Chapter 127: The Game
The atmosphere of the Liping Walled City has been like a tight string these days, up to Xu Fusheng and Wei Zitong, down to the soldiers of each law enforcement team, who have been conducting various training camps day and night to strengthen the defense of the walled city.
Many people did not understand what was happening, except that their respective commanders were constantly urging for various pre-war meetings.
The content of the meeting is nothing more than that there are already people in southern Xinjiang who have colluded with the Shengyuan Dynasty, and as the bravest soldiers, we must hold the city and block the encirclement in the rear for the 60,000 troops on the front line.
As for who betrayed southern Xinjiang, the commanders don't know much, it may be the Qiang people, it may also be the Zhuang people, anyway, if anyone attacks the Liping walled city, who is the enemy of the southern Xinjiang.
The warriors received very little information, and the only orders they could receive were to defend the walled city, regardless of who the enemy was. Although a few recruits will feel that something is wrong, they can't stand the brainwashing of the commanders day and night.
The benefits of strengthening military discipline were manifested at this time, and all orders were thoroughly carried out.
At this time, time was calculated in seconds, and when Xu Fusheng stood on the top floor of the walled city again, he finally found the reconnaissance soldiers of the allied forces of various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang.
His heart sank, even though he knew that this day would come sooner or later, he didn't expect it to come so soon. Obviously, the ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang have already received the news of his betrayal, but they don't know where the news leaked out.
Now there is no point in tracing the source of the news, all he can do is to face the coalition forces of various races, but it will take at least 3 days for the Shengyuan Dynasty to eliminate the Dong warriors in the Yupingtong Gorge, can it be held for 3 days by relying on this walled city?
Xu Fusheng didn't know, if the plan on Fengcheng's side was executed perfectly, it was estimated that the old wizard would buy him a little time.
What can be done now is to rely on the unique geographical location of this walled city to try its best to hold it and wait for the arrival of the army of the Shengyuan Dynasty.
Xu Fusheng beckoned the thirteen who were following him and ordered: "Send someone to investigate the movements of the Southern Xinjiang Coalition Army, and be sure to keep the message flowing." ”
Since the operation of the Nanjiang Money Bank, the transmission of the financial intelligence system has been gradually improved, and the news transmission channel of the Tsing Yiwei has naturally been improved.
By dusk, the reconnaissance cavalry and the Qingyi guards sent by Wei Zitong began to send back news one after another, and the allied forces of various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang were hurrying towards the Liping Walled City, and it was expected that they would be able to reach the vicinity of the Walled City tomorrow afternoon.
On the other side of the Dong people, 20,000 new soldiers who had just completed their outfits also rushed towards the Liping walled city, and the arrival time was expected to be earlier than the allied forces of the various ethnic groups.
The only thing that can still give Xu Fusheng a little hope in these news is that the commander of the Southern Xinjiang Coalition Army is no longer Danmuji and the patriarchs of various tribes, but is under the unified command of Song Wenzhao, leading the alliance forces of various tribes to the direction of the walled city.
As long as the patriarchs of all ethnic groups are not there, there will be a trace of luck in Xu Fusheng.
He has the elites of all ethnic groups in his hands, and if the patriarchs who can make up their minds are not there, these students of the Southern Xinjiang Academy will become shields, after all, no one dares to forcibly strangle the second generation of these ethnic groups at the risk of retribution afterwards.
I don't know when, Wei Zitong also stood on the top floor, and the two of them standing in the wind saw the nervousness in each other's eyes, but it was not the nervousness of fear, but the excitement and uneasiness of gambling.
"I have already asked the soldiers to set fire to the surrounding mountains and forests for a hundred miles, and the coalition forces that are rushing in will definitely not be convenient for carrying large siege equipment for the sake of ease of movement.
We can't stop them from finding wood to make their machines, but we can at least cause them a little bit of trouble. When the time comes, once these fires are burned, the union
The movement of troops will inevitably be affected as well. ”
Wei Zitong's body is getting straighter and straighter, but his eyes are red, and he looks more vicissitudes.
Xu Fusheng nodded, he has a specialization in art, in the face of such a huge art of war, he is a layman, and he can only rely on Wei Zitong's professionalism. Of course, he also believes in Wei Zitong's strategic vision.
He paused and said, "Zitong, thank you!"
Wei Zitong didn't expect Xu Fusheng to respond like this, in his impression. Since coming to Southern Xinjiang, Xu Fusheng has been a hard-hearted superior, and the longer he gets along, the more Wei Zitong will find Xu Fusheng's determination under his wisdom and ruthlessness.
He never expected to say these two words from Xu Fusheng's mouth, and he was stunned and smiled: "Childe is polite, you have your beliefs, and I also have my choice."
Whatever that choice was, I never regretted it, and I wanted to know what had happened. ”
At this time, the two supreme commanders did not have more time to lyricalize, and the two just chatted briefly for a few words, and then went back to their respective affairs.
In the afternoon of the next day, 20,000 Dong warriors took the lead in arriving around the Liping Walled City, and half an hour later, 80,000 southern Xinjiang coalition troops also began to appear one by one.
Song Wenzhao took the leaders of the tribes to observe the Liping Walled City, the current walled city has completely bid farewell to the desolation of the past, each watchtower is full of soldiers in armor, and the watchtower is full of various pits dug around, almost completely isolating the possibility of wanting to enter.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that Song Wenzhao returned to the military tent with the leaders of all ethnic groups, and issued an order to rush to make siege equipment overnight and attack the city early the day after tomorrow.
Late at night, the plastic wind blows strongly, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
Under the cover of night, several figures appeared in the walled city of Liping, and they headed towards the camp of the coalition army.
When they arrived less than a few hundred meters away from the tent, in order not to attract the attention of the coalition night guards, they began to slow down and approach, and they knew that they were all martial arts masters by looking at their skills.
One of the figures flashed like a ghost a few times, and then evaded several rounds of night patrol soldiers, and headed for the Chinese army's tent.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, taking advantage of the change of guard among the soldiers, she struck the tent like a gust of wind.
In the center of the big tent, Song Wenzhao was sitting upright, looking at the man in black who suddenly came in, he was not surprised, as if he expected that someone would come.
"Lin Gongzi came to visit late at night, there must be something important to discuss, why don't you sit down and talk slowly?" Song Wenzhao said unhurriedly.
Lin Huiyu didn't hide it, and said very indifferently: "Our son wants to see you, an hour later, outside the tent of the coalition camp." ”
"God made your lord do such a thing that people and gods are angry about, and dare to appear outside the tent of the coalition camp, isn't he afraid that I will let the army surround you?"
Lin Huiyu shook his head and said: "Our son said, you won't, besides, your head is between our son's thoughts, you should be able to distinguish which is more important." ”
Song Wenzhao was not annoyed, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now, I know that the divine envoy has arrived." ”
Outside the big tent of the coalition army, Song Wenzhao only brought two of his closest retinues, and when he saw Xu Fusheng standing alone not far away, Song Wenzhao waved his hand and stepped forward alone.
The two did not greet each other, and Song Wenzhao said bluntly: "Lord Divine Envoy, my army is already under the city, where do you plan to go?"
Xu Fusheng smiled, and slowly said as if he didn't care: "Song Shuai, you have also seen the current Liping Walled City, I have it."
Faith endures for three days. Now I should ask you, what choice do you plan to make between southern Xinjiang and the Zhuang people?"
Song Wenzhao snorted coldly and said: "You can't hold out for three days, the Dong warriors in the Yupingtong Gorge can eat all the war horses, and I have the time and ability to rush over." ”
Xu Fusheng laughed and said, "I forgot to tell you one thing, the elite children of all the ethnic groups in Southern Xinjiang are in my hands, and I have already asked people to inform the leaders of the various tribes, of course, Kramu is also in the walled city, you should know this."
And again, as long as I think, unless you and the chiefs of the tribes do not let up for a moment these days, my men do not know when they will appear in your tents.
What's more, even if you capture this walled city, it would be good if half of your 80,000 army could be left, relying on these 40,000 people, would you be able to rescue the besieged Dong warriors from Yang Yichen's border army leopard cavalry and the forbidden army Zuo Xiaowei?"
"So!" Xu Fusheng said categorically: "No matter whether I can hold this walled city in the end, the history of Nanjiang Road has come to an end!"
Song Wenzhao was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "It is impossible for the Southern Xinjiang Road to be terminated, even if we let this army enter the Southern Xinjiang, we can still drag them down like 20 years ago."
Once you fall into the mountain and forest wars of all races, what you have done this time will be useless, and the Shengyuan Dynasty will not let you go. You don't think you can rest easy by holding on to this walled city, do you?"
Xu Fusheng smiled: "Of course not, that's why I will appear here to meet you, I hope you can give up attacking the Liping Walled City, if you and Danmuji stand with me, then the situation you said will not appear."
It's not twenty years ago, and today's southern Xinjiang has begun to be imperceptibly influenced by the Shengyuan Dynasty, not to mention that you don't forget that I still have an identity, at least in my hands, half of the southern Xinjiang will not fall into the flames of war.
If the armies of the Zhuang and Qiang tribes are not damaged, I believe that the Shengyuan Dynasty will also consider accepting the conditions we proposed, and if we fight to defeat both sides first, then the situation you said will appear.
In other words, if the Zhuang people are wiped out, what will happen to the southern Xinjiang and what officials will you have? Could it be said that the identity of a southern Xinjiang person is really worthy of our efforts to defend it?
Or let's put it more nobly, is the identity of a relatively independent southern Xinjiang person really more important than the lives of countless southern Xinjiang soldiers and people?"
Song Wenzhao snorted coldly again, and said in silence for a long time: "So, what are the conditions of the Shengyuan Dynasty, or your conditions?"
"The Reborn Financial Giant"
"It's very simple, the southern Xinjiang province is divided into three, the Dong and Miao mountains and the mountainous areas of the various small tribes are under my rule, the Dai and Yi and other small tribes are merged into the Zhuang people, as for the Qiang people, it would be better if they could cooperate with us; if not, we will divide him, and the remaining small tribes are not allowed to keep private armies anymore and are unified under our command.
The king of the opposite sex was completely abolished in Nanjiang Province, and all land ownership was included in the territory of the Shengyuan Dynasty and accepted the direct rule of the Shengyuan Dynasty.
We accept the status of officials appointed by the Shengyuan Dynasty and retain the autonomy of the Tusi, but the leaders of the various clans must accept the marriage of the dynasty and allow the dynasty garrison to defend the southern frontier.
If we can reach a consensus, we can not only join forces to carve up southern Xinjiang, but also unite against the Shengyuan Dynasty.
Even looking at the current situation in the world, if necessary, we can enter the hinterland of the dynasty, and you can think about it again. ”
Song Wenzhao pondered for a moment before he said, "Let me think about it." ”
"It's okay!" Xu Fusheng said briskly: "I think the morning after tomorrow, I believe I can see the results of your consideration." ”
