Chapter 450: Westbound Personnel
In the Government Affairs Hall, Chen Xi, who received Xu Rong's letter for help, scratched his head in confusion. Xu Rong actually asked for help. Is the situation in the Western Region so dangerous?
"Xu Rong is asking for help. Who should we send? How many troops should he lead?"
"Let Jiang Wei and the others go. Since there's no fighting in the north, send them all to the Western Regions!" Xun Yu said indifferently.
It has to be said that Zhuge Liang's policy of differentiation was very clever. After the three border states paid a portion of grain, the northern Hu people quickly surrendered and were willing to act as watchdogs for the Han Dynasty. The crisis that might have occurred in the early spring was directly resolved.
"That's a solution! " Chen Xi nodded, his expression returning to normal. Anyway, Xu Rong didn't explain it clearly in his letter, he just wanted to ask a few brave generals to take charge.
In this case, it is a good idea to send these second generation to the Western Regions to experience life.
"That's it, let Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, and Lu Lingqi go together this time!"
"Kong Ming, Zhong Da, and Shi Yuan, the three of you go as well and hand over your work. Zhong Da, your work will be handed over to Feng Xiao and Zi Yuan, and Kong Ming, your work will be handed over to Wen Ruo."
Chen Xi stroked his chin, thinking about the talents at hand. The first batch of talented teenagers from the Imperial Academy were basically in the stage of graduation, but there were not many of them in Luoyang.
The three siblings of the Guan family went to Yizhou to find Guan Yu, so I won’t mention that they were not in Luoyang.
Chen Qingzhi went to Qingzhou to find Huangfu Song, and happened to be studying along the way, so he was not in Luoyang.
Lu Meng and Lu Xun followed Lu Su to Jiangdong to handle the large-scale development in the south, and were not in Luoyang.
It turned out that Fa Zheng had already run away and joined Liu Bei, making great contributions in Yizhou, and was also not in Luoyang .
When you count them carefully, it seems that there are not many people who can be sent to the Western Regions.
"Ma Yunlu, Dong Bai, Liu Chan, Sun Quan, Cao Ang, etc. were sent together. Who else was there?"
Under the influence of Chen Xi's muttering, Xun Yu raised his head speechlessly. Xu Rong was asking for help. If you brought so many second-generations over, Xu Rong would go crazy.
The most important thing is why you want to send Dong Bai away. Although he is very happy that Dong Bai left Luoyang, Dong Bai's identity is too special. Can you, Chen Zichuan, please stop messing around?
"Send a few more experienced people to Xu Rong. Pang Tong and Gao Chong from Liangzhou are very suitable. Send Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Xu Huang to the Western Regions. This way, we can feel more at ease on the road!"
Xun Yu was thinking and deciding that Xu Rong was quite reliable, and Zhuge Liang and the others were indeed very capable, but there was still room for improvement. If he didn't send more guards, what would happen if one of them died at that time?
Chen Xi didn't think much about it. He just felt that they needed to find a place for Zhuge Liang and the others to train. As for danger, that was just a joke.
The people he could name were the best of the next generation and all had outstanding abilities. In addition, there were the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the Western Regions and large army commanders like Xu Rong.
“Isn’t this a bit too many people?”
Chen Xi was a little hesitant. Pang Tong and Gao Chong were fine , but sending Yu Jin, Xu Huang and Le Jin along with them seemed like a waste of talent for the Western Regions.
"Send them out. There is no war in the north. The difficulty of the Western Region as a trial field is just right. Building something from scratch is just right for them."
Xun Yu looked indifferent. Unlike Chen Xi who always treated the second generation as children, he had already begun to recognize the abilities of Zhuge Liang and others.
Putting aside age, in fact, the person pointed out by Chen Xi has surpassed 99% of the people in the Han Empire.
Even Ma Yunlu was a person who had reached the peak of internal Qi and had received training in the Imperial Academy system. He was more than qualified to be a county magistrate.
He originally didn't want to suggest sending the last three, but Dong Bai had a special status after all, so he should be treated specially.
"Okay, then send them there. Congling is a good place. It would be good for them to have some good training."
Chen Xi touched his chin. With this combination, they could stop Parthia and Kushan from attacking Pamirs. Anyway, there was no plan for war recently, so let it be.
However, Chen Xi had never expected that the Kushans would actually have a seizure, nor did he expect that all the capable Xiliang cavalry would run away.
Therefore, the place that Chen Xi and Xun Yu thought was a place to gain experience and hone young people turned out to be a pit because of a series of coincidences.
"Let's just do it. I don't know when the general will come back. Is Qingzhou so chaotic?"
Chen Xi was muttering to himself as he drafted. Without Lu Su, his workload had increased miraculously, which made him miss the time when there was someone to help him deal with things.
A smooth road had long been built between Liangzhou and Luoyang, and it didn't take much time to get from Luoyang to Liangzhou, so a group of people quickly set out from Luoyang.
Speed is of the essence in war. Moreover, Xu Rong was asking for help, so the army was moving very fast, which made life difficult for the second generation.
This was their first time officially participating in a large-scale military expedition, and they felt uncomfortable everywhere. The feeling was completely different from the last time.
"The world is really big, with so many outstanding people. This journey to the west is quite challenging!" After leaving Liangzhou, Zhuge Liang often watched the stars at night.
The country is full of shining stars, with the scorching sun and bright moon blocking the sky. After going abroad, he was surprised to find that there were also many foreign heroes representing outstanding people.
Especially in the West, there are even more brilliant generals than in China, but he also knows that the number of generals there should be the sum of the three countries of Parthia, Rome and Great Britain.
"Kong Ming, why are you looking at the stars again? Are you feeling unwell?" Pang Tong poked Zhuge Liang, who was staring at the stars in a daze, with his elbow.
"I'm calculating what we will face when we go to the Western Regions!" Zhuge Liang retracted his gaze and said calmly.
After all, Qimen Dunjia is just Qimen Dunjia. If it were reliable, so many accidents wouldn’t have happened and the world would have been peaceful long ago.
"Then you calculate it. I need to rest early. I heard from Bo Yue and others that it will take another seven or eight days to reach the Western Regions. If I don't rest well, my body may not be able to bear it." Pang Tong was very depressed.
He was the only one in the group who was weak in combat. Not to mention Ma Yunlu who had great internal energy, even Sima Yi had a strong body. He was the only one who was weak and exhausted by the long journey.
"The general has said more than once that the body is the capital of the future. Shi Yuan, you must exercise well!" Zhuge Liang said with a chuckle.
At the beginning, his physique was similar to Pang Tong's, but Guo Hao often told him to exercise. He thought about listening to others' advice and eating enough, so he also focused on physical exercise.
Although he can't compare with Cheng Yu, Man Chong and others, riding a horse and traveling is still no problem.
"Come to think of it, it seems that I am the one who has full control this time!" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but show some anticipation on his face when he thought of what Chen Xi had explained to him.
This was also his first time holding power, which was a big challenge.
