However, the dream is easy to wake up, and the carriage stops, "Sir, you're home."

The female guard's words interrupted Qin Mu's dream, and the girl under his command immediately struggled violently. Qin Mu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could kick the female guard off the carriage, but in this situation, he had to take his hand helplessly.

...

As the lights in the study started, the guards outside knew that adults were going to stay up late again today. They all knew that Qin Mu, who lacked women, would find it difficult to sleep peacefully. He would either study all night, do a while, sleep for a while, and get up to work.

It's time to write to Liang Qiming and the others. The mansion that he served as the governor of Beiloulan must have been sent to all places soon. It is estimated that in two days, Northwest and Northwest will know that the eight million silver funds must be transferred to Northwest and Northwest as soon as possible. However, there is no reliable money house in Beiloulan, so he had to transfer to Northwest first. Liang Qiming will consider these things.

The most urgent task now is to stabilize the situation in the northwest and Beiloulan. If I really can't go back for a year or two, this situation will inevitably be exploited by those who are interested. The northwest is probably better, especially since the situation in Beiloulan has just been settled, and the army stationed there is still relatively weak. Fortunately, the situation around is still stable, but we also need to prepare for the future and be prepared early. Do we need to strengthen some of the forces in Beiloulan? Qin Mu is a little undecided.

Narawang actually traveled thousands of miles to the imperial capital to see him, hoping that he could help them attack the Zhazi. Unexpectedly, there was a big backer of the Zhazi. This was an opportunity, but it also hiding a considerable risk. Since the Hyderabad tribe was very afraid of the Thiki, it means that Thikh was still quite powerful and his foundation in Beilolan is not solid. I am afraid that he still has to do it carefully.

Well, we will talk about it after we talk to Lawang tomorrow. However, it is necessary to build a border fortress at the junction with the Bangzha people. It can not only effectively curb the invasion of the Bangzha people and thus win the support of the five ethnic minorities, but also be able to attack after the construction of the Bangzha people after the completion of the construction. It will be in an extremely favorable situation. Yes, Luman and Mukai must be told immediately that when the Shuangdui City is established, the construction of the border fortress in the northwest corner will be started. Qin Mu looked at the bright candlelight and pondered quietly.

"Father, you seem to have a serious concern? Can you tell me to the child so that the child can also share the worries for the father?" In the magnificent hall, a young man who looked a little thin asked the old man in a gorgeous dress paced in the room.

"Oh, things are a little troublesome."

The face of the old man in the gorgeous clothes was filled with clouds. His eyes that were quite divine could not hide his fatigue. He handed the young man a letter, "This is the news that just came from the country, please take a look."

The young man took the letter and said softly: "A large number of Daqin troops were found in the border area between the eastern and Tokugawa, with a number of about 100,000 people. After reconnaissance, the number was the First Division and the Fifth Division of the Northwest Army of the Great Qin Empire, and learned through diplomatic channels. The other party called it a routine military exercise to test its ability to deal with possible changing situations."

His face became more and more pale. The young man was a little nervous: "Father, what are Qin Mu's plans to do?"

"Hmph! What else can you do? Show off your martial arts and achieve your goals." The old man in the Chinese uniform was also full of helplessness.

"What are their purposes?" the young man asked hurriedly.

He let out a long sigh, and the old man sat back in the chair and stroked his forehead with his hands. He replied: "These guys have a great sense of smell. Yesterday, Haybal asked me to discuss with me and suggested that a joint force, each of our five countries provides at least 30,000 soldiers and weapons and equipment. The first step is to ensure 20,000 people and directly withdraw them from the existing armies of each country. The remaining 10,000 people will be supplemented within one year. Loulan is willing to provide 40,000 people, Kuche and Bega are willing to provide 35,000 people. The purpose of the joint force formed is to defend against the possible invasion of the five countries in our Western Regions by foreign enemies. I think this is a good thing, and I discussed with Dulali and basically agreed to this plan."

"Well, this seems to be a good thing, but I'm afraid the two neighbors in the north and east will be unhappy." The young man was very sensitive.

"Yes, right? Qin Mu's chief representative Su Qin came to visit him just now." The old man was full of sorrow.

"What did he say?"

"He said that he formally expressed his attitude on behalf of the Qin Empire and did not want to see targeted military alliances in the region. He said that this would be detrimental to peace in the region. He hoped that our Gaochang State would consider it carefully."

The old man in Chinese clothing smiled bitterly, "I repeatedly explained that the establishment of a joint force is not aimed at either side, but is just to strengthen the defense capabilities of various countries in the region, but the other party did not listen at all, and repeatedly asked me to act cautiously to avoid the consequences of this move."

"This is simply a naked threat, so despicable!"

The young man was also a little excited and his face flushed, but then he was depressed, "But our Gaochang country is no better than other countries. We face them directly. Once a war breaks out, we will be the ones who will suffer."

"Yes, so my father is very distressed now. He doesn't agree to the other party's request. He is also worried that once the other party breaks up, we will be directly attacked by the other party. Although we want to form a joint force, it is unlikely to form an army in less than a year or two. And I am worried that the far water cannot dissolve the near fire when the near water is not reliable. Besides, the Mots are not trustworthy at all. I don't believe that they dare to break up with Qin Mu. But agree with their request. It is a bit showing weakness, and more importantly, they lose a good opportunity to be independent, and it may be even more difficult in the future." The old man's dilemma was overwhelmed.

"What are you going to do, Father?"

The young man asked quickly, "Now the army of the Qin people is showing off their military power again, obviously putting pressure on us, we have to make up our minds as soon as possible."

"Oh, it's hard. I decided to observe again. Although Qin Mu's army was conducting military exercises on the border, I heard that Qin Mu himself was not in the northwest or north Loulan, but returned to Yanjing. I guess they would not dare to do too much under such circumstances. It was nothing more than warning and threatening us. As long as we did not clearly join the joint forces of the five countries in one day, they would not take action." The old man in the Chinese service was not too worried about this, "I want to see the actions of Kuche and Wusun."

"Kuche and Wusun?" The young man looked puzzled.

"Hmph, the representative of the Huns has arrived, and a prince who came is said to have a good relationship with Qin Mu and has contacted Su Qin. He certainly does not want to see the success of forming a joint force. He will definitely put pressure on the Kuche and Wusun people. I want to see how their results will be made before making the final decision."

The old man in China's clothing narrowed his eyes and flashed with a cunning light. "If they can withstand the pressure of the Huns, we will join; if they all push three times and four times, I'm sorry, we Gaochang will not be with us."

At the same time, the northwest Loulan border was also a busy scene. The newly formed Shuangdui Guard Division and the First Division of the Northwest Second Army stationed in the region received orders to conduct strategic cooperative exercises along the northern border area.
