Chapter 58: Intervention
Qin Yuming took Yao'er back to the mainland, and Yang Chengyu also returned to the military gate. He was worried about the matter of the Goddess Kingdom, so he wanted to go directly, but if the matter at Baling Pass was not solved, he would not dare to leave directly? So, Yao'er couldn't stop a few days after leaving, so he ran to Baling Pass in person to visit the 100 soldiers stationed in Baling Pass. He asked about the food, how about the military pay, and whether there was any abnormal situation in Baling Pass...
Standing above Baling Pass and looking down, the left and right sides of Baling Pass are indeed wide and the terrain is also very good. He likes the mountain passes like this most. He is the guardian, and Yue Qunshan is the attacking party, so he must take advantage of it. Baling Pass belongs to the Shushan Pass. This area is too large, which is definitely beneficial to the attacking party, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is good for the defending party. He is most clear about the transportation situation of the mountain pass. It is not easy to pull the large siege weapons of Zhenxihou. The main problem he is worried about is time. The war is too long or Zhenxihou plays a head battle with him, which is very unfavorable for him. Yuzhou does not have that much money to fight protracted wars, and there are not so many soldiers fighting with others.
Lao Bute was cheated and smashed more than 20 million taels of silver but didn't get anything. The current finance department probably couldn't even get over half a year. If Yue Zhongren attacked Baling at this time, Yuzhou would probably have to withstand it for three months at most. Fortunately, the war would not start at this time.
He knows the situation in Yuzhou better than anyone else. Civil wars are different from foreign wars, and the East and the West are even more different. In the desert, he is going to fight others. There is no long-term war. He fights when he can fight, and retreats when he can't win. No one can chase Yuzhou to attack his nest. However, to grab territory in the desert, the troops must be enough. Not only can the troops in the desert not retreat, but also have to continue to increase troops. Now all the troops in the desert have more than 300,000, and in the later stage, they will also recruit 100,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry. It is not possible to recruit soldiers. There is no large amount of funds in Yuzhou within half a year, so the consequences can be guessed without saying anything.
The cavalry of 300,000 plus the Western Liao Dynasty is 400,000, and the infantry of 200,000 is 300,000, which is all 700,000,000, which is as high as 700,000 troops. If it is placed in the mainland, the 700,000 army is enough to break everything, but what is the current situation? The 700,000 troops cannot even be kept by one hundred people, and they must all enter the desert to compete for territory. It is not to say that they can stay in Yuzhou. How much does the 700,000 army cost each month? Without the financial resources of the desert, the entire Yuzhou will be completely disbanded in less than a month.
The Eastern battlefield is different from the Western battlefield. How to fight in the west? If it is a mule or a horse, we will pull it out directly. The hard anus of the bright sword and real gun. Whoever has more troops and has stronger combat power will win. There is no such nonsense. This is also the reason for the terrain. The geographical climate of the desert determines the Western war mode. You can only rely on strength to fight hard. If you want to play tricks, there is no place to play. What is the situation in the Eastern battlefield? Mountains and rivers are crisscrossing, rivers are intertwined, cities are numerous, and there is countless dangerous passes. What can you do if you have more soldiers? Can you guarantee to kill me within a month? If I have more money than you, I can drag you to death. There is another state that has lost this state. The army of 300,000 is lost in minutes. There is no saying that if you lose once, it will be completely defeated. On the surface, Yuzhou has a strong army, but it is strong only in the desert, but the mainland is outrageously weak.
There was not so many troops left in Yuzhou at all. Since the previous year, his troops have been rising. The more soldiers, the greater the expenses, the more soldiers, the more they need soldiers. There is no way, how can we grab territory without soldiers? Where can we get money for construction without territory? Just look at this 700,000 army in the desert is just enough. Lao Butt's 800,000 army has not stepped into the safety line for twenty years. What is the main reason? Isn't the troops not enough? So his 700,000 army in the mainland is always in a hurry, but in the desert is really weak. What he is afraid of now is that Wei Yan suddenly dies. Now fighting a civil war is really not good for him, or when Yuzhou's financial resources are lifted up, they can only think of fighting a civil war. The desert's troops not only cannot be pulled back, but also have to continue to adjust. The mainland's troops are not enough. Fight a civil war? Fight a big watermelon.
No matter what, Baling Pass must be kept. As long as Yue Zhongren can't chew Baling, he will naturally retreat obediently. Yuzhou can only develop slowly with buffer time. Whether it is to compete for financial resources or for the head of the people, it is a matter of background. It has been a matter of people who have been living for decades and have been working for a few years, which is certain that they are not as good as others.
The Kingdom of Goddess, only by taking over the Kingdom of Goddess can you gain huge financial support in a short period of time. With money, you can control how to fight Zhenxihou. If you want Baling, it will never be possible. At that time, I am afraid that Zhenxihou will not drag him to death, but he will drag him to death Zhenxihou in turn.
After seeing the specific situation of Baling Pass, I returned to Shancheng and transferred people from Shancheng to transport a batch of arms in the armory to Baling in advance. What are the Eight Niu Bed Crossbows, Catalogers, and the failed products that Xie Feng studied - super firecrackers. It is said that the failed products are mainly due to power, but that thing can explode! It can even be a weak force, so this paper thing is also listed as the military base. It doesn’t matter if it can’t blow up the city walls, it’s enough to blow people to death.
Arranged the military transport matter and returned to Yuzhou to inform Wang Si that Wang Si's Pioneer Camp would send people to Baling to transport grain. Wang Si's early escort mission was only one Modong, so the personnel were always 5,000. Later, a Shi army entered the inner circle from Mobei, which increased his Pioneer Camp to 10,000. Judging from now on, the personnel allocation of this Pioneer Camp would have to be increased, and he was too lazy to add another 5,500, and he would give him 20,000 people directly. At that time, if there was not enough manpower, he would hire civil servants.
Sitting at the command center, drinking tea and pondering. If you want to take down the Goddess Kingdom in the shortest time, you still have to mobilize troops. But Yuzhou is drawing troops here, it is estimated that Baling will be under pressure. There is no way, no matter how much pressure is, it will be drained. Yuzhou's finances are on the verge of collapse. If you don't quickly grab the Goddess Kingdom, you will be finished.
It's really not good if the desert has too few troops. Simon's country got Jester, and none of the 800,000 troops were transferred back. The ruling minister of Seroy, Leo, led more than one million troops to block the intersection of the western Mo Road, who doesn't understand what it means to do? So even if you grab the territory, you have to keep it. Otherwise, if the troops are not drawn out for half a month, all the territory will be taken back.
He lowered his head and drank a tea, raised his hand and wrote a letter to send it to the Beggars' Gang General. Yuzhou had no extra military sources, so he could only ask for people from the Beggars' Gang. The 150,000 new recruits were probably not too many. Think about how wise it was to establish the Beggars' Gang at the beginning. Nearly two million people in Yuzhou came from the Beggars' Gang. Without the manpower of the Beggars' Gang, how could the intelligence system run freely in just one year? Moreover, most of the military sources in Yuzhou were also in the Beggars' Gang. After calculation, the Beggars' Gang sent him hundreds of thousands of military sources, and he could bring him a small amount of finance every year. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Oh! The gang leader is more hateful than the boss who has left his hands."
When he was planning the Baling things, what happened to the Kingdom of Goddess?
…………
———
In the Kingdom of Goddess, in the main tent of the Goddess Army, "Mr. He, I would like to thank you for your support over the past year. But now, the Black Cavalry has crossed the border without permission without my Goddess Kingdom. Shouldn't Lord He give me an explanation?" The person who said this was a woman in leather armor, about thirty years old, and she was pretty cool and beautiful, but there were scars on her neck half a palm, which some affected the beauty of the woman.
"Haha! Commander Harleyfu, if my Black Cavalry hadn't suddenly crossed the border, do you think the intersection of the rear of the North Line would still be under your control now? The 100,000 troops of Kui Kingdom attacked the North Line, how long can your 50,000 or 60,000 troops be blocked? Is this the attitude you are helping you defend the North Line for more than ten days?" He Chengfeng said. He just entered the Goddess Kingdom and heard the northern line in a few days. The general of the Goddess Kingdom was dragged down by the 20-nation coalition forces of the Western Front. The intersection of the North Line is the main pole to the Kingdom of Z. If he is controlled by Kui Kingdom, he heard that the northern line of the Goddess Kingdom was in danger.
The late system would be very unfavorable to the Black Cavalry Army. Helplessly, He Chengfeng immediately sent someone to send a message to the commander of the Shijun at the 55th Station on the East Line. After receiving the message, Shijun rushed to the central circle overnight. Shijun also knew the importance of the intersection of the northern line to the late Western Army. If the main road leading to the country is controlled by Kui, it would be better. The country connects several empires in Mobei and Moxi, and nearly one-fifth of the caravans are unloading goods in the country. If the passage is controlled by Kui, then the country will not kill the Great Wei caravan? Anyway, your Black Cavalry will not come.
After marching for eight days, he rushed to the northern line of the Goddess Kingdom. Before he could rest, he directly rushed to the shaking Goddess Army. Fortunately, the intersection of the back road was not lost, and Shi Jun led the 50,000 Tiger Army to help the Goddess Army block the intersection again. The Lord Kui general saw that the Goddess Army reinforcements arrived and attacked twice, but he had no choice but to retreat to the intersection ahead.
After Harlefu arrived, he asked all the troops in the town to withdraw. The Shi army was not an idiot. He finally occupied the northern line of the Goddess Kingdom. How could she be willing to withdraw with just one word? Harlefu then found He Chengfeng to talk.
In the military tent, Shi Jun sat next to him and kept his eyes closed, but Harlefu would glare at him from time to time. As soon as Harlefu arrived at the northern line, he saw Shi Jun's army. When he asked for withdrawal, Shi Jun had no birds. She even said to her: Women, if you don't take care of your children at home, why run out to fight? Are all men in the Goddess Kingdom dead? Shi Jun's words made her very angry. What's wrong with women? Women can't lead their troops to fight? The most hateful thing is the saying goes home to take care of their children. Harlefu hasn't even gotten married, so where did the children come from? Now! His eyes stared at Shi Jun again, "Do you dare to ask what the general calls him?"
Shi Jun opened his eyes and glanced at her, "Zhenxi Army, the commander of the Tiger Legion, Shi Jun."
"How do you want to withdraw?" Halref asked
Shi Jun said without thinking, "Don't look for me about withdrawing troops, Lord He is here."
He Chengfeng was drinking tea with a smile beside him. He just liked Shi Jun's personality. He talked little and was very rigid in his work. He was originally going to meet the Prime Minister of the Goddess Kingdom first, but Harrefu directly called him to negotiate with the Northern Line. But what's there to talk about? It's impossible to withdraw the troops. If the Northern Line is at the hands of the Zhenxi Army, he still wants to go back? Are you kidding?
Halrefu looked at He Chengfeng again, "Mr. He dares to ask what is the matter of coming to my Goddess Kingdom this time? Are you also here to divide my Goddess Kingdom?"
He Chengfeng smiled, put down the teacup and said, "Haha! How can you divide up such things? My main purpose is to support the Kingdom of Goddess. I will go to the Goddess Palace to discuss the specific matters with the Prime Minister Yilin of your country, so the general will not worry about it."
"Hmph! Don't think that the little soldiers in my Goddess Kingdom are weak and can be bullied. Let me tell you, no matter who you look for, the Goddess Kingdom will never become a vassal of your Black Knight. I thought you were allies, but I didn't expect that if I lost Jester, I would have my idea on my Goddess Kingdom. What's the point?" Halref cursed angrily.
He Chengfeng frowned when he heard this, "What? General is looking down on the Western Army in the Town? To be honest, he will pay the price sooner or later on, and don't think that my Jiedushi will really swallow this. I advise the general not to mention these things in the future. It will be of no benefit to the Goddess Kingdom if my Jiedushi is angry."
"Hmph! Something that is strong and weak." Halref cursed again
"Since there is nothing to talk to the general, then I'm going to say goodbye." He Chengfeng stood up after he said that, and said that
"Not giving"
…………
The main account of the Goddess Army was released, "General Shi, I will go to the Goddess Palace to negotiate tomorrow. You will be more responsible here on the Northern Line. The swordsman who came over with the Black Cavalry brought a hundred students. Please take care of him."
Shi Jun nodded and said, "Yes! Now he has successfully intervened in the Goddess War. When Cui Zhi's 50,000 Tiger Army arrives, I will prepare to attack Kui Army and strive to capture the intersection in front. I have to go back to Yuzhou later. The lord is still waiting for me in Yuzhou. I will take 30 million yuan with 80 million taels of military expenses. If there is anything here, I can go to Cui Zhi to mobilize troops."
"Well, sir, I have also mentioned that I will come to the Kingdom of Goddess to negotiate. You can join the war as a mercenary first. If you attack the Kui army, you should use the mercenary status." He Chengfeng said
"Then I will go back to the military camp to study the offensive matters first. Say goodbye!" After saying that, Shi Jun left with his horse
He Chengfeng also took people to the Goddess Palace.
…………
At this time, in the goddess palace, "Mr. Yilin, the black cavalry army He Chengfeng went to the northern line the day before yesterday." The female official said
"Well, Leifu handed over the western line to Leiya and went to the northern line. It seems that she was going to negotiate with He Chengfeng in advance. The Black Rider suffered a great loss in Monan, and it was understandable to hit the Goddess Kingdom. But Mobei is not Monan. Any empire in Mobei is more than half a line than Monan. If I want my Goddess Kingdom to pay, it depends on whether the Black Rider has the strength to challenge Carter."
"But all our military funds come from the Black Cavalry. If we offend them too much, we may be..." The female official hesitated.
"It's okay, is Halena back?"
"There is no such armament at present. The number of that batch of arms is huge. It will take half a month to transport it from the Modong to the security line." The female official replied.
"Well, thanks to the Black Cavalry's two troubles, otherwise the Ukrainian Kingdom might have detained military funds for many times. When Halena arrives, she will come to see me immediately."
"Abide by the order"
…………
The person who talked to the female official was also a woman. If you look closely, this person is very beautiful and has a unique temperament of a mature woman. She has blonde hair, sky blue eyes, white skin as white as snow, and a small black mole under her red lips reveals the angel look of this woman. If you don’t know the name of this woman, you will probably think that this woman is only twenty years old. In fact, she is already nearly thirty years old, but twenty years old, and it is hard to have such a face. Who is this woman?
It is the prime minister of the Kingdom of Goddess——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
