"Brother Gao seems not optimistic about the adults' expedition this time?" Jin Zecheng heard some smell.

"It's not that, but now the main force in the northwest has the whole army to fight westward, and the pressure on our northward is very high. I heard that the Kamans are also making some small moves on Jiayu Pass, and the situation in Taixuan Mansion is not calm." Gao An shook his head and said calmly: "If the Kamans and the Sisluo people join forces, I'm afraid the problems we face will be more troublesome. I don't know if there will be any twists and turns in the battle of Lord Li in this Western Expedition, which will also affect the morale of the people in the entire northwest."

Jin Zecheng had already vaguely heard Gao Ang's opinion, and he also knew that there were different views within the military about this Western Expedition. First, the Chief of Staff Ling Tianfang expressed different opinions. Many generals in the military also supported Ling Tianfang's opinion, but in the end they were rejected by the Jiedushi. Gao Ang should have opposed the Western Expedition, so what about himself?

From a tactical perspective, the Northwest Army, dominated by infantry, went deep into the depths of the Tenggeri grassland to attack the Luo Beiren who lived with nomadism, should be said to be an immature manifestation. Luo Beiren has all the advantages of the land and people. Although the Northwest Army was surprisingly unexpected, the Luo Beiren's reaction was not slow, judging from the current war reports, Luo Beiren's reaction was not slow. In this way, the Northwest will face a cruel tug-of-war. Once the war is delayed, the supply in the Northwest will be a big problem. However, the time for the Northwest to send troops is very good, and it is the time when the livestock grows fat. Luo Beiren may not be willing to continue the war for too long. In that case, even if they win, they will face a desolate year.

From a strategic perspective, a battle against Luobei people is inevitable. The chaos in the Central Plains has emerged. This chaos will inevitably bring about a protracted storm that cannot be calmed down in a year or two. Lord Li has always regarded entering the Central Plains as his primary task and naturally will not give up this opportunity. However, the northwest has always lacked a stable rear. Although the Mots and the Western Regions have surrendered, the unfavorable strategic situation has never been fundamentally improved, because it is the Luobei people who can truly endanger the security of the Northwest, rather than the Mots and the Western Regions. The surrender of these two places can only say that there is a barrier in the northwest. However, the Mots have been weakened a lot because of their fighting with the Northwest. It will take some time to rebuild the Mots' armed forces. Moreover, even if the Mots' armed forces have returned to the front, they cannot stop the Luobei people's invasion. If Luobei people made up their minds to invade east.

The weakening of the strength of Luo Bei people made the strength of Luo Bei people in a state where they could not cope with the attacks between the Chi Di people and the northwest, and the Luo Bei people felt the threat of their old enemy Chi Di people at all times and had no time to consider invading the east. This is probably Lord Li's original intention, but there are many auxiliary means to cooperate here, such as culture, commerce, and supporting pro-northwest forces, etc. These are the skills that Lord Li is best at.

Jin Zecheng was in his heart to support the plan of the Jiedushi, but he was also worried that with the current strength of the Northwest, there would be great risks to pose a substantial blow to Luo Beiren. However, Lord Li had already decided, so he could not change it. He could only let the facts prove right or wrong.

The shouts of killing from waves seemed to have no impact on Jin Zecheng and Gao An. Gao An was still paying attention to the battlefield situation seriously while arranging his subordinates to take turns to fight, which has relieved the losses and pressure. Jin Zecheng observed the enemy's situation while thinking about what kind of pressure the northern defense would face if the battle of the Western Expedition was not going well. Will the Sithro people and the Kaman people take advantage of the situation to launch large-scale troops?

After receiving the letter from Wufeng's flying pigeon, Xiao Tang did not dare to be negligent. On the one hand, he issued an order to declare an emergency in the northwest. On the other hand, he immediately attracted Tuoji, who was rarely seen, and passed Wufeng's handwritten letter to her. The taciturn girl had no extra words, but nodded and took the letter and left. Soon, a pair of black and shiny birds in the backyard of the Jiedu Mansion soared into the sky, hovering in the air for two circles, as if looking for directions, spreading her wings and flying straight towards the northwest.

At the same time, Su Qin urgently summoned the diplomatic envoys of Tubu people in Qingyang, and declared the envoys of Tubu people as unpopular and ordered them to leave Qingyang within a time limit.

Even in midsummer, the wind is still strong at the foot of the green Atlas Mountains, which is extremely cool. The streams formed by the melting snow on the peaks above the snow line are rushing and jumping through the valley, forming a series of beautiful small waterfalls. A huge round gairo-topped soft leather tent looks particularly grand in the open space between the valley forests. Three steps, one stairs, five steps, one whistle, and the white-backed green-side flag fluttering in the wind in front of the tent are shaking around. A double-headed eagle with teeth and claws flying in the air, lifelike.

The atmosphere in the tent was not as gentle and charming as the scenery outside. The man with bearded bearded face was gloomy and his dark brown eyes looked particularly deep under the half-light and half-dark light in the tent. While stroking the thick long beard under the jaw, he carefully pondered the two letters on the desk.

"Second, what do you think?" After a while, the big man with a beard opened his mouth and asked, his tone full of doubts.

"Brother, isn't this obvious? Two months ago, I went to Qingyang and my party and found that Li Wufeng was preparing for war. Luo Beiren interfered in the internal affairs of the Mots and attempted to cultivate a regime that was close to Luo Beiren, which aroused Li Wufeng's strong dissatisfaction. After this report, I seized the opportunity and of course Li Wufeng had to repay him." The strong man sitting on the left was naturally the second-ranked figure in the Boyinren Doer tribe. He looked very casual and seemed not very interested in this matter.

"Oh? Just revenge on Luo Beiren? But in the secret letter, Tuoji said that Li Wufeng seemed to have mobilized a lot of troops." The big man in the curly beard was Dolmy, the chief of the Doer tribe. After receiving a letter from Li Wufeng and his sister, he immediately called his brothers to discuss.

"The Luobei people have obtained a large amount of transit tariff income in the past two years because of the opening of the business road. Their strength has recovered very quickly. It is far from being compared with when they were defeated by Li Wufeng two years ago. The head coach of the Eastern Conference was Beisang, the famous general among the Luobei people. The Northwest Army was for a long expedition. I think even if Li Wufeng came out in full swing, this battle may not be able to gain much advantage." Tuoluo shook his head disdainfully, obviously not optimistic about the Northwest.

"Well, second brother, then your opinion is-? Li Wufeng wrote a letter to ask for help." Dormy was a little moved, "We also signed a covenant with him. It seems a bit unreasonable to ignore him at this time."

"It depends on what you mean by Brother. Do you want to say that as long as Li Wufeng is willing to pay money and supplies, we should practice soldiers, engaging in activities, and harass the Kaman people. But this is a good time for our children to hunt. You might as well knock on Li Wufeng, a rich man. If Brother thinks it is not suitable, you can also take advantage of the season and refuse politely, he can't say anything. Anyway, the initiative is in our hands. In short, it depends on your thoughts." Tuoluo's speech is quite artistic, without any leakage, and does not reveal his tendency at all. He knows that his elder brother is very suspicious, and if there is any improper language, he will make mistakes.

After hesitating for a while, Dolme made up his mind and said, "Well, it seems that it is not easy to explain to Li Wufeng. What you said is right. Just be a training soldier. Our standing army has not really been on the battlefield, so let them hunt. But be careful not to work too hard. I will have a good talk with Li Wufeng." Speaking of this, Dolme couldn't help but smile on his gloomy face.

Tuoluo was overjoyed, but he did not dare to reveal it at all. This was exactly the result he hoped. He nodded casually and said, "Since my brother made such arrangements, I will go down to arrange it so that the children can go out to relax."

After returning to his tent, Tuoluo did not delay any further, and immediately called his confidant to order the other party to immediately arrive at the Sex tribe and hand over his handbook to his sworn brother Takra.

It feels so good to return to the imperial capital. Situ Tai lazily immersed his whole body in the spring water with a suitable temperature. The ease from the whole body and the soul made him feel like a dream. The faint sandalwood fragrance was faint, and the indescribable quiet and harmonious in the entire bathroom made Situ Tai feel like he didn't want to get up.

All the chores in his mind were excluded. Situ Tai pointed to relax at this time, but he didn't expect Lao Jiu to embarrass him. Did he really misjudged him? He slowly leaned his head on the soft pillow in the bathtub. Two half-naked maids had already knelt quietly on both sides of the bathtub, gently lifted Situ Tai's legs and massaged them carefully.

Impossible, absolutely impossible! No one who wants to sit in that position will be a good person. Good people have long gone to the fore. Maybe they think the time is not yet ripe, or there is a bigger conspiracy in progress. Situ Tai did not want to explore these disappointing things at this time, but his mind did not change with his will, and he unknowingly returned to the issues he cared about most.
