Ban Chao and Ban Yong saw this, so the father and son continued.

With a fearless attitude and extremely high dual commerce, they repeatedly used the contradictions between the countries in the Western Regions to find the most favorable balance point for the Eastern Han Empire, maintaining the influence and control of the Western Regions for the Eastern Han Empire and maintaining the smooth flow of the Silk Trade Road.

In addition, they also used the troops of the Western Regions to fight the Northern Huns to fight the Northern Huns many times, driving the Northern Huns one after another, and doing their best to drive the Northern Huns outward.

However, the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman gained profits, and the Eastern Han Empire's rivers are falling, and the century-long Han-Qiang War exhausted its national strength before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Before this, the Eastern Han Empire tried its best to stab the Northern Huns with the last sword, and then it basically died, and the countries in the Western Regions were liberated.

This is equivalent to two powerful bosses fighting each other and dying together, and their younger brothers are free.

From Emperor An of Han, the Eastern Han government's control over the Western Regions was getting worse and worse.

There is no more excellent leader with strong personal charm and personal qualities like Ban Chao and Ban Yong that can make the countries in the Western Region obey, and the Eastern Han government's suspicion of Ban Yong's indictment of Ban Yong also made the countries in the Western Region lose trust in the Eastern Han government.

Wang Jing, the chief of the Western Regions, was killed by the Kingdom of Khotan, and the Eastern Han Empire could not send troops to conquer.

The new king of Che Shi Hou was opposed by powerful officials in the country, and the Eastern Han Empire could not stop it.

Shule was in chaos in the country, and the Eastern Han Empire sent people to conquer several times, but it was unable to win or intervene.

With failures one after another, the reputation accumulated by the Han Empire in the Western Regions from the Western Han Dynasty to the early Eastern Han Dynasty was exhausted.

In this way, in the late period of Emperor Ling of Han, Liangzhou was in chaos to isolate the traffic between the Western Regions and the Han government. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Eastern Han Empire could not protect itself, let alone rule the Western Regions.

In other words, from the seventh year of Guanghe to the current three years of Yande, a total of twenty years, the Western Regions no longer obeyed the control of the Central Plains Empire.

They have become independent countries, and they do not obey the orders of the Central Plains Empire, no longer obey their own sect leader, and have fun with themselves.

I was happy like a child with a 200-pound pound.

Due to certain special necessities, the Silk Road is not isolated, and economic exchanges are still the same. There are always business travelers who can magically appear in the two places, bring their respective specialties back to their respective countries and make high profits.

Mr. Guo was very unhappy about this.

Do you make money so well?

Dare not to pay taxes?!

Therefore, after Guo eliminated the Liangzhou warlords during the Jian'an period, he ordered the Wei army to occupy all the roads from Wuwei County to the eastern part of Liangzhou. If all businessmen want to enter the eastern part of Liangzhou and the Central Plains to do business, they have to pay a lot of toll taxes and fees.

Then you cannot go deeper into the Central Plains, you can only make transactions with Central Plains business travel within the market stipulated by Hanyang County. It is not possible to go deeper into the Central Plains.

Mr. Guo wants to use this to tell the countries in the Western Regions that there is a new master in the Central Plains.

At the same time, Mr. Guo also complained quite a bit about the Eastern Han Empire.

If the Han Empire had not left so many messes and asked Guo to clean up and wipe his butt, Guo would have sent troops to the Western Regions to tell them what it means since ancient times.

Fortunately, after several years of rest and military farming preparations, the four counties of Liangzhou have accumulated a considerable amount of food, fodder and military supplies, and the rural system has been implemented. The grassroots mobilization force has been basically prepared, and the newly trained 30,000 Liangzhou cavalry are also eyeing them.

Yongzhou, as the general logistics base, was also prepared under the management of Chen Gong. The food and grass were piled up like mountains, and the treasury was filled with military supplies and the standard Wuzhu coins used as military pay, waiting for the beginning of the war.

After owning the three major horse-raising sites in Liangzhou and Youzhou, and adding the equipment of the three cavalry artifacts, in a few years, the number of cavalry of the Wei army has expanded from 70,000 before the establishment of the Wei Kingdom to 170,000 today.

Over the years, 100,000 cavalry joined the Wei army's combat sequence, greatly improving the mobility and combat effectiveness of the Wei army, and greatly increasing the logistics endurance.

The addition of a large number of mules and horses greatly improved the Wei army's logistics radiation capacity on land.

The Longxi Horse Farm in Liangzhou, the Yanmen Horse Farm in Bingzhou and the Liaoxi Horse Farm in Youzhou have raised more than 800,000 war horses.

At present, this number is still increasing, and it should be able to exceed 900,000 within three years.

As one of the only nine ministers in power, Taipu Xian Yu Yin personally stayed in the Longxi Horse Farm in Liangzhou, herding more than 500,000 horses, and gave Guo Peng great help in the war horses.

Guo Peng also gave Xian Yuyin great help in raising war horses.

It is specially used for special funds, and the funds for horse raising are specially set up. They are calculated separately from the national treasury and the inner treasury. If the outer treasury cannot be inserted, the eunuchs in the inner court cannot control it.

This independent war horse funding made the transportation efficiency of the Wei Empire begin to rise.

Especially at the military level, the addition of more and more war horses allowed the Wei Empire's army to gallop on the battlefield at the highest speed that surpassed all armies of the same era.

The time saved is uncountable.

The Northwest Corps placed in Liangzhou and handed over to Cao Ren to command in Cao Ren had a total of 55,000 troops, 30,000 troops from the Hanyang Camp and 25,000 garrison troops.

It turns out that the number of cavalry in the Northwest Corps is around 20,000, which is the highest proportion of cavalry among the major corpses.

At present, the Northwest Corps has achieved comprehensive cavalry transformation.

Everyone is a cavalry.

Because of the equipment of the three cavalry artifacts, they not only have strong infantry combat capabilities, but also can form military formations when dismounting the horse. They are also good at getting on horseback and are not afraid of riding a horse to rush forward.

The equipment of the three cavalry artifacts has greatly accelerated the speed of cavalry training and forming. From the first three or five years of hard work to now, it can be quite satisfactory and greatly improved efficiency.

The comprehensive cavalry of the Northwest Corps was also a very satisfying achievement of Cao Ren. He mentioned this matter more than once in his remarks to Guo Peng, indicating that he was very confident.

This time, Zhang Fei will be transferred to the ten thousand particularly elite and fierce cavalry under Zhang Fei, and will continue to let Zhang Fei commander join the Northwest Corps and accept Cao Ren's control.

With the joining of such a new force, the total strength of the Northwest Corps can reach 65,000 people, and it is easy to restore all Liangzhou and promote national prestige.

With such abundant supply of war horses and transportation horses, the Northwest Corps can even achieve a comprehensive one-person dual-horse system, as well as a full-logistic mule and horse system.

Everything can be transported with animal power, greatly enhancing the Northwest Corps' advancement and logistics transportation capabilities.

It can be said that the Northwest Corps under Cao Ren is the most capable corps in the Guo-Wei Empire with long-term combat capabilities.

The Grand Cavalry Legion is actually not useful in Jiangnan.

The Jiangnan River has dense water networks, hills, broken plains, swamps everywhere, and many undeveloped primitive jungles, which are really not suitable for the galloping of large-scale cavalry legions.

Therefore, the three major corpses in Jiangnan are mainly infantry, navy, and troops specializing in mountain combat.

The main cavalry were concentrated in Liangzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou.

Such a corps under Cao Ren were prepared by Guo Peng for the Western Regions.

In the future, this powerful cavalry legion will enter the Western Regions and establish its great reputation in the Western Regions.

Before this, Guo Peng needed to send enough spies to the Western Regions to fully understand the specific situation of the countries in the Western Regions.

Otherwise, if you don’t know anything, and you’re blind, what’s the use?

Twenty years ago... No, based on the lag of information, this is the message from thirty or forty years ago. The world has changed. The message from thirty or forty years ago is really useless.
