"Wenxiu, what are you going to do?" Mulige saw Cui Wenxiu's face gradually becoming more resolute. He knew that his colleague must have made a decision in his heart. The more peaceful his tone, the greater the determination he made.

"Look, now the Liberians obviously have set up three attack groups. The eastern front should be a group of the Puer and Dodon coalition forces, with the strongest troops, and it is estimated that they will have more than 550,000 people. I guess they may have three attack points. The first is to enter from the junction of Okhotsk and Yanshan. The terrain of this area is relatively complex, but it is mixed with flat ground and shallow hills. Cavalry and infantry can easily pass through, and there is no danger to defend. You can attack the city of Yanshan Prefecture, or bypass Yanshan Prefecture and go straight to Laizhou; the second attack point may be to enter from Yanshan and Yunzhong, where the terrain is flat here.

Tan, the rivers are sparse, suitable for large-scale battles, especially for the Liberian heavy cavalry. If we are unwilling to fight head-on, they can even advance directly to the city of Peiping. The third attack point is to go south from the border west of Yunzhong. The terrain of this road is similar to the second point, but the conditions are better. From the border between Yunzhong and Yulin, it is almost flat, and the two cities are far apart. This is almost an empty corridor, from here you can go straight to the periphery of the imperial capital. If the Liberians want to create a sensational effect and shake the hearts of the people of the empire, this road is the best choice."

Cui Wenxiu also knew that he needed to explain his thoughts to his deputy. This was a battle related to the survival of the empire. Everyone's honor and disgrace were put second. How to win this battle with the smallest loss is the key. At present, the troops in his hands were obviously unable to cope with the situation put on by the enemy, and he would have to give up the front line or even two lines. Only in this way can he concentrate his troops to annihilate the enemy, use the empire's strong strength to drag down the opponent, and achieve the final victory.

"Wen Xiu's view is that the enemy on the Eastern Front will go to the third attack point? But the third attack point goes deep into the hinterland, and the Imperial Central Intelligence Department has reported that the Japanese army has gathered on a large scale in the Cook Islands and the Ryukyu Islands, and has the intention to land and fight. The third attack line is inland, and it is not easy to support each other with the Japanese army. So there are some questions. I wonder what you think about Wen Xiu?" Mulige frowned.

"Well, this is also a bit contradictory. If the intelligence department reports the situation absolutely accurately and the Japanese really have the intention to land and fight, then I still prefer that the Puer and Dodun people choose the first attack line. As long as Yanshan is pulled out, they can go south to the periphery of Jeju and Zhongzhou to force the imperial capital. Especially if the Japanese are landing and fighting, they must have unexpected wishes. Although it is wishful thinking, it can also play a shocking role. Of course, if the Japanese are just bluffing, the third attack line is the most direct and effective route."

Cui Wenxiu is not a stubborn person, and he also agrees with Mulige's opinions. However, he doubted that with the style of the Japanese who are specializing in self-interest and unfavorable to others, would he take such a big risk and spend so much money to carry out a landing battle that will never return once it fails? Could it be the superficial effort to encourage Liberia's allies to attack with all their might or to sway the flag and shout for Liberia's allies?

"Wen Xiu, I'm afraid that the Japanese have invested a lot this time, and they will not be bluffing. Liyuan Shanchuan is not a fool. Although the Empire has ignored him, he should know that once the Liberians are finished, their ending will be destined. In fact, they even the Maqi Khan know that they are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, and no one can escape. They prosper and all will be done. Therefore, why did the Maqi Khan work so hard in the south to hold Liang Chongxin's southern army so hard, and even mobilize the whole country. In the Nanyang Alliance, the Empire did a deeper job in the early stage, and there were more short-sighted guys. Otherwise, if the Nanyang Alliance worked together to squeeze into a fist and join this major alliance, the situation of the Empire in the south would probably be worse." Mulige also had his own opinion. He was not a blind follower.

"Well, if this is true, the east attack group is the most dangerous. Even if the Japanese only landed in 100,000 troops, we will face considerable difficulties. In addition, the coalition forces of the Puer and the Dutun people will have at least more than 600,000 troops. The troops deployed in our area are less than one-third of the opponent. Although the combat effectiveness of the Dutun and the Japanese army is questionable, the Puer Army has always been strong. In addition, as you said, this is a battle that determines the fate of both sides, I am afraid that even if Kim Jong-yang's Ninth Legion is added to the Thirteenth Legion, it is difficult to resist." Cui Wenxiu seemed to have a few wrinkles on her forehead.

"Well, maybe we really have to give up something, but we have to bear greater pressure. Perhaps the two of us will bear the blame for the people of the empire, especially Wenxiu." Mulige had already realized Cui Wenxiu's idea. This was a difficult choice. Although he knew that if he wanted to cover everything, he might not take care of everything, but if he had to give up directly, he would definitely bear the scolding of the people.

"Hmph, let me take responsibility for the infamy. I, Cui Wenxiu, was not a good person in the eyes of the people. From Northern Luzon to Western Regions, from Tengger to Indian De'an, they were formerly foreign enemies, and now they have become imperial territory. This infamy has been brought to the empire. However, the infamy was originally a different nation, and now they have become Tang clans." Cui Wenxiu curled his lips indifferently, "A general succeeded in thousands of bones, and this victory was also a thousand bones, and he would have to be accused of eternal accusations."

"What are you going to deal with the mid-line cluster and the Western-line cluster?" Mulige had already noticed that Cui Wenxiu might intentionally give up the Western-line and the Central-line. Although the number of troops there was not as strong as the Eastern-line, the Kaman Army and the Sisro Army, which had stronger and more resilient combat power, and had a unified order. Once the war entered, the advantages in this area might be more obvious. Avoiding the strong and fighting the weak was also the best strategy for military strategists.

"Look, the center line cluster must be led by the Kamans, but the northwest county Taixuan is blocked by the Zagros Mountains and Jiayuguan. I think the Kamans will definitely focus on the Telok, Jiama, and Fanlin are also the place where the Kamans are sadly defeated. They are very familiar with this area, and after a period of rule, there are some hidden powers. Now the Fifth Legion is also focused on Fanlin and Jiama. It is not realistic to withstand the attack of Kaman's hundreds of thousands of troops. If there is another legion, it would be much easier. Fortunately, there are still several Ranger regiments to support us. The Privy Council also assigned their Sky Thunder troops and musket soldiers. I plan to let the Sky Thunder troops strengthen their defense in these two places to avoid losing these two places too early, and try to delay time."

Cui Wenxiu's tone was plain, but she couldn't hide her depression. It was almost impossible to defend the Fanlin Armour Horse. Since she had made up her mind to give up the midline, at most she would just put more effort into defense and delay time. It was not that easy to delay time. Although the defense system of Fanlin and Jiama had been rebuilt and improved, since she was determined to sacrifice these two cities, it was impossible to invest too much regular army forces in these two cities. One city and one division was the limit. To stop hundreds of thousands of fierce Kaman troops and delay time, she could only sacrifice these two divisions and the people of the two cities.

Mulige also felt a little sad. The Fifth Legion was also considered the backbone of the Imperial Army. He started out with defense and was known as a rock. However, when facing several times or even ten times the enemy, he could not be spared. He knew that he had gone but never returned, but he had to go. How difficult is this choice?

"The situation in the northwest is similar. Ganlan Fortress and Yinchuan Prefecture will become the most tragic battlefield. In the past two years, the Sisro people have accumulated their energy and their strength has vaguely surpassed the Kaman people. This time the Liberians' union was also led by the Sisro people, which means they are determined to win this battle. Although the Boyinren and Luobei Rangers in the north and the west can only play a role in separating the connection between the empire and the western central continent, and then the army advances eastward and joins the Kaman people to reach the imperial capital.

Their goals, and once the Sithro and the Kamans really meet, are afraid that this battle will be a little difficult to reverse. Even if we win on the Eastern Front, we will be greatly damaged. If we want to completely solve the problem, it will not be possible to do it in a short time. At least the empire will no longer be able to control the Central Continent. Whether it is the Luobei people, the Hansen Alliance, or even the Luzons and the Siorans, they will challenge the Empire's rule in the Central Continent, and the achievements we have worked hard may be gone in an instant."

Cui Wenxiu's voice was low, obviously not optimistic about the current situation. If you want to ensure that the war proceeds according to your plan, you must block the Sisro people in the Northwest County and cannot allow the Sisro people to advance eastward. Even if the entire Western Regions or Northern Luzon is lost, everything can be taken back as long as you can win this battle. However, if the Sisro people and the Kaman people join forces to advance eastward, Guanxi, Beiyuan, and Heshuo are empty and unable to resist. Cui Wenxiu could not predict what the situation would develop in these places.
