Su Che told Jia Yu some things to pay attention to, and asked Xue Rengui to lead 90,000 Xuanjia troops to station in Nanjiang City, and then returned to the Nanjiang Palace.
It is said that Cai Wenji is knowledgeable and talented, and she is also a first-class beauty. Su Che really needs to see her.
As soon as he returned to the Prince's Mansion in Southern Xinjiang, Su Che saw an old man and a stunning eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman in green clothes standing in the courtyard.
The old man Su Che knew him as the steward of the southern Xinjiang palace, named Lu Xiangyu.
When Lu Xiangyu saw Su Che, he hurriedly came up to her, bowed and said, "Young Master, this girl's name is Cai Wenji, and she is the new maid in the palace."
Su Che nodded and then looked at Cai Wenji.
This girl is beautiful, fragrant and delicate, with carved shoulders and a plain waist. Her eyes are more charming than peach blossoms and she has a pair of eyes that are more charming than peach blossoms.
She is indeed a rare beauty in the world!
Cai Wenji hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "My slave, Cai Wenji, has met the prince."
"Without courtesy, you can follow me from now on!"
Although Su Che was excited, he still had the demeanor of a prince. After helping Cai Wenji up, he strode into the study.
Cai Wenji followed closely behind, closed the door of the study after entering the study, and then stood next to Su Che.
Su Che didn't pay attention, and immediately found the defense map of Southern Xinjiang and started reading it.
Southern Xinjiang is the territory of two states, with twelve counties and 312 counties under its jurisdiction, with a total military strength of more than 400,000.
In addition to the 80,000 cavalry who died in southern Xinjiang and the 50,000 rebels led by Li Yicheng, there are still 270,000 stationed in southern Xinjiang.
However, these 270,000 troops were defenders from various parts of southern Xinjiang and could not be easily mobilized, especially the important frontier towns, which had to defend against the Huns in the north.
Originally, Su Che wanted to see if he could gather another 200,000-strong army, but after looking at the defense map, his heart suddenly dropped and he became wary.
Naturally, there are not many soldiers and horses in the towns in the hinterland of southern Xinjiang. Most of the defenders are concentrated in the seven cities on the border.
Not to mention Tianmen Pass, the connected Xiangshui Pass and Jieshuiguan each have 50,000 troops. The other four border cities, Yinshan Pass, Wuyue Pass, Shanyue Pass and Tianshan Pass, each have 42,500 troops. Hundreds of soldiers and horses.
The guards at these levels are all arrogant and powerful generals under the cheap daddy. It is inevitable that some of them will be as self-respecting as Li Yicheng, turning the Southern Xinjiang Army into his own private army and confidants.
The Huns in the north are watching with eager eyes. If this happens and the border becomes unstable, he, the new king of Southern Xinjiang, will be restrained in everything he does.
But Su Che couldn't take away their military power.
These generals are all heroes of southern Xinjiang. If their military power is taken away rashly, they are likely to jump over the wall and rebel like Li Yicheng.
Although Su Che is not afraid of their rebellion, who will be stationed at the border when the time comes?
Cai Wenji on the side saw that Su Che had circled all six border checkpoints except Tianmen Pass. She tilted her head and thought about it, and then her eyes lit up.
"The prince is worried that the guards of these six gates will support themselves with troops. They are not convinced by the prince, but there is no reason to take away their military power?"
Su Che nodded and glanced meaningfully at Cai Wenji. This girl was indeed not simple. She could see what he was thinking at a glance.
Cai Wenji smiled slightly and continued: "Your Majesty can let the guards of the six passes switch defenses with each other without changing troops. This will eliminate hidden dangers."
As soon as these words came out, Su Che immediately slapped the table, wonderful! Wonderful!
Although this move was a method played by the Song Dynasty, which ultimately made the Song Dynasty's army unable to recognize soldiers and generals, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, it was very suitable for the current turbulent southern Xinjiang.
Of course, this is only temporary. When the political power in southern Xinjiang is completely in his hands, Su Che will definitely not follow the old path of the Song Dynasty.
In fact, it is easy to understand that changing generals does not change troops. For example, the guard general of Xiangshui Pass can be transferred to Wuyue Pass to serve as a guard general, and the guard general of Wuyue Pass can be transferred to Jieshuiguan Pass, and so on. The defenders at Liuguan did not move and remained as they were.
In this way, although they still have military power in their hands, their subordinates are no longer the same group of people. This not only prevents them from relying on their own troops and cultivating the Southern Xinjiang Army into their private army confidants, but also prevents them from forcibly taking back their military power and causing serious consequences. The risk of them rebelling.
He holds 150,000 Xuanjia troops and is intimidated by the Xuanjia army. As long as they don't go too far, they should not dare to make any changes.
After they changed defenses, they lost the support of their original subordinates. Wouldn't it be easy to slowly take back their military power?
Once the internal situation is stable, Su Che can let go and start a big fight!
After all, this system is a hegemony system. If Su Che wants to become stronger, he must continue to conquer and gain points by killing enemies!
Thinking of this, Su Che immediately opened the map he had just drawn and began to check the mineral resources on the map.
Su Che is now short of money and people. Su Che's current strength is not enough to go north to conquer King Zhenhu.
In addition, we have just issued an order to exempt southern Xinjiang from taxes for two years. We have to find a way to get some money, otherwise the 150,000 Xuanjia Army will not be able to support them!
Whichever way to get the money is the fastest, of course it’s to grab it!
At this moment, it was discovered that there were several large gold mines in the Xiongnu territory!
This is really a gift of pillows when you feel sleepy!
The Xiongnu and Southern Xinjiang are feuding. Conquering the Xiongnu can not only earn war coins, but also stabilize the rear area of Southern Xinjiang. If we can capture these gold mines, we won’t have to worry about money!
Su Che had already made up his mind and must find a way to fight the Huns!
…
Five days later, Tianqiong Palace, Zigan Hall.
A woman stood in the center of the hall, looking about twenty-three or four years old.
The woman was wearing a purple and gold dragon robe, her elegant face was painted with light plum blossom makeup, and her beautiful eyes were full of coldness.
Beside her lay an old man in official uniform, with a Dragon Power Sword stuck in his body.
"Leng Xiang, my imperial brother has made a huge mistake and is now captured by thieves. As the eldest daughter of the late emperor, I am responsible for supporting the building that is about to collapse and stabilizing the country that my ancestors of the Wang family have worked hard to build! As the saying goes, a country cannot survive in a day. Wu Zhu, why don’t you understand this?” The woman looked at the old man with disdain and said coldly.
"It is treason for a woman to become emperor, you..." The old man was dying, his eyes full of anger.
Before the old man could finish speaking, the woman interrupted: "My Wang clan has withered away, and the eldest of the remaining royal brothers is only nine years old. His mind is immature and cannot be used. I should be in charge of this world." !”
"If a woman misleads the country, my sky will perish..." A flash of despair flashed in the old man's eyes, and there was no movement.
The woman gritted her teeth. She didn't expect that the old man would still oppose her ascension to the throne until his death.
The woman's name is Wang Shiliu, she is the eldest daughter of the old emperor and the biological sister of the young emperor Wang Jin.
Since the young emperor was captured by King Zhenhu, Wang Shiliu stood up and proclaimed himself emperor on the pretext that the country would be left without a master for a day.
In such a feudal society, it is naturally unacceptable for a woman to become emperor. Many ministers stood up to oppose it, including the prime minister Leng Leng Fengyu, who had just died next to Wang Shiliu. old man.
At this moment, an old eunuch hurried in and was slightly startled when he saw Leng Fengyu's body in the hall, and then knelt down in front of Wang Shiliu.
Wang Shiliu glanced at the old eunuch, walked to the dragon chair and sat down slowly, and asked: "How is the battle ahead?"
