Yan Gaoqing explained the methods he had thought of at the moment in detail, and then said: "At present, I only thought of these three methods, I dare not say that they are feasible, but they should be effective. However, the specific implementation depends on the operation and actual changes. Your military strategy emphasizes the impermanence of military power, and the same is true for administration."

Pei Min naturally understood the situation and smiled and said, "This is natural. No policy is perfect at the beginning, and most of it is just an idea, and then the shortcomings are realized through practice and then the changes are made up for."

He paused and said, "Compared to making plans, I hope Brother Xin can be mainly responsible for this matter. I will report my achievements in Puchang County truthfully. During the crisis in Xizhou, you told the people of Puchang to support Gaochang. In the battle of Aidinghe, Feng Changqing was able to wipe out more than 10,000 invading soldiers of Prince Tuqi Shi. Brother Xin also had a credit, which was enough to be promoted."

This person has his own strengths, and Pei Min also has self-knowledge. His strengths are military strategy, martial arts and administrative matters. It is okay to be a decision maker, but if you really need to actually operate, you are far less skilled in this area.

Yan Gaoqing's talent was so inexplicable that he was a small magistrate of Puchang County.

Yan Gaoqing is also an ambitious person. He has never been the county magistrate in Puchang for the rest of his life. He said: "I have been in Puchang for less than two years and many policies have not been in place. If someone else takes over the county magistrate, I am afraid that it will be contrary to my policies and will make many things fail. The situation that has finally stabilized will be the same as before. I hope that I will succeed the county magistrate by the chief Tao You of Puchang in the future. Since I have ruled, Tao You has been my right hand and can continue to carry out according to the plan."

Pei Min also agreed to the promise, could he promote Yan Gaoqing to an ideal high position?

Pei Min was not sure about this, he just recommended it to the court.

Whether it succeeds or not needs to be recognized by Li Longji and all the officials in the court.

But arranging the Chief Tao You to replace Yan Gaoqing's position is a matter of just one sentence within his power.

Pei Min asked Yan Gaoqing to prepare for handover. Even if he failed to win the best position for his confidant, there was no doubt about the promotion.

No matter what, Yan Gaoqing's official position was promoted, and he deserved it.

After leaving Puchang County, Pei Min continued to return to the army.

Walking on the unmanned sand dunes for two thousand miles, Pei Min looked at the surrounding deserted sand, thinking about what could he do to build a road on this unmanned sand dunes.

It is this unmanned sand dune that separates Hexi from the Western Regions.

The ordinary two thousand miles are actually not far away, and the army marched urgently for only three or five days.

If it were like Wei Qing in history, in order to speed up the marches of the Han Dynasty, this famous Han general rushed 800 miles overnight, that marches would be terrible.

At that time, Wei Qing was rushing to the grassland, and it would have been faster if it were the official roads of the Tang Dynasty.

But the sand dunes are a sea of ​​sand, which will delay infinitely.

The soldiers' qualities are actually not unbearable. As long as the soldiers are elite enough and have the experience of walking on the sand, they can overcome difficulties.

This is also the reason why Feng Changqing was able to rush to Xizhou for support in the fastest and shortest time.

But how can people overcome the baggage?

It was really a desperate situation to cross the sandy road, which weighed three or four hundred pounds.

If you accidentally slip, the baggage truck will overturn, otherwise you will fall into a sand pit, and all kinds of problems will be inevitable.

Originally, the food and supplies of a hundred thousand troops were astronomical and needed to transport them by extremely large logistics personnel.

The huge logistics personnel will have to catch up with the army of war on the front line when they pass the unmanned sand dunes.

This is just a transportation of supplies. If there is a stalemate, it will last for two or three years.

Not to mention that it will bring down the Tang Dynasty, it will inevitably cause damage to the muscles and bones.

Why was Emperor Wu of Han so brilliant, but the result was that the country was wasted, the household registration was reduced by half, and the people's livelihood was in decline?

Isn't it just a war?

Pei Min walked on this sand dunes and suddenly realized something.

No matter how we govern the Western Regions or win over the people, we are all ways to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

The real solution once and for all is to overcome these two thousand miles of sand dunes. As long as you make a road in this sand sea, 70,000 Liangzhou troops can reach Anxi in a short time, and the subsequent resources will be continuously provided, and long-term combat can be supported.

Which country in the Western Regions dares to have a different intention?

Pei Min is the most talkative person. He marched all the way and often joked with the generals around him.

Sometimes, I would tell some jokes that they could never imagine, and I would tell them "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was very much expected.

But when he entered the sand dunes, Pei Min looked at the sand sea without saying a word.

Without Pei Min controlling the scene, the road to the east will inevitably be a little deserted.

After a long time of travel, Zhe Huchen couldn't help asking, "What are Pei Shuai thinking? He is so enchanting?"

Pei Min pointed to the endless sand dunes and said, "I was wondering if I could build a road like the Qin straight road here. If it could be done, it would be very convenient for us to support the Western Regions, whether we would support the Western Regions or transport materials to the Western Regions. In the future, the convenience will be more than twice the cost."

Pei Min said this, all the surrounding generals and schools were stunned.

Pugu Huaien looked at the sand chin and couldn't help but say, "This is unlikely!"

Xia Shan also shook her head suddenly and said, "Impossible, impossible. I have seen Qin Zhidao, the mountains and valleys are indeed amazing. But it is within the scope of human resources. After all, the sand dunes are built for two thousand miles. No matter how much manpower and material resources are used, it will be in vain."

Pei Min also knew that he was thinking about it and smiled and said, "I'm just saying it..."

He couldn't even think of a way. No one in this world has the ability.

But he knew that in the future, even if it was a mobile desert like the Takramakan Desert, even if it was a mobile desert like the Takramakan Desert, it would be possible to build a road.

But that is a distant future, and in this era, there is no such technology yet.

All are fantasies!

Pei Min temporarily put aside this idea and joked with the generals.

After passing through the sand dunes, we arrived in Shazhou, and met with Feng Changqing with Yumen Pass.

Feng Changqing was the first general to return because he wanted to support Wang Zhongsi.

However, when he passed through the sand dunes, Wang Zhongsi had already won a great victory and Tubo also retreated to Qinghai Lake.

Feng Changqing went back to Yumen Pass to rest.

After discussing the situation in the Western Regions with Feng Changqing, Pei Min then entered Guzang, Liangzhou.

Eight days later, he arrived in Guzang.

After nearly half a year of this trip, Pei Min was also homeless.

Although he has led his troops to war in recent years or has been summoned to Chang'an.

It has become a habit to leave home every once in a while. But every long separation is just as exciting.

"Dad is back..."

"Dad is back..."

Xiaoqi and Xiaoba ran over, and they were very fast and jumping.

They are still young and can't suppress their feelings at all, and they show their faces if they have anything.

Pei Min quickly walked up to meet the two little guys, one hand in one, and picked up the two little guys.

"Oh!"

Pei Min shouted and said happily: "It's heavy again. If you go down, Daddy can only hold you one. You can't stand it when you come together."

Xiaoqi was still much naughty than Xiaoba. She kissed her father intimately, and smiled crisply: "Then, did Dad hug Xiaoqi or Xiaoba at that time!"

Pei Min replied with a sweet fragrance: "Of course it's Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi is the pearl in his father's hand."

"Hehe!" Xiaoqi smiled happily, hugged Pei Min's head, kissed him again, and rubbed his face with his face.

Xiao Ba's mouth couldn't help but pout.

Pei Min will not favor one or the other, and treats his eldest son badly. He leans his head in Xiaoba's ear and says, "In a few years, Xiaoba will be a little man. A man is a real man. If he doesn't learn literature and help the world, he doesn't practice martial arts, and protects the people and the country, there is no reason to have his father hold him."

The child is just a fool. Xiaoba nodded seriously and said, "Xiaoba wants to become a real man as powerful as a father, and don't snatch hugs with his sister!"

Pei Min also kissed Xiaoba's face and walked towards the inner hall with the two little guys in his arms.

Pei Min went directly to Pei's mother's residence and greeted her.

This is also a convention.

Not to mention that filial piety was greater than heaven in ancient times, as for Pei Min, Pei's mother was also his most beloved elder.

And as usual, Jiao Chen would also wait for a meeting with Pei’s mother at this time.

As for Gongsun You, Pei Min believes that she is the same.

Holding Xiaoqi, Xiaoba walked into the yard. Sure enough, Pei's mother led Jiao Chen and Gongsun You had been waiting for a long time.

As for Gongsun Xi, Pei Min was missing, and I don’t know where she went.

That girl is so naive that she can't sit still. She probably has healed after not seeing her for half a year, and she may not be able to return to Chang'an.

Pei Min put down Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, quickly came to the nearby place to salute Pei's mother and greet him.

Seeing that her son's face looked quite windy and frosty, Pei's mother was both relieved and distressed, so she quickly helped him up and said, "Didn't you eat well in the past six months? Or didn't you sleep well? You've lost weight."

Pei Min went to rescue Anxi here. It was winter. Heavy snow was everywhere, the cold wind was biting, the army had poor food, and it was difficult to eat various vegetables from the Central Plains in the Western Regions. He suffered a lot of injuries, so it was natural to lose weight.

But at this moment he smiled and said, "How can it be! The kings of the Western Regions are so cool about the boy. They are also mutton and beef. They are tired of eating them. They wear warm cotton jackets and feel that they are fat. They are so scared that the boy practices swords day and night, and then they get down."

Pei's mother didn't know whether it was true or not, but when she saw that the child was as always, she felt very happy and looked at her with satisfaction.

Pei Min also greeted Jiao Chen and Gongsun You.

He and Jiao Chen are old couples, and they have no words to say anything. They ask Gongsun You about their injuries with concern.

Gongsun You was as gentle as ever, and was very smart and said softly: "It's almost done. Li Lao's Miao doctor and Mr. Sun's acupuncture complement each other and have excellent results. Just yesterday, Li Lao said that in more than ten days, the medicine will be cut off."

Pei Min felt relieved and said, "That's good, that's good! Miss Xi, how has her injuries been healed? Isn't it because I haven't seen anyone else to go back to Chang'an?"

Gongsun You nodded with helplessness: "She was injured less and had stopped the medicine half a month ago. After all, Guzang is not as good as Chang'an, so she can't stand it anymore."
Chapter completed!
