"The year before last, we defeated the Huns with less and the stronger with the weak, and defeated the Huns' Harry Qisheng troops, and this year we defeated the 600,000 troops of Ukola, who is known as the first fierce general of the Huns, and the strength of the Huns will probably be greatly reduced."

Lei Juetian's expression was a little heavy, "This Qin Dui is really not simple. If these two battles only showed his military genius, it would not be fearful, but he annexed the northwest county bloodlessly, and easily won the favor of Zhao Youxiao, for which the court of the Great Qin Empire allocated a lot of money to support him, and now he has governed the Tokugawa and Northwest counties in a stable manner, and the economic construction is also in full swing, and the local people regard him as a god to worship him, and this person's political skills are even more terrifying. ”

"Oh? Juetian, you seem to be quite scruple about this person. ”

Bi Xili was a little puzzled, after all, the northwest of the Great Qin Empire was far away from here, and there were thousands of mountains and rivers in between, so he really couldn't imagine why Lei Juetian would attach so much importance to Qin Duan.

"Great Khan, as the saying goes, people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries, Qin Duan's appearance is really amazing, I have an intuition, one day, this guy will become our henchman."

Lei Juetian did not hide his uneasiness, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart that this person would eventually stand on the opposite side of him, although there was no sign now, "This person will definitely be a disaster in the future, and he should be eliminated while the grass is in the grass." It's just a pity that our strength is not enough to deal with him now. ”

"Juetian, if you really think that this person will become our enemy in the future, you might as well prepare early, you can make some arrangements, strengthen the monitoring of Qin Duan's aspects, and when necessary, you can take special measures to deal with him."

Although Bi Xili is not as sensitive as Lei Juetian. But he will not be soft on anyone who might hinder his expansion.

Lei Juetian nodded, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I also feel that it is necessary to make some arrangements to prevent problems before they happen, and I hope it doesn't come to that point." ”

On May 10, the 16th year of the Apocalypse, a military meeting to discuss how to pacify the two counties of Meishan and Longdong was held secretly in the Tokugawa Castle Castle T Except for Liang Qiming and Zhuge Fang, who rushed back from Xingye, the rest of the participants were all senior officers above the commander of the army's division. Zhu Yongqing, Shangguan Yonglun, Liu Xiaoshan, Li Dadang, Kang Younian, Lihua, Ding Daniu, Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi also attended the meeting, and Yuzhu, who is in charge of intelligence work, also attended the meeting.

At the meeting, Qin Du first announced the appointment of himself as the military and political envoy of the northwest of the empire on May 4, and commanded the military and political affairs of the six counties in the northwest, and asked him to make military preparations for the pacification of Meishan and Longdong counties, and wait until His Royal Highness the Imperial Crown Prince came to Tokugawa to announce the official appointment and make arrangements for the counterinsurgency campaign.

The generals who were still in the dark were so stimulated by this unexpected surprise that they couldn't help but cheer, and they barely quieted down after Qin Dui's several signals.

"My lord, please let us Tokugawa County Garrison Corps go on the expedition, I promise to take Meishan County within a month!" Zhu Yongqing, who was still a little excited, took the lead in asking for battle.

"Your Excellency. Let's let my cavalry division go on the expedition, whether it is Meishan County or Longdong County, I dare to make a military order, and if it cannot be solved within half a month, I am willing to be punished by military law! Even Shangguan Yonglun, who has always been steady, couldn't help but be a little eager to try.

Li Daring and Liu Xiaoshan also spoke one after another to ask for battle, and everyone's feelings were very high, and it seemed that they both wanted to share a spoonful of soup in the counterinsurgency campaign.

Speak from the heart. Qin Duan was still very satisfied with such a high fighting enthusiasm of his subordinates, but he couldn't despise the enemy because of this. Although the rebels were bandit groups and peasant slaves were entangled together. But after all, there are a lot of them, and they have already fought several encounters with the local garrison that are not regular combat, and they have won victories and gained some experience, so they should not be taken lightly.

Qin Duan motioned to everyone to keep a clear head, and then asked Zhuge Fang to arrange the battle plan he had discussed with him. And asked them to go down immediately to arrange for the deployment. Zhuge Fang immediately announced the battle plan, and the 1st and 2nd Garrison Divisions of the Tokugawa Army and the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Cavalry Division immediately made pre-war preparations, and their target was Meishan County, and the 1st and 3rd Divisions of the 1st Army Corps and the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Cavalry Division also immediately moved to the border area with Longdong, and their target was of course Longdong County. Just waiting for Zhao Yan to announce the order, he immediately marched.

In view of the fact that the Second Army was formed in too short a time, Qin Duan asked Li Daring and other senior officers of the Second Army to strengthen military training after going down, and to have the first, second, and third divisions of the Second Army Corps and the Fifth Division of the First Army Corps present troops at the national border to prevent a surprise attack by some countries in the steppe, especially the Sislos.

Subsequently, Yuzhu gave a detailed account of the activities of the rebel army in the two counties that our intelligence organs have so far grasped. The rebel army in Meishan County is about 110,000 people, mainly divided into three groups, of which the stronger combat effectiveness is the bandit organization "Iron Cavalry Society" that was originally driven out of Tokugawa and developed to Meishan as the core, and in the recent period of time, a large number of displaced people and refugees have been collected, the largest force, about 40,000 people, they are mainly entrenched in the northern area of Meishan County.

There is also a rebellious army, mainly the local powerful underworld organization "Changsheng Society", which took advantage of this year's catastrophe and the people's misery to gather a large number of unemployed vagrants and peasants who could not live, mainly in the western region of Meishan County; The last group consisted of poor hired peasants and slaves who were forced to raise up for their livelihoods, and they were also the instigators of the rebellion, numbering nearly 30,000 men, and their range of activity was much larger, except for almost the entire Meishan in the north.

The situation in Longdong County was also much the same as that in Meishan County, where the peasant slave rebel army of more than 80,000 people was mainly concentrated in the east, while the local bandit organizations were entangled and a large number of idle people and some peasant rebels were active in the west.

Since Qin Duan had noticed the grimness of Meishan and Longdong County a few months ago, he arranged for Yuzhu to arrange a large number of people to infiltrate Meishan and Longdong Counties, infiltrating and penetrating these teams through various channels, and achieving excellent results.

Due to the relatively loose organization and discipline of these rebellious armies, except for the team dominated by the Iron Cavalry, our people have not yet penetrated into its top level, the top of the other teams have more or less the shadow of our people, and some of them even hold the leadership of part of the army.

Out of confidentiality considerations, Qin Duan did not inform the generals attending the meeting for the time being, but only asked them to actively cooperate with the intelligence department to solve the rebel problem with the least loss and the fastest speed.

When the military meeting was over, Qin Duan summoned Liang Qiming alone, and Qin Duan and he exchanged views with him on the post-war reconstruction of Meishan and Longdong counties, and Qin Duan asked Liang Qiming to make ideological preparations to take over Meishan and Longdong counties in a short period of time, and to set up and transfer some management personnel from now on, so that he could take on the important task of economic construction and urban management of the two counties after the war at an appropriate time.

Liang Qiming said that this problem is quite difficult, because the construction of Tokugawa County itself is only on the right track, and some personnel were transferred in the early stage to support the needs of Northwest County, and now it is really impossible to draw more personnel.

This is also the most troublesome Qin Dui one of the problems, because the northwest region has been in the war for a long time, many people of insight have left the northwest region, resulting in the extreme lack of talents in the northwest region, after Qin Dui entered the Tokugawa County, although a lot of work has been done, but at present can only barely deal with the work of Tokugawa and the northwest county, the problem in front of us is that once the two counties of Meishan and Longdong are recovered, they will face no less than the heavy task of the reconstruction of Tokugawa County, where to recruit so many talents engaged in various management workThis is indeed a headache.

Qin Duan couldn't think of a better way, but he still asked Liang Qiming to squeeze out some people no matter what, at least to make the work of the recovered Meishan and Longdong counties barely run away, and as for the later work, he had to think of another way.

Liang Qiming reluctantly agreed to Qin Dui's request, Qin Dui couldn't help but remind him to consider the problem from the perspective of the overall situation in the northwest, and he, the administrative director of Tokugawa County, could not be for long.

On May 13, the 16th year of the Apocalypse, under the order of Qin Du, the armies of the entire Tokugawa Prefecture and the Northwestern Prefecture were rapidly mobilized and entered the intense pre-war preparation stage. However, the intelligence services brought worrying news that an unknown number of Sithlo Empire troops had entered the area bordering Meishan County, and it was somewhat unclear what the intentions were.

On the one hand, Qin Du ordered the intelligence department to continue to do their best to gather information, and at the same time, Qin Du also called Zhuge to the mansion to see what he thought of the current form.

The atmosphere seemed a little dull, it seemed that Zhuge Fang didn't expect the Siathrow Empire's army to move so quickly, he stood in front of the map for a long time and didn't speak.

"My lord, the plan to send troops to Meishan County and Longdong County should be advanced?" After a long time, Zhuge Fang said a word.

Qin Dui understood what Zhuge Fang meant, this was to take advantage of the fact that the army of the Sislo Empire was not ready, and send troops to Meishan and Longdong County in time, and take the army of the Sislo Empire by surprise, Qin Dui thought for a while and said: "But His Royal Highness the Prince has not yet arrived, and the seal of my military and political envoy of the Northwest County is still with him. ”

Untying this knot, Qin Duan's mood suddenly relaxed, and the rest were some minor problems, which would be much easier to solve.

"How can a person who has achieved great things be restrained and order the craftsmen on the street to make one, anyway, no one has ever seen the true appearance of this thing now." Zhuge replied with a smile. (To be continued......)
