I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

No one knew what was in Li Guangli's kettle, not to mention him, even the confidantes he brought out were already unconscious at this time.

However, Liu Tan didn't have one size fits all. He also sent someone to investigate who Li Guangli had under his command. If there was a good reputation, he wouldn't mind giving it a chance.

The result was not beyond his expectation. Li Guangli was surrounded by young talents. Except for the queen's family, basically other relatives were despised these days.

Even Wei Qing is unavoidable, he still has a real great meritorious service.

Therefore, most of the people around Li Guangli were speculators, and they had no other choice but to see if they could get a ride with this fake relative.

Of course, those who can follow thousands of miles to the outside of the customs are somewhat ruthless, but their reputation is not obvious. Liu Tan watched for a long time and didn't see any familiar names, so he simply ignored them.

After waking up the next day, Liu Tan called all the people in. Of course, the number of people is a little small. At present, they are Huo Guang, Jiang Chong, Li Buyan, and Wei Buyi.

But this is enough to make Liu Tan feel relieved, at least he has reached the passing line of a general and three lieutenants, right?

After everyone sat down, Huo Guang asked, "Where's General Li?"

Liu Tan smiled and said: "General Li traveled long distances for several days, and yesterday he drank some wine to blow the wind. He is resting now, so we don't need to bother him."

Wei Buyi, who also traveled long distances to drink and blow the air: ...

He remembered that when he arrived, the cousin of the crown prince said to him very worriedly: "My brother is gentle in nature. I may have suffered a lot on this trip to Wusun. Now he is attacked again. I think he was frightened. When you saw him You must appease him a lot, and then urge Li Guangli to come back quickly, if Li Guangli refuses, you can bring him back first, don't worry, protecting the prince is also meritorious."

At that time, Wei Buyi always felt that the fifth prince was not a threat to him when he heard the tone of the prince's cousin, but the younger brother of his mother and compatriots. What kind of ecstasy soup did the fifth prince pour into the crown prince's cousin?

Now Wei Buyi is even more sure that his prince cousin is probably being cheated, this is not gentle, this stomach is full of blackness!

Wei Buyi, as the accompanying captain, went to see Li Guangli in the morning. When he passed by, Li Guangli had already woken up, but he was still not sober, and said that he had a headache, and then he was caught by an attendant whom Wei Buyi didn't know at all. Filled with a glass of water.

Oh, the attendant said it was water, but with Wei Buyi's sense of smell, he doubted that the thing he took was the same as what Li Guangli drank last night.

Li Guangli probably didn't smell it, and he took a breath when he took it, and then he was choked and almost coughed to death. When he recovered, he rolled his eyes again and fell on the floor.

Wei Buyi was a little scared at the time, couldn't help but went over and touched Li Guangli's neck, and felt his heart beating before he felt relieved.

Wei Buyi was just silent, and he wasn't really stupid. At this moment, he also understood that Li Guangli must have been assassinated by the Fifth Prince.

It's just that the Fifth Prince didn't directly ask for his name.

Also because of this incident, Wei Buyi, who was originally a quail, became even more quail at this time, wishing to hide from the tent—look at this tent, except for him, who was sent to the Western Regions with the fifth prince from the beginning, now With one more him, will people mistakenly think that he is here to take credit?

But the other three didn't take him seriously at all, they haven't done anything yet, and they haven't killed the enemy yet, it's a ghost's credit!

After confirming that Li Guangli would not hinder their work, Huo Guang said: "I took a closer look at the map that His Highness asked Kai Guan to draw before, and now the closest to us is Che Shiguo, followed by Huhu, and then Jieguo, and the location of Jieguo is very close to the Xiongnu."

Liu Tan asked, "How is the situation in these three countries?"

Huo Guang shook his head: "After all, we don't know much about the Western Regions. The only thing we know more about is the Cheshi Kingdom. After all, this is an important strategic place. It is the gateway for the Xiongnu to enter the Western Regions, and it is also the gateway for us to enter the Western Regions."

Liu Tan knew about Che Shiguo, and he even knew that from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty fought fiercely here, and it was known as the "Five Fighting Cheshi" in history.

Later, it was the civil strife of the Huns during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Some of the sages who were chasing the king of the day turned to the Han because they failed to compete with the usurping King Youxian. It also divided the Cheshi country into the front and rear Cheshi countries.

During this process, the history books did not record what was going on in Cheshi Kingdom, how many people they had, and what their king's tendencies were.

No one seems to pay attention to this country, which is often confronted with wars because of its important location.

Liu Tan originally thought that it might be due to the lack of historical materials of later generations and the fact that countries in the Western Regions basically did not have any writing, so they were not recorded.

As a result, he never expected that even at this time, he didn't know much about Che Shiguo.

However, if it was the past, Liu Tan might still sympathize with this country, but now...the wounded barracks are full of wailing every day, and Lu Xuan's wounds haven't even healed yet, let him forgive Che Shiguo?Dreaming.

Liu Tan subconsciously rubbed the jade pendant on his body, pondered for a while and said, "In that case, let Che Shiguo let it go first."

Since it is a place that must be contested, directly mobilizing troops against Che Shiguo is equivalent to fighting for the throat. The Xiongnu cannot sit idly by, and the big man is not yet ready to fight, so this matter must be put aside .

Huo Guang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, but...we only have five thousand troops, so even with little Kunmi's assistance, we need to think long-term."

Liu Tan said: "Know yourself and the enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Now we know too little. When I ask Lu Xuan, you first gather your troops and horses to mobilize before the battle."

After Liu Tan finished speaking, everyone present was stunned for a moment. After everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Li Buyi was a little more casual with him, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, pre-war mobilization... what is it?"

Liu Tan got stuck for a while, and after thinking about it seriously, he said, "Just...inform them that they are going to fight, and get ready, and give them some hope by the way. After all, they probably didn't expect to go to war when they came out."

Li Buyi smiled and said: "Your Highness, this is wrong. These soldiers are guarding the border, and they have to deal with various emergencies from time to time. They are always ready at Yumen Pass, so let's not talk about it here."

Liu Tan was silent for a while, then sighed: "It's not easy."

He broke up the meeting while talking, Huo Guang took a step slowly on purpose, and when everyone went out, he turned his head to Liu Tan and said worriedly: "Your Highness, we are all inexperienced, I'm afraid the following masters of hundreds of battles will not be convinced. "

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows: "Does Li Guangli have experience? He's not as good as you guys, and... don't panic, I'll ask Lu Xuan later."

Huo Guang was a little uneasy: "Such a big event let Xiao Kunmi know too much..."

Liu Tan raised his hand: "I know it well, don't worry."

After Liu Tan finished speaking, he went to find Lu Xuan, and he found that no matter when he came, there were always people in Lu Xuan's tent, as if there were endless things to deal with.

But after seeing him, Lu Xuan immediately threw everyone out. Liu Tan stood at the door and stared at the old, middle-aged and young inside with some embarrassment and said: "You are busy first, I will come to find you later."

The gazes of these people made Liu Tan uncomfortable. The main reason was that not everyone's gazes were kind, and those older people were more scrutinizing.

People in the Western Regions don't seem to know what reserve is, even the high-level officials of a country are like this, showing happiness and displeasure on their faces.

Liu Tan didn't want to face those people's bad faces at all. Few people in Chang'an dared to face him with such faces. Even if they didn't like him, they would greet him with a smile. What are these people?

Seeing that Liu Tan's expression gradually became formulaic, Lu Xuan knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly threw everyone out and said, "It's nothing serious, but it must be something serious for Ah Tan to find me."

Liu Tan walked in, sat down and said, "This time is really a big deal."

Lu Xuan asked someone to pour kumiss for him and said, "Let me take a guess, Ah Tan is probably going to attack Huhu and Jieguo, right?"

Liu Tan was not surprised that he could guess that, although just looking at the number of 10,000 soldiers and horses is not many, compared to the tens of thousands of 5000+ numbers in the war, it looks a bit shabby, but in fact when [-] people stand in front of them You will find that five thousand soldiers and horses are really a lot.

Of course, there are five thousand soldiers, and horses... probably not even five hundred horses.

With so many people and such a big movement, it's no wonder that Lu Xuan couldn't guess it.

Liu Tan couldn't swallow his breath when he stayed here. Otherwise, after the condition of the wounded soldiers stabilized, he could leave directly and enter the customs first. Why wait for these people to come here?

Liu Tan nodded and said: "That's true, but the big man hasn't had much contact with Huhu and Jieguo these years, and he doesn't know much about them, so I ask little Kunmi to enlighten me."

Lu Xuan looked at him and said suddenly: "You call me little Kunmi, I can't tell you that."

Liu Tan was a little surprised, this was the first time that Lu Xuan refused him, which made Liu Tan, who was very sure that Lu Xuan would tell him, a little embarrassed.

Liu Tan then drank kumis to digest and said, "Since this is the case, I will not force Xiao Kunmi, if we..."

Lu Xuan was a little helpless: "Does Ah Tan have to be so businesslike?"

Liu Tan looked at him in a daze, and Lu Xuan said frustratedly: "As the leader of Little Wusun, I naturally can't give the big man the information that the people below have finally recovered..."

Liu Tan suddenly said immediately: "I don't have much information about the Western Regions, but I can exchange it with you... Well, how about Ruyi Gold Powder?"

Liu Tan originally wanted to use the formula of Ruyi Gold Powder in exchange, but he swallowed the words again. This formula is no better than others. He finally dreamed of it, and it can reduce the death rate. So far, the effect is still very good. good.

The big man and the little Wusun are both enemies and friends now, and Liu Tan doesn't know how long this relationship can last.

But all the countries whose land borders each other actually have the same relationship. They are good friends when they need it, and strangers or even enemies when they don’t.

In case it really becomes an enemy in the future, this Ruyi Golden Powder is helping the enemy, so he would rather let Lu Xuan have more configurations in large quantities than give him the prescription directly.

Liu Tan knew that his thoughts were a bit dark, and Lu Xuan was sincere to him, but he had studied history, experienced so many hardships as a flower grower, and was deceived and bullied in the process of rising, these scars are all experience, It was impossible for him to ignore this.

It's a big deal... If you want to share the loot later, give Lu Xuan more, or give him something that doesn't have a big impact.

Anyway, the prescription of Ruyi Gold Powder... no.

Lu Xuan had already lost his temper due to Liu Tan. He originally felt that his being too straightforward before seemed to be incompatible with the reserved nature of the Han people, so he was trying to learn as much as possible.

Now it seems... I'm so reserved!

Lu Xuan said bluntly: "Why can't Ah Tan have a personal relationship with me? If it's just a good brother, why can't we share it?"

Well, Brother Qi is also a brother.
