Section 78 Sharpening the knife (4)
Wufeng, sitting in the chair, fell into deep thoughts, and a series of changes followed one after another, which made people feel at a loss. Tomorrow is the funeral of His Majesty the Emperor, but at this joint, he received a special military emergency from the northwest. Gu Ji didn't even have time to cover up and passed the information to Angel. Angel didn't care whether it was too late to come to the door overnight. If this series of actions fell into the eyes of those who were interested, it would cause suspicion immediately, but he didn't care much about this matter.
Without looking at the map, Wufeng's mind can clearly show the geographical topographic map of the entire Beiyuan and surrounding areas. From the south of Lulong, Liupan Mountain and Dayunling are winding across the south of Qinghe, separating Beiyuan and Guanxi, forming a natural barrier in the sense. It is said to be a natural barrier in the sense that although the continuous mountains here block traffic, it is not a human or animal connection. Living in the mountainous areas of this region, long-term walking by hunting and collecting herbs for living, can also cross these seemingly natural barriers. These situations have long been mastered after the Northwest Army controlled Guanxi. Of course, if the logistics of the supplies and horses are not enough to cross these mountainous areas, they can only go north or south through the Huashuiyu Valley in the southeast corner of Pinglu, which becomes the only important way to communicate north and south.
Wufeng originally did not agree with Liang Chongxin's suggestion. Although he could turn from Pinglu to the east end of Dayunling to the rear of Huashui Valley, Wufeng did not doubt that this plan would be successful under Liang Chongxin's planning. In this way, the Taiping Army of Anyuan Peace Land would be locked west of Pinglu. It would be reasonable if the Nanjielu army cooperated to go south and swallowed the two prefectures in one fell swoop, especially when the Taiping Cult's rebellion caused unprecedented chaos in this area. However, at this sensitive time, what would the large-scale military action of his Northwest Army bring to the imperial court and ordinary people? Wufeng could not predict how the imperial court and the gentry would view the Northwest Army's actions at this time. If there was a rebellious mood about it, it would be a bit of a loss.
However, the ambassadors from the Principal of the Terlock to the imperial capital revealed that their intelligence personnel in the North Terlock had discovered that the Kamans' forces in the Fanlin area were growing rapidly, which aroused the concerns of the Terlock, so they specifically reminded themselves. Wufeng did not believe that the Kamans would choose to attack the South Terlock, the Northwest Army, the Tellock army and the Imperial Division of the Terlock to attack more than 100,000 troops stationed in Morlington. In addition, the fortifications of Morlington have been reinforcing. Wufeng did not believe that the Kamans would chew on the hard bone of Morlington in this situation. This can only show one problem. The time is ripe, and the Kamans are going to take action against their allies Taiping!
What to do? Once the Kaman takes action, it will definitely be a rush of thousands of miles. The Taiping Cult has already made the heavens angry and resentful in Beiyuan, and the combat effectiveness of the two armies is even more incomparable. I am afraid that once this torrent swept over, even the western part of Yanyun in the east may be affected. If the Kaman is joining forces with the Pooles, I am afraid that Situ Tai will be irresistible even if he has the help of the kingdom, especially the information shows that the Second Legion is already moving southeast.
The goal seems to be the East China Sea. Is Situ Tai trying to control the East China Sea, or is she already discovered that the north was abnormal and intentionally leaving the southward passage? Thinking of this, Wu Feng was sweating even more. If this is true, Situ Tai would be too shameless. In order to preserve his strength, he actually made such a bad move. Once the Kamans and the Puer people really went south, the consequences of this will not be reasonable than the Taiping Tribune uprising and the Maqi Khans going north. The entire north will definitely become an occupied area of alien races.
No, it can't be like this. But even if I immediately ordered the Northwest Army to go north, can the Northwest Army resist the surging Kaman army going south? Wufeng, who had fought with the Kaman people, knew that the Kaman army was so powerful that it was definitely the best in the Eastern Continent, especially their armored heavy cavalry could fully play the role of rushing to the camp in such field battles in the northern plains. The only way was to avoid their edge and rely on the strong city to resist. But would the Kaman people not think of this? I was afraid that the armored cavalry in front would open the way, and the rolling infantry behind would follow closely. Facing the enemy with absolute advantage, I was afraid that it would not be able to withstand the opponent's impact at all.
It's too late! What should I do? Wufeng couldn't help but sigh to the sky. The current situation is probably the only way to ensure the safety of his side, and he also hopes that Liang Chongxin's actions will come quickly enough! As for what will the north become? He is really powerless.
Although there are some things that cannot be helped, the necessary work needs to be done. "Come and prepare the car!"
"Where are you going?" An Qier, who had never been in charge of the country, had never been so anxious, and she sighed, sometimes regretted, sometimes depressed, sometimes depressed.
"First go to the Jilin Mansion of the Minister of Military Affairs, and then go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion!" Wufeng took the outer shirt handed over by Angel and said, "You go back and rest first, I'm afraid you won't be safe tonight."
"What? What did you say?" I was a little uneasy about Wufeng's late-night visit. At this moment, the King of Northwest came to his mansion. Wouldn't there be many people talking? But when he saw Wufeng in his clothes, Jilin was stunned by the other party's words.
"Yes, I don't think I have to repeat it. The Kamans and the Pooles may all the troops from all over the country go south in the past two days. It is estimated that the target of Kitahara and Yan Yun will attack." Wufeng's face was filled with helpless smiles, "This is the information I only obtained. The specific time should be today or tomorrow!"
Sitting in the chair, Jilin's face was pale, and even his lips couldn't help but tremble. "What should I do? Yusufu just sent a notice that his city guard army was preparing to launch the battle to recover Qinghe Mansion. If the Kamans go south, wouldn't it happen? I wonder if Yusufu has received information in this regard?"
"Master Ji, whether it's time to come or not, I'll inform you now. In addition, I'm afraid I have to prepare for the Third and Fourth Legion. Once the City Guards lose and Qinghe Prefecture falls, the imperial capital will be in danger." A flash of light flashed in Wufeng's eyes. It seemed that Yusufu also received the chaotic information from Beiyuan. He felt that the time to recover Qinghe was ripe, so that this would happen. However, everyone's luck was not very good. When they met the Kamans and the Pooles, they wanted to share the pie.
"In addition, do you need to communicate with Your Highness Ninth?" Wufeng reminded him kindly when he saw that the other party was already confused.
"Yes, yes, let's go to the ninth prince's mansion immediately, and we need to inform him immediately." The lost military minister woke up as if he was dreaming.
It was already light that the sky was shining slightly after coming out of His Royal Highness's mansion. Looking at the early citizens, Wufeng, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but sigh. Once the enemies from the north surged south, the imperial capital would soon become a refugee city. Faced with the swords and guns of foreign races, how many people could insist on staying in the local area? I am afraid that people with a little asset would choose to go south to flee. This imperial capital became their first choice. Can this city bear such a huge burden?
Shaking his head, Wufeng packed up his compassionate feelings. Now is not the time to consider these issues. How to curb the Kamans and the Pooles' pace of going south is the top priority. His Royal Highness had argued on this issue at the mansion of His Royal Highness. Will His Royal Highness spend money to fight against the First and Second Legion to fight against the Kamans or the Pooles' army? The answer is no, unless he can be allowed to sit on the throne, but will these His Royal Highness willingly let him sit in this position? Wufeng shook his head in his heart, fearing that this question will never be solved.
While Wufeng received the news of the assembly of the Kaman army by Ambassador Gerok, Liang Chongxin and Ling Tianfang also received the same information from the Military Intelligence Bureau Gerok intelligence network. Ling Tianfang and Fielding, who had already arrived at Bonan and Liang Chongxin, had an emergency meeting at Yangmakou in Bonan Prefecture. The three agreed that the large-scale assembly of the Kaman army would definitely not be aimed at Morlington, but it was very likely to be aimed at Yulin and even Pinglu and Qinghe. Although it is not clear that the specific number of Kaman army gathered in Fanlin, the number of Kaman army discovered by intelligence personnel has exceeded four corpses, and it also includes the Kaman Royal Guards Regiment, which has been conducting military exercises in Kaman territory. It is obvious that the shocking power brought by such a large-scale army assembly is clear, and the intention is clear.
After an emergency consultation, the three decided to launch their troops before receiving Wufeng's clear instructions, and then make the final decision after Wufeng's order came down. Before that, everything will be carried out according to the combat deployment.
The Southern Line, led by the Guanxi War Zone Army, the 1st Northern Luzon Division, crossed Dayunling and occupied Huashuiyu. At the same time, the 30,000 Mot Light Cavalry in Xikang also set off for Tianshui. At the same time, the 3rd Tenggeri Cavalry Division stationed in Longdong, the 3rd and 4th Legion of the Northwest First Legion and the Unicorn Special Forces Brigade also began to go to Tianshui, detour from Tianshui to the valley leading to Huashuiyu. Once the 1st Northern Luzon Division occupied Huashuiyu, each unit quickly entered Pinglu through Huashuiyu to ensure that the Kamans' passage to the south was blocked.
On the northern line, the Lulong Security Division was ordered to dispatch to attract the attention of the Kuimenyu defenders. Since Anyuan was surrounded by mountains and ridges on the north and south sides, it was difficult for large troops to move, so they could only send small troops to infiltrate from the southern part of the Gerok into Anyuan, and cooperate with the Northwest Army, which had gained a foothold in Pinglu, to capture Anyuan.
