Section 85 Mobilization
The arrival of the secret mission of Kalong finally put the formal alliance between the Chidi people and the Northwest on the agenda. This time Kalong did not arrive alone. There were several officers from the Chidi army who came here to discuss the specific tactical arrangements for the joint combat against the Luobei people in order to give the Luobei people the heaviest blow and completely lose the foundation for dominating the Tenggeri grassland. The last experience gave Kalong a deep impression, so after the arrival of this mission, Kalong immediately asked the Northwest government to arrange personnel from relevant parties to visit various workshops and workshops and markets in the northwest. The military officers asked the Northwest Army to review the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army without exception. They had always had a deep prejudice against the combat effectiveness of these farming national armies. They hoped to use facts to prove that their vision had not deviated.
Wufeng also had his own plans. The situation in the Central Plains has undergone subtle changes again. After several consecutive advocacy, His Majesty the Emperor fell ill again. He has never been to the court again. His power to deal with affairs in the court again fell into the hands of His Highness Ninth, the governor. The news from the imperial capital Guji and An Qier must have had some kind of change in the palace. Many people who were originally in contact could no longer join the joint, or even in the joint, they did not know what happened in Jiujiang deep in the forbidden palace. They only knew that His Majesty the Emperor's bedroom was completely isolated from the world and could not get close to him. The ministers in the court could not see His Majesty the Emperor at a glance. Only His Majesty the Emperor could freely enter and exit His Majesty the Emperor's bedroom. This has aroused many people's suspicion, especially those in the palace who have special relationships with His Majesty the Emperor.
The sharp sense of smell made Wufeng feel the storm before the arrival of the great change. Perhaps it would take not long before the Central Plains to really stir up storms. He could only use the limited short time in front of him to fully solve the problems that plague him behind him. He laid a solid foundation for the upcoming Central Plains War. The primary problem is of course to solve the great heart disease of Luo Beiren. Time is limited, and Wufeng doesn't want to delay any further. Maybe it's time to make a phased end.
It is also a good choice to form an alliance with the Chidi people. Although they also have other ideas, at least one thing is that they are consistent with each other, that is, they need to attack Luo Beiren in the military. As for the extent of the blow to Luo Beiren, although Wufeng knew that the Northwest did not want Luo Bei to decline excessively, on the surface, he was also indignant and expressed his intention to completely eliminate Luo Beiren and give the Northwest a stable and peaceful rear, which made the Chidi people very excited.
After discussing the preliminary terms of how to divide the interests after defeating Luobeiren, the Chidi mission did not stop for a long time and immediately set off to return to the Xitengri grassland. Of course, the military officer representatives of the Military Observation Group stayed in Qingyang, and they would participate in the final battle against Luobeiren as observers of allies.
The atmosphere of the entire northwest was gradually guided to the track of war by the weak. The Northwest Star and the North Luzon Express played the role of government mouthpieces. Through the technical and artistic treatment, the unequal treatment encountered by Northwest merchants in the Luobei territory on the Tengger Grassland was disclosed from time to time. This situation, which was originally seen everywhere, seemed to fall on the Luobei people's heads, but it seemed that the Northwest merchants' deep grievances. The self-confidence gradually established by the Northwest people began to expand, and their sensitivity to reports in this area was increasing day by day.
Local news media like the Northwest Star has steadily expanded its influence. When areas without front-line jurisdiction have expanded significantly, its radiation influence has spread rapidly around at a speed no less than that. At least in Xikang, Lulong, Longdong and Tianshui, its influence has steadily caught up with mainstream imperial media like the Empire News and Daily News.
The military headquarters and government have accelerated the preparations for the war. The huge bureaucratic system has quickly started to operate, and the huge footsteps have sounded loudly, making the surrounding neighbors feel that the giant in the northwest is already showing off his strength. Except for the First Division, the First Division, which is still stationed in Tianshui, the Second Division, which is left in Longdong for emergency response, the other three divisions were quietly transferred back to Qingyang, while the four divisions of the Northern Luzon Legion returned as early as the third division of the First Division, the First Division, which was already in the First Division, the three divisions of the Third Division, were transferred back to Qingyang.
Before returning to Qingyang, he had already set off to Wusun and had a rapid march with the joint army of the Western Regions from Kuche Kingdom across the entire Western Regions to Gaochang for joint military exercises. The Nanjielok Legion also began to make adjustments and each returned to his position. The two divisions stationed in Yinchuan finally drove out of the city and the two divisions of Taixuan Prefecture in the east to conduct the first large-scale joint military exercise outside Jiayuguan, which made Commander Kaman, who was stationed in Jiayuguan, shocked and angry. When would the people in the northwest dare to show off their military power in front of them?
The envoys of the diplomatic department were probably the busiest during this period. As representatives of various forces stationed in Qingyang, it is difficult to hide such large-scale actions as Northwest without hiding them. Investigating the intentions of the Northwest is naturally the top priority of their tasks.
At this time, spies and spies from the intelligence department were already spread throughout the Dongtenggeri grassland. Intelligence from all walks of life was constantly summed up like flowing water, from geographical and geomorphological characteristics to the distribution of rivers, from climate change to vegetation, from herders' distribution to migration directions, and input to the Northwest Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Bureau as quickly as possible through different channels. The heads of these two departments naturally knew that everything was to obey and serve the overall situation, and the overall situation in front of them was to make all preparations for the war.
These actions in the northwest can only be hidden from the Northwest General Beisang, who has always kept his eyes on the East General of Luobei, who has always kept his eyes on Qingyang. From the rapid increase in the number of spies from the Tanghe people on the Tenggeri Grassland and the unusually active activities, he could clearly feel the strong fighting spirit emitted by this neighbor from the east. In fact, since the failure of the Mott coup, Besang had already developed this awareness. Li Wufeng would not let this excuse go easily. Even if there was no excuse, he would also look for excuses. He had touched his pain. He would not tolerate himself interfering in his expansion on the East Tenggeri Grassland. For his side, his actions had already reached the status and interests of the Luobei people on the Tenggeri Grassland and the Central Continent. Especially after the Western Regions countries were taken into account by Li Wufeng, they lost the annual tribute of the Western Regions countries, which made the Luobei nobles feel the pain as much as the skin. This contradiction seems to be irreconcilable.
The night is deep, and the grassland on summer nights seems so quiet and beautiful. The chirping of unknown insects seems to be there or not. The breeze blows on my face, and it seems that you can smell the fragrant grass fragrance from the depths of the grassland. Besan stood in front of the window with his hands on his back, quietly looking up at the night sky. The stars are everywhere in the sky, and a meteor suddenly crosses the sky, pulling out a bright long shadow. Besan couldn't help but tremble. According to the people of Tanghe, this is a sign of the main evil, indicating that the war disaster is coming. Is this battle really inevitable?
If it is really unavoidable, then the expedition to the east requires mobilization and preparations to be prepared earlier. However, the letter from Barona's own friend is still on the desk, and the light letter is like a big stone pressing heavily on Besan's heart.
The words of admonition in the letter still echoed in his ears. Besan seemed to use the bright and confident eyes to see his friends, but the words in this letter were full of worries. Even Besan could smell the various conspiracy behind it. In the golden tent, the dark and deep eyes on the fat face of the chief seemed to be clear and sometimes blurred in Besan's mind. The heart of an unjust? Expand personal power? This is the consequence of increasing the primary mobilization of the standing army. Besan naturally knew that there were many people behind this and that there were no people who were messing with right and wrong, and more people would only add to the insult. They never remember who was carrying on the guard task of this frontier.
Will the war mobilization at this time make the chief suspicious? Once a simple military operation involves internal political trends, it will cause many indescribable things. Besan has always been reluctant to wrap himself in, but many things are often not subject to human will. If you want to get out of the matter, it is just his simple wishful thinking.
With a long sigh, Besan returned to the desk, thought for a while, picked up his pen and wrote a calligraphy. He could not wait passively again. Although Northwest has not yet performed provocative behavior, he could feel the murderous aura coming to his face. Besan is not a passive defense person. Instead of doing this, it is better to make all preparations first. If the enemy does not move, I do not move. Once the enemy moves, I do first. This battlefield motto will never be outdated. Of course, before this, you must first obtain the understanding of the chief in Barona. Besan does not want to be tied to things from the rear when fighting.
With a wave of his hand, Besan did not delay, "Come!"
"Master, what are your instructions?"
