"Even if you don't have much hope, try to do it!" After an embarrassing hesitation, Qian Yuanji made up his mind, with bitterness and helplessness on his face, and then closed his eyes deeply.

The fastest updated novel He knew that he must be the most unsuccessful one in the history of the Qianyuan royal family, and in the face of the situation in the southeast, he actually had to take the initiative to extend an olive branch to the anti-thieves who wanted to exterminate before...... And pray for the other party's consent!

Only last winter, his city guards were still chasing the wolf bèi and fleeing.

Only two divisions, still hundreds of miles away, easily scared each other back into the mountains.

And now...... This strong gap made Qian Yuanji's heart extremely painful.

But the emperor's mental skill and forbearance still made him make the most beneficial decision for the situation.

"In that case, then send an envoy to Songjiang."

Seeing that His Majesty had already made a decision, Feng Wu no longer objected to the matter of surrendering, but he did not think that this attempt would be successful, so he insisted: "But while sending the envoy, the city guards still have to set off urgently. ”

"Why?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was also recruited to play against him, was a little puzzled, since the South Peak Fortress would be lost anyway, and it was too late for the city guards to rush over, why did he still march east?

Rather than send the city guards to the east in vain, he should immediately go out of Beijing and be assigned to the command of the Zhenxi general Qiantaizhuo, and let him put down the rebellion in the southwest as much as possible, and reintegrate the territory that was about to be swept into the four counties under the rule of the empire.

Otherwise, after losing the taxes of Baling, Tianshui, Xichuan and Longxi for a long time, the empire's finances will face great pressure.

The maintenance of the army there and the pensions for the soldiers who died in the war also further exacerbated the financial difficulties.

The immediate priority now is to free the empire from a multifaceted enemy situation as much as possible.

As long as it can be delayed for a few years, the empire's finances can be restored, and it will not be a problem to regroup the army to defeat the Kingdom of Oman.

"Daqingguan!"

Feng Wu stated his goal, whether the Taiping army defected to the Kingdom of Oman or was surrendered by the empire, they would be absorbed or attacked by the other party.

Daqingguan is too important, with Saladin's eyes, it is impossible not to notice it, and he will definitely try to control it in his hands.

Even if the Imperial City Guards didn't have time to reinforce the Nanfeng Fortress, they would at least have to take Daqingguan back.

In this case, the army of the Kingdom of Oman will be contained in the pass.

The worst-case scenario is nothing more than the loss of the three southeastern counties, but the empire has mastered the Daqing Pass and still has the initiative over the Kingdom of Oman, and can enter the pass at any time to counterattack and drive the Kingdom of Oman out.

"You must be crazy!"

Chen Sansheng shook his head, letting the lightly armed and rapid city guards attack the world's famous fortresses is simply an abuse and waste of this elite and strong army.

But he had to admit that whoever is in the hands of Daqingguan will have the crucial initiative in the next battle.

What Feng Wu said is actually true.

"So be it!"

Qian Yuanji waved his hand a little weakly, and motioned to several confidants and ministers to do what they had discussed.

First, an envoy was urgently sent to Songjiang County to try to recruit the Taiping army, let them hold Songjiang as much as possible, and delay the northward march of the Omani Kingdom.

Even if you can't win each other, you must stabilize the other party as much as possible.

On the other side, the city guards also set off immediately.

As soon as there were signs that Daqingguan had fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Oman, it would immediately send troops to attack it, and decide whether to move further south depending on the situation.

With the issuance of the holy decree, Tang Mingzhe, the commander of the City Guard Corps, was ordered to immediately begin preparations for leaving Beijing, striving to complete the preparations within three days.

Compared with the last time when the two divisions secretly went out of Beijing, this time the actions of the city guards could not be concealed, and hundreds of thousands of troops would all set off.

Zhongzhou, the imperial capital, because of this incident, there was a violent turmoil in both the court and the people.

……… At the same time, Chen Wu, who received the information that Jianhuangling had been breached earlier than the empire, also fell into a shock no less than the center of the empire.

History in "Empire", this moment has changed beyond recognition!

He was very sure that in the server before the crossing, the Kingdom of Oman did not find an opportunity to break through the South Peak Fortress until Leji voluntarily resigned from his post due to old age and infirmity and returned to his hometown to recuperate.

At that time, there were only two or three years left before the complete collapse of the empire.

However, such a conclusive history changed drastically in the second year of his crossing.

So much so that he just received a secret report from the Military Intelligence Department a few days ago, and he almost thought that Gan Xing's subordinates had mistaken the news.

However, the secret reports that came back one after another in the past few days, as well as the more specific details of the night battle, allowed Chen Wu to finally sort out the details of this period of history that had been greatly changed.

The black-clothed guards of the Kingdom of Oman somehow rebelled against a high-ranking officer named Cheng Jiaze - this is unprecedented in history.

At the same time, because the Taiping army disturbed Songjiang and captured Daqing Pass, the Northern Expedition, in which the Kingdom of Oman only mobilized 200,000 soldiers in history, suddenly increased to more than 350,000, and became a nationwide attack.

For two reasons, the Huangling section of the guide zhìjian was lost.

Although the latest information shows that the Tiannan Army is still in a tug-of-war with the army of the Kingdom of Oman.

But Chen Wu could be sure that with the entire defense line already having a hole drilled, it was only a matter of time before the Nanfeng Fortress completely fell.

Maybe a week, maybe half a month, maybe even any time!

This accident, which was definitely beyond his expectations, disrupted all the arrangements of the Taiping army.

Chen Wu was still thinking about how to operate steadily in Songjiang County for a few years, swinging left and right between the empire and the Omani kingdom, and strengthening himself.

Wait until a few years later, when the empire is completely in decline, and then go all out.

But now, before he has even completely captured Songjiang County, there is a possibility that the Nanfeng Fortress will be lost!

The kingdom of Oman is a hungry wolf who catches and bites whom, and eats people without spitting out bones!

Chen Wu was sure that once there was no barrier from the Tiannan Army and the Nanfeng Fortress, the Oman Kingdom would immediately go north.

In the face of their hundreds of thousands of troops, the Taiping army would be powerless to fight back - even if the army of Oman would be severely damaged after defeating the Tiannan army.

But even if it is only half, or even two or three percent, it is a figure that the Taiping Army cannot reach at this stage.

The worst happened.

He couldn't figure out what to do for a while, so he tried to calm himself down first.

It took him half an hour before he figured out what to do at the moment.

First and foremost, seize Dengzhou immediately, and take the whole county of Songjiang first!

With the manpower and material resources of Dengzhou, and this large city comparable to Wu'an, the Taiping army is equivalent to an additional solid stronghold, and can speed up the formation and training of new troops.

It was also of great help to the Taiping Army to completely control the entire Songjiang.

After the fall of Dengzhou, the local hostile elements who still caused trouble for the Taiping army from time to time will also settle down for the time being.

Secondly, try to stop those high-ranking officials and nobles of Tiannan County who are trying to escape.

The convoys of these people, all with astonishing wealth, were mostly in the direction of trying to figure out the retreat of Guò Daqingguan into the safe hinterland of the empire.

If left unchecked, it would be a staggering loss of assets.

On the contrary, if they can be detained to Songjiang County, then these wealth, which is equivalent to half of Tiannan County, will also be left in Songjiang!

Although it may not be equal to the Taiping Army's, the meat rotting in the pot is always of great benefit to the Taiping Army.

Of course, restricting personal freedom and doing something to these dignitaries will undoubtedly trigger a backlash and questions about the Taiping Army.

This requires the Taiping army to grasp the proportions, only detain people and not let them go, but they cannot touch the wealth they bring, and there must be a suitable reason.

There are traitors from the Kingdom of Oman mixed in the caravan, and it seems to be a good reason to have to temporarily detain them and investigate them slowly...... As soon as this brand new order was issued, the people of the Military Intelligence Department immediately got busy and rushed to the border area between Changlu Mansion and Chishang Mansion, and began to monitor and track down those high-ranking officials and nobles who had escaped from Tiannan County.

At the same time, the Daqingguan side and the Qingjiang patrol battalion, and the water and land checkpoints were ordered at the same time, and all the suspected Tiannan County businessmen who brought a large number of finances to leave the customs were all seized and sent to Yuyang Mansion for the time being.

You can entertain well, but you are absolutely not allowed to do it indiscriminately, otherwise the military law will severely punish you!

At this moment, those Tiannan County nobles who ran to Daqingguan in a panic did not know the treatment they were about to encounter.

But the people in Dengzhou City have already taken the lead in feeling the strangeness of things.

Since a few days ago, the thief army suddenly made a big move, blocking the entire Dengzhou and the periphery.

For Dengzhou, which is already very uneasy, this is undoubtedly a sensitive signal.

Everyone is speculating whether the Taiping army outside has lost patience and is ready to storm Dengzhou at any cost.

All kinds of gossip spread wildly in the city, forcing the governor's palace to immediately control it.

However, what made them even more unsettling was yet to come.

As the specific situation on the Tiannan County side came back, Chen Wu made an order to step up the capture of Dengzhou, and the fourth batch of 2,000 soldiers recruited from the closed city, the training of the recruit camp was only half completed, and it was used as a number to make up the number and pulled to the Dengzhou side.

Under this Dengzhou city, the total strength of the Taiping army has exceeded 10,000!

On the same day, the special envoy of the Taiping Army, under the banner of negotiation, swaggered and rode to the city of Dengzhou.

Although the officers and soldiers defending the city were eager to shoot an arrow, no one dared to take the responsibility of provoking the Taiping army when the entire Songjiang was occupied by the other side.

Moreover, the face of the emperor ** people also makes it difficult for them to attack an unarmed messenger.

Soon, the news that the Taiping army took the initiative to send people to negotiate was transmitted back to Dengzhou County.

After Wei Chichang lost his temper fiercely, he finally made a decision to meet with the Taiping Army envoy and listen to what the other party wanted to say.

The Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance, which has been hanging for a while, keenly feels that the Taiping Army seems to be unwilling to spend any more for some reason.

Zhou Tianrui and Chi Kaifeng began to feel anxious.
