Bingzhou and Youzhou border towns.

Today's Bingzhou Mu Jushou meets Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, and they meet in a town outside the Great Wall.

The purpose is to discuss afforestation and solve the impact of sandstorms.

The sky is now dark, and the impact of the sandstorm continues. But the two state pastors were already on their way at great speed.

In this kind of weather, it is extremely inconvenient for horses to travel. But with Liu Chen's order issued, they must go all out to take action

"Juzhou Mu!"

"Liu Zhoumu!"

After Jushou and Liu Yu met, they greeted each other politely, and then went straight to the point.

"I have ordered people to investigate. This sandstorm came from the Gobi Desert far north of Yinshan Mountain.

Now the Bingzhou Army and the Youzhou Army are joining forces to attack the grasslands outside the Great Wall, but it will be difficult to capture all the territory in a short time.

Even if we want to control sandstorms, it's beyond our reach, right?"

Liu Yu said seriously.

In his opinion, if you want to control sandstorms, you must solve the problem of the Gobi Desert. This is to treat the symptoms but also the root cause.

Jushou looked at the topographic map in front of him and said:"It is not necessary to go deep into the grassland to plant trees. After all, there is a vast expanse outside the Gobi Wall, and there are not enough manpower.

What's more, if the aliens are sincerely causing trouble, wouldn't it be in vain if we plant trees and they graze and eat the trees? Liu Yu asked in confusion:"

So what does Juzhou Mu mean?""

Jushou explained:"We only need to deal with the deserts, sandy areas outside the Great Wall, and the land where the turf has faded and gradually become desertified.

By then, even if a sandstorm blows from the Gobi Desert outside Yinshan Mountain, it will be blocked by these windbreaks, and the threat of sandstorm will be greatly reduced.

After all, this is a natural disaster and cannot be solved overnight. It is really rare to be able to achieve this step."

Liu Yu nodded, then sighed and said:"This sandstorm has a great impact on people's livelihood and economy!

Fortunately, His Majesty spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build red brick and cement houses for the people. If they were thatched houses, it might have created a large number of disaster victims. Jushou nodded, looked at the gray sky outside the window, and sighed:"It seems that we are not as good as Jia Wenhe in terms of strategic vision!""

"yes! Liu

Yu looked toward Xiliang,"A few years ago, Jia Xu started planting trees in Dunhuang, Liangzhou to prevent wind and sand." This kind of strategic vision is worse than mine!"

"But thanks to Jia Wenhe, we have the experience of planting trees. Jushou sighed.

Liu Yu nodded.

……

Jia Xu, who was discussed by Ju Shou and Liu Yu, is now leaving Yumen Pass in the west with the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army, crossing Lop Nur, preparing to detour from Turpan to the countries in the Western Regions.

They can also go west directly from Yumen Pass to the Western Regions, but they need to cross the Taklimakan Desert.

Even though they now have ability bonuses and the soldiers' physical fitness is extremely strong, they are still not absolutely sure about the improvement in drought resistance.

First of all, the soldiers' ability to withstand drought has improved, but the horses have not. Even though they already have a camel team, they still need horses to march and fight.

The importance of cavalry in the countries in the Western Regions and the grasslands outside the Great Wall is extremely important. They couldn't just rely on infantry to fight.

At that time, you will really be killed by the enemy flying a kite!

Fortunately, in this life, there are artifacts such as telescopes, and there are communication pigeons and reconnaissance pigeons wandering in the sky. Even if they travel through the Western Regions, the Liangzhou Army is still not afraid.

However, when passing by the edge of the Taklimakan Desert, looking at the endless sea of ​​sand, the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army still sighed a little.

"I don’t know when this desert will be turned into an oasis! Zhang Xiu sighed and said:

"I heard that a sandstorm broke out in the capital during this period. If the desert continues to deteriorate, most of the northern Han Dynasty will be swallowed up by sandstorms in the future!"

"Our first priority now is to completely control the Western Region. Natural disasters like sandstorms are not something we ordinary people can contend with."Hua Xiong didn't care.

Xu Rong said:"Now we have achieved initial results in afforestation in Dunhuang, as long as this policy can be carried out. Don't be destroyed by the grazing of foreigners outside the Great Wall. It can take as short as thirty or fifty years, or as long as twenty or thirty years. In the future, our Liangzhou, and even the entire north of the Han Dynasty, will not be affected by sand and dust."

The officers and soldiers of the Liangzhou army are more eager to solve the sandstorm than the capital or other places.

Because they grew up in Xiliang, they also watched the sandstorm raging in Xiliang, and the people were troubled. But there is nothing they can do.

They grew up with sand and loess. It is no wonder that Xiliang's population is sparse and people's livelihood is difficult to develop.

How can they develop under such natural and man-made disasters?

Jia Xu did not participate in the quarrels between the soldiers. There was no interruption.

Facing this endless desert, even if it was just the edge, if they didn't find some topic to divert their attention, their spirits would easily collapse under the strain.

This kind of life lasted for more than half a month, and they finally They left the edge of the Taklimakan Desert and approached the Tianshan Mountains.

The Western Region Protectorate is in a city near the Tianshan Mountains.

However, this time Jia Xu and the Liangzhou Army soldiers came not for this, but to prepare to push the front Further to the west.

Where is the Dayuan Kingdom, the Wusun Kingdom, and the Kushan Empire?

——They wanted to set up stations on the front line to serve as a springboard for the westward advance.

If possible this time, Jia Xu also wants to seize the Dayuan Kingdom, or at least make them a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. ,

Dayuan country produces sweat-blooded horses, which are famous far and near. It is not at all inferior to Wuhuan on the north side of Youzhou, or even worse.

If the Liangzhou Army wants to continue to advance westward, the supply of horses is also extremely important!

Of course, the reason for being so eager and not choosing to play it safe was because Zhou Yu promoted him to the 'Governor of the Southwest'!

Their Liangzhou Army also wants to have a 'Northwestern Governor'.

This is not only a symbol of positional rights, but also a way to enhance the overall strength and status of the Northwest Circle!

In fact, today's officialdom of the Han Dynasty already has a vague sense of partisanship.

The friendship between classmates, the same town, the same county and the same state, etc., can all form a political circle. ,

Of course, today's Han Kingdom is suppressed by Liu Chen, the founding emperor, and party strife is not obvious, or has not yet appeared.

However, these are inevitable. Liu Chen can only make the party struggle move in the right and vigorous direction, rather than infighting and exhaustion.

Protectorate of the Western Regions.

The general of the Liangzhou Army stationed in the Western Regions was Fan Chou, who was once one of Dong Zhuo's fierce generals and later surrendered to Liu Chen.

The Liangzhou Army attached great importance to the Western Regions, so they sent Fan Chou to lead heavy troops to guard it.

The news of the arrival of Jia Xu's army had already reached Fan Chou's control, so when the Liangzhou army appeared dozens of miles outside the Duhu Mansion, Fan Chou had already led his troops to greet him.
