    The red light outside the window shot into the sky, dyeing the dark night sky with a fiery red halo, and from time to time there were shouts and noises outside the cabin.  Lu Duosun, who was in front of the table, took a sip of the salty milk tea and put down the ceramic cup. His calm and serious expression was completely inconsistent with the atmosphere outside. He said: "After the Battle of Dalos,  The Tang Dynasty was devastated by the Anshi Rebellion and had no time to look west, and its forces gradually withdrew from the Western Regions. After many years of warlord rule, and the chaos in the Central Plains after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the "Chinese" forces have not entered the Western Regions again for more than two hundred years. "Unexpectedly, it has been more than two hundred years.  Even more excited, "The officials are working hard to restore the dignity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Now tens of thousands of troops are deployed in Hexi. The time has come, but when will it be better!" Lu Duoxun paid attention to Yang Ye and guessed the reason for his excitement.  It is the title of Duke of the country.  "What General Yang said is absolutely true." Lu Duoxun said kindly, "But things are not that easy. It has been more than two hundred years since the Central Plains withdrew from the Western Regions, and today's geography, water sources, countries, and sects have completely changed. What we currently know about the Western Regions  Very few, dare not act rashly and risk the lives of soldiers and the military expenditure of the treasury." Yang Ye frowned and thought.  Lu Duoxun said calmly: "The lower official has a suggestion. Wei Renpu, the deputy privy envoy, is very attached to the northwest. It is said that when he came to Feng'an and saw the site of the ancient city of Han and Tang Dynasties, he broke down in tears. Wei Renpu is the most important person around the official.  He is one of the ministers who must ask questions about military affairs and national policies. If General Yang can send reliable people and get Wei Renpu's support in this matter, the chances will be greatly increased. " Yang Ye immediately clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, Minister Lu, for reminding me.  " Lu Duoxun nodded: "I want to pour cold water on General Yang, and I can't get along with you. But the soldiers belong to the imperial court, and the expenses, military supplies, and equipment also need to be supported by the entire country. If you can't get the support of the official family.  With the support of the imperial court, I am afraid that General Yang is just thinking about making great achievements." These sincere and heart-to-heart remarks caused Yang Ye's attitude to change drastically. He asked in a humble manner: "What does Lu Shilang mean?  , report it to the court first?" Lu Duoxun shook his head again and said solemnly: "This is what General Yang wants to do, so we can't leave everything to the court; the court has many plans and ideas, and major decisions require disputes and compromises between all parties.  "It's very troublesome and slow." Yang Ye said, "Please give me your advice, Shilang Lu." Lu Duoxun touched his short beard on his chin and said for a long time, "Now Suzhou is still in the hands of the Uighurs; we have to discuss the melons and sand with the Guiyi army."  Governance. These things are not difficult, but they are very complicated and will take time. During this period, you can send a horse to report General Yang's strategy to the court, wait for the court's approval, and ask the Privy Council to copy the geographical records of the Han and Tang Dynasties.  The official just happened to have some plans" Yang Ye said: "I would like to hear the details." Lu Duoxun said frankly: "I have two strategies to fight for one protection. The Western Region is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. Longyou in Guanzhong is in decline, and Hexi is in decline.  New acquisitions, supplies and foundation are unstable; Da Xu wants to send a large army to wipe out the Western Regions by force alone, which is undoubtedly a foolish dream. At this time, inheriting the remaining power of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, regaining prestige, and making it impossible for the countries in the Western Regions to ignore Da Xu.  This is the goal and the best strategy for the forces in the west. This time all the countries jointly attack the Xizhou Uighurs (Kara Khanate). Most of them should strive to maintain the face of the alliance and use fighter planes and light cavalry to raid the Xizhou Uighurs.  Prove your strength, not just talk; at the same time, you must protect Khotan, restore military towns in the Western Regions, build fortresses and garrison elite troops, and win over Khotan as an alliance. Not only can you gain a foothold in the Western Regions, but you can also extend your influence deep into the Western Regions and gradually understand the astronomy of the Western Regions.  Geographical situation. The Li family of Khotan (Yuchi) has always had good relations with the Central Plains. It was granted the title of king by the (later) Jin Dynasty and formed an alliance with the Guiyi Army. If they want to enter the Western Regions, they will be kind to Khotan. " Yang Yeting.  The young man spoke eloquently, and with a sincere expression he raised his hand and said: "Shilang Lu is relied upon by the officials at such a young age. He is really a great manager." Yang Ye admired Lu Duoxun's plan very much and immediately prepared a memorial and dispatched his horse.  Return to Beijing.  At this time, the troops set off from the Hexi Army camp stationed in Ganzhou and exited the Hexi Corridor via Liangzhou (which had surrendered and was stationed with Xu Army). They took Lingzhou. Although the road was a long detour, there were Xu Army fortresses along the way.  The strongholds and inns are more secure; then go south from Lingzhou to Guanzhong and enter the hinterland of Daxu.  The road from the Hexi Corridor to the capital of Daxu has been completely opened.  ¡­¡­ In the study room of Jinxiang Palace in Tokyo, there was a sudden ¡°bang¡± sound. Guo Shao did not throw the cup, but just slammed the cup on the table.  The three ministers and a eunuch in front of them immediately bent down in unison.  Guo Shao has a reputation as a benevolent king and rarely vents his anger in public. This behavior is already very serious.  Zan Jurun said: "Feng Jiye has a bad reputation. Cao Gong knew it but still strongly recommended it, and he was bold in hiring people. He actually let Feng Jiye be the vanguard general. He really failed his majesty's great trust" Zan Jurun's voice echoed in the crow.??The sound echoed in the silent house, appearing extremely clear.  Guo Shao was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said: "I was also wrong. After all, I agreed with Feng Jiye. Letting this person go to Jiaozhou was a mistake in itself." How could the emperor be wrong?  Zuo You said first: "Back then, Cao Bin was on the northern road of Shu and in the southern Han Dynasty. He had many fierce generals, and he could restrain the soldiers Qiu without committing any crimes. In this case, Feng Jiye should be restrained. Your Majesty just trusted Cao Bin.  What's more, even if Cao Bin uses Feng Jiye, he should not put him in the position of general" "Forget it, let's not mention the merits and demerits for now, how to modify the Jiaozhou strategy now?" Guo Shaodao, "Let's discuss the affairs tomorrow morning."  He said and waved his hand a little unhappy.  The few people said no more and bowed before retreating.  There are many opinions in the DPRK on this matter.  Some advocate adding troops to Jiaozhou, using important towns as strongholds, building post roads and post stations along the main waterways, and forming a three-level network governance order of countless cities, forts, and outposts along the post roads, fully occupying Jiaozhou, and implementing military rule.  Attack the territory of the Ding tribe, hunt down key criminals, win over local powerful people to enfeoff, exile criminals from the Central Plains, relocate residents, send seeds to farm cattle to reduce taxes, build schools and teaching halls, kingize the people, promulgate laws I don¡¯t know how much it costs, and more  I don¡¯t know when it will take effect, and the cost is a bottomless pit.  Some advocate abandoning Jiaozhou, occupying coastal strongholds, and slowly win over the new Jiaozhou forces.  It is very economical to think that a few hundred troops can firmly defend a Liuhua Fort.  Guo Shao did not express his position, but sighed again: "People are not popular, and recognition is hard to find." Soon, Northwest Yang Ye's memorial arrived in Tokyo.  Guo Shao felt a little relieved when he learned that Yang Ye had pacified Longyou and Hexi at a small cost and made all the tribes surrender.  He also took a closer look at the strategy proposed by Yang Ye and Lu Duoxun, and praised: "Aim for the long term and start with pragmatism." However, Guo Shao understood that the situation in the Western Regions was more complicated than the mixed ethnic groups in Longyou, Hexi, and there were also sectarian issues.  The Western Region is too far and too complex. Expanding influence and power westward is a long-term process that cannot be accomplished overnight. There is no shortcut to Zhongnan Mountain.  While he discussed with the ministers and approved Yang Ye's memorial, he also wanted to remind Yang Ye not to be reckless.  The eunuch Yang Shiliang secretly reported that the cavalry returning from the northwest had literary staff lobbying the Privy Council.  Guo Shao then asked Yang Shiliang to send someone to summon his staff to see him.  Guo Shao's words did not fall on the paper. He stepped back and said something to Yang Ye's staff: "Now that you have gone to Tokyo, go back and bring a message to Yang Ye: In this situation, it is not a good idea to rush forward."  "It is wise to be prudent." There is no other way to say it, but Guo Shao knows that Yang Ye will definitely understand.  Since Yang Ye¡¯s staff has come to Tokyo, what happened in Jiaozhou? Can the news be brought back to the northwest?  Cao Bin has disappointed the emperor, and Yang Ye has already grasped the prestige and achievements of pacifying Longyou and Hexi. If you don't lose, you win. Risky behavior is only suitable for underdogs who hope to fight back. "Be safe and be wise"  This means.  A month later, Cao Bin¡¯s memorial arrived in Tokyo.  He again petitioned for an increase in military spending and proposed a new strategy.  Cao Bin requested to establish the "Jiaozhi Province" and wanted to build a seaport and fortress along the east coast of Jiaozhou, and then build strongholds and post roads along the Taiping River to Luocheng.  Taking Luocheng as the capital of Jiaozhi Province, they occupied the capital and the key areas leading to the East China Sea, and then gradually attracted people from Jiaozhou to serve in the capital and local areas, suppressed and governed Jiaozhou.  Guo Shao asked the central ministers for their suggestions in the meeting hall. He thought this was a moderate remedy, so he adopted the suggestions of Cao Bin, who had a better understanding of the situation on the ground.  At the same time, an order was issued to recall Feng Jiye and let Cao Bin re-appoint generals.  Attacking Jiaozhou was a national policy decided by Guo Shao in the court after a lot of hard work.  He believed that this matter was of great significance, so no matter what, he was unwilling to give up and had to keep going!  At this time, the Western Regions and Jiaozhou became a protracted struggle at the same time.  Guo Shao stood on the high platform of Jinxiang Hall, looking at the changing white clouds in the sky, thinking about Cao Bin and Yang Ye in his heart. Faintly, he felt as if he was communicating with God A sense of fate came over him.  heart.  Yang Ye, a person who originally left a great reputation in youth history, may still stand out here.  After taking many twists and turns, fate seems completely different, yet mysteriously similar.  So, what is the fate of the Great Xu Dynasty?  Thousands of years later, maybe it will be called "Qin, Han and Tang Xu"
