Kruff couldn't help but read the information in his hand carefully. The entire Tik-controlled area was still in a state of extreme chaos. Although it did not encounter much resistance from ordinary Tik people, it was dispersed. A large number of Tik skirmishers are still wandering in the four provinces they just occupied, especially in the Goa province. The guy named Bremer actually adopted this method to deal with it, breaking it into pieces to avoid fighting with his own army. In a head-to-head confrontation, they chose to fight guerrilla warfare in the countryside. This despicable approach was indeed somewhat unexpected, but it caused a lot of trouble to our own side.
According to the intelligence, now should be a good opportunity to regain the entire control area of the Tik people and their vassals in one fell swoop. Although the Tang people sent troops to occupy several provinces such as Lahore, Kruff did not care. There are only a few hundred thousand troops in the De'an area. Within the original sphere of influence of the Tik people, there are only four divisions with less than a hundred thousand men, and they are scattered in several provinces. They are not even the first-rate regular troops of Li Wufeng. Army, Kloof was absolutely certain that these guys could be driven from the land.
But things are often not that simple. In addition to the small-scale guerrilla wars launched by the Tik people in several provinces, the main reason why Kruff has been considering whether to dare to break up with the Tang people. There are now more than 300,000 Luzon troops in the entire Tik-controlled area. The Tik people's guerrilla warfare can only cause some trouble, but it cannot really change the situation. He can completely ignore the countryside for the time being and deploy thirty soldiers. The army of ten thousand launched a raid on several vassal provinces currently controlled by the Tang Dynasty. The first target of attack was Lahore. It is estimated that the goods transferred from Goa should still be there. If they can win it with lightning speed, , the harvest must not be small.
But since then, a full-scale war with the Tang Empire will inevitably break out. Although Li Wufeng has not yet taken the position of Emperor of the Tang Empire, Kruff has always believed that he will not do so before his domestic foundation is stable. A war broke out in the Central Continent thousands of miles away, but intelligence revealed that three divisions of Li Wufeng's Dijerok Army had arrived at Zijingguan at the westernmost tip of Northern Luzon and were about to enter the territory of the Pangzha people. Three other divisions have also entered the Western Region and are expected to enter the Indian region in a week.
There is also an unconfirmed intelligence report that traces of Li Wufeng Rangers have been found in northern India. If this intelligence proves true, it will be a bad sign. Only those who are preparing for a large-scale war will Li Wufeng would only dispatch his Rangers under such circumstances, which also meant that the Tang Dynasty was also preparing for a war offensive, rather than the passive response that focused on defense as originally imagined.
If he had to take action, he had to take action immediately and completely drive out all the Tang Dynasty flies surrounding him, or he had to take immediate measures to build a solid defense system in the four provinces he already controlled. Kruff was a little hard to choose. Before sending troops to the Tik-controlled area. He and Frederick also had a special communication and discussion on this issue. Once they encountered resistance from the Tang people, how would they respond? One thing the two of them agreed on was that they would never cross the Tang Dynasty's previous sphere of influence. But if the Tang army dares to directly cross the line and attack the Luzon army, then the Luzon army can counterattack without any restrictions.
But the problem at hand was obviously different from the original setting. The Tang people did not take the initiative to attack their own army, but they had already exceeded the lines of their own sphere of influence. The Tik people, several provinces that were not originally within their sphere of influence, were under their control. This situation made it difficult for Kruf, the on-site coach, to make a decision. If the Tang people dared to set foot in Goa, Ke Ruf will also launch an attack without hesitation, but now the Tang people have stepped into Goa. But they just took a handful and left, so this possibility was ruled out. Frederick's authorization to Kloof was to make a decision on the spot based on the actual situation, but this language that was too flexible made Kloof somewhat undecided.
This question has been bothering Kruve, but he knows that he can no longer hesitate. No matter what decision he makes, it is far better than doing nothing now. Kloof found that there was still a gap between himself and his cousin. If Frederick was here, he would have made a decision long ago. After making a difficult decision, Kloof decided to maintain the status quo for the time being. It touched the bottom line of the Tang people, but the four provinces already under their control must immediately increase their purge efforts to completely wipe out those damn Tik skirmishers from this land.
Cui Wenxiu had to grit her teeth and gasp for air when she came out of Prince Qin's palace. I originally planned to just take the strength of the Indian Army from the opponent's hands and incorporate it into the system of the Mainland Front Army. I didn't expect that His Highness King Qin would be so generous and not only hand over Ying Jianming's Indian Army and the Andean Army to himself, but he would also The two ranger regiments that had marched westward from the Tengger Grassland to the northern part of the Indian Kingdom were also suddenly handed over to their Central Continent Front Army, allowing the army under their control to reach as many as 400,000. With the newly appointed Empire According to Ling Tianfang, Privy Council Zuo Privy Envoy, this is the first time in the history of the empire that such a large group army has been formed.
Before Cui Wenxiu's joy had passed, he was stunned by the next two words of His Highness King Qin. Half of the 400,000-strong army was self-funded. This was a blow to the head and made Cui Wenxiu feel breathless.
The consumption of 200,000 troops is not a small amount. Although the Indian Army is borne by the Indian Kingdom, the extra 100,000 troops have to be raised out of thin air. Cui Wenxiu also understands this. The implication of His Highness King Qin's words is that he should extract money from the central government of the Indian Kingdom instead of raising money from the local governments. His Highness the King of Qin obviously regarded himself as a veteran criminal who was good at extortion. This feeling made Cui Wenxiu feel very depressed. In the eyes of the Lord, he had always been upright and had "degenerated" into a villain-like figure. Liang Chong Guys like Xin and Mulige have become loyal and kind-hearted people. How can this make Cui Wenxiu feel balanced
What made Cui Wenxiu feel even more pressured was the cautious manner in which His Highness the King of Qin handed over the 400,000 troops to him. Both Luzon and the Hansen Alliance had extended their black hands to the fertile land of the Indian Kingdom. Although the Empire The predecessor of Western Xinjiang has already taken the lead and advantage in the Indian Kingdom, but that is only in the central and northern Indian region and the eastern Indian region. In the western Indian region, the Hansen Alliance seems to have controlled It lived in the territory of the Yakuans, and was still spreading its influence to the surrounding areas. It tried its best to spread its influence to the two provinces controlled by the Mish tribe, and it had already annexed the Principality of Komini and became the Kingdom of Luzon. The Luzon people not only accepted the Ruchar Province, the heritage of the Komini people in the South Indian region, but also increased their efforts to penetrate into the South Indian region. It seems that they have already conquered the entire South Indian region. A posture that is included in the bag.
Cui Wenxiu didn't know why His Highness the King of Qin was unwilling to take action earlier. It seemed that the information reported by the intelligence department should have been for some time, but at that time, Xijiang did not respond for a long time, and instead deliberately weakened the troops in the Indian region. , in addition to the reasons required by the changes in the war in the mainland of the Central Plains and the peninsula, are there any other reasons
Cui Wenxiu had some doubts about whether His Highness the King of Qin intended to use the power of Luzon and the Hansen Alliance to destroy the inherent ruling class in the De'an region of Western India and the De'an region of Southern India, completely destroying their original ruling order, and then control it by himself. To act as a liberator or a savior, to unify all forces, this may be more difficult militarily and requires more efforts, but once it is successful, it will be of immeasurable benefit in stabilizing one's own rule in the future. His Highness the King of Qin seems to be the best at and likes this strategy.
But this is equivalent to making the military pay a higher price to gain an advantage in future rule. Although Cui Wenxiu does not like this situation, he has to admit that this method should be a better choice for the empire. It is natural for His Highness the King of Qin to act in this way.
But now he has pushed himself to a high ground covered with thorns. The Indian Kingdom is now dominated by three major forces, plus local forces. His Highness the King of Qin has made it clear that if he is given an army of 400,000, he will not only defend the existing empire. Benefits, but also to make further progress based on the existing foundation. Although it is not clearly stated, Cui Wenxiu can feel the implication. Needless to say, the Panja tribe is already under the control of the empire, and the Mish tribe is not difficult to fall into the trap if it makes a little move. Now only the largest Hyderabad tribe is left, and they are still holding back India and India. An Guoguo, an old sign, needs to think carefully about how to maximize the role of this sign and finally throw it away.
There are no civilian officials in the Indian control area. Except for Pauling, who is the representative of the empire, who can help him take on some administrative responsibilities, all other powerful powers have been handed over to him. How can he make full use of this power in his hands to the king of Qin? His Highness gave a satisfactory answer. Cui Wenxiu doesn't have much confidence in his heart now, but with the foundation he had laid in the past, Cui Wenxiu is still somewhat confident in his heart. The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. Since Luzon and the Hansen Alliance are coming to seize it, If you want to eat, let them do it. The more challenging it is, the more interesting this competition will be.
