At the same time, Sun Yuanliang, the city guard of Yinchuan Prefecture, also issued an order, ordering the three security divisions under his jurisdiction to enter a state of alert. The Yinchuan Second Security Division, which had been stationed in the north at the border with the Heathrow Empire, also quickly retreated. , returned to station in the suburbs of Yinchuan Fucheng, while the First Guard Division and the Third Guard Division have entered a state of combat readiness. A large number of scouts are swimming in the area at the junction of Yinchuan, Qingyang and Guide, always paying attention to the situation of neighbors to the south. The change.
In the office of the Northwest Military and Political Envoy Administrative Office in Qingyang City, serious-looking Xiao Tang and thoughtful Su Qin were carefully reading the information submitted by the intelligence department, while Ling Tianfang, who was sitting opposite them, had a calm expression. No expression.
"Brother Ling, what do you think of this situation?" Xiao Tang asked calmly after looking at the things in his hands.
"It's no big deal. Sun Yuanliang can't stir up much trouble. If he dares to come, we won't be happy. We're afraid he doesn't have the courage." Ling Tianfang said with a slight smile.
"Well, that's good if you are so sure. I also wonder why Sun Yuanliang has the idea of going south? Unless he has the support of the Heathrow people behind him, but the intelligence shows that there is no movement in the Nuremberg army." Xiao Tang heaved a sigh of relief. Although he did not believe that Sun Yuanliang dared to go south, without Wu Feng, he shouldered greater responsibilities and had to be more cautious.
"I see that Sun Yuanliang is shrinking his army. He doesn't seem to want to take any action, but rather to take precautions. Could it be that he is worried about our show and wants to take the opportunity to have some plot against Yinchuan?" Su Qin took a sip. Yunfeng Bijian (a famous tea produced in Bashan Prefecture, Kansai County), floating in the mist, expressed his opinion.
"Well, it makes sense, it's very possible. He has gathered the troops of three divisions near Yinchuan Fucheng, but has never made any other moves. It is clearly a defensive posture. Who is he targeting? The Sisluo people, Impossible, and the Mote people in the west are even more impossible. Then we are the only ones. Who told our Guide Guard Division to move this way?" Ling Tianfang's eyes lit up and he nodded slowly.
"If that's the case, our performance is really not good enough. Even Sun Yuanliang doesn't believe us." Xiao Tang said gloomily, "Then it's still unknown if the master wants to come back?"
"Who makes our lord's prestige in the northwest so high? Sun Yuanliang is an old fox. He sees the situation here very clearly. He doesn't believe that the Gaoyue people will mutiny at all, so he is worried that we are creating an illusion. In fact, I want to take the opportunity to attack Yinchuan." Ling Tianfang looked helpless.
"It seems that we need to work harder. I am afraid that the court will not believe it so easily. It is difficult to say how much weight these nobles have in the minds of His Majesty the Emperor and the important ministers in the court." Su Qin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we have to find another way."
"Yes, many people in the court are now very wary of Your Excellency. It may not be that simple to get Your Excellency to come back." Xiao Tang also nodded in agreement.
"Just wait and see, I always have a feeling that something will happen in the near future, but I can't predict it." Ling Tianfang stood up a little irritably, still feeling a little unable to let go of anything.
On Stanley Street in Budli City, the capital of Kaman, the Prime Minister's Palace looks particularly magnificent under the afterglow of the setting sun.
The main building of the Prime Minister's Palace is a grand meeting hall, which is built of gray-white tuff on the outside. The lower two floors are decorated with coupons and columns. The solid wall on the top floor is divided by pilasters. A small door is opened in the center of each bay. There is a bronze shield hanging on the window, with corbels protruding to support the hanging column on the top.
The interior decoration of the meeting hall is quite gorgeous, but it is all flat without any volumetric moldings or carvings. The pillars and walls are veneered with white, green, red, black and other colored marbles, with stone patterns undulating like ocean waves. The sail arch and dome are decorated with stained glass inlays with gold foil as the base. At night, you can see them shining in the dim light.
There are still those people in the big meeting hall. Gomez, who is as steady as a mountain, has a solemn face. His fat body makes the big mahogany chair creak. The curtain behind him has been opened, revealing a huge schematic diagram of the situation around the Kaman Empire. Presented in front of everyone, various fortresses, passes, towns, mountains, rivers and roads are clearly displayed one by one, giving people a clear view.
"Nick, how is your army prepared?" Gomez's fat cheek muscles trembled.
"Prime Minister, everything is ready." Nick still had that indifferent expression.
"Well, General Mailley, where are you?" Gomez turned his eyes to the silver-haired Duke Mailley.
"Well, there should be no problem, but I'm worried about whether the storming of Jiayuguan will work?" There was always a hint of worry on Maili's face.
"A certain amount of losses is inevitable. Jiayuguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can be said that one man can guard the pass and ten thousand cannot open it. It is very difficult to attack from south to north or from north to south, but the location of this pass is really important to us. It's so important. As long as we win this level, I think it's worth losing some troops." Gomez's eyes showed a light of determination, "It's a pity that this guy Li Wufeng failed to return to the northwest, otherwise maybe we wouldn't have to do this. There’s a way.”
"Master Prime Minister, I think it might be more troublesome if Li Wufeng returns to the northwest. This guy is cunning and will not be easily tricked. I think it may be more beneficial for us if he is not in the northwest this time. At least we don't have to worry about him colluding with Fielding. Now. The situation in the northwest is in chaos. No matter what the intrigue is between them, at least they can't distract themselves for a moment. If they want to take care of this side, it may not take a day or two. If they really want to send troops, I'm afraid Li Wufeng will have to answer the question of the northwest. , Now the emperor of the Tanghe people seems to be very wary of Li Wufeng, I think it will be difficult for Li Wufeng to return to the northwest." Claudia has become a man besides Nick, who is known as the two pillars of the Kaman military empire. He Maili's third person, this time he will be responsible for the main attack on Jiayuguan.
"This is indeed our best opportunity. If the third division hadn't switched defenses to Jiayuguan, I would never have agreed to this plan. Without internal response, we would have to pay at least five times more." Always calm. Duke Miley also expressed his opinion, "I hope the chess pieces of our Intelligence Department can play a big role."
"There should be no problem. Basten is really reluctant to sacrifice him. According to what he said, in another year and a half, that person should be able to climb to a higher position and play a greater role." Gomer Si smiled and explained, "The intelligence department spent a lot of effort on this person."
"Hmph, if we wait another year and a half, there may not be such a good opportunity. No matter how high he climbs, what use will it be to us?" Claudia snorted coldly, "What we need is to be able to play a role. people, not people in high positions.”
"Of course, so we must achieve our goal this time, and we must be absolutely sure before using him. We must not expose him too early and lose the chance of fighting. We would rather sacrifice more troops to achieve the goal. Claudia, you must do this. Remember." Gomez warned solemnly.
"Understood." Claudia nodded cautiously.
"Also, Nick, you must step up the offensive there and keep the Tanghe troops firmly there to ensure the smooth implementation of the entire plan." Gomez warned again.
Nick, who looked indifferent, just nodded silently to express his understanding.
"General Maili, your task is also very arduous. You must not let the reinforcements from Taixuan Palace, even the reinforcements from Tanghe people or the northwest, get a step closer to Jiayuguan. This is key, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain." Gomez's eyes were shining brightly and he stood up, "As long as we take Jiayuguan, the hinterland of the Tanghe people will be completely exposed to us, and the Tanghe people will no longer have the power to control it. It’s Jerok’s business. By then, it will be good if they can keep their own territory. As for Jerok, hehe, it will definitely become an inseparable part of our great Kaman Empire!”
In July 695 of the continental calendar, war broke out again in the Principality of Jerok, which had been peaceful for more than three years. The Kaman army, which secretly gathered more than 100,000 troops, led by Duke Nick, the empire's most powerful general, launched a surprise attack on Fanlin area in the northeast of Jerok Principality on July 3. Caught off guard, the more than 30,000 defensive troops of Jerok Principality were suddenly attacked. Defeated, they retreated to Fanlin City again.
On July 7, Kaman's army, led by Nick, surrounded Fanlin City, and the offensive and defensive battle of Fanlin City officially began. Since most of the troops of Jerok Principality have been mobilized to the Jiama area and are preparing to recover the Jiama area, they did not expect to be hit by this blow. There are only less than 20,000 defensive troops left in Fanlin City, plus the defeated army that retreated from the northern border. There are only more than 40,000 people, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of their opponents. For a time, Fanlin City was in turmoil, and was in danger under the crazy offensive of the Kaman people. Jerok shocked the whole country.
In panic, Grand Duke Jerok on the one hand ordered the Royal Guards Corps stationed in the capital to strengthen the defense of the capital. On the other hand, he ordered the two corps stationed in the Jiama area to quickly return to the northeastern battlefield to break the siege of Fanlin City. At the same time, Duke Jerok's minister of state immediately rushed to the border between the principality and the empire and asked the local garrison of the empire to respond quickly. On the other hand, Grand Duke Henry V personally went to Zhongzhou, the imperial capital, to request emergency assistance from the empire.
At the same time, the Kaman army stationed in Jiama City also quickly took action to cooperate with the military operations in the Northeast battlefield. On July 14, Duke Maili, the commander of Kaman's front army stationed in the Jiama area, took advantage of the mobilization of the Jielock army and launched an offensive against the Jielock army stationed around the Jiama area. In one fell swoop, he defeated the southern defense line of the Jiama area and gave the Tanghe Empire Caused great shock. Once the southern line is broken, the Kaman army can easily move south without any obstruction in the middle. Crossing the Lamu River and crossing the flat Pod Plain, they can step into the hinterland of the Tang River Empire's Central Plains.
In order to prevent the complete collapse of the Jerok army, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the Third Army of the Western Military Region stationed in the southern border of Jerok quickly moved into the southern region of the Jerok Principality on July 17 and crossed the Pod Plain to join Jerok in the battle. The southern defense line of the horse area. After receiving reinforcements from the two main army divisions of the empire, the defensive situation of the Jialuo army in the Jiama area immediately stabilized and developed in favor of the Jialuo Principality.
On July 18, the 4th Division of the Northern Military Region and the 2nd Independent Division of the Northern Military Region stationed on the border of Beiyuan County also crossed the border and entered the territory of the Principality of Jerok. The empire began to fully intervene in the Jerok War.
