Zhang Fei is a guy who can't stay idle without a war. Guan Yu happened to be assisting Le Jin in Yizhou to attack the barbarians of Yizhou. He couldn't get rid of it for a while, so he asked Zhang Fei to go to Liangzhou to replace Guan Yu.

Anyway, Guo Peng does not intend to launch a crackdown on the Xianbei in Mobei at present.

The attack on the Xianbei in the north of Mo will be completed by Guo Peng's future commander. At least 100,000 cavalry will be used to go deep into the north of Mo to destroy the Xianbei and consolidate the grassland animal husbandry economic zone.

Completely eliminate the threat from the Xianbei, and defeat the seeds until they are left, completely annex them, so that they can follow the footsteps of the Huns.

That is not something that Zhang Fei can accomplish with more than 10,000 people.

By the way, maybe I will have to trouble Nanlou and his Wuhuan cavalry at that time.

hehe.

So now, it is better to put Zhang Fei in Liangzhou and go to the four counties of Hexi to harm the local Qiang and Han tyrants.

Anyway, the relocation of the Hanyang Camp in Liangzhou has been completed, and Cao Ren is also stationed in the Hanyang Camp. He can launch an attack at any time and bring back the four counties in Hexi.

With the rise of the national strength of the Wei Empire and the increase of Guo's power, Guo became more and more hungry about the Western Regions.

To return to the Western Regions, the four Hexi counties are an indispensable strategic road.

Before and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, due to the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou, the Eastern Han government gradually lost its influence on the Western Regions.

The Ban family's efforts to maintain influence and dominance in the Western Regions were ultimately in vain and were not maintained by the Eastern Han government, which is a pity.

This is true for the Eastern Han Dynasty and for Mr. Guo.

Because of the weakness of the Eastern Han government, Guo's information on the Western Regions was decades ago. He was not very clear about what happened in the Western Regions now.

However, it is very important that the Eastern Han Empire defeated the Northern Huns and controlled the Western Regions for decades.

The Western Regions cannot be integrated and cannot unite against foreign enemies, which gives Guo an opportunity to take advantage of.

The Southern Xiongnu were destroyed by Guo Peng's group and were all incorporated into the Han nationality. The Northern Xiongnu were beaten away and disappeared from now on, so the power of the Xiongnu no longer existed.

The huge empire that once threatened the life and death of the Han Empire has ceased to exist now.

The powerful enemies who could threaten Guo to seize and manage the Western Regions were gone, and the Eastern Han Empire took a hundred years to destroy them.

This is also one of the few contributions made by the Eastern Han Empire to Mr. Guo.

To manage the Western Regions and become the father of the Western Regions, Mr. Guo no longer needs to fight the Huns to death.

You just need to say something to the small countries in the Western Regions, give the candy to obediently, do business together, press the ground to rub it off, and then destroy it at will.

In front of a big country, a small country is sad.

It is lucky to be born in a big country, but it is miserable to be born in a small country.

This is the past, this is the present, and this is the future.

So Mr. Guo wants a Greater China, not a chaotic world.

The number of people and energy in Linzi camp is limited, so Guo Peng needs to be unified first, and then he will explore the outside world.

The Western Regions obviously cannot be considered as unified military achievements, so the news naturally lags behind.

Afterwards, with Zhang Fei and Cao Ren's progress in Liangzhou, Guo Peng needed to further infiltrate the Western Regions and send Linzi camp to the Western Regions to investigate the situation of the countries in the Western Regions. Only after understanding clearly could a stable policy towards the Western Regions be formulated.

It is very important to fight first or soothe first.

By opening up the countries in the Western Regions and selling certain products of overcapacity in the Wei Empire to the Western Regions, you can also make some foreign exchange and introduce some local specialty products from Central Asia. Perhaps there may be any unexpected gains.

Mr. Guo has been really envious of this trade route and this Silk Road that solves the problem of intra-rolling.

As an emperor, he not only had to deal with the monsters and monsters, but also had to be responsible for making the cake bigger, increasing the total amount of society's wealth, and properly redistributed.

In this way, we can leave more room for future generations.

Therefore, the Western Regions must be developed.

The strategy of returning to the Western Regions must be implemented.

After this decision was made, Mr. Guo began to write an edict.

He ordered Zhang Fei to set off from Liaodong and head to the northwest, and take office as Cao Ren's deputy. Under Cao Ren's leadership, he gradually infiltrated Wuwei County and began to conduct a strategy for Wuwei County.

At the same time, Guo Peng also ordered Cao Ren to prepare for substantial occupation of the four counties in Hexi.

You can start moving now.

Time is indeed almost done.

Before, Guo Peng asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to sort out a lot of information about the management of the Western Regions by emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After taking a look at it, he lost his eyes and continued.

Starting from Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the Eastern Han government's attitude towards the management of the Western Regions has always been negative and passive.

Basically, if you have some setbacks, you have to give up the Western Regions and just want to preserve the thirteen states of the Han area. You don’t care about the others, and don’t take the Western Regions seriously at all, and regard it as an economic path that must be occupied.

That's why there are three connections and three extremes and ultimately losing the Western Regions.

The weakness and weakness of small governments and their disadvantages in controlling resources are fully visible.

During the Liu Xiu period, Liu Xiu was busy stabilizing the country. Because he was unifying the world too quickly, he faced great problems after he succeeded to the throne, and was not strong enough for the Western Regions.

At that time, more than a dozen Western Region countries sent a proton to the Han Dynasty and asked Liu Xiu to go to the Western Region Protectorate, but Liu Xiu refused.

Indeed, during the Liu Xiu era, he really didn’t have much time or energy to manage the Western Regions. It was not easy for him to manage his own land one acre and three-point area.

It was really difficult for Liu Xiu to have a powerful man inside and a Hun on the outside.

Liu Xiu fought with the powerful for more than 30 years and died, leaving a relatively stable and relatively abundant country to his son, Emperor Ming of Han, Liu Zhuang.

After Liu Zhuang inherited the throne, because of the stability of the country, he did not need to be as cautious as Liu Xiu. So he learned from Emperor Wu of Han and began to manage the Western Regions.

In this way, the historical curtain of the Eastern Han Empire's three distinctions and three distinctions over the Western Regions was opened.

From Emperor Ming of Han to Emperor An of Han, the Eastern Han Empire fought a hundred years of struggle in the Western Regions and the Northern Huns, during which they failed three times, gave up the Western Regions three times, and made a comeback three times.

During this period, the contributions of Ban Chao and Ban Yong and his son even played a decisive role.

If it weren't for Ban Chao and Ban Yong's personal charm and strong personal abilities, they would have stabilized the Western Regions by almost making money by making money, and there would be more than three connections and three great powers between the Eastern Han Empire and the Western Regions.

Since Emperor Ming, the Eastern Han Empire has had an attitude of whether it is acceptable or not to be able to do so. It does not pay any attention to the Western Regions at all and does not think that there are many benefits to operating the Western Regions.

Giving up three times and starting three times can easily consume the credit of the Central Empire in the hearts of small countries in the Western Regions.

This is really dangerous. The game where the wolf comes is not fun at all, unless all these small countries are really destroyed and they are officially in charge of the Western Regions.

But Guo was not incomprehensible to the idea of ​​the Eastern Han government.

According to the rules of tribute, after the small countries in the Western Regions paid tribute, the Central Plains Empire needed to reward them more, and sometimes even if they came empty-handed, they could return with a full load.

For some shameless small countries, tribute is like making money from nothing, and you can earn real money and silver with a little bit of junk.

The fool doesn't come to pay tribute.

But as far as Mr. Guo is concerned, operating the Western Regions to open up the trade route is an excellent way to make a big cake. In this era when the sea route is not smooth and difficult to sail far, the importance of the land Silk Road is self-evident.

It's really fun to do business with a distant country to earn foreign exchange.

Transferring the excess domestic production capacity and returning real money, as long as it reaches a scale, it is far from comparable to the rewarded things.
