Zhang Huizi returned to Xiang Ningxuan three days later. She Ge You lay on the sofa and said, "According to the information I have traced, this Blood God Cult has been transmitted from the Liangzhou Province next door. The blood ancestor did not come, only the blood mother came to preach. However, the blood mother belongs to the rat and runs fast. I only caught a few trash fish. ”

"Assign a team of elite team members to me, and the old lady will go to their lair!"

Liangzhou is in the northwest of Yongzhou, and Xiang Ningxuan is now also the deputy commander of the Westward Advance Group Army, and sooner or later he will march into Liangzhou. It is also necessary to send a small detachment first.

However, he thought for a moment and said, "You can stay here and help me for now, and I'll send someone else." ”

"Why?" Zhang Hunzi threw a wink and said, "Do you want to ......, don't~"

Xiang Ningxuan pouted and said, "Your body of fresh meat, go to Liangzhou, and people will smell it from afar." Then he then instructed Goskey, "Go and call Lillian Wirth." ”

There are many desert Gobi deserts in Liangzhou, sparsely populated, and the breath of living people is very obvious to the Blood God Cultists. It's better to let the undead scouts led by Lillian go.

Zhang Hunzi has no opinion on this arrangement. It is indeed a good idea to use the undead without blood to deal with the blood god.

"Where are our troops?"

Gao Siqi said: "The main force led by Deputy Commander Shen has been assembled in northern Hubei and is preparing supplies and is expected to arrive in Yongzhou in about 20 days. ”

The main force of the Longxiang Army led by Shen Tao totaled 20,000 people, although the number was not large, it was the most elite force of the Longxiang Army except for the elite regiment. In expeditionary operations, logistics is the biggest problem, and the fewer the number of people, the better.

They were originally fighting in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, where several large cities had basically restored order and were more than capable of self-preservation.

However, there are still many powerful alien races entrenched around, especially the primeval and deep Shennongjia, where it is said that god-level creatures have appeared.

These alien races, entrenched in the deep mountains and valleys, come out from time to time to fight the autumn wind, which seriously affects the traffic.

Shen Tao didn't expect to wipe them all out, so he could only pick one of the more rampant ones and cut them down fiercely first, so that they could be honest for a while. After receiving the order to march into Yongzhou, the battle that should be fought could not be abandoned halfway, so he could only pick a soft persimmon and beat it, and then withdraw the army to the north, so the time was delayed for a long time.

In addition, the newly recruited werewolf and night elf troops have been assembled at headquarters, and the convoy will be able to pick them up when they return. It takes more than 20 days to go back and forth.

Xiang Ningxuan asked again: "Gao Siqi, has Zhou Chenglin been contacted over there?" ”

"Deputy Commander Zhou is reorganizing the army in Nanzheng."

"He is limited to mobilize 30,000 regular troops to assemble in the south of Xianyang within 20 days."

It only takes 20 days for Shen Tao to come from Hubei Province, and it makes no sense that Zhou Chenglin will need longer. In addition, tens of thousands of troops from the northern part of Yongzhou and the central government will also arrive soon. At that time, 100,000 troops will gather in Xianyang and will occupy an overwhelming advantage.

Xiang Ningxuan didn't want to delay in Yongzhou for too long, after the troops understood it, he would annihilate the Qin army with a thunderbolt and recapture Xianyang.

Now, the question to consider is how to reduce the casualties of civilians in Xianyang City.

————

The troops were still gathering, and Xiang Ningxuan had nothing to do for the time being, so he decided to go to the Hetao area first to meet General Chen Yuheng, commander of the Westward Advance Group Army.

The westward expansion plan was not proposed by Xiang Ningxuan, nor was it something he could complete alone, but the grand strategy of the entire country.

After the apocalypse, the situation stabilized a little, and the Executive Council of the Republic drew up a plan for three horizontal and three vertical lines of communication.

Of the three longitudinal lines, the eastern line is naturally the eastern coastal area, which has now been basically completed. The middle and longitudinal lines are the first line of Sijiu City, Shangdu, Jiangcheng, Yuelu and Huadu. The west line is the first line of grassland Yunzhong City, Xianyang, Rongcheng and Chuncheng.

Among the three horizontal lines, the northern line is the first line from Fengtian, Sijiucheng, Yunzhong, Jincheng and Dihua. The Zhongheng Line is along the Yellow River, and Xiang Ningxuan came for this. The southern route is along the Yangtze River, and the waterway and land routes from the middle to the lower reaches have been kept smooth, but there are still many troubles going upstream.

At present, the central and eastern regions are densely populated, there are more people than strangers, the economy and military strength are strong, and the communication lines have been almost restored.

The vast western region is vast and sparsely populated, and humans are divided into settlements by wild monsters. It is difficult to open up the communication lines of the settlements without relying on external forces.

The top of the republic has long been aware of this. A long time ago, he ordered General Chen Yuheng to set up a westward group army to prepare for the western region.

The biggest problem with westward expansion is not the number of troops, but the logistics of how many troops can be supported. The first thing Chen Yuheng did after taking over was not to lead troops to fight, but to carve out a piece of land as a logistics base. This is the vast and fertile Hetao area.

Before Xiang Ningxuan joined the Westward Advance Group Army, a total of 300,000 people from the three agricultural reclamation corps under his jurisdiction had already entered the Hetao one after another to pacify the alien beasts and reclaim the land.

When Xiang Ningxuan took a plane to the headquarters of the Westward Advance Corps, he saw the endless vast plains crisscrossing and crisscrossing the country, and thousands of acres of fertile land exuding vitality.

It was the first time Xiang Ningxuan had seen such a large agricultural scene. Although the Jiangnan area produces a lot of grain, due to the dense population, the farmland is often divided into small pieces by residential roads, and it is difficult to see such a wide scene.

It's the height of summer, and the crops stretch their leaves, absorb the energy from the sun, and store it in their bodies to give birth to their seeds. By the time of the autumn harvest, there will be enough grain to supply the western provinces.

At that time, the main force of the Westward Advance Corps will march westward, and some of the non-combatants of the Construction Corps will also follow up with supplies and camp on the spot.

In the land that has not had time to be cultivated, herds of horses, cattle and sheep run among them, foraging for food and breeding.

The people of the Construction Corps are busy pesting insects and weeds in the fields. Due to the influence of psionic energy, insects and weeds have evolved rapidly, and traditional pesticides have become effective, and a lot of manpower and material resources must be invested to fight the enemies of these crops.

The total number of 300,000 troops in the three construction corps sounds like a lot, but it is only enough to develop and utilize a small part of the land in the Hetao area.

The Republic attaches great importance to the westward expansion strategy. In addition to the three agricultural reclamation corps in the Hetao area, there was also Jinlu City, the iron and steel center on the grassland, and there was also an engineering corps responsible for the production of industrial supplies, and another engineering corps specifically responsible for road construction and infrastructure construction. Each corps is around 100,000 men, and the non-combat troops are 500,000 in total.

As for the combat units, there were three cavalry divisions and five infantry divisions with a total of 120,000 men. Although there are a lot of troops, the territory to be defended is larger than the entire Gangdong Province, and there are not many troops that can maneuver.

Now the Longxiang Army has also been incorporated into the Westward Advance Group Army, making its combat power soar. The Longxiang Army is a rapid reaction force, and as a mobile force, it can be quickly deployed to fight in various places.

The basic division of labor was that the Longxiang army fought in the front, and most of the westward group army followed behind to build roads and farm fields and provide logistical supplies.
