In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 664

golden city.

The sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the river is long.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

In the palace, a group of subordinates gathered.Among them, there are relatives of Zhao Shuang, the former troops of Zhao Guo's frontier army, and people from Hu Yi and Yuezhi.

Because it is located at a commercial road node, Jincheng's business is prosperous.At the same time, Jincheng controls the vast land in the east of the Hexi Corridor, and a large number of cavalry troops are stationed around it.

Many of the subordinates in the palace are generals of the cavalry army.

Zhao Shuang waved his hand, and more than a hundred officials in the palace straightened up.

"Today has been decided, and the world is at peace. Everyone should perform their duties and not slack off."

"promise!"

Zhao Shuang returned to the fief, and after meeting all the subordinates in the fief, most of them withdrew.

The temples in Jincheng have been re-expanded, and high pavilions have been built in accordance with the Chinese style.However, Zhao Shuang brought the remaining people back to the original palace.

The brick-and-stone temple is like a fortress, with narrow and winding corridors. People climbed to the top of the temple, and through the holes in the tower, they can see the bustling scene outside the palace city.

"How's the military situation?"

Among the crowd, Xin Zhao is the leader.

"The number of cavalry has reached 150. There are 350 army villages, [-] pastures, and [-] horses..."

This number is quite large.You must know that even in the past, as powerful as Chu and Zhao, it was only a big country that "ridden ten thousand horses".

Jincheng is only Zhao Shuang's residence, but the sphere of influence under its jurisdiction is quite vast, almost covering the eastern part of the Hexi Corridor and extending northward to the foot of Qilian Mountain.

This area is vast and sparsely populated, there are not many cities, and most of them are nomads.Infantry can guard the city walls, but cavalry is needed to subdue the surrounding barbarians.

These more than ten thousand cavalry are just the cavalry of Zhao Shuang's headquarters, not counting the scattered cavalry of Hu Yi who are attached to them.

"Your Majesty, over the years, the power of the Huns has recovered, and their soldiers and horses have been harassing them from time to time. Not long ago, their rangers even touched a hundred miles north of Jincheng. I am worried that it will be very troublesome in the future."

The [-] Anxi Town Army guarded Longxi and Beidi, but the main force of the Anxi Town Army was heavy armored infantry, which lacked mobility.

This army guards important cities on the border and maintains roads, but it cannot prevent small and medium-scale harassment and looting.

It was this kind of small-scale military operations that the Huns were good at.

Zhao Shuang nodded and said.

"Ever since the Xiongnu lost the royal court in Qilian Mountain, they have been trying to regain it all these years. With the recovery of power, they want to go south again. Once they regain Qilian Mountain, their rangers will definitely go south again."

After all, the area around Jincheng is sparsely populated and there are many caravans. If the Xiongnu forces infiltrate on a large scale, the cost of caravans will inevitably rise, affecting the prosperity of the entire business.

"However, with the progress of the Baiyue War, the empire will take action against the Huns in the north and push the empire's border to the Yinshan line. In this way, the surrounding area of ​​Jincheng can be stabilized."

……

After the discussion, everyone withdrew from the tower, leaving only one person.

Li Zuoche!
Li Zuoche was the only one who didn't speak when discussing Jincheng's military situation and civil affairs.

Li Zuoche took Zhao Jun's main force to the northwest.Among the more than [-] Jincheng riders, many riders are former frontier generals.

However, Li Zuoche is usually cautious in his words and deeds.After all, in this golden city, there are many generals from Zhao Shuang's relatives and Qin family.

Zhao Bianjun was among them, which was actually a bit embarrassing.But get along, but there is not much conflict.

"For more than ten years, this former frontier town has had such a grand scene."

"In the past, the six countries in the Kanto region also had such a grand scene, but within ten years, they have all been wiped out."

Zhao Shuang turned around with a smile on his face.

"Brother Zuo Che, if you don't say anything, it's astonishing!"

Li Zuoche bowed his hands and saluted.

"I hope you will forgive me."

"It's just you and me here today, but it doesn't matter."

"Your Majesty said just now that the world has been settled. This is not wrong, but the world is not necessarily stable."

Zhao Shuang walked back and forth in the room, but Li Zuoche stood still and said.

"The expulsion of the Xiongnu from the north may not have much effect. The Xiongnu originally lived scattered, but the empire launched a large-scale military war, defeated the Xiongnu, and captured Yinshan. After more than ten years, when the Xiongnu regained their vitality, It will also go south again, causing border troubles. It is easy to start a war to wipe out the Xiongnu, but it is very difficult to completely solve the Huns. I guess, Your Majesty still has something to say just now."

Zhao Shuang stopped and looked at Li Zuoche with a smile on his face.

"After the empire seizes the Yin Mountain, it will take advantage of the mountains and rivers to connect the Great Wall of Yanzhao to build a Great Wall in the north. However, this matter has not yet been officially put on the agenda."

After hearing this, Li Zuoche realized something.

"That's right. This matter can't be decided so easily, even within the empire, I'm afraid there will be voices of opposition."

It cost a lot to launch a large-scale war to expel the Huns.But compared to building a Great Wall along Yinshan Mountain later, that is nothing.

Where does the money, food and manpower come from?After winning Yinshan, how to manage that piece of land?
"The great affairs of the empire are decided by the emperor alone. What happens in the end cannot be controlled by others. What I want to say is the situation of the emperor before this!"

Li Zuoche cupped his hands again and said two words.

"Shushan!"

Zhao Shuang looked at Li Zuoche and stopped.

"The forces within the empire and forces outside the empire have already colluded with each other. In the future, there will be more such things. The Xiongnu, Yuezhi, Shushan, and even Guanzhong, no matter which direction changes, business will inevitably be affected. The other party wants to cut off the king's source of wealth, so as to leverage the power of the king and make the power of the king collapse. Although the matter of Shushan is small, it is terrible but it is just the beginning."

"Brother Zuo Che thinks what?"

"There will be no changes in the Guanzhong side in a short time. The Shushan matter is difficult, and the emperor must have dealt with it. The Huns regard the emperor as their enemy and have to get rid of it. But the Yuezhi side is quite troublesome."

Li Zuoche has been in this western region for a long time, and he is quite familiar with the surrounding situation.

"As Queen Yuezhi grows up, Yuezhi's national strength recovers. Many people in Yuezhi's country are dissatisfied with the emperor. Many of these people are high-ranking and powerful, and they control a large number of soldiers and horses. These people are now guarding the Western Regions. Our allies may stand against us in the future. I am worried that sooner or later this force within the Yuezhi will collude with the Xiongnu and the forces against the emperor within the empire, causing a great chaos."

"Brother Zuo Che is right. That's why I rushed back to Jincheng in such a hurry. I'm afraid these three forces have colluded together."

Outside the Yuezhi King City.

In the dense forest, the man in black walked forward step by step, and finally at the end, he saw a ghost.

"You are Tudor!"
