Chapter 272: A New Plan
"What's going on?"
"If you look at this information, it will be clear that our intelligence officers sent it back overnight." Zhuge Fang handed over a piece of information.
"Oh?"
Qin Duhu glanced at Zhuge Fang, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, suspiciously, took the information and read it slowly.
"Frederick, the new commander of the southern front on the Loulan side, has ordered the abandonment of the city of Giasi, and the whole army has withdrawn to the north bank of the Salween River to set up defenses? On September 29, Frederick led his army to defeat the 9th Corps of the Pasha Kingdom, which had forcibly crossed the Salween River, near Wenling, burning more than 20,000 men, all the rest surrendered, and more than 200 ships were burned. Fire attack?! Get the map! A hint of red flushed on Qin Duan's face.
Flipping up the map, Qin Dui's attention was already fully focused on the map, and following the movement of his fingers, he finally found the small place of Wenling at the bend of a river marked on the map.
After a long while, Qin Duan withdrew his gaze from the map, "Amazing! This Frederick is really extraordinary. Zhuge Fang, what is the origin of this guy? ”
"Lord Hui, this Frederick is the second son of Brundtland, Brundtland has three sons, he is the second, and he is only in his twenties now, and we don't know the other circumstances." Zhuge Fang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know much about this Frederick's situation.
"It's an extraordinary shot. Dare to give up the entire area south of the Salween River at once, it's really willing, hehe! Another fire attack, I think even Kutuzov didn't expect to plant such a big somersault on this little-known fellow. Qin Du couldn't help but smile on his face and said, "Creative, I like it!" ”
"My lord, I wonder if it's time for our plans to change." Zhuge Fangcha looked at the map on the case and said.
"Well, it seems that the plan hasn't changed quickly, so there's no way to change this day." Qin Duan also set his eyes on the map. "The First Legion, for its part, immediately ordered them to cancel the first order and suspend the operation. On our side, we need to do a good job of accounting. I think this Frederick is quite strategic, and will become our fierce rival in the future, but for now we have to support each other, and now the Pasha people still have the absolute upper hand. Once there is a problem on the Western Front, Loulan is still difficult to protect, and the Komini will definitely increase their troops if they can't attack it for a long time, and Kruf has done his best. Looks like it's time for us to put on a show. ”
The two of them looked at each other in the air, and they both showed knowing smiles.
"Chen Deming, look, there is another urgent order, telling us to suspend our actions first. We should be on standby on the spot, pay attention to the situation of all parties in the vicinity, and form an autonomous government in accordance with the original plan. ”
Shangguan Yonglun chewed on the meaning of the short sentences in the order, and handed the order to Chen Deming beside him.
Chen Deming took the order and read it carefully, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a complete overturn of the previous order?" Mom, that, is saying that why would he suddenly ask our class teacher to return to the court, and let us go home before even his feet are steady, so wouldn't our trip be in vain? It's not. It changed immediately, and there must be something famous in it. ”
Wiped the drops of water from his beard. After taking a big sip of tea, Chen Deming turned his gaze to Ling Huyi, who had not opened his mouth, "Yi Shao, what do you think?" ”
Ling Huyi, who was leaning on the door with his back, nodded slightly, and snorted a piece of information on the table with his mouth, "It must be related to the defeat of the Pasha people on the southern front." Otherwise, the Lordship would not have changed the order, and I was a little puzzled by the first order, but now I think that the Lordship may have been worried that our strength was too weak, and if the Pasha and Komini were too obedient, we might be dragged here. ”
"yes. Now that the Pasha people have also fallen into a big somersault, the situation has also changed subtly, and the adults probably want to enter the game again. Shangguan Yonglun put his hands on his back, slowly walked to the window lattice, gently opened the window, and the fragrance of flowers came from the courtyard.
This is a small courtyard owned by a wealthy merchant of the Daqin clan in Shuangduiji, just south of the town, with an elegant environment and convenient transportation, coupled with the warm invitation of this businessman, Shangguan Yonglun is not too good to refute the kindness of others, so he has to move the legion command post here.
The entire Third Army was also stationed on the south side of the Twin Stacks with this as the center, and all the residents of the Twin Stacks were surprised by the fact that the regimental command post had set up tents on the spot for work reasons.
Shuangduiji is located in the heart of the northwest of Loulan, and because the resident population of this area is mainly Cooper and Prici, and the Andean people make up less than one-fifth of the population here, the Loulan government has not built a city in this area for various reasons, but only made it an important commercial and transportation town.
Several other smaller ethnic groups such as the local Coopers, Prits, and Daqins, Indians, and even the Andeans were extremely unhappy about this. Among them, the gentry, merchants, and other influential people, regardless of race, wrote to the Loulan court many times to ask for the construction of a city to promote the development of the local economy, but they were all rejected by the Loulan court, which was also one of the main reasons for the dissatisfaction of the local ethnic groups with the Loulan court.
Long before the Third Army marched into Loulan, Qin Dui had been in contact with the major forces in this area through various channels, and the two major ethnic forces led by the Cooper and the Puriqi had a cautious attitude towards the infiltration of the Qin Dui forces, and never made a clear statement, the reason for which was also that if things changed, Qin Dui's strength would be insufficient to withdraw and retreat, and it would be these local forces that would suffer.
However, several small ethnic groups led by the Great Qin Clan, as well as the Indean Nation, a foreign ethnic group, warmly welcomed the intervention of the Qin Twilight forces and actively cooperated, and when the First Legion entered Shuangduiji, they immediately took the initiative to contact Shangguan Yonglun and them, and brought cattle and sheep wine to condole.
The powerful figures of the Cooper and Pritsy did not come forward until two days after the Third Army was stationed in Shuangduiji, and they received the news that the Loulan court had lost a series of defeats in the south and the Western Front was tight, and they did not have any intention of interfering on this side at all.
Shangguan Yonglun and the others were not surprised by the condescending appearance of the Cooper and the Prits, after all, the interests of the entire nation were at stake, and no one had to repeatedly consider the pros and cons in the middle.
Since it has been determined that the original masters no longer have the ability to control the situation in this region, it is natural for them to show their attitude of cooperation with the Third Army, which is a dragon crossing the river, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure the vested interests of their own nation.
Since the various ethnic groups showed great enthusiasm for the establishment of an autonomous government in just a few days, the work of the Third Army appeared to be relatively smooth, and according to the deployment of Qin Dusk before the army, the Third Army Corps could gradually start to form an autonomous government after it was stationed in Shuangduiji and received the support of the local ethnic groups.
