Saying goodbye and leaving the main hall, He Zhiqiu couldn't help but ask his old friend: "Old Lu, are you really sure that Lin Guoxiong and the others will withdraw from Lujiang and Bashan?"
"Confidence? How can you be sure? If you want Lin Guoxiong to spit out the Lujiang River, it would be cheaper to cut a piece of flesh from him." Lu Wenfu replied with a wry smile.
"Then you agreed as soon as your Majesty opened his mouth?" He Zhiqiu vaguely guessed something, but couldn't help but ask.
"Old He, what is the purpose of your majesty recruiting me eagerly? You can't see it, right? Since you have to deal with this matter and can't use the army, naturally you have to let me do it. Isn't this obvious? Is it something? Since it’s going to fall on your head anyway, it’s better to accept it generously.” Lu Wenfu said calmly, turning his gaze to the distance.
He Zhiqiu was at a loss for words. His Majesty called two people to discuss this matter. He could not use the army, mainly because he did not have enough power to recover. Of course, he had to use other means to regain control of these two places. In addition to the other party, he had to do this. Who is there
"But having said that, I guess the army will have to be used eventually." Lu Wenfu was silent for a while and then looked back.
"Use the army? Do you think it is necessary to use it? Now only the First Division of the Fourth Army is retreating in the nearby Wuhu area. Where can we use it? The armies in the Wuhu area are all stationed in the southern border area and Macchi. There is no way to get out of the confrontation between the Khan's army, and you know this, unless ``````'' At this point, He Zhiqiu paused, seeming to have some realization.
Turning his eyes, he happened to meet Lu Wenfu's eyes. Both of them were shocked at the same time, as if they were thinking of the same thing.
Liang Chongxin frowned and stared motionlessly at the map hanging on the wall. The two big arrows from east to west on the map indicated the direction of the Bejia and Loulan teams. It seemed that these two countries They have made up their minds to stir up this muddy water. They will not give up the idea in their hearts unless they are shown how powerful they are.
The man who opened the door brought in a blast of cold wind, which cleared his mind. Although the room was warm as spring, it always made people feel sleepy.
"Division Commander, we have good news." The young man who hurriedly walked in looked a little red and was obviously excited.
Knowing that his deputy was always calm, with such an expression, there must be some very important news. Liang Chong was also overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Tell me slowly."
"I just received news from Xue Ge that Mr. Li has agreed to your plan and asked the Guards Division stationed in Qingyang to march towards Vito overnight. The Vito Guard Division has also made pre-war preparations. Two The division is preparing to rendezvous in the north of Vito and then move north. Now the Guards Division has already begun to march towards Vito. The road from Qingyang to Vito is in good condition. My subordinates estimate that the two divisions can complete it in three days. When we meet, the Loulan people will definitely be panicked and don't know what to do." The young man's face was full of joy, and he was obviously very happy in his heart.
"Oh? Has your reply arrived?" Liang Chongxin's eyes lit up and he stood up and asked.
Only then did the young man react and quickly handed the secret message in his hand to his superior. Liang Chongxin took it and took a rough look at it. He was suddenly convinced. It seemed that he was absolutely sure of this war. The rest It just depends on how to play more beautifully.
The Bejia people have 40,000 troops on the eastern border of Wusun, while the right general Hu Yandao has only 30,000 national defense troops, which is barely able to cope. Fortunately, the Bejia army does not seem to have any intention of having a head-on conflict with the opponent, but is slowly moving its troops southward, probably He hoped to rendezvous with the Loulan army coming from the west as soon as possible. Now was a good opportunity. Liang Chong, with a sneer on his face, had already made up his mind.
On February 6, 696 in the Continental Calendar, Liang Chongxin led the First Division of the Northwest Army and the First Independent Infantry Division of North Luzon to march eastward day and night in the severe cold, crossed the Wusun border and entered the territory of Bejia, and met Beijia who was steadily moving southward. The 40,000-strong Canadian army collided head-on, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in the southwestern region of Bega. Since the Bega Army soldiers were familiar with the local climate, they had sufficient supplies and the geographical convenience, while the Northwest Army lacked supplies and the soldiers were not familiar with the climate. Adaptation also gradually emerged. Liang Chongxin led the main army and launched an arduous tug-of-war with the opponent. The war reached a stalemate and gradually turned to the Bejia side.
At the same time, under the strict order of Wusun King Sethna, on February 10, the Wusun 30,000-strong National Defense Force, led by the right general Hu Yandao, finally crossed the border between the two countries and quickly moved south, taking advantage of Bei in one fell swoop. Increase the military siege. On February 12, the Northwest Army and the Wusun National Defense Force launched a battle. The battle was extremely difficult and fierce. The Bega Army, which originally had the advantage, wanted to evacuate after discovering that the situation had taken a turn for the worse. However, it was bitten by the Northwest Army and could not escape. It was forced to switch to defense and camped on the spot to hold on. Instead, it placed its hope on the enemy who was already not far away. Loulan Kingdom's army reinforced.
"What? What did you say? His Majesty the King asked us to return immediately?" As the commander-in-chief of the army, Anletai could not believe his ears. The friendly forces were surrounded and in danger. He only needed to arrive to save the day and even annihilate them in one fell swoop. The enemy army, this is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but this special envoy actually asked himself to return to the army immediately.
"Yes, this is the imperial order written by His Majesty the King. Please take a look at it, General An." The visitor did not know the seriousness of the problem. His Majesty the King's painful look when he made this decision is still vivid in his mind, but his country is facing The severe situation forced His Majesty the King to make such a decision against his will. As for Bega, he could only say sorry.
After reading the letter handed over by the special envoy, Anletai could only look up to the sky and sigh. This is indeed an autographed letter from His Majesty the King, and it is also stamped with a seal and cannot be faked. He turned his eyes to the special envoy unwillingly and asked: "What exactly made Your Majesty so urgent to call us back to the division? The special envoy must know it very well, right?"
The visitor paused and hesitated before saying: "The northwest army suddenly invaded from North Luzon and has crossed the border. It is less than three hundred miles away from the capital. General An also knows the situation in the capital. There are only less than ten thousand troops. , and the number of enemy troops exceeds 50,000, and they are rapidly approaching the capital. The military situation is so fierce that there is really no time to delay. Your Majesty is also helpless. General, please take the overall situation as your priority and issue an order to return immediately." The face of the special envoy said. There were beads of sweat all over, and he was obviously worried that Anletai's arrival would affect the fate of the foreign king and ignored him.
After pondering painfully for a long time, Anletai finally had no choice but to accept this cruel reality. Weighing the safety of his country and the survival of his allies, he could only make one choice. He glanced at the west with a guilty look, and then spat out a few words through his teeth: "Here comes! Pass my order, the front army becomes the rear army, and the rear army becomes the front army, and return immediately to the original route!"
When he learned that the Loulan army suddenly returned to Loulan and abandoned tens of thousands of his troops in the enemy's encirclement, Altai's mind suddenly went blank. He only felt that his ears were buzzing, as if everything around him had changed. He looked so unfamiliar, and his originally rosy face suddenly turned extremely pale. He didn't even seem to hear the calls of the attendant next to him, and stared straight ahead with a pair of empty eyes.
The prime minister who came after hearing the news couldn't help but sigh secretly. He originally didn't agree with forming a close alliance with Haibal. After all, he was between two powerful forces. A little carelessness would bring consequences to his country. It was an unreasonable disaster, but his master was very interested, and the Loulan people repeatedly praised him, which finally led to such a disaster today.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
As if he had just woken up from a nightmare, Altai saw the Prime Minister standing in front of him. It was like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw in despair. He quickly took the other person's hand and said: "Ramo, what should we do now?" What should we do? This damn Loulan people are so desperate, ignoring allies and dangerous situations. I, Altai, have lived for decades and have not seen through Haibar, this guy with a human face and a beast heart! I am really blind!" At this point! , Altai could not help but burst into tears.
Sighing secretly in his heart, the Prime Minister saw that his lord was so excited and could not say much. He could only comfort him: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about these things. In my humble opinion, it is better to find a way to solve the current crisis first." The most important thing."
"Yes, yes," Altai was overstimulated and overly emotional, and his usual poise was no longer visible at this time. "Then what do we think we should do now?"
After pondering for a while, Prime Minister Ramo also felt very embarrassed. Now the country's main army has been besieged by the enemy on the southwest border. The country's existing strength cannot solve this problem at all. Sooner or later, the entire army will be annihilated. Even if there are outsiders at this time, The intervention of power can no longer quench the near thirst with far water. If the other side takes the opportunity to march eastward, the capital will not have the power to resist this powerful force. This is an imminent big problem.
"From Wei Chen's point of view, there are only two ways now, either surrender to the Northwest Army, or ask the Luobei people for help and ask them to intervene." He said two words with difficulty. Both of these two ways are without paying a huge price. In exchange, Prime Minister Ramo understands this very well, but now that the matter has come to this, what's the use of regrets
There was silence in the hall, and Altai gradually calmed down. He was obviously weighing the pros and cons of the two paths. He recalled what Haibal once said to him. The Luobi people just wanted to ask for more property, and Li Wufeng is a wolf that cannot be fed enough. He wants to acquire all the property, population and land. Although Haibal is not trustworthy, these comments are quite pertinent.
"Oh, it seems that's all." Altai seemed much older at that moment, lowered his head feebly and murmured: "Ramo, then you immediately send someone to Ulan Town and ask General Besang to come immediately Intervention, all conditions are easy to say. In addition, ``````"
After another pause, he said hesitantly: "Do you think it is necessary for us to make contact with Li Wufeng?" It seemed that he was also a little undecided. After all, what was being surrounded was the essence of Bega's standing army. If If it is lost, it may be difficult to recover in two or three years.
"Your Majesty, I think it is absolutely necessary for us to get in touch with Li Wufeng. Although there are rumors that he is ruthless and greedy, who is the best person who is not thinking about his own interests? Is the Luo Bei just a good bird? Wei Chen I heard that Li Wufeng's main focus now is on developing the Tanghe Empire's interior, and he is not too enthusiastic about the west. Wei Chen thought that maybe we could have a good talk with the other party. Of course, the Luo Bei people should also contact them as soon as possible, and a two-pronged approach would work. We will talk to whichever side is beneficial to us." Prime Minister Ramo answered decisively.
