Section 78: Turnaround

Thinking of this, Fielding showed a smile on her lips. Is there any other possibility? Besieging Jiayuguan? It was a pure dream. I am afraid that Jiayuguan can last for a year and a half after their own supplies were used up. Will they directly attack Taixuan Mansion City? The cautious Fielding analyzes and eliminates it step by step. It is impossible. If you want to attack Taixuan Mansion City, you must first cut off the connection with Jiayuguan to prevent attacks, but how much troops and time is required? Moreover, you may get the support of the empire at any time, so they can only bring shame on themselves.

But when his eyes fell to the south of Taixuan Prefecture, the experienced Fielding finally felt something strange. Are the troops of the Western Military Region of the Empire a little weak? Seeing that the regular garrisons in the entire Guanxi County and Heshuo County were only a few five divisions left, Fielding was a little uneasy. If his Taixuan Prefecture City was really attacked, it would be difficult for him to get reinforcements from the Empire for a while. Moreover, the garrison of the Western Military Region seemed too thin. If there was any problem that broke out, I am afraid that the existing troops would be difficult to control the situation.

Fielding sighed, hoping not to have the situation he imagined. The situation in the northwest is unstable at the moment, and Li Wufeng is in the imperial capital. If there is really a problem, I am afraid that it is impossible to rely on reinforcements from the northwest. What's more, his relationship with the Northwest Military and Political Administration is in a strange state. It is hard to say whether they will take advantage of the situation to rob.

Just as Fielding was thinking about it, the Kaman army, who had already been ready to go, finally appeared on the land of Taixuan Mansion. The 120,000 army led by Claudia appeared on the southern foot of the Zagros Mountains in the northeast of Taixuan Mansion like a sky, and quickly advanced westward along the lowlands at the foot of the mountain. In addition to the Seventh Army soldiers wearing black battle robes, the other soldiers were all wearing orange and yellow battle robes, showing their unique identity of the Royal Guards. At the same time, the Sixth Army led by Duke Mali also advanced west at the same time, aiming directly at the Taixuan Mansion City, but it seemed that the speed of traveling was much slower.

Fielding, who received the horse-detective information, was a little puzzled in surprise. The 120,000 army advanced west along the edge of the Zagros Mountains, and the target was naturally Jiayuguan. Of course, the Kamans knew the desire for Jiayuguan, but the problem was that they wanted to take Jiayuguan with these 120,000 troops? Fielding subconsciously shook his head. What about the army that came to the capital city? Do you really want to take Taixuan Mansion or just attract Taixuan Mansion to prevent reinforcements from Jiayuguan? Why are their marching speeds so different? Is it that their purpose is Jiayuguan?

A series of contradictory information made Fielding dizzy and unable to judge. But he was not idle. While ordering the Second Security Division stationed in Taixuan Mansion City to quickly enter the state of combat readiness, he also issued martial law orders. He also ordered the officials of the War Readiness Bureau to immediately launch a wartime emergency plan and immediately transfer the reserve personnel to active service. The newly established Fourth Security Division, with the Commander of the War Readiness Bureau as the division commander, immediately doubled the garrison in Taixuan Mansion City to nearly 50,000 people.

While issuing this series of orders, he immediately sent an emergency document to his nominal superior, the Northwest Military and Political Military Governor's Office, requesting that the Northwest Military and Political Governor's Office provide immediate reinforcements, while another fast horse galloped to the city at night and reported it to the military headquarters as quickly as possible.

Looking at the Wanren Xiong Pass in front of him, Claudia couldn't help feeling that this level, which was known as the world's number one level, firmly blocked the southward passage of his country's army, making the army of the Kaman Empire only consumed in front of this pass year after year. In addition to the soldiers of his country who were selling their heads and shedding their blood here, the soldiers of the Sithro Empire who also longed to go south were no fewer bodies discarded here than their own country.

Seeing the coach staring at the level in front of him that no one seemed to have ever been able to conquer the test, Viscount Dominic next to him also sighed softly. As a soldier, he could understand the feelings he could have when the general of the attacking party saw this majestic and impeccable level. This was a helpless feeling that made people feel hopeless.

The majestic city walls, wide moats, complete crossbows, stone casters, castles, arrow holes, and even neatly discharged rolling wood and rocks. The dangerous mountains around are enough to discourage anyone. The front wall is cleaned up, and there is nothing but the moat, and there is no place to hide a foothold.

"His Marquis, the soldiers are waiting for your instructions." Seeing that Zhu Shuai had not come back to his senses for a long time, Dominic had to quietly remind him.

"Oh, order the Seventh Corps to garrison the left and right wings, and the Guards are in the middle to camp. Lord Viscount, please arrange the scout mission, pay attention to the situation on our flanks and behind, and send someone to contact Duke Miley immediately and tell him that we have entered the attack area as planned. Send someone to contact there and tell them that we will launch an attack in three days." Claudia then woke up from a dream and returned to his calmness.

"As for the order." Dominic nodded and immediately went down to make arrangements.

On the sea east of Yuhang Prefecture in Jiangnan is a group of more than a hundred islands. It is the Zhoushan Islands, which is famous for its beautiful scenery in the Empire. Among them, Putuo Island is the most famous island. The beaches on the island are as snowy as snow, the strange peaks on the island are protruding, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. There is a famous Putuo Temple and Tingchao Pavilion that enjoys the sea scenery. This is also the location of the imperial royal summer resort palace. Almost every year, His Majesty the Emperor comes here for vacation and cooling off during the hottest months of the year, and this year is no exception.

Putuo's scenery is beautiful, with the harmonious blend of mountains and waters, the endless blue sea and the soft white beaches as white as silver. All of this makes people feel refreshed. But He Zhiqiu, who was accompanying the tour, never let go of his official duties. Although the army on the southern front maintained strong pressure on the Maqi Khans, the Maqi Khans never put their Imperial Corps on the front line of confrontation with the empire. Fortunately, Lei Juetian was assassinated and seriously injured.

The Maqi Khan suddenly lost his backbone and could not take timely response measures. The reinforcements of the Nanyang Alliance only stayed in Jiaxi City in the Kingdom of Napoli and were no longer willing to move forward. Thinking of this, He Zhiqiu couldn't help but sincerely thank the unknown force for the assassination, which at least made the Maqi Khan unable to make too big moves in the near future. This is too great for the Lin Lang family, and his plan has basically achieved its goal.

However, the information sent from the imperial capital in the past two days has caused He Zhiqiu to worry a lot. The imperial inspection and visiting team aroused public anger in the northwest, Gaoyue barbarian soldiers mutiny, local governments are unable to respond, and the situation in the northwest is turbulent, all of which makes He Zhiqiu feel a headache.

He Zhiqiu had long known the greed and shamelessness of the nobles. He didn't expect that in the northwest where the ethnic composition was complex, he actually made such a big mistake. Gao Yue barbarians were barbarians that Li Wufeng finally recovered. How could these pig-brained nobles anger them? Even those barbarians would tear them and would even applaud them. However, the impact on His Majesty the Emperor was a huge hit. After all, the nobles were the cornerstone of the empire. Although they had fallen to an extreme point, the empire still could not sit idly by.

But how can it be proved that this was not a conspiracy directed by Li Wufeng himself? Could it be that the northwest left Li Wufeng really became so out of control? He Zhiqiu was full of doubts about this, but the information sent by the intelligence department was vague about it and could not be confirmed. For this reason, He Zhiqiu and His Majesty the Emperor had discussed it twice, but could not reach an agreement.

He Zhiqiu knew the pressure that His Majesty the Emperor was under. The relatives and friends of the nobles were also famous people in the upper class of the empire. They traveled thousands of miles to send representatives to Putuo, and they were entangled in front of His Majesty all day long, asking His Majesty to immediately let Li Wufeng return to the northwest to stabilize the overall situation to ensure the safety of the nobles' lives. This time, even Ning Yuanwang and others succumbed to the pressure of the nobles and dared not insist on opposing the opinions. It seemed that only the Lord Highness supported him in the entire court, but He Zhiqiu knew that His Majesty was not really standing by his side. He had his own ideas.

With his own efforts and persistence, His Majesty the Emperor finally accepted his opinion and asked the court to send officials to the northwest to immediately understand the truth and make a conclusion. But at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor summoned him immediately. Will there be any changes?

His Majesty's face was so gloomy that it was scary, and the ministers and princes beside him were also in gloomy faces. When He Zhiqiu took the front line report, the head of the head suddenly buzzed.

The Kaman army invaded the Principality of the Trilock and the Empire Taixuan Prefecture. Taixuan Prefecture and Jiayuguan were in a hurry at the same time, and the western military region had almost no more troops to be transferred. However, the other party asked for help from the northwest because the situation was unstable and the empire requested immediate assistance.

After carefully calculating the enemy's strength, the Kamans sent more than 400,000 troops this time. It was obviously not a small action, but a real big action. He Zhiqiu, who had received information about the situation in Guanxi before leaving the capital, had already noticed the hidden dangers in Guanxi. The current military force in the Western Military Region had reached an extremely dangerous level. At this moment, he did not dare to transfer the army stationed in Guanxi County and Heshuo County to Taixuan for reinforcement. Otherwise, once a riot occurred as Lu Wenfu said, it would probably not be the gains and losses of one city and one place, and what followed might be chaos throughout the country.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that Li Wufeng return to the northwest immediately and order him to stabilize the local situation immediately and lead the troops to reinforce Taixuan to ensure the stability of Taixuan Mansion. I estimate that the purpose of the Kaman people is Taixuan Mansion. Once Taixuan is lost, Jiayuguan will become an isolated city. Even if it lasts for a long time, it will fall sooner or later." He Zhiqiu, who made up his mind, showed extraordinary decision, contrary to the attitude of firmly disagreeing with Li Wufeng's return to the northwest two days ago.

The change in He Zhiqiu's attitude surprised Situ Mingyue. At this moment, he hesitated a little, "He Aiqing, can we let the Xibu Military Region or the City Guards go to reinforce first?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. Your Majesty, the city guards cannot unravel the near fire from afar, and the troops in the western military region have reached the minimum number and must not be moved. Otherwise, if something happens, they may not be able to deal with it." He Zhiqiu's attitude was extremely firm.
