Chapter 1209
When the news that Cheng Dayou led his army to Dengzhou reached Hanzhong, Wufeng was leading a group of civil and military officials under his command to welcome Kamapov, who returned with honor.
At this time, Yulin had recovered without any suspense, and had no battle or even threats and negotiations. Less than a week after the Prime Minister of the Sisro Empire, Pokaninski visited Heisen City, the capital of the Kingdom of Puer Kingdom, and met with King Sezerif IX of the Kingdom of Puer Kingdom, the army of Puer Kingdom, who had been stationed in Yulin City to strictly block the people of Yulin, disappeared silently overnight. The speed of disappearing was so fast that even the people in Yulin City did not realize this when they woke up the next morning. It was not until the people were surprised to find that the Puer soldiers standing on the walls and the Puer guards at the gate had disappeared without a trace. They gradually understood that the Puer people staged another victory escape.
This credit should of course be attributed to the desperate battle carried out by Kamapov, who led the Fifth Legion. It was this bloody battle that shattered the idea of the Northern Army's undefeated myth of the Western Frontier Army in one fell swoop. This battle directly made the two allies who had been firmly supporting Situ Tai lose their confidence in Situ Tai. Without the support of these two families, Situ Tai even maintained a complete line of defense, let alone anything else.
In this battle, the Fifth Legion completely defeated the famous Western Xinjiang team, which is known for its defense. The name of the Round Stone Army, which Wufeng personally nominated, was immediately embroidered on the flag of the Fifth Legion. A angular black stone floated on the flag for decades, and followed the footsteps of the Fifth Legion.
However, the Fifth Army also suffered unprecedented losses in this battle. Due to the insufficient reserve troops in Kansai County, the largest source of reserve troops, the Fifth Army even faced a large number of shortages, which seriously hindered the recovery and training of the Fifth Army. Under Wufeng's personal inquiries, the War Readiness Department urgently dispatched some reserve soldiers from Northwest County and Beiyuan County, and transferred all the Gaoyue Militia Reserve Division of Zhongnan County, which originally wanted to supplement the Fourth Army to the Fifth Army, to make up for the complete organization of the Fifth Army. The Fourth and Sixth Army, which also suffered huge losses, had to hold their anger and accepted the cleanup of the compressed troops from Situ Biao's troops in the Wuhu area, and drew elite veterans from these troops to supplement their own troops.
This is a celebration of not large scale. In fact, the victory congratulations of the people to celebrate the victory of the defense of the Yunzhong have already been held, but the Fifth Legion stayed in the Yunzhong. It was not until Yulin recovered that the Fifth Legion returned to Guanxi to rest. Take someone who attended the celebration, who was able to attend the meeting was a prominent figure who was able to occupy a position in the later "History of the Founding of the Empire".
Wufeng also took great pains to hold this celebration banquet. He was not worried about the banquet itself, but was worried about the arrangement of the people attending the celebration banquet. Lin Yuexin had clearly stated that he wanted to attend this celebration banquet to congratulate the General Panshi who defended the northern border of Tang Hebei. Lin Yuexin's participation means that the two girls An Qier and Situ Yutang seemed to be invited, which caused trouble in how to arrange their positions. Wufeng naturally sat on the upper seat, but who sat next to Wufeng? And who was sitting on the left seat? According to the customs and conventions of Tanghe, the left is supreme, and who could sit on the left seat of Wufeng, which indicates who could become the first concubine of His Highness Qin King, or even the future empress of the empire. At this time, Wufeng did not think that it was the best time to announce his first harem candidate.
In the end, Su Qin had an idea for Wufeng to get through the difficulties. Before Kamapov arrived in Hanzhong, he deliberately arranged for Angel to go to Heshuo to attend the ceremony of He Jing as Governor Heshuo, and asked Situ Yutang to go to Yueyang to preside over the ceremony of Su Minshuo as Governor of Wuhu. This not only showed the importance of the identity of the two women, but also made the two women unable to attend such a small but high-standard celebration banquet, which avoided the attention of the outside world to the celebration banquet.
In addition to Ling Tianfang, the other three directors of the agency attended the celebration banquet, and Bo Jinchen also replaced Ling Tianfang to represent the Military Affairs Office. Three people including James, Yang Zhengbin and Rao were also invited to attend the private banquet held in the Qin Palace. The reason why the banquet was so high was not for other reasons, but because the dinner was a special thank-you banquet specially designed by His Highness the King of Qin to help him overcome this difficulty. The chef was known as the No. 1 chef in the harem of His Highness the King of Qin to cook in person. He could get such high courtesy. No wonder Molen, who had always been late for banquets, rushed to the Qin Palace to wait and taste the dinner.
The candidates who were separated from Wufeng's sides naturally became Lin Yuexin and Princess Anne. Although Princess Anne has rarely participated in any social activities in Xijiang, she has a marriage contract with herself, whether it is a political marriage or an arranged marriage, and is in a stable situation of Jeroke. Wufeng knew that she had to be married to this woman, although she might not be willing.
Charlotte's first-hand Lucai won everyone's praise. Even Moron, who has always liked to pick bones in eggs, had to admit that Wufeng was able to occupy such a woman because of his ancestors' virtue.
"Your Highness, the East China Sea is settled!" The letter in his hand was browsing by at a glance, and Bo Jinchen couldn't help but stand up and salute excitedly: "Cheng Dayou conquers Dengzhou!"
"Oh?" A stone stirred up a thousand waves. Even Wufeng himself was shocked by the sudden good news. Lin Yuexin, who was still sitting beside him, quietly pulled his beloved and woke Wufeng up from the loss of composure.
"On October 19, the 1st Division of the Eighth Army of the Western Xinjiang captured Dengzhou and captured more than 3,000 northern police forces, and our army was not injured or killed." He simply passed the letter to a group of excited and inexplicable officials. Bo Jinchen smiled and said with a slight drunkenness: "Your Highness, it seems that unifying the empire by March next year is not a dream. The loss of Dengzhou means that Situ Tai can no longer control the East China Sea. I dare to assert that the entire East China Sea will surely surrender to the West China!"
"Why is Jinchen so sure? I remember two days ago, you said that if you could enter the imperial capital when the summer is coming next year, you would be quite satisfied? Why are you so sure now?" Wufeng's mood rushed to the top with this good news. With three cups of heroic blood in a row, he felt like a ball of fire was burning in his chest, and he wanted to roar to the sky to vent his erection. The long-cherished wish for many years was about to be realized in one go. How pleasant is this pleasure?
"I underestimated this Cheng Dayou. I didn't expect that this guy was actually playing a trick of fighting the east and west in Luyang. If the army wanted to attack the city from Pengcheng, Luyang, like this, even if we could win this battle, it would probably take two or three months to unify the East China Sea. Especially Jinling, it is known that the dragon and tiger lingering, and the city is strong and thick. If Situ Tai concentrates heavy troops to defend, we will pay a considerable price if we want to attack. Now, when Dengzhou is lost, the north is cut off in half. Donghai people are in the middle.
My heart must belong to me, and there is no suspense in the entire East China Sea battle. As long as you adopt appropriate policies to attack your heart, I believe that Jinling is within your fingers." Bo Jinchen gently stroked the few strands of dry beards under his jaw and made a firm conclusion: "Once Jinling is obtained, the three capitals of the Empire will all belong to His Highness. In fact, it doesn't take much effort, and Situ Tai is unable to support it. Even if there is support from external forces, it will be useless. If a smart person is smart, he will offer his land and city as soon as possible to seek wealth."
"Your Highness, maybe you should consider the capital. Whether the emperor is suitable for the new capital is probably still to be discussed. It may not be a bad thing to consider this matter earlier." Perhaps it was influenced by Bo Jinchen's optimistic view that Su Qin, who had never liked to talk about serious matters on such occasions, also pondered and expressed his own opinion: "In the past, the Tanghe Empire established the capital of Zhongzhou because Zhongzhou was located in the center of the empire. However, now our western border is west to the Central Continent, south to the South Ocean, northwest to the extreme north of Tianbing Ocean to the north. If the vastness of the land has far surpassed the Tanghe Empire in the past, the capital should be considered in many aspects. However, controlling the entire territory is the first factor that needs to be considered earlier. Otherwise, if the matter is at the forefront, it will be difficult to argue, which will delay major events."
"Su Qin, is it a bit too early to talk about the capital establishment? Situ Taike still has an army of 100,000 or 200,000 troops in Yanyun. Even if Jinchen said just now, he would still have the four Yanyun palaces in Situ Tai's hands. There were Japanese and Duodu people behind him, and the trapped beasts were still fighting. We cannot underestimate him." When the matter came, Wufeng became more calm and his blood was surging. Su Qin's words to set the capital into Wufeng's heart like a sedative, and immediately asked Wufeng to remind himself not to be proud. There were too many heroes in history who were knocked down at the last moment, so he could not make the same mistake. The more this time, the more cautious he should be.
