In fact, until Besan was worried, Wu Feng did not make up his mind whether he needed to have a real reckoning with the Luope people. The Tengger grassland www.biquge.info is too big, even if the East Tengger grassland is more than 2,000 miles crossed, it is too difficult to defeat the Luope people in such a land, not to mention that he is not ready to fight with the Luope people to the death.

Although the Loulan rebellion was stirred up by Luo Pei people, Wu Feng was not surprised, anyone who saw that the original sphere of influence that belonged to him suddenly fell into the hands of outsiders would also have a stomach in his heart, and it was understandable to send some people to make trouble and vent, not to mention that he also helped himself to clear these hidden dangers hidden in the shadows. The Chidi people are now in trouble with the Luope people, fighting and stopping, and the purpose of Caron is also very clear, that is, he wants to contact himself to flank the Luope people, so that the Luope people will be completely defeated, and let the Chidi people dominate Tengger, this idea is actually not in line with the interests of the northwest, nor is it in line with Wufeng's view, the dominance of the Chidi people is not a good thing, maybe it is better to let the Luope people maintain a certain strength. But with the current strength of the Luope people, it is not what Wufeng wants to see, in Wufeng's view, to give the Luope people a certain blow, weaken its power, so that it even needs the support of the northwest when resisting the Chidi people, this level is the best in Wufeng's opinion, but to achieve this level of balance does require some ability.

However, these things have not yet put Wu Feng in the first place for the time being, and what makes Wu Feng feel a headache is the current change in the situation in the Central Plains.

On the night of May 29, 697 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, that is, the fourth day of the recovery of the whole territory of Wenning Mansion, there were ghosts and shadows on the Cangzhou border, and the black pressure and the endless emperor [***] team almost seemed to suddenly appear overnight, divided into several strategic echelons and assembled in several directions from east to north.

"Your Highness, everything is ready, just waiting for your order. Zhao Chenghuai, who had a solemn face, was dressed in full uniform, and the light cowhide armor was tightly wrapped around his body, making him look a little thinner, and a heavily armored man next to him was a tiger's back, and a half-arc crescent halberd was actually made by all the fine, but it was like nothing in his hands.

"Well, that's good. Nodding, Situ Tai, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, casually opened the folding fan in his hand, and looked at the rows of soldiers in front of him with satisfaction, worthy of the first legion of the empire, just from the momentum shown is enough to prove that the title of first is well-deserved for them, but if you want to wash away the reputation of retreating without a fight before, you need to prove it through today's battle. Turning his head, he casually asked another man in civilian clothes who had been following him all the time, "Has the situation changed over there?"

"Back to Your Highness, according to the information we have just obtained, the Taiping Sect has not made any moves, in addition to the 20,000 garrisons stationed in the entire Cangzhou, another 10,000 garrisons are stationed in Zhaojiaji, an important town in the south of Cangzhou, uh, it is used to guard against the emperor [***] team in the south. The man who followed Situ Tai quickly replied.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, whether it's 20,000 or 30,000, it's just some ants, our previous weakness was used as a show off by these guys, no matter how many people they have, they can't stop the advance of our First Legion, please believe that Your Highness will definitely be able to solve the battle within a week!" The one who answered the conversation was the majestic man beside Zhao Chenghuai, his face was full of meat, his thick lips turned to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, a pair of big furry hands were like ape arms, and he was integrated into one hand, and the crescent halberd that was originally inserted in the soil brought up a large piece of dirt and suddenly rose.

"Well, Long Ping, it's good to have confidence, but you can't underestimate the enemy, in addition to the 30,000 regular Taiping army, the Taiping army also has tens of thousands of militia with local surnames, these can't be careless, don't capsize in the gutter. Although Situ Tai was eager to take Cangzhou to give a gift to his father, he didn't dare to be careless, after all, this first army was where his foundation was, he could lose the land of one government and two provinces, and he was not willing to damage the army of a division, and the land could be recaptured if it was lost, and a battle-hardened army could not be trained in a short period of time, this was the capital he relied on.

And the one who spoke to him was one of the generals he admired the most, Tie Longping, the deputy commander of the First Army Corps and the commander of the First Division, a capable general who seemed to be rough and arrogant, but was actually very shrewd inside. In particular, the opponent's superb martial arts have reached a considerable level, even in the first legion of good hands, there are very few who can compete with him, in the previous first legion competitions, Tie Longping always likes to show his hand regardless of his identity, even Zhao Chenghuai is very dissatisfied with his behavior of having a shi, but every time he can always win the heartfelt worship of the junior soldiers.

"When the hour comes, please ask Your Highness to give an order. Zhao Chenghuai glanced at the herald who ran over, and bowed to Situ Tai.

"Well, order all departments to set off and enter Cangzhou!" Situ Tai nodded, took the order flag in the hands of the herald and handed it to Zhao Chenghuai, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Military Region, Zhao Chenghuai took it with serious hands, and then handed it to the vanguard officer Tie Longping, and with an order, the dense sergeants immediately poured into the night and headed towards the destination.

It was not until the afternoon of May 30 that Xiang Qianqiu, who was still intoxicated with fine wine and beautiful women, was informed that the imperial army had broken through the Taiping army's defense line from the east and north directions, and swooped down on the Cangzhou capital city in the center. It is said that it is a breakthrough, in fact, the Taiping army does not have much defense at all, and a large number of elite Taiping troops have been transferred to the Heshuo area in the south, and according to the agreement reached with Situ Tai, Cangzhou and Yunzhong and Yanshan counties will not be stationed within 50 miles of the border area, as a mutual guarantee of the sincerity of the two sides. And for such a period of time, the Taiping Army, which has been peaceful for a long time, seems to be content with the status quo, and even Xiang Qianqiu knows more or less what the idea of the Great Highness is in his heart, so he is more assured and bold to enjoy the rare leisurely life in this troubled world.

The imperial army tore up the agreement and attacked suddenly, so Xiang Qianqiu was shocked, but he was not very nervous, as an old fritter in the political arena, he had already learned how to indulge his own boat in this kind of turbulent Huanhai career, he was neither a hero with national righteousness, nor a hegemon who could dominate the fate of others, then leave those heart-wrenching things to those so-called heroic overlords to do, and he only needed to grasp the middle degree of understanding.

As early as the first time after the surrender of the Taiping Sect, Xiang Qianqiu keenly grasped the pulse of the times, a confession had already been handed over to the desk of Situ Tai, who was retreating in a big way.

It seems that it is time to fulfill the promise, Xiang Qianqiu lay on the bed and thought unhurriedly, but a pair of hands were still raging on the somewhat panicked favored concubine. Hehe, ever-changing, always in their own predictions, presumably at this time the city is already in a panic, it's okay, drag it out again, when the time is ripe, it's time to play its own role. Thinking of this, he was a little excited, and he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and he ripped off the silk embroidered belly pocket of the concubine's upper body, grabbed the trembling jade rabbit, turned over and picked up the gun on the horse, and wanted to do that trick, the concubine under him didn't expect that he still had the mind to play these tricks at this time, but he saw that the other party was full of interest, and he had to let him do it.

At the same time, all the units of the Taiping army stationed in Cangzhou City have been mobilized, and a team of 10,000 people stationed on the southern front has also responded immediately, and it is too late to return to Fucheng, so they can only strengthen the defense on the spot, and at the same time send a distress message to the Taiping army in the Beiyuan area to the west. The Taiping army stationed in Fucheng even mobilized 30,000 militia to cooperate with 20,000 Taiping troops to strengthen the city's defense facilities and actively prepare for war.

On the city tower, you can already faintly see the double dragon and pearl flag of the imperial army on the horizon, the black pressure of the infantry phalanx with heavy steps from the east and north two directions pressed over, the two wings of the infantry phalanx are well-arranged heavy cavalry, the dark iron leaf armor and horse armor flashing in the sunlight with dazzling black light, although the pace is not big, but the neat hooves are like bursts of thunder, rolling up the yellow dust in the sky, with boundless pressure. And scattered in the wide area on both sides are naturally the light armored cavalry, the smart pace and formation, the strong momentum displayed, so that the Taiping army standing on the city tower to observe the situation all feel the pressure, I didn't expect that the emperor [***] team that was about to collapse two years ago would actually behave like this, which can't help but surprise and panic them, was it that they deliberately retreated last time?

Although the heart is not full of confidence, but thinking that the letter for help has already been sent, he only needs to survive these few days, and the army that has come up from the rear can catch up, with long-term preparations, the city wall of Cangzhou Mansion has already been repaired completely, and all kinds of city defense facilities have also been prepared, although it can not be compared with such as Yanjing, Qingyang, and other fortified cities, but it can be regarded as some foundation in ordinary cities, and the Taiping army guards stationed in Cangzhou Mansion City still have considerable confidence in holding on for a few days.

A large number of logistical materials, pigs, beef and mutton, and fresh vegetables were continuously sent to the city wall, even the reserve troops stationed on the side of the city wall also enjoyed the same treatment, and even sent a large number of garrison troops to assist in the logistics support work of those chores, so that the soldiers in front of the army could resist the imperial army with peace of mind, which made the Taiping army commander even more grateful.
