The atmosphere in the study became particularly solemn, and the huge pressure made the three of them feel deeply that the chess was shrunk, especially Wufeng's mood was even more heavy. Over the past year, the Northwest forces have expanded rapidly. Whether it is the expansion of influence among the countries in the Western Regions, the immersion of the Nanjieluoke forces, and the great victory in India and De'an some time ago, this is all natural. Not to mention the generals under his command, he even felt quite confident. Su Qin's trip to Jiangnan

There was another person who could clearly see the changes in the surrounding situation. I was probably seen by Luo Beiren and Xisluo people for a long time. The enemy's patience had to be said to be good. Finally, I waited for the opportunity to take advantage of my full strength to remove the firewood from the back. Even Wufeng himself had to admit that the other party was doing beautifully. Although this made him feel extremely embarrassed, Wufeng was still very impressed by the enemy's poisonous move.

The two were speechless for a moment. Although Wufeng's face was gloomy, he was quite calm. There was no strange color in his tiger eyes. After a while, he said: "It's not just that. I just received an urgent report. The Lin family successfully bribed Feng Qi. The entire Hanzhong Taiping Cult defender surrendered to Lin Guowei. It is estimated that the Hanzhong Prefecture City has completed the defense handover. The two divisions of the Lin family have replaced the Taiping Army to take over the Hanzhong Prefecture City, and the other division is stationed outside the Hanzhong City. The Lang family probably has made up their minds to settle the Lin family in Hanzhong Prefecture. According to the latest information, two divisions of the Lang family have been sent from Tiannan County to Bashan. I judge that this is a re-entering army to Hanzhong."

After a pause, Wufeng, who had a little depressed expression, said again: "In view of the changes in the situation on this side, I have ordered the Guards Division and the Independent Third Division to return to Qingyang immediately, and only the necessary troops to be stationed on the passes on the west and north sides of Hanzhong."

Xiao Tang, Su Qin and others exchanged surprise glances with each other, and Su Qin couldn't help asking: "Don't you want to gain a foothold in Hanzhong?"

"Now the city of Hanzhong is occupied by the Beilin family. In fact, the Lin family has gained an absolute advantage. The Lang family is increasing troops to Hanzhong again. I guess there will be no one in the Hanzhong war in less than three or five months. I don't want to trap my troops there. Besides, the situation has changed, everything needs to change due to the times." Shaking his head, Wufeng sneered faintly, and his tone was firm: "I was a little careless in the early stage. I didn't expect that Besan, the Luobei general, had some means to join forces with the Sisluo people to subvert the Mot's regime. It seems that I underestimate the heroes of the world, but it seems that God did not stand on their side. At least Guersufu's escape proves this!"

"What are your plans right now?" Xiao Tang had already noticed Wufeng's implicit meaning from Wufeng's firm eyes, and had been following Wufeng for quite some time. Whenever Wufeng showed this expression, Xiao Tang knew that this was the expression of his master's decision.

"Since Luo Beiren is unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous. Since the Sith Luoren wants to come and get into a slap, if we don't cooperate with them, they will feel that they are not friends enough!" Wu Feng paused almost word by word when he said this. Even Xiao Tang and Su Qin could clearly feel the murderous aura revealed between his teeth. It seemed that this matter was quite exciting to his master. Although he did not show any expression on the surface, he was probably thinking about how to take revenge in his bones.

"What should I do if I just go east?" Su Qin asked without pause. This is an unavoidable question and the most core issue. If the focus is placed on the west side, if there is a major change in the situation within the empire, then the northwest may be unable to interfere.

After a moment of silence, Wufeng said, "This is what I think of for you two. I originally planned to check it out first and then discuss it with you. If time is not waiting for anyone, I can no longer let me decide immediately."

As if he was considering the wording, Wufeng thought for a while, until Xiao Su and his two eyes had already passed by his face several times before he slowly said: "I decided to reorganize our northwest army."

Although the words were not loud, every word was very good. In fact, Xiao Tang had known that there would be such a day. Since the large amount of funds from India and De'an were recorded, all military officials, including his boss, were making ideas. Xiao Tang knew better than anyone else. Fortunately, he made considerable preparations in advance, so he was not surprised when Wufeng raised this matter. Su Qin also estimated that at this point, facing such a bad situation in the northwest, blindly taking the defensive situation would only make the situation in the northwest even more.

Embarrassingly, the northwest economy is weak, and the finances cannot support such a huge army at all. The only way out is to use war to support the war. On the one hand, the annexation of the surrounding wealthy areas and relying on the wealth of these areas to maintain it. On the other hand, these wars can also be used to train one's own troops. Conquering the Bazhe people has already made a good start. The huge wealth seized from Bazhe people has also laid a financial foundation for the current military expansion. It should be said that the time for military expansion is ripe.

Seeing that the two of them nodded at the same time, Wufeng was a little surprised. Su Qin had never supported the expansion of the army, but his attitude was not firm. However, Xiao Tang, the chief manager of the Northwest, had a firm position against the expansion of the army. Why didn't he even have a word of opposition today? Instead, he nodded in agreement with him? This could not help but make an exception.

Seeing that his boss's strange eyes were always on his face, Xiao Tang took the initiative to continue the conversation, "Do you think Xiao Tang's position today is a bit different from his previous one?"

"Haha, yes, I feel that your attitude today is very different from the past. Unfortunately, I have prepared a lot of words to convince you and both of them and become unnecessary, which disappoints me." Wufeng's face looked much better. After all, he was unanimously agreed by the two giants on the government without any force. He was still quite comfortable. Although he had made a lot of preparations, Wufeng was also confident of convincing the two of them. This ending was even more satisfactory.

"Sir, Xiao Tang and Su Qin are not ignorant of the importance. In the past, their subordinates opposed random expansion of the army and thought from the overall situation of the entire northwest. They did not look at the problem from a narrow personal perspective as some people said. At present, the financial situation in the northwest and northern Luzon has improved greatly. Moreover, Lu Long, Longdong and Xikang have been included in the rule of the adults. I have made Lord Mifengmi, and Mr. Zhong Wenjing, temporarily assumed the administrative work of Lu Long and Xikang, and I will also let Liang Chongxin temporarily carry out military control according to your requirements, and asked them to follow the policies of the northwest to regulate the economic and commercial activities of the three prefectures. Due to the economics of these three prefectures, the economy of these three prefectures is

The foundation is much better than our northwest, especially Lulong and Longdong. Now our foundation is much better than the previous year and last year. Although it is not rich, it has laid a certain foundation for the expansion of the army. In addition, the economic income from the people who block the army can greatly make up for the existing shortcomings. Although this is not a long-term solution, at least it has eliminated the financial hole for us now and is enough to support our expansion of the army. The situation is changing drastically. If there is no strong army as a guarantee, everything we have worked hard to establish will be greatly threatened. Therefore, my subordinates believe that the time for expansion is ripe, and we firmly support the expansion of the army!" Xiao Tang calmly answered his boss's question.

"Yes, sir, my subordinates' views are the same as Brother Xiao. Now is indeed a good time to expand the army. Brother Xiao had previously notified Lord Lao to make some preparations in advance. However, due to time constraints, it may not be able to fully meet the needs of the adults. It depends on the scale and plan of the adults' expansion." Su Qin also continued.

His words are also true. As soon as Xiao Tang got the gold and jewelry that blocked people, the first step was to arrange the combat readiness to purchase horses from the nomadic peoples on the Tengri Grassland. Not only the Mots and Luobei people, but also the quarantine officers went deep into the territory of the Tengri people and the Tubu people to purchase. Rao even entrusts transit merchants to purchase at high prices from the Chidi people on the Tengri Grassland. At the same time, they also ordered large quantities of weapons, armor, vehicles, medicinal materials and other logistics supplies suppliers of Yinchuan, Qingyang, Jinzhou, and Vito, and directly delivered a considerable amount of deposit in advance. This unprecedented

Some actions directly stimulated the sensitive nerves of merchants and workshop owners. Many people used this deposit to expand production scale and recruit workers, which also caused the upgrading and expansion of a series of industries involving military aspects. On the other hand, Xiao Tang also realized the urgency of time. Without waiting for Wufeng's consent, he decided to invest a considerable amount of funds to the Shuangdui Autonomous Government to expand the development of iron mines in the north of Shuangdui and build a new iron smelting factory in Shuangdui. Lu Man was overjoyed and did not understand why this boss, who had always been foolish, became so kind.

The admiring eyes turned around the faces of the two people. Wufeng could finally express his military expansion plan with confidence and boldness. This was also the plan that he had been thinking about for a long time but had not made the final decision. But at this time he still made a resolute decision. Perhaps this plan was too large, but rather than taking half a step, it would be better to be in one step. It would be better to have short pain than long pain. This would be more conducive to the future development of his own army. Fortunately, the funds obtained from the people who blocked him are quite abundant, enough to support him for a while, otherwise Wufeng would not dare to have such crazy ideas no matter what.
