"It's not that they think it's that they don't have so many people to conduct the exercises at all. This is just a trick. We were all fooled by Cheng Dayou. There was no movement around Panlong Town, and there was no soldiers and soldiers. The exercises were too small. What does this mean?" Liang Chongxin sighed lightly and shook his head, "This guy really has some acting talent. He can actually use this trick under our noses. I think it's dangerous for either Huanggang or Jiujiang."

The strong man sitting next to Liang Chongxin was Xiong Daoyuan. He seemed to hear the implicit meaning of the commander: "Mr. Liang, what do you mean is that this Cheng Dayou may give up attacking our Tianshui and change his target to attack Huanggang or Jiujiang?"

He waved his hand to signal the scouts and intelligence personnel to continue to strengthen surveillance. Liang Chongxin said: "It's not possible, but certain. I dare to conclude that there is not much left of the Taiping Army stationed at the junction of Tianshui. Cheng Dayou gave us a trick to hide the truth and quietly pulled away the main army, creating an illusion for us, as if he was still setting up a stand in Panlong Town to practice stalls. In fact, he had already made another idea."

"My lord means that Cheng Dayou used a transport vehicle to quietly transfer the troops?" Xiong Daoyuan gradually understood Liang Chongxin's meaning, "But how could no one notice such a large-scale transfer?"

"Hmph, Cheng Dayou must have other auxiliary means. I'm just saying that although the Taiping Army is a rebel, it has never interfered with the circulation of commercial routes, and the tax rates collected are mostly consistent with the Empire. How could it be suddenly increased significantly? There is also a curfew. It turns out that this guy wanted to use this method to reduce the possibility of past business travelers exposing him. The transport trucks all use high wing boards to transport soldiers at night, and they can be pulled to the east of Hejian overnight. Everyone's attention is focused on Panlong Town. Our scouts only pay attention to the west and north. Where can they put much energy on their way back? The spies and scouts on the Empire are probably the same as ours, staring at Panlong.

Taiping Army, how could it be that there was just an empty camp there. Even if it was not an empty camp, there would probably not be many people left behind." Liang Chongxin stood up, walked to the window, looked out of the distance with his hands behind his back, and said for a while: "Now, see if the imperial army in Huanggang and Jiujiang are vigilant enough. Cheng Dayou repeatedly used surprise troops and did not play according to common sense. This time, he adopted the method of hiding day and walking at night. I was worried that he would not have noticed this. But even if they discovered it now, it would probably be a bit late. If Cheng Dayou concentrated more than 100,000 troops in his hands to attack any of these two palaces, I guess the imperial army would be unable to resist, especially Jiujiang. The north was full of flat horses, which was conducive to Cheng Dayou's surprise surprise attack!"

"Then do we need to remind the empire or send troops to help them?" Xiong Daoyuan asked inappropriately.

After glanced at the other party in a faint glance, Liang Chongxin smiled and said, "Daoyuan, reminder is not very valuable anymore. I guess Cheng Dayou has appeared on the land of Huanggang or Jiujiang at this time. At this time, reminding the third prince will only make him suspicious, suspecting that we have joined forces with the Taiping Army to play an empty city plan. As for sending troops, where to send troops, where to send troops? Hejian or Jincheng? In addition, the Taiping Army on the border, there are at least 50,000 troops in Hejian. Attacking Hejian may also attract Taiping Army in the middle or north of Longquan and Heshan. We cannot get the desired result. Jincheng? The third prince will not think that we want to help him, but we only think that we want to take advantage of the situation and seize the territory. Lord Li will not agree. Depending on Lord Li's intention, at least we still need to maintain a friendly and friendly relationship with the third prince."

He sighed with some regret, Xiong Daoyuan smacked his lips and said, "Isn't it a chance to fight again? The bald boys under my command screamed in the camp all day long and wanted to fight. This time we came from Bonan excitedly, and it came faster than any other time. We just wanted to catch a war. Unexpectedly, the soft boys of the Taiping Army will not come again. Isn't this just a happy match? Otherwise, Boss Liang, let's take the initiative to attack and give the Taiping Army a lesson and teach the Taiping Army a lesson that huddled in Panlong Town. We will not be in vain for this trip."

Somewhat ridiculously, Liang Chongxin shook his head: "Daoyuan, you are also a senior general in our Northwest Army. Why are you still like the team leader of your team leader? Now there are wars everywhere. As a soldier, are you still afraid that there will be no war? The goal of the adults has been determined, and you know, will the enemy hand over what we want obediently? Hehe, by that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight."

Liang Chongxin had a vague feeling about his boss's ideas. His boss seemed not very interested in fighting with the Taiping Army, and even had the taste of deliberately making the Taiping Army one horse. Last time he encircled and annihilated the Taiping Army in Longdong, the fish that escaped the net seemed to be a bit like the boss deliberately making a move. Liang Chongxin dared to say that he was absolutely sure that he could wipe it out, but his boss seemed to have other far-reaching ideas, but some topics were more sensitive and could only be understood but not expressed in words.

Xiong Daoyuan scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "Boss Liang, I'm going to tell you that the brothers have been looking forward to fighting this war for a long time. They usually train, but no matter how much they train, they can't match the real war training troops. Moreover, there are subsidies for fighting, which is also a considerable income for the brothers below."

Liang Chongxin sighed slightly, "But there are sacrifices in wars. Have you ever thought about Daoyuan? Which war does not shed blood and sacrifice?"

"Boss Liang, you are right, but if you are afraid of death, don't join the army, but there are not many soldiers in the world? When our troops need to be supplemented, they are not interested in joining our reserves. Don't they know that people will die when they fight? There are so many people among the common people who participate in the Pacific Army, let alone our Northwest Army. Although our people of the same tribe have greatly improved their lives under Lord Li's rule, there are still many people living in the mountains and living a difficult life. To put it bluntly, our tribesmen can't do anything except brute force, collecting herbs and hunting in the mountains, and they can't go out of the mountain. It's a luxury to be selected to be a soldier." Xiong Daoyuan's expression darkened and he sighed.

Liang Chongxin was silent, and what the other party said was indeed reasonable. The northwest is not as good as his hometown in Jiangnan. But even if there are as many farmers in his hometown as bankrupt due to poverty every year, women become prostitutes, jumping into a well and hanging themselves on the river to commit suicide. What's more, this bitter and cold place in the northwest? This is an unsolvable social problem.

While receiving the urgent report from Liang Chongxin that the Taiping Army might divert its target and head south to invade, Wu Feng also received information from the Maqi Khans invading Wen Ning and Baling Prefectures. Wu Feng, who had just had time to repair it for a few days, had to face the huge changes in the situation in the Central Plains.

Wufeng stared blankly at the large map on the screen wall, and marked the clear strength of each party on the map one by one.

The Taiping Cult in the north has controlled most of the Beiyuan and Heshuo, and two prefectures in Yanyun County have fallen into the hands of the Taiping Cult, which seems to be very prosperous. However, Wufeng is not very worried about this. The Taiping Cult now seems powerful, but their strategic position is extremely unfavorable. There is the resistance of the empire in the south, the constraints of Situ Tai in the east, and the threats of its own in the west. However, in the north, there are two military powers that have always been salivating for the empire, especially Kaman, who has been planning for a long time and intends to form a strategic alliance with the Taiping Cult and support the Taiping Cult in all aspects. Before the situation of the empire is determined, these two families must strongly support the Taiping Cult. Once the situation becomes stable, the two evil tigers will slowly reveal their fangs. By then, the Taiping Cult will suffer the consequences of themselves, and it is not so good to truly realize that it is not so good to bring the wolf into the house.

However, there are many smart people among the Taiping Cult. Of course, You Daofang and Bo Jinchen would not have considered these. Annexed Heshuo and went south to Wuhu Lakes, probably to expand the depth of the strategy to prepare for possible variables in the future. However, they underestimated the power of the aristocratic forces of the Southern Empire. As rebels, they may easily gain the support of the lower class in the north, and even many middle and upper class will support them. However, the situation in the south is very different. The power of the land aristocrats is much stronger, and the industrial and commercial class will only focus on who can meet their interests and who is able to protect their interests. It is quite difficult to gain a foothold in the south, let alone the restraint between themselves and Lin Lang families.

Situ Jun's performance was a little bad. He even threw Tianshui to himself without the courage to fight, and he took a big advantage in vain. However, this also stimulated the appetite of the Taiping Army. If someone like this presided over the overall situation of the Five Lakes, Cheng Dayou is afraid that he will not let go easily. He can only hope that the Imperial Army will not be too disappointing. If it is also in Huanggang and Jiujiang, it is really possible that the Taiping Army will gain a foothold in the northern part of Wuhu County.

Wufeng was in a little conflicted mood at this time. He knew that maybe the Taiping Army went south to occupy it, which might be more conducive to his entry into the Central Plains. Those land nobles could use the Taiping Army to sweep it away. If he could really destroy the Taiping Army in the future, it would be much easier to act in the Wuhu Lakes. But now the Maqi Khan has invaded the southern part of Wuhu Lake, and the situation has undergone some subtle changes. If the Taiping Army is allowed to sweep across the Wuhu Lake area, it may also reduce the resistance to the Maqi Khan's attack, which is quite dangerous.
