In the administrative office, the two of them were silently sitting on chairs and thinking. Two cups of steaming coffee exuded a strong aroma, but it did not whet the appetite of the two people next to them in the slightest.

"Brother Su, what do you think?" Xiao Tang on the left hand side finally spoke.

"It's hard to say. This person is secretive, and he only says that he wants to meet Master Li, and if he is not Lord Li, he will not talk about his mission. However, I checked his identification, and it was probably correct that he was an envoy of the Kamanes. Su Qin, who was sitting on his right hand, was obviously also deeply interested in the mission of the visitor.

"The Kkamans have never had any friendship with adults, so what good will happen if the envoy comes this time?" Xiao Tang was very confused.

"This Kaman Empire has always been the biggest strong enemy of the empire in the north, with hundreds of thousands of armor in the country, and the national strength is also the strongest among the northern countries, the prime minister of the country, Gomez, is old and deep, far-sighted, and ambitious, and the army is known as the 'Kaman Twin Pillars' Miley and Nick, a tough and sophisticated, gloomy and steady, a brave and fierce, resourceful, rare general, and a rising star Claudia is also quite a general. What's even more worrying is that their domestic military and political forces, except for this emperor, everyone else has cooperated very tacitly, which has also caused great pressure on the empire. If there was no Jiayu Pass in Taixuan Mansion to block it, I am afraid that the north of the empire would have been in trouble a long time ago, and even our northwest may not be safe. "Su Qin still has a clear view of the form of the empire.

"Yes, even so, the Kamans still tried every means to tear a hole in the Principality of Gerook, and still occupy the city of Jiama, stationed a large army, ready to go south to graze horses, a great threat to the empire. Xiao Tang also nodded.

"Well, the Duchy of Gerok is an important barrier to the north of the empire and an important ally of the empire, but the empire is now unable to support it, which is really embarrassing. Su Qin was also very perceptive.

"Now that the Kamans have suddenly sent an envoy to meet Master Li, what kind of conspiracy will there be?" Xiao Tang's topic came back to the topic.

"I guess it's always related to Taixuan Mansion, the Kaman people have long wanted to kick out the roadblock of Taixuan Mansion, and the Eastern Continent also knows that this Taixuan Mansion is nominally the territory of adults, but it has always been outside the direct jurisdiction of Lord Li, which must also be unwilling by Lord Li, there is naturally a contradiction in this, I think if there is a contradiction, someone will pay attention to this contradiction." A smile appeared on Su Qin's face, "But I don't think Lord Li is a good person, and if the Kaman people want to make a deal with Lord Li, I'm afraid they won't be able to pay a sufficient price." ”

"Well, since this envoy is unwilling to tell us, we are not reluctant, but Master Li has already gone to Beijing, so let's tell him the news, let him go back to his life, and report the situation to Ling Tianfang, and then report it to Lord Li in Yanjing, I think this person should also go to Beijing to finish his duties, I don't know when he will return." Xiao Tang nodded steadily.

When Ling Tianfang received the news from Xiao Su and the others, he was seriously inspecting the preparations for the establishment of the Northwest Reading Light Cavalry Division on the grassland in the northwest region of Qingyang. The information from Xiao Su and the others immediately aroused his great attention, although the envoy of the Kaman people did not explain any intentions, but the arrival of the envoy himself actually explained many problems.

Ling Tianfang stood on the parade platform on the battlefield and silently stared into the distance, the heavy burden on his shoulders made him feel extremely full but a little nervous. After all, I don't know when this Master Li will be able to return, although the risk is not very great, but the political things are difficult to say, and they are fickle, and if there is no accident, it will be delayed for a while. And as soon as this Lord Li leaves, the defense affairs of the entire northwest and northern Luzon will be all on his shoulders, what is the problem, even if he wants to ask his boss who is far away in the capital, I am afraid it will be too late, and he will have to rely on himself.

The Yinchuan Prefecture in the north has always been a scourge, and the pressure caused by the three elite divisions forced him to strengthen the patrol of the northern border and the surveillance of the Yinchuan Prefecture at night, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest. There are also 150,000 enemy troops of the Siathrow people stationed in Nuremberg, to the south is a fertile field for thousands of miles, a horse and a flat river, if the cavalry forcibly marches, it only takes one day to suppress the northern border of Qingyang, if you add Sun Yuanliang's army, then Qingyang's situation is extremely dangerous. Of course, this situation may be very small, and it is impossible for anyone to go out without leaving any left-behind troops, and this Sun Yuanliang is even more impossible. However, as its own side, it has to prepare for the worst, so as not to have a real crisis, and there is nothing but helplessness.

"Lord Ling, how are you looking at the preparations, are you okay?" Three senior officers in full military uniforms also walked onto the parade platform, and the first one was naturally Cui Wenxiu, who had made meritorious contributions to the crime, his tone was full of pride and pride, where was there a half-guilty appearance.

"Well, it's not bad, I see that these horses are quite good, and the quality of the soldiers is also very good, you have to strengthen your training, don't Lord Li come back, it's still like this bird." Ling Tianfang and Cui Wenxiu are quite familiar with each other, and their personal relationship is also very good, although they are both serious on formal occasions, they still often joke when there are no outsiders.

"Then where can it be, isn't it just formed now, the soldiers and horses have just been separated, even the armor has not been completed, and the training has not yet begun. Cui Wenxiu said with a smile, obviously satisfied with the quality of his new batch of soldiers.

"Yes, the division commander pulled out all the middle-aged men in the Yuli people, selected them one by one, screened and sifted, and then selected more than 10,000 people, and eliminated some of them, and the rest are all elites, and the remaining more than 10,000 people are also the essence of the selection from the reserve forces of various provinces, and even the people from the people's war readiness department have opinions, saying that we are too demanding. Immediately behind Cui Wenxiu is Jiang Han, who looks much more energetic in the spring breeze, and his momentum is very different from before.

Originally, according to Wufeng's plan, 15,000 soldiers were selected from among the Yuli people as the main force of the light cavalry division, but when Wufeng left, Ling Tianfang and Cui Wenxiu abandoned this plan after discussion, and reduced the number of Yuli soldiers to 10,000, and selected 2,000 from other nomadic small tribes living in the grasslands northwest of Qingyang, and the remaining 10,000 people were selected from the reserve forces in the four prefectures of Northwest County.

Ling Tianfang and Cui Wenxiu did this mainly because on the one hand, they wanted to avoid the excessive impact of selecting too many strong men on the production and life of the Juli people, and more importantly, they wanted to prevent the Juli soldiers from occupying too much proportion in the cavalry, so as to achieve a relative balance, after all, the Juli people came from the Tengger grassland, belonged to the nomadic people, and they did not settle in Qingyang for a long time, and they were also forced by the pressure of the Luope people, if the balance of forces in this area changed, it would inevitably affect the change in the attitude of these ethnic groups。

"Well, the quality is of course very good, but if the training does not keep up, it will not be able to form an effective combat force, you can't be blindly optimistic. By the way, what's the matter with the people who are preparing for the summer of war?Why are even the horses already ready and the armor is not ready?" Ling Tianfang put his eyes on Jiang Han's face, and his expression became serious.

Since the light cavalry division had just been formed, there was no suitable candidate for the logistics director of the division for a while, so Jiang Han, the deputy commander of the division, temporarily served as the commander.

"Oh, Lord Ling, the problem of horses is that the division commander and the people from the War Readiness Department forcibly went to the military horse farm and almost snatched away the horses that were bred by others, and the people in the military horse farm are scolding us for being robbers, and the people of the War Readiness Department have purchased 8,000 excellent war horses from the Mott people in advance, so they are ready. And the armor was originally prepared to have more than 10,000 pairs, but I didn't expect to be so urgent, so I didn't prepare enough, and now the War Readiness Administration has urgently ordered 5,000 pairs to the Zhan's Leather Workshop, requiring delivery within a month, and the Zhanjia has asked all the workers to work overtime every day to rush to work, and strive to complete it within a month. Jiang Han explained unhurriedly.

"Well, that's the case, if you want the Zhanjia to complete the task within the specified time, otherwise even if he originally had an agreement with the adult, I still don't recognize it, he doesn't accept it and let him go to the adult, he can't afford to take this responsibility...... Ling Tianfang's face didn't have a trace of relaxation, "Lu Man, this kid is also gone, this War Readiness Agency lacks a person in charge, won't it be transferred?"

"Don't worry, there should be no problem. Jiang Han said with a smile, "His Zhan family has never dared to be vague about Lord Li's affairs, Zhan Zhaobai is an old fox, what is a big thing and what is a small matter, he can tell better than anyone else, and he still wants to make a fortune by relying on the mountains." ”

"My lord, I see that you have been looking at the north just now, as if you have something on your mind?" asked Yan Tong, the chief of staff, who had not spoken.

"Well, I got information that this Mott actually shook hands with the Sithroes this year, and so far, there has not been a war between the two sides, if it was in previous years, I don't know how many battles have been fought. Ling Tian said sullenly.

"Oh, isn't the Sithlo army stationed in Nuremberg very idle?" Yan Tong reacted quickly.

"Well, I can't say for sure, without the pressure of the Motts, the Sithlos have a lot more room to move. Ling Tian said lightly, his eyes becoming deeper.

"Qingyang also has the second, third, and fifth divisions and garrison divisions, and the fourth division is also stationed in the north of Guide, which can respond at any time, and our strength is still quite solid. Cui Wenxiu said silently.

"I wonder when the First Division will be able to return to the northwest?" Jiang Han also asked.

"Not yet. Although the situation in North Luzon is not as complicated as on our side, we have just gained a foothold, and there must still be many remnants of the opposition forces that want to make trouble from it, and the 1st Infantry Division of North Luzon in Shanzhu is just a militia of the original Gaoyue people who have changed their name, and we still have to make great efforts to really form combat effectiveness. As for the local garrison divisions, they have just been formed, and they can't play much role at all, and it's okay to scare the common people, but if they really want to go to the battlefield, they will be exposed. Without the 1st Division sitting there, I'm afraid that this Northern Luzon will not be peaceful, and I still think that the strength there is still insufficient. Ling Tianfang expressed his opinion.

"My lord, you see that Sun Yuanliang of Yinchuan is really a trouble, if there is a chance, he should be dealt with first. Yan Tong put forward his own views.

"It's easy to say, then Sun Yuanliang has been running Yinchuan for decades, the city is high and the walls are thick, there are three divisions of elite troops, and there is a big backer behind him, how can it be so easy to solve?" Jiang Han shook his head and said.

"Look at the opportunity, if you can't do it now, it doesn't mean that you won't work in the future, maybe the situation will change. Now your task is to seize the time to build these recruits into combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and the battle will be fought. The corners of Ling Tian's mouth showed a mysterious smile, and he also looked at the northeast.
