When Wufeng led the whole army on the road, the main force of more than 200,000 led by Situ Mingzhi had already caught fire with the vanguard of the troops led by Tu Da, the general of the Luobei people's expedition to the east. The southeast corner of the East Tengger Prairie and the junction of the Tang River Empire, here has become the main camp of the Luo Pei Expedition to the East General Tu Da, here the military camp is continuous, the flag is fluttering, everywhere is a lively scene of people shouting and neighing, in the middle of the military camp in the largest tent, a burly man with a golden face and a big beard is lying on a refined sandalwood coffee table produced in the Jinzhou Mansion of the Tang River Empire to carefully check the map, outside the tent, more than 30 fierce Luo Pei guards are guarding around the tent with the mace used by Luo Pei soldiers, and there are two guards with sabers on their waists standing at the mouth of the tent。

"Report!"

"Come in," replied the big man who was looking at the map without raising his head.

A general who was not tall but full of spirit came in from the door of the tent, "Report to the general, the vanguard led by his subordinates clashed with the enemy's vanguard troops in the territory of the enemy country one hundred and twenty miles southeast of the main camp, and the subordinates took advantage of the opponent's lack of reaction to take the opponent by surprise, and in one fell swoop defeated a light infantry wing of the enemy, killing more than 1,000 enemies. ”

"Very well, well done, is your scout back?"

"Report to your lordship, I haven't come back yet. ”

"Sit down, it seems that the enemy wants to really fight us this time. Someone! Go and inform the two generals, Kurdo and Hashan, to my account. ”

With two loud "reports", two more young generals entered, these two and Geya, who came in earlier, are known as the "Three Warriors of the Eastern Expedition" of the Luope people, and are the most famous generals under the general Tu Da of the Eastern Expedition, who have made great contributions to the defeat of the Mott people, and are also the vanguard of the invasion of the Western Regions and the Tang River Empire in recent years. After the three of them sat down, Tu Da, that is, the middle-aged burly man who was looking at the map, took a sip of the tea on the table, "According to our internal report, the enemy has transferred 220,000 people this time, including more than 30,000 heavy cavalry, 40,000 light cavalry, 100,000 light infantry, and 50,000 heavy infantry infantry. The problem is that the enemy actually has more than 50,000 heavy infantry troops, and the three of them are all battle-hardened generals, of course, they know that the hoplites are the natural enemies of the cavalry, and the enemy has dispatched so many heavy infantry, and the intention is obvious, it is to fight a defensive war with their own side, to fight a protracted war, which is quite unfavorable to their own side.

"Everyone here knows that we Luope people grew up on horseback, cavalry is our pride, but also our main force, its impact and mobile surname is incomparable to the infantry, every time we used its mobile surname to win the final victory, but this time is different, the enemy's strength is superior to ours, and zhan has a geographical advantage, if they are determined to fight a defensive war with us, a protracted war, it will be difficult to deal with. ”

"The general's analysis is correct, the enemy occupies a geographical advantage, the military strength is superior, and the logistics support has no worries, if we fight a war of attrition with us, I am afraid we will not be able to afford it. The black-faced Ha Xian said.

"Even if we can afford to spend our troops, we can't afford to spend time, and we are still in a hurry to wait for food and livestock in our own territory. Geya added.

"I wonder who the commander of the enemy's leading army this time is?" asked Kurdo, who had not opened his mouth all this time. Tu Da showed an appreciative look in his eyes, and in one sentence, he was worthy of being the eldest of the three warriors.

"If the enemy's commander this time was an old and serious fellow, I would have ordered to turn around and join up with the Motts and Tubu to attack the Sithroes. People and enemies are all occupied, if there is another excellent commander, we can say that there is no chance, but God does not stop us, this time the enemy's commander is the younger brother of the emperor of the Tang River Empire Situ Mingyue, called Situ Mingzhi, according to intelligence, this person's surname is impatient, so happy, and lacks experience in big battles, it is really a noble person given to us by God, so we have a chance. Stay for a while, let's plan and try to fight a good fight. In addition, according to the intelligence, the old guy Sun Yuanliang of Yinchuan Mansion seems to be a little impatient, and one of his garrison divisions seems to have been dispatched, in order to avoid side complications, Kurdo, you will send someone to see Sun Yuanliang in a while, hand over my letter to him, and tell him that as long as his troops do not move, I promise that within three years, my troops will not attack his territory, and if he is a smart man, he will consider it. If we win this time, I guess the enemy in this area will probably not be able to organize a larger team anymore, this will be the happy land of our Luope people, I only hope that the Great Khan can arrange it as soon as possible, we have already delayed too many opportunities and time. ”

The imperial army led by Situ Mingzhi was stationed on a plain about 180 miles away from the main camp of Tuda, and the commanders of the various imperial departments were holding a combat meeting in the commander's tent, and the commanders of the marshal's tent were heavily guarded, and the participants attending the meeting were officers above the head of each division and regiment, and the deputy commander-in-chief of this operation, the commander of the Third Army Corps, Singh, was making operational arrangements." Now that we have finished the introduction of the enemy's situation, I will now announce the battle plan: the 2nd Heavy Infantry Division of the 3rd Army Corps and the 1st Heavy Infantry Division of the 2nd Army Corps will be stationed in the central part of the Tuchi Plain, and the 3rd and 5th Divisions of the City Guard Corps will be stationed behind the above two divisions. The 1st Heavy Cavalry Division, the 3rd and 4th Light Infantry Divisions of the 3rd Army Corps were stationed on their left flank, and the 2nd Mixed Cavalry Division and the 3rd Light Infantry Division of the 2nd Army Corps were stationed on their right flank. I now give the floor to Lord Zhenguo. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a golden opportunity in front of us, our forces greatly outnumber the enemy, we have a geographical advantage, we have no need to worry about logistics, what reason do we have not to defeat the enemy? Our purpose is very clear, that is, to block the enemy's advance, the enemy does not dare to consume time with us, and what we have is time, so the victory of this war will definitely belong to us, of course, if we have the opportunity to destroy the enemy more and better, the opportunity should not be missed, but it must be reported to the command for approval. In this campaign, if there is a person who escapes from the battle and disobeys the order, he will be dealt with immediately by military law, and if he has made great achievements, I will ask the emperor to personally present him with an award, hoping that you will be victorious and successful. I am here to look forward to your good news. ”

Just when the war between the Tang River Empire and the Luope people was in full swing, the rest of the mainland reacted differently. The capital of the Heathrow Empire was Lenssk. In the Imperial Palace, the Toulon Palace, the throned Philippe V is talking solemnly with Prime Minister Perlman.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gomez of Kaman has sent us an envoy with the hope that we will provide troops to cooperate with them in their attack to the south, and it is said that he has made the same request to Poole and Dodon. ”

"Hmph, doesn't he know that the Motts and the Tubu have united on our western frontier? Philip V looked dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, we can conduct routine drills for the troops stationed on the southern frontier and put on an offensive posture, anyway, it is impossible to withdraw the troops there, and say to Kaman that we are already cooperating with the attack, and as for how effective it can be, it is not our responsibility. If Kaman can really make a difference, it's not too late for us to act. Prime Minister Perlman suggested with a smile on his face.

Fili V's eyes lit up, "Okay, this is a good idea, we don't offend Kaman, we don't have to lose, we can sit back and enjoy it." ”

Haysen City, the capital of the Poole Kingdom. In the royal palace, the Rose Palace, where the blonde Sezerif IX was presiding over a state council, and the great general Kunmbo was reporting to the young king on the readiness of the army. The Third Corps, with a total of 140,000 troops, has secretly marched south to the south to stand by at the border with the Tang River people, but it is estimated that such a large military movement will definitely not be hidden from the Tang River people and the Gerlok people, all kinds of logistics and military supplies are ready, the first corps of the army is still stationed in Glacier City to monitor the Baiyin people, and other cities have recruited reserve troops after the garrison has left to prevent accidents. ”

This was followed by the report of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tallinn: "The envoys of the Don Empire and the Principality of Gerlok to our country have presented their credentials to me protesting against the large-scale military movements of our country on the border, which they consider to be detrimental to the improvement of relations between the two countries. ”

After listening to the confluence of the ministries, Sezeri IX made his final speech," At present, Kaman and Siathrow are ready, the Tanghe people in order to deal with the Luope, in their north, three divisions, we will attack south at the same time as Kaman, as for the final goal, Kaman must want to occupy Gerok, we are training, our troops have not been trained for a long time, which is not conducive to the growth of the troops, and the second is to see if we can take advantage of this opportunity to pick some cheap, Kaman has promised me that no matter what the result is, I will pay 5,000,000 gold coins, if there is a good result, it will be calculated separately。 As we all know, our country is currently in financial difficulties, and after the floods last year, many domestic water conservancy, roads and other infrastructure are in urgent need of repair, so Kaman's conditions are just right for me. Gomez, the old fox, also saw this and did it. But fortunately, we have nothing to lose, so let's support it for the sake of our neighbors. Whether or not his purpose can be achieved is none of our business. ”

The capital of the Macedan Khanate was Sanglin. In the unification hall of the Great Khan's Palace, the energetic Bihili Great Khan was listening attentively to the report of his confidant Tulu, the head of the National Intelligence Agency, "Since the Tanghe people are all drawn from the Northern Military Region, the Western Military Region and the City Guard Army, the troops of their Southern Military Region have not changed, on the contrary, they have strengthened their vigilance, and our internal line reflects that their diplomatic envoy also secretly visited our eastern neighbor Milan, which is estimated to be aimed at us." In addition, intelligence shows that there are no major changes in the Sanjiang Lin family and Tiannanlang family within them, but it seems that the Lin family is reorganizing the local garrison forces of various prefectures in Sanjiang County, but in any case, they will not be able to catch up with this opportunity. In the north, Kaman, Sislo, and Poole are all making large-scale military movements, and Dodon has not yet reflected on it, and it is estimated that war will definitely break out. In addition, some merchants of the city-states of the Nanyang Alliance to the south of us seem to be very dissatisfied with our tariff adjustment some time ago, and are lobbying everywhere for us to restore the increase to the original level. ”

"It seems that there is no more drama for us this time, Situ Mingyue, an old thing, has guarded us quite closely. Bihili Khan, who was full of disappointment, gritted his teeth and said.

"Didn't he know that the three northern countries were about to take action against him, and why didn't he draw troops from the south?" Bichli was still a little unwilling.

The surrounding ministers of His Royal Highness were a little funny, the Great Khan wanted to go north and wanted to go crazy, and even considered the transfer arrangements for the Emperor of the Tang River Empire to deal with the Northern War, but it was a pity that the other party did not accept it, to put it bluntly, he still wanted to take advantage of the other party.

"Great Khan, the Tang people are very cunning, we can't hide the rapid growth of our military strength in recent years, and the three northern kingdoms, the Sithro people are facing the joint attack of the Mott and Tubu people to take care of themselves, and they can't draw much troops to go south, at most they cooperate with each other to make a shelf, Kaman has some weight, but there is a Gerok in the middle, and the real border with the Tang River Empire, but there is the natural danger of Taixuanfu, so at most Gerok suffers some losses, as for Poole, he only suffered a great flood last year, and his vitality has not yet recovered, except for the military strength of the barbarians who are left to control their own north, the rest of them want to go south to the Central Plains It is probably a fool's dream, These circumstances, the people of Tanghe must also know that He Zhiqiu, Lu Wenfu and several other people in their court are all old and slippery guys. The middle-aged man who came out of the queue analyzed the current situation in an orderly manner, and although he and Lu were on the opposite side when mentioning He, Lu, the middle-aged man's tone still showed admiration.

This momentum is mediocre, The unpretentious middle-aged man is Bi Xili's first arm and henchman Lei Juetian, he was originally a native of Jiangnan County of the Tang River Empire, because he was born in a civilian country, after graduating from the Imperial University, he was repeatedly discriminated against in job hunting, and finally found a position, no matter how good he performed, he still had no hope of promotion for several years, he asked his boss in anger, the boss replied that you are not from a good background, he left his job in a fit of anger and lived in seclusion, but fate played tricks, he liked a rich woman, but the other party refused because he was not famous, after being hit hard, ten years ago, he came to the Maqi Khanate, Mao recommended himself, and was ambitiously trying to expand the Great Khan Bi Xili Xiang, entrusted with a heavy responsibilityThree years ago, the city-states of the South Sea Alliance and the Kingdom of Milan united to put pressure on the Macede Khanate on the grounds that the Tariffs of the Maceda Khanate were too high, Bi Xili sent the general Yaning to lead the troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, Lei Juetian was sent to Milan, and their alliance was disintegrated through the three-inch tongue, and the general Yaning also defeated the combined army of the city-states of the Nanyang Alliance, thus establishing the status of the first power in the south of the Eastern Continent.

Lei Juetian's words won the frequent nods of the ministers present, and Bi Xili was also very clear about the reason, but he always felt that it was a pity to lose such a good opportunity, and his heart was a little unbalanced.

"Great Khan, I think the current situation is very favorable to us, and I think we should change the current policy. ”

"Oh, tell me what to do?" said Bichily, intrigued.

"I need to carefully calculate this, and when the time comes, I will present it to you when I have a complete plan. ”

"Okay, if you have any difficulties, come to me directly. ”

"Xie Da Khan. It's just the current situation, and it's up to you to decide what kind of countermeasures we take. Bi Xili thought about it for a moment, "Well, in the current situation, let's sit quietly and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." The National Intelligence Agency should do everything in its power to collect information on the surrounding forces, and not be stingy with money, which is well spent. As for the merchants of the South Seas Alliance, I will ignore them for the time being, and see how they can do my ideological work. Hahahaha!"

The capital of the kingdom of Dodon is the city of Liber. The royal palace in the center of the city - Bawi Palace. "Ladies and gentlemen, just now Duke Dumen has made clear the intention of the envoys of the Kaman Empire and the Tang River Empire, and I hope that everyone will express their opinions for Your Majesty's reference. The speaker was Duke Mariinsky, the prime minister of the kingdom, known as the "political tumbler", who had been in the position of prime minister for twenty years.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others believe that they should agree to Karman's request, after all, the Kaman Emperor Delica II is His Majesty's cousin, and more importantly, the current military strength in the north of the Tang River Empire is empty, especially in the area near our border, there are only two divisions and regiments, which can be taken in one fell swoop, so that our land can increase by nearly 200,000 square kilometers, and many of the people in that area are related to the residents of our country by marriage, and they can quickly integrate into our country, and we can also obtain such a large piece of fertile land. At present, the national strength of the Tang River Empire is not as good as the other, and now it is about to fight with the Luopi people, Kaman, Poole, and Sislo, and there are enemies such as Maqi Khan and Yi people in the south and east of it, and there is still the hidden danger of civil strife in the feudal towns inside, so the minister thinks that this is a golden opportunity and must not be lost. "The speaker was General Lemai, a typical war fanatic who was bent on conquering the north and south and expanding the kingdom, and had repeatedly suggested forming a military alliance with Kaman, Sithro, and Poole, and going south together to carve up the Don Empire. His remarks immediately won the strong support of the hard-line generals in the army, and even some ministers who were usually neutral felt that his words were very reasonable.

"Your Majesty, by no means, the minister thinks that it is in the best interest of our country to remain neutral. "It was the Home Secretary Strauss who stood out against it.

"Tell me your reasoning. Anderson I, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, there is no serious conflict between our country and the Tang River Empire, and the relationship has always been good, this is one thing; our country has always had very close economic exchanges with the Tang River Empire, and once a war breaks out, economic and trade exchanges will be interrupted, which will be a heavy blow to our country's economy, this is the second thing; the external situation is not exactly as General Lemai said, the Sithlos are currently mainly focused on dealing with the nomads to their west, and the main target of the Kaman is Gerlock, not the Tang River Empire, as for the Poole people, last year's catastrophe, the north is not stable at present, and if you want to go south, it is just wishful thinking, and there will never be a good resultThe northern part of our country is also not stable, the Bains have not yet been completely subjugated, and the east and south are constantly attacking our east and southeast coasts, and the common people in these areas of ours have suffered great losses, and the local reaction is also very strong, and there is intelligence that there are already signs of a beginning of unity within the Yi people, and if they unite, it will pose a great threat to the territorial integrity of our east and south, especially the Cook Islands, and the minister believes that this is the most urgent thing at the moment, and this is the fourth; last and most important pointEven if we can now take the territory of the northeastern border area of the Tanghe people, it is still a question whether we can hold it in the future, let alone integrate that area into our country. The minister's opinion is over, please see your majesty. Strauss's opinion was analyzed and realistic, and immediately resonated with most of the ministers present, even Anderson I nodded slightly, and even some generals who had already supported Lemai's opinion were a little hesitant, and those neutrals also nodded in support of Strauss, only General Lemai and the other two generals of the army hardliners glared at Strauss angrily, but could not find a stronger words to refute, and the latter smiled politely at them and nodded.

"Duke Mariinsky, share your views and opinions. "Seeing His Majesty the King call his name, the fat Prime Minister Mariinsky spoke in a hurry.." General Lemai and the Marquis Strauss have just explained their views and reasons, General Lemai is dedicated to serving the country and wants to expand the territory of the kingdom, his loyalty, I think everyone here, including me, is very moved, His Majesty will not forget, but the Marquis Strauss's opinion is also very reasonable, at present the countries are all about to move, what should we do? Our northern Baiin people have not yet surrendered and held back a considerable part of our forces, while the Yi people in the southeast are not willing to be lonely, constantly attacking our coastal strips, and there is a tendency to expand, and our coastal defense needs to be reorganized, and our economy is not enough to support a large-scale, protracted war with the Tang Empire, and it is a little naïve to fantasize about the support of other countries or their own internal problems, and there has never been a case in history where we can rely on external forces in exchange for our own victory. Therefore, I think we should consider this matter comprehensively and comprehensively, and not only see the immediate interests in isolation, only when we are strong, will we have more opportunities, and at present, we need to solve some things that need to be solved urgently. I believe that His Majesty has made a decision, so let's ask His Majesty to make a judgment!"

Anderson I's words were conclusive: "I have understood your opinions, and I am very touched by your loyalty to the development of our kingdom of Dodon, and in the light of the present situation, I think it is most appropriate for us to adopt an attitude of not helping each other." As for the Yi people, we must pay enough attention to it, and hope that the military department will immediately come up with a plan to deal with it, and if necessary, it can join hands with the Tang River Empire, I heard that their coastal areas are also very harassed by the Yi people, and we can exchange information with them, and cooperate with each other militarily, I believe they will also be interested. The diplomatic department should immediately contact the Tang River Empire and try to reach an agreement as soon as possible. ”

Jiangchuan Mansion, the capital of Sanjiang County, is the military and political envoy's office. There are five people sitting in the hall, four men and one woman, one of whom has a man with two temples that have been a little white, but his spirit is still very vigorous, he is the famous Lin family head Lin Guoxiong, the two people on his left hand look a little similar to him, much younger, that is his eldest son and second son Lin Yunfei, Lin Yunxiang, the right hand is a twenty-eight year old beauty, eyebrows like a spring mountain, the bottom of the eyes are flowing, blowing broken pink cheeks, a calm and relaxed taste.

"Little sister, what do you think of the Empire's military operation this time?"

"Yes, don't sell it, tell your two brothers. The two young men on the left couldn't help themselves and began to complain.

"Yuexin, as a father, I also want to hear your opinion, so as to decide our next plan. Lin Guoxiong also spoke.

This young woman is Lin Yuexin, who has gained a reputation in recent years and is known as the "Jade Fox".

"I'm not optimistic about the Empire's military operation this time. Lin Yuexin was blunt about her opinion.

Lin Guoxiong nodded, "What is the reason?"

Seeing that the two brothers next to her were a little confused, she sighed softly, "Although the imperial army has an advantage, it is composed of several departments, lacking coordination, Situ Mingzhi is ambitious and talented, impatient and arrogant, and the opponent Luo Peiren's general Tu Da is far-sighted, he is a rare general, his troops are strong and strong, quite talented, I heard that there are three people known as the "Three Warriors of the Eastern Expedition", and they are also quite talented in military affairs. Compared with the two, the fate of the emperor [***] team is worrying. ”

Although she was not on the same front with the Empire, she couldn't help but feel sympathy in her heart when she thought that the fate of 200,000 compatriots might befall her.

"If the result is not what we expected, we have to step up the reorganization of the troops, it is estimated that after the defeat of the empire, the morale of the imperial [***] team will be greatly damaged, the military pressure on us will be greatly reduced, and the time to advance westward will gradually be ripe, and it seems that negotiations with the Lang family can also be prepared. Lin Guoxiong concluded confidently.

Nanfeng Mansion, the capital of Tiannan County, is the military and political envoy's office. In the study room in the northeast corner of the house, a thin middle-aged man is giving another middle-aged man a task: "Strengthen the collection of the situation in Sanjiang County, and find out the purpose and progress of their troop reorganization." In addition, the movement of troops in the Mache Khanate should also be closely monitored, and any changes should be reported immediately. We should not neglect our contacts with the Imperial Court and China, and do everything possible to win the support of those powerful ministers of the Imperial Court. Okay, that's all, let's go down and make good arrangements. ”

"Yes, sir. After the middle-aged subordinate left, this thin middle-aged man stood up, looked at the northwest direction and said to himself, "How can Situ Mingzhi fight against Tu Da, this old fox? I don't know what Situ Mingyue thinks." ”
