The situation in the Western Regions is definitely a bad debt, take Lanzhou at your feet as an example, there are Han people, Tubo people, party people, and even Qiang people, and there will be Shatuo people, but they don't dare to speak out.

In the past, they fought each other and deceived each other, and this kind of thing will definitely not be less.

Just from the territory of the Guiyi Army, it can be seen that they once owned eleven states, but now there are only two states left, and the population is only a pitiful 300,000.

Chai Rong didn't have the heart to break the lawsuit for them, and the enemy was not allowed to waste his energy.

"Don't make any noise!"

In a word, all three parties obediently shut up and waited for His Majesty the Emperor's fate.

"I can see that you are all loyal ministers of the Great Zhou, and you are not busy with the marriage, and the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the entry of the big cannibals...... If you want to march westward, what do you think is the top priority? ”

Li Guangrui immediately said: "Your Majesty, the so-called army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first." The immediate priority was naturally to transport grain to the Western Regions. ”

"That's right, if you want to transport grain and grass, you have to build roads." Chai Rong said: "I have decreed the construction of the Shu Road, in order to transport the grain of Bashu and support the western expedition. Now I need to build a road from Jingzhao Mansion to the Western Regions, this is a key road thousands of miles long, it must be repaired as soon as possible, this is my request to you, and it is also my test, as for how to build the road, you can discuss it with the champion Hou! ”

After speaking, Chai Rong patted his ass and left, His Majesty the Emperor will always set the general direction, and what to do will naturally be handed over to others to be responsible.

In an instant, the six eyes of the three people all fell on Ye Hua.

Ye Hua was full of anger, Chai Rong was really not authentic, he was too lazy.

There was no way, Ye Hua could only deal with three people.

"Master Hou, what does Your Majesty mean?" Lee Guangrui was the first to ask.

"Your Majesty's meaning is very simple, that is, whoever of you contributes the most will have the opportunity to marry the King of Shang, and whoever will become the most important confidant of the Great Zhou."

The three of them looked at each other, it's terrible, it's so difficult to get married, not only to have a rich dowry, but also to do things for Da Zhou, what is the reason?

Dare to love our princess baby, the pearl in the palm of your hand, so worthless?

Of course, this thought only dared to flicker once, and then immediately threw it out of the clouds.

They know too well that marrying the king of Shang is by no means a simple marriage, the Great Zhou Dynasty entered the Western Regions, thousands of miles of territory, so many interests, how to distribute them, who has more and who has less, it all depends on this time!

"Master Hou, our party is willing to go all out, but we don't know how to build roads!" Lee scratched his head.

The representative of the Guiyi Army laughed, "Master Hou, we are good at it, we are willing to share more!" ”

The old monk also shouted: "The road is built to help Khotan, and we have no shirk of our duty!" ”

They all scrambled, but Ye Hua waved his hand, "This road is thousands of miles away, and it must be completed by the cooperation of the big guys." In this way, the road is divided into four sections. ”

Ye Hua took the map and explained it to them.

From Jingzhao Governor Chang'an City to Lanzhou, Da Zhou is in charge, not long ago, Chai Rong has issued an edict to transfer Zhao Pu, the secretary of the military department, to supervise the repair of the road.

This time the road repair is different from the Shu Road, Chai Rong directly ordered to mobilize the Xiang army in the northwest, regardless of the cost, with the fastest speed, in accordance with the military's standards to build the road.

Zhao Pu's ability does not need to be doubted, this guy is ruthless, and Zhang Xun is not enough to see at all.

"From Lanzhou to Ganzhou, this section will be handed over to the party side, then the section of Guazhou in Shazhou will be handed over to the Guiyi Army, and the remaining section, leading to Khotan, will be responsible for the Khotanese side."

Ye Hua said: "The gunpowder, cement, craftsmen, and Da Zhou can all provide the gunpowder, cement, and craftsmen needed to build the road, but you must come out with the labor needed!" ”

"I'm out!"

Li Guangrui happily agreed, "Master Hou, our party will give 100,000 people. ”

As soon as he said this, the Guiyi Army would not do it, and it would not be possible to take out 100,000 people if they were killed!

No, you can't take out the party item!

"Master Li, your party is only tens of thousands of young and strong, could it be that you are going to send the old and weak women and children up?"

Faced with questioning, Li Guangrui rolled his eyes and sneered: "What do you care about me, 100,000 people are 100,000 people, and no one will be less!" I do what I say! ”

Khotan is also very difficult, although they have more manpower than the Guiyi army, but now they have to prepare for war and build Khotanese City, they really can't draw so much!

Li Guangrui is complacent, you can't do it, you are compared to Lao Tzu, and you still don't admit defeat, when will you stay? He wanted to laugh three times!

Ye Hua suddenly said faintly: "General Li, are you going to capture the Tibetans or the Hurs?" ”

His mind was punctured all of a sudden, and Li Guangrui smiled and said: "Actually, you can also catch Khitans!" ”

Ye Hua said with a smile: "In this way, your party is not good at engineering, I will arrange manpower to build roads, you just have to capture prisoners!" Start with 100,000, the more the merrier! ”

Ye Hua paused, and then said: "I have some armor weapons here in Da Zhou, if you need to, you can exchange them for prisoners, what does General Li think?" ”

Li Guangrui smiled and nodded again and again.

Look, follow Da Zhou, and the benefits will come!

The party can also make iron, but their technology is backward and the cost is too high.

Take the armor in the army as an example, it is passed down from generation to generation, and if it is broken, add a few iron leaves to make up for it, almost more than eighty percent of the armor is handed down from the Tang Dynasty, and it can be used as cultural relics.

He has long coveted the plate armor of Da Zhou, which is light, strong, beautiful, and strong...... The most important thing is that the Great Zhou Dynasty made armor, just like playing, recruits who have been in the army for more than one year can wear armor.

What's especially annoying is that the musketeers have abandoned their armor, and they think it's too heavy, grandma's, we don't want it yet!

"Master Hou, of course we are willing to change, but can we ...... it a little" Li Guangrui didn't say any more.

Ye Hua laughed, "It's all my own family, that's what I said, just what it means, eighty percent of the new armor in the army, three young and strong prisoners, and other swords and weapons, I will sell them to you by weight." ”

"Oops!"

Li Guangrui almost jumped up, he had long known that Da Zhou was arrogant, but he didn't expect that there was no reason for him!

"Master Hou, please rest assured, I will mobilize troops and horses now, pursue the remnants of the Tubo army, and capture the prisoners!"

Li Guangruixing left in a hurry, even if there was no family affair, this business would not lose money. He seems to be able to see that his subordinates are all equipped with armor and 100,000 iron horsemen.

Guiyi Army and Khotan are a little dumbfounded, this is not so good, let the party members eat a piece of fat first, Li Guangrui, this guy is full of oil!

"Master Hou, we, what should we do?"

Ye Hua smiled indifferently, "Everyone is their own person, and Benjue will not treat you badly, but you should also show a little sincerity...... There is a battlefield in Khotan, I won't talk about it, the performance of the Guiyi Army makes Ben Jue very unimpressed! ”

Ye Hua's face suddenly sank, and he reprimanded: "Over the years, you have not stopped fighting, lost so many lands and people, and even came to present the book map of the eleven states, Li Guangrui doesn't say it, I am ashamed of you!" Also, in order to survive, you married the Uighurs, married the Tibetans, and tried to submit to the party, is this something you can do? ”

Facing Ye Hua's reprimand, the old man's face darkened.

Fortunately, Ye Hua's words changed, "Of course, I know that you are difficult, and I can't help but be harsh on my own people, I will arrange a military advisory group to go to Shazhou to help you organize the army, and guide you to train and build roads, in short, you must be self-reliant and self-reliant, the saint has the world in mind, and the people are all the people of the saint." As long as you are sincerely loyal, the saint will not treat anyone badly. ”

After saying this, Ye Hua asked them to go down and pass the news back to China as soon as possible.

After Ye Hua explained, he went to see Chai Rong again and explained the matter in general.

Chai Rong laughed, "There are hits and pulls, there are hard and soft, you can retract and release freely, Ye Qing, your current methods are much more clever!" ”

Ye Hua said with a smile: "The minister's calculation is not for His Majesty to see through at a glance!" Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can select 300 people from the party departments to serve as the prince's guards, what does your majesty think? ”

"Oh!" Chai Rong took a breath, thought about it, and said slowly: "The emperor will be ten years old soon, and he should also learn to train and fight, and pick people from the party, this method is good, remember to pick young people, and send Mr. to them, and educate them well!" ”

Ye Hua, a person with a heart and an eye, will not make mistakes easily.

Even if the emperor trusts you, even if the prince treats him as a teacher, you can't really be arrogant, and you feel that it's okay to do anything, no matter who Guo Xingge marries, the strength of the king of Shang will increase.

At this time, if you don't give the prince a little benefit, it will be easy to leave a rift.

And Li Guangrui is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he went to Brother Xing's side, maybe he had something in mind. Ye Hua simply gave the party a knife and divided part of the strength.

These party members left the northwest and arrived in the capital, their eyes were black, and they could only follow the prince honestly, just to prevent the civil and military forces in the court from leaning towards the prince...... All in all, it's a trick that definitely kills multiple birds with one stone.

The world of adults is too complicated, and Guo Xingge's world is relatively simple, and all he thinks about is how to defend Khotan City.

A lot of artillery has been built, but the rate of fire of artillery is still too sad.

There has to be a more efficient weapon.

After many days of hard thinking, Guo Xingge found that the most in Khotan was fire oil, which was even more powerful than gunpowder...... The little guy decided to design a new weapon.

He first made an oil tank, filled it with oil, which was then drawn out with a conduit, and then added a manual air pump, so that the oil could be pumped out of the tank and then sprayed out using atmospheric pressure......

Guo Xingge kept experimenting, and his body was covered with black oil, like a little ghost.

In the distance, the two little princesses stretched out their heads and looked at it, and their hearts were cold, and eighty percent of their lives were going to be over!

At this moment, a craftsman smiled and sent the finished nozzle, Guo Xingge immediately happily pumped up the fire oil and sprayed it out, when the flame passed through the nozzle, suddenly a fire dragon rushed out, ten zhang away, a weed, was engulfed in fire in an instant...... The two little princesses were directly frightened and sat on the ground!
