CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 6 HEGEMONY CHAPTER 69 THE HANDSHAKE OF THE GIANTS 2

Baling's short fall and loss and recovery also made Cheng Dayou feel the strength of the Western Xinjiang again, this power is not reflected in the military force itself, but more through the whole process of the war bit by bit performance, intelligence, internal affairs, security, logistics, diplomacy, in the end all this comes down to the node of the war, the Yuejing people were able to suddenly turn back at the critical moment, directly causing the Maqi Khan people who had taken the lead to flee in embarrassment, isn't this a copy of Qiu Zicheng's mutiny in Huanggang?
When you are still obsessed with using the strength of the army to prove yourself, the other party has leisurely trapped you through various means, and used all aspects of strength to turn your brute force into invisibility little by little, and finally give you a fatal blow, this is the strategy of Western Xinjiang, which is also the analysis conclusion reached by Cheng Dayou after careful analysis of what Western Xinjiang has done in the past two years.

When Cheng Dayou saw the giant templates unloaded from the transport ship slowly assembled into a vivid geographical and topographical map of Anqing, Wenning, and Ning, he realized that he had actually lagged behind Western Xinjiang in many aspects. When he was still worried about the surveying and mapping talents of large-scale maps, Xijiang had even popularized precision maps at the division and regiment level, and the command organs at the corps level were equipped with this kind of giant mobile sand table, and the funds required to build this kind of sand table that can display all the geographical terrain in detail should be an astronomical amount, from surveying and mapping to mapping, from mapping to completing the model, which one of them does not require a large number of professionals, and Xijiang can do this, it will take at least a few years to prepare.
Liang Chongxin was not surprised by Cheng Dayou's surprised expression, this kind of sand table combat demonstration is currently only implemented in the eastern continent and only in the western Xinjiang, the giant sand table can truly restore the geographical terrain, which is a little more intuitive than a precise map, and it is more conducive to the commander to accurately analyze the situation and deploy troops.
"Brother Chongxin, compared with your First Legion, our Eighth Legion is just like a child, not to mention that I saw the equipment of your First Legion soldiers just now, I only vaguely heard that those military powers in the Western Continent began to use this kind of giant sand table, but I didn't expect that our Western Frontier was also used in actual combat, this thing is good, it seems to be something made out of mud, but if you really want to do it, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort and funds to build it, if you want to really popularize it, it will really make His Royal Highness King Qin's heart ache." 。 "Fingers gently stroked on this sand table made of a special kind of clay, Cheng Dayou's eyes flashed with love and cherishment, but there was no concealment, this kind of high-end goods at first glance was specially tailored by the military department, and it may even be made for this campaign, and to achieve such a detailed level, the effort required is unimaginable for the layman.
"Hehe, Brother Dayou, first of all, I have to correct one of your mistakes, it is not the first legion of my Liang Chongxin, but the first legion of His Royal Highness King Qin, there is only one leader of the Western Frontier Army, that is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Chongxin is just the commander of one of the legions. As for the equipment of the soldiers, His Royal Highness King Qin and the Military Affairs Department have never hesitated to spend on the soldiers, in the eyes of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the life of every soldier is the most precious, especially those soldiers who have grown up after a bloody battle, and it is the most valuable wealth in the Western Xinjiang Army, the reason why the Western Xinjiang can be so strong is that this group of loyal and passionate soldiers with blood and experience, as for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I think probably not, well, maybe the Financial Secretary James will be heartbroken, but the cost in this regard, I think even if Director James suffers from angina, His Royal Highness the King of Qin will turn a blind eye。 ”
First reminded the other party of the wording used, then explained with a smile, and finally came to a joke to relax the atmosphere, Liang Chongxin mastered the atmosphere of the conversation very well, after all, the other party has just recently joined the Western Xinjiang camp, and he does not know much about the internal situation in Western Xinjiang, and it will take some time for the other party to adapt to the traditions of the Western Xinjiang army.
It seems that he did not hear the reminder of the hidden belt in Liang Chongxin's words, Cheng Dayou is still intoxicated by the perfect reproduction of this huge sand table, the topographical characteristics of Anqing and Wenning are clearly displayed on this sand table, every mountain, every lake, every trail, every pass, and the text on the newly added small flag also marks the latest stationing of the enemy army without omission, which is also the latest information after the staff officer corrected it according to the latest information provided by the intelligence department.
"Brother Chongxin, His Royal Highness the King of Qin wants you and me to discuss this follow-up battle strategy at our own discretion, now that Ba Ling is already in hand, the Eighth Army has also completed the preliminary reorganization with the two reading divisions of the former Southern Military Region, and the reorganization of Qiu Zicheng's department has also come to an end, I don't know what Brother Chongxin thinks about this battle?" After two full circles around the sand table, Cheng Dayou raised his head and asked thoughtfully: "Does Your Highness want our two legions to take Jiangnan in one fell swoop or stop at Wuhu, I don't know what Brother Chongxin thinks about this?" ”
Standing in front of the window with his arms crossed and looking at the rolling river in the distance, Liang Chongxin seemed to be not interested in the strategic situation displayed on the sand table in front of him, and he seemed to be a little sluggish to Cheng Dayou's question, as if he was deliberately playing tricks on the other side and was unwilling to answer casually, but Cheng Dayou knew that the other party must have been considering his words, the strength of the two legions did not sound strong, but Situ Biao's strength had been seriously weakened at the moment, entrenched in Anqing, Wenning, The situation of the three mansions of Jinhua is no different from the situation of Situ Yuan trapped in Quanzhou back then, the two legions of more than 200,000 elites, plus Tian Jinbao's Taihu Lake naval army, may not be a lie to capture Jiangnan.
"Brother Dayou, what is the current situation in Huzhou?" did not directly answer Cheng Dayou's question, but Liang Chongxin suddenly asked about the battle situation in Huzhou.
Slightly stunned, Cheng Dayou immediately replied: "Situ Tai seems to have given up the attempt to capture Huzhou, Tian Jinbao Kuang Tianbiao They fought quite beautifully in the interception battle along the Taihu Lake, Situ Tai's army seems to be a little unsuitable for this method of warfare, and the progress is slow, after learning of the Yueyang surprise attack and the Huanggang mutiny, he asked for a full withdrawal of the army, and directly withdrew from the Huzhou boundary, but retained a small part of the troops in the area of Huanglongdong at the northern end of Huzhou to maintain a monitoring posture, and the rest of the troops all shrank back to Pengcheng. ”
"Well, it seems that Situ Tai doesn't want to entangle with us in the south, he probably also found that his two legions don't seem to be very suitable for fighting in the climate and geography of the south, I heard that he is now actively preparing for the southeast legion in Donghai County, trying to replace the first and second legions with a localized army to guard Jiangnan and Donghai, the idea is good. Liang Chongxin said thoughtfully, "The more he doesn't want us to provoke a war in the south, it seems that we should find some trouble in the south to make him uncomfortable, if they can hold Situ Tai's hands and feet in the south, maybe Wenxiu and their pressure on the north side will be much less." ”
"Brother Chongxin, what do you say is the idea of this Situ Tai, isn't he and the Duotun people already joined forces in the north? Then they should have a considerable advantage there, why are they reluctant to launch an offensive? Doesn't he know that once His Royal Highness the King of Qin takes Jiangnan, he will hardly have any chance?" This question has been bothering Cheng Dayou for a long time, and he was puzzled by it when he had not yet joined the Western Frontier, although he also made a variety of speculations and assumptions, but he was never able to convince himself.
"Well, I'm afraid that this question will bother many people, but I'm afraid that even His Royal Highness King Qin may not be able to have a definite and accurate answer, maybe only Situ Tai himself can say it clearly. I have also analyzed this problem with myself, especially after the two corps of the Duodun people entered the Yanyun area, at that time, the strength of Situ Tai's side was in absolute superiority, but he did not take advantage of the situation to launch an offensive, this was only Situ Tai's only chance, but he let it go. "Liang Chongxin, like Cheng Dayou, was also troubled by this problem, but with the passage of time, things have changed, and now the joint forces of the Fifth Army and the Third Army plus the Terok army have also been transferred to the front line to strengthen the defense, at this time, even if Situ Tai wants to launch an offensive, it is difficult to take much advantage.
"I guess there are several reasons, the first is his grain and grass supply problem, although Yan Yun has obtained a considerable supplement from the Japanese people, but because the drought in the north is too serious, and Yan Yun is the foundation of Situ Tai, he can't and dare not let Yan Yun's situation deteriorate too much, so he has to take out a considerable amount of food to calm the pressure of the people, and this also makes his army supply have a certain impact, but this should not be the main reason, second, probably because he encountered difficulties in raising military funds in Yanjing, which affected the operation of his army, but my personal opinion is not enough to affect the overall situation, and the third is also what I speculated after thinking about it for a long time, may not be accurate, that is, according to the analysis of Situ Tai's surname, he preserved his military strength too much, and always hoped to achieve the purpose of consuming the enemy's strength through the strength of others, and the western Xinjiang did encounter a more difficult situation at the beginning, although it broke the attack of the Kaman and Poole people, but we also suffered considerable losses, and the posture of the Luope and Luzon people is even more like defeating us in one fell swoop, in this case, maybe Situ Tai hopes that the Luzon and Luope people can join forces to let the western Xinjiang pay attention to the west, and then take the opportunity to invade the west, but his wish was disappointed because of the deviation of the Luzon's strategic goals and the rapid defeat of the LuopeThis is probably the main reason why he ended up in a predicament. ”
