After receiving the secret letter from the guard, Wu Feng's heart moved. The intelligence leader in the secret letter marked the secret level as normal. Why did Ling Tianfang send it in this way? What made the intelligence department think it was not important? , but the Military Affairs Administration finds it so urgent
His eyes briefly glanced at the letter. The content of the letter was very simple. It was just a sign that some imperial troops in northern Zhongzhou were being mobilized. It didn't seem to have any special connection with Western Xinjiang. Why was Ling Tianfang so sensitive? This thought only passed by for a moment. While Wu Feng handed the secret letter to Lin Yuexin aside, he carefully read Ling Tianfang's personal opinions attached to it.
"Yue Xin, what do you think?" Under the candlelight, Lin Yuexin looked so solemn and solemn as she read the letter carefully, and her elegance was a bit more charming. In the past, Wu Feng would have admired it, but at this time Wu Feng But he was no longer in the mood.
"Well, there are indeed some questions. Why would the Fourteenth Army move eastward at this time? Isn't there a defense area of the City Guards in the east? Now that there is no foreign enemy like the Kaman people, it seems that the only defensive target is our No. 1 stationed in Qinghe. There are three legions. Could it be that Mr. Cui made some moves in Qinghe that stimulated them? Or that they wanted to send troops to Qinghe? Impossible, and the city guards also made changes. Is it a change of defense? Why did you choose to change defense at this time?" A series of questions Questions murmured from Lin Yuexin's mouth, as if answering Wu Feng's question. Seeing Wu Feng hand him another letter of Ling Tianfang's views on the matter, Lin Yuexin took the document and buried his head again. Looked up.
"Brother Feng, Lord Ling's opinion makes sense. I'm afraid that the City Guards will switch defenses with the 14th Legion, but the City Guards will definitely not move eastward, but will most likely move southward. The most likely possibility is that the City Guards will move eastwards. It's Jinzhong!" A cautious look appeared on Lin Yuexin's face, and she said all the unfinished meaning of Ling Tianfang's words, "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong. It seems that the empire wants to Jinzhong has sealed us off in Zhongzhou, making it impossible for us to return to Western Xinjiang through this passage."
A flash of lightning flashed through Wu Feng's mind, and Wu Feng connected everything at once. The empire's frequent adjustments were indeed a bit strange. At first, he had some doubts about why the empire center would adjust its deployment and direction at this point. , and he also put Ying Jianming right at the throat of Jinzhong, just when he was still undecided about whether to go to Beijing and how many troops to bring. Wasn't that adjustment too coincidental? Is there any conspiracy between this? Suddenly everything became clear, and it seemed that everything could be connected. Yusuf's commitment became more readily available at that time, but before he had been vague and pushy about getting out of the way, Lan Bailin of the 14th Army Corps had always been in charge. The Jinzhong defensive zone was now transferred to the north. This series of transfers and adjustments were linked one by one, like someone pushing dominoes, triggering a series of changes that made it difficult for me to see clearly at the time.
"Yue Xin, I remember you told me when we were in Sanjiang, what are the first conditions for going to Beijing?" Wu Feng seemed to have sensed the great danger here, but Wu Feng calmed down and asked calmly.
"Do you still remember what I said? We must take the road to Beijing into our own hands. Only in this way can we ensure the safety of our trip to Beijing." Lin Yuexin heard Wu Feng's sudden question, immediately recalled it, and asked: "Do you suspect that putting Ying Jianming in charge of Jinzhong's defense this time is a trap?"
"Well, don't you think Jinzhong's defense is too weak now? There are only three divisions, and two of them are our pawns. Is there such a coincidence? The remaining two divisions of the Fourth Army However, a division is stationed in the area bordering Longquan, and even the commander of the regiment is staying in the imperial capital. This drama seems to be overdone, what do you think?" The more Wu Feng thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Apart from the imperial guards, the empire was still Controlling six legions, why are there only three divisions in Jinzhong, but the other two divisions of the Fourth Legion are put aside, and the Eighth and Ninth Legions are placed in the south to bask in the sun. Is this possible? What about doing it intentionally for yourself to see and reassure yourself
The eyes of both of them became a little serious. If this is true, it proves that Situ Tai and the Situ Lang group in the imperial capital have completed negotiations on various conditions and are going to kill themselves in Zhongzhou. Once the city guards move south to Shanxi If he marched in a hurry, he could arrive in three days, and he had just arrived at the gate of the imperial capital two days later, so this time period was just right. It is indeed easy for the five divisions of the City Guards Corps plus several other divisions of the Fourth Army to hand over the weapons of the two divisions in Jianming's hands, especially when the other side is prepared but our own is not, and the other side has orders from the military headquarters. , I'm afraid Ying Jianming's two divisions don't even have room to resist. And by holding the gate of Jinzhong, I am afraid that Situ Tai's army will pounce on him like evil wolves and tear the division in his hands to pieces. Wu Feng has never been confident that a division in his hands can compete with the power in Situ Tai's hands. The three legions in Situ Tai's hands, the first and second legions, are the elite of the imperial army. Compared with his own The troops are not much worse. As long as Situ Tai is willing to spend his money, his own destruction is almost unavoidable in a flat land like the capital city.
But now that I am aware of the other party's intention, the initiative is in my own hands, and everything has changed.
"Brother Feng, what are you going to do now? We can return to the army immediately before we have time, or you can escape alone first. As long as you return to Western Xinjiang, all their plans will become worthless." Lin Yuexin stared at her with burning eyes. Looking at her lover, she had a hunch that Wufeng would not adopt her safest but somewhat conservative method. Her lover was known for being bold and rebellious, so she didn't know what kind of countermeasures he would have.
"Hmph, it seems that the people of the Situ family will not give up until I die. There are still a few days until the meeting of the kings, and they are just changing the defenses normally. If I retreat now, wouldn't it appear that I, Li Wufeng, have gone back on my word? Being afraid of them is not Li's style. Since they want to play, let's just have a big game and have fun!" Wu Feng's face showed a demon that looked full of murderous intent in Lin Yuexin's eyes. Smiling like this, "Yusuf, that bastard, he is like a dog sitting in a sedan chair and doesn't know how to lift people. Since you are so shameless, you have to swell his face to know how powerful you are! Now it's him who wants to follow Situ Tai." The guy in the coffin is leaving, and Situ Yushuang, who calls himself a heroine of the generation, is leaving, so don’t blame me for being rude. Doesn’t he think that his city guards are rare things to live in? I will let his city guards become Look how proud he is of the dog who broke his spine!"
Lin Yuexin was startled. Ai Lang's words were full of murderous intent. Even a fool could see that he was really angry. But now that he and his party had reached the border of Zhongzhou, if he was so dejected It was a bit uncomfortable to run back, but after hearing what Wu Feng said, Lin Yuexin felt anxious again.
"Wufeng, what are you going to do?" After calming down, Lin Yuexin asked directly. Time is extremely precious at this time and there is no need to waste it on discussions.
"It's very simple. Doesn't Yusuf want to help Situ Tai and Situ Yushuang close the door to Jinzhong? Since he is so eager to serve his masters, I will give him this opportunity. Inform Ying Jianming that the situation has changed and let him Delay Yusuf's city guards and prevent them from entering the city. Here I will let Yusuf taste the power of the Western Xinjiang cavalry and order the first and sixth cavalry regiments and the third heavy equipment of the third army. The cavalry division and the unicorn armored beasts stationed in Longdong immediately moved to Hejian. The 3rd Ranger Regiment was dispatched to follow up. The 2nd and 4th divisions of the 3rd Army Corps in Hejian were sent to me to advance. I want Yusuf I'll beat you all over the place!" The ferocious-looking Wu Feng gritted his teeth and said, he was indeed a little angry. It's just that this guy Yusuf couldn't see the situation clearly. He actually went back on his words and teased himself, and he also wanted to plot against himself. Originally, he didn't intend to take action against the military system he was born in, but now that he has come to this point, he can't blame himself. Jinzhong must be won. Only by winning Jinzhong will the road home be peaceful. As Lin Yuexin said, there is no room for negotiation!
Lin Yuexin was really shocked this time. She stood up and stared at the opponent anxiously: "Wufeng, calm down. What you do is openly declaring war on the empire! Don't you care about the people of the empire?" Reaction? They are the Imperial City Guards, not the Kamans and the Taiping Army! If you do this, won’t all your previous efforts be in vain? I can’t let you do this!”
With a gloomy face, Wu Feng stood up and walked around in the handsome tent with his hands behind his back. Lin Yuexin's fierce opposition to his opinion was naturally for his long-term plans for the future, but Jinzhong Mansion must be in his hands. Now the city It was an undeniable fact that the Guards were about to move south. How could I stop them from moving south
"Yue Xin, now that we have come to this point, it is difficult to retreat. Under the current circumstances, I am determined to win Jinzhong Mansion, otherwise I will not be able to sleep even if I walk to the imperial capital. To tell you the truth, Most of the gentry in Jinzhong Mansion have already been in contact with Su Qin and the others, and they also hope to submit to the jurisdiction of Xijiang. What they lack now is a name. Originally, I planned to ask Ying Jianming to help me control this passage in this name. , It seems that it won't work now. The people of the Situ family are probably aware of this. We have no room for compromise on this road. Since it doesn't work, we can only make it clear that now the Jinzhong gentry and the imperial army have their respective It’s no longer bearable to donate money to maintain the military expenses. I just need to wait for them to make an announcement and I can send troops into Jinzhong!"
