Chapter 1104: Profound

The sky was clear and the grass was green, with no clouds in sight.

As time entered June, even Wumu City gradually became hotter. .

In just over a day, Chang Wei, who was in Wumu City, learned about the battle in Atai Mountain.

He was satisfied to learn that all the Tusman reinforcements had been annihilated.

On the one hand, he ordered Chen Hu to hand over the body of the second Grand Duke to a team of Tusman surrendered soldiers and send it back, and on the other hand, he sent this news to Tongguan.

About a month later, the camel caravan and intelligence arrived at Tongguan one after another.

And through the telegram war of Tongguan, it arrived at Wuji Palace.

"Great, after the Northern Di Khanate, Wumu City was taken, and the homeland of Dasong was lost and recovered again. Next, only Tubo and the snowfield in the north are left."

In the imperial study, Zhao Xu read the telegram and looked excited.

After taking Wumu City, the territory once occupied by the Northern Di was completely incorporated into Dasong.

In addition, there was Tubo occupied by Ashur and the northeastern snowfield occupied by the Russian State.

However, after Chang Wei took over Khan Court, the Russian army stationed north of the Black Dragon River chose to retreat northward.

This area was once ceded to the Russian State by the Northern Di.

Now they have voluntarily given it up again.

Zhao Xu knew that this was not because the Russians were kind-hearted.

They knew very well that after the demise of the Northern Di, they were completely unable to defend the area north of the Black Dragon River.

Instead of doing so, it would be better to retreat northward and guard the fortress they had been operating in the snowfield for many years.

At the same time, they used their characteristics of being more resistant to severe cold to fight against the Dasong army.

After the Russian State adopted this strategy, Dasong took over all three northeastern provinces without any effort.

Now, Yang Zhen has led the Xuanwu Army to take over these territories, and the Ningjin Railway will also extend further to the northeast.

However, for Yang Zhen, he was obviously happy and depressed.

He was happy that he expanded the jurisdiction of the Xuanwu Army without any effort, and he was depressed that their original summer military plan was ruined.

If they want to fight with the Russian Empire, they have to continue to move north, which means that the Xuanwu Army will face a colder environment.

But even so, this still cannot stop their enthusiasm for attacking the snowfield.

However, Zhao Xu stopped the Xuanwu Army's actions after taking over the entire northeast region.

Because they don't want to fight three fronts at the same time.

In the direction of Tianzhu, an unprecedented war is about to start.

In the direction of the Central Plains, Chen Hu's Lancers and Chang Wei's Central Army need to continue to attack westward to contain the entire Tusman Empire's forces.

And Chang Wei's ruthless means this time are likely to make the Tusman Empire and the army led by Chang Wei and Chen Hu concentrate on a long-term hegemony battle in the Central Plains.

In these two directions, one direction has a large scale of war and consumes a lot of ammunition.

In one direction, the ammunition supply is difficult, which will consume more manpower and material resources.

If he lets Yang Zhen go deep into the snowfield to fight the Russian army again, this three-front war will be difficult for Dasong's finances to support.

For Zhao Xu, this is exactly what he doesn't want to see.

Because if so, reckless and crazy expansion would become a crime.

He would indeed take over a vast territory in a short period of time, but the huge consumption that would follow would empty the treasury of Dasong and eventually hinder the development of Dasong.

Therefore, he immediately decided to stop the war on the northern front and only let Yang Zhen station troops in Heilong River to take a defensive posture temporarily.

After the war in Tianzhu is over, he will wait for an opportunity to go north.

"Your Majesty, don't use troops in these two directions for the time being. Dasong has been governed from chaos, and everyone wants peace. Frequent wars will make soldiers and civilians tired of war. The most important thing is that the army is away all year round and it is easy to become a vassal. After all, the general is away from the emperor and his orders are not accepted."

Liu Fu was also in the imperial study. He was reporting government affairs to Zhao Xu.

Hearing Zhao Xu mention Tubo and the northeast direction, he couldn't sit still, thinking that Zhao Xu was going to use troops again.

"Hahaha... Liu Shoufu, don't worry, I don't mean that." Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly.

He had naturally considered all of what Liu Fu said.

Therefore, after defeating the Western Land Coalition in the Tianzhu War, he would stop to consolidate the war results during this period and no longer blindly expand the war.

As for the Central Land direction, he was just bluffing.

As soon as the Tianzhu War ended, the Central Army would withdraw, mainly to Chen Hu's Lancers.

And to deal with the Tusman, he would not take the war approach entirely. At present, he had the idea to disintegrate the hegemony of the Tusman in the Central Land.

As for the vassalization of the army abroad mentioned by Liu Fu, he was naturally also vigilant.

After all, he is now an emperor, and he has to consider things more far-reaching.

The Western Regions Protectorate, the Southern Regions Protectorate, and the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger armies all guard one side, and it is easy to form interest groups in the long run.

And the way to deal with this hidden danger has learned from the experience of various dynasties, and he has naturally taken precautions.

The first rule is that the army of Dasong must eat the imperial food, that is, the finances of the army must be in the hands of the court.

The second rule is also what he is about to implement.

Qin Shan, Guan Tong, Chen Hu, Ma Han and other important generals will be rotated every three years.

This year Qin Shan will lead the Qinglong Army, and three years later he may lead the Baihu Army, so as to prevent the possibility of the various armies forming small groups.
