I'm a marquis in Datang

"In addition, our cement factory in Jiuquan County has also found a suitable mining site, and has begun to build a factory building. In the future, our cement factory will be able to manufacture cement in large quantities."

Liu Zhengxi said: "It would be too troublesome and costly to transport cement from Chang'an. But now, I can manufacture it myself."

"Not bad!"

Du Qi nodded and said: "Although the cement factory was stationed in Jiuquan County before, the storage of cement was limited. After all, the long-distance transportation is not an easy task."

Liu Zhengxi said: "What Your Highness said is true, this is the current shortcoming, what we lack. But when Xia Lie arrives, all this will change, and we will no longer be hindered."

Du Qi said: "Since the construction of the cement plant has already started, we can start to build roads next. Let the cement plant, while the plant is being built, build a section of concrete road outside the cement plant as a model road section."

"Next, we will also build roads in Jiuquan County. Although Jiuquan County is not our final foothold, Jiuquan County is connected to Longyou Road. To a certain extent, it is also connected to the direction of Chang'an, so we also need Build the road."

Du Qi said: "This kind of road is for everyone to observe."

Liu Zhengxi said: "The humble job will be arranged as soon as possible."

Du Qi nodded and said, "I'll wait for your good news. As for the cement factory, we will make arrangements early."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxi agreed, got up, said goodbye and left.

"Report!"

At this moment, the voice of a soldier sounded outside the study.

Du Qi said, "Come in."

The door creaked and was pushed open, but a soldier entered and said, "Your Highness, Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi are asking to see you."

"Please!"

Du Qi gave an order.

The soldiers went to pass the order, and after a while, Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi entered together.

The two saluted Du Qi at the same time.

Xiao Yuanqi took the initiative and said: "Your Highness, the reason we came here is because of the bandits occupying Jinshan in the west of Jiuquan County."

Du Qidao: "Any thoughts?"

Xiao Yuanqi looked at Xue Rengui, motioning for Xue Rengui to speak.

Xue Rengui didn't hesitate, and said, "Your Highness, each of us has [-] elite soldiers under our command. The soldiers have increased their strength, but they still lack the experience of fighting."

"If it has not been baptized by war and has not experienced war, this army will always lack combat effectiveness. Therefore, our plan is to attack Jinshan in order to train the soldiers in the army."

"Furthermore, now that winter is approaching, and the weather is getting colder, it is so difficult

Sending troops in a difficult environment can even play the role of training troops and achieve results. "

Xue Rengui said: "So I think that our dispatch of troops this time will not only have the effect of training soldiers, but also have the opportunity to destroy the Jinshan bandits. This is an excellent opportunity."

"It's true!"

A smile appeared on Du Qi's face.

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "Since you plan to attack the bandits in Jinshan to train your soldiers. What do you need for this battle?"

Xue Rengui shook his head and said: "Your Highness, you don't need anything, you just need His Highness's support. With His Highness's support, we have [-] elites, which is enough to win. Even if there is a little fighting power, it is not enough for mere Jinshan bandits. fear."

Du Qi nodded and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi used it together.

The two came to plead for life, hoping to get Du Qi's support.Now that Du Qi nodded, everything would be easy.The two came and went in a hurry. After asking for orders, they left and went straight back to the barracks.

Inside the Chinese army tent.

Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi sat opposite each other.

Today's military is small.

There are only two of them as the main generals, as for the other staff officers, joining the army, Sima, etc.

, They are not equipped for the time being, it's not that they are not equipped, but there are no such talents in the army today, only two people are there.

Xue Rengui said quickly: "Old Xiao, let's attack Jinshan bandits on the spur of the moment, and go directly to see His Highness. Now that we have His Highness's consent, we can now discuss the details of sending troops. Jinshan's terrain, you have been arranging outposts for the past few days." Inquiring and pondering. Tell me, how should we arrange this matter. "

Xiao Yuanqi stroked the beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "No, although I have some thoughts, but you often go to see Mr. Liu, and you are proficient in the art of war, and you also know the map of Jinshan."

After a pause, Xiao Yuanqi said: "In front of me, don't talk nonsense and be modest. Just tell us what we need to do, how we need to arrange it, and if it's appropriate, we will do it according to yours."

Xue Rengui smiled and said, "I'll just try to talk about it."

"Say!"

Xiao Yuanqi spoke.

In fact, Xiao Yuanqi admired Xue Rengui, because during this period of time, Xiao Yuanqi also fought against Xue Rengui several times, but without exception, they all lost in just one encounter.

Even now, Xiao Yuanqi's defeat has become more and more clean, and Xue Rengui's strength has become more and more tyrannical.

Even Xue Rengui is young.

But Xue Rengui's strength cannot be ignored.

Shocking.

Furthermore, Xiao Yuanqi and Xue Rengui also often talked about the art of war. Every time Xue Rengui was able to talk eloquently and quoted scriptures. The most important thing was that Xue Rengui's art of war was out of the ordinary, which Xiao Yuanqi admired very much.

In a word, Xiao Yuanqi admired Xue Rengui very much.

Xiao Yuanqi will let Xue Rengui formulate a strategy.

Xue Rengui said: "Old Xiao, you and I should know that the mountain of Jinshan is not a special steep mountain. Of course, it is not an ordinary mountain, and it has certain advantages."

"That's why the bandits in Jinshan are entrenched in Jinshan. According to the information obtained so far, from our Jiuquan County to Jinshan, we can attack from the front."

"It's a way."

"There is another way, go around to the back of Jinshan, and climb from the northwest side behind Jinshan. However, on the northwest side of Jinshan, the mountain is steeper and not easy to climb."

"After all, there is a cliff mountain, but once you climb the mountain, you can go straight to the top of the mountain."
