According to Zhang Liao, the world during this period should have four major empires, the easternmost side is the big man, and the west is the noble frost empire, the resting empire and the Roman Empire.

As for the current situation of these empires, Zhang Liao is not very clear, he only knows the name and approximate location, from the western countries, he knows that the adjacent noble frost empire is that of the Chinese population is very strong at this time, for more specific information, but also need to slowly investigate.

Now the Central Plains is undecided, Zhang Liao will not venture across the onion ridge to provoke other empires, good in the nearest to the Han Dynasty and the western region between the natural barrier of the onion ridge, so that the big man and the West are separated, even when the most chaotic and weakest time does not take the opportunity to attack the West.

Onion Ridge is the Pamir plateau, that is, the ancient myths and legends of the mountains, the Himalayas, Karakoram Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Tianshan Mountains, Xingdu Kush Mountains five major mountains gathered here, the mountains are rolling, continuous, snow peaks standing, towering into the clouds, over the extremely difficult.

More than a hundred years ago, the Great Moon Dynasty sent 70,000 troops, crossed the lushs to attack the class super, returned after the defeat, and never dared to cross the onion ridge again, which made Zhang Liao able to clean up the situation in the western region.

In fact, for more than a year, Zhang Liao has been cleaning up the situation in the western region.

A year and a half ago, that is, Jian'an three years of spring, when Zhang Liao, who was in Hebei Yicheng, received the book of the left Cifei pigeon, and the refined country was attacked by the good country, which was in danger.

Not to mention the factors of the state-owned left-wing and Su Ting, Zhang Liao was planning the western region at that time, but suffering from not having a suitable opportunity.

For the western region of such a multi-county region to send troops is a just reason, otherwise it will cause the local countries to have a sense of crisis and exclusion, with the enemy, then the western region will do more than enough, this is not what Zhang Liao wants.

And the letter of the left mercy can be said to have sent a pillow when Zhang Liao fell asleep, so that his mood suddenly opened up.

In terms of reason, in public and private, Zhang Liao did not have any hesitation, he immediately flew pigeons to pass the book, ordered Xu Rong and Fan, who had entered the western region, to play the banner of rescue and defeat the country with the lightning.

The name of the good country is Loulan, more than 1,600 miles away from Yangguan, and the former Han warrior Fu meiko killed Loulan King and his national name is Yanshan.

Thirty years east of the river in the west of the river, according to Zhang Liao received the news, in the chaos of Liangzhou, the western region cut off in the past ten years, the good country gradually became stronger, before the Han Dynasty about 15,000 people, and now the merger of a lot of small countries, the population has exceeded 30,000, which in the western region is already a superpower.

The location of the good country is extremely critical, guarding the southern entrance of the Silk Road, and occupying nearly half of the southern road, is the necessary control of Zhang Liao's operation of the western region, at this time the good country can be described as hitting Zhang Liao's gun.

After giving orders to Xu Rong and Fan, Zhang Liao quickly rushed to the western region with Xi Wei.

When they arrived in Liangzhou, news came from the western region, and Xu Rong and Fan had already won the country.

Zhang Liao received this news is not surprised, in fact, the good country is also in the western region, the whole of the good country has 30,000 people, can fight thousands of people, and Xu Rong and Fan Yan brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, the good country where can resist.

However, Zhang Liao laughed at the fact that this war left-handedness of this guy also came out, he directly sneaked into the city of the good country with his body, captured the king and a few generals, and gave it to Xu Rong and Fan, Xu Rong and Fan Yan attacked the city, and hung the king and those generals in front of him.

When Zhang Liao arrived in the western region, the good country was completely under control, and the first thing Zhang Liao did was to appoint the western region to protect.

Although they easily won the good country, in fact, it is not easy to really control the entire Western Prefectural Protection.

Because most of the land in the Western Prefectural Protection is a desert, that is, the Taklamakan Desert, compared with the desert of the entire western region, the area occupied by the oasis is very small, and the distance between the oasis and the oasis is very far, often reaching hundreds of miles, the middle is desert, the environment is harsh, and walking is very dangerous.

Also because the area of the oasis is mostly limited, the food that can be produced is very limited, and the army that each oasis can provide is very small, and the unique environment leads to the inability to have enough troops to unify the western region, so the western region is composed of a large number of independent small countries, with nearly 50 names, in addition to many horse bandits and tribal forces, countless.

After the establishment of the Western Prefectural Protection Agency, the former Han encountered this problem, the oasis produced limited food, the Han Dynasty is also unlikely to station a large number of troops in the western region for a long time.

The reason why Zhang Qian can convince the Western countries to defeat the Huns in the same period of Wei Qing and Huo's disease, and to show force to the western countries, the same Pan Chao can rely on the thirty-six followers to Dingxi, but also with the post-Han defeat of the northern Huns.

But they can not last, one is the phased decline of the Han force, the two is the importance of the Han people in the western region and the lack of governance, Han culture and Confucianism did not spread to this area.

Therefore, to truly integrate the western region into the Han map, governance and education are very critical.

Zhang Liao could not have stayed in the western region all the time, and if he wanted to control the situation in the western region, he must choose a person who can control the big picture to take care of the western region and handle the affairs of the western region.

This candidate is worth Zhang Liaofei's thinking, his staff can do a lot of, Hsin Yi, the teaching can do, but the center has just been established, the need for Jingyan and other people to rationalize, Jizhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou are just settled down, all need these people to sit in the town, temporarily should not be mobilized.

So Zhang Liao targeted a person, Tian Feng.

After the defeat of Yuan Shao, Tian Feng escaped a disaster under the covert protection of Zhang Liao's people, but although this person had talent, it was a calf.

Zhang Liao had previously stayed in Yicheng for the sake of calming Jizhou, and on the other hand, it was for Tianfeng.

He visited several times, and after talking deeply with Tian Feng, he knew that Tian Feng was ashamed of Yuan Shao's defeat and did not want to go out again.

However, Zhang Liao had already planned in his heart, he knew that Tian Feng did not want to go out of the mountain, mainly because of the problem of face, not to mention that before Yuan Shao and Zhang Liao were hostile relations, Tian Feng's trust in him is equal to the enemy, which is difficult for Tian Feng to accept.

Zhang Liaochao knew this, so he inadvertently mentioned the career of Ban Chao in the western region when he talked with Tian Feng, which was greatly praised, and talked about the vast world outside the western region, exaggerating the strength of the noble frost empire, and said that he deepened the external crisis faced by the big man.

Tian Feng's heart was reluctant to empty the old forest spring, listening to Zhang Liao talk about the western region and even the world outside the western region, can not help but feel the heart, hear the strength of several other empires, also can not help but awe.Zhang Liao took the opportunity to ask Tianfeng to serve as the guardian of the western region, open the territory, make the distant people to serve, and sow the Confucian education to the world outside the big man.

This is an internal contradiction passed on to the outside, enough to dispel Tian Feng's knot.

Indeed, Tian Feng did not refuse, and finally decided to go to the western region with Zhang Liao to teach Yi Di.

After arriving in the western region, Zhang Liao immediately appointed Tianfeng as the western region to protect, Yang Han as his own lieutenant, and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to assist Tianfeng in the western region.

Tian Feng is good at government affairs, strategy and means are first-class, but on the cross-section is worse, while Yang Han flexible machine change, seemingly thick and cunning, in the western region in dozens of countries in the complex environment is like fish water.

Zhang Liao also appointed Fu to be a long history of the western region.The Silk Road is divided into two north and south, from Dunhuang County, around the desert to the west, and combines with Shacha country.

In this way, the western region is guarding Tianfeng in the east, sitting in the town of Loulan, connecting to the west, turtles, and taking the good to the south.

Deputy West Governor Shi Fu is in the west, sitting in Shule, equivalent to the original position of Panchao, north of Gu Mo, captain, south of the Sha car, Yu Xuan, exquisite, and Tian Feng to take care of each other to ensure that the Silk Road is smooth.

As for the choice of volts, which naturally has other meanings, it is not enough for external people.

The appointment was followed by a thunderous military operation.

The great man has been in decline for more than a decade, and the countries in the western region will inevitably think that for these countries in these regions, the most effective means is a strong military deterrent.

First, then grace, fear, and then give it grace, teach it, in order to receive more effective work.

Zhang Liao's plan is that Xu Rong and Fan started from the north road and swept the front and rear of the coach, 焉瀆, and turtles.

At this time, the northern Huns had long been in decline, and the Wusun in the northern part of Tianshan was not small, but from two hundred years ago, it was divided into two kings, the inner turmoil, the chaos, there was no time for him to care, the front and rear of the northern Silk Road, the chauffeurs of the northern road, the hustle and bustle of the Huns, there was no backing, it was difficult to resist Xu Rong and Fan.

As for the South Road, after the good country and the elite state, the western big country is Yu Xuan and Shacha, by Zhang Liao with the canon and Yang Han personally recruited, and finally the north and south two roads in Shule, complete the control of the entire western region of the capital.

The more it is in the harsh environment of the operation, the more the advantages of the elite strategy can be highlighted, the less grain and grass, the high degree of mobility and flexibility, in the desert area where the oasis is scattered in the western region, a army of tens of thousands of people may not be compared with more than a dozen small units.

In particular, the tiger camp of Caunwei and Zhang Liao's own guard battalion are the best at small-strand special operations, which can be described as fish in the western region.

Even so, Zhang Liao did not dare to care.

He knew that the greatest threat to fighting in such a place as the western region was not the strength of the Western countries, but the great desert, one with bad disposal, and the non-combat attraction was far more terrible than the loss of battle.

There are too many variables in the desert, getting lost, water shortage, dust storms, and the most terrible stray sand in the Taklamakan Desert, so that your army is elite again, and once you are in these crises, you will die a lifetime.

Before the war, Zhang Liao equipped the two soldiers and horses with enough kettles, guide cars, compasses, maps, as well as medical teams and camel packs.

He also specially organized the army to carry out special training in desert warfare, first of all, how to combine the compass with the map to identify the road, and then the method of self-help in the desert camping, finding water, identifying sand, alerting sandstorms and many crises.

After three months of training in Loulan, the two news of the north and the south have been explored, and then the army is divided into two roads into the desert.

At the same time, the carnage also began to establish the first stronghold in Loulan, Zhang Liao came to the western region, not only with Su Ting and Cui Zhen, as well as Zhongshan Zhenshi, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, these large businessmen who had previously cooperated with Zhang Liao, were all moved by Zhang Liao, who came here and became part of the reconstruction of the Silk Road.
