Chapter 1135: Pressure
The Panshi Battalion rushed to Xiangyang, which raised the tension between Zhululing and Jingzhou Mansion to a new stage.
It was clear to everyone what it meant to dispatch the Rock Battalion when the North Camp was blocked by the Dock Fort Wall.
The rock camp does not have the status and privileges of Beiying, Beiying can live in the manor, enjoy the food of the Cai family, and confront the Cai family calmly, and no one dares to touch a single hair of the Beiying easily. The Rock Battalion does not have this privilege, and the only task of the Rock Battalion expedition is to fight, turn verbal intimidation into real threats, and complete the dirty work that is inconvenient for the legendary troops to do for the North Battalion, such as killing.
With the quality of Cai's private soldiers, it is impossible to be the opponent of the princes.
The day the Panshi Battalion arrived in Xiangyang may be the time when the Cai family will never recover.
If the two sides can't reach a compromise before things get completely out of control, there may soon be a special event that will take place when the player forces attack the Maisons for the first time. Considering that the Zhulu Territory is the territory of the princes, and the Cai clan is the number one prestigious clan in the country, once the Cai Clan is broken by the Zhulu Army, it is bound to cause an uproar in the game, and may even rewrite the way players and NPCs get along from now on.
Soon after the Panshi battalion drilled into the mountains, a Liangzhou iron cavalry appeared in Guangchengguan.
Guangcheng Pass, located in the territory of Yin, Henan, is the southernmost pass of Luoyang Eight Passes, close to Jingzhou and Yuzhou, when Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, Luoyang City was burned, most of the eight passes of the arch guard capital were abandoned, only the Hangu Pass in the west of Luoyang still retains the garrison, to prevent the Kwantung princes from directly attacking Chang'an.
The sudden appearance of the Liangzhou army in Guangchengguan immediately aroused the high vigilance of the neighboring Kwantung princes.
A certain player legion in Chang'an City suddenly became busy, and received more than a dozen urgent reports from players in a short period of time, all of which were princes asking why the Liangzhou army appeared in Guangcheng Pass. The Liangzhou army replied in a unified manner: This operation is to assess the possibility of the reactivation of Luoyang Baguan, and has no other intentions, and hints that only 2,000 iron cavalry were dispatched this time, which is not worth worrying about, please do not overinterpret the princes.
The reply of the Liangzhou army was generally considered by the princes to be an excuse.
First of all, the eight passes defend Luoyang, Luoyang was burned to ruins, what is the point of restarting the eight passes? Could it be that your Liangzhou Army still dares to re-enter Luoyang? Even if the Kwantung princes don't squeak, what can you do when you go to Luoyang? A large number of broken walls and ruins, not to mention that there is no tax revenue, self-sufficiency cannot be done, and it has to rely on the rear for continuous blood transfusion, when will the Liangzhou army have spare money to go to waste?
Secondly, even if the Liangzhou army had the intention to expand to the east and return to Luoyang, it should theoretically be near first and then far, and gradually expand. In order to avoid overstimulating the Kwantung princes, and considering the military value and logistical difficulty, the best choice should be the Yique Pass, which is far away from the Kwantung princes, and it is not easy to cause countermeasures to invade and occupy. The Liangzhou military house is near and far, and runs to the southernmost Guangcheng Pass, not afraid of taking too big a step and pulling the egg?
Looking at the location of Guangchengguan again, the princes understood.
Dozens of miles to the south of Guangchengguan is the boundary of Jingzhou.
Dare to cheer for the deer again......
Cheer and cheer, why are you looking for an excuse that those ghosts don't believe in you? It makes everyone nervous for a long time......
So the princes died down one by one, leaving Jingzhou Mansion alone to look at the direction of Guangcheng Pass and tremble.
The two thousand iron cavalry could not capture Jingzhou, and neither could the Zhulu army, but it represented the attitude of the Liangzhou army, that is, the Liangzhou army firmly supported the Zhulu Territory, at least in the position of the Yan family's public case. If the situation continues to erode, it cannot be ruled out that the Liangzhou army will move south, drink the horse river, and intervene in the investigation of the Yan public case in the name of the central government, and it makes sense from a legal point of view. Of course, in view of today's general trend, the probability of the Liangzhou army coming over is very small, but even if there is only a small possibility, the Jingzhou government does not dare to ignore it.
Putting aside Cai's huge suspicion in the Yan case, the Liangzhou Army actually doesn't have to be entangled in the public case, and compared with Chen Bingyi's border practice not long ago, the Jingzhou Mansion or Cai's delay in reopening the Western Trade Road can be blatantly helped. The Jingzhou government will naturally be very careful in dealing with similar situations, and try to avoid giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The Jingzhou government cannot admit in the face of external pressure.
The Jingzhou army moved quickly and dispatched troops from nearby famous cities to Luyang to assemble to guard against the southward movement of the Liangzhou army. These famous city troops are all foot soldiers, if the Liangzhou army really goes south, the infantry can only eat the dust raised by the cavalry, but the purpose of the Jingzhou government is also to show its attitude, that is, the will to never allow the Liangzhou army to meddle in the affairs of Jingzhou, and bet that the Liangzhou army will not easily cross the thunder pool because it is afraid of the Kwantung princes.
As soon as the troops were sent to Jingbei to guard against the Liangzhou army, there was another change in Jingxi.
Badong County mobilized troops and camped on the border adjacent to Wuling County, claiming that it was a normal field training for the troops, but it had just encountered the threat of pressure from the Liangzhou army, and the Jingzhou government obviously would not be naïve to believe Badong's words, and characterized it as another small move to chase the deer leader. Since the Badong Army was in fact in its own area and did not cross the border, Jingzhou could not blame the other side, so it had to strictly order Wuling County to pay close attention to the movements of the Badong Army and actively prepare for war.
When the Jingzhou government was discussing whether to reinforce Wuling, Liu Biao received a secret report from the Cai family.
Cai Mao said: According to reliable sources, Badong did send troops at the request of Yu Buzhi to put pressure on Jingzhou, although Zhao Bu agreed in the way, but because Ba County obtained the autonomous status and did not pull Badong, Zhao Bu faced the end of the five-year period, had to face the pressure of Yizhou Mansion alone, and had a lot of complaints about Yu Buzhi, this time the response to the army was purely a false story, asserting that Jingzhou Fu did not have to invest more energy in the west.
Cai's news came from the Avengers, the player legion that cooperated with Padang County, described in detail Zhao's anger, helplessness and entanglement, and even said the camp period of the field training force, which would retreat in half a month. This time node coincides with the time point of the arrival of the Rock Battalion in Xiangyang speculated by the Avengers. The purpose of the Zhulu Army is also about to come out, that is, to try to create the illusion of an alliance against Jingzhou, and force the Jingzhou government to relax on the issue of the Yan case and punish the Cai family.
Liu Biao was still suspicious at first, and hired a number of player legions to investigate the Badong Army, and the results of the investigation showed that the Badong Army in the field training was simply herding sheep, without any intention of fighting, and the soldiers couldn't stand the mosquitoes in the wild, and they complained one by one, and asked to end the training early and return to the city as soon as possible, and the main general was in a state of anxiety......
Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and stopped sending reinforcements to Wuling.
However, the episodes in Jingbei and Jingxi seem to indicate that the situation is gradually sliding to the brink of conflict.
Whether or not a conflict occurs depends on whether the negotiations can make progress.
The high-risk node of the outbreak of the conflict is mostly the time from Panshiying to Xiangyang.
Countless people were waiting with bated breath, waiting for the Rock Camp to appear.
At this time, the eastern part of China ushered in uninvited guests.
A large number of Japanese sailors appeared in the coastal areas, destroying and plundering coastal villages and towns.
