Although I don’t like the old Tartars of the Qing Dynasty, I have to admit that the territory of China was the several conquests of the Qing Dynasty that Kangxi conquered Zhungeer during the Qing Dynasty. The second time since the Tang Dynasty, it particularly strengthened the connection between the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and the Central Plains. Then there was Zuo Zongtang, who was particularly admired by Wang Hou. Under internal and external troubles, 70,000 troops alone carried the pressure of the corrupt Qing Dynasty and many British powers of Tsarist Russia and Britain, defeated hundreds of thousands of Central Asian thieves and defended China’s precious territory.

The Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions, connected the Silk Road, and established the Western Regions Protectorate. It seemed brilliant, but in fact, the Han Dynasty did not implement a precise and powerful rule on this land. Ban Chao had been thirty-six countries for decades, and his troops under him were actually less than 5,000. Later, the military strength of the Protectorate was constantly weakened and he was unable to maintain the rule of the Han Empire in the Western Regions. In the end, it was simply abolished for decades during the Qiang Rebellion.

This time, Guanzhong advances westward, which can be regarded as the second time after General Ershi Li Guangli conquered Dayuan, the Central Plains dynasty made such a large-scale attack on the Western Regions. This time, Wang Hou was also ambitious and planned to completely incorporate the Western Regions into the Central Plains rule before the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.

For this Western Expedition, he prepared two echelons in front and back, with more than 100,000 troops.

As the first echelon of the main force, there were tens of thousands of Heishan Hu Han Clan recruited from the Heishan Kingdom in Liaodong, led by Zhang Yan's third son Zhang Yun. The Goguryeo Kingdom, which had become a thin camel, was pulled out by Wang Hou for 5,000 people. Under Cao Zhang, the Western Regions guardian, there were 10,000 half-branch troops of the Bald Mansion who were crippled by Xiahou Yuan. The two powerful generals were also dispatched by him, Zhang He, one of the four pillars of Hebei, and Guo Huai, a fellow villager in Jinyang.

Then, all parts of Guanxi voluntarily enlisted tens of thousands of landlords who pursued honor, including 5,000 cavalry and more than 8,200 entourages.

Unfortunately, the Xianbei could no longer squeeze out the milk. The military pressure caused by Rouran in the north even forced Wang Hou to transfer the second brigade of Liaodong to Guihua City to assist in defense to prevent him from throwing his industrial base and railway transit station on the grassland to Rouran people!

It's true that when the Xianbei people were poor, the Xianbei people were more vicious than anyone else, but in the past two years, the tribes became rich quickly with their trade profits. The enterprising young tribes were either transferred west by Wang Hou to Guanzhong, or followed the Xianbei Pirate King to the south. This nomadic cavalry that left a strong mark during the Southern and Northern Dynasties is now weak and cannot even protect themselves. They even have to hire the Xiongnu cavalry from Jiuyuan to form a mercenary group to maintain their ranch north of Yinshan.

However, at this level of Xianbei, it is estimated that it will be impossible for it to cause any storm in the Central Plains.

The war mission is basically handed over to this first echelon to fight.

The second echelon was the 100,000 people from Wancheng Luhun brought by Cao Zhang from the Central Plains. Wang Hou not only considered the issue of conquering, but also how to defend it. These soldiers and horses were like the production and construction corps in later generations, stamina in the oasis north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, continuing the rule of the Han and Wei Dynasty.

Before the war started, it was particularly exciting to the industrial and commercial system under Wang Hou. The war must be weapons! After this order was sent, the large boxes of arms of the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Center in Liaodong came west on a train, and several major families holding Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Center made a fortune.

Then there are military rations. Later, Beida Cang was the largest commercial grain producer in China. Zhang Yan, the country of Montenegro made another fortune. The rice produced on the black soil of the vast Songnen Plain was also transported through railways in bags. The business was so good that Zhang Yan took the initiative to discuss with the Liaodong chaebols to expand the railway and run the original single-line third or even fourth-line, and four large trains together.

Then there is the milk powder from Guihuacheng, which is used as felt for the tent, yarn cloth for keeping warm, beef jerky, and canned fish from Qingzhou.

The piles of supplies were distributed to the Bafu Army, which was considered to be the direct troops, which actually moved Zhang He and Guo Huai to cry, and they were snot and tears. This was just like a soldier, and his days before were like beggars.

However, it was also because of so much preparation that Guanzhong had issued a war mobilization order to the west in February. However, when Wang Hou arrived in Dunhuang, half a year had passed, and it was not until August that the combat troops arrived at the battlefield.

Here, Wang Hou hoped that the Western Regions Protectorate team would be allocated. The civil servants were mainly Zhong Yao, the military general Zhang He and Guo Huai and more than 40 others, as well as the Allied Army Zhang Yun, the cannon fodder unit Gogurye Gaoquhe, and the complete talent was full of strong troops and strong horses.

Then the situation was really good. Wang Shuang, the former chief of the Western Regions, was very powerful. Under his wise management, the remaining major countries in the Western Regions were all reversed! 510 Literature

It is not a big deal that Wang Shuang is the expansionist ideology he pursues to enhance the management rights of the Western Regions Chiefs over various countries and orders the vassal states to pay tribute. Naturally, there are irreconcilable contradictions with many oasis powers.

Here, the forest method of whoever has the biggest fist is also vividly reflected. In more than half a year, when King Khotan killed King Jimi, he lost the Hanzhong great man and didn't even take care of it. He was the leader of the great man. He couldn't do it. Kucha, Shule, Shache, and Cheshi Kingdom in the north of Tianshan Mountain, so he withdrew his flag and rebelled against Han!

The Dunhuang Prefect's Mansion was so low that it was not like the loess wall hall of the government. He knelt on the ground, and the voice of the former Chief Secretary Wang Shuang echoed emptyly.

"Daxingtai, the last one is incompetent! Khotan captured the front station of my Loulan Protectorate, Kucha Shule killed my Han officials and envoys, Shache expelled my Han officials from the country, and set up checkpoints in the North Road, and levyed heavy taxes from our Han caravans in the passing Cheshi territory. Now there are only a few small countries such as Jingjue, Pule, Qule, and Pishan who are loyal to our Han, and are still resisting the invasion of Khotan and other countries!"

No wonder there was free shipping in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in later generations, and there was no free shipping in Xinjiang. Wang Hou felt that it was far enough to arrive from Chang'an to Dunhuang in Wuwei. However, looking at the map, it seemed that the distance from Dunhuang to Yutian was even further away than Chang'an to Guanzhong. Moreover, the journey was not as good as the Central Plains, and the deserts were connected by one. No wonder this place has been unable to form its own unified empire for so many years in history.

However, listening to Wang Shuang kneeling down to report depressedly, Wang Hou disagreed and waved his hand casually, pointing at Cao Zhang and said.

"The King of Wei rebuilt the Great Protectorate of the Western Regions, and appointed the third prince Cao Zhang as the Great Protectorate of the Western Regions. He is your superior! He is also looking for the Great Protector of the Western Regions. He does not need to find the Lord of the Western Regions."

He was pushed to the forefront all of a sudden, and then the political stage appeared. Cao Zhang, who had just watched Wang Shuang kneel in front of him with respect and one kneel salute again. He was obviously confused. Here, the team that Cao Cao built for him played a role again. The Shi Zhong Yao, the chief of the Western Region Protectorate, who replaced Wang Shuang, followed with his fists.

"The Great Protector, although rebellions arose in the Western Regions, their subordinates believe that the blame is not on General Wang Shuang, because it is entirely caused by the advance of the Protector's Army, which prevents them from acting rashly! What do you think?"

It is really reasonable that Zhong Yao is able to become the prime minister of Wei. He understands the etiquette of his subordinates very well. He analyzes the problems, but does not make his own judgments, leaving the judgment to the leader. Sure enough, listening to his analysis, Cao Zhang, the great leader of the Western Regions, successfully took the first opportunity to take office and won people's hearts! Nodding, Cao Zhang waved his sleeves with an extremely tolerant wave.

"General Wang asked him to raise him. The crime is not yours, but the overall situation! And if these people rebel, they will rebel. If they do not rebel, what will our army come from?"

"Thank you, the Protectorate!"

This voice was so refreshing that the powerful general Wang Shuang's voice became louder. He held his fist and lowered his head heavily. Then he stood up suddenly with his armor and retreated to the group of generals in the Protectorate's Mansion.

However, after the first fire was burned, Cao Zhang was stuck again. In front of everyone, he leaned against Wang Hou with guilt.

"Brother-in-law, how do you think you're going to fight!"

It was really hard to be Lu Buwei. Cao Cao wanted him to cultivate a crown prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, but he really threw a big burden with him. However, in helplessness, Wang Hou remained silent and said calmly.

"How to fight? The 30,000 troops are in your hands. Fight as much as you want!!!"
