After Jia Huan said goodbye and left, in the study, Qi Chi slowly unfolded the map of the Western Regions, looking at the land of Beiting.

Yesterday, the deputy general Le Bai, who returned from Rouyuan City, talked to him in private: Baye Gu Xiaode, he is young, but he is very ruthless, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with. Therefore, it is recommended to quickly annihilate it after the beginning of spring. Don't give it time to grow.

Qi Chi sighed lightly: "It's a multi-pronged approach!" ”

To be fast is to be fast. But the cavalry of the Zhou army was insufficient. In winter, when recruiting new troops, due to the insufficient number of Han people, through the debate between Hu and Han, a group of Yueshi and Qiang Hu cavalry were recruited. But recruits need to be trained, revised.

The so-called Hu-Han debate is a consensus reached through debate in the Dunhuang Fuxue, County School, and Shilin: if Hu'er admires Han culture, is willing to abide by Han etiquette, speaks Chinese, wears Hanfu, and uses Chinese characters, they can be considered a part of China.

Back then, during the Han and Tang dynasties, the language of Guanzhong was official. During the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing dialect was the official language. Now, the Zhou Dynasty uses the capital as the official language. Therefore, in Huaxia, differences are allowed, but the basic norms must be observed: Chinese, Hanfu, and Chinese customs.

As the so-called: Confucius's work "Spring and Autumn" is also, the princes use Yi Li to raze it, and Yi enters China into China.

As the intelligence director, Yang Wei didn't talk much, and his eyes fell on the map.

At the beginning of spring next year, the army will set off from Guazhou and arrive in Hami. Then set off along the desert of the Turpan Basin, trek thousands of miles, and arrive at Gaochang. Crossing the Bogda Mountains to the north, you can enter the core area of Tingzhou: Jinman, Luntai, and Puzhi counties.

The route of the retreat of the ancient tribe of Baye was: starting from Hami, crossing the Zheluo Mountains to the north, entering the grasslands and deserts, and then galloping west to Tingzhou.

Zeng Jigao said bluntly: "Dashuai, Jia Ziyu is cautious, in my opinion, he will definitely be able to persuade Bahule to go to Mobei to stir up trouble." And it will definitely succeed. When it comes to figuring out people's hearts and intrigues, I am willing to bow down. ”

The difficulty of the Battle of Beiting did not lie in the capture of the three counties of Tingzhou. It is to eliminate the main force of the Hu cavalry that is wandering around in the future. Otherwise, it will be difficult to cultivate and graze in the three counties of Tingzhou. This can be a huge logistical strain.

"Haha!" Qi Chi couldn't help but look up and laugh. Jia Ziyu is a figure killed in the fierce political storm of the court!

He strongly invited Jia Huan to come to the Western Regions, and Jia Huan did not disappoint him. As soon as he arrived in Dunhuang, he created a chance to win. I hope that Jia Huan's strategy this time will also promote the rapid recovery of Beiting. He agreed with Zeng's statement. Jia Huan's personality is very calm. Since it is brought to him, there is a high probability of convincing Na Hu'er.

"Ji Gao, after the beginning of spring, we will move to Qiuzi."

Thousands of miles in the sea. Dunhuang is not suitable as a grain and grass base for the army. The distance is too far. Just like during the Battle of Beishan, Chang'an and Jiayuguan were not suitable as logistics supply places. Instead, it is necessary to use the products of the Qiuzi area as logistics, and then attack Tingzhou in Beiting. Then with the manpower and material resources of Tingzhou, conquer the entire Beiting.

Zeng Jigao nodded with a deep groan. Strategy is brewing in the chest.

…

…

After Jia Huan left the governor's palace in the middle of Guazhou City, he did not return to Dunhuang overnight, because Bahule was in the middle of Guazhou City. He brought it from Dunhuang.

In the post station in Guazhou City, the fifty generals accompanying Jia Huan went out to eat and drink and buy things in shifts. It is already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. It's the Spring Festival soon.

In the afternoon, the wind and snow in the city became more and more intense. The cold wind pierces the face.

Jia Huan came back from the street. Qian Huai, who accompanied him, carried wine and food in his hand, and went to a courtyard wing of the post station to see Bahule.

Bahule changed into a clean brown beard, his long blue hair was tied up, and he was still wearing his coquettish red turban, white jade face, and sword eyebrows and starry eyes. Boxing in the wing. Tiger and tiger.

Seeing Jia Huan appear at the door in a stone blue scribe's robe, he stopped and said with a sneer in stiff Chinese: "Isn't Lord Jia afraid that I will suddenly become troubled?" "He's a master. Ten Jia Huan are not his opponents.

Jia Huan smiled calmly, walked in with a food box, and said, "You are a smart person!" "Make an inviting gesture.

The wine and delicacies were set up on the table, and after Bahule had eaten a few cups, Jia Huan put the celadon teacup on the small round table and explained his intentions, "The princess of Wanguo in the ancient department of Baye in Mobei was seventeen years old at the time, and she looked like a moon. I intend to let you go to Mobei and ask to marry the princess of Wanguo. ”

Bahule looked at Jia Huan coldly, and his stomach was resentful. Anyone who has such an experience as him will have a grudge against the Han official in front of him. "Aren't you afraid that I will marry the princess of Wanguo and persuade the Khan of the Baye Ancient Department to send troops to attack the Western Regions?"

Jia Huan smiled lightly and said indifferently: "Just come." I welcome! ”

Bahule gritted his teeth hatefully, looked at Jia Huan provocatively, and said unruly: "What if I don't go to Mobei and run away halfway?" ”

Jia Huan glanced at Bahule and said calmly: "Have you heard of the punishment of the Ten Clans of Liyi in the Central Plains?" When I reach the Tocharian Yue Clan with the army, do you think I can't do it? ”

"You—" Bahule's eyes lit up, and suddenly his right hand clenched into a fist, and his muscles flare. He was born into the nobility of the Yue clan. has a good family background, is handsome, has high martial arts, and since he was born, he has been invincible in doing things and chasing beauties. At this moment, I am very aggrieved in my heart!

Failure in pursuing Shi is not counted, she has someone she likes in her heart.

Jia Huan smiled, got up, and said strongly: "This matter is so decided." I allow you to take your caravan to the Mobei Grassland. I will lend you 100,000 silver dollars as the first capital. I just want you to chase the princess of Wanguo. Then, you're free! Of course, I want to remind you that there are many beards in Mobei. You may not be able to fight it. ”

Bahule shouted at Jia Huan's back: "Senator Jia, you don't have to provoke. I'm sure I'll be able to marry the princess of Wanguo. However, you have to be true to your word, and don't kill the people of the Yue Clan indiscriminately. ”

Jia Huan didn't look back, stopped, his posture was straight, and he commanded, "Wait patiently for two days, and then you can go." "Then into the snow.

Sending Bahule to Mobei to stir up the situation, to be more complicated, is what Zeng Jigao analyzed. To put it simply, it is to cut off the back road of Baye Gu Xiaode.

Princess Wanguo is the back road of Baye Gu Xiaode. If he loses this back road, he is defeated, where can he escape? Mobei, he can't go back. This executioner must pay the price of blood for his slaughter!

…

…

The heavy snow did not stop until the first day of the first lunar month. Then the snow melts.

The city of Guazhou is full of the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. The wounds caused by the Great War have not yet been completely healed. But the people of this land are alive and strong!

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, in a mid-range wine shop outside Guazhou City, Qin Hongtu, Liu Yichen, and Yi Junjie sat around eating wine together, relaxing their nerves in the interval between the war. After the beginning of spring, the army will travel thousands of miles to Qiuzi.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Jia Huan invited all the children of Wendao Academy in the Western Regions Army, totaling 12 people (3 people had died in the war), to gather in Guazhou City and eat New Year's wine. I told you about it.

Yi Junjie's beard became a little fat due to his injury, and he said with emotion: "Old Qin, you are doing things with Ziyu again." We don't know when we'll have to! I think of the flood in the ninth year of Yongzhi again! ”

The flood was engraved in the hearts of all the students in the college.

Qin Hongtu was tall and black, raised his glass with a smile, and said, "Yes." "He originally worked under Le Bai's account, but was later transferred to the black-clothed Crescent Guard, and this time he was transferred to Jia Huan. The Yue's people went to Mobei to implement the beautiful man plan and the anti-intermediary plan, and he was responsible for tracking and transmitting news and intelligence.

The significance of this matter is not that he is working under Jia Huan again. Instead, Jia Huan's power in the Western Regions has been further expanded!

Currently already in charge: logistics, public opinion, acting internal affairs. This time it's a dabble in the intelligence services.

Liu Yichen shook his wine glass and said with a smile: "Lao Yi, don't think about it." Let's think about how to deal with your orchid when you go back at night! There are flowers that can be folded straight, and they must be folded, and there are no flowers and empty branches. Have fun in time! ”

There was a burst of laughter in the wine shop. Qin Hongtu and Yi Junjie raised their glasses one after another. And rightfully so!

The beginning of spring to Qiuzi. And the battle of Beiting is imminent!
