However, Li Chang'an did not intend to remain idle; he had already arranged for Zhuge Liang to procure provisions.
Once the refugees have formed an army, they will launch a war against the Western Rong grasslands.
Two counties in Shazhou are still in the hands of foreign tribes. Gaochang County has been turned into a pasture by the Western Rong, and Dunhuang County is in the hands of the Northern Mang and is in a semi-independent state.
After the spring, it will be time to fight the Western Rong!
Northern Liang.
Li Yishan and Xu Xiao both had perpetually worried expressions.
"Your Highness, Li Chang'an has stabilized Shazhou and also wiped out more than a dozen experts from Northern Mang."
Even Hong Jingyan, the master of chess and sword music, was defeated in Shazhou.
Xu Xiao's face was gloomy. "Li Chang'an has won the hearts of the people of Shazhou, and the refugees of Qingcang also have the desire to submit to him."
"If he builds Shazhou into an impregnable fortress, even I can't do anything to him."
The more they talked, the more amazed they became, and the more incredible it seemed.
"More than half of the three-year period has passed, and I wonder how Feng Nian is doing."
Xu Fengnian, who claimed to be a wanderer of the martial world, was currently under the strict supervision of Ba Linglong, having traveled to most of Liyang.
Staying in each place for no more than a month made it impossible to find Fushui House.
Xu Xiao suddenly sighed, "If Li Chang'an could return Feng Nian, perhaps we and Shazhou wouldn't necessarily be enemies."
Upon hearing this, Li Yishan suddenly laughed, "Your Highness has misunderstood."
"Are you willing to marry the eldest princess to Li Chang'an?"
“In Feng Nian’s heart, Li Chang’an is a mortal enemy, and Feng Nian will inherit Bei Liang sooner or later.”
"Your Highness, there is absolutely no possibility of peace between us and Shazhou."
Xu Xiao's expression suddenly froze, then his face twitched, and he regained his usual ruthlessness.
"I was just saying, but it's either you die or I perish between us and Shazhou."
Northern Wilderness.
Inside the Great General's residence, a rugged man who looked like a peasant sat at the head of the table.
General Zhong Shentong was also seated below.
The one sitting at the head of the table is none other than Tuoba Pusa, the military god of Northern Mang!
"Geng Louzi, Zhong Liang, and Fifth He all died in Shazhou?"
Zhong Shentong looked grief-stricken; he still couldn't believe it.
"My lord, I suspect that Xu Xiao may have been secretly helping us!"
"Otherwise, how could my younger brother and Genglouzi have been killed so easily!"
Tuoba Pusa looked at a thin middle-aged man and slowly said, "I heard that it was Li Chang'an who killed Hong Jingyan."
This man was none other than Li Mibi, the leader of the Northern Mang intelligence agency Spider Web, also known as the Shadow Prime Minister of Northern Mang.
"My lords, this news is circulating all over Shazhou, so it should be true."
Tuoba Pusa frowned, his mood even more complicated. "Another expert has emerged in the Northwest."
"Anyone capable of killing Hong Jingyan, even if they don't have the cultivation of a terrestrial immortal, is not far off."
Zhong Shentong angrily said, "If that's the case, isn't this person even more despicable than Xu Xiao? He must be a major threat to our Northern Barbarian Kingdom!"
"This son must not be kept!"
Tuoba Pusa said, "No, Beiliang is making frequent moves now, so we can't act rashly."
Zhong Shentong said, "Are we just going to lose over a dozen of our experts for nothing?!"
Tuoba Pusa said, "Please, Mr. Li, investigate the intelligence of Shazhou first."
"This time, we were unaware of the enemy's situation, which is why we suffered such heavy losses."
"If we rashly venture into the sandbar again and suffer another great loss, who will be responsible!"
Once Tuoba Bodhisattva set the tone, no one dared to object to the cultivation of supernatural powers.
Li Mibi bowed his head and accepted the mission to investigate Shazhou.
Li Chang'an had a very pleasant winter because the Northern Mang had not sent anyone to retaliate.
The main reason is that Bei Liang has been making frequent moves, which makes Bei Mang very worried.
The 200,000 refugees in Qingcang have all become obedient subjects under Li Chang'an's rule.
Li Chang'an prioritized sending officials from the remnants of Western Shu to govern Qingcang, which resulted in much less resistance.
Currently, Li Chang'an commands three thousand Xuanjia soldiers, three thousand Baima Yicong, two thousand Baifei soldiers, two thousand Modao soldiers, and five thousand Guiyi soldiers.
These 15,000 men were an army that incorporated elite models.
There are still 5,000 Guiyi soldiers who have not yet been integrated into the template.
The newly surrendered army of 100,000 Qingcang refugees also lacked a fusion template.
Therefore, Li Chang'an had a total of 120,000 troops under his command, of which 15,000 were integrated into the template.
The complete stabilization of the five prefectures of Shazhou and the rapid expansion of military strength propelled Li Chang'an into the top ten in terms of power.
Zhuge Liang diligently governed Shazhou, bringing many vital industries under government control, thus significantly improving his ranking in terms of wealth.
Li Chang'an broke through to the late stage of the Finger Profound Realm, and his actual combat strength was almost invincible below the Earth Immortal level.
Even including those reclusive old monsters, Li Chang'an's martial prowess ranks fifteenth.
As for the ranking of romantic figures, it would be much easier for Li Chang'an to improve it, since he had already done it once in his previous life.
By casually displaying his calligraphy and painting skills from his previous life, Li Chang'an's reputation for being both a scholar and a warrior spread far and wide, and his literary and artistic ranking even exaggeratedly entered the top ten!
Thanks to the significant progress made in many aspects, Li Chang'an ushered in the system's settlement at the beginning of spring.

At this stage, with a year to go before Xu Fengnian is released, the priority should still be strengthening military power.
Therefore, Li Chang'an plans to exchange for the elite soldier template to expand the army's strength.
At least 20,000 elite soldiers with fusion templates must be among the 100,000 refugee army.
This will, on the one hand, further ensure loyalty.
On the other hand, when veterans mentor new recruits, the overall combat capability of the soldiers will also be greatly improved!
Chapter 217 Celestial Phenomena and Huo Qubing's Bloody Battle Against the Western Rong!
In just over half a year, Li Chang'an's troops increased from 20,000 to 120,000.
The news spread quickly, making the Northern Liang, Northern Mang, and Li Yang courts uneasy.
The Li Yang court repeatedly hinted to Xu Xiao that he should send troops to deal with Li Chang'an.
However, Xu Xiao couldn't reveal that his son was in Li Chang'an's hands, so he could only keep delaying the matter.
[Spend 20000 Mortal Points to exchange for 2 Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry!]
These Tang cavalry, like the Tang Guiyi Army, were all eighth-rank military troops.
Although they cannot compare to the Xuanjia Army, Baiyu Soldiers, Modao Soldiers, and Baima Righteous Cavalry, who are all fourth-rank military officers, they are still much stronger than the Northern Liang cavalry.
After several months of training, the refugee army has now become a fighting force of 100,000.
Of the 100,000 men, half were cavalry and half were infantry. Li Chang'an dispersed and integrated 20,000 Tang cavalry into 50,000 cavalry.
Of Li Chang'an's 120,000 troops, 35,000 were elite soldiers who had integrated the template.
This army's combat strength is comparable to that of the 350,000 troops of the Northern Liang.
With the remaining eight thousand worldly points, Li Chang'an exchanged them for another cavalry general.
[Spend 6000 Mortal Points to exchange for the general Huo Qubing!]
Zhang Yichao led 10,000 Guiyi Army soldiers to be stationed in Yumen, specifically to deter and gradually erode the indigenous people.
