Section 7 Surrender
readx;? A dull atmosphere enveloped the hearts of the two, and for a while both of them fell into a long contemplation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
What should I do? Wu Feng is also repeatedly calculating the gains and losses, the Taiping rebellion within the empire is imminent, according to his own judgment, it should explode in a month or two, the Kansai region, as the hardest hit area, is also the main road that is stuck in his eastward advance, it must be an area controlled by the Taiping Sect, if he does not take advantage of their unstable foothold to attack first, once they stand firm, I am afraid that it will be much more difficult for them to enter the east. But if you want to ensure the stability of Taixuanfu City, you must retain at least three elite divisions, and if you count the garrison division of Taixuanfu City, you must also leave two divisions to be stationed, and you must reserve at least one division to be stationed near Taixuanfu to respond at any time, otherwise once the Kaman army presses the border, it will inevitably cause a situation of surprise.
Occupying the strength of three divisions, most of the regular 6th Army that he has in the Northwest County has been used, and even if he counts the independent First Cavalry Division, whose combat effectiveness has not yet been fully formed, there are only two divisions left, and if they want to participate in the competition for Kansai, I am afraid it is a little too reluctant.
If you give up Taixuanfu, you can free up at least two divisions, and it is enough to equip one more division in Guide Mansion, so with four divisions and nearly 100,000 troops, plus the Bonan Garrison Division, which has already made advance preparations, you will be quite sure that you will be able to control most of Guanxi County, and you can also peek into the Heshuo area. But this negative impact is indeed too great, what Ling Tianfang just said is just a kind of practice of covering his ears and stealing the bell, maybe he can hide it for a while, and after a little longer, it will definitely be exposed, after all, it is impossible for such a big thing to be covered tightly.
And at this moment, Ling Tianfang was also trying to weigh the pros and cons of the pros and cons, although he advocated giving up the Taixuan Mansion, but he also considered that his master might not agree to such a means that would damage his glorious image, to know how difficult it was to establish a glorious image in the hearts of the people in this current situation, but it was very easy to destroy, and he was also considering whether his idea was suitable or not. What's more, Taixuan Mansion has a vast territory and an important location, if it can be controlled, it is really a good place with great potential, at least it can contain the pace of the Kamans from moving south from Gelok after occupying the western part of Gelok.
This war was originally dialectical, although the Kamans contained a large number of troops on their side, but they also restrained the main force of the Kamans when they let go, but this Taiping Sect seems to have been entangled with the Kamans.
The heads of the two were raised again almost at the same time, their eyes collided, and they both seemed to understand the meaning of the other party, and smiled happily, Wu Feng nodded, "Tianfang, it seems that you have a new idea, why don't you talk about it first." β
"My lord, I'm afraid we all think the same way. Ling Tianfang shook his head, a rare smile on his face.
"Well, my opinion is still to stick to Taixuan Mansion, if the Kamans really want to come to capture it, we can't ask for it, and we will accompany them to the end, if they just keep the pressure on standby, we will do the same, but I think we will make a slight adjustment in the composition of the garrison troops. Wu Feng briefly said his opinion.
"How are you going to adjust?" Ling Tianfang didn't say much, and asked directly.
"I want the 4th Division to be stationed in Taixuanfu, and the 2nd Division to be stationed as well, and the 1st Independent Cavalry Division to be stationed in the border between Taixuanfu and Guide for mobile response, and by the way, I can also monitor the battle situation in Lulongfu and the Principality of Jieluo in the east to prevent accidents. As for the current Second Garrison Division of Taixuan Mansion, my opinion is that we should first conduct an inventory to prevent a situation similar to that of their Third Garrison Division, and if necessary, we can make appropriate adjustments, but it is best not to affect its combat effectiveness, Fielding, now he may be a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself, just waiting for the Imperial Gendarmerie or the General Supervision Office to come, I think you are in charge of the military and political management of the entire Taixuan region for the time being. Wu Feng slowly said his intentions.
"Well, the Fourth Division can take on the main force of defense, Kamapov is a good candidate, although Cui Xiu is no longer in the Second Division, but Sha Lang is also a talent, and he should be competent enough, but this Taixuan Second Division is not adjusted, I'm afraid I have to take a look, Fielding is a rare talent, I think it would be best if you have the opportunity to keep him, this guy can run Taixuan Mansion like an iron bucket, it's not simple, the fall of Jiayuguan is not his fault, I already understand, although the renegade Sige has some ability, but it is mainly the promotion of His Royal Highness, Fielding He can't stop his master from promoting a person, but I didn't expect this guy to be an internal response, and the work of the Kaman people is not deep. β
Ling Tianfang didn't have much objection to Wu Feng's arrangement, it was imperative to let himself sit in charge of Taixuan, since he had decided to control Taixuan Mansion in his own hands, and there was no one of enough people to control the overall situation, Wu Feng would not dare to leave easily.
"Also, my lord, the First Division of the Independent Cavalry has been established for too short a time, will it be a bit hasty to let them join the battle?" Ling Tianfang hesitated and asked.
"Hmph, I haven't experienced the battle formation, where can I really grow up? Now it's just a matter of preparation, and if I have the chance, I'll let them go to Gerlok or Lulong Mansion to really exercise." Wu Feng raised his eyebrows, "No matter how well-equipped the troops are, they are also used to fight, and if they don't fight, no matter how well equipped they are, they are just decorations!"
The welcoming crowd in the middle of the road, the cheering children, the women dressed in full costume to greet them, and the flowers that could not be seen in sight, all of these moved Wu Feng and Ling Tianfang and several other generals, and the simple people actually had very low requirements, as long as they could bring them a stable living environment, they would be satisfied if they could live and work peacefully. But in this troubled world, often these seemingly very simple requirements have become unattainable extravagant hopes, for their own interests, countries and forces are fighting endlessly, where can you control the thoughts of your people.
Seeing all this in front of him, Wu Feng felt a deep sense of helplessness, maybe his original intention was not to fight, but the cruel reality forced you not to show or fight, but the final outcome can only be that you are devoured, Wu Feng does not want to be the one who is devoured, so he can only keep devouring the other party until the end.
Taixuanfu is located in the northeast corner of Northwest County, bordering the Duchy of Jieluo and Lulongfu of Beiyuan County in the east, Yinchuan Province in the west, the Zagros Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains in the north and the two empires of Siathrow and Kaman, and the south of Guidefu. With a population of about 1.2 million, the province is second only to Yinchuan and Qingyang in the entire northwest county, and is rich in grain and sugar beet, and is an important sugar producer in the northern part of the empire, and the hilly areas near the Zagros Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains are rich in high-quality timber.
Looking at the thick and towering city walls and fairly complete fortifications, Wu Feng couldn't help but nod, it seems that this Fielding still put some effort into the defense of the city, although it is not as good as Qingyang Mansion, but it is much stronger than other provinces, and the army in front of him is probably the remaining Taixuanfu Second Garrison Division, it seems that it should still have considerable combat effectiveness, and that prime-aged man is naturally the Taixuanfu City Guard Fielding.
"Fielding, the minister of guilt, has seen the envoy of the festival!" The middle-aged man's face was a little pale, and his eyes were a little blue, which was obviously a sign of poor sleep.
"Why did Lord Fielding say this?" Wu Feng and Ling Tianfang, who had just sat down in the City Guard Mansion, were all the same.
"My lord, the order jointly signed by the Imperial Administration and the Military Administration has come down, and the humble post has just been received, and all the humble posts have been relieved, and everything will be handed over just waiting for the arrival of the city guard appointed by the General Administration and the Military Police Headquarters, and I heard that the city guard appointed by the General Administration is already on the way. β
Fielding's expression was quite calm, he had expected this day a long time ago, and his original master also asked people to bring a message, telling him not to talk nonsense, he would do everything to help himself, but Fielding had long since lost any hope, he knew his master's heart very well, and now he had lost any use value, and it was not worth his attention at all.
"Oh?!" Wu Feng's expression moved slightly, he didn't expect the empire's reaction to be so fast, and he had already bypassed the order to hold him accountable and went directly to the Taixuan Mansion, obviously not taking himself seriously, the military and political envoy of the Northwest County who had not really taken over the real power of the Taixuan Mansion. Probably trying to control the administrative power here before himself, but he had to fight for them to resist the army of the Kamans, which is quite fine.
"Lord Fielding, I think you misunderstood, whether it is the General Administration of Administration, the General Military Affairs Administration, or the people from the General Supervision Office and the Military Police Headquarters, they have the right to investigate you directly, but they do not have the right to remove you from the post of city guard of Taixuan Mansion, maybe they had this power five years ago, but now that the Northwest County has been approved by His Majesty the Emperor's palace to set up the Military and Political Envoy Mansion, then the appointment and dismissal power of the city guards of the entire Northwest County should be exercised by himself as the military and political envoy of the Northwest County, and no other person or department has this powerγ I think that before I, Li Wufeng, did not dismiss you from your position, you were still the city guard of the Taixuan Mansion in the Northwest County, and you should still perform your duties well. Wu Feng said slowly with half-squinted eyes, but his tone was unquestionable.
"This," Fielding was surprised.
"You can cooperate with the investigation of the Imperial Central, but the premise is that it does not affect the work you are currently undertaking, everything is subject to the current situation first, and doing your own work well is the first thing in the list, as for their so-called newly appointed city guard, I think it is better to go back and forth from where. Wu Feng's sonorous and powerful words directly put Fielding on the spot, and even the generals next to him realized at this time that Wu Feng still wanted Fielding to continue to serve as the city guard of Taixuan Mansion.
Fielding was silent for a long time, his gaze staring at Wu Feng's face flashed with a complicated light, and he didn't say a word for a long time, and there was silence in the council room.
The subordinate understood, and the subordinate went to work. Eventually, Fielding, who had changed his title, had a flush on his somewhat pale face, bowed deeply and turned away.
