"How's it going, everything is arranged over there? Where did Qian Biao and his entourage go? "Because the North Industrial Belt in the cabinet and the logistics department jointly launched a number of key projects, the entire north from Guanzhong, Hezhong to Bingzhou Youzhou to the northeast of Fengtian, Bohai and Songjiang provinces have entered the fast lane of development, because of the rich mineral resources, plus the original development of a lot of basic industries, so in the cabinet will focus on the north after the rapid development again, relying on shipbuilding, large-scale machinery manufacturing and mineral development and smelting, Under the tandem of railways, the entire northern part began to be accurately distributed according to the industrial development distribution map of the provinces of the northern industrial belt designed by Li Xuanqing. In addition to the development of machinery manufacturing and processing, the main force is placed on research and development, in addition to the Zhang family, the remaining five families have all placed their headquarters in the Guanzhong area, Chang'an's Murong family and Xu family, Ningzhou's Yuwen family and Fengxiang's He family and Yanzhou's Yelu family, basically relying on the headquarters of the five major families in Guanzhong to drive the prosperity of the entire Guanzhong, so when arranging the northern industrial belt, Li Xuanqing and Cen Tianshi gave Guanzhong the task is to find a way to develop science and technology and manufacturing. In this way, the scientific and technological level of the entire empire will be improved. In this way, with the efforts of the cabinet and the six major families, Chang'an has established dozens of professional colleges of various categories, and even the Datang Fashion Design Institute of Qiaoxi and Murong Feixue was established some time ago, and cooperated with various large garment factories and clothing design companies under the Xu family to carry out a series of clothing design and stereotyped production.

Due to historical reasons, Hezhong and Xiazhou have not had much presence in the development of the northern provinces, but in the cabinet's five-year plan, a railway from Fengzhou to the south through Xiazhou to the east into Hezhong has brought new development opportunities to several places, and the opening of traffic from Fengzhou in the north has allowed the two places to embark on the fast track of development. Through the efforts of the past few years, the two provinces have developed a one-stop industrial chain of agricultural product processing and meat product processing, and a large number of waste materials processed by agricultural products are transported to Xiazhou to become food for all kinds of livestock, so that the entire Yellow River South Plains has developed rapidly in addition to the local coal industry and the eastern merger state, and the development of agriculture and animal husbandry has been rapid, even exceeding several provinces in the grassland. At the beginning of the year, political envoys from several provinces in the northern grasslands also made a special visit to Xiazhou, preparing to go back and learn from Xiazhou's development model. The processing of agricultural products and abundant grain in Xiazhou and Hezhong were also rapidly exported to the eastern Bingzhou and Youzhou regions, making up for the grain problems after the transfer of agricultural labor in these two places, thus forming a complementary relationship and driving the development of each other.

Originally, Li Xuanqing was pondering on the map how to connect the industrial development of the three northeastern provinces in series, so as to truly activate this famous heavy industry base in later generations, but was interrupted by Hu Xiaosi. The Gaoshan tribe of Liuqiu repeated several times after Qian Biao's surrender, but now there is no problem, the cabinet has passed the matter of Liuqiu to establish a province, and Qian Biao himself has arrived in Hangzhou.

"Senior brother in the northwest is besieging Jiaohe City." Hu Xiaosi walked up to Li Xuanqing and said the report of the Northwest War that he had just received, and said, "If there is no problem on Senior Brother's side, we can completely defeat the Gaochang Uighurs in one battle and push the battle line to the territory of Yanqi." ”

"I'm afraid it may not be that easy, right? The Anxi Uighurs on the Yanqi side would not sit idly by and watch us defeat the Qocho Uighurs so quickly, and don't the Qocho Uighurs still have an elite army in the northern state of Tingzhou? Wasn't this the same army that fought against the Zombies before? They will definitely rush south to help after the royal court is besieged. The senior brother's encirclement and reinforcement are only afraid that they will experience a fierce battle, and if these two groups of enemies come together, I am afraid that the Western Expeditionary Army will also be forced to divide their troops to fight. Li Xuanqing put down the map and shook his head. Because of the speed of information transmission, it takes nearly five or six days for the news to be transmitted from Gaochang to Chang'an at the earliest, and this is still the use of Xuanyingwei's special channel to fly pigeons to Ganzhou and then rely on the speed of the train to rush to Chang'an day and night, otherwise I am afraid that it will not be able to be transmitted for half a month, but fortunately, in the case of the actual needs of the war and the continuous supply of prisoners of war to participate in the construction of the road, the railway was finally repaired outside Ganzhou after the railway went out of Hexi. According to the plan of the Department of Railways, the Northwest Railway will be repaired to the sandbank, so as to ensure the demand for transportation in the Northwest.

However, although Li Xuanqing did not have accurate information, he still knew a lot about the situation in the northwest, so he could see at a glance that the situation Wan Yi was facing at this time was to divide his troops to fight, and because of the strength of the troops, the siege of Jiaohe City still relied more on the previous large number of killing and wounding forces to forcibly smooth out the resistance in the city, otherwise it would definitely be the enemy on the back.

However, at this time, Wan Yi was different from Li Xuanqing and Hu Xiaosi planning on the map outside the distant Jiaohe City, he was really implementing the plan of dividing the troops, and after transporting a hundred artillery pieces to Gao Siji on the back, the entire Tingzhou cavalry was all handed over to the Seventh Corps to be responsible, and the Modao battalion in the western region came to the latest news from the front soon after entering the position, and the Anxi Uighurs had indeed sent troops, and the forward was less than dozens of miles away from here. Relying on the speed of the cavalry charge, it almost does not take half a day to reach the city of Jiaohe, and there is no way to conceal this battle at all, because the news of the siege of Jiaohe City has already been transmitted, so this is the same hard battle as the seventh corps in the north.

"Marshal, the latest battle report has come from the northern front, the Tingzhou cavalry has begun to enter the Bogda Pass, and it is expected that the other side will also enter the wartime." Liu Xuan saw Wan Yi looking at the battle situation of Hammud's siege of Jiaohe City, and Liu Xuan walked over beside him and handed Wan Yi the latest received northern battle report.

"It seems that these three battlefields will almost start fighting at the same time, and Hammoud has shown his real skills this time." Wan Yi did not receive the battle report, but pointed to Jiaohe City, which was fighting fiercely in the distance, and said: "The Uighur cavalry under the artillery rush turned out to be fighting well in the siege battle. ”

"Then should we prepare, as long as the city is broken by Hammud, we will follow in?" Liu Xuan asked.

Wan Yi shook his head and said, "We promised Hammud that we would wait for him to hand over Jiaohe City to us completely, so we will do what we say." Don't worry, Hammoud will at most shelter the Uighurs, and he has no heart for the treasury, gold and silver treasures that we value. In fact, the nobles in these places would not have understood the use of the gold and silver except ourselves, so I am sure that if he had known that we were only aiming for this, he would have ordered the entire city of Jiaohe to be emptied to protect the Uighurs, and even their Great Khan. After Wan Yi finished speaking, he vaguely heard the faint sound of artillery coming from the west, and turned his head and asked, "The Modao Camp has already started?" ”

However, Wan Yi didn't expect Liu Xuan to answer, but just listened intently for a while, nodded and smiled: "It seems that the Uighurs of Anxi are not stupid. The two battalions within the main battalion were informed to be ready, and if they did not attack well, they would change direction and make a detour from the south. Since the Uighurs were able to send forward troops under the eyes and ears of Xuan Yingwei, then they might not send troops to make a detour after the attack was frustrated, and there was Tuoba Si in the north, and there was no chance, so the only thing left was the southern wasteland.

However, when Liu Xuan followed Wan Yi's order and began to secretly guard himself, Shi Jian and Chai Jia were on the front line, but they stared at the Anxi Uighur forwards who rushed up with less than 10,000 people, and were a little stunned, but after hesitating for a moment, Shi Jian still decided to shell a round first to test the depth of the opponent, and by the way, to see how long the distance between their vanguard and the main army was.

When Chai Jia came, he brought a full 150 artillery pieces to the Modao battalion, so that the artillery units directly under the Western Expeditionary Army were divided into four, the 7th Corps had 100 artillery pieces and 2 artillery pieces, and the 3 artillery pieces of his own were 150 guns, and the one that supported the Hammoud siege operation was one hundred guns, and the two that stayed in the battalion belonged to the headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Army with 100 guns. However, because the opponent only had less than 10,000 cavalry, the artillery fired less than 30 guns for the first time, and concentrated on the direction of the opponent's vanguard.

"General Jiamu, your Anxi Uighur cavalry is not bad, and you have been able to stabilize the situation so quickly in the face of sudden changes." Because the front line is basically the Modao Battalion, and the 11th Corps is used as a reserve in the rear, Chai Jia couldn't help but smile at the gloomy Jia Mu beside him when he looked at the battle situation in front of him. After seeing the dark artillery up close, Jiamu was worried about the impact of the Uighur cavalry, and he couldn't imagine that the Tang Dynasty from the east had created such a terrifying weapon of war, and what was the future of himself and the Uighurs. So in the past few days, his resentment towards Hammud has also been eliminated a lot, after all, from Hammoud's point of view, the Toucheng Tiance Army can at least protect some of the tribesmen to survive smoothly, and the Tang Dynasty will at least not go to those ordinary Uighurs in Shanghai, so that the inheritance and reproduction of the race will not be interrupted at least, and Jiamu also knows that if he resists to the death, then the Uighurs after the defeat can only continue to move westward.

However, before Chai Jia's voice fell, there was already gunfire in front of him, and the soldiers of the Modao battalion in charge of the forefront had already fired at the Uighur cavalry that had entered the firing range, because more than 10,000 cavalry were scattered very strongly, so the gunfire on the front line was also scattered, but the Uighur cavalry did not reduce casualties because of the scattered formation, and after giving up the three-stage shooting method, the Tiance army had begun to pursue the accuracy of shooting on the battlefield, so almost every soldier would start aiming before shooting and then choose to pull the trigger. Therefore, after the continuous fall of the cavalry, the evacuation formation in front was disrupted, and more and more Uighur cavalry in the rear appeared in front of the soldiers of the Tiance Army on the corpses of their own soldiers and horses.

"Well, your Uighur tactics are outdated, aren't they?" Chai Jia seemed to be determined to attack Jia Mu, so he laughed at Jia Mu and said, "You scattered the formation in an attempt to evade the blow of my Tiance Army, but you will never know that the tactics of our Tiance Army have always kept pace with the times, so dispersing the formation is useless to us, but is weakening the impact of your cavalry." ”

"Don't be too happy, even if our way is blocked by you, I don't believe that after your main force is transferred to the west, you still have much strength to block the attack of the cavalry of the Northern Tingzhou. You must know that it is the last elite force in Jiaohe City, and they are fighting on the grassland with cavalry three times their size without falling behind. Your 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry alone will never be their opponent. Jia Mu couldn't see Chai Jiayao's beaten face, and shot back coldly.

"Really? How do you know that we don't have the strength to deal with them? Chai Jia looked at Jia Mu and sighed helplessly: "I don't even know how many troops your opponent has, no wonder you will become a prisoner of war." Let me tell you, at this point in time, the northern side has also started fighting, but the cavalry you said is a reserve in our army's deployment this time, do you know what a reserve is? It's just like me to prevent accidents. ”

When Chai Jia was idle and had nothing to do to tease Jiamu, Gao Siji in the north was also slightly behind the Modao camp and got into fire with the other party. The Seventh Corps was lying on the bank of Daze, blocking the way of the Tingzhou Cavalry Corps, which also made the other party's heart sink rapidly, and the other party had the ability to send troops to intercept him, so wouldn't Jiaohe City have fallen? Therefore, unlike the Anxi Uighurs, who also sent strikers to test the firepower of the Tiance Army, the Tingzhou Army was naturally more concerned about the safety of Wang Tingjiaohe City because it was a direct corps of Wang Ting, so it almost kept ordering to attack Gao Siji's defense line. So all of a sudden, a hundred guns of the artillery unit opened fire in unison in an instant, and after the first round of guns were discharged, those gunners almost didn't look at the point of impact, so they directly picked up the shells next to them and stuffed them into the chambers again, and then prepared to fire the second time.

The sound of artillery came from one after another in the west and the north, which meant that Wan Yi's deployment of the division of troops had truly entered the decisive battle stage at this moment. Following the opening of the Modao Battalion's side of the fire, the northwest direction in charge of the Seventh Corps also officially started fighting at this time, and countless fireballs rose after countless shells landed. In the midst of the flying figures, Gao Siji held the Thousand Miles Realm and stared at the impact point of the striker, and nodded as if nothing was there.
