"Chief Guldan, please rest assured that you are our ally. Whether it is the Sisluo Empire represented by Mr. Lebeski or we Luobei people, we will definitely support you with all our strength. On the Tengger Grassland, Li Wufeng wants to If he fights with us, I'm afraid he will pay a heavy price." Before Lebeski could answer, Kurdo had already taken over, "Li Wufeng is a scourge to all three of us. If he is allowed to do whatever he wants, I'm afraid that we will all be the victims. The Tanghe people have an idiom called "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold." I think this word should be a very vivid metaphor for the relationship between the three of us. I think Mr. Lebesky and Meka Many princes are wise people and would not fail to understand such a simple truth."
Lebeski frowned. Although he admitted that what Kurdo said was indeed reasonable, it would not be easy if his own army was to be stationed in the wilderness at the border with the Motes for a long time and passively wait for the attack from the northwest. Possibly, and although Prince Mercado also attaches great importance to the role of the Mote people, he is in charge of the defense of the southern region of the entire empire and needs to be more thoughtful. In view of the fact that Ganlan, the northern fortress of Yinchuan in the northwest, has fallen into the hands of the northwest people, such a situation Lai also directly posed a certain threat to the southern region of the empire. If the Imperial Army and the Northwest Army clash directly face-to-face because of the Motes, will it affect the stability of the southern region of the Empire? Because since the Empire directly conflicts with the Northwest, the Northwest has every reason to start from Ganlan or even Yinchuan. Launching an attack on the vast southern area of the empire, Prince Mercado must also take this issue into consideration.
"Chief Guldan, please rest assured that our army has set off from Nuremberg and is now preparing to conduct military exercises in the border area with your territory. As long as the matter is urgent, we can go into battle at any time, but I think our exercise time It can't be delayed too long. If we can provide you with military support in a short period of time, I'm afraid I can't guarantee this as time goes by." Lebesky replied slowly.
"Mr. Lebesky, Li Wufeng's army has just begun to gather. I'm afraid it's not realistic for you to want him to launch a large-scale offensive immediately? And my opinion is that if Li Wufeng can be allowed to go deep into the Tengger Grassland, his supply line The longer he delays, the more loopholes he will have, and the greater our hope of defeating him. And if we are busy fighting him as soon as he enters the grassland, IMHO, our chances are not great." Erduo was secretly anxious. Li Wufeng's large-scale military gathering this time was obviously to solve the problem in one fell swoop. If he collided with the opponent head-on, it would play into his hands. Both the Motes and his own army were better at guerrillas and using high-speed Mobility allows him to find the opponent's weaknesses and deliver a fatal blow. If it is a head-on attack, the enemy's heavy infantry will cause great damage to his own side. This is what he least wants to see.
"General Kurdo, I don't know much about military matters. Someone from the empire will naturally come to discuss it with you. On behalf of the empire, I just want to express our support to Chief Guldan for his ascension. Now let's talk about how to respond. Isn't it a little too early for the Northwest Army? I think it's only right to flexibly grasp the combat policy based on the actual situation." Lebeski didn't want to argue with the other party on this matter, and moved the topic lightly, talking about these here and now. , Lebeski didn’t think it would have much effect.
In Qingyang Fucheng, a steady stream of troops arrived on the outskirts of the city, making the people inside and outside Fucheng feel the atmosphere of war. Over the past period of time, newspapers have been constantly publishing news about the coup that occurred in the neighboring Mote people, which made almost everyone Everyone was suddenly interested in what was going on in their neighbor. After all, this neighbor was a strategic ally of the Northwest in the Tengger Grassland, and its changes were closely related to the security of the Northwest. Seeing the continuous influx of troops, the merchants in Qingyang were both happy and worried. The good news is that the influx of such a large consumer group will definitely stimulate various consumption in Qingyang, and the consumption level of the northwest soldiers has never been low. Lord The full salary has made the soldiers and their families in the northwest a huge consumer group in the northwest and one of the targets of businessmen. The worry is that although he is confident in his lord, once the war breaks out, it will inevitably affect the smoothness of the trade routes, especially the trade routes going west, and the business of all tribes in the Tengger Grassland will have to be interrupted. , this is something they are extremely unwilling to see, and war variables will also affect changes in territorial policies, and certain temporary measures will also have a great impact on business, such as martial law, curfew, etc.
Just as the situation in the northwest became increasingly tense, the entire Northern Luzon also took action quickly under Wu Feng's order. Helianbo, who received the appointment, threw himself into battle preparations before he could even get excited. As the new Northern Luzon The commander of the Luzon Corps, of course he knows what it means to establish the Northern Luzon Corps at this sensitive time. When the situation was tense, there were only four regiments stationed in the Northern Luzon region, but now it has suddenly expanded to an integrated corps. , and also transferred a division from Yinchuan, where the situation was tense. Helianbo naturally knew the secrets here. His biggest headache now was the lack of staff talents. Yan Tong was originally a good partner, but he has changed from his current position. When the First Division of Northern Luzon (Shuangdui Garrison Division) left, he had to be replaced by someone who could stabilize his position, and Yan Tong became the perfect candidate to succeed him. The boss's appointment only gave him a letter of appointment as the commander of the regiment. Shanzhu also served as the deputy commander of the regiment and continued to stay in Bega to prevent the Bega people from moving. The other candidates were all vacant. Obviously, the boss did not find a suitable one at the same time. Candidate.
However, the newly arrived commander of the Fourth Division (combined from the Jiang Bin Department of the Taiping Army), Jiang Bin, was not exactly in line with He Lianbo's appetite. Perhaps because he had similar experiences, He Lianbo, Yan Tong, and Jiang Bin were in the same position. We felt like old friends at first sight in a short period of time. Jiang Bin also admired He Lianbo's roughness and finesse and Yan Tong's caution and calmness. Although it will take some time to fully integrate into this new group, he has made a good start, especially It was the tacit understanding of the three people that gave the Northern Luzon Army enough cohesion when it was formed.
The exotic scenery of Northern Luzon not only opened the eyes of the soldiers of the Fourth Division who had never left the empire, but Jiang Bin himself was also amazed by such strange natural scenery. At this time, the interior of the empire is still freezing in the northwestern part of Kansai and the northern and western parts of the country. Even the southernmost Jiangnan Five Lakes are still freezing, but here it is already sunny and warm. Looking out the window Rows of tall and neat trees with unnamed trees are arranged in rows. The green vines are wrapped around the low walls, revealing an extremely lively atmosphere. Some of the residents on the street have even exposed their arms. You can't believe it. This is just a few days after the Spring Festival. What a wonderful place it is.
Jiang Bin looked out the window in a daze. Ever since he set foot in the land of Northern Luzon, he had been considering the position of himself and his subordinates. Although he surrendered to the Northwest due to the situation, Jiang Bin did not believe that Li Wufeng could truly trust him. No matter how generous Li Wufeng is, he will not completely believe in the surrender of a rebel from an empire. Retaining himself and his army is just a temporary measure. Maybe his troops should be dismembered when he sets foot on the land of Northern Luzon. when. But what surprised him was that not only were his troops stationed in Northern Luzon not dismembered as expected, but they also received additional reinforcements from another group of Hanzhong Taiping troops, which made him uneasy and didn't know what to do for a while. Li Wufeng's move finally made him realize that when he talked to Li Wufeng after he was surrendered, he saw the calligraphy hanging on the side in the other party's study, "The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great." Perhaps the eloquence of the Holy King can inspire the people. The emotional ability is better than that of the other party. Maybe the military minister is more foresighted in military matters than the other party. But at this point, Jiang Bin can assert that the two people he admires most in the Holy Cult are far inferior to the other party. Maybe this is the decisive factor in winning. Jiang Bin thought after receiving the replenishment of soldiers and the supply of a large number of weapons, armor and logistics materials. But he didn't know that a certain organization was still silently performing its duties in the dark and quietly observing everything, although it was not entirely directed at him personally.
When he came to the northwest and met his direct boss He Lianbo and his colleague Yan Tong, Jiang Bin strengthened his confidence. He did not expect that one of his direct bosses and colleagues was actually the leader of the Black Tiger gang that plagued the northwest. The other is an important backbone of another major rebel organization, the Iron Cavalry Club. Now they are both sitting at the core of the Northwest Army. This shows the attitude of his master in employing people, and the talents of the two people also make Jiang Bin admire him. At the same time, I also felt a little pressure. As the person before coming to Northern Luzon said, to work under him, you only need to grasp two things, one is loyalty, and the second is to show your ability to be recognized. As long as you have these two , everything is out of the question.
