It is inevitable that the transportation of expenses from the big fellow to the western regions will pass through Liangzhou …
I smiled and shook my head again.
In my limited knowledge, there is also Ban Chao who can be associated with this official position.
Ban Chao has always been a positive and inspirational figure in history. Of course, he is best known for joining the army. He spent nearly half of his life in the western regionsI don’t want to learn from him and die of old age in a foreign country.
Since I arrived in Ban Chao, I personally visited my fatherinlaw Cai Yong.
Ban Chao?’ Cai Yong immediately understood my intention that there is a good husband in Ban Chao’s room, so I might as well read it.
I quickly followed him into the room with great joy.
Cai Yong rummaged for most of the day and found a roll of bamboo slips from a room full of bamboo slips, shook the dust and threw it to me.
I blew my breath and laid the bamboo slips flat.
Ban Chao made his mark in following Dou Gu to attack Xiongnu in World War I, so he got the opportunity to send envoys to the Western Regions. He was left to appease the Western Regions because of his outstanding performance in fighting wits and courage among Xiongnu envoys in the Western Regions.
After the death of Emperor Xuandi of the Han Dynasty, Ban Chao intended to return to China, but he was hugged by King Khotan and begged to stay in Ban Chao. Considering that the country had no chance, it was better to stay and continue fighting in the Western Regions.
I soon found a problem.
Judging from Ban Chao’s resume, most of the battles were fought by military forces from Shule, Khotan and other countries, and there were few cases of fighting alone. Even when Emperor Han sent Xu Gan to assist him later, less than 1,000 soldiers were sentand they were all prisoners who made meritorious deeds. The second time, he sent four people, including He Gong, to lead hundreds of military forces to help …
I can’t help but ask, How many people did Ban Chao take when he went to the Western Regions?
Cai Yong leaned in and glanced at the bamboo slips. There were only 36 people when I first went to the mission.
I shivered. What about being a nurse?
He looked at the bamboo slips carefully. There are more than 2,000 people in Xu Gan and 100 in Gongbai.
I grabbed the bamboo slips from him and stared at them in an attempt to find the shadow of the army through the cracks.
But it’s in vain
And … After working in the western regions for 30 years, Ban Chao got an official position when he returned to Chang ‘an … It turned out to be just shooting a captain!
So he died half a month later.
Cai Yong explained that the official positions of the Western Regions have always been more than 2,000 stones, but they have never been heavily armed.
So … I looked at him doubtfully. How can I appease the Western Regions?
Can you not see that you are wise? He sighed, I naturally joined the western regions when I was strong; When I was in chaos, the countries in the western regions regarded Duhu as something and attacked and killed Duhu.
I said slowly, So … where are my soldiers and horses? I’m worried about this problem now
Old … court since want to weaken the virtuous soldier nature won’t let you with a great army to the western regions Cai Yong had a besides … the court’s current reimbursement situation is also insufficient to support.
This is true.
Sili has been suffering from drought for two years in a row, and every year, it relies on other counties’ grain to barely maintain it. Where can I get extra food for me to make?
In Liangzhou … Marten has sent thousands of cattle and sheep to Liu Xie, and his own army has also been greatly streamlined. If he wants to raise my fifteen thousand cavalry and transport it to the western regions for a month or two, it may be possible, but for many years … Liangzhou is absolutely incapable.
I spit out one mouthful polluted air in my chest and got up to say goodbye to my fatherinlaw.
Cai Yong saw me out of the door and woke up earnestly. The countries in the western regions have repeatedly learned that from a strong and broadminded place, they are not virtuous, but they should establish more prestige and then govern.
I nodded and pulled the door for him.

When I got back to the mansion, I immediately called Wenwu for deliberation.
When we saw the mountain, we expressed our worries. Can I bring three or five thousand soldiers and horses to pacify the western regions?
Jia Xu asked, Did the imperial edict stipulate the number of soldiers?
I Zheng seems to have no
He spread his hands and smiled. Since there are no rules, what are you worried about?
Li Yuan also said that the imperial court is very special to Ma Da’s life, and the protection limit is very different.
I accepted this reason and asked, Is the grain and grass problem solved?
Now I’m not worried about money, but about foodsometimes money can’t buy food in this society.
Don’t worry, master, said Cheng Yu. The imperial court and Liangzhou really help your master too much, but your master can raise soldiers in the western regions.
wasteland? I am zheng.
He nodded. Reclaiming farmland does not violate the imperial edict.
I hesitated for a moment and clapped my hands. It should be feasible.
Cheng Yu cocked his mouth slightly. The tetrarch seems to have forgotten that the imperial edict made it very clear that’ it is a fake holiday to build an official capital to protect the government and command all military affairs in the western regions’
Sir, you mean … Jianya? I sink a way
