During this period, accompanied by Ling Tianfang, I inspected the road construction site from Woyuan Town to Heping Town, and made an enthusiastic speech at the construction site, encouraging the people of all nationalities to work hard to build a new Jinzhou as quickly as possible. Subsequently, I inspected the construction of market towns in Woyuan Town and Heping Town, and cut ribbons for the newly built hospitals and schools in the local area.

At the meeting of grassroots political officials in the southern and western districts of Jinzhou Prefecture, while affirming the achievements made by the grassroots officials of various nationalities, I also warned them that I will never tolerate discrimination against ethnic minorities, but I will never allow certain people to use their ethnic status to disobey the management of local political axes or to engage in favoritism or corrupt the law; no matter what nationality an official holds, no matter what position he holds, he must be subject to the supervision of the Supervision Bureau, and once it is found that there is any illegal act, he will be severely punished, and no one shall be above the law. Under my insinuations, some people had to voluntarily surrender to the Inspectorate after the meeting.

After the meeting, I had a one-on-one meeting with the four Grand Elders of the Gaoyue people, who had gradually adapted to their current status as Imperial Governors, and I hoped that they would gradually integrate into the Golden Prefecture and become ordinary members of my subordinates. I asked them to strengthen the management and education of their subordinates, improve the quality of political officials, and at the same time invite four people to Golden State to watch the army's training report.

In the subsequent report drill of the two garrison divisions in Jinzhou, I invited all the celebrities and gentry, the big businessmen, and political officials at all levels in the Jinzhou Prefecture to watch it, and I also made an exception to allow some people in the prefecture to enter the stadium to watch. After watching the drill of the Second Garrison Division, which was composed of Gaoyue people, the gentry and businessmen were not only shocked by the amazing combat effectiveness of the Gaoyue soldiers, but also admired me for being able to take such a unit as their help, and the elders of the Gaoyue people were also extremely proud and proud of being able to inspect the garrison of the Jinzhou political axe, which was a special treatment that the Gaoyue people had never thought of before, and it was also a special treatment that the Gaoyue people in other places had never thought of now, and this also fully reflected my policy of equality for all ethnic groups。 My prestige also rose to an unprecedented level, and almost everyone regarded me as the emperor of the Golden State Mansion, and I was also warmly welcomed by the local people everywhere.

In my spare time, I play around with Lu Xianxian and Di Rena, Lu Xianxian is naturally the best tour guide, and I have fun with my two daughters at night. I also took the time to meet with Lu Yunshan, who has already served as the president of the Golden State Chamber of Commerce, and he has now become a busy man, not only investing heavily in the southern region of Golden State, building several new medicine halls to purchase medicinal materials, but also dealing with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and in the conversation, he also said that he would expand the export of medicinal materials to the Imperial Jiangnan County, Wuhu County, and the Kingdom of Milan. I also talked to him about the relationship between Lu Xianxian, he just hoped that I would not live up to Xianxian, and he didn't say much else, he was an understanding person, in fact, he already knew how far my relationship with Lu Xianxian had developed.

In August, the temperature is even hotter, but fortunately, Jinzhou is an excellent summer resort due to its high forest coverage, just when I was immersed in endless joy with Xian Xian and Di Rena, a letter sent by Mo Lun made me have to leave for Qingyang.

"At present, the situation in Guide and Bonan has been out of control, except for Fucheng, most of the other areas have been controlled by the riot army and those bandit organizations that take advantage of the fire to loot, and there are already small groups of rebel troops who are tentatively operating in the border area with Qingyang and Jinzhou. According to intelligence, the strength of the Luope people's eastern expedition is estimated to be more than the year before last, reaching 200,000, and it is estimated that the proportion of infantry will also be greatly increased than the year before, and the intelligence also reflects that as early as the first half of the year, the Luope people ordered a large number of siege equipment from the Famini Empire on the western continent, including large siege weapons such as storming vehicles, arrow towers, and crash vehicles. Melun also appeared worried when he reported.

If that's the case, it looks like the Ropes are trying to recoup the loss on me, but will they be able to do so?

I squinted my eyes, lay on the Taishi's chair, listened to Mo Lun's detailed introduction of all aspects, and asked Mo Lun casually: "The Luope people have suffered another great drought, and they must have to search these neighbors around them, how do the countries of the Western Regions react?"

"The Luope people have already thought that the five countries of the Western Regions have issued a list of required materials, and the five countries of the Western Regions have reacted quite strongly, and have sent people to negotiate with the Luope people, but the specific situation is not yet clear. ”

"Then did the Five Western Regions send people to contact us to jointly defend against the Luope?" Although I have any hope for the Five Kingdoms of the Western Regions, I also want to see how long these five countries can endure in the face of the Luope's extortion.

"So far, no one has approached us. Xiao Tang replied.

"It seems that the countries of the Western Regions are still too afraid of the military strength of the Luope people, and they are not confident enough about us. I smiled and stood up, "But if the situation is already clear, there will be no suspense." However, I heard that the lord of Loulan Kingdom, Hai Yibar, is quite strategic, and he is so difficult that he doesn't dare to react?"

Mo Lun thought for a moment, "Loulan Country is located in the north-central part of the Five Kingdoms of the Western Regions, and it is still separated from our territory by Gaochang Kingdom, and the distance is also more than two hundred kilometers, I'm afraid he is worried that even if he unites with us, he won't be able to help him much." ”

"Well, it can only be this reason, but the Luope people have to make inches, and the survival of the five countries in the Western Regions will become more and more difficult. I nodded in agreement with Morun's opinion, "I heard that Hayibar has a daughter who is quite outstanding, not only beautiful in the country, but also skilled in arching and horses, known as 'Mulan of the Western Regions', I wonder if this is true?"

"Yes, absolutely. Morun's fat face showed a confused expression as he retrieved the materials in his hand," Hayibar's daughter is called Haritina, seventeen years old, is the first beauty in the Western Regions, not only has the appearance of sinking fish and geese, but also strong martial arts, it is said that there are few men in Loulan Kingdom, there are few comparable to it, last year the Second Royal Highness of Kuqa in the Western Regions met Haritsyna on the road, shocked, entangled, angered Harichena, together with the guards of Kuqa State, were beaten by Haritina, this incident shook the entire Western Regions, and also cast a shadow on the relationship between the two countries, and finally the lord of the Baijia country came forward to reconcile, which was barely recovered。 ”

"It looks like a thorny rose. Morun, you've really collected all the information you need to know about this. I looked at Melun with a smile.

"That's nature. There must be no negligence in intelligence work, and it has a bearing on the overall situation. Morlen replied with an undeserved face.

"But why do these materials seem to be wet and sticky, shouldn't it be your saliva?" I glanced at a somewhat embarrassed Morun with a smirk.

"But your sleeves seem to be wet, sir. Morren also retorted.

I avoided answering and returned to the point, "Since the Luope people are determined to fight us, we can only accompany us to the end. Mo Lun, you should also analyze and sort out all the information about the personal situation of Uller and the current troops of the expedition to the west and the eastern part of the expedition under you, and also strengthen the collection of information on the composition of the arms and combat effectiveness of the Luope army that is about to go east, the military commanders of each part, and the march route, especially the composition of the troops and the route of the march must be found out at all costs. "Whether it is Mo Lun or Ling Tianfang who is in charge of the intelligence department, I have never relaxed, they have also done a very good job, and they have also done their best to ensure the funding, so the intelligence work on several important targets has also been quite successful.

"As for the two prefectures of Guide and Bonan, leave it alone for the time being. The last time we sent troops to Jinzhou has caused an uproar in the center of the empire, if we cross the line again this time, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble, and we are fighting on both sides, and our troops are far from enough, so let's solve the big trouble of the Luope people first. My tone was full of confidence in victory.

As time passed, the armies of Qingyang and Jinzhou also began to raise their alert levels, and began to conduct special training for surnames. On August 25, 693, in accordance with my order, the 1st Garrison Division of Jinzhou left one wing to garrison, and the remaining four wings under the leadership of Liang Chongxin set off for Qingyang together with the 2nd Garrison Division of Jinzhou led by Mu Lige and the spear wing directly under it. At the same time, Ling Tianfang also asked Yamane to recruit 15,000 reservists from the Combat Readiness Department to assist the garrison of the Fifth Wing of the First Garrison Division in defense.

I stood alone in the conference room, looking at the large map on the wall and pondering it, and there was a more detailed topographical map on the desk, which I had been thinking about for a long time. The strength of the enemy has been almost certain, 200,000 troops, more than twice the number of troops at my disposal, and some of my army must be stationed in the border area with Guide and Bonan provinces to prevent the invasion of the rebel army.

Of the enemy's 200,000 troops, about 50,000 were ironclad cavalry, about 100,000 light infantry, about 40,000 light cavalry, and about 10,000 hoplites. The intelligence department under the command of Moren is quite efficient, and of course it has a lot to do with my big investment, and Moren extorts a lot of money and good personnel from me for this purpose.

The enemy's newly formed expedition to the east was based on the original expedition to the west, and the original expedition to the west suffered heavy losses in the seventh Tengger war with the Chidi people, although it was replenished immediately after the war, but the veterans who had only been trained for a few months still had a certain difference in combat effectiveness, although the young and middle-aged nomads were often trained. Compared to my own side, compared to the year before last when the Qingyang defense battle, the strength of the army has increased several times, and a large number of excellent Gaoyue people have been obtained as hoplites, although we are still at a disadvantage in numbers, but I still firmly believe that we can defeat the invading enemy, the question is how to solve this battle perfectly, and to get more benefits from this battle.

I also analyzed in detail the personal situation of the current general of the Luope people in the east sent by the intelligence officer, although Ulle is known as the first fierce general of Luope, but his exploits are mainly established in the war with other nomads on the Tengger steppe for hegemony, I carefully understand his surname and every war he participated in and found that he fought bravely, especially good at leading the ironclad cavalry to fight, but there are also weaknesses, that is, he used surprising few tricks in previous wars, and generally took a face-to-face frontal attack to defeat the enemy and win, perhaps because the nomads themselves value winning with real strength。 And the intelligence shows that he is not familiar with the situation in the east, and disdains the strength of his neighbor in the east, that is, the emperor [***] team, thinking that the emperor [***] team is weak in combat and cannot confront the regular army of Luo Pei at all, so he is sarcastic and sarcastic about the defeat of Tu Da the year before last to conquer the east.

Based on this information, I already have a rough outline of the basic direction of this campaign, but whether or not to really adopt my own ideas, I think I should make a decision after consulting with my subordinates, after all, this battle is very important.
