Chapter 1117
Baling Mansion fell into the hands of the Maqi Khan in a chaotic situation.
No one had ever thought that Situ Biao would suddenly leave at a critical moment. When the whole city suddenly issued a martial law order in the daytime, it caused panic among the gentry of Baling Prefecture. However, Situ Biao personally came to appease the gentry and merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, saying that it was just because Lujiang discovered that there was an abnormal movement of the Western Xinjiang army, Baling temporarily entered a state of martial law to facilitate the army's mobilization and adjustment and prevent the spies in the Western Xinjiang army from spying on the mobilization of the Wuhu army. He hereby invites the gentry and merchants of the Chamber of Commerce.
Give understanding and support. Situ Biao's explanation barely calmed the merchants' anxiety, but after nightfall, the entire Baling Mansion City started to make a fuss like a noisy market. The troops withdrawn from Heshouguan entered the city. The garrison in the city requisitioned all the transportation tools of the entire Baling Mansion City, transporting all the food and materials stored in Baling City, either boarding the ship at the Baling Wharf or leaving the city directly from the east gate without returning.
Although the people who were trapped in martial law had no way to know what was going on in the city, when they saw a load of vehicles and ships leaving Baling to the east, everyone had a bad premonition, that is, His Highness Xiang had lost confidence in defending Baling City. However, they never dreamed that when the new day of the Red Sun rose, there were no soldiers left in the entire Baling City, and all the troops and officials disappeared overnight. Only at this time did everyone realize that His Highness Xiang had already made up the idea of abandoning Baling, and using a delayed strategy was to paralyze the people's thoughts and allow them to successfully transfer all funds and materials.
Just as the whole city was in chaos, the Maqi Khans who had ruled Baling made a comeback again. When the Maqi Khans' flying wolf flag was inserted into the top of Baling City again, the Baling people realized that their homes had changed their masters overnight. The 10,000 soldiers of Bakliyaer and the Yuejing Servant Corps did not spend much effort to occupy Baling. In their eyes, the chaos of Tanghe people were simply waiting for their arrival. When their vanguard cavalry advanced to the bottom of Baling City, Baling City was not even locked.
At this time, the 2nd and 3rd Division of the First Army of the Western Xinjiang, which had already received the news, was one step late. When the Maqi Khans had already begun to take over the defense of Baling City, the 2nd and 3rd Division was still 160 miles away from Baling City. Even if they were forced to march, it would take at least one and a half days to arrive. The strength of the Maqi Khan army that occupied Baling City was still unclear, which put the Western Xinjiang Army who went south in a difficult situation. If they continued to move south, the two divisions would have only more than 40,000 people, unknown intelligence and no reinforcements. The outcome of such a battle was unpredictable. It was difficult to get the match if they lost the battle. More importantly, they would have lost the spirit of the Wuhu Lakes in the east and became a sinner. This made Huang Lianyong and Shan Yao a little confused for a while.
Standing at the bustling city of Baling, Ruan Deyong, the commander of the 20,000-person team of the Servant Corps of Yuejing State, was extremely complicated at this time. The commander of the same clan and surname was already excited to celebrate the achievements with the ignorant Maqihan Wanqi Chang, and easily won a large mansion in Wuhu County, which is known as the granary of the Eastern Continent. Even Ruan Deyong himself was surprised. He had always maintained great respect for the military strength of the Tanghe Empire, and could not help but wonder. Could it be that the Tanghe Empire was really completely declining as the Maqihan said, and even reached the point of being ravaged by others? Ruan Deyong could not believe this statement. At least the army under the command of the Qin King Li Wufeng of the Tanghe Empire had defeated the arrogant Maqihan hundreds of thousands of troops on the peninsula. Could it be that the difference between the Tanghe people from the origin of the lineage would be so great?
However, all of this is not the main reason why Ruan Deyong is restless. Baling City has been taken down, but the entire Baling Mansion has not yet recognized its new owner. The threat of the Western Xinjiang army from Yueyang in the north has been highlighted, and the guests who have just visited him even more upset him. Although Ruan Deyong, who once served in the former National Defense Forces of Yuejing Kingdom, was still somewhat suspicious of the other party's words on the surface, he had long realized the authenticity of the other party's words in his heart.
Since the fall of the Kingdom of Yuejing, His Highnesses have been exiled to Tanghe with the former king Li Deguang and have been living in Zhongzhou, the capital of the Tanghe Empire. According to Ruan Deyong, the national self-rescue army in the former place of Yuejing, which is now known as the so-called Maqikhan State's province, although the national self-rescue army in the territory of the Maqikhan State's Levitra was supported by the Lin family of the Sanjiang Kingdom, in fact, the Li family was supported by the Li family, especially the Princess Qingke, which is said to have a very high status in the national self-rescue army. The national self-rescue army has been active very frequently in the old places of Yuejing, and the reorganized servant corps are unwilling to break up with the National Self-rescue Army to fight. The Maqikhans seemed to have also seen this, so they transferred the three Vietnamese corps formed to the border between the Eastern Front and the Milan people and the Northern Front and the Tanghe Empire to station on the border between them.
Now the person here clearly requires that he surrender or at least remain neutral in the upcoming Baling battle. Although Ruan Deyong himself cannot infer the authenticity of the handwritten book of Princess Qingke, since the three princesses have been living around Li Wufeng, it is said that there is still a possibility that he will become Princess Li Wufeng. It should be said that this handwritten book will not be a problem. However, this has pushed himself into a dead end. He either betrayed the Maqi Khan immediately or will be regarded as a traitor and traitor by the Yuejing people in Yuejing who still resisted the Maqi Khan. Ruan Deyong couldn't help but want to scold his corps commander of the same surname. If he hadn't been very happy with the merits, how could the Maqi Khan let his party be this scapegoat?
But now that the scolding is no longer effective, the army of the Western Xinjiang people has approached Baling, but Ruan Wenjin and other idiots don’t know yet. The question before him is what should I do? Keep staying in the camp of the Maqi Khan? Then I may have to go to the end of this road. Now the power in the Western Xinjiang is in full swing, and it seems that it is not appropriate to turn against the other party openly. Now he is in the arms of the Western Xinjiang people, and there are some doubts. Yuejing is still in the hands of the Maqi Khan. If he rebels like this, the officers and soldiers have more or less relatives in their hometowns. If he rebels, what kind of reaction will the Maqi Khan make?
The conflicting mood was entangled in Ruan Deyong's heart. He was sure that the visitor would not only find him. Chen Renwen, the captain of the 10,000-person team, was Ruan Wenjin's confidant. It is estimated that Xijiang should also know whether they would come to the door. However, Li Zhengyang, the captain of the 30,000-person team, was more ambiguous than his attitude. The visitor would definitely not miss this opportunity. In this way, it is hard to say what changes the corps will change when facing the attack of the Western Army. Ruan Deyong carefully studied and analyzed the situation. The Western Army has now heard that it has been taken down.
With Yueyang and Huanggang, even the Fifth Army of the Empire had been sent to Xijiang. It seems that Li Wufeng has gained an absolute advantage in the south, but it is not clear which team they sent to capture Baling. However, the First Army of the Western Xinjiang has always been known as the strongest legion in Xijiang. Whether it is the pure infantry division of Gao Yue people or other mixed divisions, the combat effectiveness of it is extraordinary. Whether he can defend it on his side is also a question mark. If he can understand the situation and observe the style, it is best to understand the ideas of Li Zhengyang. It is best to be able to be consistent.
Just when Ruan Deyong was still thinking about Li Zhengyang's attitude, Li Zhengyang had already spoken loudly to the meeting of the special envoy of the Western Xinjiang intelligence that was coming: "Mr. Special Envoy, please rest assured. The Maqikhan is just a group of semi-civilized barbarians and does not understand any civilization at all. They have nothing to do except conquer by force. We Yuejing have always admired the empire. Now we heard that Princess Qingke has privately formed a Yuanyuan Alliance with His Highness the King of Qin. This kind of heavenly match is exactly what we Yuejing people hope to see. Even if His Highness the Special Envoy does not come to find Li this time, Li is also considering how to help His Highness the King of Qin if His Highness the King of Qin wants to recover Baling Li. It would be better to have the special envoy to help His Highness the King of Qin. My 30,000 team is absolutely fine. As long as the Western Xinjiang army starts to attack the city, Li will immediately lead the army to fight back!"
"Mr. Li can say this, so he has let go of most of his heart. The Maqi Khans have implemented colonial rule in Yuejing. Qingke, Qingshi, and Qinyun are deeply saddened. His Highness of Qin has long helped the people of Yuejing to free themselves from the clutches of the Maqi Khans. However, the conditions are not yet mature and have not been able to do so. This opportunity is a good opportunity to attack the Maqi Khans. The Maqi Khans do not have many troops stationed in Yuejing. If this opportunity can be used to weaken the Maqi Khans' strength in Yuejing, and now most of the Maqi Khans' forces are dragged by us.
On the peninsula, it may be possible to add a lot of chances to the restoration of Yuejing." It is too late for the foreign affairs department to send special envoys. At this time, the intelligence officials can only temporarily perform the power of foreign affairs officials and negotiate with the other party on behalf of Xijiang. As long as we can win this battle, it is worth making many promises. "I don't know what the relationship between General Ruan Deyong and Lord Li? We also want General Ruan to remain neutral in this battle, so that we can minimize the losses of both of us and avoid unnecessary sacrifices."
