Outside the west gate of Chang'an City, Liu Zhang is bidding farewell to the army on the expedition to the Western Regions.

It is now March, and it is the best time to send troops.

The main general Ma Chao, the military adviser Fa Zheng, and 10,000 Liangzhou Jingqi all assembled.

"Meng Qi, Xiao Zhi, one of you is a general and the other is a mastermind, so I won't say any more!"

"There are more than fifty countries in the Western Regions, and the situation is extremely complicated. We must plan and move!"

Ma Chao and Ma Chao were inconvenient to salute because they were wearing armor, so they had to surrender.

"Follow Duke Qin's orders!"

"By the way, no matter how successful you are in the Western Regions, remember to fight the Da Yue Clan at most, and you must not go further south!"

Fazheng nodded solemnly, and took Liu Zhang's advice seriously.

Ma Chao was different, looking at Liu Zhang suspiciously.

"Duke Qin, why can't we go down any further?"

Liu Zhang didn't answer, he didn't want to say too much.

According to his memory, the current situation in Central Asia is very complicated.

If it was more than ten years ago, even Da Yuezhi would not be able to touch it.

The only good news is that the Guishuang Empire is currently in a stage of splitting.

However, Liu Zhang's cognition is not necessarily true, and there may be errors.

Considering that Ma Chao was stunned, and he might have to search for it himself if he didn't make it clear, Liu Zhang decided to briefly talk about it.

"Meng Qi, there is also a Guishuang Empire to the west of our Western Regions, which is very powerful."

"Kangju, Dayue, Dawan and other countries actually all belong to the Guishuang Empire."

After Fazheng heard this, he couldn't help but have doubts.

"Duke Qin, our task this time is to open up the passage to Dawan. What if the Guishuang Empire intervenes?"

Fazheng is not afraid of fighting, but a battle with a powerful force is very likely to expand the flames of war.

With Qin's current strength, it is not enough to increase investment in the Western Regions in the past.

"Xiaozhi doesn't have to worry. Guishuang is currently experiencing civil strife. If they don't go deep into their hinterland, they don't have the time to fight us."

What Liu Zhang is more worried about is that Ma Chao is addicted to killing in the Western Regions!

The cavalry came and went without a trace. If they went all the way south, they might be able to hit India!

But these are meaningless, and it is impossible for Liu Zhang to expand outside now.

"In a word, don't cause trouble and don't be afraid of trouble! No matter who provokes the authority of our big man, we will unswervingly annihilate them!"

"If you can't do anything, come back as soon as possible! I only want you two to be safe and sound!"

Liu Zhang considered again and again, and decided to give Ma Chao and Fazheng the greatest confidence.

When fighting abroad, the most taboo is to tie your hands and feet.

Fearing wolves before and fearing tigers later, not only will they lose their prestige, but they will also lose the little face left!

Anyway, isn't the whole army wiped out at most?

Liu Zhang can also afford to lose, as long as Ma Chao and Fazheng don't die in the Western Regions, it doesn't matter if they lose some soldiers and horses.

It's not too late to find Guishuang for revenge after the Han Dynasty is unified!

It's just that Liu Zhang didn't expect how much encouragement and touch the last sentence gave Ma Chao and Fazheng.

It was also at this moment that the two vowed in their hearts at the same time that they must make a career!

"Thank you Duke Qin, I will definitely rape and destroy Kucha and revive the Western Regions Changshi's Mansion!"

Qiucha is domineering and domineering in the Western Regions. If Qiucha is defeated, it will be completely meaningless to go west.

Ma Chao didn't intend to leave a way out for himself, so he uttered harsh words directly.

As the military advisor of the Western Expeditionary Army, Fazheng naturally couldn't fall behind.

"Duke Qin, if you don't break Kucha, you will never return to court!"

If you are timid before fighting, or have no determination to win, it will be difficult to achieve much in the end.

I am even more sorry for such a powerful combination of Ma Chao and Fazheng.

The arrogance exuded by Ma Chao and Ma Chao deeply infected Liu Zhang.

It reminded him of a poem, and he couldn't help singing it out.

"The yellow sand wears golden armor in all battles, and it will not be returned until it breaks Kucha!"

"Meng Qi, Xiao Zhi, I'm alone in Chang'an waiting for your triumphant return!"

Ma Chao and Fazheng secretly tasted the poems that Liu Zhang blurted out, and their blood boiled all over their bodies.

Without further hesitation, the two got on their horses.

"Duke Qin, take care!"

Ma Chao and Fazheng bowed their hands again, and then galloped away with 10,000 cavalry.

Not long after, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

Liu Zhang still stared at Ma Chao, Fazheng was heading away, see you next time, I don't know when it will be.

"My lord, could it be that you are worried about the two of them?"

At some point, Xun You came to Liu Zhang's side.

"It's Gongda..."

Liu Zhang still looked at the direction the army was leaving, and shook his head slightly after a long time.

"Meng Qi is a powerful general in the world, and Xiao Zhi is full of schemes. If Gu has no confidence in the two of them, who else does he have confidence in?" "After Liangzhou Jingqi went to the expedition, our Guanzhong troops are really stretched."

"Now let's not talk about coping with the battle, even self-protection... tsk tsk."

Although the establishment of Qin State established four major military regions, in fact, apart from the Eastern Army and the Imperial Guard Army, the other two military regions were in name only.

In particular, the Chinese army led by Zhao Yun has only a thousand veterans of the Wuqi Battalion.

The Northern Army was originally based on Wufengying and Liangzhou Jingqi. After Liangzhou Jingqi left, only the Wufengying with incomplete organizational system remained.

At present, almost all the mobile troops in Guanzhong are concentrated in the imperial guards.

More than 30,000 people, less than 40,000!

Now if there is really any war, Liu Zhang is the one who is really saying that every day should not be done, and the ground is not working!

Fortunately, these are elite soldiers with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

It may not be possible to conquer the outside world, but guarding the pass can barely cope.

"Duke Qin, don't worry. Cao Cao is currently dispatching troops to Hebei on a large scale, and the entire Sizhou has more than ten thousand troops."

"Although Tongguan has not been completed, Zheng Du has already stationed in a dangerous place. General Yan Yan has also led his troops to Wuguan."

"Although the Huns in Hetao are a threat, they have already been beaten to death!"

"In the next few years, Duke Qin doesn't need to worry, he can just sit and watch the princes of the world fight for hegemony in Chang'an City!"

In fact, Liu Zhang didn't have much worry in his heart, but after hearing Xun You's words of relief, he felt much more at ease.

"Gongda, you're here looking for Gu, but what's the rush?"

Today's farewell Liu Zhang did not arrange anyone to accompany him, so he just expressed his surprise at Xun You's arrival.

"Duke Qin, there is news about Jiang Wan from Yizhou."

"Oh?"

Liu Zhang suddenly became interested.

"The war horse was given to Liu Bei?"

"That's right, and after some bargaining, Liu Bei bought an additional two thousand horses!"

Seeing Xun You's excited look, Liu Zhang knew that he must have made a lot of money this time.

"How much did you sell it for?"

When Jiang Wan was leaving, he specifically asked Liu Zhang the price of selling war horses.

Liu Zhang didn't care about it at the time, and just let Jiang Wan figure it out.

It can't be lower than selling to Cai Mao, right?

What's more, these war horses are all waste horses that have been eliminated. For Liu Zhang, they are useless except for wasting food for feeding.

Although he didn't say anything, even if Jiang Wan sold it to Liu Bei for five hundred shi each, Liu Zhang would not say anything.

Xun You smiled again, then stretched out his hand and made a six.
