Baling's recovery in such a way really surprised everyone. The Yue Jing people were able to counterattack at the last moment, which made the three Li sisters, who had always been very low-key in Wu Feng's harem, suddenly become more popular among Wu Feng's counselors. His status has soared among the people and military and political officials, especially in the eyes of military generals. At this time, the affinity shown by the three versatile sisters also won the support of a group of gentry and Confucian scholars in the Xijiang ruling area who were proud of Tanghe culture and art. This made the already fierce battle for the harem even more intense. .
As the domestic situation in the empire gradually became clearer, the threat posed by the Maci Khans to the entire Tanghe clan in the south became increasingly apparent. Especially when Western Xinjiang was still struggling to unify the empire, the Maci Khans had already noticed that the West Once Xinjiang became the orthodox regime of the Tanghe Empire, it would bring threats and pressure to Maci Khan, and they also began to invest in the chess game of obstructing and delaying Xijiang's efforts for this process. The status of Yuejing, a region that has been conquered by the Machi Khans, in the Machi Khanate has risen to a level that even exceeds that of some of the native provinces of the Machi Khans, with a huge grain output of more than 1,000 people. With a population of more than 10,000, coupled with Lei Juetian's effective assimilation policy in the Yue Jing Province, the original hatred against the Machi Khans in this land has been alleviated to a considerable extent, and a group of pro-Maqi Khans have been cultivated. There are vague signs of division among the Khan class and the people in the entire Yuejing area.
The tenacity and tenacity shown by the Yue Jing servant army in the battle for Baling also made both Xijiang and the Machi Khan people feel refreshed. The Machi Khan military, which had always looked down on the Yue Jing servant army, began to attack the Vietnamese army. Jing Pu Congjun took it seriously. Efforts were made to cultivate the pro-Maqi Khan faction in the servant army. While the Western Xinjiang military was surprised by the military potential displayed by the Yue Jing people, it also began to deploy in Yue Jing. There are three sisters of the Li family in Yue Jing. As a flower with increasing appeal and influence in the Beijing region, everyone in the military, including Ling Tianfang, firmly believes that Xijiang can win a more powerful brother and partner and become an important force in the Xijiang army.
Huang Lianyong and Shan Yao had different opinions on whether to continue pursuing the Machi Khans who were fleeing south. Shan Yao advocated attacking with all his strength. Using offense instead of defense, they gave a head-on blow to the Machikhans who were marching into Balingfu territory. Huang Lianyong believed that the two troops of 20,000 people in Yuejing had just surrendered. Due to worries about his family, the morale of the army was not yet completely stable. However, the Machihan people's vitality is not injured, and there is a main army and a servant army to follow up. In this case, stabilizing Baling should be the first task. To ensure that Baling is not lost, as for the Machi Khans, they have lost the opportunity at this time and have no foothold in Baling Mansion. The final outcome can only be to withdraw to their own territory. There is no need to take such a big risk anymore. Especially when there is a Yue Jing servant corps following up. Once the two sides confront each other, it is difficult to predict how the 20,000 Yue Jing servants who surrendered will react.
At this time, the opinions of Li Zhengyang and Ruan Deyong became very important. After soliciting the opinions of Li and Ruan, Shan Yao finally agreed with the slightly conservative Huang Lianyong's opinion. Li and Ruan also realized that the soldiers would attack once they approached. After the survival crisis disappears, they may think more about it. Under the unified orders of the officers, they may not be able to make other choices for a while, but when the situation calms down and they discover that they have always been a decisive force, they will soon Other ideas may arise.
Fortunately, the Xijiang navy flowing down the Lujiang River somewhat eased the situation. Although the Western Xinjiang naval force is less than 10,000, it plays a vital role in stabilizing the situation in Baling, especially since Baling City has the Red River running through the city. The east and west gates are actually water gates, and the land gates More like an auxiliary gate. The stationing of naval forces helped stabilize and calm the mood of more than 10,000 Vietnamese soldiers who had just woken up from the bloody battle. The Second Division and the Third Division of the First Army also strengthened the defense of Baling City in a timely manner. Ensure safety in the east and south directions of Baling.
At the Jiujiang Shipping Terminal, two figures gradually approached and finally met. Their equally powerful hands held each other, and two equally substantial eyes collided with each other. They met each other after a while, and a series of collisions seemed to Countless sparks splashed out at the moment of intersection, and the turbulent waves that took a long time slowly dived into the long river that was still surging with undercurrents.
"Brother Dayou?"
"Brother Chongxin?"
"Haha, Brother Dayou is indeed the general who is most highly praised by Lord Bo. When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation." Liang Chongxin's deep eyes were filled with undisguised admiration and praise, occasionally mixed with a hint of surprise, and everything was surprising. He has a plain face and is wearing simple clothes. In addition to the slight depth that makes people feel that this person is slightly different from ordinary people, it is also the hint of sinisterness in his eyes that makes people feel a little uncomfortable. It's no wonder that if he didn't hide deeper among the fanatical rebels of the Taiping Religion, he might not be able to survive, and then he would hide under Situ Lang's wings. It's really hard to keep your own strength from being annexed and have to deal with various forces.
"Brother Chongxin, thank you very much. We are the iron-blooded heroes of Western Xinjiang. Brother Chongxin and Mr. Cui join hands and are the best soldiers in our Tanghe clan. You will definitely benefit a lot if you have the opportunity to consult brother Chongxin." It's shallow, which is also a great blessing for Dayou." Perhaps his face looked a little blue due to too much worry and fatigue in the early stage. The Jiujiang commander's complexion did not look very healthy, but the occasional energetic look between his eyebrows proved that this weather-beaten commander The soldiers were not affected much by these twists and turns.
Cheng Dayou is also very interested in this strange man who has risen among the military heroes in Western Xinjiang. Li Wufeng's legendary fortune is said to have been attributed to Liang Chongxin's surprise attack in the first battle with the Luobei people. The guy rose rapidly and won many battles, from suppressing the rebels to competing with the Taiping Army, from repeatedly defeating the Luobi people to competing with the Kaman people. His undefeated record established that he was unrivaled in the Western Xinjiang army. Cui Wenxiu is the only commander of up to ** legions in the entire Western Xinjiang Army who is comparable to him, and this person can be trusted by Li Wufeng in the Western Xinjiang Army, and he can steadily rise to the top. Ranked as the commander of the first legion.
However, from the first look, Cheng Dayou could already feel the unparalleled momentum brought by the other party's handshake when they met. This was purely a feeling. The other party did not deliberately express anything. Those hands felt very soft. There is no murderous aura that has been tempered for a long time on the battlefield, but it is the confidence hidden in this arrogant demeanor that makes people feel like they are standing high on a mountain. Cheng Dayou thought that he would not be angry at anyone with his determination, but Liang Chongxin in front of him did make his mind waver slightly. This was probably the first time he had encountered such a situation. No wonder Li Wufeng could rise to the top. In Western Xinjiang, Cheng Dayou had to admit that there was a considerable gap between himself and his opponent. It was just that one of his subordinates was slightly stronger than him as soon as he came up, not to mention that there was another one who was not as good as his opponent but was even more weird. Cui Wenxiu.
"It's not that Chongxin has been over-rewarded, but that Brother Dayou has been overly humble. To be able to stand proudly in the hinterland of the empire with his own strength, to be born out of peace and invisible in the empire, this kind of civil and military strategy Chongxin is unmatched. I believe Wenxiu will also agree with Chongxin. From Xin's point of view, Chongxin and Wenxiu are nothing more than a soldier. They have never worried about government affairs. Even if they get something, it is only due to the guidance of His Highness the King of Qin. Brother Dayou can move around the five lakes of Heshuo with one shoulder, and achieve this. Even His Highness the King of Qin was filled with admiration for the scenery. Chongxin was overjoyed that Brother Dayou had become a member of the Western Border, but he also had some regrets. If he could not win an opponent like Brother Dayou, wouldn't this battle for the unification of the empire be much more lonely? Ha ha ha ha!"
Although Liang Chongxin's previous words were full of praise, they also pointed to what Cheng Dayou was most proud of. Being able to be so highly praised by the other party, even though Cheng Dayou was deeply scheming, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. However, Liang Chongxin The next few words made Cheng Dayou feel even more gratified. At least his own struggle had enabled the other party to rank him as the strongest opponent. Even Situ Tai, who had hundreds of thousands of good generals, did not place him on the other side. In his eyes, this made Cheng Dayou feel drunk and at the same time even more excited.
Is the battle for imperial unification much lonely? Does that mean that Situ Tai and his like are no longer a problem, and His Highness the King of Qin seems to have no desire to stop at the Empire or even the Eastern Continent? Then my decision was really justified.
Cheng Dayou couldn't help but have a spark in his eyes. The two pillars of the Kaman people have gradually faded. Now it seems that there is only one rookie Claudia who can be mentioned, while most of the Doton and Poole people are mediocre. Off the top of my head, it seems that the only person who can truly be called the Eagle of Liberia is Clausewitz, the legendary genius who heard about the newly resurrected Heathrow Empire. What about the south? Ya Ning seems to be a little old, Ming Zhong is too calm, and Pu Tiancheng is nothing to mention. Maybe I will have the opportunity to meet these people in the near future. Perhaps the only thing that can really attract him is the land in the middle continent. Kutuzov, Frederick, Dayan, Kluv, and Chachin, the famous Chidi general. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to interact with these. How about a real hunting party
A feeling of sympathy slowly rose in Liang Chongxin's chest. This was a friend worth making, a real soldier who longed for war experience rather than results. Although he behaved more like a hybrid in many cases, Liang Chongxin was able to Feeling the desire for war from the jumping eyes of the other party is the most honest confession of a soldier.
