On this day, Zhao Huan read the memorial presented by Tang Ke.

Currently, the military rations in Shazhou are as high as 300,000 stones, and 30 granaries have been built in Heishui City and Beiting Prefecture respectively.

The number of people allocated from Shaanxi Road and Hedong Road reached one million, and the number of local wing army reserves increased by 800,000.

The railway from Chang'an City to Dunhuang has also begun to take action.

In addition, all the 100,000 elite cavalry stationed in Shazhou were equipped with muskets.

The continuous stream of food is transported from the Central Plains, Jiangnan and southwest through well-connected highways to the northwest.

Shaanxi, Hetao, Longyou and Beiting, these four places are from Guanzhong to Qingtang, from Qingtang to Grassland.

There are thousands of miles in a horizontal direction, and thousands of miles in a north and south.

A vast territory.

There are hundreds of prefectures and thousands of military camps, scattered in various places, complex places, and mountains.

There are barbarians hiding.

Let’s talk about Longyou, which is located in Tubo in the south, and it is also a plateau area. Beiting is located on the grassland. All the barbarians in the Beihai have different intentions.

The court used troops to the northwest again and the war with Gaochang was about to begin.

It is indeed not easy to control such a huge area and population.

Zhao Huan couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, Tang Ke was able to have a unified person to be assigned.

In this way, Yue Fei and Wu Jie can also deploy the Western Expedition Strategy with peace of mind.

Officials of all sizes and sizes in Hetao, Shaanxi, and Beiting still recognize Tang Ke, after all, most of them were promoted by one hand.

The efficiency is naturally much higher.

Zhao Huan is still satisfied with the current progress.

In Chang'an in May, peonies bloom in full bloom.

The roadside cars and horses are like dragons and pedestrians are like weaving.

Chang'an has expanded several times more than ten years ago.

It seems to restore the atmosphere of the former Tang Dynasty.

Since February this year, the imperial court has strengthened control over Hu merchants coming from the northwest.

Before entering Tongguan and arriving in Chang'an, all the merchants underwent strict inspections.

And on the streets of Chang'an, people reading newspapers can be seen everywhere.

Everyone seemed to be very concerned about the war in Xichiao.

Sima Junru just arrived at the Chang'an Imperial City Office and received news: Yelu Dashi defeated the Dashi army in the Western Regions, incorporated all the forces of the Khartodian Khanate, and also cut off the Silk Road.

In Beiting Mansion in May, the bells and grass grows.

The snow on the grassland has long melted, and the endless green and blue sky extend to infinity.

After the emperor made the northern expedition to the grassland a few years ago, the Beiting Mansion built had already issued a scale.

The total population here has reached 800,000.

From Xingqing Prefecture to Heishui City, and then to Beiting, the imperial court built a total of fifty inns on this line.

In order to fully and firmly control the grassland, Zhao Huan did not hesitate to invest a lot of money here.

Not only that, two years ago, another military city was built 300 miles north of Beiting Prefecture.

"Young Master, do you think you have a team of barbarian cavalry by the Qing River?"

"That's right, Gu Shuai, I see it very clearly!"

He spoke with a young man with an extraordinary temperament.

"How many people are there?"

“About five thousand.”

"Young Master, this matter is a major military and national event. Do you know the consequences of the unscrupulous military information?"

"Gu Shuai, I am willing to use my superiors as a guarantee!"

Gu Changting pursed his lips. It was not that he didn't believe in 6you, but that there was no news from Pan Weizhi's side.

"I will let the spy go out and do the investigation."

"Gu Shuai, the barbarians on the grassland have been silent for six years. This time, I suddenly appeared. I am worried that this matter is not simple. Why not let the soldiers go back to the city first and then make arrangements."

Gu Changting pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, since it is the young master's guarantee, I believe in the young master."

Soon, Gu Changting's messengers dispersed from the city wall.

In the evening, three teams came back from outside.

These teams go out to hunt during the day and patrol the grassland herders' situation.

"Why are only three people back? Sun Shaokang? Why haven't his people come back?"

"You report to Gu Shuai, a group of herders in Sun Du Yuhou is going to move away and are dealing with this matter!"

"Damn shit! My military order has been passed down. Even if the sky falls, I have to come back!" Gu Changting got angry.

"Military judge, when Sun Shaokang comes back, he and his people will each receive thirty military sticks!"

When it was almost dark, a small group of people suddenly appeared in the distance.

They rushed over.

"Hurry! Open the door!"

The soldiers guarding the city quickly opened the door, but saw the few people who came back were covered in blood and some were seriously injured.

"Ship Gu!" The commander rushed to the commander's mansion, "Marquis Sun Du Yu is back and is seriously injured. Only eight brothers have returned!"

Gu Changting was looking at the map, and when he heard the news, he jumped up.

"Call 6 games here!"

He rode his horse and rushed to the military doctor with his men.

As expected, when I saw Sun Shaokang and others lying on the bed, all the gauze was dyed red.

The doctor is injecting a newly developed drug called penicillin to several of them, which is said to prevent infection.

6you also appeared at the door.

"Sun Shaokang, what's going on?"

"Ship Gu, the last general is incompetent and was attacked by the barbarians!"

"Nonsense! You brought three hundred brothers out for me, each of them are elite. The barbarians on the grassland were killed by the emperor six years ago. Seeing that my Song army could only hide, how could this be? Tell the truth!"

Gu Changting's mind was messy. It was not that he didn't believe in Sun Shaokang, but that this incident had a big blow to him.

Three hundred people went out and eight people came back!

This is something he has never had in the grassland for three years.

"Gu Shuai, every word of humble duty is true!"

Gu Changting was furious and rushed over and slapped Sun Shaokang: "This commander's military order is spread, and you are asking you to come back, why not reply!"

Sun Shaokang's face was ashes: "Those herdsmen want to move away. According to the court's laws, grassland herdsmen are not allowed to move for five miles. They are humble..."

Gu Changting kicked him again: "Military orders are like mountains!"

The expression on Sun Shaokang's face was terrifyingly pale, as if he was wearing a mask.

"Gu Shuai, please give me a gentle look for my father's sake."

"It's useless for your father to come. It's not that I want to punish you, it's the Supervision Bureau. You can go to the military court for this crime."

6 You stood aside and suddenly said, "Gu Shuai, over the years, can there be any herders moving on the grassland?"

"No." Gu Changting shook his head, "When the Marquis of Yongwu cast Jingguan on the grassland, he killed the barbarians and frightened them. The court issued another decree to prohibit the grassland tribes from moving for five miles. Anyone who violated the enemy would be executed, and no one dared to do anything to do anything."

"Then this time there was a herders moving. I thought it was deliberately tempting our army to stay, and the barbarian army had an opportunity to take advantage of it."

After he said this, Gu Changting immediately understood.

"Since the barbarians have taken action, they must be prepared. They are probably already rushing towards us now. Gu Shuai should immediately mobilize the entire army to defend."

His words made the atmosphere solidify.

"Leave Sun Shaokang to the Supervision Bureau for investigation and prosecution, and the rest of them lead their troops and prepare for war at any time!"

"Gu Shuai, for the sake of my father, I spared my humble post once!"

"Even if Sun Shuai is here, he can't save you."

Gu Changting turned around and left, and Sun Shaokang showed resentful eyes.

Soon, war drums sounded in the city walls, and teams of soldiers lined up, and defense was added to the top of the city.

If as 6th Travel said, a large horse flowed towards this side under the cold moonlight.

boom……

A huge flaming stone was bounced up and turned into a arc in the air, smashing it on the top of the city, killing a soldier on the spot.

6 You frowned and his face became gloomy: This kind of catapult cart was made by my Song Dynasty, why do these barbarians on the grassland have it?
