The Turkic army slowly began to pull out the camp to the east under the command of Tuoba Shishu, and the defenders on the Great Wall also got the news at this time, Zhang Deqing learned the news that the Eastern Turks were marching eastward, so he was relieved, and a few days ago the scouts came to report that there seemed to be a mutiny in the camp of the Eastern Turks, and many corpses were brought out. At that time, I thought it was the suspicious plan of the Eastern Turks, and wanted to trick themselves into sending troops to attack, but now it seems that there is indeed something changed in the army, which made the Eastern Turks turn eastward, but the specific reason is unknown, so Zhang Deqing, who was puzzled, informed the movements of the Eastern Turks to Li Wenyuan, who was far away in Dunhuang at this time.

Li Wenyuan looked at the information in his hand, and nodded secretly, the Eastern Turks hit a big bag on the Great Wall, at this time they were frustrated and retreated, and turned to the east to find their weakness Wuwei County, but this is what those Eastern Turks take for granted, if it was before, he might still be overwhelmed, but now with the precious time of the Great Wall garrison, the defense line of Wuwei County is set up like an iron pass, and it can also make the Eastern Turks and Liang Shi hit another bag. So he informed Zhuang Fudi, who was sitting in Wuwei County, of the news of the eastward advance of the Eastern Turks, and asked him to prepare earlier.

After the defeat of the Eastern Turkic army in the attack on the Great Wall, Shibi Khan vomited blood and fainted, Tuoba Shishu strengthened his control ability in the military camp to eliminate dissidents, it had already taken more than a month, in this precious month's time, the people of Wuwei County with the help and organization of the government, successfully completed the harvest of grain in the fields, at this time, it is also not necessary to lose a part of the harvest, after all, the Eastern Turks may come at any time, and it is better to have a harvest than no harvest.

After Zhuang Fudi organized the army to cooperate with Li Wen's government to harvest the grain, he was a lot more relieved, at least with this food, he could hold on longer, and at the same time, the people of Wuwei County could also hold on longer. This time, because the Eastern Turks wasted longer than his most optimistic estimate outside the Great Wall, this time the army in charge of defending Wuwei County was no longer only one Seventh Army.

This time Wuwei County faced an invasion, and Li Wenyuan's army gathered on the grassland in the west, Wuwei County's defensive strength was too weak, and Wuwei County as the first city to be pacified by Li Wenyuan, Yiying's welfare policy was also the earliest and most comprehensive, it was difficult for the people to recruit soldiers under the peace and contentment of the people, but the people in the newly conquered other places were very enthusiastic about joining the army, and the recruitment points were often full, but the Western Regions Army had regulations, the only son in a family was not recruited, and if there were many brothers, it was recruited by the Long March. However, even if it is a matter of voluntariness, it is still necessary to take into account the merits. But at this time, the supplementary troops being trained in the barracks in other parts of the Western Regions also had to take into account the losses of the troops on the battlefield on the Western Front, and at this time they could not take out too many troops to support the Eastern Front, and the 3,000 cavalry that had finally been put together was now slowly assembling towards Zhangye County, preparing to gallop east to aid Wuwei County after the army was assembled in Zhangye County, but it would take some time for the farthest army to come from Jimo County, so there was no need to think about the reinforcements from outside.

But this time Wuwei County is in danger, in order to protect their rights and interests, the people of Wuwei County are also prepared for the worst, but rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone people. So the people of Wuwei County sent the young and strong people of each household to the recruitment point of Wuwei County to participate in the Wuwei Guard War.

Since ancient times, the taboo of generals is to expand the army privately, after all, every time with the private expansion of the army comes a large-scale rebellion for the generals, so Zhuang Fudi informed Li Wenyuan of the enthusiasm of the people of Wuwei County to join the army and the plan he conceived to form a temporary garrison division of Wuwei.

Through Xinying, Li Wenyuan, who was far away in Dunhuang County, got the news later in the day, and wrote Zhuang Fudi's plan in detail on the paper: Now the people of Wuwei County have sent their children to join the army in order to protect themselves, and Wuwei County does not have any timely support from peripheral reinforcements, according to his own deduction, even the fastest two cavalry divisions will come to support half a month after the arrival of the Eastern Turkic army, so what Wuwei County lacks most now is the strength to hold on for half a month. With only the Seventh Army Corps, he could only hold the city of Wuwei County, but he could not hold the people of the entire Wuwei County, so he planned to organize the young and strong of Wuwei County into four Wuwei garrison divisions, which were in accordance with the regular Western Regions military divisions, and cooperated with the Seventh Army to block the invading enemy in the entire Wuwei County, trying to make the battlefield as close to the border of Wuwei County as possible to prevent the Eastern Turks from attacking the people.

Li Wenyuan picked up Zhuang Fudi's personal information on the side and looked at it repeatedly, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, the previous changes in the Eastern Turkic camp outside the Great Wall had already reached Li Wenyuan's ears through the night owl, and its details were much more detailed than what Shibi Khan knew, but Zhuang Fudi's innocent identity and the idea of the people's noble country being the lightest advocate advocated by Li Wenyuan's series of policies were very supportive, so he no longer hesitated, and directly picked up the pen and wrote something on another piece of paper, It was handed over to the courier to be sent back to Wuwei County through the letter eagle.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhuang Fudi also received a document sent back by Li Wenyuan: Wuwei is the greatest, and the Ninth Army of the Western Regions Army is chartered, and the students of Yingyang Mansion in Wuwei County will be selected as best as possible as the military chief to form the officer corps of the Ninth Army, but after the war, they must accept the reorganization and adjustment, and the rest will be done by Zhuang Fudi himself.

Zhuang Fudi naturally didn't know that all his information had already been in front of Li Wenyuan, and even some things about his grandfather's generation were found out by the night owl, he just knew that Li Wenyuan not only agreed to the matter of expanding his army in Wuwei County, but also gave himself a legal establishment of the Ninth Army without hesitation. A sentiment of the death of a confidant surged into Zhuang Fudi's heart, and what Zhuang Fudi saw and heard under Li Wenyuan's rule in the Western Regions was also a politician who understood that Li Wenyuan was not someone else's kind of politician who promised some benefits and deceived fools, and he was also looking forward to the world of the new order that Li Wenyuan revealed to himself in his words.

Since Li Wenyuan has given him an absolute new position, then he has to use all kinds of means to keep Wuwei County and repel the Eastern Turks.
