Continue to set the bowl and ask for recommendation votes. In addition, the territory map related to the work has been brushed out, and those who are interested can take a look.

……

The empire's internal expansion is not entirely based on bloody killings, and in some respects, the attitude towards the old countries is in some respects, whether it is the "past" that has happened or the "future" that has not happened, Lu Zhe's approach is definitely one of the mildest in all dynasties, except for the necessary killing, he rarely raises the butcher's knife, and even the old royal family that has been destroyed has not been temporarily cleansed.

Killing people is often the simplest and most effective means, but more often killing people does not solve the problem, and even sometimes the resistance to killing more will become more intense, not because Lu Zhe is benevolent by nature so he didn't kill too much, everything is just because there is no need for that.

The matter of the outer seal is by no means the product of Lu Zhe trying to test certain things, partly to reduce internal contradictions, and more to hope that the pioneering spirit of the nation will be more vigorous. It is a pity that only a few people show an interest in going out to explore, and more are less interested in the so-called "extraterritorial".

Fusu must understand whether the outer seal is a ploy of Lu Zhe, and then make actual actions, for fear that some actions will cause a catastrophe. And to be honest, it is really necessary for him to see and think more, Qin has done too many things in the past historical period, and those things have attracted monstrous hatred, if no one is secretly waiting to see them unlucky, it is impossible to say anything.

There is only two hours of rest at noon, which is not short to say long, and it is not long to say short, but two hours of time to talk freely about some things is obviously not enough, so when the time comes, Fusu can only leave with regrets.

Yang Zi sat in place and silently watched the back of his eldest brother leaving, thinking in his heart: "Continue to return to the empire." Zhang Han, who has performed brilliantly recently, also abandoned him, is there any useful courtiers around his brother? ”

It is an instinct for people to go to higher places, the empire is developing well, and seeing that Lu Zhe's rule is becoming more and more stable, some people will inevitably make a choice whether it is for themselves or their families, not only the phenomenon of talents leaving on the Fusu side. The situation on Wei's side was already worse, and now it is even worse.

After the restoration of the Wei State, there were no too brilliant characters around Wei Qi, only a slightly brighter Zhou Shi was supported, but Zhou Shi then died in battle in order to break Wei Qi when the Qin army pounced, and Wei Qi really had no effective manpower around him except Wei Bao.

Is Wei Bao a talented person? Only the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise. Wei Qi and Wei Bao are siblings, and in the dilemma that no one is available, Wei Qi can't do everything himself, so he can really only rely on his brother Wei Bao.

Walking halfway to the Yizheng Palace, I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, Fusu met Wei Ji again.

The state of Qin and the state of Wei were feuding. Now because there is a common choice and a reason for intimacy, the former hatred seems to have faded with the same position, and the two greet each other with a smile.

"I'm still more envious of King Qin!" Wei Qi's words made Fusu a little puzzled, and then said: "My daughter has not produced for a long time, and her heart is unanimously depressed. ”

After listening to the latter words, Fu Su came back to his senses, it was Wei Ji alluding to some things, such as the degree of favor of the concubines in Lu Zhe's harem is also related to the help that all parties can get later. In this regard, Fusu just smiled and couldn't talk about it.

In fact, among the many harem concubines. The most born are Lu Pheasant and Han Yan, but the two only gave birth to a son and a daughter respectively. Most of the rest of the concubines are a son or a daughter, but Wei Shuang and Ji Dan have no gains.

So far, Lu Zhe has not been crowned a prince, and many people have a lot of speculation about this, but it is generally believed that Lu Yi born to Zhao Wan has a natural advantage, after all, Zhao Wan is the queen, so Lu Yi born to her is naturally the eldest son.

Since ancient times, the concept of the distinction between the descendants and the concubines has been popular in China. No matter from which aspect, the eldest son has a natural advantage, unless something happens to Zhao Wan, otherwise the imperial crown prince must also be in the pocket of Lu Yi, the eldest son.

Will anything happen to Zhao Wan? This is really quite difficult to say, at least Fu Su and Wei Ji have no judgment, and they don't dare to easily inquire about the news of Lu Zhe's harem.

The two of them walked towards the council hall. As they were about to enter the square, they spotted a group of children in front of them almost at the same time.

"Prince Yi, Prince Yang, Prince Bin, Princess Ying, Princess Yi......" Wei Qi paused and looked at it with a little curiosity: "They seem to have stopped those envoys from Central Asia?" ”

Yes, Lü Zhe's gang of children stopped the various envoys from Central Asia, and they seemed to be having some conversation with them.

Fusu caught some figures out of the corner of his eyes, and some people also appeared on the other side of the square, if he was not mistaken, the people who came were Lu Qi and Lu Shao.

The newly appearing Lu Qi seemed to have a slight surprise when he saw Lu Yi's group of brothers and sisters, and only after pausing at Lu Shaoying's urging did he step out again.

Fusu and Wei Qi were a little closer, and they could hear the princes and daughters asking strange questions.

On the other side, those children also saw the approach of Fusu and Wei Qi, they stopped chattering, and saluted Fusu and Wei Qi respectively, basically saluted without making a sound, only Lu Shao respectfully greeted Fusu "Uncle", which made Wei Ji have an unconcealed envious expression on his face.

In a group of people, if you pay attention to observation, Lu Qi and Lu Yi are observing Fusu with strange eyes, looking at the meaningful gaze of the two, they don't know what they are thinking in their hearts.

Fusu really noticed the strange gazes of Lu Qi and Lu Yi, and he could see that there was a trace of curiosity in the eyes of the two children, which was more of an inquiry. He didn't understand why Lu Qi and Lu Yi had such eyes, so he didn't care too much.

Wei Qi and Fu Su didn't stop too long, waiting for them to be far away, and Lu Qi and Lu Yi had already left the crowd slightly.

"That person is Fusu."

"Hmm."

The person who spoke first was Lu Yi, and the one who answered later was Lu Qi.

"Zhao Gao did not issue an edict, Fusu did not commit suicide, and Meng Tian was not imprisoned in Yang Zhou." Lu Yi rolled his eyes and looked at Lu Qi with a smile.

Lu Qi looked at his younger brother inexplicably, and said in a low voice: "It's not good to talk about the queen's father. ”

"Haha!" Lu Yi lowered his laugh twice, when he wanted to say something more. The hem of his clothes was pulled by Lu Ying a few times, and he didn't think it was a good time to say anything, so he smiled again and walked away.

"Those words just now ......" Lu Qi stood in place, his face slightly confused, and thought to himself: "What do you mean?" I came there, and after the collapse of the Qin Empire, the empire took its place. Then began a high-speed expansion, not only recovered the land of China, but also quickly occupied the northern grasslands within 20 years, driving the Xiongnu to the far west, and then the empire stopped its expansion in the north and northwest, and handed the Xiongnu to the feudal Qin king to suppress, the empire began to focus on the expansion of the south, and its energy also turned to the sea......"

A call interrupted Lu Qi's memories, and when he turned his head to look. Lu Yang was standing beside Lu Yi and beckoning to him. He looked at Lu Yi and saw that kind of expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"I come from the imperial calendar in 873, when the empire had completely occupied the world island, and the occupation of the other side of the Pacific Ocean had been going on for nearly 300 years, and four of the five continents in the world were either imperial territories or colonies, and the society had entered the era of industrial technology for at least 200 years. In 860, the empire had already landed on the moon for the first time......" Lu Qi took a step, and his thinking ended here, but he looked at the grief that flashed on his face. It seems that something else is happening, something bad for the Empire?

Lu Yi on the other side was also thinking in his heart: "It looks like I really don't know." So how is it possible that a famous historical event is not known? He kept a smile on his face, but he was very strange in his heart: "I am from 2025 AD, when a war broke out with the European Union first because of Lao Maozi and the follow-up events on the Ukrainian side, and after the United States entered the war, it triggered a series of effects, and the world fell into the ...... of World War III." It's to be tempted again. Still is...... Did I think wrong? Brother Qi is not a traverser? ”

A group of children stopped the Central Asian envoys and attracted attention, and after the ceremony, Lu Zhe reacted, and the officials from the Hongru Pavilion came over, and the Central Asian envoys who were stopped for a while were able to get out.

At the end of the lunch break, the envoys of the Central Asian countries who attended in the morning did not participate in the afternoon pilgrimage. They were sent out of Miyagi and returned to their own place of collapse, where they each began their own activities.

The Imperial officials who had returned to the temple were seated again, and from the very beginning, the topic of the Great Court Meeting went straight to the discussion of dealing with the army gathered in the depths of the steppe to pounce on Wusun.

In the middle of the discussion, Lu Yi and Lu Qi took the lead, Lu Yang and Lu Shao followed behind like little tails, they entered through the front gate, and the appearance of the four made the minister who was talking stop and turn to look.

It was Lu Zhe who asked the four heirs to be brought into the council hall, and the four princes were also arranged to sit under the steps to the throne, which belonged to the place closest to Lu Zhe.

As soon as the four princes appeared, the civil and military officials in the palace were already looking at each other.

There was no prince at any previous court meeting, and this time there were four of them, and they looked at each other and frequently looked in the direction of Lu Zhe, not knowing what such a thing meant.

“…… Our opinion is to use Wusun as a bait to attract the gathered Hu people to pounce. In this way, there is a premise, that is, to ensure that Wusun can resist the invasion, at least until our army is completed and the Wusun cannot be destroyed. ”

"Wusun is a regional power in the Western Regions, but now there are Maotun people in the south of Wusun to attack and disturb, and there is also Jitu in the northeast to lead the army to attack. In the Western Regions, which was able to effectively give Wusun some assistance before, the city-states were already overwhelmed by the influx of fugitives from the west, and it was difficult for Wusun to get help from the city-states, so Wusun was impatient to ask for our help. ”

The person who spoke was Chen Ping, who was slender, wearing a civil official dress to look at Sven, and his voice was also clear, and he needed to pause from time to time to answer some officials' questions when he spoke.

Wusun's side has repeatedly expressed his willingness to ask the empire for help, and each time it is more and more urgent. The reality is that Wusun has reached the most dangerous moment, if the empire does not stretch out his hand to help, it will really be destroyed under the siege of many parties. In this context, the current King of Wusun has sent someone to escort his grandson on the way to the empire, whether he wants to seek refuge and take him as a hostage, but the empire does not seem to regard King Wusun sending his grandson as a hostage, at least not very seriously?

"At present, we have four legions in the direction of the Western Regions, and if we march urgently, we can reach the Wusun border within about a month. There are six legions in the northern grasslands, and they have been stockpiling relevant supplies since receiving the relevant orders, and three of them can also go deep into the grasslands at any time if necessary. Kuaitong walked out of the court after Chen Ping retired: "For us, what we should consider now is how many enemy troops Wusun can attract, and what kind of assistance we need to make Wusun support." In addition, can Wusun support our various legions to reach the corresponding positions. ”

The empire has always been preparing to deal with the Hu people's wanton southward movement, but after making a lot of preparations, they waited for the Hu people to come over, but the Hu people turned the road halfway and pounced on Wusun, which means that most of the empire's early preparations in the northern grasslands have failed, and the defense lines established on the grasslands have become decorations, and the concentrated materials will not be wasted.

It is both a good thing and a bad thing that the Hu people did not pounce directly on the imperial border. The good thing, of course, is that the frontiers of the empire do not become battlefields, and some reconstruction work does not come to a standstill; What's the bad thing? The empire is now able to fight deep into the grassland is not a large number of troops, and the full battle will not exceed five legions, and the intention to fight the Hu people in favorable areas and areas with easy supply has failed, which means that the army will have to face an unfamiliar environment when it enters the depths of the grassland, and the difficulty of the supply line will increase with the elongation of the battle line.

"We have a suspicion that the Hu people have found that our army is moving towards Wusun, and it is very likely that the Hu people who have gathered and pounced on Wusun will give up the invasion of Wusun. If those Hu people retreat to Mobei again, our wanton mobilization will inevitably become an action to consume military funds and grain, and we will gain nothing. ”

Lu Zhe couldn't help nodding when he heard this, with Tou Man leading the Hu people south and almost annihilating the entire army, the Hu people must learn a lesson, and they will no longer stupidly fight head-on with the imperial army, but will adopt the usual tricks of the Hu people, with enough space to stretch the supply line of the imperial army, it will inevitably be hide and seek from the imperial army on the grassland, if the imperial army does not show any flaws, hide and seek will continue, once there is a problem with the supply on the imperial side, it will be the Hu people who pounce.

"We now have two plans, and the basis of the plan is to provide the necessary assistance to Wusun first. Now we are talking to the people from Wusun's side to see what we need, and to exchange those things for the supplies of the Empire. Kuaitong said this, and a smile appeared on his face: "We will get a lot of good horses, and it will be easier to include Wusun in our civilization system." (To be continued......)
