“What is the situation on Fumeng Lingcha’s side?” Dusong Mangpoje asked as he put down the tea cup.

“Replying to Milord: our people disguised as Hu merchants have been keeping an eye on the Qixi Protectorate headquarters this entire time,” the kneeling messenger said. “In addition, we also requested the aid of the Arabs in keeping watch. We just received word that Fumeng Lingcha has already left the protectorate headquarters and is currently heading toward the front lines on the plateau.”

“And what of Gao Xianzhi?” Dusong Mangpoje said.

Along the northern edge of the plateau, the Ü-Tsang Empire only cared about two people: Fumeng Lingcha and Gao Xianzhi. These two Imperial Great Generals were not that far from each other, and they could reinforce each other if the situation called for it.

“Gao Xianzhi is currently vigorously training his soldiers in preparation for battle. Based on the reports from our spies in Anxi, he’s likely planning to attack the kingdoms west of the Cong Mountains, so he should have no time to worry about Qixi. In addition, the relationship between Gao Xianzhi and Fumeng Lingcha has never been good. It has always been Qixi going to the aid of Anxi, and Anxi will rarely go to the aid of Qixi. The chance of this happening is extremely low.” The scout gave his honest assessment.

“Then let’s move out. There’s no need to worry about General Dayan. I will help him keep an eye on Fumeng Lingcha. Without the threat of Fumeng Lingcha, General Dayan shouldn’t encounter any problems.”

Dusong Mangpoje gave a faint smile as he pushed aside his tea cup and rose, walking out of the black tent.

His army rumbled, kicking up its own cloud of dust as it set off for the northern lines.

……

“Hurry! Pour the solder!”

“It’s in the wrong position. Move the second module to the left a little.”

“Keep going! The second level is nearly complete! Hurry and get the beehives ready.”

In the northeast corner of the Tibetan Plateau, at the triangular gap, the eight to nine thousand craftsmen were working like bees. In the course of several hours, a small-scale ‘City of Steel’ had emerged, glimmering with a silvery light as it took shape.

This was a mini-fortress, much smaller than Wushang’s City of Steel, around one-twentieth the size.

Although it was small, as a military fort, it was enough to hold around fifty thousand soldiers, more than enough for Wang Chong’s purposes.

Wang Chong had arrived at this number after careful thought. Moreover, this fortress was constructed on that triangular gap on the northeast corner of the Tibetan Plateau, preventing the Tibetans from using it to enter and exit the plateau.

However, the Great Tang was capable of using the triangular gap to enter the fort so that it could be defended against Ü-Tsang. If all went as expected, this would be the first fortress between the Great Tang and Ü-Tsang.

Wang Chong’s modular construction method once more displayed its might. In some few hours, a fortress was beginning to slowly rise from the plateau out of nothing.

Although the construction was still not complete, two levels had been finished. With each floor being three meters tall, the total of six meters was already enough to grant it some basic defensive capabilities.
