Chapter 512 Fishing in troubled waters

Yang Biao didn't know much about political matters, but he still understood military principles.

It's not like he hasn't fought against the Huns before, so he knows when to be on guard and what to be prepared for.

But as for the issue of supplies, Yang Biao really didn't think about it at all.

Because these fifteen thousand people didn't have any supplies at all.

The Han Dynasty has a long journey, how can it be possible to continuously transport supplies?

From the beginning, they planned to obtain supplies on the spot in the Western Region.

Everything was brought from the mainland, and the Han Dynasty was not that wealthy. Even the Chinese in later generations were not that wealthy.

Most of the military rations in border areas are locally produced or farmed.

Luoyang...

A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from the distance.

Attracted everyone's attention.

Dahan has not seen this kind of scene for many years.

The messenger cavalry with five flags on their bodies galloped all the way, the sound of horse hoofbeats was deafening, and they roared through the crowd.

The surprised crowd had to evade urgently. Some people reacted slowly and were quickly pulled away by the people around them.

What is the scariest thing about a big man?

A messenger cavalry with five flags on his body.

When you meet such a person, you have to open the city gate even in the middle of the night.

In order to prevent someone from using this method to deceive the city gate, there are naturally some preventive measures.

Likewise, when you meet this kind of person, just run as far as you can. Don’t be too stubborn to try.

The law is very clear, even if you are killed and your horses and cavalry are injured, your family must compensate.

If you are not dead, then you should pay compensation and then be directly convicted and imprisoned. There is no need to explain it in too many words.

Even the children of the Han Dynasty knew that the cavalry with five red flags could not stop them.

And for many years, the big man has never seen this kind of scene again.

And this cavalry came from the west. Many people can't figure out what happened in the west?

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from Zhao Jinglue, the envoy of the Western Regions Economic Strategy, and General Yang, the general of the Western Regions!" Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there is a great meeting.

The messenger cavalry walked into the Han Hall without any obstruction, directly interrupted the ongoing court meeting, sprinted all the way to the front section, took out two boxes from his body, and placed different letterheads in each.

"What's happening here?"

"Based on time, Zhao Jinglue and General Yang have almost arrived in Loulan, right?"

"Well, it's almost done..."

The ministers were also confused by the format of the urgent report.

Zhang Buyi hurriedly came down to receive the two urgent reports, and carefully placed them on several cases in front of the emperor.

On the way to retrieve it, he had already checked the seals and found that they were all intact.

After switching to the new relay method, there is no need to worry about a messenger running back from the border and dying of exhaustion.

There is a post station every twenty miles. Even this kind of emergency report is delivered through the post station.

But what is different from ordinary delivery is that this is a dedicated person.

Each post station is equipped with two dedicated messengers, who are usually used to deliver urgent official documents, higher-level official documents, and such urgent reports.

Because it is a fixed-point transmission, the inns or cities that can be directly connected to the surrounding areas have long been familiar faces.

Who is the ordinary delivery person and who is the special delivery person? All your downstreams will know.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty used fixed personnel to ensure the safety of information transmission and the safety of the city.

If a new person arrives, the county government where the inn is located will issue an announcement to all inns.

Then the newcomer can go on the road alone after running with the old man for a month and getting familiar with everyone around him.

Wang Buxu first opened Zhao Tuo's letter.

I read the above content carefully, and there was no emotion, anger or anxiety on my face.

He gently put down the letter and opened Yang Biao's letter.

The contents of the two men's letters echoed each other.

The core issue is that the Xiongnu have fully taken control of the Western Region, and detained King Loulan to the Xiongnu royal court, and supported people close to them to rise to power in order to control the place. They speculated that the situation would be similar in other places.

Qiuci and Wusun were defeated and fled away from home. King Wusun died in the battle and Wusun was divided into two.

Seeing this, Wang Buxu sighed.

"It seems like this is God's will!" Wang Buxu was still a little depressed.

I originally thought about it, but this matter turned out to be so unsatisfactory. In this case, let’s just let it go!

"His Majesty……"

"Wusun has perished, Qiuci has fled far away, King Loulan has been detained in the court of the Huns, and the entire Western Region has changed!" Wang Buxu said directly.

"ah???"

"this……"

"How could it be so fast?"

"It doesn't matter if it's fast or not. I've already guessed it, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late!" Wang Buxu continued, and the hall fell silent for an instant.

The court's response cannot be said to be slow. In fact, it is fast enough to be able to do so.

But unfortunately the Huns were faster, but there was nothing we could do about it.

Who made the Huns lose their home? They can do things more fearlessly.

"Zhao Jinglue suggested that I issue an edict to each of their city-states, allowing them to join the Han Dynasty and become a member of the Han Dynasty. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, wouldn't this be a little bad?" Xiao He couldn't help but blush. Isn't that so shameless?

Isn't this just taking advantage of the Xiongnu's invasion of the Western Regions, and the big Han people hurried over to seize the territory?

Even if it's robbery, we have to be fair and aboveboard so that no one can find fault, right?

"Xiao Shizhong, I don't agree with what I said. The Western Region City Wall requested to be enclosed, and your Majesty agreed to their request. Why is it bad? They should be yearning for the Han Dynasty, so they have such a request. If your Majesty refuses,

It's not good to kill them!" Chen Ping retorted directly.

Xiao He, Xiao He, you are indeed good at governing.

But externally, it is still a bit weak.

What is clear now is that the Western Regions are in a state of ownerlessness. Although the Xiongnu can run rampant in the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty can also do the same.

Why not take advantage of the fact that the Xiongnu muddied the waters and allowed the Han men to fish in the muddy waters?

And now is also the best time. If you miss this time, you may never find such a good opportunity again in the future.

"Well, what Shangshu Ling said makes sense. If I don't agree, it would be a little too unkind. I tell Zhao Tuo that we must treat the people of the Western Regions well. Although they joined late, they are still the subjects of the Han Dynasty.

, be sure not to treat them differently.”

"The Huns must have known that they wanted to join the Han, so they sent troops to destroy them. It's really hateful!"

"Instruct Han Xin to lead 150,000 troops and send troops to the Western Regions immediately!"
