After Li Dingguo and his party entered Jiayuguan, they were immediately warmly welcomed by Han Pu, the general of Jiayuguan.

As the highest general in the Jiayuguan area, Han Pu, on behalf of all the soldiers, gave a welcome banquet for King Li Dingguo of Jin and all the Dukes of the Kingdom of China.

There are no civil servants in places like Jiayuguan, so military generals represent the highest officials to some extent.

Although Han Pu received a report from the imperial court and learned that the King of Jin led a large army to the Western Regions, he did not expect it to come so quickly.

The King of Jin is indeed a practical person.

No wonder His Majesty was relied on as a pillar and took control of the commandership of the Western Expedition Army.

It seems that Daming is determined to regain the Western Regions. As for whether he can succeed, in addition to his strength, luck is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

Of course, these are not issues that need to be considered at the moment. The most important thing at the moment is to hold this welcoming banquet well.

"His Highness of the King of Jin, the last general Han Pu, representing the soldiers of Jiayuguan, welcome the arrival of the army."

Jiayuguan is very small, so except for Li Dingguo and his personal soldiers, the rest of the soldiers were stationed outside the city.

This somewhat disappointed them, after all, they wanted to take a hot shower.

The conditions outside the city are much more difficult. Although you can only take a shower, it is definitely not that comfortable.

Of course, the conditions of Li Dingguo and others can be guaranteed. He also raised his glass and said, "Thank you, General Han for your warm hospitality. I am disturbing you."

"What is your Highness King Jin saying? I will be honored to entertain Your Highness King Jin."

The two raised their glasses and drank them all.

Han Pu took a deep breath and said, "The last general has also received a report from the court before. The Holy Emperor is so wise and powerful, and the recovery of the Western Regions is just around the corner."

This is totally flattery.

But although Li Dingguo knew that Han Pu was flattering, he couldn't say anything, because Han Pu was flattering the emperor.

"It is not a one-day contribution to regaining the Western Regions. If you want to take over the Western Regions, you cannot do without the help of General Han."

Li Dingguo simply pointed directly: "If you want to go to the Western Regions, Dunhuang cannot avoid it. I wonder how the situation in Dunhuang is now."

"Hey, Your Highness King Jin doesn't know anything, the Dunhuang incident is hard to describe."

It would be fine if you didn’t mention Dunhuang, but when you mentioned Dunhuang Han Pu’s eyebrows were twisted.

"Dunhuang is logically a place of sinicization, and we also want to regain Dunhuang, so we sent troops to attack more than once. However, Dunhuang has special geographical conditions, and every time we attack, we return without success."

"Why is this? Isn't Dunhuang built on an oasis?"

"It is precisely because Dunhuang is built on an oasis that it will be very difficult to attack from the outside."

Han Pu swallowed and said, "And the fresh water we bring is limited every time. As long as we can't fight quickly, we will definitely be dragged and have to evacuate."

Li Dingguo nodded when he heard this.

I have to say that this makes sense.

Tamsui is the most necessary resource in desert areas, and the competition is extremely fierce.

"Is the freshwater in Jiayuguan enough?"

"To be honest, it was enough, but after the army arrived, it became tighter. There are two main freshwater resources here. One is to drill wells to get water, and the other is to fetch water from nearby rivers."

Han Pu talked eroticly.

"Why not directly drain the water channel?"

Li Dingguo regretted it as soon as he said it.

After all, how could Han Pu not do this if he could?

Sure enough, Han Pu sighed and said, "There is no way, the cost of opening a drainage channel is too high. Not to mention that it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, even if it is really connected, it is likely to be intercepted or exhausted."

"Intercept? There is such a thing? How dare you!"

Li Dingguo couldn't help but be furious.

"Who is so bold?"

"Nature is the bandits of this generation."

"It's a horse thief again!"

Li Dingguo slapped the table and said angrily.

"What, Your Highness King Jin has encountered a horse thief before?"

"That's not."

Li Dingguo paused and said, "But when he was in Wuwei, he heard that the local area was trapped by bandits, so he sent troops to suppress and defeat several villages."

"I see."

Han Pu sighed, "This is normal. There is a saying that poor mountains and rivers are unlucky. At the beginning, this sentence will not be believed and thought it was biased. But after real contact, I found that it really makes sense. If a person is not full, he will definitely take risks to do some dangerous things, such as falling into a bandit."

"Well, so I want to build Hexi and the Western Regions into a paradise where you don't pick up your own houses at night."

Li Dingguo clenched his fists and said, "I also hope General Han can help me."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, King of Jin, will definitely help you with your own efforts."

…

…

No words all night.

The next morning, Li Dingguo went to the martial arts venue for inspection.

After a night of rest, Li Dingguo's energy was well restored, and he was the omnipotent Li Dingguo again.

"Your Highness King Jin, let me introduce it in the future. There are two martial arts training grounds in Jiayuguan. You are now in a large martial arts training ground."

"Oh, call the soldiers to gather together. I have a few words to say."

"Get orders!"

Soon the soldiers from Jiayuguan gathered together.

Everyone was looking forward to seeing what His Highness King Jin would do.

Li Dingguo carried his hands and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, I led my troops to fight the West by the emperor's order. The regaining of the Western Regions is my greatest goal. This depends on you to do your best. Don't worry, as long as you can take over the Western Regions, you will be the heroes of the Ming Dynasty. You will all be rewarded by the court and your names will be recorded in history."

I have to say that Li Dingguo is very good at delivering speeches, and this round of speeches is very excited.

Everyone wanted to take a knife and kill the enemy now.

"His Highness of the King of Jin is mighty, His Majesty the Emperor is wise, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

Amid the cheers and excitement, Li Dingguoqiang calmed himself down.

"Don't worry, the court will not bury any meritorious soldiers. Even if you sacrifice your life for the country, your family will also receive pensions and support. You are the pride of the Ming Dynasty!"

Han Pu was so intoxicated by the side.

His Highness King Jin is really wise.

No wonder he is a dignified prince, but he is just a general in the town.

He also needs to learn a little, after all, being able to do is one thing, and being able to make others willingly work for you is another thing.

Those who are good at governing can improve a lot, and it will not be impossible to be named a marquis in the future.

After all, it is much easier to get titles from the Ming Dynasty now.

As long as you are willing to make contributions, it depends on the emperor's intention.

When Zi is the wise and powerful master today, he will definitely have clear rewards and punishments.

Nowadays, princes, princes, and dukes are rare, but marquis and earls can still fight for it.

Hanp suddenly felt passion.
