Yes! It is precisely because I feel that the northwest border is already peaceful, so if anyone guarding the northwest is the same, why do you have to have a Duke Ding who is like a tiger and is always watching?

Therefore, Emperor Hongxu was about to prepare to play the hidden bow.

Xie Xuan listened, smiled slightly, "Continue."

Xie Yan quietly sat upright, looking at Qi Shen's eyes with deep thoughts.

"The people in this capital are covered by the superficial prosperity. How do you know that from ancient times to the present, the nomadic peoples outside the pass are most jealous of the abundant resources in our heartland of the Central Plains. They have engraved ambitions of occupation in their bones, and how could they suddenly stop? Even if they were afraid of being beaten by Duke Ding, it has been so many years since our Central Plains. Don't you have a saying, "Do you forget to hurt after your scars are healed?"

Besides, there was another unpleasant saying, Qi Shen did not say in front of Xie Yan and Xie Xuan, that is, Duke Ding would sooner or later grow old, or even die, how could he make the Tartars always afraid?

Although Qi Shen did not say this clearly, Xie Yan and Xie Xuan were both wise, so how could they not understand it?

"It is only a matter of time before the Tartars attacked again. Moreover, the coup of the Tartar royal court last year, and the Khan Khaliltai killed his brother and seized the throne, and then suppressed all tribes on the grassland with his iron-blooded skills. Now the Tartar tribes are following his leader. It can be said that in recent decades, the time when the Tartars are most united. If I were Nah Rilttai, I would not take advantage of this person to act, I would be sorry for my previous actions."

"Sure enough, since he succeeded Khan, he pressed the noise of the various divisions of the grassland, and began to talk about it all the time. In the past year, he sent a team of cavalry to harass the people of the border villages seventeen times. They all left once they robbed things and did not cause any major casualties. However, from this year, every time they robbed, they killed all the people in a village and burned the village. Last year, the attack sites were very scattered, and seemed to be a little unrecognizable. Those places were all covered by the jurisdiction of the garrisons in our northwest defense line, but if these harassments were regarded as a test of our northwest garrison, it would be explained. If Heritage really wanted to drive his troops south, then he would have to

However, if we want to test the military situation of the Northwest Army, the deployment of troops, responses to the various garrisons, and even who leads the troops, how to fight, etc., he naturally wants to leave it alone. However, this year's surprise attack is completely different, which only shows that their purpose is different from last year. Compared with temptations, what they want more is to infuriate. After almost the test, it should be found an opportunity to verify that the results of these temptations are useful or not, and actual combat is the best way to train troops. It is indeed as they wish. So far, the defenders in the front have fought four contact battles with them. Although the outcome is not clear, they have a very particular point in their battlefield..."

As Qi Shen said, he had already dipped his fingers in tea and painted it on the table. His eyes, as deep as eagles and falcons, are now dyed by excitement, and they look more and more bright and bright, as bright as stars in the sky.

"Brother Chongnian, please see here... here... north of the desert, south of Ningguan, north of Ganzhou, east of Yulin Weidong... After seeing these, what plan is Heliertai making, it is obvious, right?"

If this deduction was placed on the general of the two brothers, or even the Northwest Army, Xie Yan might sigh that he was keen and meticulous, but he would not be so surprised. However, when this person became a person like Qi Shen, who has been in the capital since childhood, has never been to the northwest, and has never really been to the battlefield, Xie Yan had to be surprised and suspicious. If this person was not working too hard, it was because of his extraordinary talent and natural sensitivity to war. No matter which one, he was a talent. If both were both, then...

"It seems that Lord Qi has not read many military newspapers from all over the world on weekdays." Of course, even if Xie Xuan is not an expert, she knows that Qi Shen's current opinions cannot be obtained by just looking at the military newspaper.

Qi Shen didn't care, and smiled and said, "These military reports reported to the court are just being kept by the Ministry of War, but they can be borrowed for me and benefited a lot."

If it were military newspapers for a major war, the Ministry of War and the court would naturally pay attention to it, but if these small battles did not cause major casualties or had no major impact, no one would care. I am afraid that in this huge capital, if we know that there were several contact battles with the Tatars in the northwest border in the past two years, and even the number of cavalry harassment by the Tatars, there was only Qi Shen, and maybe there was only one person who knew that the Tatars had fought several contact battles in the northwest border in the past two years, and even how many times the Tatars were harassed by cavalry.

"I just heard Lord Qi talk about the situation in the northwest war, and it was very insightful. I wonder... If Heritage, as Lord Qi inferred, rushed south and pointed his sword at Ganzhou, Monan and Yulin, I wonder if Lord Qi had any good strategies to retreat to the enemy?" Xie Xuan asked with a glittering eyes.

Qi Shen pulled the corner of his mouth and said with regret, "Miss Seven just heard Qi's talk lively, but in fact it was just a paper talk. On the battlefield, there were ever-changing changes, and the right time, place and people's hearts were all caused by changes. How to change and how to deal with it, these must be adapted to the times and according to the circumstances. Therefore, when Miss Seven asked, Qi could not answer or answer."

Xie Xuan chuckled, "At this time, Lord Qi became more and more happy again. It was at this moment that Lord Qi seemed to remember that he had never been to the northwest before." But he was talking freely, as if everything was in his mind.

Xie Yan coughed lightly and finally inserted his mouth, "Today, I know the ability and ambition of Lu Shang. But do you know that Lu Shang's ability and ambition are so clear that the northwest is already flowing with muddy water at this time. It is still unknown what the future will be. You ask me to come to me at this time and have me say it. It is not difficult for you to enter Yulin Guard or Ganzhou Guard. But, the difficulty lies in it. From now on, some people will be subordinate to my Duke Ding Mansion. In the future... If Ding Mansion is as brave and resourceful as ever, if you are really brave and resourceful, protecting the military and civilians, and defending the country, the Duke Ding Mansion will naturally protect and support them all the way. But if, one day, the Duke Ding Mansion will suffer, it will probably drag you down. Lu Shang... Have you really thought about it?"
