Wu Sangui said angrily: "Dad...... I don't believe that when the Far Eastern Army entered the customs, it would be able to bypass Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan. Don't look at the fact that they occupy the Monan grassland, but what else is there on the grassland except cattle and sheep, is it possible that the grain and grass needed by the army will have to be transported from Liaodong to the grassland for horses, and they will eventually have to go through our Guanjin defense line. ”

Wu Xiang shook his head and said: "Recently, news came from the northwest of Daming that the Far East had seized the Hetao a few years ago, and gathered hundreds of thousands of displaced people from the northwest to go to the Hetao to open up wasteland, and then diverted the water of the Yellow River to irrigate. It is said that the Far Eastern Army stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in the Hetao, and now the grain produced in the Hetao area alone is enough for them to raise troops. ”

Listening to his father's words, Wu Sangui's face also became solemn, and he no longer had the arrogance he had just now. If the Far Eastern Army is heavily armed in the Hetao area, then there is really no need to go through the Guanjin defense line.

"Daddy...... What will we do if the Far East does not allow us to control the troops and horses? Now you should always be that doctrine. ”

Wu Xiang smiled bitterly: "Hehe...... What else can we do, we can't fight and fight, we can only wait for the people from the Far East to come, and we can only consider it after we understand their intentions. ”

Wu Sangui thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Dad...... Then we have to make plans now, if the Far East does things absolutely nothing, we must have a charter. Don't be caught off guard by them, and it will be too late to think about it.

Wu Xiang turned his head to look at his son, then nodded and said, "Yes, you are right, whether to fight or surrender, it is time to make up your mind." ”

When Wu Sangui heard his father's words, he said excitedly: "Dad...... If it is a field battle, our Guanning Iron Cavalry is certainly not their opponent in the Far East, but with the Guanjin defense line, how can we hold it for a few days. ”

Wu Xiang frowned, and then said in a deep voice, "What are you going to say?" ”

Wu Sangui said ruthlessly: "Dad...... I always feel that we have to prepare early, in case the Far East does not fight righteousness, and suddenly attacks our Guanjin defense line and catches us off guard, then where will we cry. In any case, we must also prepare early, at least let our brothers everywhere strengthen their vigilance. ”

In fact, Wu Xiang also felt that his son's words were reasonable, but at his age, he had long lost his sharpness, for fear that Guan Ning's iron cavalry's actions would stimulate the Far Eastern Army and make the other party misunderstand.

"If the Far East learns that we are rearming for war, I am afraid that they will misunderstand it."

"Daddy...... The Far Eastern Army is in full swing and may move west to Guanning at any time. This is because they are unkind in the first place, and we are tossing in our own territory, and what do we have to do with them in the Far East. Besides, if the Far East has the intention to surrender, why not send someone over to talk. is to take 10,000 steps back, why do we keep the military power in our hands, not the 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry in our hands, and the long Xiongguan of this Guanjin defense line.

Our two have worked hard in Guanning for many years, and how much food has it cost to train the current Guanning Iron Cavalry, they said to take it away, why, no matter how domineering the Far Eastern Army is, it can't bully people like this, anyway, I don't accept it. If it really provokes us, let the Far East come. I don't believe that the Far East can't understand this layer. I see...... Hum...... Now the Far East is ignoring our masters, just trying to force us to comply. ”

Wu Xiang listened to his son's words, and his face became dark. Isn't that what is going on, I have expressed my heart to the Far East many times, and I have made it very clear, so I almost hit the ground with my head, and the Far East is indeed too unauthentic.

Wu Sangui watched the change in his father's face, and added another fire.

"Daddy...... What are we afraid of now, they will not move in the Far East, then we will strengthen our vigilance and see who can rely on whom. Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with fighting the Far East. also let them know that the Guanjin defense line is not paper-paste, and our Guanning Iron Cavalry is not a decoration. If we really rely on the Guanjin defense line to block the Far Eastern Army and make it impossible for them to attack for a long time, then we will have a talk with the Far East. ”

Wu Xiang sighed, closed his eyes and thought for a while, feeling that he was really old. At this time, he was so frightened by the Far East that he lost his sense of proportion.

Thinking of this, he slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at his son with relief.

"Child, Dad is old, Guan Ningjun will rely on you in the future."

He sighed after speaking, and his face slowly became hideous.

"Pass the order, let the brothers put the army on alert, and the tunbao in various places should hurry up to strengthen the city defense, send out patrols along the Daling River at night, and report back quickly once they find any changes in the Far Eastern Army."

With Wu Xiang's order, tens of thousands of Guanning iron cavalry and a large number of auxiliary soldiers and young men were all busy, and the acropolis, fortresses, and forts began to close the city gates, vigorously strengthen the city defense, and climb the city head to strictly guard. At the same time, a large number of Guanning Iron Cavalry who did not collect at night also sprinkled along the banks of the Daling River, constantly sending back all kinds of news.

For a time, the battle clouds on both sides of the Daling River were dense, and there was an extremely depressing atmosphere.

Just when Wu Xiang's father and son were in full swing to prepare for the war, the main forces of the Eastern Corps, which were composed of various units in the Eastern Field, had all completed their assembly and spread out along the Daling River. All the troops are ready to go, just waiting for the moment of the general attack.

Qiang Quansheng, commander of the Eastern Corps, also came to the front line and set up the headquarters of the Eastern Corps on the east bank of the Daling River.

The airboat unit had already discovered the movement of the Guanning Army on the other side of the strait and transmitted the information back in time.

Qiang Quansheng held a telescope and stood on a high ground on the east bank of the Daling River, observing the situation on the other side. He put down the binoculars in his hand, turned to the people at the corps headquarters behind him and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Lao Wu sent out all the night in his hand, haha...... It seems that our judgment is right, these two still don't want to let go of their military power. ”

The chief of staff next to him smiled and said, "Isn't this exactly what we want to see, at least this time we have an excuse, if they really cross the river and hit the ground, we are really embarrassed to do something to them." ”

"Paralyzed, I have long seen that Wu Sangui is not pleasing to the eye, and I get angry when I think of him. It was just through this war that he tried to destroy the big traitor. ”

"I don't think we can kill him, our artillery units are so fierce that they won't need two salvos before they have to surrender."

"It is said that Wu Xiang has trained 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry in recent years, and his combat power is very strong, these are all good soldiers, they are all specially collected, and then they are scattered and for a few months, and they are good soldiers when they are pulled out in the future."

Qiang Quansheng listened to everyone's words, and said with a smile: "Old Wu and the two of them feel very good about themselves, does he really think that his soldiers and horses dare to fight against our Far East." Hehe...... Zhou Billy of the Intelligence Department has already installed a large number of intelligence personnel in the Guanning Army, and many of them have been promoted to generals in the Guanning Army.
