Section 28 Drawing the sword

Hu Yanqiu's words made Cui Wenxiu fall into deep thought, and the unpredictable expression on his face made it impossible to guess what he was thinking about, but Hu Yanqiu seemed much calmer after saying this, and took a big sip of the black tea he was sent in a hurry, waiting for the other party to make a decision leisurely.

"Brother Huyan, you don't seem to approve of our westward march to Inde'an this time?" Cui Wenxiu frowned slightly and asked indifferently.
"No, Brother Cui is afraid that he has misunderstood, Hu Yanqiu is definitely not against the march into India, as Brother Cui pointed out in his letter to his younger brother, Yindean has always been the focus of Lord Li's business in the West, once the war in the East is over, Lord Li's troops will soon point to the West, this is only a matter of a few years, if it goes well, I estimate that there will be a result in the East War in three years. Now that the situation in India is developing beyond our control, it is necessary for us to keep it within our control and acceptability. The destruction of the Hyderabad people and their allies is not in our northwest interest, and it is certainly unacceptable to Lord Lee, so we must intervene. Hu Yanqiu shook his head and categorically denied the other party's suspicions.
"However, we need to see the military strength of the Tiks and the changes that have taken place in Indean. The 400,000 troops of the Tik people were divided into two northern expeditions, all the way to attack the city and plunder the land, without encountering setbacks, the momentum is flourishing, the Indean army has a characteristic, that is, it is good at fighting the wind battle, if they gain momentum, they will be like a rainbow, unstoppable, if they are defeated, the combat effectiveness and fighting spirit will decline rapidly, but now they are in the momentum, we can not underestimate the other party. There is another important factor that I believe you have also seen, that is, there have been successive slave and pauper uprisings in the areas controlled by the Hyderabad and their allies, and there is a tendency to become more and more violent, it is said that there are dozens of rebel armies, and there are already several forces entangled, and they have repeatedly defeated the Wang [***] team who went to suppress it. β
"So my idea is that Brother Cui can first report the situation of Indean and the actual strength of our Central Continental Theater to Lord Li, and seek the support of Lord Li, I personally think that the strength in our hands alone may be able to thwart the Northern Expedition plan of the Tiks, but it is very likely that we will be stuck in the quagmire of the Indean battlefield, so that our troops can confront the Tiks, and the foundation of the rule of the Hyderabad people has been shaken, if we want to maintain their rule, we are bound to station a considerable number of troops in Indean, and the current deployment of troops in our Central Continental Theater is only afraid that it will be difficult to do thisγ β
"If we can report to Lord Li and the secretariat of the Joint Staff Conference in Qingyang, we can avoid the suspicion of abuse of power, and then we can also ask Lord Li and the Joint Staff Conference to give us some military assistance, so that we have sufficient troops, and we can deal with the Tiks with ease. Hu Yanqiu's words are only over at this point, and it can be regarded as a heart-to-heart.
Cui Wenxiu sighed with some emotion, worthy of being the commander of the Western Regions United Army selected by Li Da, not only is the situation prediction and analysis between the enemy and us very accurate, but the most rare thing is the intention to plan for himself, euphemistically expressed, although he is the commander-in-chief of the Central Continent Theater, but Master Li did not authorize himself to use troops outside the theater of operations without authorization, and it is a force of this scale, although Lord Li may not have any ideas, but will others think that he is suspected of dictatorship? Especially with the Judge Advocate General!
Thinking of this, Cui Wenxiu was even more moved by Hu Yanqiu's kindness, although he had already made arrangements in advance, he was still very pleased with the kindness of the other party. At the same time, he also has a deeper understanding of the comprehensiveness of this person's ability, a foreign race, can occupy a position in the Joint Staff Conference with a small commander of the Western Regions Combined Army, it is really extraordinary, no wonder Liang Chongxin also admires him, I heard that even Lord Li has met him alone a few times, which shows his status in Lord Li's mind, and this person must also be Lord Li's absolute confidant in the Western Regions.
At this time, Cui Wenxiu showed a satisfied smile on his face, stood up and laughed loudly: "Brother Huyan really has the same heart as me, it is well said, if you don't play, you won't play, if you want to play, let's play with the Tik people once, since the Tik people are so interested, when will our Northwest Army be afraid of people coming? How can we not accompany them to come to the game happily, and it will not be in vain our reputation in the Central Continent." β
"What does Brother Cui mean;;;;;;?" Hu Yanqiu was surprised and delighted.
"Hehe, don't hide it from Brother Yan, when my brother set off from Boyueji, he had already let the snow pigeon fly to Lord Li, and reported the situation here to Lord Li in detail, and asked Lord Li to send reinforcements to reinforce us as soon as possible. In view of such an urgent action, I estimated that it would be difficult for the Joint Staff Council to make a decision for the time being, so I only sent a report to the Joint Staff Council, and as long as Master Li made a decision, the matter would be settled. I have been monitored by the intelligence department at any time, and as soon as there is an urgent report from the east, it will be reported immediately, and it is estimated that Lord Li's reply will arrive in the next two days. Cui Wenxiu smiled and continued, "I believe that Master Li will agree with our idea." β
Hu Yanqiu, who couldn't suppress his excitement, stood up and rubbed his hands, and then said with some embarrassment: "It seems that Brother Cui has thought of this a long time ago, but I am too worried." β
Holding each other's hands sincerely, Cui Wenxiu shook his head and said, "Brother Huyan is deeply pleased with Cui's heart, and if you say this, you don't treat Cui as a brother." Let's go, go to the combat staff room, I think Jiang Han and Shenei are just afraid that they will be impatient to wait for a long time. β
When Cui Wenxiu and Hu Yanqiu walked into the combat staff room, the staff room was busy, maps of various proportions had been hung all over the surrounding walls, and a huge sand table in the center of the war room had also been placed, probably due to time reasons, the shape on the sand table was a little rough, all kinds of miniature buildings and mountains and rivers were placed on it without leakage, a beautiful staff officer was preparing all kinds of documents in an orderly manner, and the other two were inserting all kinds of small flags marked with the numbers of different units according to the map, slowly showing the situation of all parties in front of everyoneγ
After a period of greetings, Hu Yanqiu and Jiang Hanshenei followed closely behind Cui Wenxiu to the panorama map of the Indean Kingdom at the top of the room, the large-scale map occupies the entire wall, the different shades of color indicate the different levels of the terrain, and several dotted lines divide the entire territory of the Indean Kingdom, indicating that the kingdom belongs to various departments.
The beautiful face of the female secretary looks like an arc curve from the side, a towering nose column, and a slender jade finger pinching a baton to point on the map, and the voice with a slightly magnetic surname sounds so pleasant: "This is a schematic map of the entire territory of the Indian Kingdom, the entire north originally belonged to the largest tribe of the Indean Kingdom, the Hyderabad and their allies, the Solian and the Mish, and the west is the Yakuan, please look at this piece belongs to the territory of the Yakuans, this is the Pura Plateau, which has always been' Huoyao Seed Land', this time the incident was also triggered here. This large area to the south was the Tik territory, while the small area to the east was the Punjab territory. These are the Gauti tribe, the Yelo tribe, and the Lanyin tribe, which are less powerful and similar to the Punjas, and are attached to the Yakuan and Tik respectively, and some small tribes are in the border area, which can be ignored for the time being. β
"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, the two arrows represent the two northern expeditionary armies of Tik, the east and west armies each with more than 200,000 men, the east road starting from the Pula Plateau, and the west road crossing the river from the Toledo ferry in the middle of the Senge Plain. According to the latest battle reports we have obtained, the Tik army on the western front has captured Banhatti, the capital of Saichin Province, and the entire province of Saichin, and is now steadily advancing, while the army on the eastern front of Tik is even faster, and they have captured the important fortress of Keshhar Province a few days ago. The fortress of Jami, which is the choke point to the most important province in the northeast, the province of Benga, and then they occupied the whole of the province of Kashhar, including the capital Burundi, according to the latest information, they had launched an attack on the province of Tangi three days earlier, and the people of Hyderabad were no longer able to resist, and it is estimated that the fall will be within two or three days. β
The personable female secretary introduced the situation of the Indean war without any emotion, and her crisp and pleasant voice drew everyone's attention to the map in the room.
"According to the information we have, the Hyderabad people have suffered successive defeats on the Western Front, their elite unit of the Kingdom 1st Guards has been routed north of the Pula Plateau, with a total loss of more than 120,000 men, and then suffered another heavy defeat in the south of the province of Saichin, with a total of 150,000 men of the Kingdom's 2nd Guards and the Tholian Miss, and only about 30,000 escaped, and in these two battles, the Great Army of the Tikxi Front lost less than 50,000 men. The army of the eastern front of the Tik did not meet much resistance, but only wiped out more than 30,000 local troops in Hyderabad when they captured the fortress of Chami, and the large army deployed by the Hyderabad people in the east was mainly concentrated in the defense line of Benga Province to prevent the Tik from attacking Benga Province, and the number was about 100,000. This is the current situation on the battlefield. β
After the introduction, the female secretary immediately stood behind the four people, leaving only the four people in a daze to stare at the map in front of them.
