    Entering the Chinese army's tent, Gao Yangan sat in the middle position.  bq.e raised his chin and looked at Cao Cao, asking aloud, "Is everything ready?" "Reply to the captain." Cao Cao hurriedly bowed and replied, "The army already sent troops to Dawan last month to build a bridge when encountering water.  See the mountain and open the way. At this moment, the soldiers have arrived at the capital of Dawan." Gao Yang smiled and took a sip of the ice water handed to him by the guard.  He forcefully unbuttoned his military uniform, frowned and said, "Why is it so hot here? Isn't this the Flame Mountain?" "Ah?" Cao Cao looked at Gao Yang with a puzzled look on his face, not understanding what the Flame Mountain he was talking about.  mean.  Gao Yang shook his head and drank the ice water in his hand.  After letting out a heavy breath, he said loudly, "After the Dayuan Kingdom is the territory of the Yuezhi people. Do you know them? If we attack the Dayuan Kingdom, will they send troops to rescue us?" "This" Cao Cao rubbed his hands.  He held his hand and said with some embarrassment, "The Dayue clan was originally the feud of the Huns. Hundreds of years ago, they were defeated in the battle with the Huns. They fled all the way west to settle in the land farther west of the Dayuan Kingdom. In the past few hundred years, there have been very few  News about them has come out. As for whether they will send troops to rescue Dawan, this subordinate is not sure. "You are incompetent as the governor of the Western Region Protectorate." Gao Yang raised his hand and nodded at Cao Cao.  He said with a non-smile.  These words were a bit heavy, especially coming from the mouth of Gao Yang, who had all the power in the world. Cao Cao immediately started to sweat on his back.  "My subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, Taiwei." Cao Cao hurriedly apologized.  But he was very dissatisfied in his heart.  There are dozens of countries in this Western Region, with such a large area and so many people.  How long has he been here?  It's already amazing to be able to roughly calm it down.  How can we take care of those countries further away?  I can¡¯t even understand the words, okay?  "Forget it." Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "I can't blame you. Anyway, no matter who the enemy is, just destroy it. That's what we are doing in this western expedition." After a pause, he then said, "You should contact Lu Zhi as soon as possible.  Hand over the affairs of the Western Region Protectorate and go out with the army. " Lu Zhi was a world-famous general who commanded the army during the Ling Emperor's period, and many generals came from his sect.  During the conquest of the Yellow Turbans, he was imprisoned because of the unfavorable battle situation.  Although he was rescued later, he was disheartened and lived in seclusion in Shanggu Jundu Mountain.  After Gao Yang came to power, he re-recruited Lu Zhi and sent doctors to rescue Lu Zhi, who was already terminally ill.  He gained his allegiance immediately.  In fact, Lu Zhi's illness is not a big deal in Gao Yang's opinion.  But in this era, it is a terminal illness.  It was just a simple effort for Gao Yang to save him.  This time, Cao Cao was prepared to take Cao Cao with him during the western expedition to Gaoyang. The person who would replace Cao Cao as the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Regions Protectorate was Lu Zhi.  "Is there a lot of wealth in this city?" Three days later.  The army set off for Dayuan Kingdom.  When passing by the ruins of the capital of the Wusun people, Gao Yang pointed at the ruins and asked Cao Cao.  "Tell me, Mr. Taiwei." Cao Cao, who couldn't figure out what Gao Yang meant, could only choose to tell the truth at this time, "The Wusun people are stuck on the only road for business travel, so they are very rich." "Yes."  Gao Yang nodded slightly and did not comment much on the things Cao Cao did in the Western Regions.  After a while.  Gao Yang turned sideways and said to Cao Cao who was following him, "Do you remember Sun Wentai?" "Remember." Cao Cao was slightly stunned, thinking of the brave and invincible Jiangdong Tiger, and responded hurriedly.  Gao Yang smiled and said, "He has wiped out all the earth kingdoms in the south, and also discovered islands full of spices. Now the popularity of spices in the empire has reached a crazy point." "Yes. There are also lower officials.  I heard about it." Cao Cao knew from letters from his hometown that there was a large supply of spices in the Han Dynasty, but he did not expect that it was the Jiangdong Tiger who discovered it.  Gao Yang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a chuckle, "In order to commend his achievements, I gave him the exclusive rights to sell spices for three years. All the spices sold in these three years will be used by him and his navy.  As a reward for their expansion of territory for the empire. " "Hiss~" Not only Cao Cao, but all the generals who listened with their ears upright took a breath.  What a fortune this must be!  These generals all know that spices are extremely expensive, but they are still difficult to buy.  If Sun Jian could sell it for three years, wouldn't he be as rich as the country?  "Hahaha~" Gao Yang laughed loudly and said, "This is how I employ people. As long as you have the ability to accomplish things, the benefits will naturally be indispensable. Whether it is Sun Jian sweeping Nanyang and occupying the fertile and wealthy Nanyang islands. I gave him exclusive sales.  With all your strength, I don¡¯t care if you take back the Western Region, slaughter the city, and plunder the country. The stronger your ability, the greater the reward I will give you!¡± &nbsp"I understand!" Cao Cao was overjoyed and nodded heavily.  He has always been worried that everything he did in the Western Region will be settled by Qiu Hou.  But after listening to Gao Yang's words today, I finally put my heart back in my stomach.  "I have ordered Sun Jian to continue traveling south. There is a huge island in the south. Its area is even larger than the entire Middle-earth! And except for some savages, there is a large wilderness. After Sun Jian completely controls it,  It's not impossible to let the Sun family occupy a piece of land there as a vassal state." Gao Yang looked at Cao Cao with a smile, and the meaning in his words was naturally clear.  "The final general must do his best to serve the country!" Gao Yang's words were so clear.  If Cao Cao couldn't hear it, he wouldn't be Cao Cao.  Gao Yang looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile, "Do a good job, I am optimistic about you." The country of Dayuan is not small in area and has a large population.  It was also a powerful country on the Silk Road.  But what they are most famous for is the Dawanma in the country, which is also known as the sweaty horse.  The common man is not guilty.  It is a crime to have a jade.  The country of Dawan has such a valuable treasure in the cold weapon era, so it will naturally attract countless prying eyes.  It's okay to say that ordinary power can be resisted by the Dawan people themselves.  But once it attracts the prying eyes of mountain-level forces like the Han Empire, it can no longer be defended.  During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he once ordered the Dawan Kingdom to pay tribute to the Dawan horses, but the Dawan people refused without hesitation.  The Dawan people naively believed that their country was thousands of miles away from the Han Empire, and even the Han people could not reach it even if they were exhausted.  He didn't take the Han Emperor's words to heart at all.  Then, the tragedy began.  The powerful Han Empire forcefully dispatched its army and spent several years traveling thousands of miles to conquer the country of Dawan.  Not only did they snatch the Dayuan horse, but they also killed the king, routed the army, burned the city, and plundered the people.  The tragic war hundreds of years ago left a cruel shadow on the Dawan people.  Until now, they still feel frightened when they hear the word "Han Army"!  Hundreds of years have passed, and the Dawan people who were silently licking their wounds were suddenly surprised to find that at some point, the legendary Han army actually appeared in front of their homes again!  Looking at the huge steel army, the Dawan people immediately lost the courage to resist, and obediently sent Dawan horses to ask these ferocious Han troops to leave early.  Who would have thought, the horses were taken away, but the Han army had no intention of leaving.  Not only did they not leave, but they set up camp in the Dawan Kingdom. Those who built bridges and paved roads seemed to be stationed here for a long time.  No matter which country it is, it will not allow dissident troops to exist on its own soil.  Unless you are defeated.  Just like the countries in the Western Regions now, and the Japanese pirates thousands of years later.  The anxious Dawan people repeatedly urged to no avail. The furious king immediately ordered the recruitment of troops to prepare for resistance.  At the same time, an envoy was sent to Da Yuezhi to request reinforcements.  Dayeshi is the overlord of this area, and Dayuan is his younger brother.  When the younger brother is in trouble, the older brother will naturally mobilize all his troops to help.  After receiving Dayuezhi¡¯s affirmative reply, King Dawan excitedly gathered all the men in the country to prepare to resist the invasion of the Han army.  It was just when he brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses eagerly prepared to fight.  But on the battlefield, they found that the Han army on the opposite side was boundless, with continuous military camps and flags like clouds.  Let alone hundreds of thousands of people!  The King of Dayuan was frightened to the point of peeing.  The fame of the Han army hundreds of years ago suddenly appeared in his mind.  At this time, facing so many elite Han troops, he was completely at a loss.  As for how he saw that the Han army was all elite.  That's because almost all of those Han soldiers were wearing metal armor!  Some even have horses covered in heavy armor!  In the cold weapon age, the production of steel was very scarce.  Metal armor that can protect lives has become an extremely important and scarce resource, and is usually equipped for nobles or elite warriors.  Forget about ordinary sergeants.  And the huge Han army of hundreds of thousands that the King of Dayuan saw was almost all wearing rare and precious metal armor.  Just being scared to the point of peeing is already amazing.  When the Dayue clan's soldiers and horses arrived, they saw that their younger brother only had thousands of soldiers and horses left around him.  The Dayue clan general who led the army was surprised and asked where are your troops?  The King of Dayuan responded with a grimace, "They all ran away. Don't listen to the challenge. They ran away without even saying hello when they saw the Han army." The confused Da Yuezhi general took his own  Soldiers and horses went to investigate the Han army who had heard of him for a long time.  But he was also frightened to the point of trembling with fear.  That quantity, that equipment.  The few people he has are not enough to give people? Stuff between teeth.  Dayuezhi¡¯s generals finally knew why Dayuan¡¯s army fled.  Don't talk about them, even he himself has the urge to run away now!  "How did so many Han troops come here?" The generals of the Dayue clan and the King of Dayuan were completely unable to understand this kind of thing.  Such a long distance, such a large army.  How did the Han army provide supplies for people and horses?  With so many mouths, people eat and chew every day, which is an astronomical number!  Where did the Han army get their food and grass?  Gao Yang naturally would not explain to his enemies that everything he ate was stored in the storage space.  Not only are there food and grass, but there are also cigarettes to smoke.  After a few days of rest, Gao Yang commanded the army and began to attack!  (To be continued.)
