After the first contact in early August, King Beihai had no choice but to continue driving west.
Even if Tianshan County cannot be re-blocked, even if it only comes into contact with the Western Barbarian forwards, it can still be considered as an explanation to the Jin court.
However, it is very dangerous to advance alone like this. If you are not careful, you may be surrounded, or even risk the entire army being annihilated.
Of course, in this vast land, the Huns were familiar with the terrain and water sources, which could offset the pressure of insufficient troops.
If the troops are used properly, it is not impossible to use the geographical advantages to destroy the Western Barbarian army.
However, the so-called geographical advantage becomes smaller the further you go. After all, the Western Barbarian army will also try its best to become familiar with the environment.
When the grassland was covered with war clouds and the east and west sides were attacking each other, the latest situation of the Xiongnu royal court was passed into the pass by the Jin Yiwei.
Yushan defeated Anlida and became a veritable Chanyu of the Huns. In addition, the Huns' southern army was already advancing westward. Luo Lun felt that it was time to renegotiate.
The Xiongnu are at war with the Western Barbarians, so the food can be given.
On the tenth day of August, a large amount of grain was shipped out of the customs, and this grain would be sent directly to the front line of the Xiongnu.
After being without food for nearly a month, the Huns once again obtained the coveted food, which made them happy and excited.
Especially Ding Ling King Yu Lixi, he almost cried at this moment.
As a senior leader of the Xiongnu, Yu Lixi knew the tribal situation very well. If the Jin people delayed for another month, they would have to slaughter cattle, sheep and horses.
"Be careful and send it to the front line safely!"
Yu Richi warned that the life and death of the tribe are all on the line, and there really can't be any mistakes.
Contrary to the joy of the Huns, Meng Hai on the city wall said in a deep voice: "The Huns have betrayed their trust, and now we are giving them food. The brothers below are extremely dissatisfied with this!"
"In the past two days, Mr. Luo has been scolded for being stupid and stupid, and he was just as close to being called a traitor!"
Zhang Ziming is also aware of these situations, and he is also very troubled by them.
Explain it to the people below. They may not agree with your reasoning. Not everyone has the big picture.
"I can only try my best to appease my brothers and try to reason more with them!"
The two were silent for a while, only to hear Zhang Ziming say: "Now that the autumn harvest is coming to an end, the grain harvested in the two northwest counties will be enough for the entire army and civilians until next year. This is also great news!"
This is indeed good news. This can greatly reduce the financial pressure on the imperial court, and the subsequent land reclamation can be carried out on a large scale.
In fact, we have been relatively lucky in the past two years. There have been no floods or droughts in the past. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would have died.
Meng Hai said slowly: "The land in the northwest is barren, but there is such a rich harvest. I think the counties in the pass will also have greater harvests!"
"Although there is a good harvest, I'm afraid those wealthy gentry are unwilling to share the worries of the court and only want to fill their own granaries!"
Hearing this, Meng Hai snorted coldly: "If they dare to deceive the emperor, they will be punished!"
The two chatted for a while, and then they went about their own business. They still had a lot of things on their hands.
…………
Thousands of miles away, at the gate of the martial arts lecture hall of the Mingwu Division, one hundred and fifty thousand-level officers were lined up on the left and right, each with a solemn expression and a determined gaze.
After the Privy Council took over each capital division, it sent special work teams to each capital division to eliminate the old and weak, and strictly supervised the training of each guard station. This greatly improved the combat effectiveness of each division.
It’s not just the lower-level soldiers whose capabilities have been improved. Officers from hundreds of households and thousands of households are also keeping pace with the times in the wave of training in order to hold on to their official positions.
These thousands of households with strong faces stand together as a strong force.
After a while, the sound of gongs and drums sounded on the long street, which made everyone at the scene even more energetic.
The officials of the Mingwu Division and the Military Academy were preparing their appearance at this moment to welcome the emperor's arrival in the best possible condition.
On July 25th, thousands of households participating in the training arrived in the capital. Zhao Yanxun originally planned to meet them at that time, but there were too many things going on recently and it was postponed.
Gu Ha
Now that the class has been open for nearly half a month, Zhao Yanxun finally found time to go to the martial arts hall to take a look in person.
Soon, the emperor's guard of honor and bodyguards arrived first, making the outside of the lecture hall seem a bit crowded, but not chaotic at all.
After a while, a bright yellow sedan embroidered with dragon patterns appeared in front of everyone, being carried by sixteen people.
When the sedan arrived outside the martial arts lecture hall, led by officials from the Mingwu Division, all the thousands of households participating in the training bowed down.
"I bow to the emperor, long live my emperor!"
As everyone shouted, Zhao Yanxun's sedan fell down, and then he himself walked out of the sedan.
I saw him wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a black gauze winged crown on his head, showing the majesty of the emperor without revealing it.
To his left and right were two Privy Council envoys, and behind him were other Privy Council officials.
"Your Majesty, please!" Guan Hetai raised his hand to lead the way.
Zhao Yanxun did not hesitate and walked into the martial arts hall. The thousands of households kneeling on both sides could only see the hem of his clothes.
After Zhao Yanxun and a group of senior officials entered the gate, a eunuch came outside and asked everyone to get up.
Immediately afterwards, a military attache from the Mingwu Division issued a military order for more than a hundred people from Qianhu to leave in formation.
Although Zhao Yanxun came to build relationships with Qianhu, he couldn't make things so obvious, so he had to visit various places in the martial arts hall first.
At this stage, the Privy Council officials were very concerned because this was the time for them to show their merit.
The martial arts hall moved from Longyou to the capital. As its scale grew, its responsibilities also became more important, which Zhao Yanxun always attached great importance to.
In terms of funding for the house and resources, Zhao Yanxun could almost pass all the requirements put forward by the Mingwu Division.
If you put in the effort, you will be rewarded. Zhao Yanxun is indeed satisfied with the results of these training sessions at Jiangwu Hall.
When those hundreds of households return to the army, they will pass on what they have learned to their subordinates, thereby promoting the atmosphere of the entire Thousand Households and even the guard station.
From the classrooms, to the arsenal, to the training grounds, to the canteen and dormitories, everything here is in order.
In a daze, Zhao Yanxun felt like he had returned to his previous life, where the army also required orderliness.
After the tour, half an hour had passed, and Zhao Yanxun was feeling a little tired.
Standing at the entrance of the main hall of the school, Zhao Yanxun smiled and said to the left and right: "It's time for me to meet the future generals!"
Hearing this, all the Privy Council officials laughed, which proved that the current atmosphere was very relaxed.
The most fundamental reason is that Zhao Yanxun has been in a good mood recently because there have been bumper harvests everywhere.
I only heard Chen Anming say: "Your Majesty, thousands of households are already waiting at the school grounds, waiting for the Emperor's review!"
"Okay, let's go there right now!"
The martial arts hall occupies a huge area, and it is equipped with a school field, which is almost as big as two football fields.
At this moment, thousands of families gathered in the school grounds. They changed out of their official robes and were now fully armed.
A full set of armor, armed with large shields, long spears, short knives and small shields, with archers at the rear, thousands of households formed the basic formation of today's army.
The one hundred and fifty of them would definitely be an elite force if they were brought out.
After a while, they will demonstrate the basic formation of the army in front of the emperor.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. No matter how much knowledge of military art you have learned, fighting must always start from the very basics. That is why Mingwu Division chose basic military formations as the main content of this review.
At this moment, the thousands of households were fully motivated and planned to show off their talents in front of the emperor.
Although they are no better than the Forbidden Army, they never consider themselves weak.
