In Jiayuguan, the four major Oara tribes still quarreled fiercely during their meetings.
The three tribes all had the same idea, accusing Cambri of withdrawing his troops without any reason, and they have been urging him to send troops quickly.
Cambri, however, remained silent. When he was urged, he said: "If you don't send troops first, I promise to go with you."
Then the other party fell silent.
Kambuli has more than 50,000 troops at hand, and some of them will be left to guard Jiayuguan.
send troops?
What to bring out?
What if these guys take over Jiayuguan and block me inside the pass?
No matter what, Jiayuguan was conquered by oneself, so it is impossible to let it go. This is the foothold of Tourte's troops.
The three major tribes want to get benefits but don't want to pay the price. They are always planning to take down the Turt tribe. They can't be of the same mind at all.
The four major tribes discussed and discussed, and finally decided to wait until the next year to fight again.
However, the territory that has been gained cannot be lost. The four major tribes roughly divided the territory and sent troops to occupy it.
In total, it only covers a radius of more than 5,000 miles, and one-third of it is mountainous. When converted, it is more than 2,000 square kilometers, and the four of them have to divide it.
If Yang Xuan were here and saw them dividing the territory, he would probably think that the gangs were dividing the territory.
After dividing the territory, each tribe sent troops to settle in. According to their agreement, these lands will belong to each tribe in the future.
This large area has been completely plundered by the Ora people, and even the common people have been kidnapped and become slaves of the Ora people.
…
In Wutoubao, after the celebration banquet was held, Yang Xuan followed Chen Changqing back to the camp.
Talking about giving him three days off was all a joke. Could Yang Xuan really sneak into Guan Yunrong's room?
Rather than seeing that there is nothing to eat, it is better to go back to the camp honestly.
For this, I was ridiculed by colleagues for quite a while.
There is no such beautiful young lady to accompany me, but I have to come and accompany these stinky old men.
Following the celebration, all the generals drank to their heart's content, returned to the camp and fell asleep, and held a meeting the next day to continue discussing the dispatch of troops.
The admiral had assigned Yang Xuan, and he had no choice but to bury himself in discussing details such as the march route with them.
After a day of meetings, under the ridicule of the generals, Yang Xuan went back to Wutoubao Station.
The details of the purchase of woolen sweaters have not yet been discussed. There are more than 100,000 people in the army, and each person has a woolen sweater. This is a big deal.
According to the previous process, Chen Changqing needs to write an official document to the Ministry of War to apply, and then the Ministry of War will transfer it to the Ministry of Household Affairs, which will make the purchase.
But now that the army is on the battlefield, although Chen Changqing has sent the official documents, he has no time to wait for them to go through the process.
Winter is about to start in a few months, and the weather is freezing and freezing. How can the soldiers still have fighting ability?
Chen Changqing personally tried this woolen sweater, and the warmth-keeping effect is not very good. Coupled with the cold-proof clothing in the past, it won't have much impact this winter.
"The Admiral said that if I ask you to do this, I will definitely be able to accomplish it."
Yang Xuan scratched his head: "It's not a big problem. I can purchase this batch of wool sweaters in the name of Shengfa Company, and then allocate it directly to the soldiers. When the process reaches the Household Department, I will directly report the purchase details to the Household Department.
Just take the money."
Guan Yunrong's eyes widened: "What if the Household Department doesn't purchase from Shengfa Company?"
"Exactly, where else can other household purchases go through the Department of Commerce and Trade?" Yang Xuan said confidently: "If that's the case, your Guan family can directly sign an exclusive agent with me, specifying that this product can only be distributed by us.
For sales, if the accounts department doesn’t come to me, who else can they go to?”
"Besides, Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue has a good relationship with me and will never interfere with me."
Guan Yunrong pondered: "If this is the case, how many percent can be added to the purchase price, and the profits will be calculated on Shengfa Company. In this way, all forces will have a share of the profits, and no one will jump out to object.
.”
Yang Xuan's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's okay. Shopkeeper Guan is now very good at everything. He knows everything."
Guan Yunrong's face turned slightly red and her eyes flashed: "I learned this from you."
Yang Xuan chuckled: "Then it's settled, let's go out for a nice meal to celebrate the success of our business."
Guan Yunrong nodded and said yes.
While eating, Guan Yunrong asked: "By the way, why did you come to the front line in the first place? Don't you dislike being an official the most?"
Yang Xuan sighed: "What can I do? I have orders from the emperor, so I dare not disobey. The emperor wants me to come, how can I not come?"
"I was originally a small official in the Ministry of Revenue, and it was great to be leisurely and comfortable. However, this Wala man wanted to cause trouble. The emperor originally wanted me to come here to do logistics. Unexpectedly, Jiayuguan was lost. I am just trying to catch up.
.”
Guan Yunrong looked at Yang Xuan leisurely: "You know, when I arrived in Ganzhou City, I heard that you and the Admiral had come to the front line. My heart was in my throat. I rushed to Wutoubao without stopping. I heard that you and the Admiral came to the front line.
You went to the grassland, and I have been unable to eat or sleep these past few days. Fortunately, you are back."
Seeing Guan Yunrong talking and almost bursting into tears, Yang Xuan felt ashamed and stood up and sat next to Guan Yunrong: "The reason why I didn't tell you was because I was afraid that you would worry. I didn't expect you to come to the front line.
"
Guan Yunrong's eyes were full of resentment: "You have just come back, why does the Admiral want to send you out again? He has so many generals under his command, why is it you?"
Yang Xuan sighed: "It's a long story, but to put it simply, I want to make military achievements so that the prince can successfully succeed to the throne in the future."
Guan Yunrong opened her mouth: "You are already a prince, why are you afraid that you will not be able to succeed?"
Yang Xuan curled his lips: "The former prince was also deposed. The current prince's foundation is not solid. Even if he successfully succeeds to the throne, he may not be able to sit firmly. If trouble occurs, it will be a big deal."
Guan Yunrong frowned, thought for a while and said: "Just like in my family, the eldest son is incompetent and was overshadowed by me. If I hadn't been a woman, I would have been the head of the Guan family.
Already."
Yang Xuan clapped his hands: "Yes, yes, that's pretty much what it means."
"So you just came out to earn fame for the prince?"
Yang Xuan nodded: "There is no way, I have been designated as a princeling. If the prince loses power, I will also suffer."
"I understand." Guan Yunrong nodded: "So you want to take control of the military now, right?"
"That's right." Yang Xuan grinned. Those who know me really think I am worried, but those who don't know me think I want nothing more.
Guan Yunrong said: "Tell me, if this batch of wool sweaters is donated to the soldiers on the front line in your name, will it help you gain military morale?"
Yang Xuan was stunned, this is a sweater for one hundred thousand soldiers, how could Guan Yunrong do such a great thing?
No wonder she stands out in her business family.
"That's not necessary. Adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help in times of need. The court does not lack this money. If you want to donate money to gain the favor of the court, you should find another way."
Guan Yunrong nodded: "Then I'll think about it when I go back."
…
Because time was tight, the Admiral meant that it would be best to recapture Jiayuguan before the year, which was also an explanation to the imperial court.
So the sooner you start, the better.
So three days later, Yang Xuan set off with a group of guards and horses.
Because we were going deep into enemy territory, all the guards and horses were cavalry, making it easier to move in and out quickly.
The army marched forward without encountering any enemy troops, but wherever they passed, they saw devastation.
It wasn't until we walked more than a hundred miles away that we received reports from the scouts that there were Wala people in front of us.
