Li Wenyuan sat in the governor's office of Dunhuang County, looking at all kinds of information sent by the night owls, including about the civil and people's livelihood under his rule, the trend of officialdom, the arrogance of the separatist side in various parts of the Central Plains, and the progress of the war against the Turks on the Western Front.

On the whole, it was a rough look, and after Li Wenyuan roughly understood the situation under his rule, he no longer bothered to look at them one by one. Since Qiu Niang's night owls have formed a system and can operate independently, Li Wenyuan no longer cares about many things, and they can choose the best way to deal with it by themselves.

Xue Renyue, who had served as a county guard in Wuwei County, was impeached by the Yanguan because his father Xue Ju had expanded his sphere of influence to the edge of Wuwei County after the incident.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Wenyuan appointed Xue Renyue as the pacification envoy of Central Asia, responsible for the development of the newly conquered land in Central Asia, such as building cities, resettling the aborigines and possible Han immigrants in the future, and at the same time specifically investigating the geography and hydrology of the land, so as to facilitate the resettlement of the garrison in the future.

In order to make his memory of history more reliable and become his golden finger, Li Wenyuan promoted the use of the names of the five continents and seven oceans in the Western Regions as early as possible, and named many famous mountains and rivers in the official naming of future generations, so that it was more convenient for him to search for memories in his mind.

After Xue Renyue received Li Wenyuan's order, he directly packed his things and prepared to go west, he was also yearning for this war against the Western Turks, no matter whether he was a scholar or a martial artist, who could resist the temptation of honor brought by expanding the territory of the country? In particular, under the subtle influence of Li Wenyuan, there is a disdain for civil war in the Western Regions army, but this disdain is not a lack of fighting; in Li Wenyuan's words: Although we disdain to carry out a national civil war, if anyone obstructs the reunification of China, it is the enemy, and in the face of the enemy, it will be as cold as a cold winter, and it will not be tolerated.

When Xue Renyue was waiting for the new county guard who came to take over the official duties in Wuwei County, he was watching Li Wenyuan invite a famous painter and a skilled engraver to design and depict it in detail, and then printed a large number of Western Turkic topographic maps issued in the army, on which the material production of the Western Turks, tribal settlements, and the location of the royal court were marked in detail. In Xue Renyue's hand was the second edition, which was a new version of the map that was revised after Li Wenyuan received the parchment scroll presented by Lu Boya. Originally, this kind of sophisticated military map was only allowed to be distributed in the army, but Xue Renyue, as a pacification envoy in Central Asia, was in charge of all affairs in the Western Turkic lands, and his authority was so high that he could also access this thing, so Xue Renyue also received a map, and at this time he was seriously studying many things such as the location of the city and the location of the garrison.

At this time, the sound of knocking on the door woke Xue Renyue from his contemplation, and when he looked up, he saw that the person standing at the door was none other than Li Wenyuan, the county magistrate of Yongdeng County, Li Wenyuan had made great achievements in his office, and took the people of Yongdeng County to attract the nearby river, and reclaimed a large area of land in the north of the city for cultivating grain and cotton, Luo Buma and other products, which basically solved the relatively poor situation in Yongdeng County, because these merits are in. So this time, he also took the opportunity of Xue Renyue's transfer to be promoted by Li Wenyuan to the county guard of Wuwei County.

"Congratulations to Xue Gongzi for his promotion." Seeing Xue Renyue looking at him, Li Wen hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile as he walked.

"Where is this considered a high promotion, serving as an official and seeking benefits for the people, and Uncle Li, how many times have I told you, just call me by my name, don't always call me as a young master, we are now officials in the same dynasty and colleagues." Xue Renyue hugged Li Wen, pulled him to sit down in the middle of the room, and said to him.

"Childe, I received the great favor of the head of the family, so I have a way to live, and my brothers are either officials or join the army under the arrangement of the head of the family, which is a life that we dare not dare to live as death row prisoners. And I also know that this kind of thing was also brought up by you to the head of the family, so I can rely on you to have today, so calling you a son in this matter is my respect for you. Levine said.

"Forget it, every time we meet, I have to talk about this for a long time, and in the end, no one can convince anyone, let's put this matter aside today, and I'll tell you about this Wuwei County." Xue Renyue beckoned his subordinates to serve tea and refreshments, and then introduced the situation in Wuwei County to Li Wen.

Wuwei County is located in the Hexi Corridor, is a key place, bordered by different forces, although Heyuan County and Jincheng County direction also have land routes, but mostly small valleys between the mountains, if the number is small, you can also march in it, but if the army travels is extremely difficult, not to mention how to transport the logistics baggage, even if the terrain is forced to line up into a long snake queue marching army is extremely easy to be hit by the enemy army in ambush on both sides of the mountain, with heavy casualties.

Therefore, compared to the two sides, Wuwei County is an important road into the Western Regions. However, Wuwei County is bordered by the Eastern Turks in the north, and Xue Ju and Liang Shidu in the east, that is to say, except for Xue Ju, the remaining forces are all hostile to Li Wenyuan. Especially at this time, Li Wenyuan is going all out to the west, and relatively speaking, the defensive forces in the east and on the back will be relatively weak. Recently, the Eastern Turks have gradually suppressed the internally unstable tribes internally, and externally they have successively defeated the armies of the Murwei tribe and deployed troops on the border of the Goguryeo, forcing the Goguryeo people to pay tribute to the Eastern Turks again. Therefore, at this time, the Eastern Turks were able to stabilize the situation, and Shibi Khan once again set his sights on the Han forces in the south, Li Wenyuan, who had repeatedly made him deflated.

At this time, as the spokesperson of the Eastern Turks in the Central Plains, he was not the only spokesperson of the Eastern Turks, and there was Liu Wuzhou, the Dingyang Khan, as a competitor to the east, so this time in order to win more support from the Eastern Turks, Liang Shidu gritted his teeth and invested all his capital in the war on the Western Front to face Li Wenyuan, preparing to join forces with the Eastern Turks to attack together. Divide the lands under Li Wenyuan's rule with the Eastern Turks.
