After staying in Yili for a while, the prince's car continued to travel westward. This time the prince invited Luo Siye to accompany him. King Yili refused on the grounds that the vassal kings were not allowed to leave the town easily, but the prince still sent a sect to recruit him to accompany him. In the words of the prince, Huang Bojiu was considered half the host in the Western Regions.

This time he went to the Three Emperors of the Caucasus to join the alliance, the prince was not willing to sign a letter just for the emperor, and he wanted more gains.

After leaving the Yili Valley and heading southwest, it is the Shuye River.

The Saiye River is 2,000 miles long and originates from the Tianshan Mountains. After irrigating the fertile Saiye River, it flows into the desert and eventually disappears into the vast desert.

The Sailed Yechuan is no worse than the Yili Valley.

However, the Suiye River lacks a favorable mountain and lake terrain barrier like the Yili River Valley. However, it is located on the ancient Silk Road Tianshan Road and is another Hexi Corridor on the northern Silk Road. The traffic location is prominent.

Especially after the imperial court recently increased the northern line of the Silk Road, it became the intersection of the two Silk Road main lines and was close to the important place of Yili. Therefore, the imperial court has continuously strengthened its control over Suoyechuan in recent years.

Originally, this area was enfeoffed to the Tuqi Shi tribe, but in recent years, the imperial court continuously infiltrated and strengthened its penetration by establishing a 20-mile-wide Silk Road Control Belt. Three years ago, a Saiye City imitated the Chang'an City was established by the Saiye River.

This 18-mile city of Saiye City can be said to be at the forefront of the Western Regions in terms of the size of the city, especially in Beiting Road.

From Kuchabachangcheng to the north, cross the Bodaling Mountains in the Tianshan Mountains, cross the Lingshan Mountains to Rehai, you can reach the Shattered Leaf directly, and from Gaochang to the north, cross the Tianshan Mountains to Yiwu, and then to the southwest, you can also reach the Shattered Leaf.

However, these two Silk Roads are actually very difficult and dangerous. It is much more dangerous to cross the desert, Gobi and snow-capped mountains than the other Silk Roads.

Prince Jiawen walked along the Suiye River and gained a deeper understanding of Siye's previous statement that there were too few Han immigrants.

In Gaochang and Yili, this feeling is not deep, because they are all court counties. After years of operation, each county has tens of thousands to 100,000 to 200,000 Han immigrants, and the Qin Dynasty's roads, post stations, military forts, and villages. All of them are Han immigrants along the way.

But when I arrived at Suyechuan, I found that the number of imperial castles and villages here decreased sharply, but there were only a few that were far along the Silk Road.

More of the Turkic vassal states were enfeoffed by the Tuqi Shi tribe, and there was less arable land here, mainly herders grazing cattle and sheep.

Many of the people in Tuqishi still retain the traditional hairstyles and clothing of their tribes, and even language customs.

This tribe is one of the five Dulu tribes of the Western Turks. Its division is strong and is now divided into five marquises by the court, each with one county, with twenty-five counties under its jurisdiction, and twenty-five counties.

The entire Tuqi Shi tribe has 300,000 people.

It is much stronger than the Shi Nishi, who once had 200,000 people. It is also the strongest force in Beiting Road north of the mountain today, and even stronger than the imperial court's north of Tianshan Mountain.

The Yili Valley, which is 2500 miles away, only 200,000 Han immigrants, but there are 300,000 Tuqi Shi tribes in Suiyechuan.

The imperial court's differentiation and Chineseization strategy of the Tuqi Shi department of Suoyechuan was average.

There has been no big progress for a long time. Although the Thunder Ye City was built, it is still unable to truly control Thunder Ye Chuan.

In Siye's view, "It will be a disaster sooner or later. I don't know when these people will get up and cause trouble. They are now crowded and obedient, but they are obedient and disobeying the court's sinicization policy. We open Confucianism here, and they are not very willing to send their children to study. The officials sent are even more like decorations."

"Is there any good way for the uncle?" The prince asked Siye. Siye was granted the title of Yili and had not left the vassal state for many years. He went to Beijing every year to meet the emperor and immediately returned to the vassal state after the matter was completed. The court established Beiting Road north of Tianshan Mountain, and sent three envoys and county prefects to take office. The road city was all located in Yili, the capital of Siye.

The three envoys of Beiting's ineffective control over Suo Yechuan was of course the officials' affairs. Although Siye was a famous royal family, he had no right to interfere, but the prince believed that he must have his own opinions.

"Actually, there is no good way. After all, the rushing cavalry is very strong. They are definitely not willing to be Chinese now. There is a simple and effective way, that is, fight a war, defeat them, and then you can do it. Then, you can flatten the balls and let us do it."

The prince frowned.

"But Huang Bo, you also said that Tuqi Shi is 300,000, and it is strong. If the war starts rashly, it is probably very dangerous. If the conquest cannot be settled quickly, you are afraid that the war will continue, block the Silk Road and destroy the peace of the Western Regions. If Tuqi Shi comes to contact and win over the Western Turks and Khasa tribes, you will be afraid of chaos in the Western Regions."

Siye didn't care.

"The saint asked His Highness to come. I believe that it was not only for the prince to sign a contract with the Caucasus Alliance, but also wanted the prince to take a look. Now the prince has also discovered some problems. So should the prince find a way to solve this problem? I think this may be the saint's painstaking efforts."

The prince was silent.

Indeed, he is the crown prince and the crown prince of the country. Now he is almost adult. Now he is on duty to patrol the emperor and finds a problem but does not solve it. This will inevitably disappoint the emperor.

But to solve the problem, he didn't know where to start. Siye said he would fight a war, but he was hesitant.

"Actually, as long as the crown prince is willing to make up his mind, we will have a chance now."

“How to say it?”

Siye smiled and said, Prince, you came all the way west, and when you set out from Luoyang, you brought 12,000 Lu Ben Army, and then all the places along the way were drawn with elite guards. When they arrived at the Western Regions, Gaochang, Yiwu, Yingshu, Shatuo, Yili and other counties, there are now 50,000 elite tigers around His Highness. This is a powerful elite. As long as you use it well, it is actually enough to destroy the Tuqi."

"What's the reason?" Jiawen asked.

"There are reasons why you really want to fight. Your Highness is now in Shuye City. You can summon all the marquises of Tuqishi. When the time comes, when the person arrives Shuye, your Highness will take the opportunity to attack, count some illegal things that have happened several years after they surrender, detain them, and then send troops to raid the tribes, and catch them off guard. The 300,000 Tuqishi people were not prepared and scattered everywhere, and that was just a pile of sand."

The prince fell into deep thought.

This is indeed a heart-warming proposal, but he was still a little hesitant when he started the war so rashly.

"If the prince has no confidence, then forget it, it doesn't matter if it's put it aside for the time being." Siye shook his head slightly and said.

"If you use troops, please ask the emperor and uncle to lead the planning, can you?"

"I'm not suitable." Siye shook his head.

The prince continued, "But the emperor and uncle are not confident and dare not take responsibility? Even if the emperor and uncle command the troops, the decision is still with me. I will be with the saints and the court to pursue the matter."

It is better to provoke the general than to ask for him. Siye did not expect that he was agitated by the prince instead.

Smiled.

"The prince has already decided, do you really want to fight?"

"I thought about it, the emperor's uncle is right. Since he is a patrol for the emperor, he must solve the problem if he finds it. There is no reason to leave it there."

"Okay, as long as the prince says he will fight, then fight." Siye couldn't help but feel full of enthusiasm!
