Although we should take the initiative to speed up the arrival of the decisive battle, it does not mean that we should start to act recklessly.
Di Xin had no doubt that if he dared to abandon all plans and make a bold move, then those realm masters who were hiding somewhere would not mind sending him away in advance.
Even if he didn't think about it, Di Xin would not do this kind of digging his own grave.
Turning a blind eye to Sparta's golden eyes in the full moon, Di Xin quickly looked back.
In the upper right corner of the desk, in the inkstone, is the ink that Laifu had polished before he took a break. The ink was ground with a fine ink stone and it has not dried up even after several hours.
If you smell it carefully, you can also smell the faint fragrance of ink.
Di Xin spread out a piece of rice paper, picked up a brush and dipped it in some ink, and then began to write and draw on it.
If you write something that doesn't go smoothly, crumple the rice paper into a ball, throw it into the wastepaper basket next to your desk, and then spread out a new piece of rice paper.
Soon, the waste paper that was crumpled into a ball filled the waste paper basket, and soon overflowed.
It was not until dawn that Di Xin finally stopped writing, and the rice paper spread on the desk was already full of pen and ink.
…
An hour after breakfast.
An Junshan, Ouyang Xuan, Xizi, Shen Qianhua, and Zeng Hongshen all came to Di Xin's study after receiving the news.
Di Xin motioned for everyone to sit down: "Everyone, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Laifu has prepared chairs in advance, so everyone has a seat.
When everyone was sitting down, Di Xin looked around.
The few people in the study now are the most powerful people in Yanque Pass, except for the inspectors from the Sentencing and Investigation Department.
In addition to punishing and supervising officials, the Inspectorate will always be aloof unless it is a life-or-death moment at Yanque Pass.
In other words, the few people in the study now have the rights of the military, government and civilians in Yanque Pass, including all the territories within its jurisdiction.
If they agree, then as long as the Provincial Envoys who are only responsible to the royal family are removed in the shortest possible time, then Emperor Xin can make the northern border areas independent.
Of course Di Xin would not do this, nor would he call them here for this reason.
If he wants to obtain the throne of Dali as an orthodox royal family, he cannot take the initiative to leave Dali.
Moreover, with the protection of Dali's name, the forces around other border gates of Dali would not dare to easily take a long way to attack him.
However, those forces did not dare to attack, but it did not mean that Di Xin could not attack.
After asking Laifu to pass the drawings he had written before breakfast to everyone, Di Xin asked: "Master Shen, how is the construction of the second city on the grassland going?"
Two thousand years in the prehistoric world have passed in the ancient moon world for several months.
Shen Qianhua replied: "Your Highness, with the experience of building the first city, the people in the Construction Department have been building the second city much faster."
"According to the latest news, it will be basically completed in less than two months. Some of the remaining infrastructure can be carried out simultaneously with the relocation process."
"Very good. Could you please Master Shen to keep an eye on it?"
Emperor Xin nodded slightly.
Shen Qianhua slightly cupped his hands and said, "It's my humble duty.
Di Xin asked another person: "Mr. An, when the construction of the second city on the grassland is completed, how many troops can we mobilize besides the troops stationed everywhere?"
An Junshan had already read the blueprint of God Xin's plan. While shocked by Wang Yu's courage, he passed it on to Ouyang Xuan.
Then he replied: "Your Highness, after the construction of the second city is completed, the two cities will be at an angle to each other, so that the permanent force in Yanque Pass can be reduced accordingly."
"In addition to the 10,000 troops that the imperial court promised to expand, in addition to the troops that need to be stationed in various places to guard, we have 30,000 troops that can be mobilized at any time."
Thirty thousand troops?
Di Xin secretly thought that if it was more extreme, he could deploy all three cavalry groups: the Flying Tiger Army, the Flying Leopard Army and the Flying Wolf Army.
But in fact this is not possible.
During a war, it is not possible to blindly defend the city. Whether it is to reduce the pressure for side attacks or to seek help from other places, it is necessary to leave some more mobile cavalry behind.
Moreover, all of them are cavalry. Although they are highly mobile, they cannot carry much supplies. Once they leave the jurisdiction, they must fight to support the war.
And even if a place is conquered, it cannot be managed.
Di Xin has not forgotten that in the history of Blue Star, there was once a nation on horseback. With the help of cavalry, they even captured one third of Blue Star's territory and established a superpower.
However, due to the shortage of manpower and the dissatisfaction of the people in various places due to the cavalry's way of supporting war, once the cavalry of that nation left, the flag of rebellion was raised in the place where they were just defeated.
With lessons learned from the past, Di Xin would certainly not make such a mistake.
After everyone circulated the drawings, Di Xin said: "Everyone has read the plan. Do you have any objections?"
An Junshan slapped the table hard, startling everyone, and was the first to speak: "Goguryeo, Ryukyu and other barbarians have invaded our borders for many years. It's time to pay the price. I humbly agree to your highness's plan."
That's right, since before the death of the old emperor, it was difficult for the battle for the throne of Dali to come to an end, and the power could not develop inward, the only option was to expand outward.
As a prince and a general who controls the pass, Di Xin holds the power of the military, government and people in Northern Xinjiang in one hand, and Di Xin has the right to take the initiative to fight.
The premise is that you can afford the price.
Of course Di Xin can afford the price.
With the Turks being exterminated, peace at Yanque Pass was restored almost permanently. In the past year and a half, there was an almost endless flow of caravans coming to Yanque Pass after hearing the news, which brought a lot of tax revenue to Yanque Pass.
At the same time, due to the sealing of a lot of land and the Shuibo River God, the soil in the northern Xinjiang has become extremely fertile, and the water source has also been greatly increased. In the past year, the food supply has almost tripled.
Although a lot of materials were consumed in the process of building the city, today's Yanque Pass can still support an expedition of 30,000 soldiers.
And it is far from being a militancy.
Zeng Hongshen didn't say anything. Although he used to be the leader of an insurrectionary army, he was now just the steward of the general's palace.
Although Di Xin did not shy away from anything, he almost never expressed any opinions unless it involved King Yu himself.
Di Xin also knew this, so he turned his attention to others.
As a military general, Ouyang Xuan naturally had no objection to this kind of making achievements and opening up territories.
But Xizi and Shen Qianhua put forward different opinions.
