(PS: Make up a change.) ）

On July 25, Bactria announced the appointment and dismissal of generals.

Li Jing, commander of the Northwest Theater and general, stepped down from his concurrent post as commander of the Flying Bear Army and was replaced by Zuo Zongtang, commander of the Hedong Army. Hou Junji, a general of the Tang Dynasty, took over as the commander of the Hedong Army.

In order to reduce Li Jing's burden and make him devote himself to this war, the imperial court promptly relieved Li Jing of his position as commander of the Flying Bear Army.

The fact that the commander-in-chief of the theater no longer concurrently serves as the commander of the group army is the trend of the times.

Zuo Zongtang is familiar with Western Xinjiang, and he is a first-class famous general, and he is also good at firearms combat, which makes him stand out when he competes for the position of commander of the Flying Bear Army.

There is an unwritten rule in the Great Xia Army, under normal circumstances, if there is a vacancy in the command sequence of the field army, it is probably promoted from the commander of the border army. Unless the new generals are extraordinary and irreplaceable, they can only serve as the commander of the border guards first, just like Hou Junji, who took over as the commander of the Hedong Army this time.

Hou Junji was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and the official was the secretary of the military department.

In the early days, he did not learn and did not know how to do it, but claimed to be brave, and later entered the Qin Palace, fought with Li Shimin, and made military exploits, and was gradually appreciated by Li Shimin, and persuaded Li Shimin to launch the Xuanwumen Incident with Wei Chigong.

After the unification of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji's official position became higher and higher, and he began to study, participated in the selection of talents, and once studied the art of war with Li Jing, but falsely accused Li Jing of having a rebellious heart.

During the Zhenguan period, he followed Li Jing to pacify the Turks, and later led a large army to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom.

Hou Junji, who had made outstanding achievements, began to be proud of his achievements, and was imprisoned for taking treasures for stealing treasures during the extermination of Gaochang, and after his release, he began to feel resentment, and successively persuaded the general Zhang Liang and the crown prince Li Chengqian to rebel.

In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Hou Junji was implicated in the rebellion of the crown prince Li Chengqian and was executed.

It can be seen from this that Hou Junji's ability to lead troops to fight is there, but he has a lack of personal temperament and a loss of personal morality, and he is not a general with both ability and political integrity.

Ouyang Shuo only hopes that with the lessons of history ahead, Hou Junji can be a little more restrained.

It wasn't until mid-August that the anomaly in Bactria was finally detected by the Ashoka dynasty.

As an NPC dynasty, the annexation of Tibet was the first time that the Ashoka Dynasty set foot in foreign battlefields, and it was at that time that with the help of the native people of Tibet, an intelligence agency against China was formed, and the infiltration of Bactria began.

One can imagine how immature such an intelligence agency is.

Especially under the encirclement and suppression of Shanhaiwei, it was basically difficult to move an inch in China, and the transportation of grain and grass in such a big battle in Great Xia, the secret agents of the Ashoka Dynasty only found out the news after nearly a month, which was really a failure.

By this time, the first batch of grain and grass materials in Daxia had been delivered in place. This also means that Great Xia has the conditions for starting a war, and subsequent grain and grass materials can be continuously transported during the war.

Tianzhu District, Ashoka Dynasty, Delhi City.

Emperor Ashoka is the third generation of the Mauryan Dynasty of the ancient Tianzhu Magadha Kingdom, and his reign is an unprecedentedly powerful era in the history of ancient Tianzhu, and he is also the greatest king in the history of Tianzhu. If I have to have a less accurate comparison, Ashoka's status in Tianzhu is basically similar to that of Emperor Qin and Han Wu in Huaxia.

At the age of eighteen, Ashoka was appointed governor of the province of Abanti.

Around 273 B.C., Bintou Sara was seriously ill and there was no crown prince in the court, and in order to seize the throne, Ashoka joined the struggle for the throne with the help of his minister Chenggo.

Legend has it that Emperor Ashoka murdered ninety-nine brothers and sisters, and in the end, Emperor Ashoka was victorious, and in about 269 BC, the official enthronement ceremony was held.

In his early years, Emperor Ashoka was warlike and murderous, unified the entire South Asian subcontinent and part of present-day Afghanistan, and in his later years, he believed in Buddhism and put down the butcher's knife, and was also known as the "King of Sanssouci".

Ashoka, who appeared in the wilderness, was just over forty, and he was a warlike and murderous man in his prime and wise in his old age, and he was really an emperor not to be underestimated.

It is no wonder that Tianzhu Jiaozi like the Peacock King and the Gupta King have to give three points to them.

Such an Ashoka, naturally, does not have the word "retreat without a fight" in the dictionary.

Therefore, upon learning the news that Great Xia was actively preparing for war, Emperor Ashoka did not hesitate at all, and directly issued a war mobilization order, which was bound to hold the newly captured Tubo Dynasty.

You must know that at the moment when he took Tibet and set foot on the land of China, Ashoka's prestige in Tianzhu rose to a new height, and the scenery was infinite, and even the Peacock Dynasty and Gupta Dynasty, which had always been active, temporarily lost their voices.

Because this is what the two dynasties once wanted to do, but did not do.

For this reason alone, Ashoka must defend this hard-won glory at all costs, otherwise, what is the point of his rebirth in the wilderness?!

With the order of Emperor Ashoka, another 500,000 forbidden troops gathered on the Tibetan border.

Counting the million forbidden troops already stationed in Tibet, and the 300,000 Tibetan army that was swallowed up and transformed, Ashoka pressed a full 1.8 million army, and his courage was extraordinary.

With this army, Emperor Ashoka even had the confidence to turn defense into offense and attack the province of Great Xia Shu.

After all, according to the information from the front-line agents, Great Xia was only transporting grain and grass materials to the front line at this time, and there was no sign of the movement of the army. Even the news of grain transportation found was limited to Shu Province.

The intelligence capabilities between the two are really not on the same order of magnitude.

Compared with the sluggishness of the Ashoka Dynasty's secret agents, the Black Snake Guard secret agents who are active in the Tianzhu District are very powerful, and as soon as Ashoka issued a war mobilization order, the relevant information was detected as soon as possible and reported to the imperial court.

August 18, Jingshi.

The Secret Pavilion Bachelor's peerless elegance is not powdered, wearing a black power suit, looking calm and capable, deliberately hiding his peerless appearance, taking the information that the Black Snake Wei just presented, and sending it to the imperial study case.

Just entered the Secret Pavilion, and was in charge of intelligence secrets, the peerless elegance is naturally low-key and low-key.

She knew very well that although the decoration of the summer palace was almost the same as that of the former Great Zhou Palace, the two were really completely unequal, and this palace was not only the center of Great Xia, but also the center of the world.

Every move has attracted the attention of all parties.

It is impossible for Her Majesty to trust her like Di Chen, all she can do is to say less and do more, and she does not dare to have any outrageous words and deeds, let alone dress brightly, so as not to fall into the name of seducing Your Majesty.

A man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows him.

Ouyang Shuo naturally had no time to pay attention to the thoughts of the peerless elegance, and took over the intelligence copy. Because of the preparation for the Battle of Tubo, the labor and money, and the government and the opposition, Ouyang Shuo is facing a lot of invisible pressure.

Although no one dared to stand up against it, once this battle was frustrated, Ouyang Shuo's prestige in the government and the opposition would inevitably be affected to a certain extent.

If we follow the historical bridge, Jia Xu, the initiator, will lose his official position and become a scapegoat.

Therefore, this battle is only allowed to be won, not lost.

After reading the information, Ouyang Shuo smiled at ease, he was worried that Ashoka would not dare to press it, in that case, only one million Ashoka Dynasty troops would be consumed, and it would be far from achieving the goal of weakening the Ashoka Dynasty.

Ashoka did not disappoint Ouyang Shuo.

"Send a copy of this information to the Military Aircraft Division, the Privy Council, the Northwest Theater and the Southwest Theater, and say, it's okay to move." Ouyang Shuo put down the information and commanded.

"No!"

The peerless Fenghua nodded in response, and sighed in his heart, compared with Di Chen's every time he was either anxious or anxious, the man in front of him was really lightweight.

This demeanor can't be learned.
