"When will the lord be planning to march into Baling? Do you really have to wait until the 11th Legion is mature before starting?" The capable man seemed more interested in Baling Mansion and asked.

"Baling is not as simple as Wen Ning. The Maqi Khan has been operating there for a long time. I also want to take Baling in one fell swoop. The father's last wish will come true, and he can rest in peace under the storm. However, with our current military strength, if we want to restore Baling, although I also know that my uncle has arranged a lot of people in Baling, from the current stage, the Maqi Khan's rule in Baling is very solid. Many people do not dare to act rashly even if they have a rebellious heart. It is too difficult to rely solely on our own strength.

Big." Situ Biao shook his head sadly. The battle on the battlefield for more than half a month made him fully feel the cruel surname of the war. Sometimes, in one day, thousands of strong men were left. The tragic scene made him who had never seen the real killing and saw the corpses and blood of soldiers under the feet of the so-called powerful soldiers. If ordinary civilians want to fight head-on with the real army, it is no different from dying. Situ Biao did not want his vitality to be exposed to the Maqikhan army in vain.

"But your Highness, have you ever thought that the longer the Baling Mansion falls in the hands of the Maqi Khan, the more difficult it will be for us to recover in the future. Now, the people we arranged have clearly felt that it is becoming more and more difficult to contact the power of jointly carrying out affairs to resist the Maqi Khan. Many people who have supported us are gradually weakening their fighting spirit. If we let time pass, these resistance forces will gradually be obscured in a comfortable and peaceful day. By then, if we really want to recover Baling, we are afraid that we will not find many forces willing to give up our lives to support us." The capable man said a little excited.

"Chengyong, I can understand your mood. My uncle sent you to me to help me. Naturally, he hoped that I could achieve great things. But now we only have so much power. If we were completely consumed in the battle to expel the Maqi Khan, we would probably only make wedding clothes for others." Situ Biao also knew that what the other party was talking about was the truth. A long-term peaceful life can destroy people's will, especially when he was used to living a comfortable life. If he wanted to give up everything and devote himself to the battle, it was a luxury, but he lacked the power in his hands and could not do it even though he knew he could not do it. This was too stupid.

A bitter silence fell into the tent, and the capable man called Chengyong suddenly looked up and said, "Your Highness, what if you come forward and ask foreign reinforcements to help us recover Baling?"

"Foreign reinforcements?" Situ Biao certainly would not have thought about this question, "Is it Lin Guoxiong or Li Wufeng? Lin Guoxiong cannot protect himself and has no extra strength at all; Li Wufeng has this strength, but let alone this guy is a snob, and he has to negotiate conditions for everything. Moreover, his credibility is too low, so he can't drive out the Maqikhan, but this skinny dog ​​is left in Baling and can't drive away."

"Your Highness, we might as well give false condemnation with him, but we need to sign a mutually restrictive treaty. You can ask His Majesty the Emperor to protect him and let the Northwest Army assist us in regaining Baling, but we cannot stay in Baling. We can pay him a considerable military expenditure. Li Wufeng was able to award the position of military and political governor of Guanxi, which is obviously on the same road as His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the King of Chu. I think if he could ask His Majesty to be a man of the middle class, he should not regret his promise." The capable man was very eager to recover Baling. His entire family's wealth and life are in Baling. The reason why he was so enthusiastic about working for Situ Biao was, on the one hand, certainly, for glory and wealth, and on the other hand, that he hoped to take Baling back from the Maqikhans as soon as possible.

Situ Biao was a little moved. What the other party said was not unreasonable. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that in this battle for the throne, Li Wufeng stood on the side of the alliance between His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the King of Chu, so he served as the military and political governor of Guanxi. His Majesty the Emperor would not be happy to see the power of Li Wufeng, the foreign vassal, further increase, and use his army to recover Baling and then order him to withdraw from Baling. But will this guy be so obedient by then?

As the winter and spring dry season entered the dry season, the water volume of many rivers decreased day by day, limiting the power of the naval forces on both sides. The war on both sides was even more intense. The Sixth Corps of the Empire and an independent division received strong support from the local militia rebels and continuously launched offensives from the east and south. Six divisions of 130,000 troops were divided into two attacking spearheads and attacked from both directions. Coupled with the harassment of the small militia rebels in the rear, the Maqi Khans had already felt that this war would become a protracted tug-of-war. Although Bi Xiao, the commander stationed in Wen Ning, was full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, this all-round attack and harassment still made him feel exhausted.

The endless attacks and attacks of the Tanghe people made Bi Xiao feel the crisis for the first time. Although the casualties of the Tanghe people were still higher than their own, the huge human resources and logistics support system of the Tanghe people made Bi Xiao shudder. This time, the Tanghe people's army performed more like a real army than the last time they occupied Wen Ning. Almost every battle was fought to the end of the battle. In this long-term positional battle, the only way to compete for endurance and will was to disappoint Bi Xiao was that the performance of the Tanghe army was too tenacious.

Although countless casualties were killed or injured, the Tanghe people's army could always be quickly replenished, while the soldiers of their own army had to be replenished from the local area. This extremely asymmetric consumption and replenishment made Bi Xiao realize that even if his army had the upper hand, it was actually defeated. If this continues, even the strongest army would be dragged by this war of attrition, especially the militia and rebels active in their rear were even more powerful during this period.

But Bi Xiao could not retreat, he could only persist. Wen Ning's acquisition was hard-won and did not dare to give up easily. Even though he was the son of Da Khan, his defense circle was narrowing step by step as the enemy was approaching step by step. Bi Xiao still went on battle to cheer the soldiers every day. Seeing Da Khan's legitimate son personally supervising the formation, every time Bi Xiao arrived, it would always arouse the crazy cheers of Maqihan soldiers.

Although Bi Xiao firmly believed that he could defend Wen Ning City, as the commander of Maqikhan's army in the entire Wuhu War Zone, Pu Tiancheng had to look at the current situation from a broader perspective. It seems that the newly enfeoffed Xiang King of Tanghe people wanted to maintain the integrity of his so-called territory and launched a fierce attack on Wen Ning regardless of his expenses. More than 100,000 troops have been entangled with three corpses on his side for more than half a month, but there is still no sign of rest. The militia and rebels are becoming more and more active, which really gives him a problem.

Although Baling Mansion still maintains peace on the surface, it is not really a paradise behind this peace. The intelligence department has noticed some strange phenomena. Although this is not enough to explain anything, the changes in Lujiang Mansion in the east cannot help but arouse Bu Tiancheng's high vigilance. The Northwest Army of Lujiang Mansion has increased from one division to two divisions, and the reconnaissance of the naval army numbers is also a few more than some time ago, and it is extremely active. From Lujiang to Bashan, the training situation of the Northwest Water Camp can be observed from time to time on the river section where the ship can be shipped, which makes Pu Tiancheng, who was originally determined to transfer a corps in Baling east, is undecided.

He sighed deeply, and Pu Tiancheng's eyes were patrolling the map. The news from the country was not optimistic. The national self-defense army in Yuejing was in a state of becoming more and more intense, and continued to create chaos in Yuejing. The troops stationed in Yuejing had increased from 20,000 to 40,000, but they still could not completely extinguish the ghost fire. Lin Guoxiong, the old man, actually had such a long strength, even Pu Tiancheng had to admire him.

The stalemate in North Ronesia dragged down the two corpses, and the Lin family had the same force on the opposite side. The two confronted each other. From the personal view of Putiancheng, this was a waste for the Machikhan and the Lin family. If North Ronesia belongs to either side intact, it is a piece of fat, but divided into two pieces, it becomes two doses of bitter medicine, dragging down a large amount of strength between the two sides. At this time, who is willing to retreat?

The Milanese are conducting military exercises on the eastern border again. They are such an annoying fly that cannot be killed or driven away. They just buzz around you, looking upset, but they have to look at it.

What should I do? Pu Tiancheng, who was wandering thousands of miles, finally set his sight on the map. Could it be that the army of Wen Ning Mansion was already quite tired. If there was no reinforcement, it was likely to be defeated. If we gave up, would it be better?

Give up again? This idea lingers in Pu Tiancheng's mind. Will Your Majesty and the Minister of State agree? Pu Tiancheng is not sure, but what can he do if he doesn't give up? Really put the corps in his hand? Not to mention whether it can play a role in determining the outcome. Even if the enemy is repelled in a moment, they will make a comeback soon. Unless they are given a fatal blow, they obviously cannot do it with the strength of their own hands.
