After all, the second year of Tongguang became yesterday's clouds, and the third year of Tongguang opened spring, and Lu Long entered the big action of spring ploughing. Compared with the second year of Tongguang, this year Lulong added three new tuntian places, and the lively scene was even more lively than last year, and as the steward of the cultivation of these three new tuntians, Yelu Min had already gone down to the local area to personally supervise the cultivation.

With the accumulation of last year, in the new year, not only Tuntian, but also in other affairs, Lulong has made further development. The salt and iron work has doubled on the basis of last year, and the scale of coastal fishing grounds has also increased by a large margin; when the granaries in Youzhou have been extremely full, Li Congjing has built several granaries in Pingzhou and Danzhou as early as possible to store this year's military grain reserves.

In addition, the caravan led by Zhang Ziyun, after last year's exploration, development, this year officially has a prosperous situation, whether it is the local caravan of Lulong, or the caravan from the Central Plains, in the case of the Lulong border army, the military intelligence department to ensure safety, the rapid development, the Western Regions, Goryeo specialties, Central Plains tea, porcelain, etc., the scale of transactions between each other has gradually expanded, followed by a steady stream of business profits.

With the support of abundant iron ore and property, the output and quality of armaments of the major production institutes in Lulong have been greatly improved. Although the army can no longer increase the number of soldiers, but in terms of weapons and equipment, there is no doubt that there has been a great improvement compared with the past, the soldiers are well-equipped, and they have crossed the level of uneven armaments of the feudal town army after the Anshi Rebellion, and have directly pursued the image of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Correspondingly, the large-scale siege and defensive equipment accumulated in Lulong's arsenal is also gradually accumulating.

In the three years of Tongguang, the entire Lulong has been changing every day, whether it is the accumulation of material and financial resources or military strength, it is improving day by day, and the entire Lulong, in terms of combat readiness, has entered the stage of gaining momentum. Although from the state level, Lu Long's accumulated strength is still limited, but for the feudal town, Lu Long's current military strength can be called strong.

In addition to these rigid material resources, Li Congjing has also made great efforts in terms of "manpower". Although it is impossible for Li Congjing to really implement the government military system in Lulong because of the feelings of the imperial court, Li Congjing has never given up the concept of "100,000 young people and 100,000 troops". At least in terms of physical fitness and familiarity with swords, soldiers and ordnance, Li Congjing, with his unmatched prestige in Lulong, immediately made the border sons and daughters respond.

In addition, Li Congjing launched a public opinion offensive, and successfully incited the sentiments of the border sons to defend their families and defend the country and vow to fight the Khitan to the end by preaching the ideas of "protecting the border and fighting the thieves" and "revenge".

All in all, Li Congjing's efforts in the area of "manpower" are all preparations for the start of the war in the future, although it is impossible to organize the army immediately, but it has laid enough foreshadowing, and when the time comes, the end of the war will be replenished, and then the troops and combat strength will be replenished, with these foundations, it will be much easier.

After Mo Li returned to Youzhou, he took the post of farewell driver, and in fact became Li Congjing's deputy, and was responsible for all affairs of Lu Long's military and political affairs. Also in the first half of the third year of Tongguang, Wang Pu was quite effective in rectifying the rule of officials, and he used the cases in various parts of Lulong as a breakthrough point to expose the illegal acts of officials by examining various cases, thus opening a breakthrough for the rectification of the rule of officials.

Compared with other things, rectifying the rule of officials has always offended people and is not pleased, and there are far-reaching benefits, but there are also near-term worries, which is a very difficult thing to do. Although Wang Pu has Li Congjing's tiger skin, in the process of acting in detail, he still encountered a lot of trouble, and many officials resisted. To Li Congjing's surprise, at this time, Fei Gaozhang and Zhang Yilou stood up, the former with his high prestige among Lu Long's civil officials, mercilessly suppressed the rebound of unjudicial officials, and the latter invited himself to be Wang Pu's deputy, personally charging into the battle and fighting on the front line. Because of the support of the official group headed by the two of them, Li Congjing's rectification of Lu Long's rule was carried out quite smoothly in the end.

It is precisely because of the rectification of the rule of officials that Lu Long's rule was clear overnight, and most of the hundreds of thousands of people in the border areas were given a life of abundant food and clothing by Li Congjing, and they were all attached to their hearts since then.

Half a year passed in a flash, and the situation on the border suddenly became tense almost overnight.

The source of all this lies in Yelu Abaoji's transfer back of the Western Expeditionary Army, which has achieved a lot of success, and the first person to inform Li Congjing of this news was not the eyeline of the military intelligence department of the West Building, nor the spies who infiltrated the grasslands of the Western Front, but the Tatar Ministry of Tubak Khan.

When the Khitan army withdrew from the Western Front, the Tatar Department, which monitored day and night, was the first to learn of the news, and Tubak Khan immediately sent a letter to Li Congjing, informing him of the whole story.

And, of course, there was also the lovesick book sent by Ahri.

Li Congjing is still quite concerned about the mature Ahri these days, and the two have corresponded a lot and expressed their affection.

At the end of his letter, Tubak Khan wrote: "Based on General Li's previous inference, it is entirely possible that Yelu Abaoji's withdrawal from the Western Front was in preparation for his eastward expedition to the Bohai Kingdom, and General Li's plan was all in the battle of the Bohai Kingdom, and the hope of our people also lies in this. In the future, please tell General Li that the Tatar Ministry will definitely cooperate with it. ”

In this regard, Li Congjing replied to Tubak Khan, telling him not to be anxious, and to wait patiently, to unite with other forces, and once the time was ripe, he would order him to move eastward and join forces with him to attack the Khitan proper.

In Li Siyuan's letter to Li Congjing, the court situation mentioned also shocked Li Congjing's spirit. According to Li Siyuan, in recent days, the battle of Shu, which had been unheard of, has now been re-proposed by some core ministers, and it is said that Li Cunqiao even summoned Guo Chongtao to discuss this matter. It's just that what the result will be, whether Datang will send troops, and when and when will it send troops, it is still impossible to make a conclusion.

The Tang Dynasty rearranged the matter of cutting Shu, and the actions of the Khitan State on the battlefield in Liaodong entered a new stage. The Khitan army in eastern Liaodong has suddenly made great moves in the past few days, dispatched troops and sent generals, and swooped down on Duli Town, an important town in southeastern Liaoning, with a large army, and broke through the defense line between Bo Cheng and Duli Town with a large army, and arranged an elite army here, blocking the connection between Bo Cheng and Duli Town.

The situation in Liaodong changed suddenly, and Daming'an, who was sitting in the middle of the court, had to send Li Siping to lead several generals to the battlefield in Liaodong to deal with the situation in Liaodong.

Just when the situation of all parties was at the moment, a news from the hinterland of the grassland made Li Congjing frown, this news brought a lot of trouble to Li Congjing, so that he had to concentrate on dealing with this matter for a while.

And, of course, there was also the lovesick book sent by Ahri.

Li Congjing is still quite concerned about the mature Ahri these days, and the two have corresponded a lot and expressed their affection.
