Majesty, Xuan Yi ordered Hu Yuan to report urgently."

In order to stabilize the origin of the Hu family's family education, its children are really extraordinary. Xuan Yilang, who was sent out at the beginning, Hu Yuan has made the most achievements, is capable of writing and martial arts, and is flexible in handling affairs. He was the first to propose Qin Guan.

So it was a matter of course and was promoted to a declaration of righteousness.

"What happened?"

Pang Qing only had the title of Servant and did not have the title of Ping Shang, so without Yang Zheng's permission, he could not participate in the highest-level discussions.

Pang Qing pushed the door open and entered, "Qiuci secretly contacted Dawan, and Kangju will besiege Xia Kingdom!"

The Seven Rivers Basin is considered to be one of the most fertile lands in the Western Regions, and even in the later generations of more than 700 years, it is still a land of filthy wealth.

In the past, because Wusun avoided the harassment of Xianbei in Moxi, he developed towards the Tianshan Mountains, which violated the interests of Kangju and Dawan, and the Three Kingdoms fought back and forth.

Now that this fertile land has changed to a more powerful owner, the surrounding wild wolves naturally feel sympathetic.

Plus Kucha is connected in series...

Yang Zheng remembered that Bai Huwen was from Kucha, and Bai's surname was Wang from Kucha.

Kucihu has always been the main force of the Hu people moving eastward.

Dawan is in the Fergana area, and Kangju is in the Hezhong area.

The most powerful is Kangju. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has been a big country in the Western Regions, with a vast territory and a large population.

After the younger brother Heda under his command moved westward, he defeated the thriving Sasanian Empire, then counterattacked the Western Regions, and competed with the Rouran people for Gaochang.

In short, if they are mixed and developed in the Western Regions, they will generally invade the East.

The test for Yang Yi came.

If you want to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions where there are hundreds of ethnic groups, a big battle is certainly not enough.

Yang Zheng glanced at Lu Zhi and Wei Guan, their eyes were relatively calm.

Rescue is definitely too late.

Yang Yi has an army of [-] to [-]. If he cannot stop the siege of several countries, it means that the enemy has at least [-] troops. It is impossible for Chang'an to send [-] troops to rescue Xia.

"Since he is my son, he has to go through these things."

Isn't there a famous saying in later generations that the street is bad?
To wear a crown must bear its weight.

Since he is King Xia, he must have the ability to handle crises by himself.

It is impossible for Yang Zheng to protect them for the rest of their lives.

"Your Majesty will not send troops?" Pang Qing was taken aback.

"Let Yang Yi and Yin Chun make their own decisions about the Western Regions." The [-] to [-] Qiang cavalry and government soldiers still have a certain fighting capacity, and the remaining [-] elite Longxiang Battalion, together with Yin Chun, should Can resist.

Chang'an will come to rescue at every turn, so what was the establishment of the Xia Kingdom in the first place?
Even his own son cannot shake Daqin's national policy and strategic direction.

Politics is politics, father and son are father and son.

From another perspective, just because Yang Yi is threatened, Qin's national power cannot be tilted towards him.

Lu Zhi saluted Yang Zheng.

Wei Guan twisted his beard and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. King Xia has [-] troops, and Xuanyi Division is also secretly assisting the Governor. The three kingdoms are not in harmony. How can they fight to the death? It is nothing more than the Western Regions uniting to the west of Congling It is just a temptation by the forces, in order to force His Majesty to make concessions."

Politics is a continuation of war, and war is a continuation of politics.

Yang Zheng sneered and said, "How can I give in?"

Daqin is also a big country now, and strategic determination is indispensable.

If Xia Guo can defend it, he will defend it, but if he can't, it will not be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

The national power of the Han Dynasty was so strong that it had three links and three unique skills, not to mention the current state of Qin?

As long as you don't give up the Western Regions.

The current Qin State is closely connected with the Western Regions, and it is impossible to abandon the Western Regions.

It is full of gold and melons and fruits, and it is also the place where major civilizations make progress.

You give up, and someone else will come in and become a great threat to Middle Earth.

This is the case in ancient and modern times.

"The combat power of the countries in the Western Regions is low, the Qiang cavalry are fierce, and the government soldiers are brave. They will only seek their own humiliation." Lu Zhi said lightly.

Yang Zheng nodded and said yes, "As uncle said."

"Lu Kang's defeat of Yanghu this time will at least extend the state of the Eastern Wu Dynasty for ten years. His Majesty had favored Yanghu back then, and he is nothing more than that." Wei Guan turned the topic to Jingzhou.

"A ruler is long and an inch is short." Yang Zheng smiled wryly, and could only say that each had its own strengths.

Lu Kang is good at military strategy, and Yang Hu is good at governance.

After going through this battle, I don't know whether Yang Hu will be punished by Sima Yan. After all, the [-] army did not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Of course, if Lu Kang is defeated, Yang Zheng believes that Du Yu will definitely make a move.

Jingzhou can remain in the hands of Soochow, but it cannot be taken by Jin.

Otherwise, Jiangdong will become the turtle in the urn of Jin.

Sima Yan stationed heavy troops in Xiling and guarded the Three Gorges, so he could eat Jiangdong one bite at a time.

However, the contest between Jin and Wu is not over.

Jianye reported that Sun Hao wanted to send troops to attack Shouchun, but was dissuaded by Zhong Hui.

But with Sun Hao's personality, as long as he puts his mind to it, he will never let it go.

Wu Jin should have a good show to come.

This year, Guanzhong has made great efforts, and the field tax and Tuntian Division have collected a total of 670 million shi of grain.

This was unimaginable before.

The emptiness of the treasury was greatly relieved.

There are also three major ranches that sell nearly 30 cattle and sheep.

A lot of livestock were plundered from Daijun, Henan, and Wusun, and this year can finally have a good year.

The climate has always been consistent, either a few years of severe drought, or a few years of good weather.

At the end of the first year of Huangwu, a heavy snowfall arrived as scheduled.

It also indicates that the year ahead will not be too bad.
