During the 11th year of Jian'an, Feng Yu spent the Spring Festival in Loulan City. He climbed the towering tower in Loulan and looked around. To the south is the endless yellow sand desert, and to the north is the endless snow-capped Tianshan Mountains. However, on both sides are intermittent oasis.

Feng Yu suddenly sighed to the generals around him: "Do you know where we are now?"

Dian Qing was stunned and said, "This is Loulan City. Of course we are on the top of Loulan City." Feng Yu smiled without saying a word.

Zhang Liao replied, "This is the Western Regions. More than a thousand miles west of this place is the Pamir Mountains. If you pass the Pamir Mountains, you will be the national border of Kushan. If you go east, you will be Yumen Pass. If you cross the Tianshan Mountains, you will be the boundary of Wusun. It borders the Wanli Grassland in the north of the Mobei region in the east and north. Therefore, we stationed troops in Loulan, and we have the boundary of the ten thousand miles of the Western Regions."

Feng Yu praised: "Wenyuan's vision is indeed long-term. Yes, we have actually controlled the Western Regions now. It is only a matter of time before Ma Chao and Lu Bu and Li Su's Northern Prefecture Army storm the remnants of Wusun. Our vanguard should have reached the Pamirs and established outposts and camps there. However, we only occupied the Western Regions in a narrow sense. After passing the Pamirs, there was also a large area of ​​land belonging to the Western Regions, including the territory occupied by the Kushan."

Dian Qing suddenly said with some confusion: "Your Majesty, I have something to do. Although the journey from the Pamir Mountains to Loulan is long, it will not allow the Kushan Kingdom to send troops and soldiers to rescue Finason. If they gave up the Western Regions so easily, why would they have to connect with Wusun and travel thousands of miles to invade Liangzhou, the Han area of ​​our country?"

Zhang Liao also echoed: "I have thought about this for a long time and there is no conclusion. So I guessed that maybe the Kushan King was discouraged when he saw the Kushan soldiers and Wusun Army who were defeated in the eastern and western regions, and changed his mind and gave up the Western Regions."

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "The Kushan national strength is so strong that you can't imagine. They will never give up their established goals because of a few defeats and losing thousands of troops. Although Gu does not know the actual reason, Gu is sure that in most cases, Kushan is entangled with foreign enemies in other directions, and it is difficult for them to concentrate on dealing with the Western Regions."

After hearing Feng Yu's words, Zhang Liao suddenly nodded with enlightenment. Feng Yu was not wrong. At this time, Kushan was being attacked by the slaughtered people who called themselves "White Xiongnu" on the northern grassland. Moreover, the Zhuluo Kingdom, who was poisoning the south, worked hard to calm the rebellion everywhere. Seeing that something happened in the northern territory of Kushan, he also took the opportunity to attack Kushan. At this time, Kushan still had the energy to free up his hands to manage the affairs of the Western Regions. However, Feng Yu is not in the capital now and cannot read the Tang newspaper summarized by all parties on a daily basis, and does not have any grasp of these news.

A soldier rushed up the city tower and shouted from a distance: "Report! Our advance camp arrived at the Pamir Pass five days ago. At the pass, they did not encounter any Kushan soldiers. Now they have begun to set up posts and camps at the Pamir Pass."

Feng Yu nodded and said to Zhang Liao: "At this time the overall situation of the Western Regions has been settled. In the future, envoys from small Western Regions will come to Loulan and bow to Liang. Of course, there must be small countries in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains that are unwilling to submit to Liang, but they are not afraid. Once the army arrives, they will naturally be destroyed." Then Feng Yu's face suddenly became serious and he said in a higher tone: "Zhang Liao obeys the order!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he hurriedly bowed his head and obeyed. Feng Yu continued: "From today, the Liang State will establish the Military Town of the Western Regions. Ru is the governor of the military town, and is in charge of the military and civil affairs of the countries south of Mount Altai, west of Yumen, north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and the military and civil affairs of each city."

Zhang Liao paused, but still happily promised: "Zhang Liao received the order."

Feng Yu smiled and said, "I only set up a military town in the Western Regions, but I don't have a Western Region Chief Envoy's Mansion because the Han court also had this brand, so we cannot transcend the system in form. I will feel wronged. But in fact, you are the same as Lu Bu, the Mansion of the Northern Region Chief Envoy."

Feng Yu saw Zhang Liao's eyes look a little strange, guessed what Zhang Liao had, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Wen Yuan, Gu knows that you still have elders in Chang'an and need to be filial, and they cannot come to this desolate place in the Western Regions. But don't worry, Gu will not put you in the Western Regions for a long time. When Ma Chao matures, you can go back to Chang'an."

Zhang Liao hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, the king is for thinking about it. How dare Zhang Liao not obey the order?"

In the spring of the 11th year of Jian'an, Feng Yu arranged all the matters in Liangzhou, the Western Regions, and returned to Yibin...

...

The Liang State merged with Liangzhou, destroyed Wusun, and drove away Kushan. The incident spread throughout the Han border from a corner of the northwest. The world was once again shocked by the actions of King Feng Yu of Liang...

In Yecheng, in a remote small room in the palace of the King of Wei, Cao Cao, whose hair and beards had begun to be gray, knelt on the ground alone, looking at the map hanging on the wall without saying a word. The map was outlined by colorful pigments, indicating the territory ranges of several major princes.

He picked up a brush from the desk, dipped it in the ink inkstone with green fuel, and raised his hand toward the map.

After finishing the painting, he threw the brush on the table and said with a little anger: "Feng Yu's territory and strength are getting bigger and bigger. At that time, two of the nine princes have now been transferred to him. He has occupied one-third of the world, not to mention that he is still expanding territory and expanding territory in other places, which makes him even more wings..."

When Cao Cao said this, he did not notice that a person had quietly come from the courtyard outside the room, standing there waiting. Because it was spring, the room was open to the courtyard, so Cao Cao's words were clearly heard by the man. This person was Cao Cao's first counselor Guo Jia. He had privileges in the palace of the Wei King, and he could enter the palace to meet the King of Wei without Cao Cao summoning orders.

At this time, Guo Jia coughed softly to remind his master. Cao Cao then realized that someone had turned around and saw that it was Guo Jia. He said happily: "It turns out that he is a filial piety. You are here just right. I have important matters to discuss with you."

Guo Jia immediately responded: "Guo Jia has heard all the words of the king. The King of Wei is worried about the rapid expansion of Liang's strength."

"Yes. Gu made a wrong decision in recent years. He allowed Liang's territory to expand. Gu thought that expanding the south and northwest areas would make him lose more than he could. Because those places did not produce grain, and there was no large number of people who could turn into Xia. Moreover, these areas were either full of miasma or were bitter and cold all year round. It was extremely difficult to replenish the logistics supply in these places, and it was inevitable that a large number of soldiers would be damaged. Unexpectedly, the Liang army surprised Gu. They did not suffer much loss, but achieved great results. Although these places could not produce grain, and even the conquered barbarians and Hu people did not pay taxes, the merchants who came and went provided Feng Yu with a steady stream of wealth. More importantly, Feng Yu legitimately annexed Yizhou and Liangzhou."
