The fierce offensive and defense of the Sanjiang East Line did not seem to affect the calmness of the Western Line. Although on the west side of the border line, the generals of the Northwest Army were so anxious that they smoked and wished they could cross the border and make an arrangement immediately, it seemed that the Lin army did not buy it.

Wu Feng, who had visited the front line of the Pearl River, stared blankly at the far east. It seemed that Lin Guoxiong, an old man, would rather let the Maqikan take advantage than let him succeed. Whether one of his side wrote a letter or went to the envoy to negotiate, the Sanjiang army stationed in Qindu and Anshun prefectures all refused his kindness, and instead warned himself not to cross the border half a step, otherwise it would lead to the outbreak of war between the two families.

Thinking of this, Wufeng couldn't help but sneer through his teeth. These idiots who were ignorant of the world really thought they were the pride of heaven. If they hadn't seen the fertile land and special functions of Sanjiang and Lin Yuexin's part, even if the Lin family died in front of him, they would not have any pity or any help. But this was just an angry word. If the Lin family was really finished, they would have to use heavy troops to guard the eastern part of Tiannan and Lujiang Prefecture. Such a strategic situation would be too unfavorable to him.

The weather in the south in midsummer seemed a bit stuffy. Although it was under a parasol, Wufeng's whole body was still soaked in sweat. This stuffy and humid climate was really a torture for Wufeng, who was already accustomed to the dry and cool environment in the northwest. However, when you think about the army prepared on the front line, Wufeng's heart seemed to have dissipated a lot. If the Lin family insisted on refusing to cooperate, should he force himself to enter? This question has always been entangled in Wufeng's heart.

Judging from the information obtained by the intelligence department, the Maqi Khans attacked the Lin family territory in two groups, one of which was mainly attacking Sanjiang County, and the other was North Ronesia. The Maqi Khans who invaded North Ronesia were divided into two groups, one from the southern part of Yuejing to cross the Gaoligong Mountain, and the other from South Ronesia to the north. It seems that the Maqi Khans have not been idle in the past two years. The natural danger of Gaoligong Mountain has been conquered by the Maqi Khans' manpower. Otherwise, the Maqi Khans would not be able to transfer the army into the North Ronesia's waist and ribs in a short period of time. Such a clamp-shaped attack was obviously to swallow the main forces of the three divisions of the Lin family in one bite. If Lin Guoxiong was smart, he should make a decision immediately. The Maqi Khans are no longer able to compete with the Lin family. Of course, with their own Northwest Army, there is an exception. Unfortunately, this old dog seems to have not yet been enlightened. Li Wufeng thought angrily.

The Maqi Khan is also vicious enough, and Lei Juetian's move is indeed extremely clever. Just such a small trick can prevent the troops of his three divisions from crossing the line. Sometimes such means can indeed play an unexpected role. With this, it can also be seen that the Maqi Khan's infiltration into the Sanjiang intelligence department has been quite deep. He can actually compile a military plan to conspire with him to divide the Sanjiang River and stuff it into the mole hand of the Lin family.

In the middle, the silver fox secret spy from the Lin family actually bought it for a large price through a secret channel. This sounds unbelievable, but the Lin family's father and son believed it without doubt. What is old and confused? This is probably a true portrayal of the Lin family's father and son. Wufeng has cursed the Lin family's father and son in his heart for hundreds of times. Even the handwritten letter from Xue Ge sent back from Zhongdao did not play an unexpected role. Wufeng could not sigh to the sky and sigh that the sky did not help me.

Did he really watch the Maqi Khan's conspiracy succeed? Or would he use the unfinished naval army to attack Baling? Wufeng shook his head and denied his idea. The navy was not yet mature, and Wufeng did not want to be exposed too early. Moreover, the Maqi Khan's defense in Baling was already quite stable. Even if he could enter Baling, if the Maqi Khan in Baling City was determined to defend to the death, if he wanted to break Baling City, he would be afraid that it would be difficult to succeed without more than three divisions and would have to pay a heavy price. If he could not attack Baling City, then it would be meaningless to enter Baling. Once the Sanjiang War of the Maqi Khan was over, he would be in trouble in Baling. This would be of no value.

Taking a deep breath, Wufeng temporarily put aside all his thoughts and continued to inspect the front line with steady steps. The position of commander of the Third Division was replaced by Yamao, the deputy recommended by Mulige. A taciturn but smart and calm mountain man, who was following Wufeng closely behind, inspecting the garrison position of the Third Division of the Northwest Legion.

"Shanyao, what do you think you should do now? We will fight directly with the Lin family or be stationed here?" While observing the defense situation, Wufeng asked casually. Liang Chongxin had already gone to Qinzhou in the south. Once the Maqi Khan broke through the Yushan Prefecture in the southeast of the Sanjiang River, the next step is likely to target Anshun. Once Beironesia is lost, the two Maqi Khan army will encircle Anshun. There is no obstacle between Anshun and Qinzhou. The situation is more dangerous than the Qindu Prefecture opposite, so Liang Chongxin and Mulige go to take charge in person.

"Sir, my subordinates think that these two choices are not good. The Lin family is now deeply intimate with us. There is still a regular division garrison in the Qindu Prefecture City. Moreover, the fortifications of the Qindu Prefecture are not bad. It is probably difficult for us to force it to seize it, and it will be cheaper for the Maqi Khan. But we just set up defense here. Once the Maqi Khan really seizes the Qindu Prefecture, with the cavalry power they have, I am afraid that we will find it difficult to defend here. It is better to retreat to the Zhujiang Prefecture City to defend, so that we will take the initiative." As a general from the Shanyue clan, it is their characteristic that he speaks out loud, and Shan Yao is no exception. Even in front of the head coach, he doesn't want to be afraid of anything.

Wufeng's heart moved. It seemed that the newly promoted general did not agree with stationing on this border, especially after the Lin family had closed the gates of joint defense.

"But Shanyao, have you considered that if we all retreated to the Zhujiang River and Qinzhou Prefecture City, the eastern part of these two prefectures and even the entire two prefectures will be taken away by the Maqi Khan this season. The grain harvest was bad this year, and although Tiannan was also affected by disasters, compared to the central and northern parts of the empire, there was undoubtedly a bumper harvest here. Perhaps the Maqi Khan wanted us to do this, and they also needed food. But we cannot destroy these crops, and the local people will only hate us." Wufeng shook his head slowly. As the military and political commander, his eyes on the problem cannot only start from a military perspective.

Shan Yao was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this aspect. After thinking for a long time, the mountain man raised his head and said, "Sir, then I can't just wait passively. The Lin family disagrees with us to enter the country for defense, so they are naturally doubtful about us. Then we provide them with necessary defensive weapons and supplies. I think they will never refuse, such as catapults, crossbows, bows and arrows, and tung oil. These things are necessary for city defense. As long as the Lin family's defense in Qindu and Anshun can strengthen the defense ability of Tiannan, it will indirectly help us improve Tiannan's defense. Even if the Maqi Khan really conquers the two palaces, their strength will be consumed one more point."

Wufeng couldn't help laughing: "Shan Yao, I'm wondering if you are a spy sent by the Lin family. Do you know how expensive these things are? If I give these things to the Lin family for free, Xiao Tang wouldn't be able to scold me, a prodigal son, from behind."

Wufeng said that, long-range strike weapons such as catapults and crossbows consume thousands of gold coins for each manufacturing vehicle, and they also require considerable accessories to prevent wear and tear. The crossbow arrows required for crossbows are even larger. Otherwise, once there are no crossbow arrows, crossbows will become decorations. Even things like tung oil are prohibited from being circulated at will, and the price is not expensive.

Shan Yao scratched his head embarrassedly, opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak, but Wufeng changed the subject: "However, this time I am going to adopt your suggestion. The existence of the Lin family is very important to us. At least it can share a lot of pressure for us. Although he judges a gentleman with a villain's heart, I don't plan to have a general understanding of them. As long as it is beneficial to attack the Maqikhans, I support it."

When Wufeng asked the Tiannan Prefectures to immediately and urgently call on various long-range weapons and important materials from the treasurys in various places to support the Lin family, Liang Chongxin, with Mulige and Wenna, had quietly disguised himself into the hinterland of Anshun Prefecture.

As the war in the east and the war in the south broke out at the same time, the situation in Anshun Mansion suddenly became tense. Everyone knew that whether it was the fall of North Ronesia or the fall of Yushan Mansion, the enemy's next target would naturally aim at the ancient city on the plains of the horse. The city had martial law and a curfew was imposed, and all the garrisons were withdrawn back to the city to strengthen their combat preparations. There were fewer business trips on the road than usual. When Liang Chongxin and his party arrived at the southern border of Anshun Mansion, they did not encounter a team of Sanjiang soldiers.

After some investigation, the three of them agreed that there was no danger to defend the entire Anshun territory to the Qinzhou Prefecture City. The endless rice waves were golden in the breeze. This was originally a joyful scene, but in the eyes of the three, they seemed to see the Maqi Khan's zebra light cavalry and wildebeest heavy cavalry galloping on this land with their mighty power. Either retreat to Qinzhou Prefecture City or defend Anshun according to the danger, this is the unanimous conclusion drawn by the three of them after field investigation. If they wanted to face the Maqi Khan with the advantage of powerful cavalry in the field between them, even if they had Gaoyue heavy infantry, in such a large-scale battle, the light cavalry alone would be enough to drag down tens or 20,000 heavy infantry.
