What is comforting is that the city wall defense system in Tokugawa Prefecture Castle has finally been initially completed.⊥It is said that it was initially completed because of time. There are still many auxiliary facilities that have not been fully completed. It has only completed the entire city wall building. This is also the crystallization of tens of thousands of people working day and night.

Due to concerns about the uncertainty of the invasion of the Huns, Qin Mu ordered Liang Qiming to list this project as No. 1 project, and all other construction projects must give way to this project. Otherwise, once the invasion of the Huns, the existing troops of Tokugawa Prefecture are not enough to resist. If there are no strong city defense fortifications, it would be like a beautiful woman taking off her clothes and posing and letting her robbers ravage it.

Liang Qiming also understood the truth, and for this reason, he concentrated two-thirds of the recruited migrant workers, gave generous rewards, worked overtime day and night, and the migrant workers also took turns to work. Liang Qiming even asked Qin Mu to let the army draw personnel to participate in the construction. However, considering that the army now needs a lot of time to train to improve its combat effectiveness, Qin Mu still did not agree after thinking about it, so he only asked him to recruit more migrant workers.

Since Qin Mu asked to demolish and rebuilt many of the original insolid city walls, and expand the scale several times, the project volume is very large. Even though so much manpower and material resources have been invested, it still took five months to complete the basic facilities of this project. The remaining auxiliary facilities will take nearly a month to gradually improve.

Qin Mu was very satisfied with this. After all, he was no longer in irresistible. It only took another twenty days to complete the city defense project. By then, if the Huns wanted to capture Tokugawa Castle, they would have to pay a sky-high price.

Time passed day by day with Qin Mu's close attention. On September 1, the 14th year of the Apocalypse, the war between the Chidi people and the Huns finally broke out. In order to consolidate their overlord status on the Xitenggeli Grassland and establish a strong image for other nomadic peoples in the Xitenggeli Grassland, the Chidi people gave up the original practice of invading south and west every year, and concentrated 600,000 troops into three battle groups to launch an attack on the territory of the Hunsland.

The Husbands, with the Western General Wule, as the main general, gathered the Western Expedition to the West and the Southern Expedition to 500,000 main troops, and fought fiercely with the Chidi Army at three places, the Racing Horse Racing, and the Fertile Soil Yuan, near the dividing line between the traditional forces of the East and West nomadic nomadic peoples in the central Tengri Grassland.

On September 5, 14th year of the Apocalypse, Chidi general Chaqin led an army of 200,000 to force the defense line of the Huhuns to conquer the western part of the fertile soil on the southern line. The 150,000 Huhuns troops on the southern line were forced to retreat.

On the night of September 7, Chaqin took advantage of the retreat of the Huns' army and took advantage of the unstable opportunity to cross the Daerba River, raided the Huns' camp, defeated the 150,000 troops of the Huns' southern line in one fell swoop, captured more than 50,000 soldiers of the Huns' soldiers, and the remaining troops retreated more than 300 miles before they could seize the ground. The entire territory of Huns' Huns was shocked. Fortunately, Kurdo, the eastern expedition, led a 100,000 army to arrive in time, collected the remaining 60,000 remaining troops, stationed in Huangyangyuan, and curbed the advance of the Chidi people.

On September 14, the Chidi army and the Beixiong army broke out fiercely in the northern front of the horses, and both sides suffered damage. On September 16, the Chidi army and the Beixiong army held a grand battle in the horses races. Because the terrain of the place was quite flat and there were no obstacles, both sides chose their respective main cavalry to confront each other. The fierce battle lasted for half a day, and both sides suffered heavy losses and were finally forced to withdraw from the battle.

After more than ten days of stalemate between the two sides, on September 20, the Chidi army on the southern front, led by Chaqin, launched a fierce attack on the Beihun army led by Koldo. Due to the difference in military strength of nearly 50,000, Chidi's side was highly motivated, and the fighting spirit of the remaining soldiers in the western expedition of the Beihun expedition had been severely weakened. In order to preserve their strength, Koldo was forced to lead the army to retreat after a slight resistance.

On September 27, the Chidi army and the Beixiong army fought again on the northern front. The two sides used light and heavy cavalry and infantry to fight in all directions. The war lasted for one day. In the end, the Beixiong army withdrew from the battle first, and the Chidi army also suffered a considerable loss and did not pursue it.

On September 29, the Ano special envoy arrived at the city of Sarah in the Chidi people and the city of Barona in the Hulk, respectively, and persuaded the two sides to negotiate. On October 11, under the witness of the Ano special envoy, the negotiators of the two sides began negotiations in a temporary tent on the horse racing field. After three days of marathon negotiations, the two sides finally reached a compromise on a series of issues such as retreating their troops and redeeming prisoners of war.

On October 22, the troops of both sides withdrew their respective territories. On October 27, the exchange of prisoners of war between the two sides was completed. The Chidi side obtained a ransom of 50 million silver and 100,000 slaves. It was called the "Fifth Tenggeri War" in history and ended with the victory of the Chidi people, but the vitality of the Huns was not damaged, which only planted the seeds for the next war.

"This Ano people is really fucking abominable. The war between the Chidi people and the Huns is nothing to do with him. Can he use him to mediate in it?"

While watching the report on the war between Chidi and Beihun, Qin Mu cursed the Anou people. Although the invasion of the Beihun people might have completely disappeared, seeing that the two sides, which had not suffered much casualties, stopped their troops and made peace with Anou people, Qin Mu was in a very good mood again.

"The Ano people live in the central and northern part of the Tengger Grassland, sandwiched between the Chidi people and the Beixiong people. Although their strength cannot be compared with these two strong people, they should not be underestimated. They have always maintained an impartial attitude towards these two strong people and often acted as peacemakers for both sides. The current chief Jiber is also a talented leader. Under his leadership, the strength of the Ano people has developed greatly." Zhuge Fang was familiar with the situation of the nomadic people on the grassland, so he quickly answered.

"Then why didn't he let the Chidi people and the Beixiong people fight to the point of losing both sides, and he could take the opportunity to grow stronger?" Wu Feng raised his own question.

Zhuge Fang shook his head and explained, "Sir, the situation is not that simple. There are several powerful nomadic peoples around the Ano people. Once the Chidi people and the Beixiong people are weakened, the balance on the Tenggeri grassland will inevitably be broken. It turns out that the other ethnic groups that have ambitions and have no scruples will be taken against the Ano people without any scruples, and it is possible to attack the Ano people."

"The Ano people also have good relationships with the Chidi people and the Beixiong people, and have gained a lot of benefits from it. At the same time, they are also thinking that the two are restraining each other, which has given them a chance to develop. They also hope that the situation can be maintained longer and that they can gain more time to strengthen themselves. From a certain perspective, it seems to be somewhat similar to the strategies we have adopted. Kiber probably made this plan."

As the weather began to turn colder in November, after confirming that the Huns could no longer launch an attack on Tokugawa, Qin Mu and all the government officials put a big stone in their hearts and finally could concentrate on solving other problems.

Due to the bumper harvest in autumn, almost everyone was smiling. The houses of farmers were filled with harvested food, and farmers were also planning how much to leave for family consumption and seeds for next year, how much money the remaining ones could be sold, and how much loans could be paid. They were looking forward to a happy and prosperous Spring Festival, and hoped that next year's life would be better. The merchants also put all their energy into preparing for the upcoming spring shopping season.

Only when the army has not changed, they continue their training plans, and have not relaxed at all because of the temporary disappearance of the threat in front of them. They knew that what should come will come sooner or later. Only when they are more prepared can they have greater opportunities. It is impossible to achieve the final victory by avoiding.

As of the end of October, in July, August, Nine, Ten and Four months, an immigrant was launched, with a total of 700,000 people pouring into Tokugawa County. On average, more than 6,000 immigrants entering Tokugawa County every day. Especially after the grain harvest in September, as many as 9,000 people entered Tokugawa Prefecture County every day, and the source was more scattered, and the proportion of workers, scholars, technicians, handicraftsmen, and small merchants also increased significantly. The population of Tokugawa County has reached nearly 4.5 million, close to the highest level in history.

Businessmen who smelled business opportunities also flocked to them, with many workshops, workshops and shops open almost every day, and absorbing a large amount of idle labor. Large-scale basic farmland water conservancy construction and road traffic construction in Tokugawa County were officially launched, Tokugawa Prefecture to the northwest county, Tokugawa Prefecture to Gaochang State, Tokugawa Prefecture to the Duchy of Loulan State, these three road constructions were placed first.

In Xie Shuyu's words, the completion of these three roads will greatly improve the traffic conditions in Tokugawa County, attracting more caravans to Tokugawa and transit from Tokugawa, which will also create good conditions for increasing tax revenue. Of course, the traffic between the five prefectures of Tokugawa County has also been overhauled.

The large influx of population has caused the work of the entire government agency to be overloaded, and various departments have requested to increase their staff, but Liang Qiming only approved the report requesting the increase of personnel by the Administration and the Agricultural Administration and Water Resources Department, which has caused Mu Ziqi to scold Liang Qiming for being disgusted with his "full figure" and deliberately wanted to become as thin as Xie Shuyu.

Qin Mu also rejected the army's request to expand the army and recruit soldiers again, and required that the army should focus all its energy on improving the combat effectiveness of existing personnel rather than recruiting new recruits.

However, Qin Mu also said that as the population of Tokugawa Prefecture continues to grow, recruitment of new soldiers can be considered after the Spring Festival, but it must be on the premise that the combat effectiveness of the existing army has reached satisfactory.
