"I hope the Central Committee of the Empire can see through this conspiracy. Otherwise, if the army is really withdrawn from the Principality of the Gerok, the situation in the Gerok will definitely be reversed. At that time, it is probably the front door to reject the tiger and the back door to enter the wolf. The threat of the Kaman people may be greater than that of the Taiping Sect!" Fielding said worriedly.

"This strategy is not too secret, and it is not very clever to the military people. There is no doubt that they can see through what is hidden behind it, but the question is whether they can convince His Majesty the Emperor not to withdraw troops from Dilok?" Ling Tianfang shook his head slightly, "Although Dilok is important, it is a foreign country after all. Compared with the disasters that his confidant in his country, I think no minister in the court can withstand such pressure! Moreover, those ministers with luck will also think, will the Kamans just want to occupy Dilok? Or may their army take some time to rest after the occupation? Then the empire can extinguish the flames in the country first and consider other things."

"If all the ministers in the court really think, then the Empire Guanxi, Beiyuan and even Heshuo would be really extremely dangerous!" After hearing Ling Tianfang's analysis, Fielding was even more heartbroken. Lu Long's mansion was as dangerous as it was, isn't the Taixuan Mansion that was close to each other? Fortunately, he joined Lord Li, otherwise even if he luckily escaped the evil hands of the supervision department and the military police headquarters, he would inevitably become a prisoner for the Kaman people.

"I judge that the Empire will take this step sooner or later. Today, the Lord has sent information. The two divisions of the Imperial Army, which are marching day and night, were attacked. Almost all the chief officers of the two divisions died. Now the two divisions are still slumped in Tianshui Prefecture and cannot move. They are waiting for the re-appointment of the Imperial Army. This is obviously the trick of the Taiping Sect. It deliberately delays the progress of the Imperial Army and wins more time for them. Their hearts are punished!" Ling Tianfang's voice was low and informed Fielding of the horrifying news.

Fielding was obviously stunned by this sudden news. How could the two regular army divisions of the Dangtang Empire be attacked at the same time? This is simply unheard of new things, and it is Tianshui City located in the inland of the empire! But when he learned about the situation, he realized that using this method could produce such a great effect.

"Then how should we deal with Brother Ling? Lord Li's pressure will definitely be even greater." Fielding followed Li Wufeng with a heart of heart, so Ling Tianfang did not hide anything from Fielding, including Li Wufeng's initial plan, so Fielding asked this question.

"I also hope to have more power to support Lord Li's plan, but now our troops will definitely not be able to move. It would be great if we could redeem the two divisions of prisoners stationed in Jiayuguan, which the Kamans now controlled. " Ling Tianfang sighed quietly.

Fielding's face also darkened. Why didn't he want to redeem those brothers? They were all made by him over the past decade. They were the essence of the army, no less than any regular army, but ended up like this.

"Brother Ling, let's not talk about whether it can be redeemed. Even if it can, I'm afraid the Kamans will not release people at this critical moment, but at this time we need it the most!" A look of pain flashed across Fielding's face. The envoy who came to negotiate with the Kamans had negotiated many times, but the Kamans asked for a price all the time. In his opinion, there was no sincerity, but the other party came to the door on his own initiative.

"But, since Brother Ling said it, I remembered something." Hesitated, but Fielding still said it.

"Oh? You and I are already a family, why do you need to be so distant? Just say what you have." Ling Tian's eyes lit up. At present, as long as there is anything that is beneficial, you should make good use of it.

"Mi Feng, the commander of the Lulong Mansion Security Division, has a good relationship with me, and his subordinates have a good combat power, but the city guard Qiao Xia is the confidant of His Highness. I turned out to be quite a good match with him, but now, I'm afraid I'm not going to do anything with each other." Fielding smiled bitterly at first, then looked right.

"Well," Ling Tianfang also moved his mind, "I wonder how much control Mi Feng has over his subordinates?"

"Although Mi Feng led his troops harshly, he set an example and was always honest. He was very prestigious among the middle and lower-level officers, but his deputy and the other two chief officers may not be." Fielding hesitated for a moment before saying.

"That's great. Why don't you ask someone to contact Mi Feng immediately. It's best if you can get our side. If you can't, I hope he can see the situation clearly and prepare early to deal with the upcoming Taiping Cult. I heard that the Director of the Interior Affairs Office of Lulong Mansion has an extraordinary relationship with the local Taiping Cult." Ling Tianfang nodded.

"Then I'll send someone to contact you right away, but Mifeng has a weird temper and few people can get along well with him." Fielding took the order and left.

The news of the assassination of the head of the Fourth Division of the Third Army was like a bolt from the blue. He Zhiqiu, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Imperial Office, and Lu Wenfu, the Minister of the Interior, were blown away. The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, their faces were pale and as dumb as a wooden chicken.

After a long time, He Zhiqiu fell back to the seat powerlessly and murmured to himself: "It's over, it's over, is it going to destroy me, Tanghe?"

Lu Wenfu, who stroked his forehead with his hand, looked blankly out of the window, and could not say a word for a long time. His internal department's action plan was already blocked by the interference of local forces, and he placed all his hopes on the army that was about to return to the garrison. Unexpectedly, his opponent used such a vicious move, and the daily operation of the army that had lost the chief officer was difficult to maintain. Various contradictions hidden below would immediately appear. There was no energy to assist the internal department in suppressing and exterminating the rebels. Moreover, since the other party dared to act like this, it means that their preparations were at the last moment. This delay could not be stopped by anyone. Perhaps the beacons all over the sky would roar tomorrow, and can the empire's rule be maintained? At this moment, Lu Wenfu, who was as calm as a mountain, couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

At this moment, the two most powerful people in the central part of the Tanghe Empire actually felt powerless in their hearts, as if a broken ship was slowly sinking. No matter how hard the two ships driving the boat used their strength, they could not resolute the general trend of sinking.

He Zhiqiu's heart kept sinking. His eyes floated a little, and finally settled at the place where Lu Wenfu's eyes were set. It was his favorite pot of golden chrysanthemums. The pale yellow stamens emitted a faint fragrance. He often used it to entertain himself. But today, why did the most gorgeous and huge flower on the branches of the pot of golden chrysanthemum wilt for no reason? On the contrary, the few small buds next to it that were not so eye-catching in the wind today, as if they had absorbed the nutrition of the largest flower. Compared with the two, they formed a strange beauty.

Could it be that this sign is something? An invisible pressure fell in the hearts of the two of them and could not be removed.

"Brother Lu, what do you think now?" He Zhiqiu's weak voice was low and hoarse, as if he had changed someone just now.

"Brother He, you must not be discouraged at this critical moment!" Lu Wenfu calmed down and exhaled.

"Oh, this news is really unacceptable. The Taiping Sect's people will definitely be in trouble soon, but we can only sit here and watch them have no choice but to see them. How can you let us accept this reality?!" He Zhiqiu cheered up and said reluctantly.

"How long will it take to restore those two divisions to their original state?" Lu Wenfu went straight to the point.

"It may be difficult for less than a year or two. They were all the leaders of the entire division. Not individuals. They can only be reappointed immediately. They can only be restored to whatever state they can. The situation does not wait for anyone, and they can only do this. I am afraid that the other party will not be able to wait for our steps." He Zhiqiu gradually recovered from the shadow of the huge blow, and his mind gradually became clear.

"The ship will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge, so let's do our best." Lu Wenfu only felt the bitterness that could not be said in his mouth. If the Army could arrive earlier as planned and cooperate with the actions of the internal affairs personnel, there might be a glimmer of hope. Now I can only beg God for blessing.

Just when almost everyone's eyes were directed at the Kansai Prefectures, no one expected that the beacon was ignited first at the westernmost end of Northern Luzon.

October is a season of harvest. Whether it is the shepherds who raise cattle and sheep, farmers who farm, and fishermen who hunt and fish, this is a season worth celebrating. Especially the people of the five tribes living by the green sea swamps have placed their most solemn festival in this season, which is their grandest harvest festival. They will dedicate them to the greatest god in their hearts, the great harvest god in their hearts. This festival is also the best time for the traditional young men and women of the five tribes to court for love. The young men and women who have performed the coming-of-age ceremony can express their love to their beloved without any scruples during these days. Once the two parties fall in love, they can form a bond with the consent of the elders and parents of both parties.

Of course, profit-oriented merchants would not miss this rare opportunity. Merchants from Luzon, Comine, Free City, Indian and Western Regions came here a few days in advance. On the one hand, they acquired the rich local specialties here, and on the other hand, they also brought various goods needed by the people of the five ethnic groups, including luxury goods, from their respective hometowns. Mingzhu Town became the center of this transaction.

The town has prepared spacious venues and provided various services to meet the needs of merchants from all over the world who came to trade. Since a large number of people will pour in around the festival, in addition to the patrol of the Five Nation Self-Defense Forces, a wing guard stationed here also has to patrol day and night to prevent accidents.

In this atmosphere full of joy and peace, there are also some strange situations that are incompatible with the festival. Sixty miles west of Mingzhu Town is the boundary of the Indian Kingdom. At this time, a large number of armed soldiers had gathered there to prepare for the trip. They were covered with black scarves, with cavalry in front and infantry behind, waiting for the commander's order.
