Chapter 40
But Fielding immediately noticed the deviation of his thoughts. Although Taixuan Mansion is the most vulnerable to the attack of the Kaman people, the Taixuan Mansion City is the strong walls, and the degree of perfection of the defense system is also second only to the capital Qingyang among the eight northwest mansions. The Kaman people are unlikely to attack Qingyang Mansion City. What is the significance of the Kaman people attacking Taixuan? Show off their strength or retaliate against the attack of the Nanteluoke Front Army on them? Miley cannot be such a simple mind, and the Kaman people must have deeper ideas.
What was the purpose of the Kamans mobilizing a large number of troops? Fielding walked in the garden behind the Governor's Mansion and thought hard. The autumn sun was warm and warm on Fielding's body, which was a little fat. Although he worked hard for government affairs since he took office, his body did not look at all. Instead, he had a tendency to become fat, which made Fielding very puzzled.
This garden is the back garden where His Highness the King of Qin's Jiedu Mansion was originally located. Originally, Li Wufeng planned to use this mansion as the capital of the Great Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang, but it was opposed by all government officials, including Xiao Tang. Although the former military and political Jiedu Mansion in the Northwest is not small, as the highest authority of the seven counties in the entire Western Xinjiang, this Jiedu Mansion does seem a little stingy, so even the Director of Government Affairs, Xiao Tang, who has always been frugal in the country, also opposed this suggestion. In the end, the Great Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang chose to build a demolition area in a shanty town covering an area of 30 acres. This action immediately caused a surge in houses and land prices in that civilian area, and also caused construction developers, wealthy gentry and merchants to pursue houses and houses in that area, which also benefited the local poor.
*The fragrance is filled with golden armor, and the intoxicating beauty cannot attract the gaze of the Northwest Governor at this moment. He stared at the clouds in the distance in the sky. Fielding carefully pondered the current intentions of the Kaman people. Bo Jinchen launched a series of offensives in the northern region, which did have great effect. The Kaman people were not only forced to give up the two places of Longquan in the Black Mountains and shrink their defense, but even in Yulin, Qinghe and Pinglu, the three prefectures of Qinghe and Pinglu were struggling. Now, the famine in Kaman will definitely affect the supply of the garrison, otherwise the Kaman South Expedition Army would not send grain to the North Trick, which also shows that there was a problem with the food of the garrison. The food sent to the North Trick was burned into one fell swoop, which would definitely affect the morale and morale of the North Trick garrison. It is even very likely that the North Trick garrison has faced a food shortage, so the purpose of the North Trick army's large-scale mobilization is very suspicious.
However, there is no target worthy of the Kamans in Taixuan Mansion. Through their intelligence departments, the Kamans should know this. Will the Kamans take the risk of taking a bigger step? This seems a bit not very consistent with the military use habits of Miley, the head coach of the Kamans in the North Gerok. However, Zhuge Liang is cautious all his life and dares to play an empty city plan. It is hard to say that Miley will not have an adventure to break through the fixed mindset. Guide and Yinchuan have important grain storage warehouses, but if the Kamans target is food, even if they seize the food, how can they transport them back? But no matter how the enemy transports the food back, the existence of this dangerous possibility has made Fielding feel cold. Once things really develop in the direction they expected, the northwest will be in danger!
Originally, these defense issues should not be asked by his governor who specializes in civil affairs. However, his long-term career in the army made Fielding subconsciously think about this issue. If the Kamans really invaded the northwest on a large scale, the destructive and bad impact would probably be greater than the original Luobei invasion. Especially in the current prosperous situation of the prosperity of the country and the people of the people, this would have a great negative impact on the entire Western Xinjiang Protectorate and His Highness the King of Qin themselves, and even exceeded the gains and losses of food. Thinking about the weakness of the troops in several of his own prefectures, Fielding couldn't help but feel a thin bead of sweat.
This possibility is too great. I must immediately inform Bo Jinchen, who is far away in Beidrok. Now, in addition to Qingyang Prefecture, there is also a 4th Division of the Fifth Army, which was just formed by reserve personnel, which was still in the training stage. Yinchuan Prefecture has only two regiments, and Taixuan Prefecture has only one multi-department. The huge Northwest County has only three divisions, and the forces in the neighboring areas have recently reached 800 miles away. Moreover, if you want to mobilize these forces, the Governor of the Northwest, can command them, without further delay!
But Fielding, who had just taken two steps, stopped again. He hesitated. Should he inform Bo Jinchen of this situation? Bo Jinchen is not familiar with him, he is just a general friend, and his own guesses are not necessarily true. He is just a governor in charge of government affairs. The Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang has already set rules. The army does not interfere in politics, does not care about the army, and does their own way. Except for His Highness the King of Qin himself, no one can take into account military affairs at the same time. Even Xiao Tang, Su Qin and Ling Tianfang are the same. He is quite suspicious of being in the interfering affairs.
After hesitation, Fielding decided that it was necessary to inform Bo Jinchen of his opinion. He could not control what the other party should do, but he had to fulfill his responsibilities as the governor of the Northwest. Even if there were some gossip, he could not control so much. And he also needed to prepare immediately. Caizhai war grain warehouse in the northern suburbs of Qingyang City is second only to the Hanzhong Reserve Bank of the entire Western Xinjiang region. It has accumulated tens of millions of burrows of grain. Now it is transporting two millions of burrows to the Yinchuan Grain Depot for grain. In addition to the two million burrows of grain that are being transported, there are still up to eight million burrows of grain there. And Yinchuan Grain Depot also has one million burrows of grain being transported to the Sithro. If the Kamans really come, it will cause little damage. The Kamans will relieve their own logistical pressure, which will be even more serious.
In fact, before receiving the urgent report from Fielding, Bo Jinchen had already realized the seriousness of the problem. The Kamans seemed to have given up fighting with their own side in Yulin, Qinghe and other places, and instead suffered a key defense. They withdrew five 10,000 troops from Heishan and Longquan in one breath, completely abandoned Heishan and Longquan, and visited Qinghe and Yulin again. Every time they were dispatched, large-scale cavalry and infantry forces were mixed, and their several attacks could no longer be as easy as the early stage. The large-scale movement of cavalry toward the North made Bo Jinchen even more suspicious. Miley was in the North.
The excuse of the terrok recruiting transport vehicles was also a bit far-fetched. Although the transport vehicles in Yulin and Qinghe were indeed destroyed by the Western Xinjiang army, if they were to be recruited, they could still be recruited. Why should they travel thousands of miles to recruit from Beidrok? Moreover, the intelligence personnel in Beidrok responded that the recruited vehicles were carefully repaired and maintained, and it was obvious that they were required to carry out long-distance transportation, which was also somewhat different from the behavior of the vehicles recruited by the Kamans in Qinghe and other places. These details made Bo Jinchen, who was in charge of such a great war for the first time, feel suspicious.
The goal clearly pointed to the northwest. Nanteluoke had no food to grab, so it could only be the governments of the northwest county. Like Fielding's judgment, Bo Jinchen also suspected that the prey of the Kaman people was the grain reserve warehouse of Yinchuan and Qingyang. Especially now, it is the critical time to transport food to the Sisro people. Not only are there a large number of carriages in the northwest gathered in Qingyang and Yinchuan to provide convenience for the Kaman people, but Qingyang and Yinchuan did not have much troops to defend. If you come to such a move, you can really make the world happen.
When the intelligence department transferred the information, although Bo Jinchen did not know what method the Kamans could use to avoid his own interception and transport the food back to Beitelok, he still ordered the Rangers active in Yulin to return quickly, and in the shortest time he sent Li Wufeng, who was far away in Myanmar, to ask for the Third Rangers transferred in Xikang and the Second Rangers of Ulanji to quickly reinforce Qingyang and complete the interception of the Kamans in the shortest time, if the Kamans really dared to raid Qingyang and Yinchuan.
However, almost everyone despised the powerful mobilization ability of the Kamans and the courage that broke out in difficulties. Faced with the danger of being out of food, even if there was a tiger's den in front of them, they had to make a breakthrough. Instead of sitting in Beidroc, they might as well take a risk. After Miley informed this intention to Nick who was far away in Qinghe, Nick immediately expressed his full support, and even gave up the long-term preparation to use large-scale grain transportation as bait to attract the Western Xinjiang army to finally complete the battle preparations for the conquering of the troops he had. Three 10,000 cavalry teams were drawn from the army he had mastered to rush to assist Beidroc in the first time. The absolute trust of the two also laid the foundation for the Kamans' raid on Qingyang, Yinchuan.
When the Northwest Information learned that the Kaman cavalry in the North Terroc area was urgently informed to the relevant parties in Xijiang, Miley had actually completed the pre-war preparations for the entire raid battle. Forty thousand cavalry, together with a large number of mules, horses and servants were already preparing to stop the armor and horses. All heavy cavalry would remove their armor and horse armor and discard all excess equipment to ensure that they could move quickly and lightly. While Bo Jinchen was still waiting for the orders of His Royal Highness of the Qin King to reach the Third Ranger Regiment in Xikang, Baron Ferdinand had already led 40,000 cavalry and a large number of chariots and horses to gallop along the southern foot of the Zagros Mountains.
