After the 15th day of the first lunar month, officials from the Lingzhou shogunate became busy again, mainly to prepare for all kinds of supplies needed for the army to travel.

However, it was not for Shao Shude to go to Lingzhou to prepare, but for the continued preparation of the army.

Because of years of war, the troops were short of troops, and in the second year of Ganning (895), the first part of Zhenguo Army and Feng'an Army in Xingyuan Prefecture were about to return. They could not draw out the regular yamen army to change defenses, so Shao Shude made up his mind He fought against Xu Beijun.

Before the New Year, he ordered that the Du coach ordered the Lingzhou Academy of Yamen to select 20,000 new recruits, divided into two departments, and went to the Bailaoguan of Didan and Xingyuan Prefecture to garrison, and continued to receive training at the garrison.

The army envoy Li Renfu breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news. The headquarters had a total of 30,000 people, and currently 10,000 people were stationed in Qingtang City, 10,000 people were about to return from Dedan, and 10,000 people were guarding Tongguan, which was really a draw. No one is allowed to open.

In addition, the Shaanxi Prefecture Court will also draw 10,000 more troops to Longyou Town.

Wei Zhaodu, the governor of Longyou, came to report that many Qiang tribes in Taozhou surrendered a lot. He had sent officials to Taozhou to establish yamen at all levels and asked to transfer large troops to take charge.

Shao Shude was overjoyed and ordered the Shaanxi Prefecture Court to dispatch 10,000 trained soldiers to the Taozhou Institute of Lintan County to garrison, and regained the two counties of Lintan and Meixiang.

So far, there are 11 prefectures, 34 counties, more than 107,400 households and more than 516,000 residents in Longyou Town, and everything is developing steadily.

Hexi Town currently has 2 prefectures and 7 counties, with more than 74,600 households and more than 294,400 households.

Shao Shude was quite satisfied with this population. In recent years, the number of foreign people has been continuously drawn to war eastward, and the population of Helong has no longer grown rapidly, but the number of 800,000 is still gratifying.

He did not expect to reach the crazy data of 17 million people in Gansu Province in the Qing Dynasty, but it would be enough to be happy to reach the level in the Tianbao period. After all, there would be no powerful Tubo Dynasty, and he could move to Han with confidence. The people, the people of the households, develop production.

But he would not take it lightly, and there would definitely be no fewer troops to garrison. After so many years, no matter how tense the situation in the east was, he had never relaxed the control of the Longyou prefectures and suppressed the rebellion more than once. It can be imagined that In the next few years, even if the local military equipment system of states, counties and soldiers in various places has become increasingly perfect, the garrison will still exist for a long time.

Moreover, the quality of the Longyou soldiers is indeed good. They are in a state of mixed residence between Han and Qiang. There are many Qiang people, Dangxiang people, and Tubo people in the mountains. The public security situation is average and not as rich as Lingxia. The coaches and yamen still like to go there very much. Those who recruit new recruits in Longyou can join the army, regardless of the Fan Han Dynasty, as long as they meet the standards.

Providing horses, cattle and sheep, soldiers, minerals, commercial profits, etc. This is my back, and it is the foundation that I can still rely on to make a comeback after my failure.

After the troops who had changed defense left Lingzhou, Shao Shude also prepared to set off. Taking advantage of the recent weather, he went directly to Liangzhou, inspected Hexi Town, and prepared for various matters to go north to the grassland.

It’s still the same, and the whole team follows. Don’t think it’s hard, Khan is just like this.

Zhao Yu, who is already pregnant, will stay in Lingzhou to raise her baby. Shao Shude asked Pei to lead a few newly-employed female history to stay and take care of her. These are all maids of the former Lingwu County Prince's Mansion, such as Wang, Bai, Zhuang Lang, and Geshu. Shi, Qibi, Hun, Zhe, etc.

The eldest son Shao Siwu has returned from Yinshan, and he also has a task and must follow.

Zhang Huaishen, the governor of Guiyi Army, was old, and Shao Shude invited him to take the main general of the shogunate to meet in Suzhou. He had to finalize some things in advance to ensure that there would be no changes in Shazhou.

This matter is very important, because if troops from Gaochang Uighurs are sent in the future, then the Guiyi Army, the former base will be very important.

If the cavalry travels from the Uighurs' tent, it takes more than 70 miles a day, and it takes 30 days to arrive. The risk in the middle is quite large.

This time, he set out from Gorgeous Juequan to raid the Uighur Royal Court, only 1,500 miles away. Zhang Huaiding was late all the way, and Murong Fu got lost and lost a lot of manpower. The risks in this area cannot be ignored.

I know how the Khigas people raided the Uighur royal court and set out from the Yenisei River to the three thousand-mile desert grassland.

Therefore, when fighting against the Uighurs in the future, you must go out with two groups of troops to ensure that you must kill with one blow.

As of now, Shao Shude only has one requirement for Dunhuang: stability is overwhelming.

On this tour, Tielin, Jindao, Heihun, Iron Cavalry, Flying Xiong Five Army and Guards, and more than 80,000 Yinanzhi soldiers were accompanied by guards and headed to Liangzhou in a mighty manner.

With so many well-equipped soldiers who have been through battle for a long time, they must have been very sensational and dazzling in the Helong area.

None of the chiefs of various departments, big and small, could have such a soldier.

Yes, they couldn't even bring out so many herdsmen, let alone professional warriors who had fought for many years. The people of Shuofang and Hexi towns would also experience mobilization to help transport supplies for the army to consume.

Shao Shude wanted to see if there was anyone who was blindly looking and dared to come out and challenge his authority.

He believed that it should be gone, at least in a short time. A large number of strong people were drawn to the east, and the Warriors were not leeks in the field. After cutting one after another, the growth period was very slow.

After inspecting Hexi, the grasslands in Jibei were the key points, which was really a long journey. But time was endless. Life was just a few decades, and there were too many things to do, so I could only speed up.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Shao Shude, who had left before leaving, issued the latest instructions to the three major camps in Huaizhou, Luoyang and Tangzhou.

...

Li Tangbin had not received the highest instructions from Shao Shengren/Wuzu/Zanpu/Khan, but he had already received the military newspaper from the front line.

To be honest, he was a little excited, but soon calmed down and abandoned this "boring" emotion.

In battle, you cannot be driven by disturbing emotions, as it will only make you lose your clear mind and make impulsive decisions.

Do not be arrogant and lose without being discouraged, and do not be happy and lose without being worried. This is the principle believed in by Li Tangbin.

Always use the calmest mind to issue orders that are light and light, command hundreds of thousands of troops, listen to thunder in silence, launch a cruel and fatal blow to the enemy, and win the final victory.

Human life is just a number in his eyes, and this is the concept brought to him by his early years of life.

He is cold, cruel, a little unkind, doesn't like to go to the front line to boost morale, will not get along with the soldiers, and will not be praised and loved by most generals.

He is not a good warlord and will not have much prospect in troubled times, but he is a good commander. He is appreciated by big men and handed over the trained elite soldiers and strong generals to him, and through the tiger skin of big men and

Prestige, command battles.

Now, the fighter plane seems to have appeared, but the enemy will definitely not give up. He wants to see how Pang Shigu responds to it.

In addition, whether the battle situation in Caizhou on the southern front can be further broken through or the opportunity to lose, everything has not finally settled.

"Transfer an order to increase troops to Zhe Zongben. Ten thousand people from the Taomin Qiang family immediately set off their camp and went to Caizhou to obey the order." Li Tangbin said as he played with the empty tea bowl in his hand.

There are already many foreign people on the Zhezong's side. If you transfer another 10,000 yuan, Zhezong should have known how to do it.

According to the information obtained, Zhu Quanzhong had completely given up the defense in Xu Su area. Shucong led 20,000 people westward, which was a desperate bet.

He speculated that these soldiers received orders for mobilization from the beginning, rather than being temporarily assigned to the war situation in Caizhou. What does this mean? It means that Zhu Quanzhong is still thinking of winning in this battle and reversing the past two years in one fell swoop.

passive situation.

Even if it could invade Tangzhou and destroy Zhezong's group, it could be called a great victory, because this greatly improved the dilemma of Liang's multi-line combat. Once Tangzhen was broken, Huaixi would not be able to survive alone.

Du Hong and Zhao Kuangning will also be shaken, and the situation will be revitalized in an instant.

"Li Shuai, the situation in Caizhou is still repeated. The two armies of Xiongwei are not weak brigades, and they still need some effort." Gao Renhou signaled his personal soldiers to come and pour tea for the two of them.

Then he said: "The combat effectiveness of the Weisheng Army is still a question whether it can face the battle of Shucong's troops head-on. After finally achieving such an advantage, don't be careless."

Li Tangbin was silent for a while and said, "If the foreign troops and Qiezizhang troops were dispatched eastward to Yingzhou, repeatedly harassing and delaying, and struggling to make major casualties and block the thieves in Yingzhou, will there be a chance of victory?"

Even though he was already familiar with Li Tangbin's style, Gao Renhou was still choked.

He fought under Li Tangbin, but he had been in trouble for eight lifetimes! This man never cared about his soldiers. He only calculated the gains and losses of his interests. In his eyes, human life was lighter than a feather.

It would be better to send troops to block Shucong's family, but it was possible to "pay major casualties", but the troops attacking Caizhou City must be prepared to be completely destroyed. Of course, before the death, there was probably a mutiny.

"I want to transfer 10,000 accounts to the Hexi French people."

"Ship Li!" Gao Renhou interrupted Li Tangbin's words, and only heard him say: "For Caizhou, we should focus on attacking the heart and attacking the city as our subordinates. We should not act recklessly, but we should be smart."

"Of course I know I can surrender." Li Tangbin glanced at him and said, "But how long does it take? The fighter planes are fleeting, and I can't wait that long."

Gao Renhou sighed and said, "Li Shuai, why not let me give it a try."

Li Tangbington said, "Okay, but hurry up."

He didn't even ask what Gao Renhou would do, and he actually gave it to him with full authority.

Gao Renhou was stunned for a moment. He was waiting for Li Tangbin to ask him for advice. Why did he stop talking here?

"Li Shuai, I need three people." Gao Renhou was helpless and could only continue saying: "Zhang Jizuo, Zhang Jisun and Hu Zhen."

"As soon as possible." Li Tangbin called in person and ordered: "Send someone to quickly go to Anyi and bring Zhang Jizuo and Zhang Jisun brothers. Go to Luoyang again and invite Hu Zhen."

"As for the order." said in person.
