"Then what do you mean, sir?" Ling Tianfang tentatively asked for his boss's opinion.
"Of course we have to give him things, and we can't do without each other's help. Ptolemy has always been quite wary of us, while Tuoluo is much smarter. We want to express our support for him, but we have to stop him. His political adventure, since he is not absolutely sure of victory, cannot be attempted easily. Once the two brothers turn against each other, causing turmoil in the Dole tribe, it will be very disadvantageous to us. We have to warn him that maybe waiting for the time to mature is a good idea. Way." Wu Feng frowned, obviously thinking about how to convince Duo Luo, his political ally among the Baiin people.
"Well, Your Excellency, it is clear to me that the Boyin people will play a huge role in our march into the Central Plains in the future. We really cannot act rashly. Now that the two of them are visiting is also an opportunity to make good friends with them. We might as well do what they like and connect us. The relationship will deepen further." Ling Tianfang nodded. When entering the Central Plains, he will definitely have to fight against the Taiping people. Once the Taiping people cannot resist it, the Kaman people will never sit idly by. Instead, in order to contain the Kaman people, Nan Jieluoke is the only one who can control the Kaman people. Outside of the northwest army on one side, they have to rely on the Boyin people.
"Tian Fang, you underestimate these two people too much. Don't think that they are brainless because they are barbarians. Duoluo and Takla are both outstanding people among the Baiin people. Perhaps due to their geographical location and national characteristics, they have different vision and Although he lacks in knowledge, his careful thinking and decisive courage are no less than anyone else in our Tang clan. From the strategic alliance formed between Duoluo and us, we can see that they are not willing to submit to others. People." Wu Feng smiled bitterly, "Of course, if you go with what you like, it may be helpful in personal relationships, but when it comes to matters of principle, I'm afraid it won't have much effect."
"By the way, sir, the 30,000 soldiers of Taixuan Mansion have basically restored their combat effectiveness after being streamlined, reorganized, recuperated and preliminarily trained. Do you think it is possible to officially give the unit a designation and include it in the battle order?" Ling Tianfang asked. Wu Feng's opinion was that he originally wanted Yuchibin to form this division. However, since Kang Jianguo was already designated as the commander of the Nanjie Locke Corps, the vacant position had to be filled by Yuchibin. The newly formed division, which had not yet been assigned a designation, was The deputy division commander Yue Shan of the Second Division of the Tengger Army was changed to take charge, and the deputy division commander was selected from the original officers.
"Well, this division was brought out by Fielding as a direct descendant. Its combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and it also has a deep hatred for the Kaman people. I originally wanted to incorporate it into the Tengger Army, but considering the actual situation The situation may not be suitable, but the Northwest First Army and the Nanjie Locke Army are already full, which is a bit difficult to arrange." Wu Feng thought for a moment and asked his chief of staff: "What's your opinion?"
Ling Tianfang was also considering this issue. Because this unit originally belonged to Fielding's direct lineage, Fielding himself has now surrendered to Wufeng, but his subordinates have been captured by the Kaman people and their ideological concepts have not been reformed. Fortunately, they were also redeemed by Wu Feng with Kaman prisoners. These guys from the northwest can be regarded as repaying their kindness and cooperated and supported Yue Shan's appointment. But if they are transferred away from Taixuan again, I am afraid that this group of northwest men who are full of hatred will Men will have some ideas, and this number is not easy to arrange.
"Sir, I don't think it's better than this. We might as well rename Song Tianxiong's Guards Division to the First Guards Division, and name this unit the Second Guards Division. As a unit directly under you, Your Excellency, this is originally It is a lofty honor. Other troops tried their best to get this title but failed. I think it should be an inspiration and honor for them. We can also transfer them to the Guards Division generally without guarding outside generals. Go back to Qingyang."
Ling Tianfang thought painstakingly for a long time before he finally came up with such an unsatisfactory solution. It was really difficult to take into account the feelings of more than 20,000 people, make proper arrangements and not exceed the system regulations.
"Okay, let's do it according to your opinion. Nothing is perfect. Since you are a soldier, you have to obey orders and arrangements." Wu Feng was also a little impatient. It was not his style to think before and after.
The strong man in full military uniform, protected by a few riders behind him, drove his horse and walked silently in the somewhat scattered wilderness. The gentle breeze in April in the Wuhu area was already slightly warm, and it passed over the expressionless cheeks of the great eagle. . Looking up, there are endless wheat fields in the vast plains. The breeze is gentle and the wheat waves are swaying. This is a double-cropping system of rice and wheat. The originally green wheat seedlings have gradually begun to turn yellow, indicating that the early spring harvest season is coming soon.
Below the faintly visible cooking smoke in the distance are villages covered by thick shadows, and you can even see people coming and going from time to time. Although Cheng Dayou's face is dull, he is somewhat satisfied in his heart. At least his pace of conquest has not been affected too much. The lives of these lower-class common people, as evidenced by the farmers and women who still stay at home. Cheng Dayou is deeply proud of this.
The offensive of the Machikhans has stalled. It seems that they are preparing to consolidate their gains in the two southern provinces of Wuhu. If they advance further north, I am afraid that the imperial navy will also bring them a lot of trouble and trouble. Dongting Lake The fleet has probably always been their nightmare. However, the south of Wenning and Baling has fallen into the hands of the Maci Khans. I heard that many gentry have begun to accept cooperation with the Maci Khans. This makes Cheng Dayou find it incredible. The conservative and xenophobic imperial people Maybe they can reluctantly accept the rebels who have the same identity as themselves. After all, they are all of the same lineage as the Tang people, but it is hard to believe that they will accept the rule of foreigners. What kind of autonomy is just a cover-up method to deceive outsiders. Cheng Dayou simply I don't believe in this kid stuff.
Waves of water vapor with a slight river smell blew towards his face through the river wind, making Cheng Dayou feel an indescribable fresh breath. Although it didn't smell good, Cheng Dayou felt that his mind was much clearer. . Unknowingly, he had arrived at the bank of Jiahe River, which is a famous river in Jiujiang Prefecture. However, because it was the spring drought season, the water flow in the river was not large. Cheng Dayou subconsciously estimated whether the cavalry troops could directly cross it. This river, with weeds and wildflowers swaying in the wind, shows a greenery, allowing people to experience a sense of peace during the war.
Jiahe is one of the nine famous rivers for which Jiujiang Prefecture is named. It runs across the central part of Jiujiang Prefecture, bypassing the southern edge of Jiujiang Prefecture and going eastward. Two miles southeast of Jiujiang Prefecture, it is located on another large river that flows from north to south, the Tuojiang River. The confluence and the mighty southward movement are also an important inland waterway in Jiujiang Prefecture.
The Jiujiang Mansion was already under its control, and things were not as expected. The unprepared Imperial Army did not expect that their army would quietly return in retrograde and suddenly move south. They were still making step-by-step adjustments and sending troops south to reinforce the southern front. To resist the invasion of the Machikhans, only five days after the first batch of reinforcements went south, their own army had already invaded the land of Jiujiang. The imperial army, which was caught off guard, panicked and completely lost their will to fight. They collapsed at the first touch, without even touching. Even Cheng Dayou himself was surprised as to why the performance of the Imperial Team always surprised him. In the battle of Heshuo, I thought that the surrounded Imperial Army would soon surrender to me, but I didn't expect that the bravery and tenacity shown made me suffer a big loss. If it hadn't been for the dikes to be breached and flooded, I'm afraid it would have been difficult. Get rid of that army. However, the performance of the Jiujiang Prefecture army was too eye-catching. Even if they attacked suddenly, they would not be defeated. They actually occupied Jiujiang Prefecture without a single blow. However, it was the same as the Machihan people in the south. The empire stationed on the Tuojiang River. The navy squadron also broke through the siege and fled southward to Anqing.
Silently watching the turbid water flow in the river, Cheng Dayou's thoughts were still stuck on when he left Heshuo. It seemed that Bo Jinchen was somewhat on guard against himself. He just recruited and selected more soldiers in Longquan and Heshuo before he became suspicious. It seemed that this guy's vigilance was not as high as usual, and he refused to let himself in. Heshuo stayed longer and then drove himself westward to attack Tianshui. Wasn't that purpose to let him and Li Wufeng face each other directly
But this was not a problem for him. He only had to pretend to delay for a while, and the idiot Situ Jun actually gave up Tianshui to Li Wufeng, which also gave him an excuse to refuse to advance westward. He just got an advantage from Li Wufeng in vain. . Li Wufeng, Li Wufeng, this guy's luck seems to be unusually good. The Lin family and the Lang family were fighting for Hanzhong, but he was sitting there as someone gave him a big mansion for free. Cheng Dayou shook his head, with an indescribable expression on his face. Bo Xiang couldn't blame Bo Xiang for his wry smile. He had never given up hanging on the tree of Taiping Sect. It can only be said that Bo Jinchen's sense of smell was too sensitive, but since he let himself go south, he gave himself such a If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, how can you live up to Bo Xiang who is thousands of miles away? Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on Cheng Dayou's face.
Not surprisingly, in Jiujiang Prefecture, except for the large landowners and nobles who fled, the rest of the people were not willing to leave their hometown casually. Seeing that the spring harvest was in sight, who would be willing to leave casually? What's more, the propaganda offensive he launched also catered to these farmers who just wanted to fill their bellies, and they were exempted from any land tax for a year. This kind of good thing can only be encountered by chance during wars when dynasties change, but the crazy collapse of the empire does not seem to have Let ordinary people feel the pain of war, but the benefits are clearly in front of them, and the choice they make seems to be expected.
