Cao Cao received the decree, accepted the appointment of the king of the Western Regions, and followed the will of Emperor Wu Shun of Shu to build a royal city in the Western Regions.
After discussing with his subordinates, Cao Cao decided to establish the royal city in the territory of the Cheshi Kingdom, and the location here had two advantages, one was that he could manage the countries of the Western Regions, and he was not too far away from the Central Plains, so that he could show his intentions and not be suspicious.
Cao Cao chose the address, and in order to celebrate, the countries of the Western Regions could only reluctantly provide all the materials needed to build the city.
Most of their Western Regions alliance has been captured by the White Tiger Legion and the army of Cao Cao, the king of the Western Regions, and if they don't make a little effort in building the city, their army will belong to the king of the Western Regions.
The kings or queens of the Western Regions also understood one thing.
The Central Plains Dynasty has taken a fancy to their land, although now they are talking in their own country and have a certain prestige, but with the king of the Western Regions and the protectorate of the Western Regions, they can't behave and do things as high-profile as before.
The nominal duty of the king of the Western Regions is to coordinate the relations between the countries, but they have elite soldiers in hand, and if something happens between them, it will not be as simple as coordination.
Besides, there is a Western Regions Protectorate, and they are even more restrained, and the Metropolitan Protectorate is nominally to help the Western Regions defend against foreign enemies, but the kings of the Western Regions don't think they have any foreign enemies.
If there is a foreign enemy, then this foreign enemy has conquered them.
In general, the government affairs of the Western Regions are grasped by the king of the Western Regions.
In terms of military affairs, the Protectorate of the Western Regions is fully responsible, and they only need to take care of their own domestic affairs.
From this point of view, the kings of the Western Regions are no different from the county magistrates of the Central Plains, if you want to say the difference, then their names are good, and they are all king-level.
At first, the countries of the Western Regions were dissatisfied with this arrangement of the Central Plains Imperial Court, but after the envoys they sent returned, the countries expressed their willingness to accept the control of the Central Plains Imperial Court.
Wu Shun met with the envoys of the Western Regions at the court in Kyoto.
Let this group of envoys from the Western Regions see the wealth and strength of the imperial court in the Central Plains, the palace is full of golden splendor, carved dragons and painted columns, eunuchs and palace maids are endless, and the palace guards are full of spirit and mighty.
These guards have all followed Wu Shun to fight on the battlefield, all of them have a murderous aura, as long as they stare at those nobles in the Western Regions, some of them are so frightened that their legs are weak.
After staying in Kyoto for a few days, these envoys were reluctant to go back to the Western Regions to blow the wind and sand, and the prosperity of Kyoto made them linger.
The crowded streets, the variety of shops, the fun and novelty objects, and the lush gardens are all over the place In short, when they returned to the Western Regions, these envoys exchanged all the money they could use for goods.
Of course, Wu Shun also took this opportunity to send an embassy to visit the countries of the Western Regions, and the caravans that traveled west with the mission were also caravans, which were full of goods from the Central Plains and were ready to go to the Western Regions to sell, and at the same time bought back the treasures of the Western Regions, some things that were not available in the Central Plains.
In Wu Shun's words, since the Silk Road has been opened, it must be put to good use.
All the good things that can be learned outside must be introduced, and some of the domestic distinctive and superfluous things will be exported to the outside world.
With the army of the king of the Western Regions and the capital protectorate, the Central Plains people are very safe in the Western Regions, of course, when they go out of the Western Regions and enter Central Asia, security is the biggest problem that the caravan will face.
No, at the end of the third year of Huaxia, the Western Regions King City had just been built, and Cao Cao, the king of the Western Regions, had not enjoyed a few days of good life, when a caravan was robbed and killed.
The caravan of the Mi family in the Central Plains who was robbed, Mi Zhu is a celebrity in front of Wu Shun, responsible for the overall planning of the country's commerce.
To a certain extent, the caravan of the Mi family is the official merchant of the imperial court.
Cao Cao can ignore the face of ordinary people, but the face of the Mi family must be given.
Because that involves the face of the Central Plains court.
After investigating, Cao Cao learned that it was the people of the Sabbath who robbed the caravan and robbed the goods.
At this time, Zhang Xiong was still in the Western Regions, and the protector of Shu couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, and when he heard the news, he immediately wanted to lead his troops to fight over.
If you dare to rob and kill the caravan of Shu, you must be prepared to face the Shu army.
However, Cao Cao still felt that the war between the two countries was of great importance, and after appeasing Zhang Xiong, he passed the news to the Central Plains.
When Wu Shun learned that the Anxi Empire dared to rob and kill the caravan, he was immediately furious and threatened to send troops to destroy Anxi.
Why the Mi family's caravan was robbed and killed, Wu Shun actually knew it very well in his heart.
Everything was planned After knowing that Wu Shun was angry, Cao Cao was a little troubled.
He, the king of the Western Regions, has only been in office for a few days, how could he have encountered such a thing.
It's just that there are no civil officials around him, and there are no strategists who can help him analyze the situation and make strategies.
"Lord, the imperial court means to rest in peace," Xu Huang asked.
"Then you don't need to say it, you must want us to fight with the rest of the country, and fight the imperial court to receive the Western Regions."
Xiahoudun said indignantly.
He thought that Wu Shun just couldn't get used to seeing that they still had more than 10,000 horses here, and wanted to send them to fight with the rest of the country and consume their strength.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with him thinking so.
Don't talk about him, even Cao Cao thought so at the beginning.
"Your Majesty was very angry about the caravan, but he did not give the order to start a war, not long after the Western Expedition ended, and there was not much food and grass in the country."
Cao Cao said.
"Then my lord, what do you mean by Your Majesty, if you are angry, you won't say peace, and we can't fight without an order."

Xu Huang said.
"In this way, when the second general and Gao Du are protected, we will discuss how to solve this matter."
Cao Cao said.
Now in the Western Regions, it's not him who has the final say, and if there is such a thing that is big or small, it's better to discuss it.
On the way to the Western Regions Royal City, Zhang Xiong and Gao Shun were also discussing this matter.
Zhang Xiong's temper would not tolerate such a thing, and he insisted on leading his troops to the expedition to teach An Xiguo a memorable lesson.
"Second general, our dignified Central Plains is a state of etiquette, and undeclared war will damage the prestige of the Central Plains."
Now that Gao Shun's position has been promoted to the protector of the Western Regions, he has to think about more than just how to command the White Tiger Battalion.
As the most powerful person in the Western Regions, Gao Shun had to consider the prestige and face of the Central Plains.
Sometimes it's slow to fight, and it's not famous to be famous.
Although it is said that the caravan was robbed and killed, the two sides have not negotiated, and it is not known whether the caravan people are dead or not, and whether the goods are lost or not.
Such an excuse is not enough to justify the war.
"Second General, Gao Duhu is right, the caravan's affairs can be negotiated first and then decided."
Huang Zhong also said.
"Okay, go to Cao Cao and see what he has to say."
Zhang Xiong's temper is very short-tempered, but after so many years, he will not disobey advice.
Gao Shun and Huang Zhong both felt that it was not appropriate to act rashly, of course he would not be stupid enough to really lead his troops to kill him.
In two days, Zhang Xiong and others rushed to the Western Regions Royal City, and Cao Cao and the kings of several nearby kingdoms went out of the city to greet them.
This made Zhang Xiong, who was angry, feel much better
