Originally, these low-Hun nobles were quite wary of these neighbors of the same clan who had fought with them for hegemony on the Dongtengri Grassland. Although they were defeated by the low-Huns and recognized the overlord status of the low-Huns, they were always thinking about how to weaken themselves, fantasizing that one day they could turn the world and take back the overlord status.△↗Now these guys are colluding with Qin Mu of the Great Qin Empire. Wouldn't that make Li Qinmutue more like a tiger? How can he take revenge?

Seeing the nobles and ministers in the hall talking a lot, Wadeya frowned and cleared his throat, "Just be quiet, why don't you panic? Let Seidy finish his words."

"They had close contacts with Qin Mu in February and March this year, and sent secret envoys to visit each other. We spent a lot of effort, but we still couldn't find out what they had to do. Their confidentiality measures were very strict. The latest information shows that Qin Mu secretly gave away a large amount of food, cloth, tea, medicinal materials and other materials, which was far more than the supplies given to the countries of the Western Regions." Seidi also felt his throat dry, and he swallowed before he finished speaking.

The Great General of the West Expedition, Harry Qisheng, did not participate in the discussions of the nobles, but just stood coldly aside. The Great General of the East Expedition, Ukola and the Great General of the South Expedition, exchanged glances, and both of them had some concerns.

Wadeya also felt a little upset. The attack of the Chidi people had been expected, and his side had made some preparations. Unexpectedly, this damn Qin Mu not only had an association with the countries of the Western Regions, but also colluded with his old enemies. This could not help but arouse high vigilance.

"Mr. Seidi, is your information reliable?" Harry Qisheng, the general of the West, spoke.

Seidi glanced at Harry Qisheng with some dissatisfaction and replied: "Absolutely reliable. This is not only the news from the Tokugawa people, but also the information from the Mot, the Tubu people, the Kuir people, and the Numid people has also confirmed it."

Wadeya glanced at Harry Qisheng, "Harry Qisheng. Do you have any doubts?"

"Yes, Chief, I suspect this is a scheming method, a smoke screen that Qin Mu can make." Harry Qisheng replied respectfully.

"Then what is his purpose?" Vadya asked quickly.

"Originally, we planned to advance to Tokugawa County this year to avenge last year. Qin Mu also knew this, so I suspected that he wanted to create momentum and make us have some concerns and dare not let go of the attack." Harry Qisheng expressed his thoughts.

"Oh? Are you that powerful? Then why was Qin Mu beaten to the point of losing his armor last year and falling into tears?" Wu Kela, the general of the East of the East, who had not spoken, sarcastically said.

A trace of anger flashed in Harry Qisheng's eyes, and he didn't say anything, but he soon returned to normal.

"Betsan, what do you think?" Vadya ignored Ukola and turned his eyes to the General Besan, the South Expedition.

"I agree with General Harry Qisheng's view. But Lord Seidi said that if the Chidi people had a large-scale war with us and our troops in the east were heading to Tokugawa County, the remaining troops would appear too weak. If the Mots, Tubus and Kuirs, and the Numites came to take off the firewood from the bottom of the pot, we would be very passive." Besan's tone was very tactful.

The Mot and Tubu people were located on the east side of the Hulk, while the Kuir and Numidians lived in the northeast and north of the Hulk.

"In addition, our intelligence officers also discovered that Kasiron, the envoy of the Chidi people, had also stayed in Tokugawa County for a long time in February. I doubt whether he had contacted the Mots and the others." Seidi carefully threw out a heavy pound bomb.

Almost everyone was quiet. The Chidi people also formed an alliance with Qin Mu, Mote and others? If this is the case, the situation will be really bad. The nobles whispered quietly, and their eyes would also be on Wadeya.

Harry Qisheng sighed in his heart. He was sure that this was definitely Qin Mu's conspiracy, which created this situation, which made these people, including the chief, feel wary. But who would believe what he said now? Qin Mu, Qin Mu, you are so cunning.

Sure enough, Vadya, who was already a little worried, considered making a decision repeatedly: "In case, the expedition to the east will give up the plan for invasion this year and make defense preparations. Anyway, the harvest this year is good, and the food and grass are still enough. After all, the Chidi people are our biggest enemy. If you go to the west, you will immediately make war mobilization preparations, and you will also make war preparations in the south. The southern invasion plan will be cancelled and you will move closer to the west. As a reserve force for the expedition to the west, the escort army will also be prepared to prevent accidents."

After the meeting, Harry Qisheng returned to his mansion with a desolate expression. Harry Podo and Desim, who had been waiting there, saw their boss's face unhesitation and guessed that the plan had changed, but neither asked.

When Harry Qisheng saw the three of them, he forced himself to smile and told the two of them about the situation of the meeting in front of the palace and his own analysis and judgment. Although they were very disappointed, they were both able to calm down.

On the contrary, Harry Qisheng was in a very bad mood, but in the end Harry Podo couldn't help asking: "General, this year is not possible. We can come back next year. Why is the General so depressed?"

"I'm afraid the situation will not be so optimistic. This year, the solution to Qin Mu should be the best opportunity. He has just arrived in Tokugawa County. His foundation is not solid and his strength is insufficient. If I miss this opportunity, I am afraid of raising a tiger. Looking at his methods and strategies, I feel heartbroken. Next year? Things are easy to change, and there may not be such a good opportunity next year." Harry Qisheng sighed, staring at the east sky and dazed in a daze.

It was this plan, which was called "hidden ears and stealing bells" by historians of the Chinese Empire in later generations, which successfully deceived the intelligence system of the Huns and allowed the decision-making team of the Huns to make a wrong decision. It was this wrong decision that gave Qin Mu a whole year of breathing, giving Qin Mu a chance to successfully strengthen the strength of his army in this year and lay the foundation for the subsequent Second Northwest War. Zhuge Fang also began to show his strength in the Eastern Continent's military circle with this deception plan.

Some people in later generations also said that if the Huns boldly launched an attack on Tokugawa County and strangled Qin Mu's power into the cradle, there might not be the glorious Huaxia Empire in the future. But there was no history, and Qin Mu won time and won victory.

Although the hot summer has come, the immigration trend has never stopped. Due to the beautiful weather this year, most areas on the continent, except for some places, have good weather and harvests of crops.

The policy of exempting taxes from Tokugawa County from three years has made the new immigrants taste the sweetness of Xiaochun's harvest. In addition, the propaganda of those who are interested, on average, nearly 5,000 immigrants flock to Tokugawa County every day. Even some poor nomadic herders moved to the northwest corner of Tokugawa County to engage in grazing, which made Qin Mu very excited. It seems that good policies can even transcend the nation to erase hatred, making it difficult for all those who yearn for a happy life to resist.

Under the intentional adjustment of the Agricultural Administration and Water Resources Department, the cultivated areas gradually developed from the eastern and southern parts of Tokugawa Prefecture to the north and western parts, and gradually became reasonable planning.

With the influx of labor, the investment, business and property investment of merchants in other parts of the empire gradually tilted towards Tokugawa County. New workshops were constantly being opened, shops were opened in Tokugawa County, and a small number of small workshops appeared in some larger market towns in the territory, and the entire Tokugawa Prefecture was full of vitality.

After Qin Mu's approval, the army recruited again. All divisions were fully staffed, and the entire Tokugawa Prefecture's army had reached about 410,000. The military expansion plan was also strongly criticized by government officials led by Liang Qiming. Liang Qiming pointed out that the total population of Tokugawa Prefecture is less than 3.5 million, while the number of troops is close to 40,000. The ratio of soldiers to the people has reached a ratio of 1:8, which is simply unheard of. The expansion of the army is actually a disguised competition for labor with handicrafts, agriculture, and commerce. In the long run, this will definitely seriously affect the potential for Tokugawa's economic development.

Qin Mu specifically introduced the current severe situation to Liang Qiming and others, and promised that the number of troops would not be increased in the near future, which barely calmed the government's dissatisfaction. After all, the army also needed a lot of time to digest and absorb the recruits.

With the large number of immigrants entering, the required loan funds also increased exponentially. The two funds obtained by Qin Mu from the court seemed a little stretched. Fortunately, in addition to Huitong Money Bank and Wanfeng Money Bank, the second largest money bank in Jiangnan area, Jinling Money Bank also entered Tokugawa County to open a semicolon. Qin Mu also successfully reached an agreement with the Jinling Money Bank on the matter of guaranteeing the acquisition of micro-loans by the government for new immigrants. In order to ensure the normal operation of the administrative agency, the Tokugawa Finance Department stopped the business of directly loaning the immigrants by the Finance Department. Fortunately, three financial institutions were enough to cope with the normal needs of immigrants.

As September comes, the harvest is in sight. Looking at the golden fields, no one will feel happy. But Qin Mu's heart is heavy. Although there is no sign that the Huns will invade Tokugawa at present, there are also information that the Huns have reduced their troops in order to prepare for a war with the Chidi people and gave up their invasion plans in other directions. However, current affairs are changing, and it is hard to guarantee that the Huns are deliberately making noises to paralyze their own side. Especially in the face of an old fox like Tu Da, no one dares to make a guarantee in less than November.

In order to strengthen intelligence and information work, Qin Mu also specially approved a fund to the Military Intelligence Department and the Security Bureau to investigate the collection of activities of the Hunter military. After all, this is related to the fate of the entire Tokugawa County, and we cannot be careless at all. On average, a special person will transmit the intelligence of the Hunter side to Qin Mu every three days.
