Am I under threat?

It seems, it seems not.

Xun Yu stroked his beard, thought for a while, but still shook his head firmly.

"The Lord of Virtue underestimated me and even more so, the Emperor. The king and his subjects are about being like-minded. How can one place personal safety first? If it is not beneficial to the country, wealth and honor are like clouds. If it is beneficial to the country,

Life and death can also be put aside.”

Yang Xiu was a little embarrassed and shook his hand and said, "Brother Wen Ruo, you are so serious. How can I not know about your character? It's just..." His eyes rolled and he suddenly laughed, "You must have heard of the Battle of Huayin.

Before, the emperor gave me the exam?"

Xun Yu smiled slightly and then understood what Yang Xiu meant.

During the Battle of Huayin, the emperor gave Yang Xiu a question. Although Yang Xiu failed to give an answer, he changed his previous personality and was no longer the elegant young man who was talking nonsense. Instead, he was brave enough to take responsibility and cooperate with the emperor.

The generals swung and made great contributions to the emperor's defeat of Li Jue.

The emperor's expectations for him are indeed somewhat similar to that.

"Are you the same?" Yang Xiu asked, staring at Xun Yu's eyes.

Xun Yu smiled and said calmly: "Ancestor De knows the emperor well, why should he ask about Duke Xihua?"

Yang Xiu picked up the teacup on the desk and signaled to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, picked up the teacup, and bowed to Yang Xiu.

The two looked at each other and laughed, and drank it all in one go.

Yang Xiu put down the teacup, wiped the beard on his lips, and looked at the books on the table. "What have you gained after Brother Wen Ruo studied for many days?"

Xun Yu dissipated his smile and frowned slightly. "There is no need to say how hard it is to fight thousands of miles away. Before the troops move, food and grass will go first, but it is necessary to consider. The Western Regions are thousands of miles away, and the area is vast, but there are not many places suitable for farming. A brief look

Come on, there are roughly a few places to choose from…”

Xun Yu said, taking out a few maps to explain Yang Xiu’s experience in studying these days.

The emperor said that he would use war to support the war, and limited the troops to less than 20,000. He should have a certain understanding of the terrain of the Western Regions and came to the conclusion. But even for 20,000 infantry and cavalry, the food and grass consumed was not a small amount, not only needed one piece.

A considerable land requires a household registration that can cultivate this land.

The emperor expelled the Xianbei people to travel west, probably because he wanted to fight in a nomadic way, and the same consideration was given to the grasslands on the north coast of the Black Sea.

However, Xun Yu felt that although the combat methods of nomadic peoples had obvious advantages, their disadvantages were also obvious.

The most obvious point is that we cannot overcome difficulties.

The light cavalry rushes thousands of miles away, floating like the wind, and cannot carry large attacking equipment. When encountering a great power like Rome, even if it can plague its borders, it will be discouraged when encountering a city.

If it is just a plunder and harassment, what's the point?

Therefore, he wanted to find a suitable place for military farming as a camp for the emperor's Western Expedition.

After searching, I only found two places, but these two places have great powers, one is India and the other is Rest.

Moreover, these two places have one thing in common: they are too far away from Rome. Even if they are farmed locally, transporting them to the front line is a difficult task that is difficult to complete.

Xun Yu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "I found someone."

"who?"

"Alexander, the Greek king before Rome, had conquered thousands of miles eastward to India. Judging from his achievements, it was not difficult to conquer the countries, but the difficult thing was to rule. The emperor might have considered this when he wanted Confucian scholars to follow the throne. The force was not allowed.

After a long time, only education can last forever. Alexander's corpse has been destroyed and his country has fallen apart. However, Greek words and customs have been spread in the Western Regions, and it can be said that it has not existed."

Xun Yu said, handing Yang Xiu a few pieces of paper, some of which were pictures and some rubbings. The common point was that there were Greek words on it.

Yang Xiu looked at it for a while, then picked up the map in Xun Yu's hand and looked at it, saying, "Since there is a precedent to follow, there is nothing to worry about. If Alexander comes, we can go. As for those Greece, we can only show them.

How can the words with sound be compared with Chinese characters that emphasize both form and meaning? A hundred years later, all the books in the world are the same, and all the words are elegant, how happy is it?"

Xun Yu frowned slightly. "Ancestor De, do you... want to follow the emperor to fight the West?"

Yang Xiu raised the corners of his mouth. "Do you think it's not possible?"

Xun Yu smacked his lips. "It's not that it's not possible, it's just that Mr. Yang has only you, one son..."

Yang Xiu raised his hand and interrupted Xun Yu. "I have a few sons that are enough to be filial. However, the emperor has no shortage of famous generals, but no wise ministers. Although I am not talented, I am willing to recommend myself and help the emperor with his help.

Not to mention it, it is because my father cannot find a suitable successor. Now that I have Brother Wenruo, I can travel west with confidence."

Xun Yu raised his head, stared at Yang Xiu and looked again and again, and couldn't help laughing and scolding.

"Yang Dezu, you still have a hard time changing your nature after all."

Yang Xiu laughed. "Brother Wen Ruo, what I said is the truth."

——

Yang Xiu talked with Xun Yu for a long time before returning to Situ's mansion to take a shower and change his clothes.

When he changed his clothes and wiped his hair dry, it was already the hour of You. The emperor's banquet was about to begin, and both father and son were going to attend the meeting. Yang Biao had no time to say a few words to him before the banquet.

Yang Biao was a little annoyed and complained to Mrs. Yuan that Yang Xiu was unfilial and did not take him seriously.

Mrs. Yuan was both angry and funny, but in private asked her daughter-in-law to tell Yang Xiu that she was angry and told him to be careful.

After hearing this, Yang Xiu did not take it seriously. Instead, he seized this rare opportunity and kept warm with his wife for a while.

As soon as the hour arrived, the family left Situ Mansion and came to the large courtyard that served as the main hall. Many people had arrived and were gathering together to talk to each other in the front yard and outside the door. Seeing Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and his son came, everyone

They all stood up to salute and said some polite words.

While bowing back, Yang Xiu laughed softly and said, "It turns out that only by having money can the country be prosperous and the people are safe. Poverty is not the kingly way, but wealth is safe."

Yang Biao glanced at him, smiled on his face, greeted others, took the time to shout, "Shuzi, are you dissatisfied with Nai Gong's administration?"

"How dare you, how dare you?" Yang Xiu smiled. "The boy was just lamenting the injustice encountered in Liangzhou. Even Hanyang, which has the best conditions, could not be as rich as the ordinary group in the Central Plains. It seems that the price of this horse needs to be increased.

If you mention it, otherwise you will suffer a lot."

"You try." Yang Biao said gritting his teeth.

Now that government affairs are getting more and more prosperous, horses are needed to upload and download news. If horses are not raised in the Central Plains, all horses come from the three states of You and Liang. It is precisely because the court directly controlled the three states that the price of horses was suppressed to the point that it could afford.

Degree. If the three states raise horse prices, even if they only increase by 10%, the court will face tremendous pressure.

Yang Xiu called Qu. "Mr. Situ, Liangzhou is also the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the people of Liangzhou are also the people of the Han Dynasty. The court cannot just think about the benefits of Liangzhou, but not give Liangzhou the corresponding reward. I have nothing to do with me

, After a few years, you can be transferred to another county. What should the people of Liangzhou do? Have you been exploited by the Central Plains?"
