"The Master of the Secretariat has made me suddenly understand!" Li Guangli strode his hands and praised Zhang Yue.

The other Han generals also felt relieved.

As long as the stability of Loulan can be ensured, the Han army will always be able to control the White Dragon Dui, the key throat that enters and exits the Western Regions, and have the ability to march towards Pu Changhai at any time.

Zhang Yue sighed softly when he looked at it, feeling quite regretful.

In fact, the best choice is actually the first plan he proposed.

I used a Han man to exchange the roots of Loulan, and then spent more than ten or twenty years to change the birds in Loulan, reducing the original native Loulan population and turning it into a minority, allowing Han immigrants to occupy the majority.

In this way, the Han family can control this place forever.

What a pity...

This matter is contrary to the core values ​​of the Han Empire and cannot convince the emperor and the people of the world.

"But in the future, I may be able to continue to implement the strategy of changing cages and birds to Loulan people based on this plan..." Zhang Yue thought to himself.

The area where the Loulan Kingdom is located is approximately the east of Lop Nur in later generations. In this era, this place was not the Gobi Desert that was severely desertified and had no grass in later generations.

Today, the area of ​​Puchanghai (Lop Nur) is at its largest peak in history.

The winding Peacock River flows along the Loulan Kingdom to the entire Western Regions.

Both Han dynasties had large-scale farming in Loulan, and the local agricultural output was not weaker than that in Juyan and Zhangye.

The developed agriculture and animal husbandry made Loulan a well-known and prosperous place in the Western Regions.

As long as it is developed properly, this place cannot become a grain-producing area!

Not to mention that Zhang Yue still has a large space for killing weapons. In the future, it may be able to turn grasslands into fertile soil and turn this area into Guanzhong outside the Great Wall.

Hearing Li Guangli bowed: "If the Loulan matter is resolved, will Your Highness and the Minister be willing to lobby the government and support the punishment of Cheshi for the last general?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he looked at Zhang Yue and hesitated.

Stand out directly to stand up for Li Guangli? Support the plan for punishing Cheshi’s war?

This was a difficult choice for Liu Jin.

Should the punishment of the chariot master?

For Liu Jin now, this matter can be answered without thinking: It should!

But the problem is...

Can the national finance and people afford a war of such a scale?

The Yuwushui Battle in the fourth year of Tianhan has just ended for only five years! (Sorry, the previous article reversed the order of Tianhan and Taishi. I will correct it here. The Yuwushui Battle should have occurred in the fourth year of Tianhan five years before the first year of Yanhe, and the Taishi after Tianhan is)

Zhang Yue looked at Liu Jin's expression and immediately understood the other party's meaning. He went out and replied lightly: "Your Highness and the lower officials hate Che Shi and other anti-Han lowly people, and even agreed with Jun Hou and the generals and sects who requested to punish Che Shi..."

"The righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period is that the ministers do not seek thieves and do not write to bury them, and the subordinates of Cheshi help the evildoers to abuse them. All the subjects and husbands of scholars are filled with righteous indignation, wishing to break their bones and eat their flesh and blood..."

"But...there are difficulties in the country and people's livelihood are difficult. I hope you and the generals will think twice..."

"The army is mobilized, and it is a big deal. The officials and His Highness think that it should be to 'open up the fields, store more grain, rest and restore national strength'..." Zhang Yue bowed and said, "As for the attack on the unjust and punishing the thief, you can be postponed for several years..."

"Duke Xiang regained the hatred for nine generations, and the spring and autumn are great. Why should a gentleman take revenge for a while?"

Li Guangli's cheeks were twitching and feeling a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

The battle against the Cheshi and punish these Huns' lackeys and hawks were a grand strategy that Li Guangli thought hard and thought about every day after the Battle of Yuwushui!

In fact, the Cheshi Battle is just an introduction and an beginning!

What Li Guangli really planned was to completely destroy the Cheshi after the war started, and to establish a reclaim base similar to Luntai on the homeland of the Cheshi Kingdom, pushing the front line of the Han army from the Juyan area to Puchanghai all at once.

This will not only bring great guarantees to the production and life of the Juyan area, just like Changping Liehou recovering the Xinqinzhong (Hetao), the champion Jing Henghou captured Hexi, and transferred the war from the Han territory to the enemy territory.

As long as this plan is successful and once the strategic purpose is achieved, Li Guangli, the Haixi Hou, can compete with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and at least will become the strongest Han general after Wei Qing and Huo Qubing!

He gained both fame and fortune in an instant, and he would also step on the victory of the Cheshi War and become a great hero and hero that everyone admires and admires!

Wanting to become a great hero and hero is Li Guangli’s long-standing dream and ideal!

Besides, this matter is not just for him to benefit.

The country and the country can also benefit a lot!

The Kucha and Pulei countries split from Cheshi, Loulan and Gushi Kingdom are a city-state kingdom surrounding the Puchang Sea and the Peacock River.

The Puchang Sea and the Peacock River are the largest rivers and largest lakes in the eastern and western regions!

Water is the foundation for the living of the countries in the Western Regions.

Controlling Pu Changhai is equivalent to controlling the entire eastern and western regions.

In addition, they can even die of thirst in the dangerous dying of Yanqi and Weili's Xiongnu's servants and servants.

So in fact, Li Guangli's car master strategy is actually part of a huge strategy.

The punishment of the chariot is just the beginning.

The reason why he only came back to ask for the "punishment of the Cheshi" seemed to be just launching a retaliatory fight. In fact, it was to reduce the difficulty so as not to hesitate in the court's "Nonopian" (Huo Qubing said back then).

When he was authorized to lead the army to the war.

How to fight this war, isn’t he the final say?

I will not accept the orders of the outside king!

We can make several excuses, such as... In the process of punishing Cheshi, a Han cavalry "accidentally" and "lost" entered Kucha or Pulei countries.

In order to rescue this friendly army, the main force of the Han army was "forced" to enter Kucha and launch an operation.

Who knew that the Kucha people actually had no eyes on the emperor and even humiliated the "majesty of the Han family".

At this time, as a gentleman from the Xia Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, he could naturally take the banner of "Spring and Autumn Righteousness" and take further actions.

Can the three dukes and nine ministers in the Chang'an court still say that Li Guangli was wrong in maintaining the "righteousness of Spring and Autumn"?

This has always been a specialty for military generals to deal with civil servants.

At this moment, when Li Guangli heard Zhang Yue’s objection, he didn’t agree with it at all.

He even felt that this might be the selfishness of Zhang Shizhong.

People's livelihood difficulties?

He is a soldier and never considers this issue.

Since he joined the army, he has never worried about money and food.

He just cares about the war!

As for financial and logistics issues, that is something that the Grand Minister, the Shaofu Qing and the Prime Minister need to consider.

If he wants to consider these things, what should these nine ministers and three ministers do?

So, he just listened and knew the opinions of Zhang Yue and Liu Jin.

Now, the situation is very good.

Although the other party expressed his objection in a tactful way (in Li Guangli's opinion, it was probably because Zhang Zizhong wanted to lead his troops to fight to pinch the soft persimmon in the future), at least he did not object.

Not objecting means being kind-hearted!

With this attitude, he was relieved and satisfied!

As long as the upstart doesn't go to the emperor to cause trouble for his plan, he will have no worries.

As for financial difficulties? Lack of horses?

As long as the emperor agrees, it will be passed at the court.

Who dares to lack a hair from his army?

Back then, in the Battle of Tianshan, Gongsun He dared to detain Li Ling's troops' war horses, but he did not detain his army even a deer cart.

Why?

As long as he is the emperor's most trusted general, he can report that he can go directly to the Haixi Hou Ershi in front of the king without going through Lantai!

In this country, no institution dares to drag its supply supplies and supplies!

Therefore, Zhang Yue's reminder was not taken seriously at all.

Of course, on the surface, he was still very modest and bowed slightly and replied: "The minister reminds me that I will consider it more and more!"

But I don't care at all.

As long as you can fight and win battles in the Han Dynasty, the generals and marquises can really do whatever they want!

At that time, when the General Changping was in a prosperous state, he had five signs in one family, and even children who had just been born in the cradle could be granted the title of marquis!

When the Grand Sima champion Jing Henghou was proud, the envoy sent by the emperor to the army could kick it away, because the only reason was that the beef brought by the other party to the army was not fresh enough. The Grand Sima felt that he was very embarrassed...

Even the matter of throne can be finalized!

As a soldier, he is the most active commander and commander in the Han Empire.

Li Guangli knew that he should pursue military merits and must pursue military merits.
To be continued...
