"I think this is okay. From now on, the cities in the hinterland and the north, including Fuyu County, will simply stop garrisoning troops. The focus of defense will be on several large port cities along the coast. In addition, it will be enough to maintain a smooth north-south road. Yes, it saves a lot of trouble and can save troops." Wanyan Pingqiu said.
"What do Xiaosheng and Mr. Dugu mean?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"They all agree." Wanyan Pingqiu said, "We also all believe that future operations in Gao Juli may be based on the navy and the army as a supplement. In this way, at least 100,000 to 150,000 troops can be reduced, mainly Gao Juli. There is too little grassland in Lina to raise horses, and the cavalry cannot use it..."
"That's fine, but we can't all reduce these hundred battle cavalry. I think our strategic focus can be tilted to the northwest in the future." Xiao Chen said.
"Are you worried that the old mountain monster will come out to cause trouble?" Wanyan Pingqiu asked.
"It's not just him. The situation in the Western Region is still very complicated. The gate to the west of our Yanyun County is not strong. It starts from Yanyunguan in the south and reaches Niutoushan in the north. The area in the middle is a vast plain. If Yanyunguan is still with us, Okay, but now..." Xiao Chen shook his head.
"I have also talked with Xiaosheng, Mr. Dugu and General Yunfei. They all feel that the situation has changed. Our strategic concept of relying only on Xiaoguan as a barrier is a bit too conservative. It is also time to press to the west. Yes, but I'm afraid of touching Li Wanjiang's sensitive nerves." Wanyan Pingqiu said.
Now Yanyun County already has considerable strength, so the strategic policy of "I will not attack others unless they attack me" also needs to be adjusted.
As long as we think people will offend us, we can offend them first!
The problem in the Western Region must be resolved sooner or later, and while there is no war in the southeast for the time being, it is time to turn our attention there.
But the key to solving the problem in the Western Regions is not external, but internal. Li Wanjiang's attitude is crucial.
Yanyunguan is also crucial.
The Western Region is important, but it is also important to solve Wanyan's personal problems. The two were chatting when suddenly Ling'er came out and saw Wanyan. Pingqiu grabbed him and said, "Oh, that's great. You're still here." Well, I thought you slipped away quietly!"
"I just left when I wanted to. It was fair and aboveboard. Why did I run away? I didn't become a gold thief like you!" Wanyan is now used to Ling'er's hands and feet, no matter how big or small.
"They stole a little gold, but you stole their hearts!" Ling'er laughed, "You are a heart thief!"
There were too many people in these two days and it was too busy. Ling'er had no time to match Wanyan Pingqiu and Shenzhao Xingzi. After Wanyan, Xiaosheng, Dugulou, Guan Yunfei and others came, they were always with Xiao Chen and the old man. Ling'er was not easy to disturb when talking about things, and Kamiteru Sachiko had no chance to see him.
Wanyan is about to leave now. Before leaving, I must arrange a date for the two of them to show that Ling'er, my little matchmaker, is competent, but I am not always just having fun without serious business.
"Oh, you'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me. I'm leaving now. There's a lot to do. How about we talk about it when we come back next time?" Wanyan didn't have much enthusiasm for this date.
"Who knows when you will come back next time? I have already made arrangements. I have booked a private room at the Yandong Friendship Hotel. You can just go directly. You are such grown-up people and you are quite thick-skinned. You can talk as much as you want, and don’t be shy about doing the work... I’ll hold a wedding for you at this time next year, so go ahead.”
However, Ling'er had already arranged everything.
"How about we go together?" Wanyan Pingqiu had never been on a blind date before, and suddenly she felt a little nervous.
"What are we going to do? Make light bulbs?" Ling'er said, "I'll send you a beautiful woman. Whether it succeeds or not depends on you, so we won't get involved."
"Then I'll go?" Wanyan Pingqiu felt like she was being chased.
"Go ahead and wait for your triumphant return. I wish you success." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
As soon as Wanyan left, the fat Qianye Ling and Ouyang Yunxiu who were hiding in the corner rushed out. Is he there? Then let's hurry up and follow...
What to do? Naturally, I went to watch the excitement and see what shameless words Wanyan Pingqiu said to Princess Shenzhao, so that I could make fun of him later.
Ling'er had also reserved a seat in advance in the private room next to where they were dating. She said she wouldn't go, but could she really not go? It’s not for anything else, but I’m afraid that little girl Sachiko Kamiteru has a weird temper. If she doesn’t get along well, she might draw a sword against her...
"Yunxiu, you are messing around with them too!" Xiao Chen said.
"It's not nonsense, I want to hear what nonsense you men say to girls on their first date!" Ouyang Yunxiu was obviously being led astray by Ling'er and the others these days.
Not reserved at all now.
None of them were as reserved as the goddess Teru Sachiko. Sachiko had already arrived first. She was sitting in the private room with her pretty face flushed nervously. She was about to meet her idol in her heart and the prince in her dreams alone. This pair of girls had just begun to have a love affair. Say, that's quite an exciting thing.
In fact, she also met Wanyan Pingqiu later, but she only glanced at him secretly from a distance, as if she was admiring a painting...
Because Wanyan Pingqiu is always with people like Xiao Chen, the old man, Zhuge Xiaosheng, Dugulou, and Guan Yunfei, she, a girl, has no chance of getting close.
Ling'er originally wanted to drag her to introduce Wanyan, but she was so shy that she refused! It would be embarrassing for a young official in the palace to chatter with a young man in public...
Now, it would be even more embarrassing.
Even when she heard Wanyan Pingqiu knocking on the door, she didn't dare to answer, and she was so nervous that she exploded.
"Eh? Are you Princess Sachiko? I knocked on the door and you didn't say anything. I thought you didn't come." Wanyan Pingqiu opened the door and walked in. She couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Kamiteru Sachiko sitting upright at the table. Haven't you heard that this princess is mute?
"Yeah." Kamiteru Sachiko snorted, but her head dropped to the table.
She was extremely shy, and she didn't look like the overbearing princess who would stab people with a knife.
"Have you ordered?" Wanyan Pingqiu sat down opposite her generously, "What do you like to eat? I'm sorry, I personally don't like to eat your Japanese seafood dishes, but the tempura is not bad. ...Princess Sachiko, can you raise your head? What are you afraid of? I’m not a ghost."
"My dear, anything is fine. Brother Wanyan, you can eat whatever you like." Kami Teru Sachiko mustered up all her courage and finally raised her head. When she saw Wanyan Pingqiu, her face was flushed instantly. He was pale, his eyebrows that were originally full of willow leaves suddenly stood up, and his big, affectionate eyes suddenly widened...
Did Wanyan Pingqiu get shocked? I looked back subconsciously and saw that there was really a ghost following behind me...but there was no such thing. So, Miss Sachiko, what are you doing?
