Xunlong Pass is just a small village. It is only 400 steps long and is built with sand willow and loess plates.

This is the common construction technique used by many military frontiers in the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate.

The advantage is that it is simple and cheap. It only takes more than 300 civilians to build one in just a month. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to last long and requires several maintenance every year to repair the walls that are eroded by rainwater and peeled off naturally.

Xunlong Pass has just been maintained once, and some sand willows have been replenished on the wall.

As a military subway, there are always cavalry led by a team, and there are hundreds of poor people recruited from Kanto.

These landless farmers only arrived here in April this year.

Although they came late, they had already reclaimed two or three thousand acres of land near Xunlongsai, planted wheat, and more than 300 acres of vegetable fields.

Grove courgette (cucumber), glutinous vegetables (cabbage), sunflower, leeks and garlic seedlings were planted.

Therefore, even in autumn, Xunlongsai can eat fresh vegetables.

And beside the dragon block is the Peacock River.

In autumn, the river water dried up, and some sections even exposed the riverbed.

A large number of fish were confined in shallow water.

Therefore, the people who farm nearby often bring back more than a dozen strings of fresh fish.

So, in recent times, Xunlongsai’s recipe has become a syrup of boiled river fish.

Han Shouyue walked into Xunlongsai's inn, so he saw three or four hundred Hu Shangs, sitting in the inn, holding bowls and chopsticks, eating in big mouthfuls. The inn prepared a bowl of noodles for them, with cooked fish pieces and ginger dishes on it.

"Are these Hu Shangs you saved?" Han Shouyou asked the person beside him, Sima and the village leader Wang Xuan, who was looking for Longsai.

Wang Xuan's name looked gentle and gentle, but he was big and thick, with a beard all over his face. It was hard to mess with at first glance, and his words were even more muffled, almost like thunder.

"Report to the lieutenant, these people were rescued yesterday..." Wang Xuan replied loudly: "Now, Xunlong Village has thousands of Hu Shangs who have been rescued from nearby mountains and rivers these days..."

"The Wusun people are becoming more and more distorted!" Han Shouyue frowned and said to Wang Xuan: "It's just Wang Sima and Xunlongsai's soldiers!"

"It's not hard to serve the Prime Minister!" Wang Xuan immediately raised his chest and replied, "Just..."

He looked at Han Shouyue and asked in confusion: "Why should the court indulge Wusun?"

"I heard that in recent months, many Hu merchants have changed their business paths in Wusun. For this reason, Luntai and Weili's markets have reduced the commercial tax of at least a few thousand gold..."

"Yes..." Han Shou nodded: "The King's Protector lost his temper a few days ago, and even Mr. Chang was scolded..."

The Western Regions Protectorate’s greatest responsibility now is to make money for the country in addition to farming and supervision, and to manage the vassal states in their jurisdiction.

After all, the prime minister of Chang'an uses money like flowing water.

Just to continue to promote the river management project, tens of millions of Wuzhu coins were spent in summer.

For this reason, the Western Regions and Hexi had to transfer a large amount of gold and silver to Chang'an to provide national expenses.

Therefore, the Wusun people blatantly sent people to disguise horse bandits, block the Silk Road, and make profits from it. The Western Region Protectorate was the most angry.

Because the Wusun people not only cut off the way for everyone to make money, but also cut off the way for many people to get promoted and become promoted.

So, now, tens of thousands of soldiers and generals from the Western Regions Protectorate's Palace wish that Chang'an would immediately send troops to attack Wusun.

"However, Wang Sima doesn't have to be too anxious..." Han Shouyue comforted: "I came to look for Longsai this time, and I came to inform Sima of something under the orders of Wang Dupu and General Chang..."

Han Shouyue said seriously: "The court has decided to enthrone the princes in the Western Regions..."

"Prime Minister Ying Hou was the example of the world. He first moved the country to Shule, divided the Shule into the north and south, and built Britain in the north, and sent the crown prince to the town, as the story of Duke Zhou of Zong..."

"And to the south of Shule, it was established as a county..."

"The King of Ying was the first to show the example, and the royal families of all the world responded one after another. Now, General Zuo Xu, General Cheqi and Cavalry, Duke Xin, Grand Corps, Taipu, Weiwei and other civil and military ministers have responded..."

"The north of the Long Pass, wasn't it the Xiongnu ranch before?" Han Shouyue asked,

"Yes!" Wang Xuan nodded.

"I heard that several princes of the King of Changsha will be sealed there..."

"That's how..." Wang Xuan was so energetic. If Han Shouyou had not lie, then this time it would probably be the biggest reform since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

The princes, royal family, marquis, and ministers all went out to the Western Regions.

Suddenly, he woke up: "No wonder the Wusun people have been crazy recently..."

Han Shouyue laughed: "This is natural..."

"If our Han family really enthroned all the princes and royal families to the Western Regions..."

"Then, the immigrants to the Western Regions will not be just tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands..."

"In the next few years, the population that will be immigrated by these important ministers and clans will be in millions..."

"Now, our dynasty has garrisoned in the Western Regions, and the Dingkou, which is less than 100,000... has already made the Wusun people breathless. If the population reaches one million, Wusun may have to rely on our dynasty, seek to be a concubine, or learn from Li Shaoqing to usurp the foreign land!"

"So, Wusun talents have to disguise horse bandits everywhere and constantly attack business travelers..."

"They are not only trying to monopolize the Silk Road, but also to create risks and scare away my immigrants!"

"But the Wusun people may have done all the tasks this time, but in the end they have to be smart, they are mistaken by intelligence!"

Wang Xuan listened and nodded repeatedly.

Since the country has made up its mind, the Prime Minister himself has set an example to move the Western Regions, build a country, and build a feudal place. The royal family and princes of the world have responded.

Then, this can only explain one problem. The highest level of the Han Empire, the ruling group of power, has achieved everything: the Western Regions must be feudal!

This is not a general trend that the Wusun people can reverse by their own will!

Maybe the army that returned to the court last year due to the Prime Minister's order has set out from Chang'an and returned to Hexi.

Once they come back, the Han army will point directly to the Western Regions and will plant the Black Dragon Banner all over the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

And Wusun was powerless to stop all this.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan's eyes lit up. He looked at Han Shouyue, his old boss, and asked carefully: "Captain, you are here to look for Longsai, probably not just for inspection..."

"You are smart!" Han Shouyue laughed and scolded. He took Wang Xuan through the middle of the Hu merchants, walked out of the door, and said, "Wang Sima, you are ready these days. Once the Prime Minister arrives, he will follow me to the expedition to the west..."

"I want to first climb Shule for the Prime Minister and expand the territory of the Han army for thousands of miles!"

Now, the Xiongnu and his servants in the Western Regions have moved westward.

The population of the entire Western Regions decreased by one third in an instant.

A huge vacuum appeared in the direction of Shule.

The Wusun people then took the opportunity to go south, trying to fill the vacuum here, but under the deterrence of the Han army, they did not dare to do it too obviously.

In Han Shouyue's view, as long as the Prime Minister ordered, he only needed an armed march to occupy the entire Lao Shule and thousands of miles of land nearby.

And this contribution is enough to change the title of Guanneihou in any case.
