Section 41 Appetite
In fact, when Liang Chongxin received the order to prepare for the Wufeng War, Liang Chongxin had already prepared for the war first. After learning that the commander had the idea of capturing Bashan, Liang Chongxin thought further. Since he had gathered such a huge military force in Guanxi and the commander had completely authorized him, there was no need to limit his attention to Bashan and Hanzhong. Lujiang could also be included in his attack range, especially after learning that Hanzhong would hand him back to Situ Jun, Liang Chongxin's desire to fight was even stronger.
The two sets of intelligence systems have been fully operational, especially after the Gu family's connections were fully launched, there was actually no suspense in the Battle of Bashan. The Lang family's garrison in Bashan was only one division of the Second Army in Tiannan, a short-term security division, and some reserve troops that had just come from Tiannan. Long before that, the security division had been infiltrated by the Gu family. As long as the northwest army crossed Kunlun Pass and invaded south, Liang Chongxin was absolutely sure to solve the Bashan problem within two days. The problem lies in Lujiang. According to intelligence, Lujiang does not
But there are as many as 70,000 to 80,000 troops. Although a division was drawn to Hanzhong, there are still 50,000 to 60,000 troops. The Cuiping Pass has already been stationed in the Tiannan Army. It is not easy to conquer it easily. However, once a strong attack is formed, it will give the enemy of Lujiang to prepare time, and the possibility of conquering Lujiang in a short time will be vain. Moreover, the Northwest Navy has no combat power at all and no fleet is available. It is not realistic to use the advantages of water on the water route to attack Lujiang. It seems that this battle must be carefully calculated and put some thought into it.
After studying the information for a long time, Liang Chongxin still failed to make up his mind whether to conquer Bashan immediately or to attack Lujiang and Bashan in two groups. The army of more than 100,000 people had set off from Xikang Prefecture City and had no time to drag it down any further. However, the last information made him quite interested. The first and second divisions of the First Army, the First and Second Divisions of the First and Second Divisions of the First and Second Divisions of the Tiannan Army set off west from Lujiang, and the direction was unknown. Didn’t these two divisions suffer severe damage when attacking Cuiping Pass? Why did they suddenly advance westward? Could it be that they were returning to Tiannan? This was too hasty?
"Sir, how did you think we could get to Bashan from Tiannan?" Qu Bo also discovered the clues and asked with some insight.
"Qu Bo, what you mean is that the enemy also noticed an abnormality and was ready to strengthen Bashan's defense, so these two divisions were drawn from Lujiang to strengthen Bashan's defense, and even transferred from Tiannan to reserve troops to directly supplement these two divisions in Bashan?" Liang Chongxin's frown gradually relaxed. Only this reason could explain it. This is an opportunity. If these two incomplete divisions were supplemented by those reserve soldiers, they were afraid that the combat power would be almost half immediately. These were the two elite main divisions of the First Legion of Tiannan.
"It seems that Lord Li really failed as a human being. He just signed a contract here and the Moji was not drying up. The people of Tiannan were strengthening the defense of Bashan. Isn't this obviously distrustful people? It was too failed, it was really too failed." It was naturally Sha Lang, the leader of the Second Division, who had been sitting aside and spoke nonsense. He had not yet waited for the order, and was already so angry that he was sitting on pins and needles. He simply twisted Qu Bo and came to the commander-in-chief's office and refused to leave, and insisted on getting a clear message.
Liang Chongxin ignored the other party and took the information from Lujiang from his secretary. The time showed that it was an emergency military information sent from Lujiang twenty-four hours ago. So now these two divisions should have not yet reached the Bashan territory. And if there are any changes in this day, it is difficult for these two divisions to obtain in time. Isn’t it an excellent opportunity?
As his eyes lit up, an extremely bold plan suddenly jumped into Liang Chongxin's mind, and his mind started to work quickly. While instructing the beautiful female secretary to quickly bring the detailed map of Bashan Mansion and carefully ponder it, Qu Bo and Sha Lang stepped forward, and the rest left.
From Lujiang to Bashan is a continuous low hilly area. The not-high Longmen Mountain Range runs east-west and east along the eastern part of Bashan Prefecture, dragging intermittently to the middle of Lujiang Prefecture. Cuiping Pass is the most important barrier at the end of Longmen Mountain. Surrounding the Longmen Mountain Range are some low-rise mountain buns. Because they have no reputation, a series of local names such as Mantou Mountain, Jigong Mountain, and Qingquan Mountain are randomly named on these hills.
There is still a wide valley between the hills, becoming a relatively important grain-producing area in this area, while the slope is the growth site of tea and green sumac trees. The road from Lujiang to Bashan winds west along the foothills of Longmen Mountain, and enters a hundred miles of Bashan before entering the so-called Bazi area. This is actually the alluvial area along the Lujiang River. The flat land is not wide, but compared to the valleys in the junction of the two prefectures, it is not known where it is flat.
Because there are waterways between Lujiang and Bashan, but because it is the season of the rising autumn water, the water flows in many rivers become extremely fast. It is natural to go smoothly from Bashan to Lujiang. However, it is difficult to go upstream from Lujiang. In many places, even boaters have difficulty pulling fibers. Therefore, in autumn, the land transportation from Lujiang to Bashan is much busier than in other seasons.
A long ochre-brown dragon slowly moved forward along the foothills of Longmen Mountain. This road was winding and tangled, not spacious and smooth. Usually, it was because of waterways that were responsible for transportation. It was even more difficult to travel in autumn. The team had been walking along the foothills of Longmen Mountain for three days. It was about to walk out of the mountainous area and enter the dam area where the road was wide and the sky was open. This also made the sergeants who had been marching in the mountainous area finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Lin, you're out of the mountain pass ahead. The brothers are already quite tired. If you don't leave the mountain pass, you'll rest in the dam for a while?" From the clothes of the two, you can know that these two are not ordinary officers. The person who asked about the question had a tough look, thick eyebrows and black face, and a thick lips showed a mouthful of white teeth. The tall and magnificent figure looked even more majestic on the back of the horse, but he was quite polite in his words. Obviously, those who were walking with him were not simple people.
After hesitating, the other officer on the riding was a middle-aged man, wrapped in light armor, covered with a blue-gray cloak, and his thin cheeks were very yellow, but his eyes were bright and bright. The man looked around and saw that he still maintained his marching shape, but his speed gradually slowed down. After all, he marched continuously in the mountains, and he didn't get much time to rest after the fierce battle. At the command of the uphill peak, he rushed from Lujiang to Bashan. Although his men had no complaints, he had to consider the feelings of the people below.
"Well, I'm out of the mountain. After coming out, I choose a flat place to rest for an hour. I also send a whistle to inform Bashan that we will arrive one day." The middle-aged man reluctantly agreed to the other party's suggestion. According to his opinion, it was justified to continue the march and wait for a rest and play in the Zhendian. However, the other party was at the same level as him, and his men were indeed exhausted. In addition, this was still the central area of the control area. I believe that there were no unopposed bandits who dared to stroke the tiger's beard.
"Brother Lin is too cautious. It's more than a hundred miles away from Bashan Prefecture. Everything is normal when we set out from Lujiang. I don't understand that Li Wufeng dares to destroy his promises and offend me. Even if there is a change, will there be no soldiers and soldiers in Bashan Prefecture come to report?" The tough officer laughed to the sky and said loudly: "I don't believe that the Northwest Army is a Kalachakus, and it's not the same as us. If I have the chance, I want to have a good time with them to see if they are their blade fast or our halberd spear head!"
The middle-aged officer felt a little disdainful. After so many years, this guy was still so arrogant. Although he had some capital in his hands, there were not many people in Tiannan who dared to speak like this. He did not appreciate this person, but this person was deeply appreciated by the governor. If Li Wufeng was so careless, he would have been torn to pieces by the powerful northern countries and nomadic peoples. Just because of him, he would also challenge Li Wufeng? I am afraid that this would never be considered in his life.
However, this person's words just now make sense. Even if the Bashan Mansion has poor defense capabilities, Li Wufeng's army is really going south, but I'm afraid he can resist it for a day or two? Even if he can't resist, he can always escape a one-man and half-male report, right? He didn't receive an alarm at this moment. I believe that at least the northwest has not invaded Bashan yet. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man felt a little relieved. As long as he could arrive at Bashan, supplement the soldiers and promote some veterans to serve as low-level officers, his first division could be restored to most of his strength.
Although his first division and the second division next to him suffered a considerable loss in the Lujiang battle, the result was the greatest. Taking the Cuiping Pass was equivalent to taking half of Lujiang. This was a hard bone that he had been chewed with his division and the Second Division. Even the Jiedushi sent a letter of commendation in person. It seemed that the news that he would be promoted to the chief of staff of the army this time was not groundless. A series of random thoughts kept churning in the minds of the middle-aged man, so that the speed of the strong horse under his crotch slowed down and never noticed it.
The long dragon swam out of the mountainous area quickly, and the extremely wide sky appeared in front of the soldiers. Finally, it walked out of the hateful mountainous area. There were too many lees and poisonous mosquitoes there that made the soldiers suffer. Although they were prepared for it, many people still did not expect that these gadgets in this mountainous area were so rampant.
