Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 438 Expedition Planning
Originally, the brothers were very happy to receive the big reward. They had survived all the way from the bottom to now, and finally got through to the top.

Next is the time to enjoy the blessings, while continuing to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty.

Although it is not at the level of the Four Expeditions, they basically do not need to go out to fight often.

In the next few years, I can settle down and train my cubs.

In the past few years when they went out to fight, these guys have all become monkeys, and they are still at the level of monkey kings.

But the youngest among the brothers, and also the most promising, is no longer satisfied with being a big man, and plans to go on an expedition outside the region.

The mood is a bit complicated: on the one hand, it is clear that Zhang He leaving is the best choice, but on the other hand, he is confused as to why it is like this.

In the end, I felt a little ashamed. Compared with Zhang He, I was too unenterprising.

"How about I find a place to go on an expedition?" Zhang Fei took the four brothers to drink. After drinking too much, the younger brother asked.

"We are the only two people in the Zhang family in Zhuo County who are doing well. If I go to a foreign country to be crowned king, if my brother doesn't stay, who will be the one in the Zhang family in Zhuo County to carry the tripod?" Zhang He retorted, "Besides, the eldest brother deliberately appointed his brother to be the governor of Zhenxi. General, brother, you still don’t understand why?”

Currently, General Zhenxi is the supreme commander of the westward advance, which means that the speed of the westward advance is decided by Zhang Fei.

Obviously, there is no need for Zhang Fei to move west quickly, which may affect the speed of promotion. This is the price.

If one member of the Zhang family is granted the title of king outside the territory, the promotion speed of the other member will be reduced.

But having said that, attacking to the west is not only attacking towards the Western Regions, but also attacking towards the Qiang land, that is, the plateau.

Tian Yu has already begun to enter the Qiang land to get used to the altitude there.

When Tian Yu advances further, Le Jin will follow and completely occupy the entire plateau. The court estimates that it will take ten years.

This period of time also gave Zhang He time to advance quickly and establish a kingdom.

"If you are entering the plateau..." Zhang He took out the map, "It is also a good choice to enter the Indian plains from here. You can go all the way to the east near Nanzhong. If this road is opened, then there will be a Southern Silk Road in the future. road."

Speaking of the Silk Road in the past, it seemed that it only went to Dawan, and did not even reach the Yuezhi Kingdom.

It is said that in this period, there is no Yuezhi Kingdom anymore, except for the Western Regions, there are Dawan, Wusun and Kangju Kingdom.

Continuing to the west is the Kushan Empire.

As for the Indian plains, there are basically various tribes and there is no unified political power.

Zhang He prefers heading east than heading west.

The three northeastern provinces have great potential for development, and destroying Goguryeo and Japan at the same time is also a time-traveler's sentiment.

But these places are too close to the Han Dynasty. If we directly establish the country, I am afraid that some people will not be able to sleep.

To put it bluntly, giving the imperial court a target to attack would also allow it to focus less on the Western Regions.

As for the south, it is estimated that the imperial court will not have the idea of ​​​​continuing to expand southward until Jiangnan is fully developed.

Especially if we continue to go south, sea ships will have to be built in large numbers.

Even if a lot of naval forces are recruited, it will take a lot of time to transform from a naval force into a navy. It will probably not go south in five to ten years.

"I see, we can still go this way!" Zhang Fei thought thoughtfully and followed this route.

They can definitely conquer the Indian plains within 20 years, and then gradually move the Han people there.

"No, Dadao, aren't you going to occupy this Indian plain?" Zhang Fei suddenly thought of something.

"This place is too close to the Han Dynasty, so there is not much point in occupying it." Zhang He replied, "I plan to help Dawan and Guishuang destroy Kangju State and Wusun, and form an alliance with the two countries. Then we will go all the way west to defeat Dashi. , use this place as a springboard to attack Da Qin."

With the Dawan and Kushan empires as buffers, when the Han Dynasty expanded outward, it would first face these two forces, and then its own kingdom, so that it would have enough time to react.

Even if he is gone, his descendants can still use these two forces to make friends with the Han or declare war.

In Zhang He's view, this was the best outcome, just like the military buffer zone between China and Maozi in later generations.

If a war really breaks out, it will probably start over there. Anyway, the fire of war won't burn down your own home.

"I see..." The three brothers looked at the map thoughtfully, and Zhang He was explaining his ideas for founding the country.

In fact, this is also a good reference for the three of them.

If you want to be crowned king outside the territory in the future, you have an idea on what to do.

Of course, there is a high probability that the three of them will not need to be crowned kings outside the territory.

"Dadao, will you come back?" Guan Yu asked.

"It's so exciting outside and the world is so big. It takes time to fight and build. How can we still have time to come back?" Zhang He shook his head. "I'll just write letters back regularly and bring back some local specialties." Zhang He shook his head. The Chamber of Commerce is still in China, continuously providing him with supplies and even recruiting people.

By then, at least two children will be left in Dahan.

Zhang Heng is Liu Bei's son-in-law, so he naturally wants to stay. He is considered a representative of Zhang He's lineage and is developing in China.

Another child is left to take over the Zhang Chamber of Commerce in the future.

Before that, the Chamber of Commerce was temporarily handed over to Zhang Fei's management.

As expected, Zhang Fei's youngest son, Zhang Bo, will probably be responsible for the management of the Chamber of Commerce.

It would be better to say that among the second generation, there must be someone who accepts this matter, even if it means sacrificing something.

For example, autonomy, childhood dreams, the opportunity to serve as an official...

Zhang He currently has six sons, so leaving two behind is nothing.

It was also a precaution, in case one person was really that bad and the whole army was wiped out during the Western Expedition, at least there was still blood left.

"Drink and don't talk about those boring things!" Zhang Fei shouted.

According to Zhang He's intention, after setting off next year, there will be basically no chance to meet each other. It's uncomfortable to think about it.

Guan Yu and Tai Shi Ci had the same idea. They were in a bad mood and resorted to drinking to drown their sorrows. In the end, the two brothers were drunk.

"Hiccup~~Dadao... Sometimes I feel that it's not a good thing to get drunk easily..." Zhang Fei burped and said slightly dissatisfied.

Since Zhang He solved his physical problem, he is less likely to get drunk when he drinks, and he can maintain a certain level of sobriety even when drunk.

In this way, it's less likely to make mistakes, and you won't get drunk and hit people wildly.

The problem is that it’s not easy when you want to get drunk.

When people drink, sometimes they don’t just want to get drunk because of how delicious the wine is.

"Brother, are you planning to get drunk on purpose and then beat me up like crazy?" Zhang He retorted.

"No, no, even if you're not drunk, I can beat you up." Zhang Fei took action directly, "You are so unjust to this kid, you actually want to walk away. It's rare for me to have a younger brother, and for just ten years, my younger brother became another It’s gone!”

"I'm just going on an expedition, not where I'm going. In the future, if my brother begs for his remains, he can leave the matter to the next generation and come to my place to gather together. Besides, you still have two nephews to take care of, right?" Zhang He said with a smile.

"You're already begging for bones, how old do you have to be? If I go to your place, will I still have a chance to come back?" Zhang Fei retorted.

People beg for bones so that fallen leaves can return to their roots. Are you going to let your brother die in a foreign land?
Of course, he didn't say this.

"Anywhere, a place with family is home, it's the same everywhere." Zhang He replied.

Not to mention far away, how many wealthy families in the Han Dynasty served in local places and then took root here?

Huang Xiang's son Huang Zan, also known as Huang Zilian, became the governor of Nanyang and developed the Nanyang Huang family in Nanyang. Later, another branch went to live in Lingling and became the Lingling Huang family.

Therefore, Huang Zhong and Huang Gai were actually brothers according to their genealogy, and both came from Huang Zilian's lineage.

If he goes on an expedition outside the territory, he will naturally develop the Zhang family lineage outside the territory, and those who follow him will naturally take root there.

From now on, the Zhang family in Zhuo County will be the direct line, and the Zhang family outside the territory will be the collateral line. It may also be the other way around after a few years...

So when the fallen leaves return to their roots, there is no need to be so stuck. Where the family is, they are also roots!
　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!

　　There is a saying that during the Spring Festival, there are more old people who go to their children to celebrate the Spring Festival and have bad luck with the Spring Festival.

　　In fact, I personally feel that the place where a family is is its root. There is no need to say where your home is or where your ancestors are buried...

　　Let’s just say that now, the older generation still sweeps graves, and fewer people born in the [-]s do so.The new generation will probably send their old people to the cemetery. After all, there are not so many hills for you to bury.

　　If we continue, cemeteries are too expensive, so we might just plant trees or scatter them in the sea...

　　The cemetery and tombstones are gone, so how can we offer sacrifices?In addition, family ties are so weak nowadays, and relatives may not be able to get together. One day, for ordinary people, the place where family is is their root, and there is no need to be so stuck.

　　I have to say that times are changing, and some customs may really be gradually eliminated...

　　I can still follow my uncle to sweep the ancestral and private mountains, but I don’t have a son. My daughter may still follow me to sweep the tombs, but my grandson probably won’t go there when he grows up.

　　There are not many men in our lineage. After our generation, there won’t be many men to sweep the mountains and private mountains...

　　It's a bit regretful, and also a bit helpless, but times have changed after all.
