Section 7 Surrender

The dull atmosphere enveloped the two of them, and for a moment they both fell into long-term contemplation.

What should I do? Wufeng is also repeatedly calculating the pros and cons. The Taiping Sect rebellion within the empire is imminent. According to his own judgment, it should break out in one or two months. The Guansai area is a major disaster area and is also a key road to the eastward movement. It must be a key area controlled by the Taiping Sect. If he does not take advantage of their position before he can stand firm, it will be much more difficult for him to advance eastward again. But if he wants to ensure the stability of Taixuan Prefecture City, he must retain at least three elite divisions. If he includes the security divisions of Taixuan Prefecture City, he must also leave two divisions to station, and at least one division must be kept near Taixuan Prefecture to support at any time. Otherwise, once the Kaman soldiers are in the forefront, it will inevitably lead to an unexpected situation.

Having occupied three divisions of troops, most of the regular army he owned in Northwest County has been used. Even if the independent First Cavalry Division whose combat power has not yet been fully formed, there are only two divisions left. It would be a bit too much to participate in the battle against Kansai.

Giving up Taixuan Mansion can at least free up two divisions. It is enough to just equip one more division in Guide Mansion. Then with four divisions and nearly 100,000 troops, and the Bonan Guard Division, which has already made preparations in advance, I am quite sure that I can control most of Guanxi County and also have a glimpse of the Heshuo area. But this negative impact is indeed too great. What Ling Tianfang said just now is just a way to cover up his ears and steal the bells. Maybe it can be hidden for a while. It will definitely be exposed after a little longer. After all, such a big thing cannot be covered up tightly.

At this moment, Ling Tianfang was also trying to weigh the pros and cons. Although he advocated giving up Taixuan Mansion just now, he also considered that his master might not agree with such means that would damage his glorious image. You should know how difficult it is to establish a brilliant image in the hearts of the people under the current situation, but it is very easy to destroy it. He was also considering whether his ideas were appropriate. Moreover, Taixuan Mansion is vast and has important locations. If it can be controlled, it is a good place with great development potential. At least it can restrain the pace of the Kamans moving south from Teluoke after occupying the western part of Teluoke.

This war was originally dialectical. Although the Kamans had restrained a large number of troops on their own side, they also restrained the main force of the Kamans after they were released. It was just that the Taiping Cult seemed to have been twisted with the Kamans and the others.

The two of them raised their heads almost at the same time. As their eyes collided, they seemed to understand the other party's meaning. They smiled happily and Wufeng nodded, "Tianfang, it seems that you have new ideas again, so why not talk about it first."

"Sir, I'm afraid our thoughts are the same." Ling Tianfang shook his head and showed a rare smile on his face.

"Well, my opinion is to stick to Taixuan Mansion. If the Kamans really want to capture it, we will not be able to do it and stay with you to the end. If they just keep the pressure and wait for the opportunity, we will do our own things. But I am thinking that we will make a little adjustment to the composition of the garrison troops." Wufeng briefly said his own opinion.

"How do you plan to make adjustments?" Ling Tianfang asked directly without saying much.

"I want the Fourth Division to station Taixuan Prefecture, and the Second Division to station, and the Independent First Cavalry Division to station in the border area between Taixuan Prefecture and Guide Prefecture for mobile support. By the way, you can also monitor the battle situation in the east of Lulong Prefecture and the Duchy of Jeroke in the east to prevent accidents. As for the Second Security Division in Taixuan Prefecture, my opinion is that we will conduct an inspection first to prevent any situation similar to that of their Third Security Division. If necessary, appropriate adjustments can be made, but it is best not to affect its combat effectiveness. Fielding? Now he may be a clay Buddha who crosses the river and cannot protect himself. He is just waiting for the arrival of the Imperial Gendarmerie or the General Administration of Supervision. I think you are responsible for the military and political management of the entire Taixuan area for the time being." Wufeng slowly expressed his plans.

"Well, the Fourth Division can take on the main defensive force. Kamapov is a good candidate. Although Cui Wenxiu is gone, Shalang is also a talent and should be competent. However, if this Taixuan Second Division does not make adjustments, I am afraid it will take a look. Fielding is a rare talent. I think if you have the chance, it is best to save him. This guy can manage Taixuan Mansion like an iron barrel. It is not easy. It is not his fault for the fall of Jiayuguan. I have already understood that although the rebellious Sig has some skills, it is mainly because of the Lord's initiative to promote it. Fielding can't stop his master from promoting a person. He just didn't expect that this guy was an insider. The Kamans worked very hard."

Ling Tianfang had no big objection to Wufeng's arrangements, and it was imperative to let himself take charge of Taixuan. Since he decided to control Taixuan Mansion in his own hands, without a person of sufficient weight to control the overall situation, Wufeng would not dare to leave easily.

"Also, sir, the establishment of the First Independent Cavalry Division was too short. Will it be a bit hasty to let them join the battle?" Ling Tianfang asked hesitated.

"Hmph, I haven't experienced the battle formation, how can I really grow up? I'm just preparing for the job now. If I have the chance, I'll let them go to Derlock or Lulong Mansion to really train." Wu Feng raised his eyebrows, "No matter how well-equipped the troops are, they are used for war. If they don't fight, no matter how well-equipped they are, they are just decorations!"

The crowds of people who were welcoming, children cheering, women who were in high clothing, and flowers that could not be seen were all moved by Wufeng, Ling Tianfang and several other generals. The simple people actually had low requirements. As long as they could bring them a stable living environment, they could live and work safely. However, in this chaotic world, these seemingly simple requirements have become unsatisfactory extravagant hopes. For their own interests, countries and forces are constantly fighting for each other, so how can they care about the ideas of the people?

Seeing all this in front of you, Wufeng felt a deep helplessness. Maybe his original intention was not to fight, but the cruel reality forced you not to develop or fight. The final outcome was that you were swallowed. Wufeng did not want to be the swallowed party, so he had to keep swallowing the other party until the end.

Taixuan Prefecture is located in the northeast corner of the northwest county, bordering the Duchy of Telok and Lulong Prefecture of Beiyuan County in the east, adjacent to Yinchuan Prefecture in the west, bounded to the north by the Zagros Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains as the boundary, and connected to the two empires of Sisro and Kaman, and connected to Guide Prefecture in the south. The terrain of the whole prefecture is flat and the land is fertile. The city is in the center of the plain. The population of the whole prefecture is about 1.2 million, and the area is second only to Yinchuan Prefecture and Qingyang Prefecture in the entire northwest county. It has rich resources and produces a lot of grain and beets. It is an important sugar production area in the north of the empire. The hilly areas near the Zagros Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains are rich in high-quality wood.

Looking at the thick and tall city walls and the relatively complete fortifications, Wufeng couldn't help but nod. It seemed that Fielding had put some effort into urban defense. Although it was not as good as Qingyang Mansion, it was much stronger than the other mansions. The powerful force in front of him was probably the remaining Second Security Division of Taixuan Mansion. It seemed that it was quite combat-capable. The middle-aged man was naturally the guardian of Fielding in Taixuan Mansion.

"The guilty minister, Fielding, has met the Jiedushi!" The middle-aged man's face turned a little white, and his eyes were a little blue, which was obviously a sign of poor sleep.

"Why did Lord Fielding say this?" Wufeng and Ling Tianfang, who had just sat down in the city guard house, were stunned.

"Sir, the order signed by the Imperial Administration and the Military Affairs Office has been completed. The Imperial Administration has just received all the positions of the Imperial Administration. I have just waited for the arrival of the other appointed by the Imperial Administration and the Gendarmerie Headquarters to be handed over, waiting for the investigation of the Imperial Administration and the Gendarmerie Headquarters. I heard that the Imperial Administration appointed by the Imperial Administration is already on the way."

Fielding's expression was quite calm. He had expected this day long ago, and his original master also brought someone to a message, so that he would not talk nonsense. He would do everything he could to help him, but Fielding had no hope. He knew his master's nature very well. Now he had lost any value and was not worth his attention on it.

"Oh?!" Wufeng's expression moved slightly. He did not expect that the empire's reaction was so fast that he had already bypassed the order to hold the accountable and directly sent it to Taixuan Mansion. Obviously, he did not take himself seriously, the military and political governor of the Northwest County who had not yet taken over the real power of Taixuan Mansion. He probably wanted to control the administrative power here in front of him, but he had to work hard to resist the Kaman army for them. This abacus was quite good.

"Mr. Fielding, I think you are wrong. Whether it is the General Administration, the General Administration of Military Affairs, or the Inspectorate and the Military Police Command, they have the power to investigate you directly, but they do not have the power to remove your Taixuan Prefecture City Guard. Maybe they had this power five years ago, but now Northwest County has been approved by the Emperor's Palace Conference to establish the Military and Political Military Governor's Office. Then the city guards and dismissals of the entire Northwest County prefecture should be exercised by the person who is the Military and Political Military Governor's Office, and no other department does not have this power. I think, before I, Li Wufeng, removed you, you were still the city guards of Taixuan Prefecture in Northwest County, and you should still perform your duties well now." Wufeng said slowly with his eyes half-closed, but his tone was unquestionable.

"This, ``````````" Fielding was surprised.

"You can cooperate with the investigation of the Central Empire, but the premise is that it cannot affect the work you are currently responsible for. Everything is first subject to the current situation and doing your job well. As for the so-called newly appointed city guard, I think it's better to go back and forth." Wufeng's powerful words made Fielding stunned on the spot. Even the generals next to him realized at this time that Wufeng still wanted Fielding to continue to serve as the city guard of Taixuan Mansion.

Fielding was silent for a while, and the eyes staring at Wufeng's face flashed with complex light. After a long time, there was no words. The conference hall was silent.
