Section forty-ninth

Just when the Tiannan Army placed all hope on the Lin family, the former rival, the Northwest Army, which had already been ready to go, no longer gave the Tiannan Army any time or opportunity. On the night of May 28, 698, the mainland Gregorian calendar, 100,000 Northwest Army divided into two groups, and launched the Tiannan Army with a force of unstoppable force. The Eastern Front was led by 20,000 Mot Cavalry. The First Division of the Northwest Army followed closely. With the help of the secret line of the intelligence department, it quickly broke through several defense lines and entered the northern part of the Zhujiang Prefecture. The Western Front was dominated by the Third Division of the Northwest Army and the First and Second Guard Division. The Shahe tribe in Dandong Prefecture provided a lot of intelligence support and logistical assistance to the Northwest Army. The Gaoyue tribe at the foot of Hengduan Mountain in the west had also been notified and devoted himself to the battlefield supporting the Northwest Army to the south with great enthusiasm.

On May 30, the east and west armies had entered the hinterlands of the Zhujiang River and Dandong prefectures, and defeated the defense line of the Tiannan Second Legion, which had extremely weak resistance. The Tiannan Second Legion, which had almost no combat power, quickly retreated after a small-scale confrontation with the Northwest Army and retreated to the defense points of the two prefectures.

On June 1, the east-west army arrived at the city of the Zhujiang River and Dandong prefectures. The Northwest Army sent a notice to the two prefectures and the entire Tiannan County Jiedushi, urging the Tiannan Army to accept the peace proposal. On the same day, Li Wufeng made a speech to the Northwest Star Newspaper in Bashan Prefecture, demanding that the Tiannan military and civilians give up their fantasies and accept the peace proposal, and demanded that the Tiannan Military and Political Jiedushi and the Governor of Myanmar Lang Yongquan and his major military and political officials automatically step down. After leaving the field, the northwest will ensure the safety of their lives and property of their families.

On the same day, 30,000 nomadic cavalry recruited from the Tenggeri Grassland according to the order arrived at the city of Bashan. The 30,000 cavalry were recruited from Mot and Tubu as quickly as possible after receiving the order from Li Wufeng. The 30,000 cavalry went to the aid for thousands of miles. After arriving at Bashan, they went south at night without any rest and joined the Tiannan battlefield. Li Wufeng's private name 20,000 barbarian soldiers borrowed from the Baiyin barbarians also rushed south along the eastern border area of ​​the Tenggeri Grassland. The vanguard had already arrived at Mangye Town, Qingyang Prefecture, and two thousand military transport vehicles had already arrived at Mangye Town under the arrangement of the combat readiness platform to wait for loading. Once Baiyin soldiers arrived at Qi, they would load them on day and night.

Zhujiang Prefecture is an important place in the northeast of Tiannan County. It is not only adjacent to Bashan Lujiang, but also adjacent to Sanjiang County in the east. Zhujiang Prefecture is also the flattest prefecture in Tiannan County. It has fertile land, abundant water and heat, and has developed irrigation. It is also a key grain production area in Tiannan County. It also plays an important role in the entire Tiannan County. Qi Feng is also an old man in Tiannan County. From an ordinary official to a deputy director to a director, and then to the city guard, he has worked under the Lang family for nearly twenty years. Since the Lin Lang family's competition for hegemony, he has witnessed the rise and fall of the Lang family, but he has never been so desperate.

The city guard's mansion was filled with sorrow and mist. Qi Feng, who had a dull face, sat in a daze in a daze in the lobby of the city guard's mansion. The two officers next to him were also gray and listless. Several government officials were sitting at the bottom. They were all curled up in chairs with their necks curled up in their chairs. The situation was already known to everyone, and no one knew how long the Zhujiang Mansion could last.

"Two, do you have any plans? Do you mean it? Now we are all grasshoppers tied to a rope. You can't run away or you can't run away. If you have any good ideas, please discuss them." The depressing atmosphere made everyone present look very depressed. Facing the northwest army facing the city, to be honest, everyone had no better way. After a long stalemate, Qi Feng, who was the city guard, mentioned the topic.

"Mr. Qi, what do you want us to say? Neither outsiders, nor do we want to cover up anything. Although we have two divisions under our command, these two divisions cannot be the same as the previous Second Legion. If they were two divisions of the previous Second Legion, we would not be afraid even if the Northwest Army had twice as many more. But now, alas, most of our two divisions are newly added, and there is not much formal training, let alone such a big formation. Looking at their previous performance, we are not sure about the collapse of one touch." One of the officers sighed, exchanged glances with his companions before saying sadly.

"Yes, Lord Qi, the Northwest Army is very powerful, and they are definitely not just targeting our Zhujiang Prefecture. I think Dandong Prefecture will probably be within the attack range. To block the Northwest Army's pace, with our current strength, it is too difficult for both the Zhujiang or Dandong." Another officer also echoed.

"Since you two, is our Zhujiang Mansion no longer able to resist?" Qi Feng asked in the eyes of the other party. He had already heard the implicit meaning of the other party. In the statement released by Li Wufeng, he stated that he would protect and protect the lives and property of the officials who surrendered or stepped down from the field and their relatives, especially in the face of public announcements to prove his sincerity. Such conditions are quite tempting to many people, especially when the situation in Tiannan is in danger.

"Mr. Qi, it's not that we are venting everyone's anger. With our existing strength, there may be no big problem to resist for three or two days, but it will definitely not exceed five days. Now the morale of our soldiers is very low. The defeated soldiers fled two days ago, which will hit the morale of the soldiers even more severely. In addition, the Northwest Army has become the nemesis of our Tiannan Army in the Battle of Kansai. In this way, we have no chance of winning if we have these new recruits directly facing the Northwest Army, which has been through many battles." The officer who answered first looked serious, obviously not saying lies.

"Sir, what the two generals said makes sense. Although we have asked Nanfeng Prefecture for help, everyone knows that the Myanmar land has wiped out all the main forces of our Tiannan Army to Myanmar land. Now Nanfeng does not have much mobile force. If Dandong suffers the same attack as us, I am afraid that Nanfeng will not send reinforcements at all. They may have decided to give up our Zhujiang Prefecture and Dandong Prefecture, exchange space for time, and let us hold the Northwest Army to win time for them." In this case, the person who can speak like this was naturally Qi Feng's confidant Interior Director.

"Willingly, how could Lord Lang do such a thing?" Qi Feng changed his color and angrily scolded his subordinates.

"Mr. Qi, I think we don't have to be afraid of anything. In fact, you and I all understand that now that Tiannan has come to this point, I am afraid there is no hope. It is not that we are not loyal to Lord Lang, but that the current situation forces us to make a choice earlier. The more we drag it, the more unfavorable it will be for us. I believe everyone here understands this." The officer was still the one with his mouth slightly raised and he looked at Lord Chengshou with a smile.

Qi Feng fell into deep thought again. The situation in Nanfeng was as said just now, as the people said, the Jiedushi Mansion was in chaos and could not come up with effective defense measures and means at all. At present, if you want to survive this matter safely, you can only rely on yourself. Fortunately, your family is considered to be a savings. Even if you don’t guard this city, An Anyiyi has been a rich man.

On June 2, the mainland Gregorian calendar, the commander of the second division of the Zhujiang Prefecture City in Tiannan County, Qifeng, and the commander of the second division of the 1st and 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Army stationed in Dandong City. On June 3, the Shahe tribes in Dandong City jointly launched a riot, demanding that Dandong accept the order of the northwest, Kaicheng welcome the northwest army into the city, and soon evolved into a huge rebellion. The two divisions of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Army stationed in Dandong City

The heart was distracted and the command was weak, so he could not control the social security situation in the city at all. The security forces even supported each other with the rioters and created chaos everywhere in the city. Soon the situation in the Dandong city lost control. In desperation, McPherson, the guard of Dandong city, left the city on the night of June 4 after discussing with the acting commander of the Tiannan Second Corps, and invited the Northwest Army to enter the city. On the morning of June 5, he announced that he would step down from the northwest Star Newspaper, a reporter from the Northwest Star Newspaper who came with the army, and at the same time announced that the management of the Dandong City Prefecture would be handed over to the Northwest Military Control Commission.

On June 4, Lang Yongquan, the military and political governor of Tiannan and the governor of Northern Luzon, immediately held an emergency meeting for the whole county after learning that the Lin family refused to send troops to help on the grounds that the Maqi Khan threatened Sanjiang's county and the situation of the Zhujiang and Dandong prefectures. The meeting lasted until the evening.

After the meeting, Lang Yongquan resigned himself as the military and political governor of Tiannan and the Governor of Myanmar and announced his resignation. Before leaving the country, Lang Yongquan issued the last order in the name of the military and political governor of Tiannan and the Governor of Myanmar, which was ordered to cease fire in various places, including the First and Third Corps of Tiannan, which were fighting in Myanmar, to wait for reorganization. Local governments continued to exercise normal powers before transferring power until the Northwest military officers accepted management rights. At the same time, on June 5, the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar National Independence Army, Winner, also announced a ceasefire and canceled the previous request for independence of Myanmar, saying that Myanmar would always obey the jurisdiction and management of the Tanghe Empire and the Western Xinjiang Protectorate. At this time, almost no one knew that the Western Xinjiang Protectorate was still not approved and recognized by the Central Committee of the Empire.
