Not only Chang Xun, but Chen Xin and several other generals were a little skeptical of Yuan Fang's words, they had never seen the airship, they had only heard of it, and they had never seen the terrifying power of the airship bombing with their own eyes.

Yuan Fang didn't know the bottom of his heart, but at this time, he couldn't be cautious, so he could only give it a go: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the base to see the effect with your own eyes, I believe you won't doubt what I said after reading it." ”

Yang Xing took a deep breath and said heroically: "Okay, let's fight against the water and fight with them." ”

Yuqing asked worriedly: "Give up Beizhou, what about the people of Beizhou?" ”

Yuan Fang said fiercely: "The people have moved, the walls are clear, and nothing should be left for them." ”

Yuqing asked, "Is it too late?" ”

Yang Xing looked at Chen Xin and the others: "General Wu, General Li, General Hua, General Chen, the four of you will lead your army to Changping County in Beizhou immediately to garrison, with General Chen Xin as the leader, delay the enemy army at all costs and gain enough time." The generals answered the command.

Yang Xing continued: "General Chang, General Feng, General Ximen, General Lu, the four of you go to Huiyuan County and Honggu County in Dongping County to garrison, and fight to the last soldier to keep the enemy out of Dongping County." The generals commanded in unison.

Yuan Fang asked at this time: "If they give up Beizhou, will they cross Beizhou and make a detour to attack Xizhou?" Yuan Fang's worries were a little redundant, and when he heard such a layman's question, everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Yuqing explained: "No, Beizhou has a vast territory, and it is impossible for the Yuanhe Empire to cross Beizhou without a 500,000 troops stationed along the way, and 500,000 horses are just for a Beizhou." ”

Yuqing shook her head, no one will be so stupid, and 500,000 horses can be put into the frontal battlefield, step by step, it will be more cost-effective and safer.

Yuan Fang didn't understand these things, and asked suspiciously, "Why?" We don't have many troops in Beizhou. ”

Yuqing helplessly explained: "This is different from the regular garrison, they are invasion, we have deployed heavy troops in Beiping County, and we can send troops to the north at any time to cut off the enemy army, and then divide and encroach, you can understand what I say, right?" What would you do if it were you? Yuan Fang nodded suddenly, no longer confused.

Everyone was ordered to leave, Yuan Fang discussed the matter of the Air Force with Yang Xing and Yuqing, and then said goodbye and left, returning to the military hospital to prepare for the New Year.

It's not that Yuan Fang's heart is big and he doesn't know the urgency, but there is really nothing to do, the airship is still in production, it will take almost a month, and the soldiers are not in place yet, I heard Yuqing say that it will take about ten days for the selected female soldier unit to arrive at the base, that is to say, even if Yuan Fang wants to do something within ten days, he can't start, rather than being anxious, it is better to spend the New Year in peace and stability.

Of course, it is not that he has done nothing, he has mobilized a lot of fire oil and potters from military factories and chambers of commerce to send to the base, where these fire oil will be sealed and stored for later use, and other supplies have also begun to be transported to the base in a steady stream, where it will become a strategic reserve base, as well as a training ground and temporary station for space.

On the way back, Guan Xiaoyun wondered, "Dean, have you found it?" ”

Yuan Fang was puzzled by these brainless words: "What did you find?" ”

Guan Xiaoyun said thoughtfully: "Dean, you didn't find out? Every time Your Majesty has an important decision, he will call you over to make up your mind. ”

Yuan Fang slanted Guan Xiaoyun, who pretended to be wise: "What do you mean?" ”

Guan Xiaoyun explained: "Let's talk about today's matter, it is obvious that Your Majesty has been discussing this matter for several days, but why has there been no decision?" On the contrary, after you came, in just a few words, Your Majesty made a decision? ”

Yuan Fang thought about it, it seemed to be the case, and not only today, but also many things in the past: "What do you want to say?" ”

Guan Xiaoyun smiled: "I think Your Majesty is planning to let you concentrate on joining the army, forget it, don't talk about it, I'm not sure." ”

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes: "What a mess." ”

Guan Xiaoyun didn't continue the topic, as if he remembered something, and reminded: "Dean, I heard Bingyan say that there is a guy who seems to be a spy of the Japanese people, did you forget to tell Your Majesty about this matter just now?" Then, there was an explanation: "Bing Yan is afraid that you will forget, so before you go out, tell me to let me remind you." ”

Yuan Fang slapped his thigh: "Damn, I really forgot, why didn't you remind me just now?" ”

Guan Xiaoyun smiled dryly and said, "I also forgot about it, I just remembered it." ”

Yuan Fang's head was full of black lines: "You, the secretary, are too out of tune, right, can't you be reliable?" ”

Guan Xiaoyun smiled, as a secretary, this matter was indeed his dereliction of duty: "Anyway, I haven't left the palace yet, why don't we go back and talk to Your Majesty?" ”

Yuqing chased after him at this time: "You want to go back?" Anything else? ”

Yuan Fang's eyes lit up: "You came just in time, I have something to tell you, you have time to talk to Yang Xing." ”

Yuqing leaned over and asked, "What's the matter?" Yuan Fang lowered his voice and explained in detail that Zhong Mingde was likely to be a Japanese spy.

Yuqing was surprised and said, "There is still such a thing? ”

Yuan Fang said disapprerovingly: "It's not a big deal, I've already asked the people in the dark night to secretly monitor, I'll think about it again in the next few days, and see if I can give the plan to the Japanese people, so that they don't have to come back." ”

Yuqing didn't think so, and said after a while: "No, this matter is not as simple as you think, there has been no movement on the Japanese side recently, which is a bit abnormal." ”

Yuan Fang was surprised and asked, "It's not good if there is no movement?" ”

Yuqing glanced at Yuan Fang and said: "I suspect that they are likely to make a big move, so they have only stopped so recently, no, I will go to Your Majesty to discuss it now, it is best to send some more troops to Nanzhou." ”

Speaking of this, Yuqing's face became very ugly, just now, Yang Xing had already transferred most of the men and horses in Beizhou and Xizhou to deal with the army of the Yuanhe Empire, and now, the empire has almost no troops available except for Zhongzhou, where the imperial capital is located, although the Nanzhou state army has not been requisitioned, but its own defense force is very limited, barely maintaining basic defense.

If, when the Yuanhe Empire attacked Dongping County and Beizhou on a large scale, their own armies were all contained in the area of Dongping County, if the Japanese invaded Nanzhou at this time, it would not take too much, as long as there were 100,000 troops, it would be enough to capture the entire Nanzhou, if the other party planned to be bigger, and even could take advantage of the lack of imperial forces to march north, at that time, the empire was attacked from both sides, once Nanping County was lost, the Japanese soldiers would be directed at the imperial capital.
