Shixun was not so mean, and he didn't think about killing Jiang Ji, and because Jiang Ji did not pose any substantial threat to him, but Jiang Gan was different. After receiving Shixun's warning, he considered how he should treat him if Jiang Ji really came to the Western Regions. Can he contract with me and assist Lu Bu together? While assisting Lu Bu, will he threaten the stability of the Central Plains? The chaotic times are desolate, and people are not as good as dogs. After finally peace, how can he let the princes destroy it?

Besides, Ying Yuantu has a criminal record. He once fought with Guo Tu and Xin Ping under Yuan Shao, and then planned for Cao Chong to trap Cao Ang. This is not an honest and obedient guy.

When we finally met Zheng Ji, we had a conversation with each other, but because Zheng Ji's source of information was relatively narrow, he could not see through Jiang Gan's thoughts. Jiang Gan found out that he didn't say a truth in this guy's mouth! If he was a mediocre person, he would be just a wise man for a lifetime. I'm afraid he would not be able to control it himself. He would be a trouble for the court in the future and also a trouble for my subordinate Jiang Ziyi!

So just kill it.

Jiang Ziyi really doesn’t have any Bodhisattva’s heart... Or rather, those who accomplish great things are not limited to minor details. In order to fulfill the instructions of the great masters, the mission of the court, and to make the Central Plains settle down and no longer cause troubles, he can also harden his heart and kill decisively. As a spy, his heart is absolutely impossible to be weak.

As for Chen Gong, Jiang Gan didn't want to kill him. Although this person was demoted, he still had a passion for Lu Bu. The more Jiang Gan understood Lu Bu, the more he understood that the guy was square on the outside and round on the inside. Although he had a violent temper, he was not hard enough, and he was very nostalgic. Therefore, it would not be of any benefit to him to kill Chen Gong rashly. If he showed his strength and turned Lu Bu's suspicion, it would be better to monitor Chen Gong closely. It would be better to wait for the opportunity to take action.

Chen Gong did submit a letter and took advantage of the unstable opportunity of Cao Ang's position to make a decision in advance, asking Lu Bu to return to Liang and join forces with Liu Bei. The letter was not handed over to Lu Bu, and was intercepted by Jiang Gan halfway, and burned to ashes with a fire. Jin Yan's incident was specially deceived by Jiang Ji'er.

After killing Pang Ji, Jiang Gan hurried to the Duke's Mansion to meet Lu Bu. He said that I ran into a monk today, saying that he had gone to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures by the order of Prince Wei. When Lu Bu heard this, he frowned and thought that there was such a ridiculous thing? Didn't his son-in-law send someone to ask for help from me? "Where is the person?"

Jiang Gan smiled slightly: "I have killed him."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and asked angrily: "What does Ziyi mean?"

Jiang Gan bowed and said, "Don't blame the king, it's not the right or wrong to the prince sent him, but the King Liyang sent him." Then he talked and said that I had reported to you that the prince was polite to Buddhism. Therefore, he was not favored by the Lord of Wei, and seemed to be deposed. In fact, this was caused by the trap of others. I have found out that, and then, Gong Yuantu made this plan for King Liyang Cao Chong. Then, Gong Ji pretended to be the monk and came to the west on the order of Cao Chong, pretending that it was the prince sent him, and wanted to wait for the lobby king to rebel and save him. But once the king returned to Liangzhou, "the prince will be beyond help. The emperor is not to be held hostage by others, and if the prince gets the king as a helper, he will invade the master. Who can tolerate it?" He copied what Zheng Ji said very easily.

Lu Bu still had doubts: "Is what Ziyi said true?" It was not sent by Cao Ang, but by Cao Chong? What evidence do you have?

Jiang Gan smiled and said, "The monk called himself 'Xuan Tu' and came with a certain caravan. The guards of the East Gate, the people in the caravan, and the subordinates can all prove it. His body is still in the minister's house, and his appearance is like this. Can the king know it?"

After hearing Jiang Gan's description, Lu Bu couldn't help but say hatefully: "It's Zheng Ji!" He had met Zheng Ji, and he also knew that the order that Jiang Ji had joined the Cao Chong Palace to arrest the wanted Jiang Yuantu was also sent to Liangzhou. Yang Fu specially sent someone to Gaochang. For Yang Fu, it would be best that Lu Bu was willing to fight westward and no longer deal with the affairs of Liangzhou. Therefore, he never reported all kinds of important political situations in Liangzhou, but only arrested some irrelevant trivial matters to the Western Regions to show that I am still your prime minister and inform you of everything.

So since it is really Jiang Ji, it must be not Cao Ang's person but Cao Chong's person. He just "I was a senator from Jizhou and would not kill him immediately." Jiang Gan said that I killed Jiang Ji without asking you for instructions and came to take the blame. He just said, "I know this matter and the king knows it, so be careful not to leak it out. King Liyang sent Jiang Ji to lobby the king. If the prince knew it, he would think that the king wanted to give up. If the master of Wei knew it, he would think that the king wanted to take the opportunity to plan for the Central Plains." That's why I secretly killed him to avoid any trouble.

This logic is a bit confusing. With Lu Bu's intelligence, he couldn't figure it out in a hurry. He felt that Jiang Yaxiang was really thinking about it for his own sake. He thought so deeply enough, but he was "I am the wrong monster."

Jiang Gan took the opportunity to make a new proposal and asked Lu Bu to continue to advance westward: "Gan knew that the king was worried about his son-in-law, but he had to consolidate his power first. If he got the king and joined the soldiers of Liangzhou, he could shake the world. Even if the prince was deposed, he could not die, and he could also hope for the future." The old wisdom who continued to copy Jiang Ji, now the copyright of these words was Jiang.

Lu Bu pondered for a while and said, okay, since Cao Chong wanted me to return to Liangzhou, I would never be able to understand his wish, but the enemy hoped that I must oppose Ziyi preparing food and fodder for me as soon as possible. We will attack Yanqi next month!

Yanqi is a major country in the Western Regions. Its territory is less than half of that of Cheshi, but its population is twice as strong, and its troops are also very strong. Because there is a large lake in its territory called "Xihai", or "Qinhai", which is the Bosten Lake in later generations. It has obtained "the benefits of fish, salt, puffs, and reeds", so it has a strong wealth. At this time, the Yanqi Kingdom had also annexed the surrounding Weixu, and Weili and other small countries established its capital in Nanhe City.

Not only that, Yanqi's geographical location is also very good. It leans against the North Mountains (middle section of Tianshan Mountains), the Dahe River (Tarim River) in the south, and the Huangsha Shuo Desert to the south, which is only connected to Gaochang on the west bank of the Qinhai Sea, just as the key to the Silk Road South Road. Going west through Yanqi, it is Kucha, and the Qiancheng, where the Duhu Mansion in the Western Regions of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is located in Kucha. Therefore, after Lu Bu recovered Cheshi, he ignored the Wusun in the west and Shanshan in the south, and first marched to Yanqi toward it.

Yanqi's attitude towards Liang Kingdom was to be strictly guarded to prevent invasion, and to send envoys to pay tribute and request harmony. In this regard, Jiang Gan's plan for Lu Bu was to "destroy Guo by falsely saying that he escorted the new Western Regions Protector to its Qiancheng, and proposed to borrow the way from Yanqi.

The Western Regions Protectorate was granted by Wei Ting shortly after Lu Bu seized the Cheshi. In fact, all the generals of Liang Kingdom were fighting for this position, but in the end, family affection gained the upper hand. Lu Bu chose to be his wife's uncle Wei Xu as his role. However, he also requested the appointment of a Western Region Chief Secretary and a Wuji School Captain, who were assigned to Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng to make the rain and dew evenly share.

The envoy went to Yanqi to borrow a road. King Yanqi did not dare to refuse, but he was not good to agree directly. He asked, "Captains will take office, can Kucha be allowed?" The envoy curled his lips: "The Heavenly Kingdom set up a Western Region Protector to protect all countries, why should Kucha be allowed?" King Yanqi thought to himself that before I was born, the Western Region Protector was abolished. After so many years of requesting reconstruction, you have to say hello to Kucha. "If he blocks the road and does not allow the protection to settle in it, what can you do?"

The capital of Kucha is called Yancheng, and it is still in the east. In other words, the Western Regions Protectors have to pass through most of the territory of Kucha and even pass through its capital before they can settle down. I think it is impossible for them to agree.

The messenger sneered, "If he does not give in to the Tao, it is against the will of heaven and against the will of the people, and he must attack him. Therefore, our lord will personally lead the army and guard the escorts to go."

King Yanqi was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself that I should follow the old rules, so I would lead hundreds or thousands of people to its Gancheng. As long as I send troops along the way to monitor you in the name of police guards, it is not bad to let you go. But why, Liang Gong also wants to come in person? Then it is impossible to have one or two thousand troops, and at least five or six thousand people... How dare I let you pass through the land with a swagger?

He quickly dissuaded, saying that the road was narrow and the situation in Kucha was not clear. How could Liang Gong take the risk? He would wait for a while and ask me to say hello to Kucha and try to lobby them to give it up and protect the city. However, the envoy did not listen at all and threw a sentence: "My lord is probably already in the way." Then he flashed.

I am escorting the Western Regions to perform my duties, and the name of Dayi is in my opinion, so I came to tell you, but it was just a notice, and it was not really necessary to obtain your consent.

The King of Yanqi had no choice but to contact Kuz. In the end, the two countries united 30,000 troops to resist the Liang army, that is, to fight in the Weixu area north of Qinhai. The north of this place was a mountain, a lake in the south, and nearly forty miles in the middle, which was suitable for cavalry to gallop. Lu Bu first sent thousands of Cheshi troops to go forward, but was defeated by Yanqi's main force. The King of Yanqi sent his generals to chase him. Wei Xu of Liang was in the north and Hou Cheng was in the south, and suddenly rushed out and cut off the enemy in the middle. Then Lu Bu led Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals to launch a wave-like charge from the front. Yanqi's army was defeated, and the king escaped and fled to the Nanhe River of the royal city.

It was not until this time that the reinforcements in Kucha swayed and had just arrived at the Qin coast. They were attacked by the defeated army and could not stand firm. They simply took a horse and retreated. Then the Liang army established a camp under the city of Nanhe. Lu Bu led the generals to patrol the city and whipped the whip and scolded: "As for this land camp, you will be able to defeat it within three days!" He ordered people to write a battle report and send it back to Gaochang.

When the Asian Prime Minister Jiang Gan received the war report, he immediately polished it and sent someone to pass it on to Luoyang. At the same time, he wrote a secret letter in a password, and Xiang Shixun reported in detail about the Western Regions. He said in the letter that Pang Ji had indeed arrived in Gaochang, but this person actually wanted to persuade Lu Bu to return to Liangzhou. I saw that he could not be kept, so he was forced to kill him.

When the news reached Luoyang, Shixun had already set out to fight for Liaodong. He received the secret letter on the way. He couldn't help but sigh: "Yong Yuantus said that 'smart was just because he was smart.'" Since Lu Bu had already entered the Western Regions, it would be more difficult to get out of here. The Wei Dynasty could temporarily relax its vigilance against the northern part of Liangzhou and concentrate its efforts to draw Western Shu. So when he returned from the expedition to Goguryeo, he received news and regained the news. The important officials gathered to discuss and decided to send troops to Yong, Liang and Jing to attack Shu in an all-round way. It is estimated that the troops would reach an unprecedented 250,000.
