"Have you seen your sixth uncle? Is he in good health?" Liu Yang asked.

Regarding Liu Wenhuan's experience of traveling westward, Emperor Liu had already asked about it, and Liu Yang also cared about it. It is very important that Liu Wenhuan personally narrate it.At the beginning, Liu Wenhuan, who had never done anything, was asked to escort the supplies. No matter what kind of psychology Liu Emperor had, on Liu Yang's side, he really had the intention of investigating.Now when I come back to the palace and ask questions, it can be regarded as an "interview".

Liu Wenhuan didn't think too much about it for a while, he answered whatever he asked, and said, "Never! My son and his party only arrived at Suiye City. The general's materials were delivered to the Anxi Governor's Mansion, and they were received from the envoy. The sixth uncle was still there at the time. Taluosi, sit in the town personally, set up defenses, suppress the newly occupied town land. After staying in Suiye City for half a month, I will return to Beijing!"

"Since we have already arrived in Suiye City, why not travel a few hundred miles to Talas to visit your sixth uncle? Judging from the current trend of the country, we may not have the opportunity to see him again for several years or even ten years. It's gone." Liu Yang looked at Liu Wenhuan and said softly.

Hearing this, Liu Wenhuan showed hesitation, and replied in a low voice: "My son originally planned to lead his bodyguards to go west to Talas to visit the sixth uncle, but was dissuaded by Zhao Defang and Murong Yongren, saying that the law and order in the west of Talas was not stable, and there were thieves and thieves. There are still many rebels who resist the big man, Xiang Shijun also firmly disagrees with my son going west, so in the end, he was unable to meet the sixth uncle."

Hearing what Liu Wenhuan said, Liu Yang was silent for a while, and sighed: "Your sixth uncle is my younger brother, your grandfather's beloved son, and the prince of a big man. No matter how dangerous the places in Taluosi are, no matter how fierce the resistance is, they are already a place for a big man." Occupied, with the banner of my big man. Your sixth uncle is not afraid of danger, and so many soldiers are not afraid of danger.

The reason why the subordinates dissuade you is because of your identity, they are worried about your safety, and it can even be said that it is their responsibility.It’s not that you are asked to go to battle to kill the enemy, but to visit your sixth uncle on behalf of your grandfather, even if it is for your sixth uncle to bring back a few words to your grandfather, it would be good.”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Wenhuan's face couldn't help changing. He realized that he seemed to have made a mistake. As for how serious the mistake was, he couldn't evaluate it at this time.

Liu Wenhuan suddenly thought that when he was in the Chuigong Palace, the emperor's grandfather also asked about the sixth uncle, and he answered in the same way.The emperor's grandfather always had a kind face towards him, and it was hard to understand his unfathomable thoughts, but his father was obviously a little disappointed.

Liu Wenhuan was still in a daze. Fortunately, Liu Yang didn't continue to dwell on this matter. Instead, he changed the subject and continued to ask, "What's the current situation in Suiye City and what does it look like?"

This question is not difficult to answer, all you need to do is describe what you have seen, heard, and think. At the same time, it is difficult. The difficulty lies in not knowing what Liu Yang cares more about and what he wants to hear.

Therefore, Liu Wenhuan did not speak hastily. After thinking for a moment, he cupped his hands and said slowly with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Over the years, the ones I have heard the most are Anxi, Anton and Nanyang. Suiye City used to be only It is recorded in the annals of history that the sixth uncle fought hard to recover it, and my son has always been full of curiosity and longing.

However, this time I came to Suiye City in person, but I was somewhat disappointed.Not to mention the two capitals, and there is no need to compare it with the Taoist government. Even the prefectures on the way to the west are rarely surpassed by Suiye, and Suiye was the capital of the Black Khanate before. "

Liu Wenhuan's words were full of pride for the big man, and at the same time, there was deep contempt for Suiye City.Liu Yang obviously felt this kind of contempt, but there was nothing unusual on his face, he just glanced at him more.

Seeing that Liu Yang listened carefully, Liu Wenhuan became more confident, organized his words, and talked eloquently: "Suiye City is a stone city, and its defense is fairly strong, but it can accommodate a small population of soldiers and civilians, and it is probably a war. Because of this, it is still in depression, and has not seen the prosperity described in the book. So far, Suiye's main task is still to provide supplies for the Western Expeditionary Army.

There are only tens of thousands of people inside and outside the city, half of them are Hu people, and the whole city is full of Hu sounds, and there are frequent conflicts between Han and Hu, but Hu people who dare to make trouble are severely punished.

In order to encourage and protect the migrating Han people, Uncle Liu instituted harsh punishments in the local area to restrain the local Hu people.There are notices posted in every town, saying that anyone who dares to violate the property of the Han people will be killed without guilt!
The Sixth Uncle ruled the local area forcibly with harsh punishments and strict laws, and martial arts in troubled times. This matter has achieved great results, but there have been many troubles in the future, which caused fierce Hu-Han conflicts. The local Hu people are very hostile to my big Han soldiers and immigrants."

The more Liu Yang listened, the more he frowned, and finally couldn't help interrupting him, carefully observed Liu Wenhuan's eyes, and raised his finger: "You came up with these situations?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenhuan said cautiously: "I have little knowledge, these were brought up by Zhao Defang and Murong Yongren when they were discussing Anxi's political affairs, and I think they make sense, so I remembered them!"

Liu Yang cleared his doubts slightly, stretched out his hand to signal, and said, "Go on!"

"Yes!" Liu Wenhuan saluted again, and said calmly: "Zhao Defang believes that the Sixth Uncle's administration in Anxi is harsh and brutal. Although it can have miraculous effects, it will not last long. If things go on like this, it may cause disaster.

The local Hu people are not all those who disobey the king, but also those who have a heart for the court. For these people, the Dudu Mansion should distinguish them, give them kindness and appease them, and they will be transformed by the king. "

Hearing this argument, Liu Yang's expression was a little serious, even a little bitter, his eyes slowly turned around twice, and said: "Do you also agree with this point of view?"

Liu Wenhuan almost blurted out, but seeing his father's "constipated" expression, he couldn't help it, thought for a while, and answered the wrong question: "Murong Yongren holds the opposite view to Zhao Defang. He admires the tough policy of the Dudu Mansion and firmly supports it." He believes that it will not be achieved overnight if the big man wants to establish a firm rule in Anxi. At present, the top priority should be to subdue the local Hu people and resist the counterattack of the Samans.

If you want long-term peace and stability, you should punish those who refuse to accept the king's transformation. Instead of bothering to appease those stubborn Hu people, you should shift the goal of education assimilation to the next generation of children.

In addition, it is also a long-term policy to relocate tribesmen and common people from the mainland of the Han Dynasty to enrich the local population.”

Hearing this, Liu Yang's complexion slightly changed. After thinking for a while, he let out a sigh of relief and asked Liu Wenhuan, "Who do you agree with in terms of these two people?"

Liu Wenhuan obviously sensed Liu Yang's intention to take the school exam, and he seemed very cautious. He thought about it for a while, and said, "What both of them said is reasonable. I think that if they can be combined, there may be gratifying results!"

After getting such an answer, Liu Yang gave him an annoyed look: "Slippery!"

Liu Wenhuan smiled awkwardly, but Liu Yang didn't let him go, and said, "What you said are all other people's ideas, what about you? What do you think about Suiye and Anxi's military administration?"

Before he knew it, Liu Yang himself didn't pay attention, his question was a bit off track, more important and more serious.

Liu Wenhuan also thought about it carefully before he said: "I dare not speak nonsense about important military and national affairs, but this trip to the west has gained a lot of experience and insight. To feed the Anxi army, the price paid by the big man is too heavy, not to mention the casualties of the soldiers. , Only the transportation of the luggage will consume more manpower than imagined.

When I was in Gaochang Road, I met a Hexi transshipment team whose task was to transfer [-] shi of military rations. I talked with the state captain who led the team. You need to prepare at least [-] shi when you set off, and the rest will be consumed on the way of transshipment.

It can be heard that the officials and people in Hexi are already tired of fighting against Anxi and the court's "four expeditions", and Hexi is exhausted.My son thinks that this is the case in Hexi, and so is the court. The long-term battle in Anxi is already a huge burden, and the court should stop the loss in time to get rid of it, otherwise, in the long run, it will also damage the interests of the court and the people."
