Putting the matter of brown cloth and squid cloth aside for the time being, the emperor asked: "Zhang Qing, do you have any cursory words for the matter of Ping Qiang?"

This is something he cares about very much.

This is mainly because Li Guangli failed to attack Dayuan in the first attempt, which left him with very bad memories.

It made the Han Empire even more dull.

If you beat a Qiang person now, you will suffer losses.

So, what do the Huns and the countries in the Western Regions view the Han family?

Therefore, although he was interested in Zhang Yue in the matter of Ping Qiang, he had high requirements.

Not only victory, but also a great victory!

Just like Wei Qing recovering Henan, Huo Qubing won the same brilliant victory as Hexi.

Only in this way can we shock the four barbarians, stabilize the border, and then wait for an opportunity to move.

Zhang Yue listened and bowed: "I have some plans..."

"Tell me!" The emperor sat upright and looked like he was listening with his ears in his mouth.

Zhang Yue then asked: "I ask Your Majesty to borrow the Hehuang sand table for use!"

The emperor waved, "Yes!"

He ordered Guo Rang to take people to carry the sand table in the Hehuang area.

The sand table was very big, and Guo Rang brought four servants before carrying it to the hall.

Zhang Yue looked at the sand table and bowed: "Please explain it to Your Majesty!"

"But!" the emperor nodded, stood up, and walked to the sand table.

This is a carefully crafted sand table. I dare not say that it is completely accurate in geographical and terrain, but at least the approximate accuracy can be guaranteed.

Therefore, Zhang Yue showed off the geography of Hehuang BC through the sand table.

Today, the direction of mountains, rivers and rivers in Hehuang area is generally similar to that of later generations.

But the entire geographical landscape has changed drastically.

The Gobi and deserts in later generations are now green mountains and clear waters.

This place is now a place where vegetation is lush and water and grass are abundant, especially the Huangshui River Basin, which is almost a plateau paradise.

The remnants of Xiaoyuezhi have been here for only more than twenty years, and their population has grown from only tens of thousands to more than 200,000 people today, an increase of at least four times.

Until the Song Dynasty, this place was still a paradise-like worldly prosperity. The Western Xia ruled here, hitting the elementary school students of the Northern Song Dynasty and kicking the Liao and Jin dynasties, which was very majestic for a period of time.

However, nowadays, the level of development here is very low.

However, a Great Wall suddenly appeared here.

It stretched hundreds of miles along Yongdeng County in Gansu, later generations, and extended to Jiuquan County, forming a link of the defense and offensive system of the Great Wall in the West of Hanhe.

And its core is the Qiang Weiwei District Commander's headquarters.

Judging from the sand table, Ling Juguan strodes the ancient return to the middle road and pinched the throat of the Qiang people going south and north.

It can be said that as long as the Qiang people have not lost their homes, even if they break through the Huangshui River, they will not be able to go south and north on a large scale.

but……

Zhang Yue was not concerned about Ling Ju.

But, another place.

Following the memory, Zhang Yue found this place.

Zhang Yue stretched out his hand and pointed a barrier in the middle of the sand tray, saying to the emperor: "I am foolish, if you want to settle the Western Qiang, you must collect the heart of the Yuezhi of the Huangshui River, and collect the Yuezhi of the Huangshui River, then this Xiping Pavilion will be the key!"

"In the past year, General Cavalry built a block here, climbed up to the west to look at the river, Huangshui, and stood up with a halberd. So he ordered Xiping Pavilion to use this as a base to pacify the Western Qiang and spread education to barren lands!"

The emperor listened, but fell into memories.

Huo Qubing died young, causing a series of consequences.

Not only this Western Qiang strategy had to be terminated indefinitely, but the Wuheng people also began to rise up both ends of snakes and rats.

As for the great achievements of returning to the vast sea and reaching Guyan Mountain and sealing the wolf and Juxu Mountain, it has become a great achievement.

The death of the Han cavalry general, Grand Sima, was not only a loss of the Han Empire, but also a loss of the vast grassland tribes.

When he was alive, he did not dare to bully the weak, and he did not dare to bully the small.

Wuheng, Huiqu, Yuezhi, Hunxie, Kunxie and even Qiang people...

All of them followed the orders of the Han generals, and grazed and lived in an orderly manner.

No one dares to disobey, and no one dares to disobey.

Because everyone knows that the Han cavalry generals will be up to their words and will be fair and just.

pity……

Missing Huo Qubing, the emperor couldn't help but feel melancholy, and he also paid special attention to the "Xiping Pavilion built by the Cavalry" mentioned by Zhang Yue.

He lowered his head slightly and focused on the place where Xiping Pavilion pointed out by Zhang Yue.

After watching for a while, the emperor couldn't help but suck his hands and exclaim: "Xiping Pavilion is really a place that military strategists must fight for, and the city of Huangshui!"

It is generally located in the middle of Huangshui River and is stuck at the intersection of the three tributaries of Huangshui River.

Controlling this place is equivalent to controlling the entire Huangshui River Basin.

Not only that, the geography here is even more dangerous.

Surrounded by mountains, the terrain is high in the southwest and low in the northeast. A typical example of a man who is a man who is at the pass cannot open.

As long as you keep here, the Huangshui River will be foolproof.

Zhang Yue was also full of emotion.

The Xiping Pavilion built by Huo Qubing was Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province in later generations.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to later generations, this place has always been the political, cultural and military center of Qinghai.

It remains unchanged for two thousand years, and the world cannot move at all for two thousand years.

Huo Qubing's strategic vision and foresight are like cheating.

So, after planning to gain popularity in Huangshui, Zhang Yue immediately locked in this place.

Treat it as your old nest and advance base in Huangshui.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Yue looked down at the sand table in front of him and said, "In the future, I will be ordered to go to Huangshui. I will build a city here to Pingcheng in the West of Han, control the Huangshui River, suppress the Western Qiang, spread the king here, and spread poetry, books, rituals and music to this!"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes stuttered: "Build the city? My dear, if you build the city here, the treasury may not be able to support it..."

Xipingting is too far from the Han family's ruling area, so the cost of building a city is probably several times that of the Central Plains.

If he wants to spend money from the treasury and others don’t say it, Li Guangli will definitely jump up.

Zhang Yue smiled and replied: "Don't worry, your Majesty, the cost of building a city does not require treasury funds..."

"Even, I think that the expenses for the Qiang Pacification do not require the treasury allocation..."

"Hmm?" The emperor looked at Zhang Yue, very puzzled.

In his understanding, even Huo Qubing might not be able to do this.

Why?

Because the Qiang people are poor!

The poor have nothing but the flock of sheep!

So poor that even profit-seeking businessmen are reluctant to trade with them.

"This matter falls on the cloth mentioned in front of me..." Zhang Yue said respectfully: "I heard that the Qiang people shepherd sheep, and the sheep they shepherd were sheep from high mountains. There is a different species of this type of sheep. Its cashmere is gentle and comfortable. It can protect it from the cold and reach the extreme north!"

In later generations, cashmere on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was a thing that was known as soft gold!

As for now...

As long as it is weaved, it will instantly kill any luxury goods in the world.

It was unanimously praised by the majority of nobles and playboys.

So, the Qiang people turned the pauper into a mob!

Unfortunately, such a rich man has no strength to protect himself.
Chapter completed!
