The conquests in the Far East and Far North were basically over, and the mobilization and rotation of Lu Ning's army were all in place, and a new conquest was about to begin. In the Bingzhou official yamen, senior civil and military officials gathered together, and they were studying new conquest directions and regions.

First, Lu Ning told everyone: "Although the conquests in the Far East and Far North ended, there are still a very small number of dead corners that fled into the deep mountains and forests and our army could not sweep. The clearing of these places must continue, and no matter how much time it takes to completely solve it, this is a difficult task. I guess it will not take three or five years. The conquests on Zijing, Gan Ning, Zhang Chuang and others on the Japanese island are underway, which will take two or three years, and it is a very difficult bone to crack.

The next step for our army's foreign conquest is mainly overseas conquests and the siege of the countries in the Western Regions. Overseas conquests must wait for Jiang Qin on Tianchouzhou (Yidao), the marine soldiers of the Emperor and the navy soldiers who were trained. The problem that needs to be solved immediately is the expeditions of Yongzhou and Luoyang. Luoyang is now in Cao Cao's hands, and Hongnong is in Zhang Ji's hands. Although these places were burned into ruins by Dong Zhuo's fire, their geographical location is very important to us and is related to me.

The military's defense system is safe. Yongzhou must be occupied. That is the rear of our army when we conquer the Western Regions. If Yongzhou is not in our army's hands, then our army's logistics support will be threatened when conquer the Western Regions. This is absolutely impossible. Of course, Xiliang must be dealt with as soon as possible. As for other princes? Let them fight each other, as long as we don't mess with us, we will still devote all our energy to expeditions. This is what the Han people should focus on studying."

After hearing this, Tian Feng said, "Lord, if our army opened up so many battlefields of conquest, then our army's troops were seriously lacking. The total strength of our army is only a little over 480,000, of which there are 130,000 troops on Yi Island, 45,000 overseas and marine soldiers who conquered the island of the South and North Changdao and the Marines who conquered the island of Wa, 20,000 troops stationed at Ruxuwu Wharf and 5,000 in Anhui City, 20,000 in Donglai, 50,000 in Jizhou, 10,000 in Guandu, and other places also need to be stationed. There are not many troops that can be mobilized."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun said, "Since the troops are not strong enough, then recruit some new recruits to train immediately, otherwise it will be nervous if you need to use them."

Sima Lang immediately objected: "We can't recruit troops anymore. The total number of troops in our army is almost close to 500,000. If we recruit troops again, the consumption will be greater and the burden on the government office will increase. In addition, it is not very urgent for overseas conquests. Take your time, as long as we defend the safety of the jurisdiction."

Zhao Yun glared at Sima Lang and said, "Fifth brother, you have developed a habit. As long as you discuss conscription, you will be yelling. Can you think more about the difficulties of the military and the Ministry of War? Besides, you don't care about finance now, so what are you worried about?"

When Lu Ning heard this, if he didn't stop, he would immediately make arguing again, so he had to say, "Zilong won't say anything, and slowly conscription should be slowed down in advance. After considering it later, although the military strength is tight, it is enough. Although the government's tax revenue is increasing every year, the expenditure is also huge, especially the investment in infrastructure is indeed very large, and our fiscal and taxation basically has no balance. And we will soon build the road to Gaoshun City (Berga Lake) and the highway network in the Far East and Far North, which also requires a lot of money to support it."

Guo Jia glanced at everyone and saw that there was no controversy before he said: "I will now issue the combat order from the General Staff Department:"

1. General Ergou led an army of 10,000 to station in the Far East, and thoroughly cleared out all blind spots in the Far East, and eliminated the hostile forces.

2. General Heizi led 20,000 troops to station in the far north. The army headquarters was located in Gaoshun City (Berga Lake). He closely monitored the invading enemies in the northwest and completely solved the enemy forces in the far north within two or three years. Especially at the top of the far north, our army has not arrived. You must send a large army to the good climate, set boundary monuments in various places, and build fortifications.

3. General Yan Rou led 500 navy and 500 marine soldiers to our leased place in Fars Province. The original 500 soldiers returned to change defenses. Wei Yan transferred General Wen Yuan from Ruxuwu to obey the orders. General Yan Rou should pay attention. Now there are 20,000 mercenary soldiers in Fars Province. You leave 5,000 mercenaries, and the rest of the mercenary soldiers are transferred to Yidao for training. In addition, Beckham and about 10,000 slaves will also be sent back to Jinyang.

4. Tuo Yi, Zhou Tai and Sun Li (a graduate of the military academy) led an army of 10,000 to our leased land in Yichengbuguo, and completed the wharf there as soon as possible to become the base of our navy. In the future, our army will form a naval fleet there and build some defensive fortifications. When conditions are ripe or there is a chance, the altar of the Chengbuguo will be defeated. During the expedition, General Zhou Tai will be responsible for the command on the sea, and General Que Yi will be responsible for the command on the land. You must pay attention that you are fighting independently overseas without logistical support, and you can only solve it yourself in the expedition. All food and grass must be provided by the expedition and seizure. Moreover, you must be very careful in the war. If there is any mistake, there is no way to make up for it, and you will pay a heavy price.

5. General Zhang Sha'er led Han Juzi to station the place we rented on Bintan Island and completed the wharf as soon as possible. The geographical location of Bintan Island is very important, and it is the only way for us to do ocean trade. You must control the Rokka Strait, and the warships of no country will be sunk, of course, merchant ships are exceptions; Bintan Island is a small island with a population of only more than 10,000, and is an indigenous tribe. You must often use money to bribe A Guang, the nephew of the tribe elder, to let him come forward if he has anything to do, and to take Bintan Island into his pocket at the right time.

6. Generals of Lusu, Ganning and Zhang Chuang continued to conquer the Japanese islands.

7. General Xu Huang led 20,000 troops to station in Donglai, and monitored the movements of Cao Cao's army at all times. There were also major wars there at any time. Be careful. At the same time, after Gongming returned, he immediately mobilized the army to the Beihai and the border line in the Le'an area to conduct practical exercises, making the momentum vigorous and making a stance to attack Qingzhou.

8. General Zhang He led an army of 50,000 to station in Jizhou, and also drove the army to the Puyang City area for practical exercises, and made an attack on Puyang and Yanzhou, mobilizing Cao Cao's army.

9. Zhang Liao and Ling Cao led 20,000 troops to continue to station at the Ruxuwu Naval Base, closely monitoring the movements of the surrounding princes.

10. General Gao Shun transferred Yidao to train Marine soldiers and presided over the army there. The naval soldiers were given to General Jiang Qin for training. In the second half of the year, General Jiang Qin will lead troops to the expedition. Ziming must play the role of dragging the emperor when training Marine soldiers. That boy is very good at training soldiers; of course Ziming will also lead troops to the expedition next year.

11. General Hao Zhao continued to lead 10,000 troops to guard Guandu and immediately entered the state of war. The geographical location there was a special place and it was the bridgehead for our army to attack Cao Cao in the future. It would be attacked by Cao Cao's army at any time. We should always pay attention to defense.

12. General Taishi Ci led Han Meng, Gao Lan and Guan Hai, the third generals of Guan Hai, led 40,000 troops to attack Luoyang, Hongnong, seized Hulao Pass, Sishui Pass, and Hanwu Pass, and repaired defensive fortifications to strictly prevent Cao Cao's army from attacking and retaliating. For safety reasons, Mr. Ju Su went to war with General Ziyi.

13. General Zhao Yun led the four generals of Zhang Yan, Li You, Lu Mine and Lu Xiang to lead 80,000 troops to attack the entire territory of Yongzhou, defending the northern land, Shuofang and other places. Mr. Tian Feng followed the army to conduct military congress. Zilong and Yuan Hao, you two should pay attention. Since the information sent back by our scouts and spies, Ma Teng from Liangzhou also dispatched more than 100,000 troops to advance towards Chang'an. Maybe you will be attacked on both sides and deal with Zhang Ji and Ma Teng's two armies at the same time. Of course, it is best to be able to occupy Chang'an City first and then fight Ma Teng.

14. The East China Sea Fleet was established on the South and North Changdao, and General Ganning served as the chief supervisor of the East China Sea Fleet; the South China Sea Fleet was established on the Yi Island, and General Jiang Qin served as the chief supervisor of the South China Sea Fleet.

After Guo Jia conveyed the order, Zhang He said, "Brother, can you let Ziyi and I change. Ziyi has been fighting for so many years. You should have a rest. Let me lead my troops to fight. I have been resting for a few years. Now you let me do exercises again. I'm so itchy."

When Taishi Ci heard this, he immediately said, "Junyi, this is OK. I finally got some work, how can I transfer it? Besides, the military order can be changed at will. It is also very important for you to lead the army to exercise in Jizhou!" After saying that, he burst into laughter.

After hearing this, Lu Ning said, "Second brother, don't fight anymore. I promise to let you lead the army overseas to fight in the first half of next year. Those places are the hardest bones to crack. You should be interesting and prepared."

Mr. Cai Yong said: "Zilong, when you lead a large army to attack Chang'an, you must pay attention to protecting the palace and not let the soldiers damage the palace's buildings and facilities."

Guo Jia continued: "Yuan Tan, your internal affairs officials should also make arrangements immediately, and it is best to go with the army, so that our army can take over internal affairs immediately whenever we go."

After hearing this, Gu Yong said, "Lord, who will let Luoyang and Yongzhou take charge of internal affairs?"

Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Luoyang will let Xu Kang take charge of the internal affairs there, but Yongzhou will let Cui Lin take charge of the situation. And where they were originally working, you will re-appoint local officials."

After hearing this, Gu Yong said, "It's the lord, I'll issue a notice immediately."

Lu Ning glanced at everyone and said slowly: "There is another idea. If Zilong, Yuan Hao and others successfully occupy Yongzhou, I suggest rebuilding our base camp in Chang'an City and moving our base camp to Chang'an City. In the future, Chang'an will become our political, economic and cultural center, which will be conducive to the next step of command and combat."
