After Agu and other Kansai generals left the city to join the Northern Yuan, only five of the original seven guard commanders of the Kansai Army were still in Qinglong City, and the two commanders who left were one of the Chijin Mongolian Guards Agu, and the other was Aduanwei Commander Saman.

Unlike the situation of the Chijin Mongol Guard, the southernmost part of the Kansai region, at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, was ruled by a clan, and Saman and the commander of the Aduan Guard, Tongzhi Manhei, were brothers.

Because of the brutal black departure from the city to join the Northern Yuan, the hesitant Saman chose the same path.

However, Saman and Manhei's younger brother, Aduan Weiwei Commander Chilai stayed in Qinglong City after a quarrel with the two elder brothers, and succeeded as the commander of Aduan Weiwei with the support of Li Yuntian.

In addition to the Chijin Mongolian Wei and Aduanwei, the biggest loss was Qu Xianwei located in the Qaidam Basin, Wei Commander Tongzhi and Wei Commander Servant both chose to take refuge in the Northern Yuan of the city, taking away nearly sixty percent of Qu Xianwei's troops.

In November, the first snow fell in the Kansai region, making the entire Blue Dragon City a fairy tale world of pink and jade, and it was white as far as the eye could see.

Li Yuntian pushed open the window and looked out the window at the snowflakes that were blowing one after another, this heavy snow was a good thing for the defenders of Jiayuguan who were in the middle of the battle, and could stop the almost crazy attack of the enemy troops outside the city.

According to the latest news from Zhou Zheng, the west pass of Jiayu Pass to defend against the enemy in the west of the pass has fallen, and under the madness of the servant army, the besieging people gradually piled up a long slope outside the pass with corpses and soil, which is enough to attack the city wall of the west pass through the ramp.

This made Zhou Zheng have to abandon Xiguan and retreat to the city wall of "Zhongguan" to defend it.

Jiayu Pass only has two passes, east and west, Zhou Zheng knew that he had to block the enemy in Jiayu Pass, so after arriving at Jiayu Pass, he ordered another wall to be built between Jiayu Pass, East Pass and West Pass, known as "Zhongguan", to block the enemy's advance after the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty broke through the West Pass.

In addition, Zhou Zheng also had the Dongguan of Jiayu Pass renovated, because Dongguan was to defend against enemy forces in the direction of the Guan, once the troops of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty broke through the West Pass, the Dongguan was actually abolished.

For this reason, under the order of Zhou Zheng, the soldiers demolished the approach road to the city wall inside the Dongguan and installed the approach road to the city wall on the outer wall of the pass.

In this way, Dongguan can defend against the enemy who breaks through the "Middle Pass", which is equivalent to Zhou Zheng laying three passes at Jiayu Pass for the attacking Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army, and the other party must occupy these three passes if they want to break through Jiayu Pass.

Now, the heavy snow in Kansai has finally fallen, which will bring great trouble to the enemy army besieging the city, especially the vast and sparsely populated Kansai, coupled with the fact that the people have fled their homes to avoid the war, it is not easy for the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army besieging Jiayuguan to catch the people as cannon fodder.

"Lord Wang, I just received the news that someone took advantage of the heavy snow to enter the private school last night and left quickly, because the wind and snow were too big, our people didn't follow in order to avoid startling the snake."

Just when Li Yuntian was thinking about the battle in Jiayuguan, Lin Xin walked in and whispered to him, and the private school in her mouth naturally referred to the one opened by Yang Xingzhi.

"Keep watching!" Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, although he didn't catch the person who entered the private school, but this also proved that there was indeed a problem with the private school, and no one would brave the wind and snow at night to ask Yang Xingzhi for advice on the problem of "Zhihu Ye"!

"Lord Wang, are you transferring Yun Na away?" Lin Xin pondered for a moment, and looked at Li Yuntian with some concern, "I found that she is very scheming, and now she has been confirmed to be a spy of Beiyuan, so it is better not to stay by your side." ”

"I can't touch her yet, she is an important chess piece in the hands of this king, and she will play an unexpected role at that time." Li Yuntian knew that Lin Xin was worried that Yun Na would not be good for him, so he smiled at Lin Xin, "Don't worry, she is just an intern staff officer, and she has no chance to get close to this king." ”

"By the way, you go and arrange it, wait for the snow to stop and invite Lord Lu and his wife, this king has been in Qinglong City for so long, thanks to the care of their husband and wife." Then, Li Yuntian remembered something and opened his mouth to order Lin Xin.

"My subordinates understand." Lin Xin's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and she knew that Li Yuntian was going to start testing the relationship between Yun Na and Youlan.

According to the information that Lin Xin has so far, Youlan and Yun Na's living habits are not the same, for example, Youlan likes to eat sweets, while Yun Na likes spicy food, and it is impossible to judge the relationship between the two.

Therefore, since Li Yuntian has determined that Yun Na is a spy of the Northern Yuan, the next step is to test Youlan to determine whether the two are sisters or not, which will be of great benefit to Li Yuntian's future plans.

Two days later, in the evening, Li Yuntian set up a banquet at his residence to invite Lu Minen and Youlan, since he came to Qinglong City, Lu Minen and Youlan have not bothered much, and it is logical for Li Yuntian to invite the two to dinner.

Lu Minen is no stranger to Li Yuntian's family banquets, when he was in the capital, Li Yuntian often called the generals of the Xiaowu Army to his house for dinner and gathering, which invisibly narrowed the relationship between the two sides.

Because it is wartime now, Li Yuntian drank some wine with Lu Minen and Youlan, although the prohibition of alcohol during the war was a rule set by Li Yuntian for the Xiaowu Army, but the situation in Qinglong City was quite special, and under this boring life, Li Yuntian revoked the prohibition and limited the supply of alcohol to the army.

After the dinner, according to the convention, it is entertainment time, and the content of entertainment is naturally to play the free card, which has become a mainstream leisure way in the upper class society of the Ming Dynasty, and is also popular with the people, even the concubines in the palace have a soft spot for the free card.

"Sir, wait a minute, don't win the prince." Before the start of the game, taking advantage of Li Yuntian's opportunity to go to the toilet, Youlan whispered to Lu Minen, who was skillfully shuffling the cards there, although Li Yuntian said that there was no respect in the card field, but Li Yuntian was the prince after all, if he won, it would definitely not be good.

"You don't understand this, the prince's card skills are superb, even ten husbands can't win him, usually the prince deliberately loses money to his brothers." Lu Minen suddenly smiled when he heard this, he knew that Youlan was for his good, so he explained with a smile, "I forgot to tell you that this free card and gameplay were thought up by the prince, and no one can compare the card skills." ”

"I see." Youlan suddenly realized, she never thought that Li Yuntian would still have such a relationship with Xiaoyaopai, it seems that her previous worries were superfluous, and at the same time, she also realized that the relationship between Lu Minen and Li Yuntian was very harmonious.

"Min-eun, how long has it been since we've played together?" At this moment, Li Yuntian walked in from outside the door with a smile and asked Lu Minen.

"It's been five or six years since I came to Kansai." Lu Minen thought about it and replied with a smile.

"Yes, time flies so fast, you've been in this place full of yellow sand for so long, it's really hard." Li Yuntian couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard this, over the years, Lu Minen has carefully managed the Qinglong Camp of the Xiaowu Army in Guanxi, but it has taken a lot of effort.

"This is the duty of the lower officials, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the prince." Lu Minen's heart suddenly warmed, and he was already satisfied with Li Yuntian's affirmation.

"This king can tell you one thing now, the first emperor has given permission, and the Jiangwutang will set up a governor's mansion in the Western Regions to govern the affairs of the Western Regions, I wonder if you are interested in becoming the first governor?" Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, "It's just that in this case, you will continue to suffer from this wind and sand." ”

"Lord Wang, the lower officials are willing to continue to stay in the Western Regions to give the Ming Dynasty." Hearing that Li Yuntian was going to set up the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, Lu Minen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded hurriedly and said, his expression was quite excited.

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions were under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, but with the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions became a paradise for foreign races, and as a military attaché, he naturally wanted to recover the Western Regions.

In fact, long before Lu Minen and other generals of the Xiaowu Army came to Guanxi, Li Yuntian mentioned to them that the Ming Dynasty wanted to recreate the glory of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and Lu Minen and others felt that it would take a long time, but from the current situation, it seems that as long as the Ming Dynasty wins the war in the Western Regions, then the Western Regions Governor's Mansion will be established, and the Ming Dynasty will take advantage of this victory to establish a new order in the Western Regions.

Youlan looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, she never thought that Da Ming would have such ambitions in the Western Regions, but Da Ming really had the strength to dominate the Western Regions, otherwise the Xiaowu army of Qinglong City would not have gained a firm foothold in Kansai so quickly.

"With you in the Western Regions, this king is relieved." Li Yuntian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and his eyes showed a look of approval.

Lu Minen has been in Kansai for such a long time, and he already has a good understanding of the situation in the Western Regions, if someone else is in command of the Western Regions army, it will take a period of time to run in, Li Yuntian doesn't want to waste time.

Besides, he has no suitable candidate to come to the Western Regions except for Lu Minen, and those high-ranking generals of the Xiaowu Army have a mess of things to do, and they can't be transferred at all.

"Lord Wang, what do you think of Yun Na?" Just when Li Yuntian, Lu Minen, and Youlan were talking and laughing there, Lin Xin led Yun Na in and said to Li Yuntian with a smile.

Yun Na was led by Lin Xin to play cards with her, because this is the first time Yun Na has participated in this kind of activity, it is Lin Xin who deliberately "promotes" her, you must know that the opportunity to play cards with Li Yuntian is very rare.

"Don't be inhibited, you can win when you have to win." Li Yuntian glanced at Yun Na and commanded with a smile.

"Obedience." Yun Na hurriedly bowed to Li Yuntian, she had already heard her colleagues say that she had to go all out when playing cards with Li Yuntian, which could actually be seen as a kind of tempering of her heart.

Li Yuntian heard that the corners of his mouth showed a subtle smile, although Yun Na and Youlan were well concealed, like two strangers, but when Yun Na entered the room, the surprise and excitement in the eyes of the two of them were still clearly captured by him, so the relationship between the two was self-evident.

"Lord Wang, do you see any clues?"

In the night card game, Li Yuntian and Lu Minen and others had a lot of fun, and after sending Lu Minen and Youlan away, Lin Xin asked Li Yuntian, she didn't see anything different between the two, Youlan and Yunna behaved very normally, completely strangers.

"The two of them are sisters!" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, I have to say that Youlan and Yun Na covered it up very well, but unfortunately when the two met, they inadvertently revealed a flaw, and this flaw happened to be caught by him.

"Will Youlan be bad for Lord Lu?" Lin Xin's face suddenly became serious, and she looked at Li Yuntian worriedly, knowing that Lu Minen did not have the slightest suspicion about Youlan.

"No, Youlan already has feelings for Lord Lu, plus the two of them already have children, she can't be ruthless to Lord Lu." Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, shook his head and said to Lin Xin, Lu Minen took good care of Youlan, and from Youlan's eyes looking at Lu Minen, Li Yuntian knew that she had fallen in love with Lu Minen.

Even if Youlan can kill Lu Minen ruthlessly, she has to think about her child, so that her son will not only lose his parents, but also will not be recognized by Lu Minen's family, and live in the shadow of pain for the rest of his life, which is definitely not what Youlan wants to see.
