The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 888 Arming
(Get off work late, the next chapter can only be more chaotic, everyone go to bed early!)
In a hall of the Northwest Governor's Office, a group of civil and military officials knelt in front of the "telephone".

Governor Luo Lun, eunuch Zhang Xing guarding the Northland, and Commander Su Chuyun of the Jinyi Guards knelt at the front.

It was only because of the emperor's will that the three of them had to complete it separately.

Everyone in the hall knew about the retreat of the Huns to the east, and they all analyzed the consequences.

So when Zhao Yanxun's order came, everyone present was not surprised.

"The ministers and others lead the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Luo Lun led the mountain shout, and all the officials present shouted.

After everyone got up, Luo Lun said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the current situation is turbulent and the border is not stable. We are the king's salary, so we should do things with sincerity, so as to live up to the emperor's great trust!"

Everyone nodded again and again, all of them expressed their loyalty, patted their chests and said that they would do their jobs well.

After warning everyone, Lauren asked them to retreat, leaving only Su and Zhang in the hall.

"The two of you should act according to the oracle!" Lauren said calmly.

Next, the three of them discussed again, and then they dispersed.

Su Chuyun wanted to go back to formulate a strategy and find out the real reason for the Xiongnu's eastward retreat; Zhang Xing wanted to go to the northwest of Beidi County to convey the emperor's will to the generals of the imperial army.

As for Governor Luo Lun, he will order Tianyuguan to be on strict alert, and he will also order to cut off the food and weapons sent to the Huns.

The three aspects of the Jin Dynasty worked together, among which the food suspension had the greatest impact, and the Huns came to the door after only one day of suspension.

Outside Tianyu Pass, King Canglan approached on horseback, followed by five guards and an interpreter.

"King Canglan of the Xiongnu, I have something to ask the garrison general of Tianyu Pass!"

The food was stopped in order to let the Huns come to the door and let them explain it themselves.

"What do you want to ask?" Zhang Ziming shouted.

Joining the army as the governor's office, he was sent by Laurent to Tianyuguan, where he was responsible for communicating with the Huns.

"Why didn't you send out the food that was supposed to be handed in yesterday? Are you going to break the covenant between the two countries?" King Canglan asked loudly.

Hearing this, Zhang Ziming directly asked: "You Zuo Xianwang, why do you want to retreat east?"

"Warning and marching, you can walk in the southeast and northwest, what's wrong with that?" King Canglan replied.

In fact, King Canglan couldn't understand when he learned that his main force was retreating. After all, Zuoxian Wang Yushan had won the battle.

This is because King Canglan is far away from the center, and he has no way of knowing a lot of news, so he can't understand it.

Of course, no matter how much you don't understand, justifying yourself is the basic skill of a "diplomatic" person.

Seeing that King Canglan was not telling the truth, Zhang Ziming simply said: "At the beginning, the two countries signed the covenant to allow you Huns to stand up against the Western Man on my behalf, but now your southern tribes have retreated and exposed Tianshan County to the Western Man. Is it worthy of the alliance between the two countries?"

It is the most important thing at present to clearly state the inside story of cutting off food, let the Xiongnu understand the intention of the Jin Dynasty, and respond to it as soon as possible.

Talking around the corner at this time can easily lead to strategic misjudgments and cause unnecessary troubles.

"Now, you go to see your Shan Yu immediately, and let him explain this!"

"Enough words, you go back!"

After saying these words, Zhang Ziming turned around and left directly, that was so neat that no matter how much Canglan King shouted, it would be of no avail.

"My lord, what should I do?"

"What else can I do? Of course, send someone back to the royal court as soon as possible to report the situation to the Chanyu!" Cang Lan scolded angrily.

Immediately, they rode away with their horses and took away the convoy that had come to transport the grain.

"Master Zhang, what do you mean by the Huns? Is it really unbearable, or do you want to drag me into the water?" Meng Hai couldn't help asking.

"I'm afraid it's both. From Jin Yiwei's news, the Western Barbarian army is so powerful that it's normal for the Huns to be unable to withstand it. Besides, they don't want us to take advantage of it for nothing!"

Meng Hai said very angrily: "Exposing Tianshan County, so that the Ximan can invade our dynasty, but let us relieve their pressure, this is really a good plan!"

It is really unethical for the Huns to take benefits but not do anything.

"So, I'm afraid I still have to rely on myself!" Zhang Ziming sighed.

Meng Hai went on to say: "The western barbarians have a lot of troops, if they invade on a large scale, the imperial army alone may not be able to stop them!"

Now there are 80 imperial troops stationed in the northwest, but the western barbarian army has 30 million. Even if only one-third of them are allocated to attack, that is [-] million.

Although the forbidden army is strong, but after all, its strength is too small, and it is possible that it cannot be defended.

But now the imperial court has reached its limit of troops that can be mobilized, domestic reforms are at a critical moment, and it is absolutely impossible to mobilize more troops to ensure stability.

Any problems faced by the Northwest can only be dealt with by the existing troops in the Northwest.

I only heard Zhang Ziming say: "Presumably, troops will be drawn from the guards!"

Now in the Northwest, in addition to the [-] imperial cavalry and the [-] Northwest Army, there are also [-] troops dispatched from various capitals.

The 5 people dispatched by the capitals from all over the country will be stationed in the counties to the south of Tianshan County, which will better cooperate with the actions of the imperial army.

As for the soldiers from the two counties in the northwest, it is enough to firmly guard the Tianyuguan Great Wall.

In fact, Lauren also had the same idea, so he has been planning carefully for the past two days.

Tianshan County is occupied by zombies, but the city and Wubao bordering Beidi County were taken down by Beidi Dusi years ago.

Because of the discovery of the existence of the Huns, Zhao Yanxun stopped the suppression of the zombies in Tianshan County, otherwise there would be more cities under the actual control of Tianshan County.

There are now a total of 28 cities and fortresses with defensive value. Lauren has already figured out how to distribute his forces.

After coming up with the plan, he summoned the commanders of the capitals.

As the governor of the Northwest, apart from mobilizing and commanding the forbidden army, the rest of the army must be controlled by Lauren.

So when he gave the order, all those who were called that day arrived.

There was a crowd in the hall, and all the generals looked at Lauren.

"Everyone, you all know the situation in the Northwest now!"

"In order to consolidate the defense of the Northwest, this officer, together with the two envoys, formulated a defense plan!"

After saying this, Lauren looked at the scribe beside him, who immediately began to distribute the plan in his hand.

After everyone received the document, Lauren went on to say: "You all look carefully, you can raise any doubts, and if there is no objection, follow it!"

It can be said that this plan has taken into account all aspects, and everyone at the scene couldn't fault it, so they all agreed.

"Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, it is absolutely impossible to recruit civilian husbands, so the transfer of grain and grass has to be resolved by each department itself!"

At this time, when civilian husbands are recruited, the grain in the Northwest may rot in the ground, and such losses cannot be afforded at all.

Again, Dajin's current finances are on the verge of collapse, and a loss of a slightly larger scale simply cannot afford it.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and didn't say much about it. Self-delivery of military rations is not new.

"Okay, let's all go back and set up, and we can set off tomorrow morning!"

Everyone took orders and left, and after they walked out of the governor's office, they opened their chatterboxes.

The people who settled in the city smiled happily, while the people who settled in Wubao looked sad. After all, Wubao is more difficult to defend than a city.

"Don't worry, isn't there still the imperial army, they can let the western barbarians besiege us?"

For the fighting power of the imperial army, these people are usually convinced, so they will use this to comfort people.

The fact is also the same. The guards stationed in Beidi County are only to assist the forbidden army, and the forbidden army is the real main force of defense.
