Chapter 2174
: The wind in the West is strong, so some sand is normal
...
"Capture the city commander?" Jia Kui felt as if he had heard something wrong and looked at Kabechi in surprise.
This kind of unusual words sound like he is going to go to war. And looking at the map on the table, is he preparing to attack Pamirs?
Recalling the troops and morale under Cabbage's command, that high-spirited attitude is still engraved in my mind. And now the vibrant camp reflects the beliefs of this army. Thinking about it this way, it seems even more outrageous.
In this situation, what should a Han Chinese do?
He betrayed his brother's trust, passed this information to the Han Dynasty, and saved the country from danger.
Or should I abandon my own sense of family and country and let my brothers go crazy...
However, thinking of the latter possibility, Jia Kui couldn't help trembling in his heart. Being self-aware enough, he knew very well that if the Han Empire at this time really received such information, it would definitely send troops in anger to let the people of this place understand what the Han Empire was.
Jia Kui, who had enjoyed a stable and prosperous life for a period of time, was very clear about the war potential and war power possessed by the Han Empire at that time. The war against the Xiongnu, which had ended not long ago, further demonstrated that the power deployment of the Han Empire was definitely not as low as before.
Even though this place is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, it will definitely not become an obstacle on the road.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry stationed in the Pamir Mountains is naturally needless to say.
Jia Kui could question the character and personality of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but he would never question the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Whether for the sake of his country or for his brothers, stopping Cabecchi from doing such rash behavior has become Jia Kui's top priority.
"Don't worry, I've already found out. Among the dozen or so city captains around here, there are only three Han captains besides me. The other captains are all held by other people..." Kabechi stretched out his hand and grabbed some small flags, and directly inserted them on the corresponding map, explaining carefully.
After this explanation, even Jia Kui, who had never been to the Pamir region, had a very detailed understanding of the terrain of the Pamir region and the corresponding military command structure.
The Pamirs area is different from other places. This place covers a very large area, but not all of the gathering points that are actually inhabited have become cities, and some of them are still being repaired and built.
Due to the standard pyramid structure of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry and the fact that the Liangzhou people were not good at farming, Li Jue and others did not forcibly dispatch personnel to ensure the local crop economy, nor did they supervise these local cities or gathering points.
For Li Jue, instead of spending time on these things, it would be better to think about how to further strengthen himself on the land of the Parthian Empire and kill his boring time.
Li Jue himself was like this in this respect, and he told others about other people.
For Wan Peng, although his military power is not particularly good, it does not mean that his internal affairs are good. Governing such a vast land is not easy even if there are not many people. To some extent, such a vast area has far exceeded Wan Peng's own governing scope.
Whether it was the military or internal affairs, Wan Peng finally took over the military while tending to let the internal affairs run their course.
It depends on when his own internal affairs personnel come online. If they come online, there will be something to deal with. If they don’t, Wan Peng can only grit his teeth and frown to deal with it.
In the local army, it was under this kind of free-range situation that many ethnic minorities and tribes appeared and served as the captains of the cities of the Han Empire. When facing these captains at the beginning, Kabeqi was still full of caution in his heart to avoid conflicts.
As a result, after a serious communication, Kabechi finally confirmed one thing, that is, these captains did not have the endorsement of official certification, but were more of the forces behind them, or the local residents, who selected themselves. It’s just that the Pamir region did not deny it, which gave a feeling of self-determination by local officials.
This almost free-range state naturally allowed Kabechi to have other ideas in his mind, ideas to better realize his dreams.
As the Han captain, Kabechi was not sure whether there was sand in the box. If he accidentally stepped on the sand, all his efforts would be wasted, so he would not move.
However, as for other minority captains, Kabechi had conducted careful investigations and tests to confirm the strength and background of the other party and strive to ensure that there would be no mistakes.
How could these captains dare to hide the truth when facing a strong man like Kabechi, a strong man from the Han Empire with an official background?
The gap between the two sides is not just the gap between the regular army and the ragtag army.
"So the general uses the system of the Han Empire to directly intimidate those people?" Jia Kui felt his expression change a little, but then he asked in a calm manner.
An outsider can use the identity of his own country to intimidate those ethnic minorities and those national tribes, and make those so-called tribal warriors choose to surrender directly.
It sounds good, but when you think about it carefully, it feels very strange.
Jia Kui always felt like he had seen this familiar method of operation before...
"That's right. Through a bit of military deterrence, the posts of the captains and lieutenants in these dozen cities can be easily replaced. Then simply report it to General Wan Peng in the Congling region for review, and the change will be complete." Kabechi described the simplicity and smoothness of it.
Jia Kui looked at the city and county soldiers marked on the map. There were more than a dozen cities with 20,000 to 30,000 troops. They were able to directly complete the change of military power in this way. Should we say that they are worthy of being the Xiliang Iron Cavalry? They actually indulged in such a big flaw.
"Then what is the general going to do after taking these things?" Jia Kui took a deep breath, estimated the mental power in his mind, hesitated for a moment, and said with some awareness.
Given the current distance, as a person with spiritual talent, even if the other party is a divine cultivator who has broken through the realm, if something really goes wrong, there is still hope by forcing a one-for-one exchange.
"Once I lead my men to take over these positions, no matter who is sent to Chang'an to report on their work, the opportunity will be in our hands. As for those three Han captains, there is nothing to be afraid of..." Cabecchi said sincerely with confidence.
The kind of things that happened last year that caused many people to suffer unexpected events must never happen again. If it happens again, even a fool would know that it is wrong.
But if only two or three people are in trouble, then it is no problem at all. After all, the winds in the Western Regions are strong, so some sandstorms are normal. (End of this chapter)
