The surrender of Jiangnan seemed to be like the sound of a gong that kicked off the battle situation in the north. When the battle of Jiangnan was still not yet settled, the Battle of Yunzhong in the north and the Battle of Longquan in the south almost kicked off at the same time.

Longquan Mansion lives in the northern part of the Heshuo Plain like a towering tiger beast. It not only has the northern barrier of Heshuo in Jinzhong, but also the eastern wings of Black Mountain. It is like a thick shield firmly blocking the wind and rain of Heshuo Mansions. However, this time, Longquan Mansion is probably going to welcome the most grand battle after the Taiping Cult defeated the Imperial Army a few years ago. The 200,000 imperial army completely eliminated the 14th Empire, which was originally stationed in the Sanwangzhuang Fortress Group in the northwest of Zhongzhou, almost overnight.

The legion, even Lan Bailin, the commander of the 14th Army, disappeared in this battle. Only less than 20,000 people of the entire 14th Army fled to Qinghe. The Imperial City Guards and the Third Legion, which quickly followed, advanced westward along the line, and bypassed the eastern mountainous land in the northeast of Longquan and penetrated directly into the hinterland of the Heshuo Plain, and put on a stance that they would swallow Longquan and occupy Jinzhong. Yousufu even made a bold statement and demanded that the Western Frontier Army withdraw from the entire Heshuo County and Beiyuan County, otherwise they would face serious consequences.

Perhaps many people think that Yusufu's words are just some vain talks. With the current strength of the Western Front, a small city guard army dares to speak wildly, which is simply ignorant of the world. However, those who truly understand the current situation in the north know that Yusufu's words are not aimless, nor groundless. The battle of Yunzhongfu has begun in advance. Although the formal war has not yet begun, the coalition forces from Dodon and Puer have cooperated with the First Corps of the Empire have surrounded Yunzhong. It can be said that the arrow is already on the string, which is necessary. It is also very difficult for the Fifth Corps to defend Yunzhong with their own strength, although their

The legion is quite good at defense. In the middle line, Qinghe Prefecture was very strong under Cui Wenxiu's management, and the 1st Division of the 12th Legion suffered a great loss because of its rashness. On the three northern fronts, I am afraid that the defense momentum of Qinghe on the middle line was the most stable. In the southern line, the Imperial City Guard Corps had approached Longquan Mansion with the cooperation of the Third Legion and directly threatened the security of Jinzhong. The originally weakest southern line defense was the weakest because the Tiger Wing Army retreated from the west of the imperial capital to defend Jinzhong, and the Fourth Division of the Third Legion of the Western Front rushed to Longquan to rescue Longquan, which slightly alleviated the situation in Longquan. In addition, Huangfu Tiancheng's troops of the Second Division of the Imperial Guard Corps joined the Jinzhong defense, which finally ushered in a turning point.

Cui Wenxiu was very distressed. In fact, the situation had eased after the annihilation of the 12th enemy's 12th Legion in Qinghe Prefecture, especially when His Highness of Qin decisively ordered the Tiger Wing Army to give up the imperial capital and protect Jinzhong, which suddenly changed the situation in Heshuo fundamentally. Longquan Prefecture originally had only one Jiang Han division to defend, but now the Fourth Division has been added, and its defense ability has doubled. Jinzhong has even defended the Tiger Wing Army and Huangfu Tiancheng's troops, Huangfu Tiancheng's three

The soldiers of the corps have been expanded into a reorganized division in the shortest time. Although their combat effectiveness may not be comparable to the original Second Division of the Imperial Guard Corps, Huangfu Tiancheng is also a famous veteran of training in the Imperial Army. The large reserve of officers allows his division to easily complete the reorganization of the division after obtaining sufficient soldiers. Cui Wenxiu believes that only one or two battles can be used to completely join the Western Xinjiang Massacre.

Cui Wenxiu felt the most depressed that this battle is that according to the current situation, the Third Legion may have to maintain this steady and counterattacking posture. Although the four Rangers have rushed overnight, this long journey of thousands of miles is still a day or two before they can be put into battle even if they arrive in Beiyuan. The situation in Yunzhong Prefecture is already in danger. Whether it is reasonable or reasonable, the stability of Yunzhong Prefecture should be first guaranteed. This is what His Highness and himself have made it clear.

The four divisions of the rangers will be put into the Yunzhong battlefield and launch an attack on the Puer and Dudun people to relieve the pressure on Yunzhongfu. There is no need to say much about the central line. Under the pressure of the city guards and the third legion, as long as the defense lines of Longquan and Jinzhong can be stabilized, according to Cui Wenxiu's vision, it is probably the five or six legions in the Wuhu and the Peninsula should also take action. They struggled to support the northern war zone, and they fought happily in the south. This was the first time Cui Wenxiu has tasted this taste.

Cui Wenxiu has a strong confidence in Jiang Han. Longquan Mansion had him and Zhao Shangwu carrying the defensive banner. He was sure that Yusufu would try the defense of the Third Legion would not be worse than the offensive battles they were good at. Bo Jinchen had arrived in Jinzhong to deploy defense. The sudden change in the imperial capital city. Ma Yuan regained the power of the imperial guards and turned completely to the Situ family. This situation made Jinzhong suddenly become the front line after he had been hiding in Longquan's protection. Not only did the Eighth Ninth Legion, which had always been ambiguous, might join the battle situation, but the most dangerous thing was that Ma Yuan was regained control of the Imperial Guards. Once the Imperial Guards broke the taboos since the founding of the Empire, they were afraid that the Jinzhong Mansion would become the complete first stop. At present, the Empire is in this situation, and it is not new to be broken.

Bo Jinchen looked at the middle-aged officer with a handsome face and a scholar in front of him with a good look. No one could tell that he was Huangfu Tiancheng, the leading Confucian general in the Imperial Guard Corps. He had a thin cheeks and a Confucian shirt. No matter how you look at it, he was a literati who was well-read in poetry and books. If you should say that he was a soldier, most people would think that he was probably a clerk like the copywriter of the division commander.

When Bo Jinchen sighed, he, a remnant of the Taiping Sect, would sit with the senior general of the Imperial Guard, and negotiated how to defeat the so-called orthodox royal family of the Empire. This kind of thing that almost only happens in opera actually happened to him. How could Bo Jinchen not be mixed?

"Mr. Bo, Brother Tiancheng, it seems that Ma Yuanling is really going to use troops to our Jinzhong. We are not very clear about the strength of the Imperial Guard. It seems that the empire has never left the imperial capital to fight wars since its establishment. Even when Luobei or the northern Liberians threatened the most, it seems that only the city guards had been dispatched, but the Imperial Guards did not move much. This time they are afraid they will really face us. Brother Tiancheng, you came out of the Imperial Guards and know very well about the strength of the Imperial Guards. Can you introduce them to us?"

Walking on the walls of Jinzhong Prefecture City, Song Tianxiong looked east, and a flat plain connected the east side of Jinzhong and Zhongzhou. The Fanjiang River meandered east along the north of Jinzhong City and flowed into the imperial capital. This link is also the most important transportation channel for Jinzhong and the imperial capital. Most of the various productions in the imperial capital and coal from Jinzhong are connected through this channel.

Now this waterway does not seem to be affected by the tension between the imperial capital and Jinzhong. From a distance, there are still endless ships coming and going on the river. Most of the way from Jinzhong to Zhongzhou are retail vendors and passengers. After all, the road is much faster, and the road from Jinzhong to the imperial capital is also flat and spacious. It is fast enough to arrive in a day and a night.

"Mr. Bo, brother Tianxiong, although the Imperial Guard has never left the capital, and has never experienced any wars over the years. Every year, there are only symbolic competitions and exercises. If you want to talk about flaws, this is probably the biggest regret of the Imperial Guard, that is, there is no real war in the established war." Huangfu Tiancheng looked thoughtful. He was carefully considering his words. Although he has now become a member of the Western Army, if he belittles the Imperial Guard too much, it will not conform to the facts and will also mislead his colleagues. Moreover, Huangfu Tiancheng is not a person who wins respect by using these words to win the respect of his colleagues.

"If Ma Yuan had taken over the Imperial Guard Corps, I'm afraid the Imperial Guard Army could indeed be called an absolute paper tiger with strong external strength and hard work in the middle. However, in the past ten years since Ma Yuan had taken over the Imperial Guard Army, brothers must say that the power of this army has undergone a substantial change."

Huangfu Tiancheng's words suddenly aroused great interest from Bo Jinchen and Song Tianxiong, "I hope to hear it carefully."

"Ma Yuanchang is a man who is quite good at both military ability and power-based skills. Lord Bo may know that the struggle for the power of the Imperial Guard has always been the focus of the Situ family. However, Ma Yuanchang was unmoved when the late emperor had not passed away. In the Imperial Guard, at least three divisions should definitely be in his hands, and there is also a division. My judgment Although it appears that he has close contact with others, I can assert that as long as Ma Yuanchang comes forward, he still has the same as he still has the same judgment.

He will be loyal to him, only brothers, haha, maybe he has always had a rebellious mentality. He always believes that the Imperial Guard will only be able to die in such a stance, and cannot become a truly deserved Imperial Guard, so he has always maintained a certain distance in many aspects. If the brothers had not had some foundation in the Second Division, it would be difficult for him to sit firmly in this Imperial Guard. However, Ma Yuangui's mind is quite broad and he did not deliberately suppress the Second Division for this reason."
