"The problem of horses, in fact, has been exposed when the adults asked for the formation of the first independent light cavalry division in the northwest, in general, our horses in the northwest, including Beiloulan, especially the war horses for cavalry, have a considerable gap, even the livestock used for transportation is also quite short, the establishment of the Tokugawa military horse farm can only solve a very small part, the main problem is still to rely on the purchase from the nomads on the Tengger grassland." Su Qin thought for a moment and began to express his opinion.

"The main problem in the middle is that we still have Beiloulan in the northwest, although the territory is vast, but the only area suitable for grazing good horses is the northwest of Tokugawa Prefecture, once a major war occurs, it is difficult to recruit enough horses in a short time, which I am afraid we will have to pay great attention to in our future work."

"When I went to the Western Regions some time ago, I estimated this, and I have already talked to Watt about this matter, and said that he may want to buy a certain number of war horses from the Huns in the near future, and he also agreed to this deal in principle, saying that he will report back to his uncle, and it is estimated that there will be no major problems."

Su Qin's thinking was also quite quick and far-reaching, as early as Yunxiu Villa on the outskirts of Bega City, he was discussing with Watt to destroy the military alliance of the Western Regions countries, and by the way, he discussed the purchase of troops

"And those small nomads living in the northwest of Tokugawa, I think we should also vigorously support their production, especially to support them to vigorously develop animal husbandry, after all, we Daqin people are not good at animal husbandry, even if we want to learn, it will take a long time. Therefore, at present, the only way to reduce the dependence on these nomads on the Tengger steppe is to vigorously support them. Su Qin finally put forward his own idea.

"Well, Brother Su's opinion is thought-provoking, it will be wrong to come to work every time you are in urgent need, and it is not in our interests to be controlled by others for a long time."

Of course, these are the only measures that can be taken for now, but if there is an opportunity, we should think carefully about how to change this unfavorable situation. Our Lord Qin's ambitions are high. If there is no strong military strength as a backing, it will never work, and military strength is empty talk without the important factor of war horses. Zhuge put a touch of the bypass, and understood in his heart, his ambition is greater, and he has set his goal further.

"Okay, let's go home and talk about the specific problem. Otherwise, let's whisper here, and put the business aside, Shangguan Yonglun and they will have opinions. Liang Qiming interrupted the conversation between the two and smiled.

"Brother Liang, I still have some ideas, of course I won't talk about them now, after we go back, the three of us will plan well, maybe you won't agree, but I want to say my thoughts, it's quite important. In addition, in the letter, the Lord also touched on the question of the Punjabs of the Indean Kingdom, the westernmost neighbors of North Loulan. Maybe we also have to discuss and see how to deal with it more appropriately. Zhuge put away his smile and said with a stern face.

Standing on the edge of the turbid river, Kutuzov had a complicated expression. Looking at the mighty west flow of a river, how spectacular and open-minded, but it is this big river that has become a moat that blocks the northward advance of his army.

The Salween River originates above the snow line at the western foot of the Great Hengduan Mountain, and the snow melts down the rugged rocks. In the mountains, it joins other small streams to form a rushing and roaring rapid. After jumping out of the lofty mountains and entering the eastern part of the wide and fertile Great Andean Plain, the river suddenly widened several times, but the flow rate also eased.

Looking at the north of the river, you can even faintly see the small patrolling troops stationed on the riverside and the front fire platform built along the river, it seems that the people of Loulan have been doubly vigilant. It will be difficult to cross the river as we did last year.

"Dashuai, the weather is a little cold, can you add another piece of clothing?" The guard beside him asked with concern.

"No, I don't. Dayan, come here. "The voice is flat, and I can't hear anything unusual.

But Dayan, who has been standing behind Kutuzov, has long lost his usual arrogance. Nervous and silently followed behind Kutuzov. Since the end of the war with Loulan, since Loulan had no power to fight back, the army of the Pasha Kingdom retained only two legions on the south bank of the Salween River, and two corps in the newly occupied city of Giasi. Although he was repulsed on both crossings of the river in the last battle, Kutuzov did not have many words to blame Dayan, which made Dayan panic.

"Dashuai."

"Hmm, right now, the Loulan people have arranged a large number of patrols in Jiangbei and set up beacon towers, if we want to start a war again, what are you going to do with Dayang?" A pair of bottomless eyes staring intently at the other side of the river, Kutuzov asked.

"This trick of the Loulan people is indeed very vicious, and the frontal fire platform set up along the river is a great obstacle for us to cross the river on a large scale, and this problem must be solved before crossing the river. I think we can send a special task force to solve the beacon tower in the crossing section before crossing the river, and then quickly cross the river to establish a solid stronghold in one fell swoop and ensure the follow-up of the follow-up troops. Dayan raised his eyebrows and said succinctly.

Nodding, Kutuzov's thin face with high cheekbones did not show a trace of other expression, "It's a good idea, but the Loulan people have now greatly strengthened the patrol of the riverbank, even if the beacon tower problem is solved, if they want to cross the river on a large scale, they will be discovered in advance, and the risk is too great." ”

After thinking for a while, Dayan continued: "Dashuai, you are right, at the moment, the people of Loulan are like frightened birds, and they will be very vigilant at the slightest disturbance, so I myself want to start a war immediately, but I still think that now is not a good time to go to war." However, from now on, we can send a small group of action teams to constantly harass Jiangbei, so that the Loulan people will have three police a day, exhaust the opponent's army, disturb the enemy's military morale, and over time, the enemy will gradually be paralyzed. Of course, the decision on the outcome of the war must not rely on these, and the humble post has an idea, if we want to ensure that nothing goes wrong, in addition to taking the above measures, we can choose two crossing points, relying on our superior forces, to attack the east and the west, one side of the feint, the other as the main attack, so that the Loulan people are difficult to care. ”

Kutuzov finally showed a rare look of satisfaction on his face, and he exhaled softly. Since Dayan lost twice in the battle of crossing the river, although there are other objective reasons, His Majesty the king is not to blame, but the gang under his hands has said a lot of cool words, which makes Kutuzov very depressed. This trip to the north is nominally to inspect the garrison of the Northern Military Region, but in fact, he wants to take a good look at Dayan and reconfirm his vision, but now it seems that he has not lost his eyes.
