Half a month later.

Jia Changzhu and Zhao Chengchuan organized the Anfu army, and Jia Hong gathered 600 elite troops and left Ganzhou Prefecture.

As for Yao Yuan's logistics team, only half of them left. Those who remained in Ganzhou were led by Jia Changping.

A few days later, Jia Hong led his team west out of Jiayuguan. The cavalry was very fast and galloped through the Gobi Desert. No one was in sight.

This was already the westernmost section of the Great Wall. After a brief supply stop, the Anfu Army rushed towards Yumen without stopping.

By March, the Anfu Army's team had arrived near Zhenyuan Prefecture.

This place is already in a basin oasis, and the melted snow from Barkol Mountain flows into rivers. The environment is actually more beautiful than the previous desert Gobi.

Along the way, Jia Hong could see many nomads and villages, and occasionally camel caravans carrying cantaloupes heading south.

This area already belonged to the border between the Wu Dynasty and the Moxi Khanate. Due to the existence of Zhenyuan Prefecture, it was tentatively considered to be within the control of the Wu Dynasty.

In this world line, there used to be a nomadic khanate across Europe and Asia established by the Mongols. The Moxi Khanate, the Guge Khanate, and Mobei, which is now controlled by the Wu Dynasty, were all born out of this nomadic khanate.

Mobei, also known as Outer Mongolia as Jia Hong knew it, is still actually governed by Mongolian princes, although it has submitted to the Wu Dynasty.

However, there was another area under the jurisdiction of General Mobei, which was garrisoned and managed by General Mobei sent by the imperial court. General Mobei has more power than the governors of individual provinces and has direct authority to command the army.

Arriving at Zhenyuan City, Jia Hong waited and watched for a while on his horse.

It was quite lively outside the city, with tents erected here and there a few hundred meters away, and people coming and going, forming a small market.

Zhenyuan City itself is not big, with only soldiers and logistics teams coming in and out. It is completely a military city.

There is a small moat on the edge of the city. The outer wall is a solid wall of rammed earth, nearly two feet high. There are four forts on the front. There are many soldiers patrolling the female wall.。

“Take a break! Rest where you are! "

After Jia Hong gave the order, he asked the Anfu army to stop outside the city first.

Then, he led more than ten soldiers into Zhenyuan City.

There is Zhenyuan Mansion in the city, which temporarily governs the surrounding civil affairs and border army exchanges.

In addition, there are They are all military buildings, all arranged neatly, and the outside is also covered with rammed loess walls. There are a few decent ones, which are either ordnance, grain and grass warehouses, or officers' residences. From what Jia Hong has learned before, Zhenyuan City currently has the

most It can accommodate four to five thousand soldiers.

It seems that the barracks are not full at present, but Jia Hong does not intend to let the Anfu army squeeze in.

After all, including the baggage and logistics, the Anfu army has a lot of people. It is estimated that such a small city fortress It was so crowded that it was better to set up camp outside the city.

When he arrived at the Fushang office, Jia Hong walked in and was led by soldiers to the guarded room.。

“The Anfu Army of the First Division led the army, and Ganzhou garrison Jia Hong came to Zhenyuan to report. Hearing this

, the Zhenyuan garrison hurriedly raised his hands and returned the greeting: "Master Jia, I have admired you for a long time!"”

“Sit, sit. "The guard raised his hand and said.

Jia Hong sat down with him, and the Zhenyuan guard added: "I have received an order from the general before and learned that Jia Shen is coming.。”

“There is no need to worry about grain and grass. The allocation has been stepped up recently, and there is also a surplus of grain and grass in Zhenyuan Warehouse.

Jia Hong said politely: "I'd like to thank you, sir. " The barracks in the city don't seem to be enough. Our Anfu army can be stationed outside the city.。”

“Yao Yuan! "Jia Hong shouted。

“The official is here!

Jia Hong then said to the Zhenyuan garrison: "This Yao Yuan is my adjutant, and he manages the daily logistics. " Now Zhenyuan Military City must also step up its expansion. Your Excellency, you can deploy manpower at will.。”

“After being stationed, the Anfu Army will only have a few hundred logistics left. In a short period of time, I only need to scout near Zhenyuan. If you want to go deep into the hinterland of Moxi, I will explain it to you then.

The Zhenyuan garrison was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jia! " In this way, the pressure of grain transportation and fortress expansion in Zhenyuan City will indeed be much less!”

“I just want to remind Mr. Jia: This place is only a few hundred miles away from Huozhou and Dihua. In the northwest of Bogda Mountain, there are often light cavalry from Mobei cruising. Regarding the investigation, please be more careful and don’t rush in! "

Jia Hong nodded repeatedly when he heard the words. The two places he pointed to: one was in the Turpan Basin and the other was in what was later to be Urumqi. Both were already under the control of the Mobei Khanate.。

“I understand, thank you for reminding me! "

After that, Jia Hong communicated with the guards for a while, and then left the city. After

coming out of the city, Jia Hong led his troops to the edge of the oasis.

Jia Changzhu arranged the troops to camp and sent out scouts for reconnaissance and patrolling; Yao Yuan again Lifu was sent to saw wood and chop firewood, and the leading soldiers started cooking.

A few days later, a military town camp that began to take shape was formed here.

After the base camp was established, Jia Hong pointed out fifty cavalry, one hundred paces and two hundred The lightly-armed logistics team personally led the troops to the north.

For the task of stationing troops in the important area, Jia Hong naturally had a good choice in mind, but after all, he had never actually been there, so he still had to conduct on-site inspections to give Emperor Jianlong and the Fourteenth Master a thorough understanding.。
