The thirty-third chapter
A look of unfulfilled desire appeared on his face. Bi Xili was sitting in the main seat, and couldn't help but carefully savor the battle report sent from the front line again. In fact, he had read this battle report several times a few days ago, but the joy of victory was really intoxicating. He wanted to experience this atmosphere a few more times.
Lei Juetian, who was sitting aside, also showed a rare expression of satisfaction on his face, "The two generals completed this operation very beautifully, and our losses were relatively small. The Khan's burial of Mantnis II was also very exciting. At least on the surface, it can restore some morality for our military operations. Now the situation in Ankun City and the Kingdom of Jiemeilu has basically stabilized, and the two generals have also implemented the discipline of the army quite well, and there was no disturbance of the people, which is very beneficial to us. I think Khan can declare these two places as our territory for a while and build a new state."
"Huh? Jue Tian, isn't there any Yuejing Kingdom? Now we can take advantage of the victory and return to defeat Yuejing Kingdom in one fell swoop. Anyway, the situation of these two countries has stabilized, and this is also the plan you originally planned." Bi Xili seemed to have to stop the army when he heard Lei Jue Tian's intention, and he was a little unwilling to accept it. "The women of Yuejing Kingdom's skin are white, tender and smooth, and gentle, and can be compared with the women of Jiangnan in the Tanghe Empire. I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
"The Kingdom of Yuejing is already in his pocket, so it's too late to fight." Lei Juetian shook his head confidently and his face became serious. "But now the Milanese people are already preparing for war, and they are frequently in contact with the Tanghe Empire. If they want to join forces to deal with us, this situation must also be taken seriously."
"Damn Milan dogs, come and pull our hind legs again. One day I will step on them under my feet." Bi Xili cursed with gritted teeth, "But there are still 200,000 troops in our country, so we should be able to deal with the enemy's invasion, right?"
"The provocation of the Milanese people is nothing. What I am worried about is the reaction of the Tanghe people. The more than 200,000 troops in the southern military region were originally used to deal with us. According to the current situation, although they have mobilized war, I guess they still have many concerns. I don't have to anger the Tanghe people for the time being. I carefully studied the wording of the ultimatum sent by the Tanghe people. They just asked us to stop military operations immediately and called on us to withdraw troops from the occupied territory. These two sentences are very artistic. The Tanghe people also know that we will definitely not withdraw from the occupied area. They are not sure whether we have other goals, so their ultimatum just wants us to stop new actions. As for the withdrawal of troops, they are appealing, and their tone is much more relaxed."
After thinking about it for a while, Lei Jue Genius continued: "We can act like we want to attack Yuejing Kingdom, and negotiate with the Tanghe people immediately. Their diplomatic mission is coming soon. In this way, we can avoid the risk of being enemies with the Tanghe people and the Milan people at the same time. Without the support of the Tanghe people, the Milan people are just a piece of cake. If we dare to come, no matter how we can come or go, I believe they don't have the courage to do that."
"It's probably to increase the bargaining chips for negotiations, Jue Tian, you're so scheming." Bi Xili smiled trepidly, "It seems that my dream of being a woman in Yuejing has to wait for a while."
"The Yuejing Kingdom must be obtained. Its geographical location is too important, and the grain output is not small. After taking it, we can look down at the southern major channel of the eastern continent, and even the southern coastal countries, and it is not far from the sea outlet we have dreamed of. However, the current situation does not allow it. However, as long as we use the two pieces of land obtained in this war to accelerate the development of the economy and further enhance our economic and military strength, it is easy to win the Yuejing Kingdom by then." Lei Juetian's mind had already flown thousands of miles away, and imagined the prospects of the powerful Machi Khanate. "As for women, what is it? As long as the Dahan sends a letter, under this situation, the Yuejing people may not be able to ask for the Dahan's request, and they will immediately send it to you as much as you want."
"No, no, I'm just a joke, don't take it seriously." Bi Xili laughed, "However, we should tell Ming Chong to order the army to increase its alertness just in case. In addition, we must order Ya Ning and Pu Tiancheng to strengthen military discipline publicity and education, maintain the early results, and ask them to understand this issue from a strategic height. There must be no incidents that damage the image of the army. This is a major event that concerns whether we can establish a foothold in the local area." Bi Xili and Lei Juetian have the same deep understanding of this issue.
Lei Juetian was extremely impressed by his great khan in his major affairs, and nodded in agreement, "I will make arrangements right now."
Just as our army was about to prepare for a big battle, the intelligence department heard uneasy news. The chaotic troops in Guidebonan were hearing some news, and they both shrank their defense lines and concentrated the troops. What was even more anxious was that the chaotic troops of various chaotic troops had already begun to unite, which made me feel a headache.
It turned out that my plan was to take advantage of the fact that the chaos army was not subordinate to each other and had no interactions with each other, and planned to concentrate their superior forces to defeat each other, which allowed Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu to lead a battle group to march into Guide and Bonan respectively. But now the situation has changed tremendously, and this requires the commander to flexibly grasp the actual situation and not to stick to the plans formulated before the war. Although I have strong confidence in the two, after all, this is the two of them carrying out such a large military operation alone. Once the chaos army is concentrated, the number will be far greater than our army. I hope the two can judge the situation and make a correct judgment based on the changes in the battlefield. I let out a sigh of relief, walked out of the study, looked at the dark night sky, and silently wished.
Seeing the army camping nervously and preparing to start camping, there was a busy scene of people shouting and neighing horses everywhere. The soldiers were busy raising the horses and began to dig up simple trenches. The camp's flag was rushing against the strong northwest wind, and some camp tents had even begun to float smoke.
"Old Ka, we have been in Guide for more than 200 miles, but the situation seems to have changed a little. So far, our reconnaissance troops have not found a chaotic army with one soldier." Cui Wenxiu's forehead was locked, and she was obviously worried about the current situation.
"Yes, according to the information we set out before, there should be about 30,000 chaos troops in this area, among which nearly 30,000 chaos troops were entangled in the "Eternal Life Association", but now they have disappeared in vain. More than 30,000 people are not a small number. Has the enemy already noticed our intentions and escaped from our encirclement?" A hint of worry also appeared on Kamapov's dark face.
Cui Wenxiu and Kamapov's two divisions set out from Qingyang five days ago, and entered Guide by encirclement, one in the south and one north, hoping to annihilate the riots led by the "Eternal Life Association" in the western part of Guide. However, it has been five days since entering Guide, and there have been almost no riots except for the thousand miles of barren land after the war. The reconnaissance forces took great pains to learn from the local people who were hiding that a week before the anti-rebellion army came, the riots that had been active in this area disappeared, as if they had moved to the northeast.
The northeast direction should be the sphere of influence of the horse thieves, mainly the Iron Cavalry Association. Could it be that the two sides want to unite? But for so long, I have never heard of the movement of joining the two sides. Why did they slip away early just as soon as they were about to take action? My reconnaissance forces have been searching for two days, covering the entire western part of Guide. The area is flat, and there is no big forest or mountain, and there is no place for tens of thousands of people to hide. This shows that the chaos army is indeed no longer in the western part of Guide, so the information about slipping into the northern part of Guide should be accurate, which also shows that the possibility of alliance between the two sides is very high. The inside line of one side and the insider of the Snow Mountain Sect have not been heard in the past few days. I don’t know if there is any problem or something delayed?
While inspecting the camp, Cui Wenxiu and Kamapov were also silently sorting out all the problems in their minds. Unless someone was secretly manipulating them, they intended to unite their sides to fight against the clearance of their own troops. But how did the enemy control the movements of their own troops? Who could unite the chaotic troops that were originally unwilling to buy each other?
While thinking, you are secretly shocked. Those who can control these sides must be convinced by those who can convince these sides. Those who can convince them must be close to those with considerable strength. Only in this way can these sides obey their arrangements with peace of mind, otherwise once things are exposed, they can still be invincible.
But who is the manipulator behind this? Cui Wenxiu fell into deep thought.
Before leaving, Lord Li had told him that he would be away and that he would not accept the orders of the king. He could readjust the plan according to changes in the actual situation on the battlefield. However, now the enemy was nowhere to be seen. The two armies had joined together and the reconnaissance cavalry was out. The entire western part of Guide Prefecture had been reconnaissance, but the attack target was not found. This was really unexpected.
If other forces intervene, this will make the situation in Northwest County even more confusing. The hidden black hand will really choose the opportunity. Kaman, Sisro, or Sun Yuanliang? Or two of the three or even three of them collude to support the rebels? If this is the case, the situation will be very bad.
Faced with this sudden change, Cui Wenxiu was very confused, but he did not hesitate. That night, he and Kamapov discussed and made a decision to change the original plan of joining the annihilation army, first enter Guide Mansion City, and then use the Mansion City as a stronghold, divide the troops into two groups, adopt the policy of step by step, concentrate superior forces, and gradually clear the eastern, northern and southern parts of Guide, and immediately report the changes in the situation to Qingyang.
In comparison, the counter-insurgency operation in Bonan Prefecture in the south was much smoother. Although the chaotic army also showed signs of shrinking its defense, it was much slower. It seemed that the forces of the several sides were far from being as united as the chaotic army in Guide. Although the several sides had retreated, they were not concentrated. Moreover, they should still maintain contact with our army within the place where we sent it. This is our army firmly grasping the dynamics of the enemy.
On November 5, Liang Chongxin and Mulige led a 50,000 army to advance to Xiangshanji, an important town in the southwest of Bonan Prefecture. Here he seized a part of the western chaos army and formed a confrontation with about 30,000 chaos army gathered nearby. Another chaos army rushed here at night, intending to reinforce the chaos army here.
