In a desperate situation, Tuoba Shi Yijian led the remnants of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to move westward, preparing to take refuge in Tuyuhun in the west, in order to get rid of the fate of being completely annihilated.

The news of Mobei's victory soon spread to Luoyang City, and Hua'an was very excited to learn of such good news, and decided to immediately form the Anbei Protectorate to rule this vast area.

"Your Majesty, Mobei is quite far away from the Central Plains, and it is separated by the desert, and the formation of the Anbei Protectorate in the direction of Mobei is not conducive to the control of the imperial court, it is better to build the governance of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate in Monan, which is convenient for the control of the imperial court, and the conditions are much better, leaving tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Mobei." A confidant subordinate opened his mouth to persuade.

When Hua An heard this, he waved his hand and said: "No, Mo Nan can be handed over to the governor of the state, the Anbei Protectorate must be built in Mobei, only by building in Mobei can it effectively deter the tribes of Mobei, so that the tribes will not dare to rebel against my Great Jin court, as for the problem that is not conducive to the control of the court, it is also very easy to solve, that is, it will be transferred every few years, so that the generals of Anton and Anbei can be exchanged, and at the same time, the generals of the Central Plains can also enter Mobei, and the generals of Mobei can also enter the Central Plains, so I'm not afraid that the border general will not be able to fall off. ”

Seeing that Hua'an insisted on establishing the Anbei Protectorate in Mobei, his henchmen and subordinates thought about it very thoroughly, and no longer objected, and fully supported Hua'an's decision.

Subsequently, Hua'an officially issued an order appointing Xie Ai as the first Grand Protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and asked him to immediately establish Anbei City in a strategic place in Mobei, and use it as the seat of the entire Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to realize the rule of Anbei.

The Andong Protectorate and the Anbei Protectorate have been established one after another, and the influence of the Great Jin Dynasty has achieved full coverage of the north, and all the people of all ethnic groups living in the north and northeast must rely on the breath of the Great Jin to survive, and the Great Jin will make them feel a sense of identity with the Central Plains through education, so that they will eventually be assimilated by the Great Jin and become a perfect whole with the Great Jin.

But. People's ambition and greed are endless, and after the establishment of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Hua'an set its sights on the Western Regions and the south of Jiaoguang, and there is also a lot of land available for development in these two directions. In particular, the Western Regions can stretch all the way to the West and are the most potential land for development.

Hua'an gathered several of his henchmen and began to study the conquest plan for the Western Regions and Southern Xinjiang.

"Your Majesty, to control the Western Regions, you only need to send General Song Cheng to lead the troops to conquer, and the conquest of the southern frontier will be handed over to the king of the south. However, my Great Jin Dynasty has just established the Protectorate of Anton and Anbei, and now it is going to expand to the west and south, and I am afraid that the national strength will be greatly lost, so it is better to slow down! A confidant subordinate whispered.

Hua An shook his head and said: "Strike while the iron is hot, now taking advantage of the opportunity of our army's continuous victories, it is very advantageous to send troops to conquer the Western Regions and Southern Xinjiang, besides, we can expand as much as we have strength, there is no need to expand too much at one time." But the homeland of the Western Regions at the time of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty must be recovered no matter what, and there can be no compromise on this point, after all, this is related to the face of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Western Regions is a place where good horses are produced, if the Western Regions are lost, the war horses of my Great Jin cavalry will not be able to be well improved, and it will be very unfavorable to the Great Jin in the long run, and. The Silk Road was very lucrative, and as long as the Silk Road was occupied, it was possible to collect taxes from the caravanserais, thereby increasing the financial revenue of our Great Jin. ”

"Your Majesty. General Song Cheng's 100,000 camel cavalry has already been trained, and now is the time for them to show their strength, so it is better to let General Song Cheng lead 100,000 camel cavalry to recover the Western Regions! A subordinate general opened his mouth to suggest.

When Hua An heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, General Song Cheng's 100,000 camel cavalry has been formed for many years, and I believe that it must have formed combat effectiveness long ago." Whether the camel cavalry can exert its huge combat power must have a real battle to prove, pass the order, let Song Cheng, the assassin of Liangzhou, lead 100,000 camel cavalry to recover the homeland of the Western Regions, remember, let him do what he can, recover as much as he can, and if there are any difficulties, he can raise them to this king. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinates will do it." A subordinate replied.

"Report, Wang, Jiaozhou was victorious, and the main force of more than 100,000 troops of the Jingzhou Army broke through the nearly 200,000 allied troops of the Nanyue tribe, won a decisive victory, and recovered all the important cities in the north of Jiaozhou." At this moment, good news also came from southern Xinjiang.

When Hua An heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled indifferently, looking quite relaxed.

"Your Majesty, the combat strength of the Jingzhou army of the Southern King is still not weak! He actually put down all kinds of rebellions in southern Xinjiang so quickly. One of the henchmen said worriedly.

Hua An said with a smile: "The strong combat power of the Jingzhou army is the blessing of my Great Jin, and this king is very happy about it!" ”

"But the Jingzhou army is not the king's henchmen, and the strong combat power of the Jingzhou army may not be beneficial to the king!" A confidant said.

Hua An waved his hand, and said: "Although the Jingzhou army is not the henchman of this king, but the soldiers and horses under the command of this king are used to establish Andong, Anbei and Anxi Protectorate, and the southern Xinjiang region can not draw enough soldiers and horses, if the Jingzhou army can continue to attack to the south, it can establish Annan City, the administrative office of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, in a suitable position in the south of Jiaozhou, and all the lands in the south and southwest of Jiaozhou will be included in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the strong combat power of the Jingzhou army seems to be a good thing!" ”

"The king is Shengming, but the king of the south may not attack the south together! After all, southern Xinjiang is a barren land, full of miasma and poisonous insects, barren land! The henchman said worriedly.

Hua An thought for a moment, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, this king has his own way to make him agree." ”

When all the henchmen heard this, they didn't understand Hua'an's original intention, but since Hua'an said that there was a way, there must be a way.

Subsequently, Hua'an personally wrote a letter to Huan Wen after some thought, the content of the letter was extremely respectful, praising the Jingzhou army under his command for a brilliant victory, if it can continue to attack the south and capture the vast area in the south, it will have a great merit in opening up the territory, and it will last for centuries, but the emperor is young and has just ascended the throne, and needs the assistance of talents, so it is hoped that Huan Wen can enter Luoyang City to assist the new emperor, and the affairs of the government's southern Xinjiang will be sent by Hua'an to carry out.

Hua An said in the letter that let Huan Wen enter Luoyang City to assist the little emperor, is a kind of rhetoric, he naturally hopes that Huan Wen can lead the main force of the Jingzhou army to conquer the southern Xinjiang and expand the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty to the Indian Ocean, the reason why he said this is deliberately polite, besides, he believes that Huan Wen will not be willing to go to Luoyang City to be controlled, so he will definitely choose to march to the southern Xinjiang. Thus politely rejecting Huaan's proposal.

Soon, Hua'an's handwritten letter was delivered to Huan Wen in Jiaozhou, looking at Hua'an's handwritten letter, Huan Wen's mouth showed a smile. And give the letter to the henchmen beside him, so that they can read it too.

"Your Majesty, Luoyang City can't go."

"Yes! Your Majesty, what about the ministers who assist the new emperor? The king did not need to go to Luoyang City in person. ”

"The king's journey to Luoyang City is bound to be controlled by others, so it is better to stay in the south to be at ease."

After reading the letter, the subordinates read it. They all opposed Huan Wen going to Luoyang City to assist the little emperor in the imperial court.

Huan Wen smiled and said, "You take a closer look, what is the intention of the Northern King?" ”

The henchmen and subordinates looked at it a few times, and finally found the part that they had ignored, and in front of letting Huan Wen enter Luoyang City, he mentioned the proposal to let the Jingzhou army attack the southern Xinjiang, but there was less ink and ink, and the emperor rejected this proposal because he was young, so. It was just that everyone didn't notice, and Huan Wen naturally noticed this sentence, and immediately understood Hua'an's intentions.

"Your Majesty, the intention of this letter is actually to let our army continue to attack south, so that the Great Jin can obtain a larger land, the capital of Annan, and the ambition of the king of the north is really big!" A confidant said.

"Your Majesty, the south is all barren land, and it is not of much benefit to us to capture such land, so it is better not to go." A confidant said.

Apparently. All the henchmen and subordinates believed that the land in the south and southwest of Jiaozhou was a barren land full of miasma, and that it was not possible to obtain real benefits by attacking these lands, and besides, the roads in the south were rough. The miasma was raging, and the army might not necessarily be able to defeat the various ethnic regimes in the south, and it was too difficult to establish the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate.

Huan Wen didn't think so, paused, and said: "Since Wang Meng can establish the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, Xie Ai can establish the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate." Why can't this king establish the Annam Protectorate? Moreover, the Qin Emperor opened up Lingnan and extended the territory of Daqin to Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, which was admired by later generations, if the king can open up a large area of land south of Jiaozhou, then future generations will inevitably be able to remember this king, the husband should be a hero in life, and he should be a hundred generations after death, moreover, the king opened up the land in the south for the sake of future generations, and completely put all ethnic groups in the south under the control of the Great Jin, so that they can no longer threaten the southern territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and return the people to a stable and peaceful life. ”

Obviously, Huan Wen is a person who does not admit defeat, he will not lose to Wang Meng and Xie Ai, in addition, he also wants to establish the Qin Emperor's exploit of Lingnan, so that he can be immortal, so that future generations can always remember him, worship him, and the most important point, that is, there can be a justifiable reason to refuse to enter Luoyang City to assist the little emperor, after all, after entering Luoyang City, he will be constrained everywhere, so it is difficult to show the ambition in his chest, and if he does not enter Luoyang City, nor attack Annan, Hua'an will definitely not agree, Huan Wen knows that his strength is not Hua'an's opponent, so he naturally does not dare to openly confront, so he can only go through Nan'an, thinking that he is seeking the greatest interests.

"The king is bent on the well-being of future generations, and does not hesitate to enter the barren land, this is really a model for us, and the last general is willing to follow the king into the barren land and include all the land in the south into the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty." A general was moved by Huan Wen and said with a fist.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to swear to follow, first destroy the Nanyue clan, and then sweep the entire south, build Annan City south of Jiaozhou, and establish the Annam Protectorate." Another general said.

Seeing that all the generals swore to follow him, Huan Wen was very excited, and said happily: "With all the generals who will fully support this king, this king will definitely be able to sweep the entire south and establish the Protectorate of Annam." ”

"The Great Jin will win, and the king will win." The ministers will roar with joy.

Subsequently, according to the strength of his soldiers and horses, as well as the material reserves, Huan Wen decided to start marching south by separate routes a month later, and established a logistics supply base in Jiaozhi City, the capital of Jiaozhou, and all the materials needed for the southern expedition were transported to Jiaozhi City, and continued to be transported south by Jiaozhi City.

Of course, marching to the south must be approved by the Great Jin Imperial Court, therefore, Huan Wen wrote to the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, on the grounds that the Nanyue people and other ethnic groups had repeatedly provoked incidents in the southern Xinjiang of the Great Jin Dynasty, and demanded to lead the main army to the south to conquer the forces of the South Vietnamese and other ethnic groups, and demanded the establishment of the Annam Protectorate.

At this time, the emperor Sima Yu only had a few months, so he naturally couldn't deal with any major state affairs, and the government was temporarily in charge of the empress dowager Chu Garlic, and Chu Garlic was a woman, so it was impossible to deal with this kind of military affairs, so all kinds of major matters in the imperial court were naturally handled by Hua'an.

Hua'an received Huan Wen's message in less than a month, and his heart was very happy, judging from Huan Wen's request to march south and establish the Annan Protectorate, he had fully understood Hua'an's intentions and bottom line, and obediently followed Hua'an's intentions to lead the army to prepare to attack south of Jiaozhou.

Hua'an naturally gave an immediate reply to Huan Wen's performance, and officially let Nanwang Huan Wen concurrently serve as the chief protector of the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate, and established Annan City in the south to control the entire Annan Metropolitan Protectorate.

After the approval of the folding, Hua An'an finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now, all the four major protectors have eyebrows, which really makes him very happy.

After the establishment of the Metropolitan Protectorate, it is necessary to fully control the area under its jurisdiction, and through the way of policy Huairou, economic control and cultural education, so that the people in the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Protectorate can identify with the Great Jin, among them, cultural education is the top priority, because only through cultural education, can the people of the surrounding ethnic groups identify with the Great Jin Dynasty and recognize the Great Jin Dynasty as their suzerain, at the same time, in order to make these tribes have a sense of belonging, you can use ancient legends to describe the descendants of the people of all ethnic groups as the partial branch of Yanhuang and Chiyou, So that the people of all ethnic groups think that they are also part of the Chinese nation, so that it is easier to control, of course, for the resistance force that swears to die and refuses to belong to the Great Jin, it is necessary to completely annihilate it at all costs, this kind of thing must not be compromised and soft.

After spring ploughing, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, the people of the whole country are busy with spring ploughing, in order not to violate the agricultural time, Hua'an let the army around Luoyang City join the ranks of spring ploughing in batches, so that they can help the people do farm work, so as to reduce the burden of the people, so that spring ploughing can be better and more efficient.
