In just three days, Wu Sicheng straightened out the backlog of intelligence work that had been backlogged for nearly a year, and this efficiency was enough to show that his ability was genuine. After finishing up, Wu Sicheng focused on two points, one was to rectify the hidden Turk spies in the country, and the other was to establish his own intelligence network in the Goryeo lands that he had already controlled in order to enforce his rule.

Wu Sicheng, like Xue Boren and others, found that the reason why this invasion caused so much harm was largely due to the role played by the spies planted by the other party. In the area governed by the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, the resistance forces of Goryeo are endless, and in the face of this unfamiliar land, the army of the Silk Country will have nothing to do without intelligence, and its actions will fall into passivity, and only by establishing a perfect intelligence system can it effectively eliminate those resistance groups and complete the rule of this new territory. Both of these things are very important and must be done immediately.

Liu Yan was very satisfied with Wu Sicheng's work efficiency, and also hoped that Wu Sicheng could give him more strategic advice based on what he had seen and heard during his trip to the Paz Empire.

Wu Sicheng immediately replied: "Actually, Wei Chen sent an envoy to the Paz Empire this time and found that we can have more strategic choices. We had been preparing for a war against the Turks, but the goal was always to defend against the enemy's combat capabilities, then attack to gain a strategic advantage, and finally attack to defeat the opponent, but in fact we could carry out other actions at the same time as this strategic step. This time, when Wei Chen passed through the countries of the Western Regions, he found that the strength of the Turks there was far weaker than we thought, in fact, Abicheril almost hit his entire strength and fought against our country. The forces left in the Western Regions are only enough to deter the nations, and if these scattered states can be united, their strength will greatly outweigh that of the Turks. Therefore, since our country needs a period of time to strengthen its intelligence work, it is just the right time to take advantage of the opportunity for the main force of Tuqi to reopen the trade routes and win over the countries of the Western Regions, so as to strengthen the connection with the Paz Empire. Cut off the control of the region from behind. ”

Liu Yan muttered: "What you say is very reasonable, but my country is now using the strength of the whole country to fight against Tuqi, and the war in Goryeo is not over yet, where can we divide the troops to open up trade routes?" ”

Wu Sicheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too worried, in fact, it is not only steel that can hit the Tuqi people. ”

These words reminded Liu Yan, and he suddenly woke up and said with a smile: "Do you mean to use gold?" ”

Wu Sicheng respectfully saluted Liu Yan's astuteness: "That's right, Your Majesty." Tukhe used force to intimidate the countries of the Western Regions, but he was unable to bring them the wealth they most wanted. Therefore, although these countries are afraid of his force and do not dare to attack, they are dissatisfied, and we just take advantage of this, and use gold to pave the way, so that we can win these countries over for our use, and if we can let them take the initiative to send troops to fight against the Turge, then we will achieve our goal without blood. ”

Liu Yan shook his head and said, "These countries will not touch themselves on the hard stone of Tuqi. ”

Wu Sicheng nodded and said, "Yes, these small countries will protect themselves." But they are all mercenary. As long as they see the situation clearly, then they will make their own choice. The power of Turchy there is only deceptively strong. The key is that someone is going to pierce that layer of paper. Your Majesty may be worried that they will not have enough strength to help them, and it will be difficult for them to make up their minds, but do not forget that both the Tibetan and Paz empires have coveted this place for a long time. ”

"But in this way, the development of our country's power there will inevitably be restricted, and at the same time, it will be more complicated to win these countries to stand on our side."

Wu Sicheng laughed and said, "Your Majesty's words seem to be correct, but they are not. Truly. This trade route contained countless riches, so both Tibet and Paz wanted to get a piece of the pie. But they are all blinded by the immediate interests, and in fact it is the countries themselves on the trade routes that want this benefit the most. What country is willing to give up this interest to others? The reason why they swallow their anger is just because their strength is too weak and they have to do it. However, the control of the countries of the Western Regions never belonged to anyone. And whoever is strong will favor whom. If we drive the forces of Tukchi out of this area, then all that remains is to compete with Tibet and Paz. However, the Tibetan prince Gesang is ambitious, and sooner or later he will sit in the position of Zampu, but his brothers may not stop there, so it will take time for Tubo to let go of interfering in the Western Regions, and the lord of the Path Empire is dark, and the palace battles are endless, and it is difficult to conclude even the alliance with our country, so if he wants to really get involved in the interests of the trade route, the contradiction will only become more intensified, not to mention that the lord of Badana is very talented and will never let the Paz Empire do this, and he, as a vassal of the Paz Empire, It is also even more difficult to completely control the countries of the trade routes. With this kind of constraint, coupled with the fact that what this trade route really needs is China's silk, and our country's existence cannot be lacking no matter what, so it is only China that can really exert influence on the countries of the Western Regions. ”

Liu Yan nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "If it is really as you said, then this matter is feasible, but I don't know who to send there, and how to avoid the eyes and ears of the Tuqi people?" ”

Wu Sicheng replied: "Your Majesty may not know that since our country was at war with Tuqi, the trade routes have been cut off, but there are still goods from our country that have spread to the Paz Empire and even further west, and that is the smuggling merchants, who have taken the opportunity to hoard and increase the price of goods by several times or even dozens of times. Turghe also had to tolerate the existence of these people for the sake of profit, otherwise they would have no profit to gain. For these smugglers, it is relatively simple to blend into the countries of the Western Regions, it is better to blend in and enter the Western Regions, as for the guide, Ginger can be the guide, he knows the local language, and knows the way. ”

"That's great, I'll start thinking about the right person right away."

With this conversation between the two monarchs and ministers, the strategy of the Silk Country has changed unconsciously to outsiders, and because this change was carried out completely in secret, it was not noticed by the world until much later, when the hand of the Silk Country had penetrated deep into the countries of the Western Regions and became a great disaster for Tuqi.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
