In fact, until Besan was worried, Wufeng did not make up his mind whether to have a real liquidation with Luo Beiren. The Tenggeri Grassland was too big. Even if the East Tenggeri Grassland spans more than two thousand miles, it would be too difficult to defeat Luo Beiren on such a piece of land, and not to mention that he was not ready to fight Luo Beiren to a life and death with Luo Beiren.

Although Luo Beiren was disturbed by the Loulan Rebellion, Wufeng was not surprised. Anyone who saw that his sphere of influence suddenly fell into the center of outsiders would be full of anger. It is understandable to send some people to vent, and it is not least provided help for himself to eliminate these hidden dangers that were usually hidden in the dark. The Chi Di people are now having a big fight with Luo Beiren, fighting and stopping. The purpose of Ka Long is also very clear, which is to contact him to attack Luo Beiren, so that Luo Beiren will be completely defeated, and Chi

The Di people dominate Tenggeli. This idea is actually not in line with the interests of the northwest, nor does it meet the view of Wufeng. The Chi Di people dominate the people. It is not a good thing that Luo Beiren can maintain a certain strength. But the current power of Luo Beiren is not what Wufeng wants to see. In Wufeng's view, giving Luo Beiren a certain blow to weaken its power, and allowing it to even need support from the northwest when resisting the Chi Di people. This level is best in Wufeng's view, but it does require some skills to reach this level of balance.

However, these things have not yet made Wufeng ranked first. What makes Wufeng feel a headache is the current changes in the situation in the Central Plains.

On the night of May 29, 697, the fourth day of the restoration of Wenning Prefecture, ghosts were everywhere on the border of Cangzhou, and the imperial army, which was so dark that it suddenly appeared overnight, was divided into several strategic echelons and gathered in several directions from east to north.

"Your Highness, everything is ready, I'll wait for your order." Zhao Chenghuai, who had a solemn face, was fully equipped with military uniforms, and his light cowhide armor was tightly wrapped around his body. He looked a little thin. A heavy armored man next to him had a tiger's back and bear's waist. The half-arc crescent halberd he lifted was actually made of a full spirit, but it was as if nothing was in his hands.

"Well, it's very good." Nodded, Situ Tai, wearing a Confucian shirt, opened the folding fan in his hand and looked at the rows of soldiers who were ready to go in satisfaction. He was worthy of being the First Legion of the Empire. The momentum he showed alone was enough to prove that the title of First is well deserved to them. However, if you want to clear your reputation of retreating without fighting, you need to prove it through today's battle. Turn your head and casually ask another casual man who has been following behind him, "Is there any change in the situation over there?"

"When you go back to your highness, based on the information we have obtained, there is no movement in the Taiping Tribe. In addition to the 20,000 troops stationed in the capital city of Cangzhou, another 10,000 troops stationed in Zhaojiaji, an important town in southern Cangzhou. Uh, it is used to guard against the imperial army in the south." The man following Situ Tai quickly answered.

"Your Highness, no need to worry. Whether it is 20,000 or 30,000, they are just some ants. Our previous show of weakness was regarded as a capital for showing off by these guys. No matter how many people they have, they cannot stop our First Legion from moving forward. Please believe that we can definitely resolve the battle within a week!" The following words were the majestic man beside Zhao Chenghuai, with a fat face, his thick lips turned around and exposed a mouth of white teeth. His furry hands were like ape's arms, and he was assembled. The crescent halberd originally inserted into the soil brought a large piece of soil and suddenly rose up.

"Well, Long Ping, it's good to have confidence, but you can't underestimate the enemy. In addition to the 30,000 regular Taiping Army, the Taiping Army also has tens of thousands of local militias. Don't be careless, don't capsize the ship in the gutter." Although Situ Tai was eager to take Cangzhou to present a gift to his father, he did not dare to be careless. After all, this first legion is his foundation. He can lose the land of one mansion and two mansions, nor is he willing to damage the army of a division. If the land is lost, it can be recaptured. A strong army that has been experienced for a long time cannot be trained in a short period of time. This is the capital he relied on to start his own business.

The one who spoke to him was one of the military generals he admired the most. Tie Longping, the commander of the First Division, was a capable general who seemed rough but was actually very smart inside. Especially the other party's superb martial arts had reached a considerable level. Even in the first legion with many good skills, there were very few people who could challenge him. In previous competitions of the First Legion, Tie Longping always liked to show off his skills regardless of his identity. Even Zhao Chenghuai was very dissatisfied with his shi-identity behavior, but he always won the heartfelt admiration of the lower-level soldiers every time.

"The time is here, please ask your highness to issue an order." Zhao Chenghuai glanced at the jogging commander, bowed and bowed to Situ Tai for advice.

"Well, order all units to set off and the troops enter Cangzhou!" Situ Tai nodded, took the order flag from the commander-in-chief of the Northern Military Region and handed it to Zhao Chenghuai, commander-in-chief of the Northern Military Region. Zhao Chenghuai took it with serious hands and handed it over to the vanguard official Tielongping. With a command, dense soldiers immediately rushed into the night and headed towards their destination.

It was not until the afternoon of May 30 that Xiang Qianqiu, the Cangzhou Taiping Sect Prefecture, who was still intoxicated by fine wine and beautiful women, was informed that the imperial army had broken through the Taiping Army's defense line from the east and north directions and rushed towards the Cangzhou Prefecture City in the center. It was said that it was a breakthrough. In fact, the Taiping Army did not have much defense. As a result, a large number of elite Taiping Army had been transferred to the Heshuo area in the south. According to the agreement reached with Situ Tai, the military was not stationed within 50 miles of the border area between Cangzhou and Yunzhong and Yanshan County, as the sincerity of both sides as mutual guarantee. Over this period of time, the Taiping Army, which had been pacified for a long time, seemed to be content with the status quo. Even Xiang Qianqiu knew more about the idea that the Highness was in his heart, so he was more at ease with the rare leisure life in this troubled times.

Xiang Qianqiu was shocked by the imperial army's sudden attack by tearing down the agreement, but he was not very nervous. As a veteran in the political arena, he had already learned how to manipulate his boat in this ups and downs of officialdom. He was neither a great hero with national justice nor a domineering person who could do other people's fate. So leave those worrying things to the so-called heroes and overlords to do, and he only needs to understand and grasp the degree in between.

As early as the first time after surrendering to the Taiping Sect, Xiang Qianqiu keenly grasped the pulse of the times. A confession had already been handed over to the desk of Situ Tai, who was retreating heavily at that time. Situ Tai was also a wise man. He could not only understand the other party's difficulties, but also responded with kindness. At that time, he handed over a reply letter to the envoy, which was the magic weapon that Xiang Qianqiu relied on for survival.

It seems that it is time to fulfill the promise. Xiang Qianqiu was lying on the bed and thinking calmly, but his hands were still raging on his pampering concubine. Hehe, it is ever-changing, and it is still in his own prediction. I guess the city is already in panic at this time. It is good that he will drag it up again. When the time is right, it is time for him to play his role. Thinking of this, he felt that his whole body was full of strength. He pulled off the silk embroidered bellyband on the concubine's upper body, grabbed the trembling jade rabbit, turned over and lifted the gun and got on the horse, and wanted to do that kind of thing. The concubine under him did not expect that he still had the intention to play these tricks at this time, but seeing that the other party was full of interest, he could only let him show off his might.

At the same time, all the troops stationed in the Taiping Army to defend Cangzhou City have been mobilized, and a 10,000-person team stationed on the southern line also responded immediately. It was too late to return to the Fucheng, so they could only strengthen their defense on the spot, and at the same time sent a message of help to the Taiping Army in the north-yuan area west. The Taiping Army stationed in the Fucheng even mobilized 30,000 militias to cooperate with the 20,000 Taiping Army to strengthen the city defense facilities and actively prepare for war.

The imperial army's two dragons playing with pearl flags were vaguely seen on the horizon. The black infantry phalanx pressed over from the east and north with heavy steps. The wings of the infantry phalanx were heavy cavalry with balanced arrangements. The dark iron leaf armor and horse armor flashed with dazzling black light in the sun. Although the steps were not big, the neat hooves were like waves of thunder, rolling up the yellow dust in the sky, carrying endless pressure. The wide areas on both sides were naturally light armored cavalry. The agile steps and formations showed the powerful momentum that made the Taiping Army standing on the city tower observing the situation feel pressure. Unexpectedly, the imperial army, which was about to collapse two years ago, would have such a performance. This made them surprised and panic. Did they intend to retreat last time?

Although I was not confident enough, I thought that the letter of help had been sent, and I only had to survive these few days, and the army from behind could catch up. With long-term preparation, the city walls of Cangzhou Prefecture City have been repaired and various city defense facilities have been prepared. Although they cannot be compared with those of the strong cities such as the imperial capital and Qingyang, they can be regarded as some foundation in ordinary cities. The Taiping Army guard stationed in Cangzhou Prefecture City is still quite confident about holding on for a few days.
