While thinking, his heart was like a fire burning fire, Wufeng urged the horse to move quickly. Although he was exhausted, Wufeng still had no intention of resting. The guards who followed him followed Wufeng's galloping horses and soon crossed the Longdong realm and entered the territory of Bonan Prefecture, Northwest County.

As soon as he stepped into his territory, Wufeng felt that his mood became much more at ease, and an inexplicable sense of relaxation filled his heart. It seemed that even the grass and trees that were not different were much more intimate. This may be a psychological effect, but Wufeng still felt that even his fatigue disappeared a lot. Entering the forty miles of Bonan Prefecture, it is an important checkpoint in the southwest corner of the northwest county - Yangmakou. The main military and political officials of Bonan Prefecture who have already received information have been welcomed by Wufeng here.

Seeing a large group of civil and military officials surrounding Yangmakou Pass, Wufeng couldn't help frowning. He didn't like this hot scene at all, but when he drove the horses to meet, he saw the old subordinates who came to greet him and all the gentry, businessmen and ordinary people who spontaneously came to welcome him with sincere and eager expressions and heartfelt cheers, his dissatisfaction suddenly disappeared without a trace.

What a touching scene this is? How can I, Li Wufeng, have I, so many people, have such high expectations? If I cannot bring them a peaceful and prosperous life, I will really be ashamed of the expectations of the people! Many years later, he, who has become the emperor of the glorious empire, is still deeply touched by this scene. In his autobiography "The World", he also used heavy pen to describe this touching scene.

While their subordinates greeted each other enthusiastically, they also walked into the crowd generously to shake hands and hug them with the merchants, farmers and craftsmen who had admired for a long time to show goodwill. This aroused the fanaticism of the people who were already in a turbulent crowd. The situation suddenly became a little messy, and the dozen guards who were accompanying seamlessly complained. Such a chaotic formation was something they did not expect. In this case, it would not be possible to separate Wufeng from the people. This would greatly dampen the people's enthusiasm for Wufeng. They could only watch and listen to all directions to concentrate all their attention to the possible dangers. Fortunately, the people who came to welcome were all loyal and honest people. They were just inspired by passion and did not do anything out of line.

After finally escaping from the people's siege, Wufeng and the many guards were sweating profusely, and reluctantly waved farewell until Wufeng disappeared into the circle of defense of officials and soldiers. These people who were eager to see the guardian gods who were respected as the people in the northwest gradually dispersed.

At this time, Wufeng really took out his energy to meet the officials of Bonan Prefecture who had already been preparing to report his work. However, nothing could be seen from the face of Yang Zhengbin, the guard of Bonan Prefecture City, but Wufeng keenly discovered that the chief and deputy division commanders of the Bonan Prefecture Security Division who came with him were a little worried.

Wufeng's heart suddenly skipped a sigh of relief. Could it be that the battle situation on Taixuan was in trouble? The following reports of several people indeed confirmed Wufeng's guess. Jiayuguan had been conquered by the Kaman army three days ago, and the specific situation of the battle was still unclear. All good moods were dispelled by this sudden news and had nothing. The head of military and political affairs of Bonan who accompanied Wufeng to the city guard's mansion saw Wufeng's face as deep as water, and they all tactfully stopped talking. They originally wanted to invite Wufeng to visit his proud masterpiece - the city guard Yang Zhengbin, who was also the first glass factory in the entire empire, had to secretly swallow the words, and everyone followed Wufeng and his party silently.

The group went to the city guard's mansion to sit down, and Wufeng's face looked a little better. The loss of Jiayuguan did shock Wufeng. Such a strong and dangerous fortress would be broken overnight. This kind of thing is indeed unbelievable, but this kind of thing happened just around him. Wufeng was shocked and quickly concluded that there was a problem inside the guard's army and there was no internal response. There was no need to think about this kind of thing. Although he had sat in the meeting hall in the city guard's mansion, Wufeng's thinking was still on the loss of Jiayuguan.

Everyone was already sitting there, but seeing Wufeng sitting in the first place still falling into deep thought, not daring to speak, afraid of disturbing the Duke who had just returned to the territory and took the blow. After a while, Wufeng woke up from his meditation. Seeing that all the subordinates below were sitting quietly in their seats waiting for him, Wufeng reacted. He quickly smiled apologetically and began his speech.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted just now. Zhengbin, I won't stay in Bonan for long. Now the military situation is urgent, so I won't say much about the rest. I have the chance to see the glass factory you introduced. In addition, your higher technical training school is worth promoting. It can greatly speed up the speed of workers' familiarity with work, and can further absorb more farmers and unemployed people to participate in the study and training. As for the privatization of official kilns you mentioned, I think the pace will be slowed down for the time being. After all, those kilns with good performance can bring great benefits to the government, but I don't think I will make a decision on this issue for the time being. You and Xiao Tang and others are discussing it in detail, but I won't make a conclusion."

Wufeng said concisely and briefly, and in just a few words, he roughly explained what Yang Zhengbin wanted to report, but at this time he really didn't have much thought to ask about these economic issues. Although he also knew that the economy of Bonan Prefecture was very exciting under the management of Yang Zhengbin, and the speed of development was only comparable to Guide Prefecture. However, Taixuan was in full swing, and he needed to rush to the front line immediately to determine how the entire northwest, including Northern Luzon, would deal with the complex and severe situation. Now he really didn't have much time and energy to pay attention to these.

To be honest, Wu Feng had considered any dangerous situation, but he did not expect that Jiayuguan would fall in just ten days, which made the situation in the northwest very difficult. If he defended Taixuan Prefecture City, he would inevitably send more heavy troops. At least three divisions would be required to deal with the Kaman army that could go south and west to attack at any time. He also had to arrange a considerable number of troops west of Taixuan Prefecture to prepare for reinforcements at any time. This would greatly restrain Wu Feng's main force and would be difficult to deal with the upcoming Taiping Rebellion; and if Taixuan Prefecture City was abandoned, he would not only face the severe criticism of the empire, but also leave an impression that was unfavorable to him among the entire northwest people, especially among the Taixuan Prefecture people. Moreover, the rich and fertile territory and rich products of Taixuan Prefecture did make Wu Feng a little moved. This was a dilemma.

As the guard of Yi Mansion City, Yang Zhengbin was a little disappointed with Wufeng's haste. He had many development ideas to report to Wufeng, especially the privatization of the official kiln that he wanted to temporarily suspend the privatization of the official kiln. However, he also knew how much impact the fall of Jiayuguan would have on the northwest. He has always been grateful to Wufeng for being a young man with no background and no qualifications as the guard of Yi Mansion City. It was not that he wanted to be an official, but that Wufeng provided him with a stage that could allow him to show his talents. This was what he admired and moved the most.

After two or five, Wufeng and his team solved the lunch. Although it was urgent, Wufeng still insisted on checking the training status of the Bonan Guard Division. This surprised Shenei and Yue Shan, the chief and deputy division commander of the Bonan Guard Division.

Looking at the rows of energetic and radiant officers in front of him, and the soldiers with strict rules and clear armor, Wufeng couldn't help but nod and smiled with satisfaction. The people accompanying Wufeng to inspect the troops finally showed a smile on Wufeng's serious face, and his anxiety was relieved. Compared with the soldiers of the Longdong Security Division they saw at Queqiao Pass, they were simply incomparable. Whether in terms of morale, mental state, training degree, or equipment, they were not on the same level.

"Sir, how do you feel? It's not worse than Long Zixing's troops, right?" Shene and Yue Shan looked eager, obviously they were still worried about the last time the Guide Guard Division led by Long Zixing and Hillman was incorporated into the Fifth Division of the Northwest Legion.

Wufeng couldn't help laughing when he heard this. It had been so long since the incident, but these two guys were still unwilling to let go. However, looking at the situation of the troops in front of him, he was indeed qualified to say this. "Yes, it's really good. I think the security division in Bonan should be no worse than any of our entire Northwest and Northern Luzon areas."

"Hmph, sir, I say this, but why didn't we consider our division group at that time? It was a mule or a horse that took it out for a walk. I don't believe that our division group would be inferior to their Guide Security Division!" The temple complained when he mentioned this topic.

"Yes, sir, our division team can be with you whatever you want. If you don't believe it, please let them try it." Yue Shan also said to the side.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about this for the time being. The matter has passed. Moreover, it's not just you who are not convinced. I see Zeppelin and Gao Ang, Kang Jianguo and Yuchi Bin, all seem to be eager to try. Everyone still has a chance, so don't be in a hurry." Seeing that the two were still angry, Wufeng comforted.

"Sir, don't lie to us. The Northwest Legion is full, so where is there any vacancy?" The She Nei immediately felt energetic when he heard this, and his eyes were also fixed on Wufeng's face.

Yue Shan's heart was also moved. Could it be that lord will make any major moves when he comes back?

With a faint smile, Wufeng said without comment: "Well, although the Northwest Legion is full, can't we form another legion? Also, our Northwest region is vast, can't we set up an independent division? Well, I advise you two to do a good job in training, strengthen combat preparations, and do your job well. Don't think too much about the rest."

When the two of them heard Wufeng say this, they all lit up in their hearts. They exchanged glances with each other, smiled knowingly, and there was a chance!
