The news that was sent back was not very satisfactory. Although there were many people in the Mots who were friendly to the Northwest, most of the powerful nobles who held military power were conservative nobles supported by Luo Bei people. They were not very friendly to the Tanghe people, but they were also jealous of the huge wealth brought by the Tanghe people. They still wanted to go back to the Luo Bei people who were the leader of the Dongtengeli Grassland a few years ago, when Luo Bei people were the leader of the Dongtengri Grassland, they used their own force to seize the wealth of the Northwest. The booming economy in the past few years made them salivate.

Luo Beiren's instigation made the two sides hit it off immediately, and Guershili, who tended to live in harmony with the northwest, became the thorn in Luo Beiren's side. Guerdan, who had always colluded with the conservative military aristocrats, naturally became the spokesperson for Luo Beiren and Mott's conservative aristocrats, and a coup was inevitable. However, given that the pro-northwest nobles still had considerable influence, Guerdan did not dare to execute his father after the coup, but just imprisoned him and forbid him to contact the outside world. Anyway, he was old enough, and maybe two years of death was the best way to die. Of course, as his biggest competitor, Guersufu, although he was the same brother, he did not want to let it go. It was just a coincidence that Guersufu escaped to the northwest, which also gave the northwest the best excuse to interfere in the internal affairs of the Motts.

According to the information sent back, Luo Beiren seemed to have reached an agreement with the Motes. The Motes showed signs of giving up their territory and retreating westward, which made Ling Tian worry and a little unsure. Could it be that the Motes really planned to give up their land that had lived for hundreds of years and avoid the attack of their own army? Those Mote nobles would also agree with this way to quench their thirst? Doesn’t Guerdan know that this practice may lead to the collapse of his regime?

But now is not the time to consider the other party. If the Mot and Luo Bei retreat westward, their army can naturally move in, but the supply line will be long at once. On the vast Tenggeri grassland, their logistics supply will face severe challenges. Not only will the logistics bear considerable transportation pressure, but they will also be attacked by the cavalry of the Mot and Luo Bei people who come and go as wind. In this way, the army will advance westward.

The risks are much greater. More importantly, even if one of his troops occupied the Mot territory, they could not eliminate the main Mot army that avoided fighting, and one of his troops could not be stationed in this vast grassland for a long time. The Eastern Front is the main goal of the Northwest. Such an ending can only be a waste of money and return without success. Ling Tianfang was unwilling to see such an ending, but when he asked the coach this question, the other party did not seem to pay much attention.

After reviewing the army, Wufeng, who was on his way back, saw the new chief staff officer of the Military Affairs Office who had to speak a few times, looked worried. He understood the other party's thoughts. The neat and crisp sound of horse hooves of the guards seemed particularly loud on the street. Sitting in a comfortable carriage, Wufeng closed his eyes silently, as if thinking about something. Except for the sound of wind passing through the gaps in the carriage, it seemed very quiet.

"Sir, my subordinates still have to revisit the old talk. According to the current situation, my subordinates think that it is not appropriate for our army to advance westward with all their might. Our logistics line will be greatly threatened, especially as the deeper we go into the grassland, the greater the danger we are." Finally, he couldn't bear it, and Ling Tianfang still put forward his own opinion. Although he knew that this might not be in line with the idea of ​​the Jiedushi, as the chief staff officer of the Military Affairs Office, he must attach importance to the performance of his duties.

"Well, Tian Fang, didn't you say it yesterday? I understand." Wu Feng glanced at the other party lightly.

"But sir, you don't seem to change the plan." Ling Tianfang didn't want to give up, "I think your plan is worth discussing."

"Tianfang, I understand what you mean, but this time I have made up my mind to completely solve the Mott problem. I don't want my rear to be threatened by these guys anymore. If the Mott problem is not solved, they can collude with Luobei and the Sithro people at any time to cause trouble for us. It will restrain too much of our energy and will not be conducive to our next plan." Wu Feng replied decisively, "Even if we pay some price or spend more time, I think it is worth it."

"But sir, the situation is different!" Ling Tianfang could no longer hold it back, his dark face turned slightly red, and his voice became louder: "Our logistics supply line will face the most severe challenge in history. How can we prevent harassment and raids from the nomadic cavalry coming and going on the logistics line for hundreds of miles deep into the grassland? Also, if the enemy retreats blindly and does not make head-on contact with our army, how will we deal with it? Should we stay on the grassland for a long time or retreat back to the northwest in shame? If it is the former, our logistics will not last long, and if it is the latter, then there is no need for us to fight this battle!"

Faced with the other party's fierce attitude, Wufeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He knew that his plan would not be so easy to be recognized by the other party, but he did not expect that the other party's attitude would be so tough that he actually argued with him in the carriage.

"Tianfang, do you think the main issue of our westward plan this time is logistics supply?" Wu Feng did not directly answer the other party's question and asked the other party.

"Of course, logistics problems are the primary and the most difficult problem to solve. If we want to smoothly transport logistics materials on the Tengger Grassland, we cannot deal with it without strong mobile combat power, and even if we have this power, we will be exhausted. Another problem is that once the other party takes the form of a gamble and refuses to engage in a large-scale decisive battle with us, we will fall into the quagmire of long-term combat. Once the situation on the eastern front changes, we will no longer have the strength to invest and will only lose the opportunity for the fight in vain!"

"What did you mean to oppose our trip to Tengger that day?" Wu Feng pointed out, expressing his agreement with the other party's opinion, but did not say much, but just asked a brief question.

"No, my subordinates do not oppose teaching the Mots a lesson, but my subordinates feel that it would be more than worth the gains to delay our fighter planes on the Eastern Front because of the Mots. My subordinates' idea is that it is better to support Guersufu, who is now controlled by us, and use the imperial notice that the news media has already promoted the sensational period of last time, formally establish Guersufu's position as Mots chief. Through our influence within Mots, we will win over some of the Mots who are inclined to serve. Using these people to reorganize a new Mots army, we can provide them with weapons, materials and funds, and can also help them train and train. We can even provide certain military support, but they must be the main and we are the auxiliary. In this way, we can avoid large-scale intervention in the Tenggeri war, retain a large amount of mobile military power to invest in the Eastern Front at any time, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?" Ling Tianfang finally put forward his thoughtful opinions.

After listening to Ling Tianfang's suggestion, Wu Feng was slightly moved. He did not expect Ling Tianfang to propose such a compromise plan. To be honest, he was also a little worried about the logistics supply problem after entering the Tenggeri grassland. The situation on the Eastern Front also touched his nerves, but he always believed that if he did not solve the Mot problem that was close to him, the northwest would definitely be difficult to be stable. Ling Tianfang's suggestions were desirable, but they seemed too weak and were afraid that it would be difficult to solve the fundamental problem.

"Tianfang, the Conservative Noble who is inclined to Luobei now holds great power, and has the support of Luobei and Xisluo people. How many people do you think can join Guer Sufu, who has no foundation at this time?" Wufeng did not directly refute the other party, but just asked a question and pointed it directly at the other party's key point.

Ling Tianfang was obviously confident and responded calmly: "The true support of the Mots is actually the Luobei family. The Sisro people can ignore it at all. They cannot provide much support for their former enemies. As for the Luobei people, they were still bleeding in front of the adults during their heyday. Now, can they be reborn? Hehe, I'm afraid that the Mots may not have much confidence in them, especially those Mots who are related to our interests. As long as we can take measures to drag this war down, they will not last long for the current strength of the Imots, especially in early spring, with green and yellow grass being the ones that livestock.

It is difficult to maintain. At this time of year, we have to slaughter a large number of animals to overcome difficulties. Now wars are constantly happening, and the Mots do not have any storage of forage at all. They probably have no sense of strategic reserves at all. It is a joke to want to accomplish things by impulse alone! How can ordinary Mots survive in the foundation of those regimes? If this problem is not solved, the Mots under Guerdan will only be able to fall apart even if they can get the support of Luo Beiren. No one who is close to Luo Beiren can watch their people starve to death. At that time, there is no need for us to spend anything else, so they will naturally kneel in front of us."
