Looking deeply at the other party, Wu Feng didn't seem to care much about the other party's words, "Your Majesty the Duke, thank you for reminding me. I think my people will handle these things well. If we are in our western Xinjiang for the Principality of Jerok Even after making such a big sacrifice, there are still some people who do not know what is good or bad. It can only be said that they want to challenge my patience. Do you think that the unscrupulous activities of Barins and Lanmon were authorized by the Grand Duke of your country? "
With some hesitation, Jacques pondered for a while and then said: "I'm not sure about this, but at least one thing is clear. His Highness the Grand Duke should have heard about this situation. As for whether he let it go or something else, I just say Don’t dare to lie.”
"Well, very good." He raised his hand to indicate to the other party to enjoy the tea. Wu Feng nodded with satisfaction, "It's enough for you to know these things. Please worry more about Jeroke. Although Her Royal Highness and I have an engagement. , but many people in your country seemed to think that I was taking advantage of the situation to pressure others. I don’t want to explain too much about this matter. Only those who are clean will be cleansed. However, I will never tolerate those who try to destroy the good situation that has been achieved with great difficulty. If Someone is trying to use some behind-the-scenes means to achieve a certain goal. I think he is totally wrong. At present, Xijiang and Jerok are on the same side. Facing the Kaman people, one prospers and the other suffers. In fact, There is no mistake, sir, please be more careful."
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I will try my best to restrain their actions, but sometimes I am not able to do what I do. Especially since they have the backing of the Imperial Guard and the Grand Duke, they have to make some concessions on many things." Jacques was somewhat unwilling to do so. Looking at Wu Feng, the expectation in his eyes was clearly revealed: "I hope His Highness can station a certain amount of troops in Merrington City to ensure the stability of the capital."
"I understand what you mean. Barrins is too old. What do you think of Red?" Nodding knowingly, Wu Feng subconsciously stroked the stubble on his chin. This somewhat prickly feeling seemed to be very conducive to thinking and thinking. make some kind of decision.
With joy in his heart, Jacques nodded repeatedly: "Your Highness is wise. Lord Reid has always admired His Highness. He has outstanding abilities and is also highly popular among the Guards. He is indeed the best candidate to be the commander of the Guards."
When the old man disappeared from the door of the room with a smile on his face, Qin Shuangying, who had been recording beside him, couldn't help but ask: "Brother Feng, is Mr. Jacques a bit alarmist? Although Lan Meng and Barins have more contact, , does have some objections to our performance in Jerok, but he does not have any substantive dissatisfaction with us. I suspect that he is using us to attack the opponent."
"Well, that should be it. But now I really need a Zerok who will be absolutely obedient. Archduke Allen is still a little dissatisfied with his old age. I hinted that he could give up the throne to Anne, but he didn't seem to understand what I meant. Barrins Neither Barins nor Lan Meng cooperated well. In this case, I had to choose Jacques to help me control. Although Barins and Lan Meng are unlikely to have other plans, they can defend one hand as much as possible, not to mention at such a critical moment. , it is also very annoying to play small tricks. Jacques is ambitious, but he is very smart. He knows his abilities and his position. I admire him very much. He determines his position by strength, and never fails to do so. Although the techniques are not that clever, we should not be too demanding, no one is perfect."
Wu Feng smiled and held Qin Shuangying in his arms, "Then why doesn't Brother Feng marry Princess Anne directly and satisfy the hearts of Grand Duke Allen and Balings? Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"Silly girl, I haven't married Situ Yutang yet, and there is your sister An Qier in the imperial capital, so I have to think carefully." Lovingly moving his hands on the other party's plump and round buttocks, Wu Feng said with a smile: " Do you want them to get started earlier so you can get your wish earlier?"
Somewhat shyly, she squirmed in Wu Feng's arms. Qin Shuangying, who was told something important, lowered her head so much that it was almost touching her towering chest. This made Wu Feng feel angry. He simply untied his embroidered brocade jacket and reached into the other person's underwear. Feeling those plump balls makes me happy.
Maili, who was stationed in Fanlin, had already felt the pressure from the south and west. He had had an ominous premonition for a long time. Since the fall of Jiama, this premonition has become stronger and stronger. Li Wufeng is not a passive person. Annihilating an enemy cavalry regiment can certainly boost morale, but sending troops to plunder civilians is obviously a failure that angers Li Wufeng. Although this can provide some labor for the nobles in the empire, but in terms of real value Generally speaking, it should be said that the losses outweigh the gains. Such huge pressure will force Li Wufeng, who had already intended to move eastward, to point the finger at his own side again. Intelligence from within Western Xinjiang has proven this. Large-scale military mobilization within Western Xinjiang has begun to take shape. At this time, my premonition finally became a reality. Liujiatun fell, and the 30,000-person team of the Eighth Corps was destroyed. Reeve died in battle.
This was Nick's biggest mistake in his life, Miley said. But he could understand Nick's feelings of internal and external difficulties. His colleagues were forced to make such a decision for various reasons. It should be said that the Prime Minister's intervention was an important factor in causing this tragedy, but why wasn't the Prime Minister not forced by others
Now Nick probably can only stick to Qinghe and wait for rescue and changes in the situation. Maili has no hope at all for the so-called changes in the situation. Be it Luzon people or Luo Bei people, bullying the weak and fearing the strong and taking advantage of the situation is their strength. But when it comes to facing off against Li Wufeng, he escapes faster than anyone else, so those are all vain hopes. The only reliable thing is the assistance of the Puer people. If we can use the reinforcements of the Puer people to break through and defeat Liujiatun's Xi The Xinjiang Army has reconnected Yulin and Qinghe. There is still room for this battle. Otherwise, whether it is Yulin in Qinghe or Fanlin who is guarding it, it is already a luxury to hope to return home empty-handed.
Negotiating with the Poole people and Situ Tai is not something that he has to worry about. I believe that the Prime Minister is also aware of the current situation. He has forced himself to a dead end. Both he and Nick have been firmly tied to a chariot. This battle will determine the fate of many people, the enemy and our own.
There was a sound of leather boots from the adjutant's room outside. It must have been that the adjutant had returned from checking the sentinels. I don't know what kind of bad news came back. Mailly thought that after leading troops for decades, no matter which regiment under his command was in any situation, Everyone who fell into his hands was full of energy and fighting spirit, but this time Maili really felt a sense of depression and decadence floating in the military camp. Blindly defending is not in line with the martial arts of Kaman soldiers, but this time facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, Maili can only adopt the stupid method of steady and solid defense. Whether it is motorized cavalry or infantry, regardless of quantity or quality, the West The Xinjiang people have far surpassed themselves this time. If they try to show off their strength again, they will really feel sorry for their own lives.
Judging from the current strategy adopted by the Western Xinjiang Army, Li Wufeng intends to intercept Nick's tens of thousands of troops in Qinghe, and then concentrate his superior forces to encircle and annihilate him. However, with Nick's ability, Qinghe Mansion may become the cemetery of the Western Xinjiang Army. Of course, if According to the development of this situation, the final victory of the war should belong to the people of Xijiang. After all, no matter how well the tactics are arranged and how powerful the leading generals are, they cannot offset the huge difference in strength. The only hope is that Poole's army can fight with Yulin's 50,000 troops joined forces to break through Liujiatun and break the siege of Qinghe by the Western Xinjiang Army. However, since Li Wufeng made this move, it is impossible not to think of this possibility. How to reverse this disadvantageous situation requires another extraordinary force.
But now Maili is more worried about the Fanlin problem he is guarding. With an army of 50,000 in his hands, he believes that he can hold on to Fanlin, but what is the meaning of such persistence? Given the current situation in the country, logistical supplies are difficult. Although the land on the Qinghe River was exchanged for food support from the great nobles, this was only barely supported. The empire's hundreds of thousands of troops were already on the southern front. Once Bai Bai in the north When the barbarians joined in, I was afraid that the entire empire would be in serious trouble. Only then did Maili clearly realize that the overall strength of Xijiang under Li Wufeng had surpassed the empire, especially in terms of economic power that determines military strength. It is far more powerful than the empire, and the internal efforts are even more concerted. It is far better than the struggle for power in his own country. When fighting against such a behemoth, Maili has no idea what the outcome of this battle will be. .
Seeing that the enemy has already invaded the territory with large numbers of troops, and the nobles in the country are still fighting for their own interests, trying to kill the prime minister, what is the point of continuing this kind of war? A touch of sadness welled up in Maili's heart. He had never thought that the once invincible Kaman military would find itself in the embarrassing situation of being cowardly, with low morale, logistical difficulties, and a shortage of soldiers. Even he, the head coach, would think about it for the first time. The choice after the war is unfavorable. Can this kind of war still be fought
Just as Maili and Nick were struggling for their own futures, the Xinjiang Army was already crushing Jerok and Kitahara Sanfu on a rapidly rotating flywheel with a loud noise.
On January 30, 699 in the Continental Calendar, the First Army Corps, which had already moved to Anyuan, received an order to quickly advance northward into Jerok, while the First Division of the Third Army Corps and the Fifth Army Corps had entered the territory on a large scale a day earlier and had already left. The empty Pinglu Mansion and the city of Pinglu Mansion, which once cost Kaman's army a heavy price, returned to the hands of Western Xinjiang without a single soldier. Such an outcome made many people, including some generals of the Western Xinjiang military, They all thought it was an accident, but it turned out to be an extremely wise choice.
