"Your Majesty, if you really want the Boyin people to persist while maintaining enough strength, I am afraid that the empire will have to risk the overall deterioration of the relationship with the Sithro people. The Kamans don't have to worry too much. We have controlled Jiayuguan and the front line of the Dirok, our defense system has been improved and we can fully assume the heavy responsibility of defense. What I am most worried about is that if the Sithro people get the support of the other three countries of Liberia, the pressure we will be under in the north will be too great, especially when the empire's next military operation may be carried out in the south first." Ling Tianfang carefully said, this was a discussion within a very small range. Apart from His Majesty the Emperor, the participants had only his deputy, the Right Privy Councilor Bo Jinchen.

Wufeng could hear the meaning of Ling Tianfang's words. He tended to support the Sex tribe in maintaining and strengthening his strength. He believed that the Door tribe, which had always been a little less obedient, could get a lesson appropriately. As long as the Door tribe could be dragged through the past six months, the empire would be fulfilled. As for the power of the Door tribe, it might be greatly weakened, it was not the scope of the empire's consideration.

Ling Tianfang believed that after the empire solved the southern problem, the Liberians could not compete with the empire even if they united. The empire's comprehensive national strength would be far superior to the united four Liberians. Even if the Baiyin people could not exert any strength, the empire could solve the Liberians as long as they adopted appropriate tactics such as defeating them one by one. Now the empire is not ready to turn against the Liberians, and the empire cannot fall into the Liberians' tail when actively preparing to use troops to the south. It is most appropriate to maintain a good relationship with the Liberians in the near future.

"Tianfang, we have to look at it longer. The strength of the Sithro people is now recovering very quickly. The Kamans are now in charge of the power of Huacili and Knox, who are now in charge of the Kamans, have also been influenced by the Sithro people and become more pragmatic. In fact, in addition to the adjustment of military policies, their economic development strategies have not changed much from those of Gomez when they were in charge of the power of the Kamans. Once the Kamans shrink in military terms, it means that they can have more energy to develop the economy. If the Sithro people and the Kamans develop, the Liberians will have to face greater difficulties in the future when the Empire is in the Battle of the Northern Expedition. I think that if the Sithro people and the Kamans cannot be allowed to develop this way, the Boyin people will also hold back their development."

Wufeng did not agree with Ling Tianfang's view in his words. He would rather take various methods now to let the Boyin people hold back the Liberians than face a powerful Liberian group in the future. Even if he pays the price of fighting against the Sithro people now, he will be willing to do so.

Ling Tianfang was very doubtful if the Tuoji played any role in it, but he could not question His Majesty's opinion. He had already stated his own opinion. However, if His Majesty the Emperor insisted on his own opinion, he could only accept it. The military strategic deployment of the Privy Council had to change accordingly, which made him a little unwilling to accept it.

"Your Majesty, then our military deployment in East Tenggeri County, Northwest County and even Beiyuan County needs to be readjusted. The existing military force is not enough to deal with the conflicts and even wars that may be caused by the evils with the Sithro people and the Kaman people." Ling Tianfang reluctantly raised his concern, "If this state of sub-war lasts too long, it will affect our planned southern war plan."

"Well, I have been considering this issue. Cui Wenxiu hopes to continue to promote the empire's westward plan in the middle of this year. He demanded that Nanmeili and Northwest India-German Security Department be taken back. I have been worried about this issue. If Cui Wenxiu implements this plan, will a full-scale war break out with Sioran and Jutland and the Empire? The Hansen Alliance also needs to consider this issue. I originally hoped to mobilize two to three legions to strengthen the defense of the northern line, but if Cui Wenxiu wants to promote his plan, the army of the Central Continent cannot be transferred, and the defense in the north is a problem." Wufeng was also a little distressed.

"Since your Majesty has made up his mind to disrupt the development plan of the Sithro and the Kamans and support the Baiyin people, then we need to strengthen the defense of the northern line. It is inevitable to draw troops from the Central Continent. If necessary, a legion can also be drawn from the southwest region. However, wars against the Hansen Alliance, Jutland and Sioran will be launched continuously over a year, which will affect the overall planning and layout of the empire. Therefore, I think that if General Cui Wenxiu believes that it is indeed necessary to launch a war this year, he can only use the force to maximize the four legions.

Designed with the scale of four cavalry regiments, it cannot exceed this limit, otherwise it will affect the deployment of other aspects of the empire. Two additional legions are added to the northern line, mainly located on the Yulin and Yinchuan lines, which should meet the needs. In Jiayuguan, we can station mobile forces mainly cavalry. If the Sithro people and the Kaman people really want to show off with us in the problems of the Boyin people, we can also use the mobile forces to conduct early strikes and disrupt their war plans, which can also win us some time to readjustment."

Bo Jinchen, who had never spoken, finally interrupted. He advocated reducing passive defensive power and adopting a surprise deterrent to the Sithro and Kamans to expand their mobile power, so that they dare not show up with the Empire easily. This will not only avoid having too much impact on the Central Continent, but also actively prepare for the war in the south. As long as the Bo Yinren can be delayed until July, the sea transportation channel between the Xuanbingyang and the Bering Sea can be opened. It can provide sufficient supplies for the Bo Yinren through shipping, and it can also allow the Bo Yinren to survive this year until next summer. I believe that by then the relationship between the Empire and the Liberians needs to be repositioned again.

Bo Jinchen's opinion made Wu Feng and Ling Tianfang feel bright. If a sufficient number of mobile cavalry were deployed in the Jiayuguan area, once the Sithro and the Kaman people intend to take means to assist the Baiyin people in counterattack, the mobile cavalry could protrude from Jiayuguan and attack the southern part of the Sithro and the Kaman people. Although this may not necessarily pose a fatal threat to the Sithro and the Kaman people, at least it can allow the Sithro and the Kaman people to consider the consequences of taking military measures against the empire.

"Well, your Majesty, Jinchen's opinion is worth a try. Now Jiayuguan is controlled by us. As long as we deploy about 100,000 Rangers here, I believe that both the Sithro and the Kaman people will consider the cost of their use of force against the empire. This can also minimize the pressure on our northern defense line. Moreover, we can also deploy necessary cavalry forces on the East Tenggeri grassland to suppress the Sithro people from both sides to prevent them from jumping over the wall."

Ling Tianfang nodded in agreement. His deputy's tactical views have always been a strong point, and many times he is even more keen and unique than himself. Ling Tianfang did not hide his admiration for this deputy.

Wu Feng also noticed the novelty of this view. Instead of spending heavy troops to garrison the northern defense line, it is better to prepare sufficient mobile forces to deter the Sithro and the Kamans, so that the Imperial Army may have conflicts with the Sithro people in the Sex tribe territory, which is another matter. As long as the war does not turn into a full-scale war, the empire can accept it, otherwise the empire may have to reconsider the strategy of first south and then north.

When Tuoluo and Takra learned about the Empire's decision, they were undoubtedly overjoyed. They didn't know what exactly made Wufeng suddenly become so reasonable. Although they refused to get rid of the ban, they gave them a way out that they had never expected.

Obtaining supplies from the eastern passage is a last resort. Importing materials from the east is not only difficult to transport, but also suffer huge losses, and will also be affected by various possible variables. The Door tribe is not desperate and will not take this bad decision. If the empire can use force to ensure the access within the Sex tribe, it will be better for both the Sex tribe and the Door tribe. That means that the Sex tribe and the Door tribe will be protected by the imperial armed forces. At least if the Sithro people and the Kaman people want to take large-scale military actions against the Boyin tribe, they have to consider that they may face the threat of force from the Tang Dynasty.

The Spring Festival finally kicked off with Bai Yinren's gratitude. Wufeng did not like this kind of complicated and lengthy ceremony. He also believed that no matter which emperor he was, he would be tired of this purely performative ceremony. However, as the founding emperor of the Tang Empire, this was the first Spring Festival since the establishment of the Empire. No matter from any angle, he had to bite the bullet and persevere all the way.
