"I really don't know where Chen Dingnan's confidence lies."
Xiulunsi shook his head and muttered to himself: "Kneel down to talk? Even if I don't want to attack anymore, there is no obstacle behind me, and I can withdraw at any time. The reason why I want to talk to the commander of the Black Banner Army , I want to find a way to peacefully solve the problem of getting along with each other in the future. He said he wants to talk, so he has to kneel down and talk... "
He smiled, with some disdain: "This joke is very cold."
Kirkbo didn't think so. This old man who was alone in a place with no close relationship with him always asked himself to stay awake at all times. He knew that Xiulunsi really didn't have any friendship with him. Now that Xiulunsi asked him to stay, the more meaning was kidnapping.
Regardless of whether it is useful or useless, at least Kirkbo can embody two values on the surface in his army.
First, Kirkbo is the War Supervisor.
Second, the family power behind Kirkbo is huge.
Ke Kebo looked at the map, frowning deeply: "What if... what if the Black Banner Army still has troops?"
He asked suddenly.
Hurons, who was still smiling disdainfully, froze suddenly, and then his expression changed.
"quick!"
He shouted towards the door: "Send someone to tell the rear team to increase the search range of the scouts to fifty miles!"
As soon as his voice fell, a messenger rushed over like flying: "My lord duke! The rear team is under attack!"
Yes.
Sanjin is here.
…
…
A seed is sprinkled in spring, and countless fruits are harvested in summer.
Whether it is in the Central Plains, Eastern Xinjiang, or the Opru Empire on the other side of the ocean, you will hear sentences with similar meanings. Of course, you can't hear it in Shiwanda Mountain or Fangu City in the northwest of Sui Dynasty. Sowing seeds will pay off most of the time, but there are exceptions.
In the same field, some people want to grow rice, while others want to grow wheat.
Whoever wants to plant is ready, as for who harvests... It has nothing to do with the seeds, and it has nothing to do with the fields. Whoever wins with his fists will own this land. So it's not about the harvest, it's about the land...
Now on this ground, there are four troops fighting.
Black Banner Army, Mu Fu Bing, Black Morning Glory, Hyacinth.
Everyone wants to grow melons and reap beans, and it seems that the most important thing is to grab the land.
As for the army of the Chu people, they were not counted at all.
Hyacinth had lost his competitiveness, and Chen Dingnan led all the cavalry to attack Mox in one raid. No matter how carefully he prepared, he has basically lost his competitiveness now. However, after withdrawing from the battle group, Mox took the position as a bystander, and it may not be impossible to grab some opportunities from behind. Of course, the so-called withdrawal from the battle group is only limited, and it is impossible for him to really withdraw now.
When Fang Jie led his men to the battle zone, Hurons' army had already withdrawn from the battle group. Without the pressure, the Black Banner Army has begun to calmly prepare for defense and counterattack. Because Chen Qianshan's team in the north of Malan Mountain was a bit lonely, Chen Dingnan even dispatched 30,000 people across the canyon to the north to support.
Because Chen Dingnan already knew very well that Fang Jie's plan had been realized.
No matter how tortuous and complicated the process was, it eventually formed an encirclement for all foreign teams. Now the black morning glory of Xiulunsi and the hyacinth of Moxie are blocked by the army of Sanjinhou.
San Jinhou stood outside the camp and waited. He and Fang Jie hadn't seen each other for a long time. Fang Xie dared to hand over the main force to him, which showed the status of Sanjin Marquis Wu Yiyi in the Black Banner Army.
"All ready?"
Fang asked.
Marquis Sanjin bowed his head: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Fang Jie smiled: "I heard that Schulence wants to see me."
Marquis Sanjin also laughed: "First, I sent someone to meet Chen Dingnan in the Malanshan Pass, but was stopped by Chen Dingnan. Then Xiulunsi realized that it was too late to withdraw. Then he sent someone to see me , He thought that the prince was in the army, but he didn't expect that you were among the people who passed by his army before, if he knew, he would be very upset."
Fang Jie nodded: "Master Hou has worked hard on this journey, and the soldiers have worked hard. From Shanhai Pass to Malan Pass without sleep, no one can sleep for even an hour. Go first. Tell the soldiers that, except for the men and horses on duty, all other armies should go back to sleep in their tents and get a good night's sleep."
"Here."
San Jinhou responded, turned around and told people to make arrangements.
"My lord, if we win this battle, at least we can swallow all the foreigners' teams south of Malan Mountain in one go, and it won't take long before we can recover most of the eastern border. Hurons and Mo If Kesi's men and horses are gone, there will be a large vacuum in terms of the layout of foreigners in Eastern Xinjiang."
"It won't take that long."
Fang Jie said as he walked, "Yang Shunhui's team has already reached Kaiping. Except for the big city, there are not many foreigners staying behind. It is not difficult for the two guards to sweep up these small foreign troops. At the beginning, I let them fight by themselves, just for the later layout. I contained and surrounded all the elite of the foreigners in Malan Mountain, and also contained all the troops of the Mu Mansion in Malan Mountain...Then the next thing to restore the rivers and mountains is either The soldiers of my Black Banner Army are either the soldiers of the two guards, or the rebels on the green forest road in the eastern border."
"Anyway, they are not soldiers from the Mu residence."
Wu Yiyi replied, laughing loudly.
At this moment, Fang Jie's layout was almost fully revealed.
First, Fang Jie designed the battle of Malan Mountain. From the very beginning, he planned to put the decisive battle here, because this place is too important. As long as he puts on a posture as a bait, the enemy will have to follow suit. In other words, Fang Jie had taken the lead from the very beginning, even if it was on Mu Guangling's territory. At the very least, Mu Guangling had the advantage, but Fang Jie abruptly grabbed the advantage, and the process of grabbing was just a casual chat with Mu Guangling.
Second, Fang Jie killed Yang Shunhui. Killing Yang Shunhui was only one of Fang Jie's goals, the second was to release the two guards. He let the two guards attack freely because Fang Xie knew that he could not make this team obey him absolutely in a short time. To fight with a disobedient army on the battlefield is a taboo.
Third, once the situation of Malanshan Pass is formed, there is actually no solution. Chen Dingnan was guarding Malanshan Pass, and Marquis Sanjin was caught in the bread from behind, so it was difficult for the team inside to figure out. As a result, it is very difficult to see large groups of foreigners on almost half of the land in Eastern Xinjiang, and it cannot be better for regaining the lost land.
Fourth, after reaching this point, Fang Jie no longer has to worry about the development of the situation. Without the main force of foreigners, all other armies fighting against foreigners will start to exert their strength. The team dominated by the two guards will recover these areas in a very short period of time.
Fifth, Fang Jie wants to use such a battle to wrest the dominance of Eastern Xinjiang from the Mu Mansion. This battle drew almost all of Mu's troops in. Fang Xie would rather hand over those territories to stragglers to recover than return them to Mu Guangling.
Sixth, Fang Jie wants to make the Black Banner Army famous in Eastern Xinjiang. Annihilating all the elite of the foreigners in one fell swoop is undoubtedly a huge blow to the foreigners, but it is undoubtedly of great benefit to restoring the morale of the soldiers and people in Eastern Xinjiang. At that time, everyone will know that this battle was fought by the Black Banner Army to build momentum for the Black Banner Army to control Eastern Xinjiang in the future.
There are many, many purposes in it. Fang Jie wants to fight a good battle to create all the advantages he can create after he arrives in Eastern Xinjiang.
big picture
Fang Jie put the entire eastern border in his plan.
Mu Guangling's plan was only to target the Black Banner Army, and he wanted the foreigners to fight against the Black Banner Army.
Schulence's plan was to stabilize his position, which was later transformed into preserving his own strength.
Mox's plan was to replace Hullens and strike at the aristocratic forces that Lyman had asked him to strike at.
It can be said that the latter three are in Fang Jie's plan.
So in the current situation, Fang Jie has the absolute initiative. Even though Hurons' sudden change before made him feel a little urgent, it didn't affect the overall layout.
…
…
"My name is Ke Kebo, and I am the war supervisor sent by His Majesty Lehman. That is to say, I am the highest-ranking official of the imperial army in this battle, so I am here to see you today."
Unexpectedly, the negotiating envoy who appeared in front of Fang Jie turned out to be Ke Kebo.
Moreover, he only brought two followers. Wearing a long robe, he looks like a priest. This is the attire of a servant, so it can be inferred that these two people are just his personal guards.
Fang Jie didn't get up, he didn't need to show any courtesy to the enemy.
"It is rumored that the country in the Central Plains regards itself as a state of etiquette. Why is there no seat for me here?"
Kirkbo asked.
Fang Jie leaned forward: "There used to be a country called Dazheng in the Central Plains. After the son of the founding emperor inherited the throne, in order to show the demeanor of a great country in Zheng, he ordered that all foreigners who entered the Central Plains could eat and drink for free. , and even take away some commodities for free. Does such a move, in your opinion, represent the state of etiquette?"
Andrew stood beside Fang Jie and translated his words, and Kirkbo shook his head to show that he could understand Chinese.
"Her Majesty Lehman once said that to defeat a nation, one must first understand the nation, so I understand your Chinese. It is very difficult for me to learn when I am old, but I still have this perseverance."
Ke Kebo raised his jaw slightly, and looked at Fang Jie provocatively. That means that the Buddha is saying that you don't know your enemy as well as your enemy, so you can't win. In fact, these views he said are all Lehman's views, but Kirkbo deeply agrees with this view.
Moreover, Lehmann is a very persevering and patient person. Before destroying a country, he must first understand the country, learn the customs and language of the country. Lehman once said that he may be the person who masters the most languages in the world.
Fang Jie hummed and agreed: "It's so troublesome, I will go to your Opulu in the future and let you all speak Chinese instead."
After saying this, he looked at the shorter one of the two attendants behind Ke Kebo: "I heard that when Lehmann went to meet Yang Shunhui in disguise, he pretended to be the attendant of the Duke of Hullens, and Yang Shunhui didn't notice it. , it may be because he only cares about presents. Today... it seems that I have encountered the same problem, but... where is my gift?"
