The wide official road rolled up the yellow dust in the sky, and from a distance, a large army with no end in sight was rapidly advancing southward, and it could be seen from the uniforms of the sergeants that they all belonged to the regular army of the Heathrow Empire, such a large scale, at least more than one corps, and its intention to go south was not asked.

Su Qin's guess was not wrong, as early as the day before his visit, Li Yuanhui, who had received the news that someone from Tokugawa would be visiting, sensed that the situation might change in a direction that was not in his favor, and his eldest brother's recent appearance also made him quite dissatisfied, first of all, he strengthened the expansion of the northern Ganlan fortress, which caused strong dissatisfaction among his close allies on his side, the Sislos.

And he actually withdrew the Second Garrison Division back to Fucheng, but let his First Garrison Division go to garrison Ganlan Fortress, which is obviously distrustful of himself, but he has no other way, after all, the prestige of the eldest brother in Lishan County is much higher than his own, in addition to his own garrison division itself has a certain influence, the officers of the other two garrison divisions are incompatible with him.

Seeing that his eldest brother's physical condition is deteriorating, he has never been clear who will replace him as the next county guard, especially the recent cousin Xiàn makes him feel that his idea of serving as a county guard will be in vain, and the position of county guard is likely to fall into the hands of Zhou Tinggui, who has always been against him, which he absolutely cannot tolerate.

He has spent a lot of effort for the position of county guard, at least many of the government officials have clearly expressed their willingness to support him for the position of county guard, it may not be these government officials who dominate this issue, in addition to the opinions of his eldest brother, the opinions of the other two division commanders are also very important, but those two guys are the henchmen of the eldest brother, and the opinions of the eldest brother are followed, and they can't do their work at all.

But his eldest brother turned his elbow outward. Without considering his own feelings at all, he has the intention of giving up the position of county guard to outsiders, how can he be willing? After getting the support of General Ou Ye, the commander of the Nuremberg garrison of the Sithroes, Li Yuanhui's heart was settled, and with the support of the Sithroes, Li Yuanhui was very sure that he would be able to get the position of county guard. After all, he still has a relationship with Lishan County, in addition to his own first garrison division in the army, even if the commanders of those two divisions oppose him, it is unlikely that he will really fight with his own troops, and there are also forces in those two divisions and regiments to support him, plus the support of the Siathrows, once on the right, even if the eldest brother does not want to give way to himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to, the only thing to worry about is how much influence the eldest brother still has in the three divisions. This is also the reason why Li Yuanhui has not dared to act rashly.

However, news came from his own work in Fucheng that the envoy of Qin Dusk in the northwest would come to Lishan County to visit the county guard, and it was said that he was visiting the sick county guard.

This news immediately shocked Li Yuanhui's heart, thinking of his eldest brother's various expressions in recent times, and now Zhou Tinggui, who is in charge of government affairs, is obviously inclined to the Great Qin Empire, Li Yuanhui dares to conclude that as soon as the envoy of Qin Dui arrives, something unfavorable to him will inevitably happen, thinking of this, he did not dare to slack off, and sent someone to Nuremberg overnight to deliver the news. I hope to get the support of General Ouye. Ou was overjoyed when he received the news, and immediately personally led the main force stationed in Nuremberg, the 101st Corps, to the south. and continued south after joining up with Li Yuanhui's Lishan County 1st Garrison Division at Ganlan Fortress.

"Lord Li, it is now less than a hundred kilometers away from the county seat of Lishan, and we will be able to enter the city in five hours, why is there no news from your people?"

With a cold look, a bearded halberd, and a pair of thick black eyebrows, leopard eyes always flashed with a light that seemed to be about to grab people. He was the commander-in-chief of the Sithloian Empire's army at Nuremberg, General Ouye, and he was also a well-known heavyweight in the entire Sithlo Empire's military circles, otherwise he would not have sent such an important position as a commander of artillery.

"General Ouye, you must be a little too anxious, we are going south so fast. I'm afraid that even the people in the city have not received any news, and as for my men, please rest assured that they will send someone to contact me as soon as there is any trouble. Li Yuanhui rode forward, pretending to be calm and calm on the surface, but there was also a trace of anxiety in his heart, it stands to reason that someone should come to report, is there something going on?

"I hope so, I hope this time it can be done once and for all, and there will be no accidents in between."

Ou Ye was not satisfied with Li Yuanhui's answer, but he was helpless, because this military operation came suddenly, he didn't even have time to ask his boss for instructions, but the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come, even if it is worth taking some risks, if this Lishan County can infiltrate, it will be of great help to the empire to the south, thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneak a glimpse of the commander of the Ganlan Fortress who was riding parallel to him - Li Yuanhui, the commander of the First Garrison Division of Lishan County, This guy's request this time was really just right, if it weren't for the news from the spy on his side, he even wondered if the other party was joining forces with Qin Dui to calculate his own side.

Due to the hurry, Ou Ye and Li Yuanhui had to leave behind about 40,000 infantry, and led the cavalry to quickly go south, as long as they entered Lishan County, Ou also believed that with the existing strength and Li Yuanhui's influence in Lishan County for many years, he could control the situation, even if Li Yuancheng wanted not to give way to Li Yuanhui, and his own garrison could also be stationed in Lishan County to assist Li Yuanhui in stabilizing the situation, as for what will happen in the future, who can say now?

Qin Dui, who got Su Qin's urgent report, was overjoyed, it was a good thing to be able to solve the problem of Lishan County in one fell swoop, not only could it greatly relieve the pressure from the north, but the most important thing was to complete the unification of the northwest from the form to the substance, this was originally Qin Duan's dream idea, if he could complete the battle, it would be of great help to himself in the future and even in the future.

When the Fifth Division of the Second Army received Qin Dui's urgent order, it was already in the border area between Lishan County and Northwest County, and the experienced Mi Dahong had been reorganizing the army and practicing martial arts since it was reorganized into the Fifth Division of the Second Army Corps, trying to raise the combat effectiveness of the troops to a higher height in the shortest possible time, and at the same time hoping to have a real war to defend the honor of the Fifth Division of the Second Army Corps, so that other troops could see the strength of the Fifth Division of the Second Army Corps.
