Although there is also a cell in Wuji City, the defense is not tight. It is okay to deal with some petty thefts. It is not enough to deal with professional spies like Jokama. Therefore, Jokama and the others The women were to be escorted to Chang'an, but Serica’s identity was too special, Liu Xin did not dare to put them together, specially allocated three thousand cavalry to send him to Chang'an overnight, and informed the military stations along the way to make a response. Make sure to be foolproof. If you encounter someone intercepted or Serica wants to escape, you can kill it on the spot.
When Selika was taken away, it was almost noon, and the weather was getting hotter. Liu Xin also lost his leisure time to wander around Wuji City. After calming down, Liu Xin also began to reflect on how far away from Chang'an this time he was. Whether the behavior was proper, but he quickly forgave himself. Kang Ju has clues about his woman. Anyway, this woman may have given birth to a child for him. He can’t abandon his woman and child. The ancients said However, how can you sweep the world without sweeping a house? If Liu Xin can't even protect his own women and children, how can he protect thousands of people, thinking of this, Liu Xin is relieved.
In the afternoon, Jia Xu rushed over from Qiuci. He came here to report to Liu Xin about the situation of the Western Regions Protectorate. Unexpectedly, after hearing about Serica, he frowned and said : "Your Majesty's disposal is improper,"
Liu Xin was quite able to accept different opinions. He did not act but was not happy about Jia Xu's objection. Instead, he asked humbly: "Then what should be done with the view of the text and harmony,"
Jia Xu pondered for a moment, and said: "The minister has been in the Western Regions for a long time, knowing that Da Qin is a powerful country in the West. Selika's status in Da Qin should be equivalent to that of our Da Han's cabinet minister. Such an important figure has disappeared in the Western Regions. I will definitely not give up. If they send someone to ask for it, how will your Majesty respond? You have ordered that his hamstrings and hamstrings be broken."
Liu Xin thought for a while and said, "This is easy. Serica came to the Western Regions quietly, and is not an upright messenger. Since he has concealed his identity, it is not my big man's business to die here."
Jia Xu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Da Qin is a powerful country, not comparable to the small neighboring countries, and the minister also heard that Da Qin people are very warlike."
In fact, Jia Xu is not a person who likes to talk a lot. In history, he would come out to offer advice only during a very critical summer vacation. Keeping a low profile is actually a kind of self-protection. Killing disaster, but he is now the Protector of the Western Regions. If the war between Dahan and Daqin is caused by Serica, the Western Regions will be the first to bear the brunt. He must take responsibility for the safety and stability of this place.
Liu Xin shook his head, and said, "Da Qin is a powerful country, and we are not weak. We can only get peace for a while, but not the peace of a lifetime. Selika's ambition is already born. If you let him go, On the contrary, it will be exchanged for Da Qin people's contempt for our Dahan, and I am afraid that it will cause war even more. I don't want to fight Da Qin, but if Da Qin dares to attack, I will tell them to come back and forth."
Seeing that Liu Xin had decided, Jia Xu turned to report on the situation in the Western Regions. Due to the reopening of the commercial roads, the Western Regions had undergone earth-shaking changes in just one year. Liu Xin also saw these along the way, but There are also things that Liu Xin didn’t know, and that’s what Jia Xu focused on reporting.
Most of the kings and people of the Western Regions supported the return to the rule of the Han Dynasty. After all, the benefits are there. Their lives are like a day. However, some aristocrats feel that their power has been weakened and instigate the people who don’t know the truth. , Clamoring to break away from the rule of the big man and restore independence, Jia Xu has always taken a tolerant countermeasure in order to maintain the stability of the Western Regions.
Liu Xin couldn't help but think of some separatist forces in later generations, but in this era, Islam has not yet emerged, and there are no slogans such as jihad. Those nobles' independence is based entirely on their own self-interest. Liu Xin doesn't think it is too difficult. To deal with it, he waved his hand and said, "I can't bear these people. I can only take resolute measures to crack down on them. I authorize you. In the future, anyone who clamors to break away from the rule of the big man will ransack their homes."
In fact, Jia Xu was also quarreled by those nobles. He didn’t want to be true. It was just a matter of great importance. He didn’t dare to make claims. Now that he got Liu Xin’s promise, Jia Xu immediately took it out of his arms. A list came out, and he said, "Your Majesty, please see, these twenty-odd people are the most violent people."
Liu Xin glanced at the list and said, "These people are all powerful Western Regions,"
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Yes, they are all powerful Western Regions,"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "If there are no ordinary people, it would be easier to confiscate all of these people's property. Men who are taller than the wheel beheaded in the street, and women and young children are used as slaves. The charge is for intent to treason."
The Han people rarely used these methods in the past, and only Liu Xin would use them when dealing with the nomads on the grasslands. Of course, the Dahan also used a lot of torture, and they would also afflict the tribes and the ninths, but these Western powers were noisy and noisy. Just staying on the lips, did not take action, but Jia Xu did not expect Liu Xin to commit a murder, and couldn't help but be shocked, and said, "Your Majesty, is this punishment too heavy?"
Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "Everything must be prevented. They are just noisy. If you don't be ruthless, I'm afraid they will raise the flag in rebellion before long. I will never allow every inch of the big man's land to be split. , And no one is allowed to divulge the secrets of the big man, but anyone who does so will be punished as treason."
Jia Xu sighed, took the list back to his arms, and said, "I'm afraid that this will arouse civil rebellion. Please think twice."
"Which of these nobles is clean on the ass? Don't rush to kill them after you catch them. The first trial will be done. Then the charges will be announced. You can see. There will be several people following them. "Liu Xin waved his hand disapprovingly, and asked suddenly, "Wenhe, the officials of the Western Regions Protectorate may stay overnight in the brothel."
Jia Xu's face turned red involuntarily, and he said Ai Ai: "Returning to your Majesty, most of the officials and family members are not here. It is inevitable that you can't help being lonely. It's natural to visit the brothel, your Majesty..."
"Wenhe, I'm afraid you won't go less," Liu Xin laughed, and suddenly said with a serious face, "Qin's spy Qiao Kama has a plan to extract secrets from my big Han officials by opening a brothel, but this is unavoidable. , I want to be a pilot in the Western Regions. For the more than 20 people on your list, their family members are all serving as official prostitutes. From now on, officials of the 7th rank and above of the Western Regions Protectorate will not be allowed to go to private brothels, only official prostitutes. "
Prostitutes are a very ancient profession. Although the Han Dynasty did not prohibit prostitutes, there were a small number of official prostitutes in the past, but they were mainly engaged in folk art performances, which belonged to the kind of selling art but not selling themselves. Now Liu Xin publicly asked Jia Xu to open a brothel-like establishment. Such official prostitutes made Jia Xu dumbfounded, but Liu Xin understood that these officials far away from home also have their practical needs. It is not something you can prohibit if you want to prohibit it. He can only set up a way to educate him. However, Liu Xin is still not sure how effective this is.
Jia Xu’s every move of these tycoons of the Western Regions was already in Jia Xu's grasp. He only needed to follow the diagrams, and quickly grabbed them. He didn’t even miss any of them. As a result, under investigation, these tycoons of the Western Regions were really problematic, not robbing them. Males and females are carrying their lives. If they are all executed, they may be wronged, but if every two people kill one, there is absolutely no wrong case.
What makes Jia Xu even more unexpected is that after the female relatives of these people are used as official prostitutes, the official visits to the private brothel are naturally less, but what is even greater is the deterrent effect on others. Many officials and powerful words and deeds. They have become more cautious, not just confined to the rebellion against the court, even the number of rapists has been greatly reduced. After all, these tyrants and officials are very familiar with each other. Now seeing the wives and daughters of former friends or colleagues end up like this, And you can meet often, who dare not to wake up secretly, of course, these are all things to follow, let’s just click here for the time being.
In the evening, there was another battle report from Chang'an, and Ma Yun really thought of adjusting the Fifth Army to the north.
On this day, Cao Jun’s offensive became more and more fierce. The corpses in Hulao Pass were piled up like a mountain and blood flowed into rivers. More than 3,000 people were injured or killed. The general Wenpin has been sent to Hulao Pass, but , If Cao Jun continues to attack like this regardless of casualties, how many days Hulao Pass will last, no one can say.
Under such circumstances, it is urgent to attract Cao Jun’s attention to relieve the pressure on Hu Lao Pass. In fact, even if Hu Lao Pass is broken, it will be very difficult for Cao Cao to attack Chang'an because there is a stronger letter. Guguan, but Ma Yun didn’t want the city of Luoyang that had been built with great pains to fall into the hands of Cao Cao, so she gave the order to guard the Hulao Pass at all costs.
At this time, Yuan Jun, who was besieged hundreds of miles south of Yecheng, was under the command of General Yue Yi, calmly challenged. Xu Huang could hardly divide his troops to the south for a while. To achieve the goal of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, he had to transfer the Fifth Army to the north.
The Fifth Army took on the important task of defending Jiangnan, and it dared not to use this army to prevent Cao Cao from taking advantage of the virtual south and destroying the tranquility of Jiangnan. In desperation, Ma Yun thought of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, so he would be in Yangzhou and Jiaozhou. The Dahan naval forces trained along the coast were re-transferred into the Yangtze River. With Dahan naval forces patrolling the Yangtze River day and night, the second army Cao Yuan, who is not acquainted with water warfare, has absolutely no possibility of going south.
However, after discussing with Jushou, Tian Feng, Guo Jia and others, Ma Yun still made a major decision to abandon the three counties of Jiujiang, Lujiang, and Runan if necessary. For this reason, Ma Yun has sent people to Qiao Xuan's family was picked up to Chang'an,
At the end of the battle report, Ma Yun also mentioned that Ganning’s navy made a major discovery during training.
