In the administrative department, the two were sitting silently on the chair thinking. Two cups of steaming coffee on the table emitted a strong fragrance, but did not arouse the appetite of the two people next to them.

"Brother Su, what do you think?" Xiao Tang on the left finally spoke.

"It's hard to say. This person is mysterious. He just wants to meet Lord Li. If he is not Lord Li, he will not talk about his mission. However, I checked his identity proof and he is the secret envoy of the Kaman people." Su Qin, who was seated in the right hand, was obviously very interested in the mission shouldered by the visitor.

"The Karman and the Lord have never had any friendship. What good things will happen if the secret envoy comes this time?" Xiao Tang was very confused.

"The Kaman Empire has always been the largest enemy of the empire in the north. It has hundreds of thousands of armors nationwide and its national strength is the strongest among the northern countries. The prime minister Gomez is very experienced, far-scheming and ambitious. In the army, Miley and Nick, who are known as the "Karman Double Pillar", are tough, sophisticated, gloomy and steady, brave, and extremely intelligent. They are rare generals. There is also a rising star Claudia who also has a strong general. What is even more worrying is that, except for this emperor, the other people in their domestic military and CPPCC cooperate very well, which has also put great pressure on the empire. If Jiayuguan of Taixuan Mansion was not blocked there, I am afraid that the north of the empire would have been in constant wars, even if we were not safe in the northwest." Su Qin still clearly saw the form of the empire.

"Yes, even so, the Kamans tried every means to tear a hole in the Principality of the Derlock, and they still occupied the city of Jiama. There are large troops stationed in it. They can go south to herd horses at any time, which poses a great threat to the empire." Xiao Tang also nodded.

"Well, the Principality of the Derlock is an important barrier to the north of the empire and an important ally of the empire, but the empire is unable to support it now, which is really regrettable." Su Qin also had a lot of insights.

"Now the Kamans suddenly sent a special envoy to meet Lord Li. What conspiracy will be there?" Xiao Tang's topic revolved around.

"I guess it's all related to Taixuan Mansion. The Kaman people have long wanted to kick the roadblock of Taixuan Mansion. The East Continent also knows that Taixuan Mansion is nominally the territory of the Lord, but it has always been outside of Lord Li's direct jurisdiction. This must be something that Lord Li doesn't want to do. There are naturally conflicts in this. I think if there are conflicts, someone will pay attention to this conflict." Su Qin's face showed a smile, "But I think Lord Li is not a good person. If the Kaman people want to trade with Lord Li, it may not be enough to not pay enough weight."

"Well, since this envoy is unwilling to tell us, we won't force it. But Lord Li has already gone to Beijing, so I'll tell him the news and let him go back and report it to Ling Tianfang. Then I'll report it to Lord Li in the imperial capital. I think he should have finished his job at Jingshu at this time. I don't know when he will return." Xiao Tang nodded steadily.

When Ling Tianfang received the news from Xiao Su and his two men, he was carefully inspecting the preparations and construction of the Northwest Independent Light Cavalry Division on the grasslands in the northwest of Qingyang. The situation from Xiao Su and his two men immediately attracted his high attention. Although the Kaman envoy did not explain any purpose, the arrival of the envoy himself actually explained many problems.

Ling Tianfang stood on the parade on the court and stared silently in the distance. The heavy burden on his shoulders made him feel particularly fulfilled but a little nervous. After all, Lord Li didn't know when he would return when he left. Although the risk was not very high, it was difficult to say political things tightly. It was unpredictable and it would be impossible to delay any accidents for a while. As soon as Lord Li left, the entire defense affairs of the northwest and northern Luzon were all on his shoulders. There was really a problem. Even if he wanted to ask his boss far away in the capital, it would be too late, so he had to rely on himself.

Yinchuan Prefecture in the north has always been a disaster. The pressure caused by the three elite divisions forced themselves to strengthen patrols and surveillance of Yinchuan Prefecture day and night, and they dare not slack off at all. There is also the 150,000 enemy troops stationed in Nuremberg, which is thousands of miles south of the fertile land and a flat horse. If the cavalry forcefully marched, they can only press the northern border of Qingyang in just one day. If Sun Yuanliang's army is added, Qingyang's situation will be extremely dangerous. Of course, the possibility of this situation is very small, and no one can send out all the troops without leaving any left-behind troops, which is even more impossible for Sun Yuanliang. But as his side, he had to make the worst plans, so as not to have a real crisis, and he could only be helpless.

"Mr. Ling, look at how well you prepare, right?" Three senior officers in full military uniforms also walked onto the parade. The first person was Cui Wenxiu, who had made meritorious service. His tone was full of pride and pride, and he looked like he was guilty.

"Well, it's not bad. I think these war horses are very good and the soldiers are of good quality. You have to strengthen your training. Don't be like this bird now when Lord Li comes back." Ling Tianfang and Cui Wenxiu are quite familiar with each other and have a good relationship in private. Although both of them are serious in formal occasions, they often joke without outsiders.

"Where can it be? Isn't it just formed now? I just divided the soldiers and horses, and even the armor has not been filled up, and the training has not started yet." Cui Wenxiu smiled, obviously very satisfied with the quality of the new soldiers under her.

"Yes, the division commander pulled out all the middle-aged men among the Jeli people, selected one by one, screened them and then selected more than 10,000 people, and eliminated some. The rest were all elites, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were also selected from the reserve forces of each prefecture. Even the people from the War Readiness Administration had objections, saying that our requirements were too harsh." Following Cui Wenxiu was Jiang Han. He looked much more energetic before, and his momentum was very different from before.

Originally, according to Wufeng's plan, he selected 15,000 soldiers from the Jeli people as the main force of the Light Cavalry Division. However, when Wufeng left, Ling Tianfang and Cui Wenxiu gave up the plan after discussion and reduced the number of Jeli people to 10,000. In addition, 2,000 people were selected from other small nomadic tribes living on the grasslands in the northwest Qingyang, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were selected from the reserve troops in the four prefectures of the Northwest County.

Ling Tianfang and Cui Wenxiu did this mainly because on the one hand, they considered that avoiding too many strong men had a great impact on the production and life of the Jeli people, and more importantly, they wanted to prevent the Jeli soldiers from occupying too much of the cavalry to achieve a relatively balance. After all, the Jeli people came from the Tenggeri grassland and belonged to the nomadic people. They did not come to Qingyang for a long time, and they were also forced to come under the pressure of Luobei people. If the comparison of forces in this area changes, it will inevitably affect the changes in the attitudes of these nations. For the sake of stability, the two of them have changed in this way.

"Well, the quality is very good, but if the training does not keep up, it will not be able to form effective combat effectiveness. You cannot be blindly optimistic. By the way, what's wrong with the people who are preparing for the summer? Why are even horses ready but armor not ready?" Ling Tianfang put his eyes on Jiang Han's face and his expression became serious.

Since the Light Cavalry Division had just been formed, there was no suitable candidate for the logistics commander of the division, so the deputy division commander Jiang Han temporarily served as the deputy division commander.

"Oh, Lord Ling, the horse problem was that the division commander and the troops from the combat readiness department forced to the military horse farm and almost snatched the horses that they had bred. The people in the military horse farm were calling us robbers. The troops from the combat readiness department bought 8,000 excellent war horses from the Mots in advance, and they were all ready. The armor was originally prepared for more than 10,000 pairs, but they didn't expect to be so urgent, so they were not prepared enough. Now the combat readiness department has urgently ordered 5,000 pairs from the Zhan Leather House, requiring delivery within one month. The Zhan family has asked all the workers to work overtime every day and strive to complete it within one month." Jiang Han explained calmly.

"Well, that's right. The Zhan family must complete the task within the specified time. Otherwise, even if he had an agreement with the adult, I would still refuse. He refused to accept it. He refused to let him go to find the adult. He missed the opportunity to fight. He still couldn't take the responsibility..." Ling Tianfang's face did not relax at all, "Lu Man, this kid, has left too. Isn't the person in charge of this combat readiness office going to be transferred?"

"Don't worry, sir, there should be no problem." Jiang Han smiled, "He Zhan's family has never been ambiguous about Lord Li's affairs. Zhan Zhaobai is an old fox. He can tell the difference between big and small things than anyone else. He also wants to make a fortune by relying on the mountains."

"Sir, I think you have been looking at the north just now, and you seem to have something to worry about?" asked Yan Tong, the chief of staff who had not spoken.

"Well, I got the information. The Mot actually shook hands with the Sisro people this year. So far, there has not been a war between the two sides. If it were in previous years, I would have fought many games." Ling Tianfang said depressedly.

"Oh, isn't the Sithro army stationed in Nuremberg very leisurely?" Yan Tong reacted quickly.

"Well, I can't say it. Without the pressure of the Mot, the Sithro people's room for activities will be much greater." Ling Tianfang said lightly, his eyes becoming deeper.

"There are also the second, third, fifth divisions and security divisions in Qingyang, and the fourth division is also stationed in the north of Guide. We can support us at any time. Our strength is still quite solid." Cui Wenxiu thought silently and said.

"I wonder when the First Division will be able to return to the northwest?" Jiang Han also asked.

"It's not possible yet. Although the situation in Northern Luzon is not as complicated as ours, we have just gained a foothold and there must be many remaining opposition forces who want to make a mistake. The Northern Luzon 1st Infantry Division in Shanzhu has just changed its name from the militia of the Gaoyue people. If you want to truly form combat power, you have to make great efforts. As for the local security divisions, they have just been formed and cannot play much role at all. It's okay to scare the people. If you really go to the battlefield, it will be exposed. Without the First Division there, I'm afraid that the Northern Luzon will be in peace. I still think that the power is not enough there." Ling Tianfang expressed his opinion.

"Sir, you see, Sun Yuanliang from Yinchuan is really a future problem. If you have the chance, you should solve him first." Yan Tong put forward his own opinion.

"It's easy to say. Sun Yuanliang has been in Yinchuan for decades, with a high city and thick walls, and three elite troops of the division. There is a big backer behind it. How can it be so easy to solve?" Jiang Han shook his head and said.
