The birth point chosen by Tian Shen is Tianqian City.
Because of the danger of Tubo, only about a hundred new players choose this place.
When Tian Shen entered the game, the person who greeted them as new players turned out to be Qin Chuan himself.
There is nothing we can do about it. Tuyuhun is really short of people!
You must know that the entire Tuyuhun area is quite large. From an area perspective, it is about the same size as Longyou East Road.
There are a thousand players scattered here, and not even a single wave can splash.
Nowadays, everything is in need of improvement, and what Qinchuan lacks most is manpower.
New players like Tian Shen just entered the game and were immediately pulled into work.
In the huge Tuyuhun area, King Jianning did not have high requirements for Qinchuan. He only needed to establish Jisi rule.
The so-called Jisi means that there is no need to establish a strong grassroots organization like Longyou.
But as long as these areas can be brought under management, rebellions will not occur in peacetime, and supplies can be maintained during wars.
As soon as Tian Shen entered the game, he was pulled into a working group.
"What, establishing a farmers' cooperative?" Tian Shen, a rookie player, became one of the committee members to promote cooperatives before he had figured out how to operate the game.
Looking at the information on hand, Tian Shen was a little dumbfounded.
Unlike the gradual reforms in the Longyou area, Qinchuan seemed dissatisfied with only carrying out Jisi rule in Tuyuhun.
The information in Tian Shen's hand was the pilot information on the red giant's establishment of agricultural cooperatives in the Far East.
When many people talk about the Red Giant, they criticize its agricultural policies.
In fact, the land that is really suitable for farming in the Red Giant is concentrated in the south. Many historical keyboard warriors only see the famines that the Red Giant once had, but they do not see its food blockade in other countries during that era.
A backward agricultural country was able to stabilize agricultural production during the blockade, and finally achieved food self-sufficiency in the Far East.
Food from the South can even be exported to generate foreign exchange, which is no small miracle.
The biggest way to make the Red Giant's Far East self-sufficient in agriculture is actually agricultural cooperatives.
The Far East is bitterly cold, and much of the land is frozen soil that does not melt all year round.
Living conditions are even worse than those on the Tuyuhun Plateau.
The Red Giant built cities one after another in the Far East, and also established cooperatives around these cities, achieving self-sufficiency in food rations for the urban and rural population in the Far East.
This group was led by Yuantong himself. He had a shiny bald head but not much smile on his face.
The Tang Dynasty occupied Tuyuhun and inherited a huge mess.
The Tubo people's brutal expropriation made it almost impossible for all classes in Tuyuhun to survive.
Even Tubo's own grassroots warriors like Ba Wu had been exploited and bankrupted.
The only thing that made Yuantong happy was that Tubo lost 50,000 people in the Battle of Hexi, which reduced Tuyuhun's food burden.
But the more troublesome thing now is how to let the people in the Tuyuhun area survive the winter.
A large amount of food was sent to the front line, and the cellars of many manor owners were empty.
How to let the people of Tuyuhun survive this winter is what Yuantong calls a "passing test" to test the players of Tuyuhun.
Tian Shen, who had just entered the game, was assigned the task of studying summer grain planting because he was a student at the College of Agriculture.
Tian Shen looked confused. Although he was a student at the College of Agriculture, his major was food safety!
Fortunately, the college had several general courses on agriculture, so Tian Shen had to go into the school library to look for food crops suitable for planting in the Tuyuhun area.
The injection of new players has added fuel to Longyou's development engine, and now the entire Longyou is developing rapidly.
Compared with the prosperity of Longyou, the summer in the Central Plains seems a bit harsh.
Guo Ziyi, who retreated to Wugong City, re-recruited the defeated troops, and after replenishing the court's military resources, he once again raised an army of 80,000.
Li Mi stayed in Wugong to help Guo Ziyi raise military resources and plan military affairs.
Guo Ziyi goes to the military camp every day to train.
At Li Mi's strong request, Li Heng withdrew the "watching envoys" sent to the army, that is, the eunuchs supervising the army, and at the same time strengthened Guo Ziyi's jurisdiction.
The Battle of Qingqu frightened Li Heng, and he immediately approved Li Mi's request and evacuated the eunuchs stationed in Wugong.
Guo Ziyi was training his troops every day. In the evening, the white-haired old general returned to his tent, took off his helmet and his forehead was covered with sweat.
In front of Li Biman, there were mountains of official documents, 80,000 troops were eating and drinking, and there were various incidents to be dealt with in the army.
The training and support of soldiers and the consumption of ordnance and supplies all fell on Li Mi.
Originally only half of his hair was white, but now Li Mi's hair is almost as white as Guo Ziyi's.
"Migong, let's rest for a while." Guo Ziyi couldn't help but said when she saw her old friend's appearance.
Li Mi put down his pen but did not take his eyes off the document. He said, "I can't rest. The imperial court may use troops against the two capitals at any time. I have to do all these things well."
Guo Ziyi sighed: "Suiyang is besieged. Now we only have one option left to attack the two capitals. If we cannot attack the two capitals before Suiyang falls, the imperial court will be passive."
Li Mi put down the document in his hand and said, "I hope Zhang Xun can stay here for a few more days."
"It's difficult. There are not many soldiers left in Suiyang. The city is in ruins. Zhang Xun's ability to hold on to this day is the result of the concerted efforts of the soldiers and the people."
The Pseudo-Yan Emperor An Qingxu also saw that the two capitals could not be defended for a long time, and had the idea of returning to his hometown in Hedong.
However, the Puppet Yan was reluctant to part with the treasures it had snatched from the two capitals, so An Qingxu ordered his general Yin Ziqi to lead an army to attack Suiyang, intending to open up a passage back to Hedong.
Suiyang was the water hub for east-west transportation in the Tang Dynasty and the land passage between the two capitals of Puppetry and Yan and Hedong.
With Suiyang in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, An Qingxu could not return to Hedong safely.
Yin Ziqi was also a famous Puppet Yan general. The main force he led were Hu people recruited by An Lushan when he was the military governor in Hedong.
These Turks, Xi and Xianbei people are barbaric and ferocious, and have always been the trump card in the hands of the puppet Yan.
Such a powerful force was blocked in Suiyang by the local unity troops led by Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun deserves to be a genius in defensive operations, but from his increasingly frequent letters asking for help, both Guo Ziyi and Li Mi could tell that Zhang Xun was about to lose his defense.
Now both sides are racing against time. If the Tang army captures the two capitals before the city of Suiyang is broken, they can trap the main force of the rebels in the pass.
If the rebels got through Suiyang, then the Tang army would only take back two cities if they conquered the two capitals. An Qingxu would have to flee back to Hedong, and the Tang Dynasty would have to spend more effort to put down the rebellion.
Even if the city of Suiyang is defeated too quickly, Fengxiang Mansion loses supplies, and the Tang army collapses, the situation will return to the state when Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu.
Guo Ziyi and Li Mi naturally understood this truth, and they were always prepared. The imperial court might order them to attack the two capitals at any time.
"Marshal! Urgent report from Fengxiang Mansion!"
"Come in!"
The soldier who delivered the order brought the urgent report from Fengxiang Mansion. After opening the letter, Guo Ziyi quickly read it. He stood up excitedly and said, "Okay! Okay!"
Li Mi saw Guo Ziyi's excitement and asked quickly: "Is there any happy event for the court?"
Guo Ziyi handed the letter to Li Mi and said: "News from Longyou! King Jianning defeated Gel Khan and intimidated the Uighurs!"
Li Mi quickly took the letter. It was a private letter written to Guo Ziyi from the Marshal's Mansion. It should be a report that Guo Ziyi wrote while staying in the capital.
The report contained detailed news about King Jianning's victory. Li Mi was filled with excitement after reading it and said three good words in succession!
In recent years, the Uighurs have not been as aggressive as the Tubos, but a rising grassland civilization still poses a huge threat to the Tang Dynasty's border defenses.
Gel Khan took advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty to personally conquer Gelulu because the Uighurs had the ambition to unify the grasslands.
If Gel Khan was really allowed to complete the Western Expedition, the Uighurs would not be so obedient.
The battle of King Jianning interrupted the upward national destiny of the Uighurs and also reduced the pressure on the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.
Guo Ziyi has been stationed in Shuofang for a long time, and he knows the urine characteristics of these grassland peoples best.
The Tang Dynasty successively supported the Turks, Tiele and Uighurs. The first two proved to be white-eyed wolves, and the Uighurs have not been very submissive in recent years.
Li Mi put down the letter and said: "Shuai Guo, I think the imperial court is about to send troops to recapture the two capitals. We need to prepare early."
Guo Ziyi asked doubtfully: "It's hot in the summer, and now is not the time to use troops. I have also written to the court many times, hoping to attack the city again around the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Li Mi sighed and said: "Shuai Guo, you are talking about military considerations, but the imperial court's considerations are not just military."
Speaking of this, Guo Ziyi also fell silent.
He is not an ordinary general who is ignorant of political affairs. Guo Ziyi also has a very accurate grasp of the overall situation of the court.
But as a frontline general, he still hopes that the court can give more consideration to the army.
After Li Mi reminded her, Guo Ziyi quickly understood the stakes involved.
"You mean Donggong?"
Li Mi nodded and said: "The battle for the reserve position is getting more and more intense, and now there is another Jianning dynasty. Is this a blessing or a curse for the situation in the court?"
Guo Ziyi also fell silent.
King Jianning made great achievements, but King Guangping, the prince who was the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, failed to make any achievements.
I'm afraid Dong Palace will make another move.
Guo Ziyi and Li Mi's guesses were correct, and the Tang court finally approved the Uighur Prince Yehu's request to fight.
Four thousand fine cavalry from the Uighur king's tent immediately sent out martial arts troops. After joining Guo Ziyi's army, they sent troops to the two capitals again.
The marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, Li Chu, King of Guangping, also set out for Wugong with the Uighur army.
However, this time the court made it clear that the general commanding the troops on the front line was Guo Ziyi, and Li Chu was only a representative of the emperor and the court and did not participate in specific military affairs.
The battle for the Tang Dynasty to regain the two capitals began again.
The atmosphere in Fengxiang Mansion became tense once again, and various logistical supplies were being transferred to martial arts to prepare for the decisive battle.
