By September, the ranks of generals, lieutenant generals and major generals at all levels across the country had basically been awarded. Liu Lang, who was rejected twice by the military headquarters, had no hope of being promoted to major general.

The old warlord Liu Wei, naturally knew very well that it was not that the military headquarters did not give him the face of Governor Qiu Tong, but that the king was unwilling to firmly control the power of Qiu Tongzhou, while also putting Liu Lang, the Liu family to a high position. A major general who could command a brigade and an army colonel who could only lead a regiment were naturally incomparable.

However, Liu Wei, who had not fallen after ten years of civil war in Qiu Tongzhou, was naturally not an honest child who could be kneaded. His plan to promote Liu Lang to consolidate his rights was failed, so he changed his way. A telegram to form the Beiqiu Tongzhou Security Regiment was sent directly to the King's Military Headquarters by the Seventh Route Army Command.

The military leaders who have already refuted General Liu's face several times naturally have to give him a face this time, not to mention that General Liu's reason is very confusing. They are planning to "suppress the thieves" to help the king solve their problems, and to long-term stability of the country. Anyway, they have absolutely no selfishness.

This is not the nonsense of General Liu, who presided over the great cause of "suppressing the thieves" in Qiu Tongzhou, but the fact that the current situation in Qiu Tongzhou is indeed the case.

It was not the main force of the central army of the Principal State Army that threatened the safety of Qiu Tongzhou, but the Fourth Army of the Principal State Army, whose strength was stronger than that of the central army of the Principal State Army.

The main force of this Principal Army with a population of up to 60,000 has had countless dealings with Liu Wei in Qiu Tongzhou in recent years. Liu Wei was beaten up almost every time without any victory.

Jia Hushi's troops, who were originally in Tongzhou, had a deep foundation in Beiqiu, were beaten by the Fourth Army of the Principal Army and almost lost all their territory. That is, the important passage at the junction of the two states in Andongcheng was still firmly in the hands of Qiu Tong's army because of the existence of the powerful independent regiment.

In August, the six armies organized by Liu Wei were defeated and returned. Liu Lang's Independent Regiment needed to station in the base of Andongcheng to ensure the safety of the oil field 200 miles away. The Duchy Army's troops were in full swing. In March, the Fourth Army of the Duchy's Army, with increasingly powerful troops, launched a battle. It took nearly a month to defeat Liu Wei and Jia Hushi's twelve regiments, and 9 Beiqiu Tongzhou counties all fell into the hands of the Duchy's army.

As the lord of Qiu Tongzhou, Liu Wei was indeed worried and dispatched troops to condemn the Guangke City area to prevent any oil field from being damaged, and the king also had blue veins on his forehead.

If Liu Wei hadn't promised that the Duchy's army would never allow the Duchy's army to advance again, that person would have sent the Central Army to Qiu Tongzhou long ago. Fortunately, Liu Wei was slightly relieved that the Duchy's army had been in Beiqiu Tongzhou for less than two months and headed towards the barren land to the west.

Of course, Liu Lang knew that the Fourth Army of the Principality Army was to rush to the west to join the central main principality army led by the Duchy King.

The Duchy's army entered the western plateau of Qiutongzhou. In fact, it was not only relieved for the warlords of all sizes in Qiutongzhou, but also very happy. The barren land on the western plateau did not have the ability to support tens of thousands or even more than one hundred thousand troops. As long as he locked the gate to the west, in his opinion, the remaining part of the Duchy's army would be swallowed up by the cruel natural environment there.

As a military strategist, the king may not be qualified, but as a leader of a country, his strategic vision is still somewhat. The Principal army, who was planning to use the western plateau as the principality territory, gradually expand his strength, also found that the western plateau was poor and there were no people or enough sources of soldiers, and it was not suitable to be a place for development. But they were still confused at this moment. It was not until late September that they accidentally discovered reports on the Principal army that they knew where there was a Principal territory similar to Landext, and then they decided to go north.

Of course, in order to prevent the deviation of historical ruts, Liu Lang had already made sufficient connections to "Haicheng Poster" and "Xinicheng Daily" to report the news about the Principality Army. In July and August, the Yunyanzhou Branch of the Merchant Group was responsible for pasting newspapers on the towns that the Principality Army might pass by, and even posted them on almost every wall.

No one would know that Commander Liu was using this method to inform the Principal Army of the Principality. Although Liu Lang also believed that even without those old newspapers, the Principality Army would still find its most correct direction, Liu Lang finally hoped that the army of war would have fewer casualties. They were one of the main forces in resisting the Black Hawk Imperial Army. If they had more people, the Black Hawk Imperial Army would have more casualties.

But what made Liu Wei's mind hurt was that the elite army of the Duchy Army who left Beiqiu Tongzhou and entered the west of Qiu Tongzhou actually showed signs of turning back. Just before he sent a telegram to the military headquarters, the front line had clearly indicated that the number of people reached tens of thousands of "old friends" who had occupied Beiqiu Tongzhou turned north and headed south and entered the prairie again.

"Catch back to Ancheng", the slogans they shouted made Liu Wei and the military officials even more frightened. Liu Wei, who said that he needed to establish the Beiqiu Tongzhou Security Regiment, had already ordered two brigades of the 24th Army located on the western front line to deploy defenses along the Dajinchuan line, and four brigades of the 20th Army to deploy defenses. At the same time, he gathered troops in Mingshan and other places to ensure the safety of the plains.

Whether it is the kingdom or Liu Wei, this time they are all working hard to defend the central part of Qiu Tongzhou.

Liu Wei's slightly abrupt but reasonable new Beiqiu Tongzhou Defense Regiment was naturally nothing. Beiqiu Tongzhou, which had just been taken back, had not had time to stabilize the hearts of the people, also needed a warable army to defend and appease. Although Liu Wei's ruthless new army in Beiqiu Tongzhou was so angry that he showed his territorial snatch.

They are all old foxes who have been in the army for a long time. Who can’t see through General Liu’s thoughts? But, even if you know, what can you do? You have already refuted General Liu’s face twice, and this time you must criticize him.

As for the veteran warlord Jia Hushi, who has always been entrenched in Tongzhou, Beiqiu, the military department naturally ignored it. Who would care about those who could not even keep their own nests?

A Beiqiu Tongzhou Regional Security Corps with an organization of up to 3,000 people under the command of the Seventh Route Army was born. However, the regiment provided the organization but did not give any military ordnance and military pay personnel, and all the materials were borne by Liu Wei's Qiu Tongzhou Government.

To put it bluntly, the kingdom recognizes the existence of this army, but you don’t want to use this to get money from the treasury. If you want to increase your strength, you have to pay your capital. Besides, the mice in the treasury are almost starving to death.

The kingdoms and local warlords of this era are not so much soldiers as merchants, and they have to bargain in everything they do based on their own interests. You are guarding against me, and I am also guarding against you. Anyway, everyone is guarding against each other to live a life.

This is probably an important reason why the Kingdom and the Black Hawk Empire Army fought for more than ten years.

However, if it is an iron kingdom, it may be unknown whether the Black Hawk Empire Army has the courage to launch a full-scale war with the kingdom.

On the morning of the second day of September, Liu Lang received a telegram ordering him to come to Ancheng to discuss military affairs.
