"Well, if we really want to deal with Lin Guoxiong and them, it's really a good way. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info nodded appreciatively, Situ Mingyue showed a satisfied look on his face, and sighed secretly in his heart, he is worthy of being a military expert, and he can come up with a countermeasure immediately, although it does not conform to the meaning he just proposed.

"There's a second option. At this time, He Zhiqiu's momentum also became more confident, obviously very proud of his plan.

"Oh, tell me more about it. Situ Mingyue was also very interested.

"The Maqi Khans have always regarded Yuejing and the area west of the original Jemero Kingdom as their sphere of influence, and they have long been involved, so there will be an action to annex the two places, and the reason why the two Lin Lang families are in such a hurry to enter this area is actually stimulated by the Maqi Khans, if they don't do it again, I'm afraid they won't have their share, of course, they chose to do it at this time, and it was quite a good time, just when the imperial army contained the main army of the Maqi Khans, so that the Maqi Khans could not do anything even if they had the intention to interfere。 ”

In this way, the two sides will inevitably have contradictions, and the Maqi Khans will not let Lin Lang and the two families easily succeed, and may even take the risk of pulling out the Imperial Forest Corps that has just withdrawn from the Eastern Milan front to intervene, which will not have an impact on Lang Yongquan for the time being, but it is a great threat to Lin Guoxiong, and may even lead to the failure of their military plans, of course, it depends on the progress of both sides. He Zhiqiu showed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth at this time, obviously full of confidence in his second plan.

"Well, that's quite possible. Situ Mingyue nodded in agreement with the military minister's analysis.

"Moreover, the Maqi Khans can also use their influence to urge the Nanyang Alliance to send troops, which will have a huge impact on both Lin Lang and the two families, of course, as we all know, it is not easy for the Nanyang Alliance Council to pass a resolution to send troops, at least it will take a certain amount of time, but even so, even if the Lin Lang and the two families can occupy that area according to their own plan, but if they are not consolidated in the short term, they will be expelled from this area by the Maqi Khans sooner or later, and they will only be cheapened by the Maqi Khans in vain, so that they can get an excuse to march into this region in a bright light。 He Zhiqiu's cautious analysis made Situ Mingyue nod again and again.

"Then in your opinion, how should the empire deal with it?" Situ Mingyue became even more curious.

"In the minister's humble opinion, at present, the empire can increase its military deployment in Wuhu County on the southern front, and it can put on a posture of not hesitating to fight a big battle during the Spring Festival, and it is better to continue to increase troops on the southern front line of Wuhu County, and take a tough posture diplomatically, resolutely refuse to negotiate with Ma Qihan, and ask them to withdraw from Yuejing immediately. He Zhiqiu talked eloquently.

"Then what is the purpose of doing this?" Situ Mingyue didn't understand what his confidant minister meant for a while.

"It's very simple, it is to make it impossible for the Maqi Khans to draw up troops, maintain strong pressure on their northern front, and make their Imperial Forest Corps dare not draw to the west to interfere with the actions of the Lin Lang family. If we can achieve this, we will be more than half of our plan. There was a confident glint in the eyes of the Minister of War.

"As long as Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan are given a long enough time, then Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the Union of Romanesia and Burma, after all, the economic development there is far inferior to that of Sanjiang County and Tiannan County, and there are also a considerable number of Tang people living in those two areas, and the relationship with the local ethnic groups is also quite harmonious. As long as they can gain a firm foothold, the strength of the two of them can also be greatly improved, and the contradictions with the Maqi Khans and even the Nanyang Alliance will intensify sooner or later, and the two of them will basically have the strength to fight with the Maqi Khans or the Nanyang Alliance, and this battle is inevitable, and the empire can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. No matter who wins or loses, the loser will not be mentioned, the winner will also be greatly damaged, and the empire can also win a considerable buffer period, which is the so-called two tigers. ”

The Minister of War's plan is more clever than the first plan, out of conflict of interests, the control of the southwest region cannot be given up for the two Lin Lang and the Maqi Khan, although the Lin Lang two have the lead, but the strength and stamina of the Maqi Khans are obviously stronger than the two, if the two families are not given a period of time to consolidate their rule and digest and absorb, and even strengthen their strength, these two regions will change hands sooner or later, so He Zhiqiu asked to drag the Maqi Khans with heavy troops, so that they could not free up their hands to deal with the military operations of the two families.

"Brilliant plan! good!" After listening to He Zhiqiu's strategy, Situ Mingyue couldn't help but exclaim, "Aiqing's plan is wonderful, let them toss a few families, we can also try to make it invincible and undefeated, and maintain a better balance of power." ”

Nodding approvingly, He Zhiqiu saw that His Majesty the Emperor appreciated it, and his confidence doubled, "Therefore, the minister has considered several auxiliary means to promote the smooth realization of this plan." ”

"Well, speak. ”

"The first is naturally to increase the investment of troops on the southern front, and maintain an offensive posture, and try to maintain strong military pressure on the Maqi Khans; second, to reduce the military pressure on Sanjiang and Tiannan counties, we can gradually reduce the garrisons with Sanjiang and Tiannan counties, and even hint through secret channels that the Lin Lang family supports their external expansion, and the reduction of troops from the border between their two counties is a clear proof, so that they can free up more forces to deal with the military threat that may come from the Maqi Khans and the Nanyang Alliance; third, diplomatically once again protest to the Nanyang Alliance, asking them to sever their conscientious contacts with the Maqi Khans and demand the Kingdom of Milan, the Grand Duchy of Mahad and the Principality of Andako maintain a certain amount of military pressure on the Maqi Khan, especially the Kingdom of Milan, which can immediately send envoys to coordinate and try to increase the pressure on the Maqi Khans from all aspects, so that they will not dare to let go of their hands and reserve troops. ”

He Zhiqiu put forward several of his own measures in one breath, all of which were quite lethal, and once again let His Majesty the Emperor see the resourcefulness and ability of this confidant minister.

"Okay, Aiqing said it well, these measures must be done immediately. In this way, you will go and spread my will tonight, so that the first, second, and third divisions of the City Guard Corps will leave Beijing overnight and immediately leave for Wuhu County, and the troops stationed on the southern front line will enter a state of first-class combat readiness. The staff department should make a good plan, and the logistics department should immediately prepare the logistics materials. Tomorrow I asked Sariden to make an urgent visit to Milan, Andako and Mahad, and Jing Zezhong to visit the Nanyang Alliance to coordinate the action. In addition, the contact and communication with Sanjiang County and Tiannan County will be handled by Aiqing, and the troops stationed near the two counties will also be deployed by Aiqing as appropriate. Situ Mingyue did not hesitate to adopt this plan once it was decided, and issued an order cleanly, asking the Minister of War to implement it overnight.

Wechen went to do it immediately. He Zhiqiu did not refuse, hurriedly made a peace salute and turned away, leaving His Majesty the Emperor alone in the imperial study still carefully reminiscing.

Almost at the same time, Sanglin City, the capital of the Mache Khanate, successively received urgent information from the spies lurking in Tiannan County and Sanjiang County of the Tang River Empire.

Bi Xili, who was dressed in a nightgown, had a gloomy face, and when he saw Lei Juetian coming, his face improved slightly, and he hurriedly beckoned his first henchman to take a seat.

"Juetian, I didn't expect that Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan actually came up with this hand in this bone joint, hey, it's enough! We all underestimate these two old things!" Bi Xili sighed, obviously this sudden bad news made him a little confused.

"Well, Great Khan, we are indeed a little underestimated, I didn't expect Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan to be silent in the past two years, and they actually dared to come to such a hand when the Tang people sacrificed the Spring Festival, it is worthy of Jiang is old and spicy!" Although Lei Juetian's face was also serious, he was still very calm.

"Juetian, what should we do now?" Bi Xili looked at his brain with hope.

"It's really a bit difficult now, our army is still being pinned down by the troops of the Tang River Empire on the northern front, and the only thing that can be used at the moment is Your Majesty's three Royal Forest Corps, and the first and second Royal Forest Corps have just returned from the Eastern Front, and they have not been fully rested and replenished, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to dispatch for a while." Lei Juetian frowned and muttered, as if he had other concerns besides the reasons he had already stated.

"No, I can't take care of it now, I can let the Third Royal Forest Corps go east immediately, and the First and Second Royal Forest Corps will prepare while resting and replenishing, and order Ming Zhong to let all the troops stationed in Yuejing enter a state of combat readiness, ready to go out at any time, and must not let these two old things take their own food. At this time, Bichli showed his determination as the king of a nation.

"Wait a minute, Great Khan, and we'll talk about it again. The Minister of State, who looked worried, hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

"Juetian, what other concerns do you have?" Bi Xili respected his own wisdom very much.

"Great Khan, I'm not just worried about the Lin Lang family, if we drain all the reserves, once there is a change on the northern front or the eastern front, we will be quite passive. Lei Juetian finally voiced his concerns.

"You mean, the Tang River people or the Milanese will take advantage of the fire to rob?" Bi Xili's face also became solemn, obviously thinking of this as well.

"It's hard to say. The Tang Empire on the northern front has concentrated more than 400,000 troops, and our troops there are only enough to protect ourselves, and if the other side is increasing its troops, our pressure will be even greater; while on the eastern front, there are only three understaffed corps, which should be said to be quite weak, and once the Milanese tear up the treaty, we may be attacked by the enemy, and we will have no troops to use. General Mingzhong only has four corps in his hands, and he has to control the entire Yuejing area, which is already quite tense, and it is very difficult to draw out people. "Lei Juetian is very sober and calculates the strength of the enemy and us quite accurately.

"Then we are helpless to see them take what should be ours?" Bichley's heart was full of unwillingness.
