Compared with the rear of the city that began to build the city with great fanfare for the stability of the Western Regions, Wang Hanxin's task was not at all easier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info fire? Correct? Wen?? w?w?w?．?

After the Battle of Jiaohe Ancient City, Wang Hanxin had to face the painful experience, and instead began to attack Wang Hanxin's supply line to harass the tactics of the Che Erlie; At the same time, he must also do a good job of pacifying the countries of the Western Regions; and secretly need to keep an eye on these kings, lest they do not know that they are secretly in conflict with the Turge; In parallel with these affairs, he also completed the disposition of the Tukto captives.

After the war, the number of captured Turks reached more than 6,000, and the number of soldiers who returned from wounds was more than 7,000, not including those who were disabled by wounds, and what to do with these soldiers became a problem. It is not so easy to feed these tens of thousands of mouths when the supply lines are not smooth, and these soldiers are in danger of mutiny. For this reason, the kings of the Western Regions almost unanimously suggested to Wang Hanxin that all these captives be beheaded, but Wang Hanxin did not do so.

Wang Hanxin left the crippled Tuqi soldiers in his own country, the territory of Qiuzi, where he chose a piece of land that could be cultivated, let them live, taught them how to grow food, and gave them the work of raising horses to support each other and settle down on the land.

For those soldiers who were able-bodied, Wang Hanxin reorganized them all into the army sequence of the Silk Country. This is an unprecedented thing for the Silk Country, Tuqi has been a great disaster for the Silk Country for generations, and their soldiers are also full of hatred for the Silk Country, will such soldiers loyally fight for the Silk Country? This was the general criticism that Wang Hanxin received when he proposed this method. However, Wang Hanxin believed that the Tuqi cavalry had its own unique characteristics in terms of control of horses, combat skills and group linkage, and as representatives of the strongest cavalry in the mainland, their strength could not be ignored. In terms of actual combat ability, the Tuqi cavalry is indeed superior to the cavalry of the Silk Country, if it were not for their inferior equipment, the cavalry of the Silk Country would definitely suffer a big loss. Since the gap is real, there is no need to avoid this issue, and it is better to humbly ask the Turks for advice is the way to close the gap between the two.

Wang Hanxin gave these 7,000 people quite generous treatment, formed a special cavalry battalion, and stated to them that based on their position, they would not be allowed to participate in the war with their compatriots during the war between the Silk Country and the Turks, and they would only be used in the event of a war with the armies of other countries.

For Wang Hanxin's disposition, regardless of what other generals of the Silk Country think, these Tuqi cavalry are grateful to Dade, not only did they get their lives, but also had their own homes and sufficient food supplies, and they still had military salaries to receive when they were not fighting, these were all treatments that they could not get in Tuqi, so Wang Hanxin added a strong force for nothing. This Tuqi cavalry team was also nicknamed the "wolf cavalry battalion", and later the combat effectiveness of this cavalry team armed with the sophisticated equipment of the Silk Country far exceeded that of the Tuqi cavalry, and the combat training level of the cavalry of the Silk Country was also improved.

Wang Hanxin transferred 1,000 men from the wolf cavalry camp to the king of Wusun, who had made contributions in the battle of Jiaohe, as his escort troops, so that the king of Wusun had an extra thousand elite cavalry, but at the same time he had to be careful, because the soldiers of the thousand wolf cavalry battalion would always keep an eye on himself as the front line of the fight against the Tuqi.

At this time, a rumor spread from Chang'an: Emperor Liu Yan intended to re-establish the Western Regions Protectorate, and Wang Hanxin was the best candidate for the Western Regions Protectorate.

As far as a martial artist is concerned, it is almost the ultimate dream to be able to be the Lord of the Metropolitan Protector on one side, and Wang Hanxin is only twenty-six years old this year, which can be said to be the youngest record for a civilian-born military general to do this. Although he knew that this was just a rumor, Wang Hanxin's joy was still beyond words.

But there is one person who has expressed complete opposition to this, and he is Mi Yiguo, the captain of Zhenwei.

Mi Yiguo also made great contributions in the process of pacifying the Western Regions, he and Chen Shijie built Yizhou City as a stronghold together, and later commanded the battle in the Battle of Jiaohe, Mi Yiguo, who was mediocre in martial arts, actually shot an enemy soldier with his own hands, but he himself was slightly wounded. At this time, he has transformed from the gentleman back then to a real soldier, and Wang Hanxin's attitude towards him has also changed from respecting and staying away, but Mi Yiguo has always worshiped Wang Hanxin like a god, and it is the first time to raise objections like today.

Wang Hanxin stared at this imperial relative who was younger than himself, and said, "Why can't I take up the position of protector of the capital?" ”

Mi Yiguo replied: "There are three reasons why my lord cannot serve as the protector of this capital. First, you're too young. You are only twenty-six years old this year, and among the generals of our dynasty, there are only a handful of generals who can be the general of Dingxi at your age, not to mention the Lord of the Three Grades? In this way, you have climbed to the level of your old prefect, Lord Su Chengdong, the Protector of Liaodong, and the importance of the Western Regions is obviously above Liaodong, so you are actually on top of it. Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for His Royal Highness the King of Zhongyi County, Lord An Jingbian of the Military Department, who has not recovered from his illness, and Lord Xue Boren, who is acting of the Military Department, you are the fourth-ranked military general. And among these four people, your background is the lowest, and you are only two years older than His Royal Highness the King of Zhongyi County, imagine what the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will think of you? I'm not entirely sure, but they must be more detractor-all-detractor-glorifier than praiser-of-the-or-alle-glorious.

Second, the kings of the Western Regions believe that you have the help of the gods because of the Battle of the Rivers, so they are in awe of you. This can certainly make them obey you, but this is the Western Regions that is stabilized by your personal prestige, not the prestige of the imperial court. If you leave this place one day, will the court still be able to make these countries completely obedient? If your personal virtue is too much, then even the emperor will not be completely at ease with you.

Third, the emperor reuses you in order to let you go all out to deal with Tuqi, not to let you be a minister who governs the world, and your talent as a military general is far better than your ability to govern, so why curb what you are good at to display your talents that you are not good at?

It is better for you to take the initiative to write to the emperor and ask the court to quickly appoint a prince to come here to proclaim the pacification of the kingdoms, so that the army of the Western Regions is still in charge of you, but you can show your attitude to the ministers above the court, including the emperor, and let them know that you don't care about the throne, but just serve the interests of the court. Isn't it good that even though we have lost the position of the protector, we can have a wider space? ”

Mi Yiguo's words made Wang Hanxin nod again and again, stood up, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "You are right!" Togo just has a good reputation. I will write to the emperor. And, I have to admit that you have indeed become a great character, Uncle Guo. ”

When Mi Yiguo heard this, he immediately bowed his head respectfully.

From this moment on, Mi Yiguo established his position as an important staff officer by Wang Hanxin's side. (To be continued.) )
