The Northern Line Battle, especially the two northwestern prefectures, undoubtedly gave Li Wufeng a slap in the face. When he vowed to the people of the northwestern that he would do his best to protect their lives and property, such a serious incident occurred. The brilliant results of the Northern Line Battle were immediately swept away by this blow. Although he also agreed that the Machikhans proposed by Helianbo, Wenna and others would be the biggest enemy in Western Xinjiang in the future, under such circumstances, the anger of the people reaching the peak forced the senior military and political leaders of the Western Xinjiang to make the punishment of the Kamans the top priority.

Wufeng was a little annoyed. He was paying a heavy price for his conceit and carelessness in Western Xinjiang. Originally, when the war in the north came to an end, Bo Jinchen had proposed that it was necessary to draw some troops to strengthen the defense of the direction of Jiayuguan, especially to prevent the Kamans from taking risks to retaliate against Xijiang. In the early stage, the Kamans used Jiayuguan as a breakthrough point to attack the tiger's mouth for thousands of miles to seize grain. It fully proved that their gambling nature was extraordinary, but Wufeng himself believed that Xijiang had now drawn up more than 200,000 troops to launch attacks on the three prefectures of Beiyuan and Kaman's local area, especially the more than 100,000 Rangers had disrupted the entire southern part of Kaman.

People leaned on horses and overturned plants and plants, and under this circumstance, Wufeng insisted that the Kaman people had no extra power to attack his territory. Although he also asked Jin Zecheng, who was stationed on the Taixuan line, to strengthen his vigilance, Wufeng did not adopt Bo Jinchen's opinion to transfer a Ranger regiment and an ordinary army division to strengthen the surveillance and defense outside Jiayuguan. Unexpectedly, Bo Jinchen unfortunately, but the Third Division, which lacked cavalry, was obviously unable to do anything about the raid and invasion of the Kaman cavalry. In addition to hastily paying some price to win some time for escape for the people, Jin Zecheng could only do nothing.

On the day of learning the news, a special issue was published, reporting on the various bad deeds and atrocities of the Kamans in Yinchuan and Taixuan Prefectures, and detailed the crimes of the Kamans invading the Tanghe Empire over the years, and also responded to the news as soon as possible. The public opinion in the entire Western Xinjiang region showed a one-sided trend. The news media and public opinion all asked the Xijiang Protectorate to respond hard to the Kamans' atrocities that violated humanitarianism. It was originally divided into three types

Under this situation, the military generals who were also unified their opinions, advocated first giving the Kamans a comprehensive attack on military operations as a retaliation. In addition, they contacted the Sisro and the Boyin people to send troops at the same time to strive for the maximum isolation and attack on the Kamans. The representatives of the people also held a signature appeal, demanding that the Great Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang should include the regaining of Jiayuguan on the agenda and strive to bring the once most important pass in the northern part of the empire back to their own hands in the shortest time.

The Western Xinjiang Foreign Service Agency also took emergency action, and the special envoys to the Sithro Empire and the Berin people rushed to their respective destinations in the shortest time. The battle to punish the Kaman people was imperative.

On January 18, 699, the special envoy of the Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang, Wang Liao and the Foreign Minister of the Sisro Empire, Promilos, issued a joint statement in Nuremberg, an important southern town of the Sisro Empire, announcing the joint embargo measures against the Kaman Empire. From the date of the agreement, the Sisro Empire and the Tanghe Empire, the Western Xinjiang Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang will prohibit the import of all strategic materials from the Kaman Empire. The embargoed strategic materials include food, cloth, oil, iron ore, weapons and medicines, and merchants from both places are also prohibited from going to Kaman.

The empire made all investments. However, the Sithro Empire did not declare war on the Kaman Empire like the Great Protectorate in the Western Front, which disappointed Wang Liao. But then he thought that it would be commendable that the Sithro Empire could achieve this level. After all, the Sithro Empire and the Kaman Empire have the same clan and clan. If it were not for the hasty actions of the Kaman army in the early stage that angered the Sithro people and the Great Protectorate in the Western Front, I was afraid that it would not be possible to achieve the current state.

On January 20, the great chief of the Door tribe of the Boin tribe, Dormy, told the visiting special envoy of the Western Xinjiang that he would cooperate with the military operations in the south to launch a winter offensive in the north to restrain the Kamans' forces. Of course, some financial aid and material requirements were also necessary to put forward to Western Xinjiang. The two sides basically reached an agreement on this.

But Li Wufeng is not the only one who is acting. Gomez is not idle either. The showdown between the two sides is no longer a simple military showdown. The outcome of the war is often even affected by factors outside the front battlefield.

A bloated body lying quietly in the soft cashmere chair. A glimmer that flashed from time to time in the seemingly turbid eyes also proved that the old man who had controlled the Luobei clan for decades had not become foolish because of his age. His fat nose became a little red due to long-term alcoholism, but the alcohol did not seem to affect his judgment of the current situation.

"King, the messenger of the Kaman people has been here for several days. I think we will send him back first?" The man standing in the big tent was wearing a traditional Luobei robe. The huge charcoal stove in the tent has replaced the manure pile of the past. The warm heat flow surging in the tent. The cold wind outside the tent was howling, and the warm spring tent was completely different. Even the man standing in the tent felt a little hot, and couldn't help but untie a trip on his chest. I wondered whether it was the reason for the slightest uneasiness in his heart. I was really not used to the too warm temperature in the tent. Doni felt that he always had a bad premonition.

"Doni, I heard that Li Wufeng seems to be moving more and more in the east of our expedition, which has far exceeded the agreement we signed. Is he a bit too much?" Without answering his confidant in charge of internal affairs, the old man in the chair suddenly brought the topic to the east of the expedition, which had not been mentioned for a long time.

A trembling heart, Doni's worries were finally confirmed. It seemed that the chief had a new idea. Doni sighed deeply in his heart. The clan had always had controversy over whether the Great Protectorate in the Western Xinjiang established with Li Wufeng to maintain the current status quo. The focus of the controversy was on the issue of expropriating the land close to the Mots in the east and the throne of the herdsmen. Li Wufeng's actions in the east were getting bigger and bigger, and it had far exceeded the original agreement. A large number of Tanghe merchants flocked into the demilitarized zone, and that area was lost.

With the deterrence of military power, the tribe members became increasingly disobeyed the management of their original pastors, while the influence of the Tanghe people took root and sprouted there, and they were very likely to replace them. As an official in charge of internal affairs within the tribe, Doni naturally knew the changes in the situation there, and he had also reported some of these issues to the chief. However, in the past, the chiefs had avoided making decisions on this matter with an avoidant attitude. There had never been such special mentions like today, which made Doni a little worried.

There have always been two completely different views on the attitude of Li Wufeng towards Li Wufeng. The faction led by Tu Da has always firmly opposed maintaining the current situation with Li Wufeng, believing that under the current situation, Li Wufeng's power and status on the Dongtengeli Grassland will continue to increase. The current situation of the Mot, Tubu people and Qiuer people is tomorrow's Luobei people. They advocate peace talks with the Chidi people, on the one hand, plundering south to enhance the inner strength of the tribe, and on the other hand, actively preparing for war, contacting foreign aid, and preparing to engage in a long-term war with Li Wufeng to regain the rule of Luobei people on the Dongtengeli Grassland.

The faction is dominated by conservative aristocrats. They are also addicted to the glorious historical memories of the Luobei tribe that once dominated the Dongtenggeri grassland, and are unwilling to accept reality. There are also many people who have a considerable influence on the chieftain, and they are quite powerful. The other faction is naturally led by Watt and itself, advocates goodwill with Western Xinjiang, vigorously develops economic and trade exchanges between the two sides, properly resolves the legacy of the expedition to the east, actively absorbs the advanced political, economic and cultural concepts of the Tanghe, and promotes the development of various social undertakings of the nation, so that the Luobei tribe can adapt to the continent in the era of change, and avoids declining because of lagging behind the times.

The two factions are equally strong, and the conservatives have an advantage in the army. However, as the commercial exchanges in Western Xinjiang are becoming increasingly deep into the grassland, especially the rise of the wool textile industry, the Wool River cashmere has become the well-known soft gold. The merchants of Tanghe who flocked to the grassland gradually immersed in the mainland from the outside to the inside, causing the prices of wool and cashmere to soar. As an auxiliary product for meat production, Japan suddenly replaced meat and became a money-making product, which made the pastors look at it.

The saying that the market decided everything was also popular on the grassland. The profit-making pastoral lords formed emerging forces and became a strong backing for the open party led by Watt and Doni, which made the conservative forces feel even more pressured, so that they kept asking the chieftain Li Wufeng to make a tough show, demanding the regaining of the sovereignty of the land and population in the east, rebuilding a powerful army to expropriate the eastern expropriation, and regain the rule of the Dongtengeli grassland.
