In the century of the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, the national policy of wise rulers and wise ministers in all dynasties has been developed, and the three major aspects of military use are different: "Anbei should be like a long whales sweeping the floor, Anxi should be like a spring eroding mulberry, Andong should be able to monitor the situation, and wait for the weather, and one blow will win two tigers."

Because the West is also a densely populated place for barbarians, the Anxi Military Office has been committed to maintaining the stability of the western border of the empire to facilitate the survival and reproduction of the Xia people in the river. In terms of strategy, the Anxi Military Office of the Xia Kingdom will never let itself be the target of all kinds of barbarians, but always take advantage of their opportunities to fight each other to gain the greatest benefits. For a hundred years, every time they get a new place, they immigrate to reclaim their colonies, until the Xia people have an absolute advantage in terms of population and customs, and then expel the barbarians and expand the borders.

Today, the Five Anxi Army, the Huamao Army Reconciliation Army is stationed in Xiliuzhou and is managing the entire Khorasan area. The Anxi Army has been planning to go south along the Kafis River to Haikou. The Aconite Army monitored the Wuhu River, and the Hengzhen Army and the Yange Army were stationed in the Baishui City area of ​​Suye Town, both guarding and protecting the important roads leading from the northwest of the Tianshan Mountains to the river. In order to control the vast area, the power use of the Anxi army has reached its peak. The three armies of Heishan, Lu and Dangfeng, directly under the General's Mansion, were stationed in the hinterland of the river and served as reserves. In addition, the Weiyuan Army and the Tiebi Army, directly under the General's Mansion, were stationed at the key passes of Shishan, such as Weiyuan Army, Weiyuan Town, and other Shishan passes to block the Luos people from advancing through Shishan.

After the Romans attempted to force Xia to give trade privileges by force and crossed the border and plundered several times, the Anxi Army Office had always been extremely dissatisfied with the Romans army. The Anxi Army Office had also attacked the Romans border and carried out several punishments and sieges, but never thought of occupying the Romans, because it was full of the Romans barbarians, and their beliefs and customs were very different from those of the Xia people. The protracted occupation would become a heavy burden in the river.

General Xu Wenhu, the general of the Anxi Army, arrived in Dunhuang last night. The Huguo Mansion actually changed the strategy of erosion that had been adhering to the 100-year-old, and was preparing to annex Anxi's most important ally, Lumei Kingdom.

Not all the lieutenants knew the status of the Lumei Kingdom among the Western barbarians, just like the declining Zhou Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. About twenty years ago, because the emperor of Lumei Kingdom wrote a letter to the West, he attracted a group of beggars and outlaws who claimed to be "crus" and snatched Jerusalem from the hands of Dashi. The report of the Chengying Camp soldiers who protected the last group of Xia merchants from the holy city recorded their atrocities. The "crusad" thugs massacred civilians regardless of race and belief, from the city gate to the Temple of Solomon, and started killing in temples filled with refugees, and blood on the ground even drowns their ankles.

Although the Western barbarians and nations did not sell their accounts against the Lumei Kingdom, as long as the Xia Kingdom occupied Lumei, it would definitely become the target of the Western countries. Xu Wenhu was sure that when the Xia Kingdom fought with the Western coalition forces, the great cannibals, Turks, and Ross people would come out to make trouble together. These barbarians who are not of our race had long been salivating about the wealth in the river. From then on, the Anxi Army Office would fall into a protracted war, either experiencing painful failures or being forced to expand the front line. As time went by, like the Lumei Kingdom used to, even if they won many wars and occupied the land but could not conquer the hearts of the people, the long front line would still be dragged down.

Although the first phase of the battle against Ross was presided over by the Anbei Army Department, Xu Wenhu rushed over from the river to participate in the court debate. He believed that it was best to maintain Lu Mei's dependence on Xia State, gradually deepen it, and gradually incorporate it into the Xia State system. The conquest and occupation of Lu Mei will only turn allies into enemies. In the long run, it will be harmful to Xia State but not beneficial.

In the river, Xu Wenhu was always considering conflicts with the Ross people, the great cannibals, the Turks and even the Crusaders. The Anxi cavalry can rush and shoot, and the infantry advocated heavy armor and strong formations, but maintained the traditional advantages of the Xia army's crossbow. This style was highly praised by Lumei emperors in all dynasties, so he hoped that the Xia Kingdom would send mercenaries to assist in the defense of the capital. But Lumei's problem was not military, but the aristocrats attached to the body of the empire had drained the essence and blood of the country, so that the self-cultivated farmers and soldiers were completely exhausted. If this problem was not solved and if the mercenaries were always relying on mercenaries, Lumei would one day be retaliated against by the mercenaries and suffered a great loss.

How to turn Lu Mei into a bridgehead on the western frontier of Xia Kingdom was an unsolved problem for Xu Wenhu. Decades of military struggle led him to an idea that the plan could not keep up with changes.

The outcome of a war depends on the correct and decisive handling of sudden and unforeseen actions by us and the enemy. Various plans in advance are just a draft prepared for real battlefield decisions. It may be altered to a mess at any time and be left to the marching Sima to write a report.

In order to ensure that the Anxi Army can respond to various events at any time, Xu Wenhu tried his best to understand the characteristics of the Anxi Army since he became a general in Anxi. Although there was no war, he still patrolled every pass and military camp over and over again. He always talked to all the generals and lieutenants he met, and used his experience to guide them in the things they did not do well. He had a clear impression of every battalion of the Anxi Army. He knew almost all important officers and their opinions and factions. Decades of diligence have given this gray-haired veteran with no one in the Anxi Army.

The Xia State army belonged to the General's Mansion and the three front military departments respectively. The emperor himself personally led the General's Mansion, but the emperor usually did not personally command the army and was directly under the army. In fact, the marching department and the logistics department cooperated and coordinated.

General Zhang Shanfu, the general of the marching department, was a loyal executor of the decision-making of the Guardian and the emperor, and was also an excellent coordinator of the conflicts of interests among the army. He was also very capable of making suggestions. Among all the generals, except for Liu Yi, Zhang Shanfu had the greatest influence on the emperor. Zhang Shanfu led the marching department to draft various military plans, and made the emperor and the lieutenants of the Guardian and the lieutenants of the Guardian and were deeply convinced of the effectiveness of the plan. In all aspects, he was an excellent general. However, Xu Wenhu still believed that he did not understand the situation facing Hezhong enough and overestimated the ability of the Xia army to solve problems. Xu Wenhu and many generals from the border army felt that the marching department of the General's Office and the Prime Minister's Office coordinated Cao had an unrealistic desire to use plans and estimates to control everything. Once a problem arises in the plan, the front-line officers still had to make a decision at the moment. At that time, they might have to pay a huge price to avoid the country paying a greater price.
