Sitting in the chair, Wu Feng fell into deep contemplation. A series of changes came one after another, which made people feel at a loss for a while. Tomorrow is the funeral of His Majesty the Emperor, but at this time, an urgent military message from the northwest has been received. Gu Ji passed the message to Angel without even having time to cover it up, and Angel came to the door overnight regardless of the fact that it was getting late. If this series of actions fell into the eyes of someone who was interested, I am afraid that it would immediately arouse suspicion, but there is no need to worry about this matter.
Without looking at a map, Wu Feng could clearly picture the geographical topography of the entire Beiyuan and surrounding areas in his mind. Starting from the south of Lulong, Liupan Mountain and Dayunling stretched across to the south of Qinghe, connecting Beiyuan and Guanxi. They are spaced apart, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, forming a natural moat. The meaning of the natural moat is that although the continuous mountains here block traffic, they are not inaccessible to humans and animals. People who live in the mountains in this area use hunting and gathering. The long-term walking for a living on medicine can also cross these mountains that look like natural chasms. These situations have already been grasped after the Northwest Army took control of Kansai. Of course, if the logistics and cavalry want to cross these mountainous areas, they can only go north or south through the Huashui Valley Valley in the southeast corner of Pinglu, which becomes a communication The only thoroughfare between north and south.
Wu Feng originally did not agree with Liang Chongxin's suggestion. Although he could take a detour from Pinglu and cross the eastern end of Dayunling to the back of Huashui Valley, Wu Feng did not doubt that this plan would be successful under Liang Chongxin's planning, and in this way, Anyuan All the Taiping troops in Pinglu will be locked to the west of Pinglu. If Nanjielok's army cooperates in moving south, it is reasonable to swallow up these two palaces in one fell swoop, especially now that the Taiping people's perverse actions have caused unprecedented chaos in this area. However, at this sensitive time, what kind of feeling will such a large-scale military operation by our own Northwest Army bring to the imperial court and the ordinary people? Wu Feng could not predict how the imperial court and the gentry and the people would view the actions of the Northwest Army at this time. If there was a rebellious mood, it would be more than worth the gain.
However, the ambassador from the Principality of Jerok to the Imperial Capital revealed that their intelligence officers in Northern Jerok had discovered the rapid growth of the Kaman troops in the Fanlin area, which aroused concern among the Jerok people, so they specially reminded themselves. Wu Feng did not believe that the Kamans would choose to attack Nanjerok at this time. The Northwest Army, Jerok's own army and the Imperial Division stationed in Jerok attacked the army stationed in Merlington, which already numbered more than 100,000 people. In addition, Merrington The defenses have been re-reinforced, and Wu Feng does not believe that the Kamans will bite Merrington's hard bone under such circumstances. This can only mean one thing. The time has come and the Kaman people are going to take action against their allies, the Taiping people!
what to do? Once the Kaman people take action, it will definitely be a violent force. The Taiping people have already made people angry and unpopular in the Northern Plains, and the combat effectiveness of the two armies is even more incomparable. I am afraid that once this torrent sweeps down, even the people in the east The western part of Yanyun may also be affected. If the Kaman people join forces with the Puer people, I am afraid that Situ Tai will still be unable to resist even if the Duodun Kingdom comes to help, especially since there is intelligence that the Second Army is already moving to the southeast. The target seems to be the East China Sea. Does Situ Tai want to control the East China Sea, or has she discovered the anomalies in the north and intends to give way to the south channel? Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Wu Feng's back. If this was really the case, Situ Tai would be too shameless. In order to preserve his strength, he resorted to such a trick. Once the Kaman and Puer people really went south, what consequences would this bring? Compared with the Taiping Rebellion and the Machihan people's northward movement, the consequences are unreasonable. The entire north will definitely become an area occupied by foreigners.
No, it can't be like this, but now even if I immediately order the Northwest Army to move north, can the Northwest Army withstand the surging Kaman army moving south? Wu Feng, who has fought against the Kaman people, knows that the combat effectiveness of the Kaman army is definitely second to none in the Eastern Continent, especially their armored heavy cavalry, which can give full play to charging into battle in this kind of field battle on the northern plains. The only way to avoid its effects is to rely on a strong city to resist, but wouldn't the Kaman people not think of this? If the armored cavalry in front clears the way, the infantry rolling behind will follow closely. Facing an enemy with an absolute advantage, they may not be able to withstand the opponent's impact.
It’s too late! What to do? Wu Feng couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. In the current situation, he could only ensure the safety of his flanks, and he also had to hope that Liang Chongxin would move quickly enough! As for what will become of the north? There is really nothing I can do.
Although there are some things that cannot be helped, the necessary work must be done. "Someone, prepare a car!"
"Where are you going?" Angel beside her had never seen her lover so restless, sometimes sighing, sometimes sighing, and sometimes frustrated.
"First go to the Minister of Military Affairs Jilin's house, and then go to the Ninth Prince's house!" Wu Feng took the coat from Angel and said, "Go back and rest first, I'm afraid you won't be safe tonight."
"What? What did you say?" I was a little uneasy about Wu Feng's late-night visit. At this critical moment, the northwest king came to my house. Wouldn't it be possible for many people to talk about it? But when Piyi saw Wufeng for the first time, Jilin was stunned by what he said to him.
"Yes, I don't think I need to repeat it. The Kaman and Puer people may mobilize all their troops to go south in these two days. It is estimated that Beiyuan and Yanyun will be their attack targets." Wu Feng's face was filled with emotion. He smiled helplessly, "This is the information I just obtained. The specific time should be today or tomorrow!"
Sitting in the chair, Jilin's face turned pale, and even his lips could not help but tremble, "What should we do? Yusuf has just sent a notice that his city guard regiment is preparing to launch a campaign to regain Qinghe Mansion. If Kaman Isn’t it just a coincidence that people are going south? I wonder if Yusuf has got any information about this? "
"Sir Ji, whether it's too late or not, go report it immediately. In addition, I'm afraid the third and fourth legions must be prepared. Once the city guard legion fails and Qinghe Prefecture falls, the imperial capital will be in danger." Wu Feng's eyes flashed. There was a sudden flash of light, and it seemed that Yusuf had also received information about the chaos in Beiyuan, and felt that the time was ripe to regain Qinghe, so this happened. However, everyone's luck was not very good, and they met both the Kaman and the Puer people. I want to share this spoonful.
"Also, do you think it is necessary to have some time with His Highness Ninth Prince?" Wu Feng reminded him kindly, seeing that the other party was already losing his sense of proportion.
"Yes, yes, we will go to His Highness the Ninth Prince's house immediately. This needs to be reported to him immediately." The lost Minister of Military Affairs finally woke up from a dream.
The sky was already slightly bright when he came out of His Highness the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Looking at the citizens who got up early, Wu Feng, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but sigh. Once the enemies from the north surged southward, the imperial capital would soon turn into a city of refugees. Faced with the weapons and weapons of foreigners, how many people can insist on staying in the local area? I am afraid that people with a little wealth will choose to flee south, and this imperial capital has become their first choice. Can this city afford such a huge burden
Shaking his head, Wu Feng put away his feelings of compassion. Now is no longer the time to consider these issues. How to stop the Kaman and Pu people from going south is the top priority. There was a debate on this issue in the house of His Highness Ninth Prince. Will His Highness spend all his money to use the first and second legions to fight against the Kaman or Puer army? The answer is no, unless he can be allowed to sit on the throne, but will these highnesses be willing to let him sit in this position? Wu Feng shook his head in his heart, fearing that this problem would never be solved.
At the same time that Wu Feng received the news about the Kaman army gathering from Ambassador Jerok, Liang Chongxin and Ling Tianfang also received the same information from the Jerok regional intelligence network of the Military Intelligence Agency, and had rushed to Bonan to meet with Liang Chongxin. Ling Tianfang and Fielding held an emergency discussion at Yangmakou in Bonan Mansion. The three agreed that the large-scale concentration of the Kaman army would definitely not be aimed at Merrington, but most likely. Regarding Yulin and even Pinglu and Qinghe, although the specific number of Kaman troops gathered in Fanlin is not yet clear, the number of Kaman troops discovered by intelligence personnel has exceeded four corps, and it also includes those who have been in Kaman territory. The Carmen Royal Guards during a military exercise. The shocking effect of such a large-scale military gathering is obvious, and its intentions are also clear.
After an emergency discussion, the three decided to deploy their troops before receiving clear instructions from Wu Feng, and then make the final decision after Wu Feng's order came down. Before that, everything was carried out in accordance with the combat deployment.
The 1st North Luzon Division of the Guanxi Theater Army on the southern front crossed Dayunling and occupied Huashui Valley under the leadership of its guide. At the same time, it ordered 30,000 Mott light cavalry in Xikang to also set off for Tianshui. At the same time, At the same time, the Tengger Third Heavy Cavalry Division, the Third and Fourth Northwest First Army Corps, and the Unicorn Special Brigade stationed in Longdong also began to go to Tianshui, detouring from Tianshui to the valley leading to Huashui Valley. Once the First Division of North Luzon occupied Huashui Valley, the various units quickly passed through Huashui Valley and entered Pinglu to ensure that the southward passage of the Kaman people was blocked.
On the northern line, the Lulong Garrison Division was ordered to dispatch to attract the attention of the Kuimenyu garrison. Since Anyuan was surrounded by steep mountains to the north, south, and west, it was difficult for large armies to move. Therefore, other small armies could only be sent to infiltrate Anyuan from the south of Jieluoke to cooperate. The Northwest Army, which had established a foothold in Pinglu, captured Anyuan.
As for the possibility of the Kamans invading Pinglu, since there are relatively rugged ravines on the north side of Pinglu, they can gain a certain buffer for the Northwest Army in terms of time. If the Kamans really invade Pinglu, they can only let the armies of both sides Let's compete with each other's strength.
