Bi Xili and Lei Juetian exchanged knowing glances and smiled faintly. Pu Tiancheng's appetite is really big. It seems that transferring him back is indeed the right choice. Compared with Yaning's calmness and strength, Pu Tiancheng wants to fight* * Stronger, with more changes in tactics, which may be quite necessary for the current Machikhan.
However, Bixili did not explain anything to his beloved general at this time, and instead turned his gaze to the silent Mingzhong's face, "Mingzhong, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I think what Tiancheng said makes sense. Of course, Tiancheng may have just returned from the front line and doesn't fully understand our recent preparations, but I also think that we have made so many preparations. When should we choose the most appropriate time to send troops? ?" As the general of Anguo, after the situation on the Milan front line eased, Mingzhong and Yaning stepped up the recruitment of soldiers in the local area to expand and train the army. It should be said that the training effect was quite good, especially the financial support provided by the Khanate. The combat effectiveness of the two newly formed corps has been greatly improved.
"At the moment, we don't know whether there is any secret agreement between Situ Tai and Situ Biao. And Li Wufeng clearly noticed Situ Biao's instability by assuming this posture. Now Situ Biao has three legions of regular personnel in his hands. The army, especially the fifth and sixth legions, is the backbone of the Tanghe Empire's seven old regular army legions. Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as the Tanghe people's first and second legions, these two legions are now fully serving Situ. Biao, and Situ Biao has recently spared no effort in replenishing the various materials and weapons of these two legions. It should be said that these two legions are still capable of fighting. Although the battle for Wen Ning cannot explain anything, it can also be understood. One or two. Mr. Tulu didn’t talk about this news just now. But I am sure that Li Wufeng is also trying to win over Situ Biao through diplomatic channels. At the very least, he needs to keep Situ Biao neutral, so Situ Biao’s attitude is very important. .”
"If Situ Biao and Situ Tai come together, then we should not hesitate to join them in launching an attack on Li Wufeng. And if Situ Biao finally rejects Situ Tai, then no matter whether he forms an alliance with Li Wufeng or remains neutral, we will We should launch an attack on the Five Lakes. As Mr. Lei said, everything we are doing now is to strengthen our strength as quickly as possible, so that we can have the power to dominate the Eastern Continent in the future, and now I, Anjie Province , Yuejing Province has been fully integrated into our Khanate, and Ronisia Province has basically solved all outstanding issues. The domestic situation is stable, while our periphery is raging with war, and the two powers are fighting fiercely. This is our opportunity. So it should be said that we are in a pretty good situation now, and how to choose the plan that best suits our interests requires careful consideration based on changes in the situation."
As expected of General Anguo, Mingzhong's words immediately aroused the attention of everyone in the room. How to maximize the interests of the Makkhi Khanate in this civil war with its powerful neighbor in the north has always been the focus of discussion. Whether to join the Western Xinjiang side or not. Joining the Situ family is also a focus of debate among all parties. Both Xijiang and the Situ family have sent people to contact them. Although the conditions offered by both sides are different, one thing that is clear is that they hope that the Machi Khans can point their swords in other directions.
Situ Tai naturally hoped that the Maci Khans could make a breakthrough in Sanjiang and the peninsula, and even offered to recognize the sovereignty of the entire Sanjiang County and peninsula as bait. However, the conditions offered by the envoys sent by Li Wufeng were much weaker, and they were only willing to recognize their own sovereignty. The right to move freely in the southern and eastern regions, but the Nanyang Alliance in the south and the Kingdom of Milan in the east are not fuel-efficient lamps. The conditions offered by Li Wufeng are more like driving away tigers and devouring wolves, so that his side will no longer have time to intervene in the Tanghe Empire Civil War. This seems to be a bit unpalatable to our side. The Western Xinjiang people have always refused the Machihan people's request to obtain the entire Sanjiang County and Laigong as compensation for not participating in the Tanghe Civil War. This also caused the two sides to argue over this issue.
Deep down, apart from the fact that Pu Tiancheng had just returned from the Sanjiang front and did not understand much about the situation, Ming Zhong and Yaning, who had succeeded Pu Tiancheng as the garrison of the entire East Sanjiang and Ronisia, did not agree with directly declaring war on Li Wufeng. In their view, they will try to avoid direct conflicts with Western Xinjiang in the near future and avoid attacking the weak. Expanding the territory and national power of the Maci Khan is the first priority. Supporting Mingzhong and Yaning is Ben Song, the commander of the Royal Forest Army. They are more inclined to annex the Wuhu area as soon as possible and then get involved in Jiangnan. After all, these two places are important to all the Maci Khans. It is a dream, and once occupied, the improvement of the entire Macchi Khan's national strength will not be the same as that of Anjie, Yuejing and Ronisia. On this point, they have considerable differences with the group headed by Bixili. In Bixili's view, Western Xinjiang is the enemy of Maci Khan's survival in the future. No matter how they develop, the Maci Khan people will not be able to catch up with this huge monster after Western Xinjiang unified the Tang River. Therefore, they can only unite all the allies that can be united as soon as possible and completely It is in Machi Khan's best interests to destroy the military power of Western Xinjiang and completely collapse the ruling system of Xinjiang.
What Ming Zhong said just now undoubtedly proposed a compromise for the two factions, that is, if Situ Biao joins Situ Tai's side, it means that the Situ family has officially united, and will initially have the strength to fight against Xijiang. Machi Khan can also join this alliance, and if Situ Biao rejects Situ Tai's alliance, then Li Wufeng will definitely win the final victory in the war against Situ Tai. It would be inconvenient for Machi Khan to join Situ Tai. It will draw the war southward and implicate itself, and it will also lose the best opportunity to annex the five lakes. The suggestion put forward by Mingzhong was exactly in line with the outcome agreed between Bixili and the Minister of State Lei Juetian, who had never expressed his attitude. It was also in line with the views of several military generals who had always been cautious.
"Tiancheng, Mingzhong, and Marshal Bensong, it seems that we have reached a consensus on which side to join in order to best serve the interests of our Ma Qihan. Tiancheng just came back from the front and probably hasn't made any arrangements for us yet. It is clear that the civil strife in the Tanghe Empire is a good opportunity for us. No matter which side we join, the first thing we need to consider is how much benefit Machi Khan can gain while avoiding risks. Of course, this requires mastering a middle degree. , General Mingzhong also said just now that if Situ Tai alone wants to challenge Li Wufeng, even with the support of the Duodun people, it may be difficult to win unless all the Liberians, including Kaman, Poole and Sisluo, But now the Kaman and Puer people are severely injured and unable to send troops, and the Hesi Luo people admire Li Wufeng's breath, so it is very important which side Situ Biao stands on, but according to my opinion, Situ Biao Although this person has two counselors, he may not be able to take a decisive attitude to join Situ Tai's side, and may eventually adopt neutrality. In this way, it seems that we can only send troops to the five lakes. Of course, there is another variable in this, which is the The direction of Cheng Dayou between Situ Tai and Situ Biao may also affect the actions of Situ Biao and Situ Tai. Therefore, the Great Khan's opinion is that the intelligence department must grasp the relationship between Situ Tai and Situ Biao at all costs in the shortest possible time. Whether there is a secret agreement between them, we also need to pay close attention to the attitude of Cheng Dayou."
Although Lei Juetian, the birthday boy, drank a few glasses of wine, his thinking was stimulated to become more agile and his words became richer, "As long as we can determine the direction of Situ Biao's attitude, we can determine the direction of sending troops. Before that, we need to prepare at the same time from Ronisia to the peninsula and from Yuejing to the Five Lakes. If Situ Biao does not join the Situ Tai group, then we will go straight to the Five Lakes and completely defeat Situ Biao. To quickly take over the Wuhu area, the intelligence department's deployment in this area must be fully mobilized. Now is the time to use them; if Situ Biao joins Situ Tai's front, then we will go all out to march westward to the peninsula. Take the peninsula area, support the original forces on the peninsula under our control, and then use the opportunity to move the entire army north to capture Tiannan and Sanjiang. This way we can have two roads to choose from and have a lot more room for maneuver."
"Jue Tian is right. There are two plans for us to choose from. This can also prevent us from being at a loss once the situation changes. No matter which plan we take this time, it will be the largest military operation since I took the throne. Therefore, I am ready to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized. In addition to the First Yulin Corps, the Third and Fifth Corps stationed in Eastern Xinjiang, and the Ninth, Eleventh and Twelfth Corps stationed in Sanjiang, the newly formed 14th and 10th Corps will The Fifth Corps and the Servant Corps of Yue Jing will all participate in this battle. This battle can be said to be a life and death battle that determines the destiny of our Maci Khan. If we win, perhaps our Maci Khan will be able to dominate the Eastern Continent. If we lose, Maybe we, Machi Khan, will fall into the abyss, but if we are not even willing to face this battle, we Machi Khan people will never be able to truly establish a foothold on the Eastern Continent, so even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we will never We must face it bravely and fight hard!”
The coffee cup jumped lightly as Bixili's thick palm hit the table. The dark brown coffee liquid stirred out with the swinging coffee cup, leaving little marks on the desk. The rough and rich voice echoed in the study room. , the eyes of everyone present emitted a strange light almost at this moment, as if they were longing for something, or silently praying for something.
