The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 343

A lot of spices, docile slaves, a climate suitable for farming and a lot of land, the key is gold and silver everywhere.Just for this, not to mention Liu Xie, the breathing of other ministers was a little quickened.

"It's just that Shihui let us know about it so easily?" Naturally, some people questioned this.

"In Yuezhou, many people already know about this matter, and they plan to go to explore and trade together. This matter cannot be hidden at all. Maybe it will be later, and some business travelers may bring this news." Cao Cao replied that he had also considered this issue, but this matter may not be a good thing for the court.

The main reason why the Protectorate of the Western Regions was not opened in the past was that it was too barren, with thousands of miles of yellow sand, and it was not suitable for living at all.All the way to Dawan country, Da Yuezhi and Kangju country are like this, giving people an illusion that the west is like this.

Who would have thought that there would be a brand new civilization after passing Dawan Kingdom and going south, the key point is that the climate there is similar to that of the Central Plains, suitable for farming and settlement.

The big man stopped in Rinan County, not because he didn't want to continue to expand, but because he lost the direction of expansion. To the east is already a vast sea; to the north, with the technology of this era, a group of people will definitely freeze to death in winter; It is wild, and it is also close to the sea; not to mention the west, there are thousands of miles of yellow sand everywhere, and the Gobi Desert is not suitable for living.

So many people think that the only place in the world suitable for living is China, and there is no other suitable place to live outside of China.Then everyone fought back and forth to compete for limited resources, but now it seems that this is not necessary at all. Farther away, there may not be more land, and more resources can be competed for!
"Your Majesty, if there is a Western Expedition, it will be a problem to reopen the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Those countries have not communicated with the Han Dynasty for a long time. Our first task is to conquer these small countries. Then we will face the Dawan Kingdom. Even Emperor Wu has not conquered it, so it will not be easy for us to defeat it, let alone continue going south." Yang Biao stepped forward to remonstrate.

"You only need your Majesty to give me [-] cavalry, and I will definitely give you a pacified Western Region." Cao Cao said.

"Then Aiqing, how do you plan to pacify the Western Regions?" Liu Xie also had his considerations.

"Just like Shi Hui, the country was destroyed, and then everyone was reformed through labor, and at the same time, the Han people were relocated to live. Many refugees from Yanzhou fled to Guanzhong, which happened to be resettled in the Western Regions. After a long time, they naturally settled there. " Cao Cao replied.

"Why are you learning Shi Hui again?" Liu Xie frowned, not to mention whether it was feasible, but he was very annoyed by learning Shi Hui all the time.Don't these courtiers have some better ideas?

"Your Majesty, as long as the idea is good, no matter who comes up with it, it should be used. If a correct path is only negated for the sake of negation, then is it going to go further and further down the wrong path?" Cao Cao remonstrance.

"Shi Hui is indeed extremely cruel to the barbarians and Yue people. Isn't he afraid of rebelling against it? Besides, he is so cruel and unkind, and the people will gradually become violent. Where does benevolence come from?" Wang Yun directly denied it.

"Through enlightenment!" Cao Cao directly yelled back, "Managing newspapers and conducting publicity, that's all!"

"This..." Wang Yun was choked back immediately, Cao Cao seemed to be really willing to go all out, and the newspapers had already brought it up.You know, newspapers have always been a minefield before, because this will reduce the family's control over public opinion.

"Your Majesty, the newspapers and periodicals can be considered!" Zhou Yu stepped forward. Since Cao Cao had already taken the lead, there was nothing to worry about. "It is also a good thing that the people can hear more of His Majesty's voice!"

Liu Xie is not stupid, he immediately understood the benefits of the newspaper, but he was secretly annoyed, why didn't he mention it to him before?If it is allowed to run a newspaper, then Cao Cao's previous proposal is justified. The military rule of power and the political guidance of public opinion may really be able to completely pacify the Western Regions.

"Zhou Aiqing, what do you think of Cao Aiqing?" Liu Xie simply asked Zhou Yu.

"Cao Zhijin (Zhijinwu)'s suggestion is very effective, but I'm afraid it would be better to add a Sinicization assessment of labor labor. It is necessary to fully Sinicize the citizens of these small countries in the Western Regions, and completely abandon the previous customs and writing, so as to eliminate future troubles!" Zhou Yu's views are more thorough. Different from Shi Hui's Great China doctrine, he is a thorough Han supremacy.

"Good!" Cao Cao nodded. What's wrong with Han supremacy these days?

"Okay!" Liu Xie heard that the words were not in the ink marks, "just proceed in this way. I will allocate [-] soldiers to Cao Aiqing, including [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. The logistics and supplies will be [-] troops, as the initial team! Feng Zhi Jin Wu Cao Cao The General Zhengxi, the Protector of the Western Regions, is in charge of the military and political power of the Protectorate of the Western Regions! At the same time, transfer Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Li Jue, and Wang Ling to serve under Aiqing's command! Cao Aiqing, don't let me down! "

"Cao Cao should devote himself to the imperial court and die!" Cao Cao replied affirmatively.In fact, he knew better in his heart that Li Jue was transferred to his command in order to be able to transfer this disobedient general. As for Wang Ling, he was from the Wang family in Taiyuan, so he was just an eyeliner.

I have to say that His Majesty has grown up and seems to trust him, but in fact he has taken some precautions.If the expectations are correct, these [-] soldiers are probably not going anywhere as elites!I just hope it's not a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled!

Fortunately, Liu Xie did have integrity, and the soldiers who were given to Cao Cao were still in their prime, but they were all recruited not long ago and barely formed an army.If such soldiers were sent to fight the Shihui army, they would probably collapse as soon as they met face to face.

"Forget it, let's practice while fighting!" Cao Cao sighed, this is much better than the [-] soldiers he originally planned.

A few days later, after the materials were assembled, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan rushed back one after another, but Li Jue and Wang Ling came to report reluctantly.Later, Cao Hong and Cao Xiu came again. So far, Cao Cao had nothing to worry about, and began to send troops to the Western Regions.

At the same time, one thing shocked the world:
The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan finally came to an end. Gongsun Zan set fire to Yijing and died in the city. The Gongsun forces except Gongsundu in the west of Liaoxi, almost the whole of Youzhou fell into Yuan Shao's hands.When Gongsundu learned that Yuan Shao had killed Gongsun Zan, he sent someone to proclaim himself a minister, nominally joining Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao, who no longer has any worries, abolished the so-called "Liu Bian". Three times "reluctantly" accepted the abdication of "Liu Bian".

Originally, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in history, but in this world, it was Yuan Shao who followed the old path.Perhaps he also discovered that his enemy was too strong, and he had been trapped in Hebei for too long, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to fight against him.

There is no idea of ​​​​conquering the Central Plains, just occupying the land of Hebei, intending to draw the river and rule with the imperial emblem and the imperial court.And because earlier, he was conferred the title of "Duke of Jin", which is the title he was "conferred" after Shi Hui proclaimed the Duke.After proclaiming himself emperor, he naturally took the name of "Jin" and established the Great Jin Dynasty.

This news, with his ascension to the throne, quickly spread throughout China!

　Cao Cao set off, Yuan Shao proclaimed himself emperor!
