"In ancient times, pastries were made differently, although the way was very simple, most of them were made by steaming, but that's it, there are many ways. It's really not easy. Firefox drank tea water and tasted the difference in ancient pastries, which made her enjoy it very much.

Lately, she has been idle.

The imperial court went around quelling rebellions. It seems difficult to fix such a thing. History has been a little different from what she thought. There are a lot of them, but in a general direction, it seems that they will still go there.

Emperor Han Ling's interest in her didn't seem to be very great, because Firefox had been enjoying it lately, and he couldn't come up with some good things to attract Emperor Han's attention at all.

Of course. Emperor Ling of Han became more and more sensitive to military power. There are so many things he wants to solve, and this court is already in an extremely ethereal situation. It seems difficult to accomplish such a situation in such a situation.

So, Firefox has more attention to doing some small business, for example, going to the antique market. Even if it's an imitation. That was also from the Eastern Han Dynasty. You know, even if it's an imitation. It can also be sold for a high price in the Hereafter. Firefox suddenly felt that it was a good business, cheap and valuable. It's a pity that I can't take it back. This made Firefox very unhappy, but fortunately, there was something to satisfy the cravings in ancient times.

"The cavalry regiments have all passed the détente, two infantry regiments have established bridgehead positions, and two battalions of them will follow the cavalry. They will build the first forward base. If needed, they will also advance some distance to establish a second stronghold. Jia Xu looked at the telegram in his hand and said.

The crossing of the river went smoothly, there were no accidents, and everything went according to their usual training. The cavalry crossed the river faster than usual, and the Roundups reported that they had not found any Hun scout cavalry nearby, which was in their best interest.

"Hmm. Do a good job of reconnaissance, as well as logistics, and the rest, we don't have to worry too much about such things. Shang Wu said after listening to the telegram. The specific matters will be handled by Ma Heng, and the Republican Army will mainly provide some logistical and intelligence support, so that they can get a more favorable development of the situation.

"Well, Ma Heng has already paid attention to this. However, there is no major information, and the specific situation is up to us. The cavalry is the fastest, and there will be movement in two days. Jia Xu said.

According to the plan, after the cavalry regiment crossed the river, when it was safe to do so, they would quickly move north, and they would boldly go deep into the battle, give full play to their mobility and quickly enter the core area of the Huns, attack their core area, and create greater disturbances for them. They expected more movement in two days, so they moved very fast. This is the essence of cavalry combat, taking advantage of their speed and maintaining mobility, and they can achieve great victories.

"We'll just be patient." Shang Wu said as he looked at the simple map of Hexi. Shang Wu was thinking about something, and he thought that their infantry could go north to some places, kill from the other side of the Yellow River to Bingzhou, and create some trouble for the Huns attacking Bingzhou. But Shangwu did not say such a situation, because if they did so, they would need to use the strength of an infantry division, which was still very difficult for them. The main thing is that the state of grain reserves is still not good for them.

"There are also some new situations in the intelligence services, they are businessmen in disguise, they have brought Dong Zhuo's friendliness, they will exchange money and food for more firearms, and they want to be able to maintain such a good cooperative relationship, and they also think that if necessary, further cooperation can be carried out." Jia Xu said.

"Are they willing to borrow money?" Shang Wu asked.

"Yes, they are willing to borrow money. It's just that they don't know how to pay it back, or rather, what kind of thing to pledge? Jia Xu said. Jia Xu thinks that Dong Zhuo is a hero, he is a character, but for the situation of local characters, his situation is not too good. Especially at the moment when he pays attention to his birth, Jia Xu's situation is also very unfavorable, so the Republican Army is more suitable for him, but Dong Zhuo is not suitable for the Republican Army. After all, that's an ambitious guy.

"Well, they can use the open market as collateral, or, in the areas they control, we can rent some areas as free trade zones, and they levy them, or exempt them from certain taxes, and if they take the form of low tax incentives, we can consider lending them money." Shang Wu said that Shang Wu first considered the problem of the free market, because only such a problem can solve the current series of situations, especially to make their market more open, and only in this way can their situation become much more favorable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to open up such a situation. It's going to make their situation even worse.

Market demand, yes, what they need is such a situation. Relying only on the military market to support it will not be able to make the development of the Republican Army's base areas more benign, and only by opening up more civilian markets will this be what Shangwu hopes for the most. The market of the imperial court is relatively only partially opened, and they may be able to solve such things from the local level.

"This is a solution, but I am worried that the imperial court may cause great trouble to the other party. For example, they knew that Dong Zhuo was in contact with us, after all, such a situation was unavoidable. Sooner or later, the court will know. In that case, Dong Zhuo's situation does not seem to be too favorable. Jia Xu said.

"Unless there's a way to get to that point." Jia Xu said. Shang Wu looked at Jia Xu.

"This method is to let Dong Zhuo's military strength be further developed, and the imperial court is worried that he will become another source of rebellion, in this case, it will form a great constraint. In this case, the situation is still very favorable to them. Jia Xu said.

Jia Xu easily grasped the key factor, which was the rapid development of the local warlord power. In this case, this threat to the imperial court cannot be ignored, and if it can be managed, another problem will arise.

"Huh." Shang Wu laughed after hearing this.

"You guy, you're so poisonous." Shang Wu said with a smile.

"The imperial court has fought several wars in a row, so to speak, each time it is a loss-making war, and they can't even recover the cost of the war, if this continues, the imperial court's finances will not be able to support such a situation at all, and they will become extremely disadvantageous sooner or later. How they should respond to such a situation is simply the most difficult thing to deal with. Shang Wu said. Shang Wu immediately saw the most vicious part of this, that is, finance, the continuous consumption of financial power, made the financial capacity of the imperial court extremely difficult, and the developed Dong Zhuo warlord power has formed a situation that the tail is not lost, if the other party rebels, the imperial court is unable to deal with it, the only way is to take a more moderate way to suppress, but if you suppress it, you must be more clever. Therefore, it seems that the imperial court will turn a blind eye to such a thing. The two sides will not tear their faces for the time being. Jia Xu can say that he has found an extremely ingenious balance point where both sides are afraid of each other, so that the situation of the other party will not collapse, but the relationship between the two sides is also extremely tense, but the tension has not yet collapsed.

"I personally admire this view, and it seems that we must do the same. At present, the most difficult thing for us is not being able to open the market, but we also have to guard against some special situations of the other party. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. What kind of special situation? Jia Xu asked.

"Stability, that is, security, I am worried about the other party, once there is a change, the situation will be very unfavorable for us. Such a situation will put us in a very bad situation. Shang Wu said worriedly.

"Hmm. I think we should tighten the control of the troops there, for example, when there is a security need, to garrison troops. At the same time, in order to meet our needs, we also need to establish strong logistical channels. Only then can our situation become extremely favorable. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. This is a need for our safety. Shang Wu said.

Most of the agreements are temporary, if you simply rely on time to limit them, you can't reach such a point at all, you know, Dong Zhuo dared to cooperate with them, he had already made a possible act of betrayal, how could Shangwu let such a situation exist, what they needed to make was to adjust and make such a situation more beneficial to themselves. Only then can they be in a more favourable position.

"I agree with this situation, we must fully consider our security, and open up more markets around us in such a model." Shang Wu said.

That's where the current IRA needs, they need more markets, and the highest priority to open markets is to open them peacefully. Or take some favorable measures to force the other side to open, which is the most beneficial way for the Republican Army. They hope that this approach will be able to accomplish the promotion of such a favorable situation.
