"Deputy Marshal, General Xuanying Wei Qinkong has arrived." Gauss had just arrived in Suez City and received a report from his guards that Qin Kong had actually come to Egypt, which surprised him. Gauss should have arrived long ago after the original trip, but he stayed in Persia Province for a few days, and the deployment and arrangement of the Hou Yong Corps station, coupled with the large number of Tiance troops entering Egypt, led to a much greater consumption of materials than before, and the pressure on logistics and transportation also increased, not only the railway capacity is about to reach the limit, but even the number of transport fleets is already insufficient. It is good to say that now under the stimulation of the Taixi War, the domestic shipping companies are developing rapidly, and with Xu Xingxia and Zhang Qiang starting to exert force towards Persia, Gauss Ji is no longer worried about the fleet. On the contrary, a large number of materials were transported by rail to the Persian Governorate, and the capacity of the Northwest Railway had reached its limit, and there was no way to stop it every day. Therefore, before boarding the ship, Gauss also discussed this matter with Qu Chengmei, the deputy prime minister who went south to inspect the ship, and suggested that the procurement of general materials in the northwest provinces should be increased, and all the freed up transportation capacity should be put into the transportation of large construction machinery and other construction machinery that cannot be produced in the northwest. In this way, it can also rely on the military and cabinet to purchase large quantities of materials, and further promote the development of food processing and light industry in the northwest. Qu Chengmei has urgently sent people back to report to the prime minister, and he has also begun to conduct emergency inspections in various provinces and communicate with the political envoys of various provinces. Because whether it is the headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Army or the Northwest Expedition led by Qu Chengmei, the understanding of Taixi's side has been unified, so this golden opportunity is not to be missed by the Tang Empire.

Gauss was delayed on his side, and Qin Kong was temporarily rerouted. After learning that the secret guard reported that the Western Expeditionary Army had divided its troops and authorized Gauss to set up the Western Expeditionary Army's advance headquarters in Egypt, he turned south and ran over, with the members of the Dragon Group and a squad of the Flying Eagle Brigade by his side, naturally there was no hindrance. Moreover, as the Great Qin people had already started to build the new capital of Rome, Qin Kongdu sent people back to report, intending to transfer the main manpower of the Flying Eagle Brigade to take advantage of the fire to loot.

"You kid, did you get confused by the prosperity of Byzantium, how did you run away into the desert of Egypt with only sand?" As soon as Gauss Ji was about to go out to greet him, Qin Kong had already arrived at the door.

"It's not like I have nowhere to go, I heard that the deputy marshal has formed a command in Egypt, so I plan to come over and be a staff officer." The two are familiar with each other, so they are not taboo when they talk, and after making a few jokes, Qin Kong's expression began to become serious and said: "Deputy marshal, the Byzantine side should have been taken by the Great Food Army, and our Datang's movements can't be slow." ”

"It's been five days since the news came from your Xuanying Guard, and the trick of hiding the sky and crossing the sea is not a sophisticated scheme, since Amdullah can imagine it, then Elidoan is impossible to defend against even if he is a god facing hundreds of miles of straits." Gauss nodded and said, "However, the Byzantine side is personally in charge of the marshal, and it will not be our Tiance Army Headquarters that will be transferred in the early stage." What I need to know here is what's going on in the west. Gao Siji pointed his finger to the west and continued: "As long as the Great Qin army can cross the strait to the south, then the war potential of the Great Food Empire will inevitably be exhausted, and their land alone is not as much as the desert It will not be able to withstand such a strong war consumption. Ayebidu has already gone to Chang'an, and I think that soon the emperor's order will reach the front. All I have to do is to help the Great Cannibals maintain their rule in western Africa and drive the Great Qin people across the strait after they promise to surrender Egypt. And then in turn to dismember Great Qin. A confident smile appeared on Gao Siji's face, "You Xuanyingwei have been planning for more than three years, you should have been fully prepared, right?" Otherwise, just with the intensity of this great battle against Tessie, you will not be left unattended by your commander in this foreign land for a long time. ”

"You got the deputy marshal, you should tell our commander what you said, and you can give me more salary and commendation or something." Qin Kong joked: "I am here to report, Xuan Yingwei has made all preparations in Taixi, and the specific action plan has been sent to the Chang'an base camp, and it should be transferred to your Western Expeditionary Army Headquarters by the General Staff in the near future." As for the west, the deputy marshal guessed well, according to the preparations of the Great Qin Empire, they should have already crossed the strait at this moment. The Mediterranean Sea is now dominated by the Great Qin family, and it is not difficult for them to cross a strait at all. "In fact, Qin Kong has not yet received a report from the secret guard at this time, and the Great Qin army has already crossed the strait and headed south to start a war. But this doesn't matter, after all, the east relied on Ullam's desperate battle in the Byzantine city, completely driving the Great Qin army out of the Balkans, and the cavalry corps even chased for hundreds of miles before collecting the troops. And the nearly 200,000 people of the Great Qin army were defeated, and only about thirty percent of the ten percent eventually escaped, and most of the survivors were allies of the Russian army in Kiev, which could be regarded as a complete loss of vitality. This retreat directly ceded the entire Balkan region to the Great Cannibals, and the forces of Great Qin retreated all the way to the Aegean coast, barely gaining a foothold in eastern Greece. The retreat of the Great Qin Army did not matter, and it directly cut off almost all the elite areas that the Great Qin Empire had ruled for hundreds of years in the eastern part of Taixi. Although the western territory currently appears to be larger than the east, there are also warm large plains in the north, which are densely populated. But after all, which places are newly incorporated areas, they have been separated from the rule of the Great Qin Empire for hundreds of years, and the sense of belonging is not strong, and there are even all kinds of local localists and the Holy See in many places who are making trouble. To be honest, this defeat of the Great Qin Empire is a direct loss of its own ruling foundation, if it were not for the fact that this is against the Heavenly Sect, I am afraid that the Holy See may not support this battlefield and support the Great Qin Empire. These evil consequences are not visible for the time being, but once an external force intervenes, then the entire Great Qin Empire will inevitably face the same situation as the Great Cannibal, after its own ruling power and war potential are exhausted, its own imperial power is simply unable to maintain the other factions and tribes in the country, once this situation is artificially provoked and put on the table, then it will inevitably usher in a complete collapse. And this is the main task of Qin Kong's activities in Taixi for three years, the eyeliner and secret guards arranged by Xuan Yingwei have penetrated deep into various areas of Taixi, and a complete network has been connected, in addition to providing intelligence, it is more to serve the overall situation.

If the defeat of the war on the Eastern Front is a signal of comprehensive decline for the Great Qin Empire, then the Great Qin army's southward attack on Tunis and other African regions is the beginning of the peril for the Great Food Empire, although Amdullah defeated the Great Qin Empire on the Eastern Front and occupied the Byzantine royal capital, but after all, it is a place where the other party has been operating for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for the Great Cannibals to gain anything from it in a short period of time, but they must continue to invest manpower and material resources to maintain their rule and prevent the other side from counterattacking. This makes it even more difficult for Da Shi, who is already exhausted in troops, exhausted in materials, and has bottomed out in war potential. And once Tunisia and other places suffer from the spread of war, then the big cannibalism is equivalent to completely losing the last strategic rear. Gauss Ji even doubted that once Tunisia was occupied by Daqin, Da Shi would not completely collapse until he made a move. You must know that in order to maintain the war, not only a large number of young and middle-aged people have been forcibly conscripted into the army, but even most of the people's living materials have been forcibly requisitioned, and a large amount of money has to be allocated to buy various war materials from Datang, relying on the barren land output, they simply cannot maintain such a large scale of war consumption, if it is not for the previous occupation of the fertile land of the Iberian Peninsula and relying on the way of war to feed the army, I am afraid that the big cannibals in this war will not have much qualifications at all.

"The simultaneous reversal of the east-west direction of the two countries has completely shaken the foundation of their country. I'm afraid that the original plan will also fail. Gauss Jilet the accompanying staff officers spread out the map and said: "It will never be reliable to rely on others to defend your own country." Even if the Great Eclipse gives up the land of Egypt to us, will they be able to hold it on their own in Tunisia? The Tiance Army is not a mercenary, and it is impossible to fight for him once and fight a second time. ”

"Haha, lieutenant marshal, you don't need to think about it. I have a way to dismember the Great Food Empire. Qin Kong said indifferently: "The Tunisian region is still very fertile near the Mediterranean Sea, and those places themselves have their own tribes living for generations, and many of them are still mixed tribes from all over the world, so just use a little brain." ”

"I find it a scourge to let you out, but once the cannibals wait until the canal is completed, it won't be so easy for Tunisia to break up after they have a navy." Gauss Ji shook his head, and he was also very helpless about Qin Kong's practice of eating the upper house and the next house, but then said: "The big cannibal has the idea of this canal. ”

"Yes, the emperor is still clever, using a canal to change all the strategic plans of the two empires of Taixi, and let them revolve around our canal from now on, I admire them so much." Qin Kong said with a smile: "Let's not stay in Suez anymore, let's go north immediately, it is estimated that a lot of prisoners have been captured in the battle of Dashi, and when the time comes, let Minister Lin go and discuss with them, anyway, it costs money and food to raise the captives, negotiate with the big cannibals, and hand over those prisoners to us to build the canal." Hehe, so many captives are in our hands, which is not a small backhand. ”

"Aren't you going to be a staff officer for me? It's all up to you. Gauss nodded and decisively threw all this kind of thing to Qin Kong to deal with by himself, and then hurriedly took the staff and guards of the headquarters from Suez City to the north by boat into the Great Bitter Lake, and then went all the way north directly to the Lake Tim Sah area, and at the beginning of May of the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, he joined Pang Lingming, Li Shaozhou and others, so that all the members and troops of the Egyptian Advance Command of the Western Expeditionary Army had arrived. At this time, the secret guards from Tunisia and other places also urgently sent the news to Gauss's step. Sure enough, at the same time as the great rout of Byzantium on the Eastern Front, the Great Qin Army still crossed the strait into Africa under the escort of part of the naval fleet and began to attack the city. Although they have not come to this land for hundreds of years, and many Great Qin soldiers have not adapted to the hot and dry desert steppe climate here, more than 100,000 Great Qin elite troops are not something that a mere Great Food Garrison Army can resist. Similar to the Eastern Front's Great Cannibal Rush Rush, the speed at which Great Qin advanced after the opponent's weakness was not bad at all. Urgent information for help was sent like snowflakes across the desert and the Mediterranean Sea to Baghdad.

Because he had obtained the information one step ahead of time and had planned it in advance, Gauss had already ordered Zhang Sheng to lead the Anxi Corps to secretly set out from the south and secretly deploy on the Egyptian border to seize several important water sources and transportation arteries under the condition that the results of the domestic negotiations had not yet been reported. And asked Qin Kong to take the opportunity of negotiating with the other party to exchange prisoners of war for people to build the canal, and revealed this information to the officials who came to contact him. Thus giving the big cannibal a little more time to react.

In the face of the great change, the big cannibals reacted quickly, and when there were no orders from Baghdad and Amdullah, they directly pulled out all the troops in Egypt and hurriedly drove to the west, which can be regarded as giving Amdullah a buffer time. It's just that in this way, Amdullah is faced with a very difficult choice, whether to continue to concentrate on the Byzantine direction and pursue the Great Qin people, or to divide his troops to the south to rescue Tunisia? If you divide your forces, you will inevitably have to go on the defensive on the Eastern Front, and your previous advantage will come to naught. Even in order to consider the threat of Elidogan's navy in the rear, even with Byzantium, he had to consider whether to give up. Obviously, although the Great Qin Empire suffered heavy losses in the Byzantine battle, it saw the weakness of the Great Food Empire, so it continued to move south regardless of the extremely critical situation on the Eastern Front. They expected that Amdullah would have to divide his forces after learning that Tunisia had been attacked by themselves, because this was a territory that was at stake for the survival of the Great Food Empire.

It's just that what the Great Qin Empire didn't know at this time was that under their noses, soon, Gauss Ji revealed his arrangement in Egypt. At this time, what he was waiting for was just a notice from Chang'an. And almost at this time, in the base camp of the Tang Empire in Chang'an City, Zhang Jianzhong and Wang Shoutian also appeared in the Changqing Palace, although the two of them looked serious, but the light revealed in their eyes made Li Xuanqing's heart settle.

On the seventh day of the fifth month of the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, Li Xuanqing held a night banquet in the Tang Palace in Chang'an to entertain Ayebi, who came all the way to Chang'an from the Great Food.
