Chapter 275, three days
Liu Wei is actually not without the courage and determination to go to war, but he needs to have a reason to convince himself, and the appearance of Tang Lang and Zha Hongtu coincided with the meeting, giving him a perfect reason.
"Zha Hongtu obeyed orders: ordered Zuo Xiaowei to be the vanguard, immediately open to Duobao Villa, investigate the dark flame and Tianqing movements, if there is an emergency, I will allow you to respond to the situation, and give you a gold medal, if I come in person, if there is a violator, you can cut it first!"
"Tang Lang obeyed orders: your fiefdom will be requisitioned as a wartime, and all expenses will be borne by the treasury, and 2,000 people will be selected in your chamber of commerce as Zuo Xiaowei's reserves, enjoy the treatment of the Xuanjia Army, and be dispatched by thousands of households at any time!"
......
A series of orders came out of Liu Wei's mouth, after all, he was the emperor who had been in charge of the huge empire for more than ten years, and he acted decisively and resolutely, once his mind was decided, he did not hesitate at all, and the huge empire began to prepare for a full-scale war.
Zha Hongtu and Tang Lang did not continue to stay in the palace, and after asking the emperor to resign, they returned to the Zuo Xiaowei camp to arrange various matters for the relocation of personnel, and various material resources such as ordnance and pills began to be allocated continuously.
Tang Lang proposed several times that he wanted to return to the villa first, but Zha Hongtu ruthlessly refused, the reason was to let him be more familiar with the affairs of the army, and the reserve of 2,000 people had to be managed by Tang Lang himself, and he would not assist from the side, Tang Lang could only accompany him hard-headed, and it took another five or six days to deal with the military affairs before it came to an end.
"Whew, I'm finally back!" Tang Lang looked at the gate of the villa and the busy figures, almost bursting into tears, dealing with the mountains of paperwork every day was terrible, and he was even more tired than fighting a monster.
In addition to the thousands of people who followed him, there were also a large number of logistics personnel, who originally felt that their villa occupied a large area, but after everyone settled in, it was already a little crowded, and Zha Hongtu waved his hand: "Expand five miles in the direction of Tianqing, build beacon towers on the hills on both sides, and build a teleportation array as soon as possible......
"Boss Cha, if you continue to expand like this, won't my fiefdom become the same size as Yuanshui City, will there be a suspicion of trespassing!" Tang Lang was a little worried.
Zha Hongtu glanced at him with disdain: "What is there to be afraid of if Lao Tzu has your support! If the temporary garrison of the dignified Zuo Xiaowei is not as good as a small border town, where will Lao Tzu's face go? Besides, it is difficult to say how long this war will last, and most of the people will be stationed in the future, so be prepared!"
Tang Lang could only helplessly spread his hands and said: "Okay, as long as you have fun, boss, you don't have to pay for it anyway!"
The professional engineers who followed quickly surveyed all the terrain around the villa, and with their rich experience, readjusted the layout of the buildings in the villa, divided it into different blocks with different functions, and turned a resort villa into a military camp in full swing.
2,000 sets of equipment from the regular Xuanjia Army were also brought and distributed to the brothers in the martial arts hall and the battle hall, Tang Lang broke up all the martial arts halls and the war halls, and invited the more experienced Hu Hefeng to reorganize and practice, Jiang Dali, Di Kunpeng, Xue Kaijie, Rong Xingzhou and others also became recruits and followed everyone to train together.
The dark hall sent out before also continued to spread the news back to all parts of Tianqing, fortunately there was no more bad news coming, although the rest of the county towns were devastated by the dark flames and the people's livelihood withered, they did not become a dead place like Ziwei City.
However, Tang Lang and Zha Hongtu are more concerned about the movements of the five major legions of Dark Flame, and it can be confirmed that the two major legions of Wuwei and Huwei stayed in the territory of Dark Flame to guard, the Li Feng Legion was stationed in the territory of Tianqing, and the Xiaocai Legion was stationed in the territory of the Principality of Hongxu, only the mysterious Hengye Legion did not know where to go.
Everyone gathered in the new council hall, silent around the sand table, all thinking about Dark Flame's next move.
Tang Lang pulled Wei Yuankui aside and asked in a low voice: "What about Zhao Huahan? At that time, he still had 20,000 male soldiers under his command, occupying three counties and counties, even if he couldn't attack, he could hold on to one place for a while, what is the current situation?"
Wei Yuankui's face was full of disdain: "That kid is simply a puppet, he has long been hollowed out by Dongfang Shun, and he has no real power." And that Dongfang Shun had already surrendered to Dark Flame, and this old guy had been operating in the upper echelons of Tianqing for many years, with a vast network, and the 20,000 male soldiers and counties from all over the country had already surrendered to Dark Flame and become the territory of Dark Flame!"
Tang Lang's gloomy and pale face appeared in front of Tang Lang's eyes, and he sighed: "It is not appropriate to let a good prince go, killing his father and brother to seek power and ascend to the throne, but in the end he makes a wedding dress for others, he really deserves it! Just causing the Filipino to be depressed all day long is not a pity, it is not a pity to die, it really deserves it!"
He was still thinking about it here, and Gu Yuxia was already worried that Dark Flame would repeat his old tricks: "Check Qianhu, Dark Flame's Yokono Legion is the best at lurking and rushing, and the fall of Tianqing has the most to do with it, and now they have disappeared out of sight again, maybe they are already lurking somewhere, eyeing them!"
Zha Hongtu turned to one person and said, "Qu Wu, what do you think?"
Qu Wu is the same as Hu Hefeng, but he is Zuo Xiaowei's chief thinker, good at strategic planning, and he has always given advice to Zha Hongtu.
Everyone's eyes were all focused on him at once, Qu Wu's eyes were blazing, he brushed aside the tips of the hair blocking his round and full forehead, and said confidently: "You don't have to panic, Tianlan is different from Tianqing, even if the Hengye Legion sneaks into the territory, there is no chance for him to be presumptuous, the most likely thing is to use the power of lightning to capture one or two cities as a stronghold to clear the obstacles for the follow-up troops!"
After seeing that everyone had calmed down a little, he continued: "The Yokono Legion Xiong Feichi is ruthless, and after capturing the city, in order to reward his subordinates, he will slaughter the city for three days, so it is also called "Xiong Sanji", so we must figure out his thoughts, and we must not let Tianlan's life be ruined!"
Speaking of this, several people from Tianqing, Tang Lang, Zong Bo and others were all full of grief and indignation, it was Xiong Feichi who led the Hengye Army to break through the Tianqing Imperial City, turning it into ruins, and hundreds of thousands of civilians became dead souls......
Qu Wu didn't care about their feelings, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and marked two locations on the sand table: "If I were to speculate, their choice could only be placed in these two places: one is to use Shao'an County as a breakthrough, after all, the Red Star Sect has already retracted its forces back to Liaochang City, except for Zuo Xiaowei's sudden nailing here, the entire Shao'an can be said to be wide open!"
"The other possibility is to break through from Nanshan County opposite the Principality of Hongxu, but there is the White Feather Palace guarding there, and the emperor has already sent the right imperial guard to assist in the defense, which can be described as a hard bone, and it is difficult to succeed in a raid in a short period of time. ”
"Therefore, the most likely thing to happen is that Xiong will first feint to attack Shao'an on the third day, mobilize Tianlan's attention to this, and then attack Nanshan!"
Hu Hefeng asked puzzledly: "Lao Wu, this strategy is not clever, even a rough person like me can understand it, then Xiong Sanri is not the first time we have dealt with each other, we have always been scheming, will there be another conspiracy?"
"This is not a conspiracy!" Qu Wu shook his head and said: "This is the righteous and bright plan, which is to force us to respond! Xiong attacked Shao'an on the third day, if you Red Star Sect dares not to resist, he will select two or three cities from the nine cities of Shao'an to slaughter the city, so that the Red Star Sect will be notorious!"
"If the Red Star Sect dares to divide its troops to attack, then encircle the point and send reinforcements! The Red Star Sect can mobilize about 30,000 people, and its strength is slightly inferior to Yokono, if you accidentally fall into an ambush, the end can be imagined. And once the Red Star Sect is defeated, it will shake the government and the opposition and pull the entire defense line!"
"So we can only be beaten passively? His grandmother's, how can this be beaten!" Hu Hefeng scratched his head when he heard this, shouting aggrieved.
Qu Wu didn't answer directly, but turned to look at Zha Hongtu: "It depends on how Boss Cha wants to fight! Is it to seek stability or to find some excitement?"
Zha Hongtu was a little puzzled at first, and then his face changed greatly: "You crazy Qu, don't you want to ......"
Prior to this, Qu Wu had been acting quite rationally, and it was not until this moment that his fanatical side was revealed: "Yes, Boss Cha, I just want to run thousands of miles, and I am dividing my troops to attack, completely muddy the clear water of the sky, and let the bear throw a rat for three days!"
Qu Wu's hands were like electricity, and he made many new marks on the sand table, and said like a river: "According to the information transmitted back from Tang Shihu's side, the Li Feng Legion stationed in Tianqing is not based in one place, but is divided into five prefectures, Changping, Tong'an, Luning, Yangxia and Wuhua, each state has only four or five thousand people, and then subdivided into various cities, but there are only more than a thousand people!"
It's not that his tone is arrogant, but that the Xuanjia Army is actually the elite of the Tianlan elite, and compared with the five major legions of Dark Flame, it is enough to be ten.
Qu Wu nodded to Tang Lang again: "Besides, we still have the two thousand reserves of the Chamber of Commerce under the command of Tang Shihu, it is better to go to the Tianqing Territory to kill the Quartet, completely disrupt the layout of the Li Feng Army, cut off Xiong's back road for three days, and see how he disposes of it!"
Zha Hongtu's face changed several times, and finally patted the seat: "It's done! Lao Tzu is surrounded by a bunch of little madmen, so I will accompany you to go crazy again, and let the dark flame dog know that our Zuo Xiaowei is powerful!"
Tang Lang was surprised and delighted when he heard this, he was surprised that Zha Hongtu would actually agree to this seemingly bold and reckless plan, and he was happy that he could finally fight with Dark Yan head-on, especially the old opponent Li Feng Legion, at that time, many Tianqing civilians died under their hands, and this time they could collect a lot of interest first.
Therefore, without waiting for Zha Hongtu to ask for advice, Tang Lang couldn't wait to say: "Boss Cha, my brothers are looking forward to killing Tianqing every day to take revenge, when will we leave?"
Qu Wu and Tang Lang had no deep friendship before, and seeing that the other party was not a timid and fearful person, he couldn't help but feel good: "Tang Shihu, it's not a joke to go deep alone, we have to plan well in every detail, we are here to kill the enemy, not to throw ourselves into the net!"
