Chapter 767 Indifference
Everyone was indifferent.
"Since no one mentioned it, I'll take it as everyone's acquiescence." Jia said softly.
Sure enough, everyone is willing.
Jia Xu smiled lightly, and greeted, "Ling Ming."
Pound clasped his fists together: "Military division."
Jia Xu ordered: "This time when the troops enter the Western Regions, you will be the main general, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie will be the deputy, and Wen Ruo will be the military adviser. If you encounter any problems, you should consult with Wen Ruo more often, and you must not become king without authorization."
Pang De and the others looked at Gou Yu, and they all cupped their hands together: "Don't worry, military commander, we will obey what we say!"
Jia Xu finished the arrangements: "Go back quickly and pack your luggage, we will leave early tomorrow morning."
Yu Na was a sweat. When Pang De and the others left, he gave Jia Xu a hard look: "Wen He, this is how you usually arrange your work? Why don't you have any substantive content?"
Jia Xu's reason is also very strong: "One person has one idea, I have said too much, I am afraid that it will affect your performance."
Xun or: "..."
I was speechless.
Early the next morning.
The army left Guzang and headed slowly towards the Western Regions.
On the way, Pang De couldn't help asking: "Military division, how should we proceed when we enter the Western Regions?"
"I knew you would ask this question."
Xun Yu was also quite helpless. Pang De and Ma Chao were really drunk when they met a military adviser like Jia Xu: "We don't know the situation in the Western Regions now, and leading the army rashly, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary panic."
"Therefore, I suggest that the two generals, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, lead the army slowly. The slower the better, the two of us, select some of the elite in the army, travel in private servers, and secretly inquire about the situation. After we have a basic understanding of the situation, we can go Intend."
Pound nodded humbly: "That makes sense."
After finishing speaking, he greeted the messenger and said: "Call the two generals Ma Xiu and Ma Tie. This general has something important to discuss."
The messenger promised, and immediately rode away.
Not for a while.
Ma Xiu and Ma Tie came to the front of the army.
General, what's the matter?
Pang De ordered: "I have discussed with the military adviser, the general, you two will be in charge of the army for the time being, and we will slow down every day. Together with the military adviser, I will go to the Western Regions to investigate first, and make a decision after we understand the situation."
Matthew and Ma Tie responded in unison: "No."
Everything is arranged.
With four or five entourages, Pang De, together with Xun Yu, dressed in ordinary clothes, galloped all the way to the Western Regions.
After a whole day and night, everyone finally left Yumen pass.
After leaving Yumen Pass, it is equivalent to arriving in the Western Regions.
Protectorate of the Western Regions.
It is the jurisdictional institution set up by the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, and it is also the highest official position in the Western Regions.
Since Banchao in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there has been no protector, and only the governor of the Western Regions has exercised the power of protector on his behalf.
The previous Protectorate of the Western Regions was all set up in Wulei City, which is relatively in the center of the Western Regions. It is extremely important to guard the main routes of the Silk Road and make it easier to control the countries of the Western Regions.
It's just that due to the weakening of the national power at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the great Han's ability to control the Western Regions became worse and worse.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the Han Dynasty completely lost control over the Western Regions, so that for so many years, there was not even a single communication between the inside and outside.
I don't know what happened to the Western Regions!
When Pang De and the others came to Loulan Kingdom, looking at the dilapidated Protectorate of the Western Regions in front of them, they couldn't help feeling devastated.
You know, in the Western Regions, this mansion is not just a mansion.
It represents the supreme authority of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions!
But now, there are spider webs hanging upside down and dust everywhere, as if it has been abandoned for a long time!
Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There is no diplomacy in the history of a weak country. Your Highness's words are really piercing, and the pain is unstoppable!"
"Wen Ruo, this..."
Since entering the Western Regions, they have called each other Biaozi, so that they can hide a little bit.
"Stop talking, go up and call the door." Xun Yu took a long breath, feeling extremely complicated.
He really didn't expect that the Great Han's Protectorate of the Western Regions would fall into such a state today, he couldn't believe it.
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
There was a knock on the door: "Is anyone there?"
For a long time, no one answered.
The guard continued to knock on the door: "Is there anyone inside?"
Xun Yu let out a long sigh and said softly, "Let's..."
Before the words fell, a voice came from the mansion: "Han dialect, it's actually Han dialect, and the people outside are Han people?"
Squeak!
The door opened, and dust rose up.
A disheveled old man turned out from inside. He was thin and withered.
"Are you from the Han court?"
The old beggar stared at Xun Yu and the others with wide eyes.
"this……"
He probably didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"The Great Han Dynasty has died, and now it is the Zhao Tianwang Empire!"
Pang De beside him immediately blurted out, cupping his fists and clasping his hands: "We are sent by Zhao Tianwang, who is about to proclaim himself emperor. You, the Protectorate of the Western Regions, why did you become like this?"
"A good death! A good death!"
"Bah, it really pissed me off, let me stay here for more than thirty years!"
The old man grinned his teeth in anger, wishing he could swear every sentence, obviously bursting out the fire in his heart.
He may not like it, but what can he do.
He has nothing but admiration for a man who can stick to it for thirty years and has never left such a Protectorate of the Western Regions!
Comparing your heart to your heart, if you keep him here for thirty years, it is very likely that he has already gone crazy!
Xun Yu took a deep breath, and said: "Old man, may I ask if you are Zhang Yan, the chief historian of the Western Regions?
"Zhang Yan, the governor of the Western Regions?
The old man shook his head silently, and at the same time made way for everyone to enter: "He died ten years ago, he was bestowed to death by King Loulan!"
well!
After all, the elderly parents sighed.
Xun Yu was surprised: "What? Zhang Yan was bestowed to death by King Loulan?"
The old man nodded humbly: "That's right."
Pang De gritted his teeth: "This King Loulan is so courageous, he dared to kill the imperial court's long history of the Western Regions, he is simply impatient to live, this kind of person should send troops to destroy directly!"
Xun Ji asked anxiously, "Does that mean that King Loulan wants to be an enemy of the imperial court?"
The old man shook his head: "Actually, King Loulan was also forced. After the army withdrew, he didn't come back for five or six years. During this period, the Huns tried to attack the Western Regions, but unexpectedly they won consecutive battles."
"The countries in the Western Regions have repeatedly asked the imperial court to send troops to support the fight against the Xiongnu, but there was no response. In desperation, these countries have turned to the Xiongnu one after another."
"Later, what king of the Huns came? I forgot! He didn't know where he learned that Zhang Yan, the governor of the West City, was in Loulan, so he threatened the king of Loulan that if he didn't give him death, he would lead his troops to destroy him. Loulan."
