Chapter 915
Of course, that's what it said, but it's not that easy to be the Protector of Anbei.

Mobei is such a vast and bitterly cold place. A large number of nomadic tribes do not submit to the rule of the Great Qin. It is very difficult to manage. There are too many garrisons to support them, and there are too few garrisons to form a deterrent to the tribes.

Once something goes wrong, someone who impeaches Pang Qing is indispensable.

However, this position is also very training. If Pang Qing can sit firmly, no one will doubt his ability.

In fact, which of the four towns is better?
An Dong Duhu was to govern the various ministries of Liaodong and the powerful forces of the Three Hans.

The Annan Governor has to face Linyi and other countries, and there are still a large number of barbarians in the interior.

Not to mention the Anxi Protectorate, it bears the most pressure, directly confronting a powerful country.

If you want to seal Pingshang Shushi, you have to show your real skills.

Now Liaodong has been recovered, and Bohai and Sanhan are included in the territory. There is nothing to do in the east, so you can focus on the west.

Upon returning to Daxing, there were many discussions in the court about the failure of the Western Expedition.

In fact, most courtiers have little interest in the Western Regions.

The territory of Daqin is already big enough, so there is no need to use force.

"The world has decided that Your Majesty will conquer Liaodong first, then attack Sanhan, and then fight against Linyi Kingdom. The frequent use of troops is not conducive to the people's recuperation, and the soldiers will complain. This defeat in the Western Regions is a clear proof." Du Kuan led a group of officials to advise.

Even Lu Zhi said, "It is enough for the Great Qin to control the Western Regions, so why start another war? The land in the middle of the river is [-] miles away from Daxing. It is not enough to gain, and it is not enough to lose. The loss of the soldiers is a major matter for the country, and the new establishment of the Great Qin must be cautious."

If even Lu Zhi objects, it means that the anti-war sentiment in the country is a bit strong.

Yang Zheng patiently explained: "I conquered Liaodong and took the power of a powerful man. Ma Long's [-] partial divisions did not consume the power of the Great Qin. Linyi invaded Jiaoguang as many times as he wanted. As for Hezhong, this place was not originally Sassanian. The land is also an important town on the commercial route. If it is obtained by others, it can rule Kangju, Dawan and other countries, and threaten Shule and Xia. The countries in the Western Regions will be instigated by it, and there will be no peace. It will be a waste of time for Daqin More national power!"

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still an interest.

The Hezhong area is too fertile, suitable for farming and grazing, and it is also a place where business and trade must pass. If you don’t eat a piece of fat, it will be cheaper for others.

In this era, the Western Regions only obeyed the Central Plains Dynasty in name.

Daqin had lost a game, and if he didn't regain his position, his prestige would be questioned.

So many years of hard work in the Western Regions will also come to naught.

So no matter what, this battle must be fought, and Hezhong must be won.

"If you want to stop the war, you have to hurt them. If you beat them, they won't dare to spy on me, Daqin. If you beat them, they will fight each other when they hear the word "Daqin!" Yang Zhenglang said.

Those who love war will die, but those who forget to fight will be in danger.

This is an era full of beasts, and there must be no slack and weakness.

If there is no defeat in the river, it will be fine.

Now that he is defeated, if he retreats, others will think that Daqin is nothing more than that!
Stand up wherever you fall.

"There is no need to discuss this matter again. Hezhong will be the last territory of Daqin." Yang Zheng made the final decision.

Some things are better left alone.

This battle is not only for profit, but also for Chinese civilization to go out.

But there are some things that cannot be said, and others may not understand them.

"The minister waits to obey the order." Lu Zhi took the lead and bowed his hands, and the others could only follow.

Fortunately, Baiguan has long adapted to Yang Zheng's vigorous and resolute behavior.

You can speak freely at the court meeting, and once a decision is made, you must work together.

After the court was over, Yang Zheng explained it to Lu Zhi.

This battle is still partial, and there will be no fanfare.

In fact, Lu Zhi didn't really oppose Yang Zheng, but he was afraid that Yang Zheng would follow the path of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Yang Zheng smiled wryly in his heart. Since the establishment of the Fubing system, he will inevitably embark on the road of external expansion.

But wars aren't all bad deals.

This expedition to the west, attacking the fertile Hezhong, will definitely open their eyes.

I only hope that Lu Zhi can change his mind. Of course, after the Battle of Hezhong, Daqin will enter a stage of comprehensive recuperation.

In the Battle of the River, the performance of the government soldiers was remarkable, but it did not meet Yang Zheng's expectations. If the Chinese army came out, 7000 people should have killed the [-] Sasanian soldiers.

Last time, the Chinese army with seven or eight thousand people chased and killed them for three thousand miles, and there were no bones left from the bones of tens of thousands of people.

The Chinese army is a head higher than the Fubing in terms of combat experience and morale.

Du Yu selected [-] soldiers carefully, and more than [-] of them were sons of good families in Yongliang, who were good at riding and shooting, could read and write, and were brave and powerful.

Many of them were well-known brave young men in their villages before joining the army.

The remaining [-] or so are veterans of hundreds of battles. The imperial court originally allowed them to retire and enjoy the blessings, but these people have been fighting all the year round and have adapted to the battlefield. They have become pure fighters and are not too interested in women, official positions, and money. He only enjoys fighting.

Du Yu had a unique vision. When these 7000 people arrived in the Western Regions, they could instantly pull up an army of 6 to [-] people with the help of good families and old soldiers.

Obviously, Du Yu wanted to take over the armies of the Western Regions first.

The generals who went with them included Ma Xun, Tian Zhang, Li Te, Gou Xi, etc., which can be regarded as a gathering of stars.

On the day of the expedition, Yang Zheng and Prince Yang Xu saw him off together.

More than [-] soldiers were riding on war horses, their black armors were extraordinarily powerful, their red cloaks were fluttering in the wind, their spears were as long as a forest, and their banners were like clouds.

The faces of the young soldiers were full of excitement.

The older soldiers had a calm face, and there was an aura of disdain for the world in their calm eyes.

Yang Zheng equipped them with the best equipment.

Long spears, powerful crossbows, horses, sharp knives, one iron armor and one leather armor for each person, and sheep fur, cotton clothes, quilts and other things to keep out the cold.

In addition, there are [-] tall camels.

The camels are covered with sleeping racks, and they can take turns to rest while traveling. Some people can save their energy for long-distance marches, and they can immediately go to battle in case of emergencies.

A worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do well.

Going out to kill people, of course things must be prepared.

Under the blue sky, there was a feeling of a torrent of steel.

"The Western Regions are the future of Great Qin. Let's go here, to spread the country's prestige in the yellow sands, and to spread the king to other countries. This is the opportunity for a good man to leave his name in history! I am looking forward to the good news in Daxing."

"Daqin is invincible!" the sons of the good family roared first.

passionate.

Once upon a time, Yang Zheng was so young and so passionate, and it has been 30 years in the blink of an eye.

Du Yu, Ma Xun, Tian Zhang, Li Te, Gou Xi, etc. will immediately hand over their hands, "Your Majesty, take care, I will not disgrace the prestige of Great Qin!"

After speaking, he reined in his horse and turned around.

The drums sounded, the hooves of the horses roared, and the black iron flow went west.

Looking at their firm backs, Yang Zheng knew the final result of this battle.
