Section 40 Making amends

However, Fielding immediately sensed the deviation of his thoughts, Taixuanfu is certainly the most vulnerable area to the attack of the Kamans, but the city walls of the Taixuanfu Mansion are strong, and the perfection of the defense system is second only to the capital Qingyang among the eight northwestern provinces, and it is unlikely that the Kamans will attack the city of Qingyangfu, so what is the significance of the Kamans attacking Taixuan? Show off their strength or retaliate against the attack on them by the Southern Terokk Front? Miley cannot be such a simple-minded person, and the Kamans must have deeper ideas. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
What was the purpose of the Kamans in mobilizing a large number of troops? Fielding walked in the garden behind the governor's palace and pondered bitterly, the warmth of the autumn sun dissolved on Fielding's somewhat fat body, although he had been working hard for government affairs since he took office, his body did not appear to have lost at all, but there was a tendency to become fat, which made Fielding very puzzled.
This garden is the back garden where the original Jiedu Embassy of His Royal Highness King Qin is located, originally Li Wufeng still planned to use this mansion as the seat of governance of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, but was opposed by all political axe officials, including Xiao Tang, although the area of the original Northwest Military and Political Jiedu Embassy is not small, but as the highest authority of the entire seven counties of Western Xinjiang, this Jiedu Embassy does seem a little stingy, so even Xiao Tang, the political director who has always been thrifty, also opposes this suggestion. In the end, the Metropolitan Protectorate of Western Xinjiang chose to build a new construction in a shantytown area covering an area of 30 acres, which immediately caused the price of houses and land in that civilian area to skyrocket, and also triggered the pursuit of building houses in that area by building developers, wealthy gentry and businessmen, and also benefited the local poor a lot.
* Fragrance, golden armor all over the ground, the intoxicating beauty could not attract the attention of the governor of the northwest at this time, a little stunned looking at the clouds in the distance, Fielding pondered the current intentions of the Kamans, Bo Jinchen launched a series of offensives in the northern region did have a great effect, the Kamans were not only forced to abandon the two places of Longquan in Montenegro, shrink the defense, that is, in Yulin, Qinghe and Pinglu are also struggling, and now the Kaman country will definitely affect the supply of the garrison because of the famine, otherwise the Kaman Southern Expeditionary Army will not send grain to the North Gerok, which also shows that there is a problem with the garrison's food, and the grain exported to the North Gerok is burned in one fell swoop, which will definitely affect the morale and morale of the North Gerok garrison, and it is even very likely that the North Gerok garrison is already facing a food shortage, so the purpose of the North Gerok army is now very suspicious.
But there is no target worthy of the Kamans in Taixuanfu, which should be clear to the Kamans through their intelligence department, will the Kamans take the risk of taking a bigger step? This seems to be a little inconsistent with the military habits of the commander of the Kaman garrison in North Gerok, but Zhuge Liang is cautious in his life and dares to play an empty city plan, so it is difficult for Miley to say that he will not take a risk to break through the mindset. Yinchuan has an important grain storage depot, but if the Kamans target grain, even if they seize the grain, how can they transport them back? But no matter how the enemy transports the grain, the existence of this danger may have made Fielding's heart chill, once things really develop in the direction they expected, then the northwest is in danger!
Originally, these defense issues should not have been asked by himself, the governor specializing in civil affairs, but the long-term career of infiltration in the army made Fielding subconsciously think about this problem, if the Kaman people really invaded the northwest on a large scale, the destructive power and bad impact brought by it were only afraid that it would exceed the original invasion of the Luope people, especially in the current thriving situation of the Guotai and Min'an faction, which would have a great negative impact on the entire Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate and His Royal Highness the King of Qin itself, even more than the gains and losses of food, and then think about the weakness of the garrisons in the several prefectures under his jurisdiction, Fielding couldn't help but have a thin bead of sweat on his forehead。
This possible surname is too big, and he must immediately inform Bo Jinchen of this possible surname in the far north of Jieluo, and now in the entire Northwest County, except for Qingyang Mansion, which has a fourth division of the Fifth Army Corps that has just been formed by reservists and is still in the training stage, Yinchuan Mansion only has two wings, and Taixuan Mansion has only one multi-division, and the huge Northwest County has only three divisions and regiments, and the troops in the neighboring areas are also eight hundred miles away recently, and if you want to mobilize these forces, it is not something that you, the governor of the northwest, can command, without delay!
But Fielding, who had just taken two steps, stopped all of a sudden, and he was a little hesitant whether to report this situation to Bo Jinchen? Bo Jinchen was not familiar with himself, he was just a general acquaintance, and his own speculation was not his own opinion, which was not necessarily the truth, and he was only the governor in charge of government affairs, and the Protectorate of Western Xinjiang had already set the rules, the army did not interfere in politics, and the government did not ask the army, each went his own way, except for His Royal Highness the King of Qin himself, no one could take care of the military and politics at the same time, even if it was Xiao Tang, Su Qin and Ling Tianfang are the same, they are quite suspicious of overstepping their bounds.
After hesitating again and again, Fielding decided that it was still necessary to inform Bo Jinchen of his opinion, and it was not up to him what the other party should do, but his responsibilities as the governor of the northwest must be fulfilled, even if there was some gossip, it would not be so much. And here you also need to sit down and prepare, the Caizhai War Reserve Grain Depot in the northern suburbs of Qingyang City is the second only to the Hanzhong Reserve Depot in the entire Western Xinjiang region, hoarding tens of millions of quintals of grain, and now it is transferring two million quintals of grain to the Yinchuan Grain Depot to sell to Sislo, in addition to these two million quintals of grain in transit, there are still up to eight million quintals of grain stored there, and the Yinchuan Grain Reserve Depot also has one million quintals of grain is being transported to Siathrow one after another, if the Kaman people really attack, the loss is small, and the Kaman people have relieved their own logistical pressure, which is even more serious。
In fact, before receiving Fielding's urgent report, Bo Jinchen had already realized the seriousness of the problem. The Kamans seem to have given up fighting with their own side in Yulin, Qinghe and other places, and turned to defeat the posture of key prevention, and withdrew 50,000 troops from Montenegro and Longquan in one go, completely abandoned Montenegro and Longquan, and revisited the focus on Qinghe and Yulin. And the large-scale movement of the cavalry to the North Gerok made Bo Jinchen even more suspicious, and the excuse of Mai Li to collect transport vehicles in the North Gerok also seems a bit far-fetched, although the transport vehicles of Yulin and Qinghe were indeed destroyed by the Western Xinjiang Army, but if you want to be recruited with a hard surname, you can also levy enough needs, why travel thousands of miles to recruit from North Gerok? Moreover, the intelligence officers in North Gerok reacted that the requisitioned vehicles were being carefully repaired and maintained, and it was obvious that they were going to be transported for a long distance, which was also a little different from the vehicles requisitioned by the Kamans in Qinghe and other places at the beginning, and these details made Bo Jinchen, who was in charge of such a big war for the first time, suspicious.
The target is very clearly pointed to the northwest, there is no grain to grab in the south, it can only be the prefectures of the northwest county, and the same as Fielding's judgment, Bo Jinchen also suspects that the prey of the Kaman people is the grain reserve of Yinchuan and Qingyang, especially now is the critical time to deliver grain to the Sislo, not only a large number of carriages in the northwest gather in Qingyang and Yinchuan to provide convenience for the Kamans, Qingyang and Yinchuan do not have many troops to defend, if they come to such a hand, it can really be said to be a decisive move. When receiving the information transferred from the intelligence department, although Bo Jinchen did not know how the Kamans could avoid his own interception and transport the grain back to North Jieluo, he still did not hesitate to order the Ranger Regiment operating in Yulin to return quickly, and in the shortest possible time, he sent Li Wufeng, who was far away in Burma County, to ask the Third Ranger Regiment in Xikang and the Second Ranger Regiment in Ulanji to quickly reinforce Qingyang, and complete the interception of the Kamans in the shortest possible time, if the Kamans really dared to raid Qingyang and Yinchuan.
But almost everyone despised the strong mobilization ability and courage of the Kaman people in the predicament, in the face of the danger of running out of food, even if the front is the Longtan Tiger's Den, they have to break through, rather than sit and wait for death in North Jieluo, it is better to take a risk, after Miley informed Nick who was far away in Qinghe, Nick immediately expressed his full support, and even gave up the long-term preparation of using large-scale grain transportation as bait to attract the Western Xinjiang Army to finally complete the campaign preparations for the encirclement, and transferred three thousand cavalry from the army under his control to rush to the aid of North Gerok at the first time, the absolute trust of the two also laid the foundation for the Kaman people's raid on Yinchuan Qingyang.
When the intelligence intelligence in the northwest learned that the Kaman cavalry in the northern Terok region had urgently reported to the relevant parties in the western Xinjiang, Miley had actually completed the pre-battle preparations for the entire raid campaign, and the 40,000 cavalry, together with a large number of mules, horses, vehicles and servants, had already prepared to stop at the armored horses, and all the heavy cavalry had taken off their armor and horse armor, discarded all the excess equipment, and ensured that they could march lightly and quickly, when Bo Jinchen was still waiting for the order of His Royal Highness the King of Qin to be conveyed to the Third Ranger Regiment in Xikang, Baron Ferdinand had already led 40,000 cavalry and a large number of chariots and horses to gallop along the southern foot of the Zagros Mountains。
No one would have thought that the Kamans would have such great determination and courage to cross the hinterland of Western Xinjiang, the two prefectures of Taixuan and Yinchuan, and eight hundred miles, such a crazy feat was actually led by a newly promoted baron as a commander, and this battle would establish Ferdinand's immortal position in the strong Kaman army.
