Pei Yuanshao's idea was very simple, that is, to disrupt the defense line of the Huns through the attack of the assault team, and then take the opportunity to expand the chaos. In this way, their offense will be able to achieve the result they want. Pei Yuanshao's idea was correct, but he didn't know how long this situation could last. But he thinks it should be. Judging from the experience of attacking the Montenegrin Army, as long as we take advantage of the chaos to attack the enemy's headquarters and disrupt the enemy's military deployment, such a situation should be achieved.

Pei Yuanshao took some measures to attack regardless of it, and in this way, their situation would be greatly improved, and in such a situation, their situation would develop more favorably.

Shang Wu and Jia Xu are also worried about the development of the situation, but they can only think about this problem from a strategic point of view, specific tactics. They don't know too well yet.

Ma Heng reported that the militias of all ministries had been mobilized. They were all actively involved in the ambush operations, and we used arquebuses, so some of the militia cooperated with our field troops and achieved some good results. Jia Xu knew that Shangwu had some worries, so he said this deliberately. In this way, their situation can be somewhat better.

"This is the case, but if you want to completely reverse this situation, it is not enough to rely on the militia alone." Shang Wu said. He knows very well that if such a thing wants to be completely reversed, it will cost a lot of things.

"Yes, but His Majesty the Emperor of Luoyang is already concerned about our development in Hedong." Jia Xu said and pulled out a telegram from Handan, and a large amount of news was basically sent through Handan, because Handan was the closest place for the Republican Army to Luoyang.

"From a strategic point of view, the location of Hedong is very important. Once we control there, we can cut off the connection between Luoyang and Guanzhong, and at the same time we can go north or south, and the threat is really great. Shang Wu looked at the map and said. The Republican Army has now moved along the Taihang Mountains of the Jizhong Plain, Luzhou, that is, the Shangdang area. and Hedong, if they are all connected, it will pose a great threat to the whole of Luoyang, because he can send troops to three routes, starting from Handan, starting from Shangdang, and starting from Hedong, which can pose a great threat to Luoyang. In the face of such a threat, the imperial court was naturally aware of this, so they had to prevent the republican army from occupying Hedong no matter what.

The imperial court kept issuing decrees to let them withdraw from Hedong after expelling the Huns, and the imperial court could exchange it for Changshan County, where most of it was occupied by the Montenegrin army, so to speak, the imperial court's ideas were very good and realistic.

"Such an important place, we must be careful, recently the imperial court's Xiyuan new army is going to conduct military exercises in Yecheng, this news has caused a certain impact, some businessmen began to worry that we are going to war with the imperial court again." Jia Xu said worriedly.

"We can do it-for-tat, but that's not our intention." Shang Wu said.

"To be honest, I feel that the area we occupy has some advantages, but also some disadvantages, and the main reason is that there are too many enemies around us, and at the same time, they are too complicated." Shang Wu said, looking at the map.

It is true that the republican army occupying a certain Jizhong Plain must have the cover of Taihang Mountain, but after occupying Taihang Mountain, they did not completely control all Taihang Mountain, because the border army of the imperial court and the state were also stationed in their northern position. Coupled with their attack on Hedong, the Huns were on the west side of the river. And over there is the army of the imperial court. There is also the Montenegrin Army bordering the Republican Army. Geographically, it's too complicated.

"This kind of thing, sometimes it's like this, what we need, it's not too good to give, but it takes our acquired efforts." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. As for the situation in Hedong, it is said that the ongoing fighting in Hedong is intractable, and it is difficult for the troops to withdraw separately. Shang Wu thought for a moment and said.

"Take out all our weapons and ammunition, and all kinds of material consumption, right?" Jia Xu asked with a smile as he looked at Shang Wu.

"Hehe, those who know me, Wen Heye." Shang Wu said. Jia Xu had long known that Shangwu would definitely do this. As the price of attacking Hedong, the republican army will inevitably develop Hedong, because the location there is very important, and the established goal of the republican army is the Hetao Plain, and then capture the entire grassland, Jia Xu does not know why Shangwu did this, because in Jia Xu's opinion, the Guanzhong area is more attractive, maybe because the situation in Guanzhong is really not suitable. The agricultural facilities there suffered great damage, the population loss was relatively large, and the relationship with the imperial court made it difficult for Shangwu to develop there for a while, perhaps occupying the Hetao area for more horses, or more other resources, in Jia Xu's view, there did not seem to be much other resources to use.

Maybe Shang Wu was preparing to improve the food. In fact, Shangwu is very aware of the importance of the Hetao Plain, where there are rich coal resources, as well as rare earth resources, with those resources, the metallurgical industry will have a greater development, although the current barrel drilling technology is relatively some signs of maturity, but after all, it is not fully mature, the most important reason is that the drill bit, they lack qualified drill bits, because of the lack of chromium nickel, or tungsten and a series of elements, resulting in the industry can not be further upgraded, coupled with the lack of oil, resulting in the lack of development of industry to a certain degree of difficulty, Fortunately, there is no shortage of coal resources.

The occupation of the Loop is not just about meat. More for the needs of industry. And the key to taking such a first step is Hedong. Because Hedong is too important. Therefore, there is a possibility that the contradiction will escalate.

But the Republican Army could not retreat, and once it withdrew from Hedong, it would be very difficult to re-enter the area. It is better for them to take advantage of the fact that the imperial court is helpless against them, rapidly develop the base area, and create an established fact, and the imperial court does not have enough strength to suppress them, so that they become helpless, in short, the plan of martial arts has been very clear. Now it depends on whether the imperial court can have enough strength to retake Hedong. Hedong has become a new flashpoint of contradiction between the two. No one can budge.
