Song Tianxiong was also amazed when his chief of staff said that he was also illuminating his heart. It seemed that in the future battle in the imperial capital, he probably needed to consider more than just winning the battle. As Jing Li said, if His Highness of Qin really ascends the throne and becomes emperor for thousands of years, he would be afraid that countless facilities and wealth in the city would need to be preserved. If those guys who were eager to jump over the wall were damaged by wantonly, it would be difficult for him, the division commander of the Tiger Wing Army, to explain to His Highness of Qin, not to mention the security issues of countless people with close ties to His Highness of Qin and Western Xinjiang.

After nodding slowly, Song Tianxiong obviously accepted Jing Li's opinion and pondered for a long time before saying: "Then our current goal cannot be just on the division of Situ Tai. Once the war breaks out in full, it is hard to say what accidents may happen. Your Highness Qin has such high expectations for us, we cannot let him down. Well, now our vision cannot be limited to the important parts and strategic areas where we control this area. We have to come up with a comprehensive plan. We have to consider that once the situation in the imperial capital is really out of control, such as if the guards are in the leaderless or the guards are in control and cannot use each other, how should we control each strategic areas of the imperial capital as quickly as possible and seize the strategic opportunities. Even if we cannot fully control the imperial capital, at least we must leave enough space for our subsequent troops to take our next action."

Jing Li couldn't help but admire his boss's keen intuition to learn from others. His thinking was only about how to protect important facilities in the imperial capital and ensure the safety of important figures. However, Song Tianxiong was already considering how to seize the strategic key position to prepare for the comprehensive seizing of the imperial capital. However, in any case, the Tiger Wing Army is definitely not without work. He has to contact the General Administration of Intelligence, Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Western Xinjiang Security Agency in the imperial capital to collect various intelligences and prepare for such a huge plan.

"By the way, Ali, the strength of our division is probably a little weak now, especially the special forces. Although two brigades have been added, it is still far from enough. You immediately arrange someone to write a report and ask for the addition of three brigades of special forces to add them to a corps. Only in this way can you take on this task. You might as well write down our intentions in detail. I believe Lord Ling should give you understanding and support." Song Tianxiong slapped the table with the last palm and said that he had to bear such heavy responsibilities. One division is indeed weaker, and the other strengthening division may be barely competent.

Along the east side of the foot of Wushan Mountain is an open and steep mountain. This mountain stretches intermittently from north to south, and the northern end extends to the hinterland of Jinchengfu in Guanxi County, and winds southward to the junction of Lujiang and Baling. In contrast, the southern part of Wushan seems a little more broken and messy, and the distance between the mountains is farther. The turbulent rivers roar out from this mountain area, providing a very sufficient water source for rivers in the southern part of the eastern continent.

After two disasters, the army of the three divisions of the First Legion finally advanced to the high-altitude forest area deep in Wushan. The altitude here is said to have reached 3,400 meters. Along the way, I passed a large area of ​​Hengduan Mountain Hemlock forest distributed in the river valley, and finally entered the Hengduan Mountain Fir Forest. This fir and hemlock were originally thought to be a unique tree species in the Hengduan Mountains. The wood was fine and hard, and it was the first-class wood for making high-end wood carvings and furniture, but I didn't expect it to be discovered in Wushan Mountains. This is already a vertical forest branch on the hillside.

The last area of ​​the cloth is the dark coniferous forest belt of the subalpine mountains. The Hengduan Mountains that form the belt has a spire-like crown that pokes straight into the blue sky. The tree is more than 30 meters high. The trees are dark and wet. The surface and trunks are densely mossed. The forest is covered with tall tree-like azalea bushes. Although the flowering season has passed, you can still see some tall azalea branches with pink or blood-red spherical bouquets, like lit several red waxes in the dark green and dark forest. It is warm and cute. It is called a tree-shaped azalea, which is regarded as auspicious flowers by the Gaoyue people in the Hengduan Mountains.

Arriving in this area means that the army has entered the most difficult area. The biggest problem that plagues the army here is that the thin air makes the soldiers very tired, especially the Tang soldiers of the First Division and the Second Division. Tang soldiers who lack experience in living in high-altitude areas are obviously difficult to adapt to such areas, especially high-intensity marching. Therefore, every marching hour or so, the army has to stop and rest for fifteen minutes to half an hour until the soldiers' physical strength has recovered slightly before moving forward. Fortunately, this area is already the limit of the Wushan Mountain area. If you go up soon, you will enter the snow line area, which is the real test of death for those who have not undergone special training. Fortunately, at least this time, the Western Xinjiang army will not have to face such hardships.

For people in the middle and high-altitude areas in Hengduan Mountains for a long time, this marching at high altitude areas is undoubtedly the best stage to fully demonstrate their physical strength and adaptability. Especially in areas above 3,000 meters, the Third Division left the 1st and 2nd Division behind. Although the Third Division still shouldered the responsibility of opening the road, it did not seem to have any impact on their marching speed. Often, it was the Third Division who opened up a good road and passed by an hour. The First and Second Division would arrive in tired steps, which made it happen.

Qu Bo and Sha Lang, who were unwilling to accept it, had to sigh and beg for the disadvantage. Fortunately, the march in the mountains above 3,000 meters was not long. The guide who was familiar with the terrain route finally chose to cross the Wushan Main Ridge at a steep but relatively close distance. However, even so, the mountain road less than ten miles still took the three divisions six hours to cross the entire journey. From that moment on, the Western Army could gloriously declare to the world that the Western Army had officially crossed the main peak of the Wushan Mountains, which was praised by the Empire as an insurmountable natural danger.

Tall trees such as weeping cypress and alpine cypress form the boundary between forests and meadows. At the rocks, these trees curl up and form a unique forest landscape. Above the forest lines are large areas of alpine shrub meadows, and the Hongzhong Rhododendrons are closely linked to form a dense mountain jungle of 1-2 meters high. It can be imagined that in the spring, its golden flowers will dye the entire hillside yellow. The snow melts late on the hillside, and the azalea bushes cannot grow, but various herbs rush to invade, thus forming alpine grass.

The unique landscape of the marina and the mountain shrubs. Passing through the mountain pass, the speed of the Third Division has greatly accelerated, and the climate change in the mixed forest and meadow areas is more obvious. Sometimes the cold winds make you have to wrap yourself in a jacket, and sometimes the sun shines brightly and even the skin can be roasted for you. However, this is not uncommon for Gaoyue soldiers who have lived in the mountains for a long time. The living conditions in Hengduan Mountains are even worse than here. They can still survive. In comparison, they should be a good place with fertile land and beautiful water.

After passing through the alpine canyon and meadow areas, we enter the downhill area. The eastern foothills of Wushan are much gentler than the western foothills. The gradually declining altitude also makes it easier for soldiers to adapt. After marching more than three thousand meters, the marching in these areas feels much easier.

Wu Town, a small town that is difficult to find on a map, is destined to leave a great name in history. Zhendian, with less than a thousand people, is famous for its local production of medicinal materials, but without this shocking journey, it would never be able to occupy a page in history books.

On August 5, 699, the mainland Gregorian calendar, after nine days of hard trekking, the three divisions of the First Legion of the Western Xinjiang finally stepped out of the Wushan Mountains and arrived quietly at Wu Town on the eastern foot of Wushan Mountain. This is a small town in the westernmost part of Yueyang Prefecture. In addition to medicinal materials merchants, there will usually be no outsiders. This is also the breakthrough chosen by the First Legion of the Western Xinjiang. The anxious receptionists have been waiting here for a week as medicinal materials purchase merchants. They don’t know what happened in the mountainous area, but they still haven’t seen the military outpost after more than two days. This makes them anxious but dare not speak out, so they can only grit their teeth and wait.

Waiting like a torture finally brought about a moment of happiness. When a convoy soldier, who was like a beggar, sneaked into Wu Town with the help of the darkness before dawn to find the reception staff to pick him up, the big stone in the heart of the reception staff who was already exhausted was truly put down. Everything was carried out according to the established plan. Wu Town, which was less than a thousand people, was quickly sealed up by the soldiers who flocked to the West Xinjiang. The soldiers of Xijiang who had experienced a journey of life and death finally had an opportunity to breathe with confidence. The entire Wu Town had been completely covered by the entire Wu Town.
