"Do you think we should support the Western Regions countries to form a joint army, so that they can contain Qin Dui's power expansion?" After a long time, Besang asked quietly.

"Yes, the young general thinks that we should strongly support it, and if we are afraid of the agreement signed with Qin Duan, we can support it secretly."

Harry Qisheng's tone was resolute and forceful, and seeing that Besang still did not show his attitude, he said: "Could it be that the Great General is worried that the establishment of a joint army by the countries of the Western Regions will pose a threat to us?" The junior general thinks that this is unlikely, first of all, we live in the prairie and almost do not settle, they will not do much harm to our people, and even if they establish a joint army, it is difficult to say whether they can deal with the threat of Qin Dui, let alone endanger us. ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, if they really dare to refuse to pay the annual tribute and materials, we can join Qin Dui to teach them a lesson. But I believe that they are not so stupid, you must know that Qin Dui has a great appetite, whether it is land, population or others, they will not refuse, we just ask them to pay a certain amount of money and materials on time, the difference between the two is very big. ”

With that, Harry grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Finally nodded, but Besan showed a trace of worry on his face, and muttered for a while, as if considering the wording, before he said: "I'm not worried about what threat they will pose to us, after all, the disparity in strength, the difference in geographical environment, and the national habits, they have always been on the passive side, but I am a little worried......"

At this point, he shook his head, still not saying the last sentence.

"What is the general worried about?"

Harry Qisheng was very curious, he knew that Besan and the general of the expedition to the east were called the two great generals of the Huns, and it was by no means a waste of fame, when he was transferred to the east of the expedition, Tu Da, who was equivalent to half a master, also warned him that Bessan's wisdom was not inferior to him, and in some ways he surpassed him Tu Da himself, of course, this may be a bit of an elevation of Bessan, but it can also be seen from this Bessan's ability.

"I'm more worried about whether this coalition army organized by the countries of the Western Regions this time will give Qin Duan, who has been looking for an opportunity, an excuse?"

Besanne's eyes half-narrowed. Looking into the distance outside the big tent, "As you guessed, if the countries of the Western Regions want to reorganize their joint forces at this time, they will definitely not be without purpose. There must be a realistic purpose, maybe there will be a conflict with Qin Duan's side, I'm worried that if I don't fight the tiger, I will be devoured by the tiger! ”

"General, are you a little worried? Qin Duan's focus is now all on the east, and he doesn't have any extra energy to take care of this side, and I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for the existing strength of Beiloulan to do something. It's really not good, at that time, we can also think that Qin Duan clearly asked him not to interfere in the affairs of the Western Regions, and the affairs of the Western Regions are under our control, I think Qin Duan should not make enemies on all sides. ”

Harry Qisheng said confidently, "In addition, Hayibar is also an old fox, he will not easily do things that he is not sure of, and he should think it through himself." ”

Unnoticed, he shook his head slightly, but said, "Since the orders of the Great Chief have come down. Of course we have to follow it, Harry Kaisheng, you send more people to pay attention to the changes in the situation, let's wait and see what happens. ”

In view of the fact that the number of troops stationed in Partridge Pass has reached nearly 60,000, and there are more than 10,000 prisoners in prison, Qin Duan has to face a more serious logistics problem, Partridge Pass itself also has a logistics warehouse, but that little material is a drop in the bucket for nearly 60,000 troops, especially the consumption of grain and grass is even more amazing, fortunately, the logistics troops of the three divisions themselves have brought a lot of materials. But if it drags on like this, it will soon bottom out.

However, Qin Dui was still too worried, and the newly appointed Director of War Readiness did not live up to Qin Dui's expectations, as early as when Qin Dui set off for Lishan County. Rao had already begun to plan to use private transportation forces to transport a large number of grain and materials from Tokugawa to Yeosan County, and the transportation team on the road from the capital city of Yeoyama County to the fortress of Yangmakou was also flowing endlessly.

As soon as the battle at Partridge Pass ended, the personnel of the Northwest War Readiness Administration were the first to intervene, counting the remaining supplies in Partridge Pass, calculating the consumption of soldiers entering Partridge Pass, and at the same time, the advance supplies from Yangmakou to Partridge Pass also began to be shipped. At Rao's suggestion. Qin Duan agreed to transfer more than 10,000 Taiping prisoners to a special improvised prison on the outskirts of the Lishan County Palace, which was also urgently built by Rao when he learned that Qin Duan intended to march into Kansai, and it really came in handy.

In order to alleviate the pressure of logistics and transportation, Qin Duan ordered the newly built Northwest Independent Third Infantry Division, which had arrived in the capital city of Lishan County, to be stationed in Yangmakou.

According to Qin Duan's idea, it should not be the turn of this division to be transferred to the regular army, because their previous predecessor was also transferred to the German garrison division, and this division has only been established for a little more than a year, and it is not their turn to be promoted to the regular army in any way, but the situation is urgent, and it is impossible to draw more troops from other places, and only the northwest county has a special geographical location and is relatively safe, so it is reasonable to reorganize its garrison division into an independent third infantry division.

However, what Qin Duan didn't expect was that after the Northwest County Garrison Division learned that he had been promoted to the regular army, his enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, the vast majority of the soldiers in this division were from the Gao Yue clan, and it was a pure infantry division. Qin Dui was so surprised that more than a year of training could reach such a level, so much so that Qin Dui summoned the commander of the division and regiment who had been a local division a month ago.

Through the conversation, Qin Duan was able to understand the basic situation of this division. Originally, due to the change of the situation in the Northwest County and the strong propaganda efforts, a large number of Gaoyue people moved out of the Hengduan Mountains to settle outside the mountains, and even many Gaoyue people from other areas also crossed the mountains and mountains to come to the Northwest County. Although living conditions have improved, the reality is that many Gaoyue people lack the necessary livelihood skills, and there do not seem to be many roads suitable for those who are in the prime of life, except for farming and selling their labor in the factory.

And the income from farming and heavy manual labor in the workshop is not too high, which is indeed not a good choice for the Gaoyue men who come out of the mountains and are eager to see the world and live a good life, and the legendary stories and generous treatment of the first batch of villagers who became Qin Duan's soldiers from the army have made the poor compatriots who have been poor for a long time jealous to death, and naturally the army has become the yearning in the minds of these young adults who do not lack physical strength.
