Qingchuan Province is located in the northwestern part of the Tang Empire, bordering the Frost Moon Empire.

It is the smallest area in the 12 provinces of Datang, the smallest number of people, and the most barren economic conditions, and more than 8 percent of the land in its territory is a terrain and landform where hills, mountains and forests coexist, with only a small amount of cultivated land and towns.

The overall environment of Qingchuan Province is beautiful, but the transportation conditions are quite underdeveloped.

For example, two towns separated by only 30 kilometers can be reached from one town to the other in just 1 hour on horseback riding, but in fact, because of the mountainous and hilly terrain in the territory, the roads are twists and turns, not to mention that it takes an hour to ride a horse, even if you are given 3 hours, you may not be able to reach it.

The complexity of the topography of Cheongcheon Province can be seen.

In fact, in this seemingly barren land, there is great wealth hidden!

There are abundant coal, oil, iron, copper, gold and other mineral resources below the surface, especially coal and iron are the most abundant, and the reserves of coal and iron that have been surveyed so far are more than three times that of the other 11 provinces of Datang combined!

What do coal and iron resources mean for a country?

This is self-evident!

It represents the war potential of a country!

Therefore, Qingchuan Province, which is sparsely populated and has inconvenient transportation, is actually one of the important provinces of the Tang Empire.

Merchant ship Mir.

It travels on the Jiaolong River and rides the wind and waves.

Taking advantage of this leisure time, Liu Jifeng and Ouyang, like many classmates, stood on the deck and watched the river scenery along the way, and at the same time, Liu Jifeng informed Ouyang of the general situation of Qingchuan Province.

In a word, all questions must be answered!

Liu Jifeng said with a smile: "Ouyang, when we arrive in Qingchuan Province and the 12th Group Army, there will definitely be a time for us to show our talents!" ”

"Oh? You tell us more specifically. ”

Ouyang replied.

"Okay, you Ouyang, how honest you are, why did you learn to pretend to be crazy and stupid when you got out of school, you told me a few days ago, 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning', isn't it the way to stand up? Now you can't tell you about the situation in our Qingchuan Province, you play me. ”

Liu Jifeng gently hit Ouyang in the chest with a punch, originally in a joking state, but when he saw Ouyang's innocent expression, he immediately said in shock: "No, you really don't know what our Qingchuan Province looks like now?" ”

"Hmm!"

Ouyang nodded heavily.

Regarding the current situation in Qingchuan Province, how could Ouyang not understand it at all?

This is just a lie!

However, after all, he is a newcomer, and the information he only got from newspapers and books is the tip of the iceberg after all, where is Liu Jifeng, who was born and raised and has a background in the military, to come thoroughly.

"Okay then, I'll talk to you today."

Liu Jifeng said proudly: "The importance of Qingchuan Province to the empire is needless to say. It is one of the most important components of the empire, one of which is the middle and upper reaches of the Jiaolong River, which is related to national defense and security; Second, the rich mineral resources contained in Qingchuan Province can be said to represent the future war potential of the empire! ”

"But the real situation is not what some whitewashed newspapers reported!"

"In the 181st year of the Gregorian calendar, that is, more than 20 years after the founding of the Tang Empire, the Tang Empire dispatched two group armies, as many as 200,000 troops, to destroy the Qingchuan Dynasty where Qingchuan is located in one fell swoop, and later established it as Qingchuan Province of our Tang Empire!"

Liu Jifeng said in a deep voice: "However, in June 184 of the Gregorian calendar, the neighboring Frost Moon Empire took advantage of the war between our Tang Empire and the Great Jin Empire, and brazenly invaded, not only captured most of the land in Qingchuan Province in just 10 days, but also went down the Jiaolong River to reach our capital Yujing!" ”

"Immediately, the whole country shook!"

"A wail~~!"

"On the occasion of this critical death, the two group armies stationed in the south of the central part of the empire quickly returned to the royal capital, and fought fiercely for more than ten days before they repelled all the enemy forces and began to counterattack Qingchuan Province!"

"But Qingchuan Province has only been under the rule of the empire for a few years, and the terrain is complex and changeable, the two group armies dispatched by the empire have done their best, and they have only recaptured 7% of the land in Qingchuan Province and occupied all the important cities in the territory, but some remote areas of mountain villages and deep mountains are still occupied by the army of the Frost Moon Empire!"

"14 years!"

"Exactly 14 years!"

"The Empire has launched more than 20 attacks, but it has never been able to completely wipe out the enemy forces of the Frost Moon Empire entrenched in the depths of the mountains, and it is still intensifying."

"Although there has not been a large-scale battle between the two armies in the past few years now, the mineral resources and forest resources that we have mined from Qingchuan Province have often been plundered by the Frost Moon Empire, causing huge losses to the empire in terms of manpower and material resources!"

Liu Jifeng smiled at Ouyang and said, "Ouyang, you said that the chaotic Qingchuan Province is now, is it the time for you and my brother to show their talents?" ”

"Hahaha~~!"

Immediately, Ouyang laughed, and at this moment, he only felt that the blood in his whole body was like a volcanic eruption, and the blood was boiling into the sky!

Before, he only considered the topography and the history of the two countries, and he had already judged that Qingchuan Province had a war to fight, but now that he got more information from Liu Jifeng's mouth, he was even more surprised.

"coincides with the chaos of a province, a good man should follow the deeds of Wei Huo, raise thousands of troops and horses, destroy a country under the palm of his hand, and make immortal achievements!"

Ouyang couldn't help himself with excitement in his heart.

If on the earth in the previous life, no matter how strong a country is, it is not easy to destroy a weak country, and even if it is done, it will definitely be followed by endless repression and counter-repression.

Just like the invasion of Vietnam by the United States ~ and the invasion of Afghanistan by the former Soviet Union, it is easy to occupy, but it is extremely difficult to actually occupy and rule!

"However, the blue star I am in now is very different from the earth!"

"More than 500 countries on this planet are a great era of mutual attack!"

"It is not uncommon for the city to change the king's flag!"

"Changes in state power also abound, countless!"

"In the 40 years since the founding of the Tang Empire, from a country with only more than 20 square kilometers, equivalent to the size of the previous river ~ northern province, through iron-blooded expeditions, defeated one country after another, and expanded the size of the border into more than 1.1 million square kilometers of land, although its land area is far less than many countries in Blue Star, ranking 209th, but the Tang Empire has never stopped conquering!"

Ouyang was in his heart: "This time I go to Qingchuan Province, I will create a big era!" ”

"It is not my intention to wait for the general, but I wish to command a million male soldiers, win the battle, conquer the world, and suppress the trillions of people, which is the real hero and the big husband!"

Two full days have passed since the merchant ship Mir set off from Yujing No. 1 Wharf, and finally sailed into the territory of Qingchuan Province on the morning of June 24.

It was only a few dozen miles away from the destination, where the headquarters of the 12th Army of the Reich was stationed.

For a moment, everyone on the boat was excited!

Especially the graduating cadets who were about to enter the army, one by one, they screamed excitedly, eager to join the army immediately and drive all the troops of the Frost Moon Empire out of Qingchuan Province.

Liu Jifeng is excited~~!

But!

At this moment, Ouyang, who was standing at the bow of the boat, looked extremely dignified!

"Something is wrong, something is really wrong!"

"Liu Jifeng, let me ask you that in the past, when you transported newly recruited soldiers to the north, they all took warships, but why did you choose merchant ships this time?"

"What's in here?"

That's not what worries me the most!

What I am worried about is the chaos in Qingchuan Province, and the location where the merchant ships are sailing now, the water is gentle, there are many tributaries, and the two banks are densely forested, this is obviously a very good ambush area!

Ouyang said coldly: "If the army of the Frost Moon Empire hidden in the depths of the mountains suddenly launches an attack on the merchant ships, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

For a while, Ouyang's cold sweat came down.

It's not a bad thing to worry and think about it!

~~~~

"Hahaha~~!"

I didn't want Liu Jifeng to laugh out loud, "Ouyang, you are mistaken, the guerrillas of the Frost Moon Empire will indeed sneak attack our merchant ships from time to time, but they will only sneak attack merchant ships loaded with goods and leave from Qingchuan Province, not merchant ships like us that go to Qingchuan Province." ”

"The people of the Frost Moon Empire are shrewd, and they don't trade at a loss."

"At least in the past few years, there has never been a precedent for enemy troops to plunder our merchant ships in this place not far from the garrison of our 12th Army!"

Liu Jifeng laughed and said, "Therefore, your worries are completely unnecessary!" ”

The people around who heard this also laughed one after another, saying words such as "yes", "yes", "definitely not", and so on.

"Really?" Ouyang Hu nodded suspiciously.

~~~~~

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes have passed.

The merchant ship Mir is still safe and sound!

But the worry in Ouyang's heart has not diminished in the slightest, and this uneasiness has intensified!

"Boom~~~!"

At this moment, a thunderous sound exploded!

A cannonball suddenly exploded on the channel where the merchant ship was advancing, setting off a huge wave that soared more than 30 meters into the sky.

In an instant, the faces of everyone on the ship changed in shock!

Ouyang's pupils shrank suddenly!

"Enemy Attack~~!"

"The enemy is really coming~~!"

The second update of the book says, war has come, have the brothers ever prepared to fight the enemy to the death?

This book is less than 20,000 words, and it has been received from the signing station, do you want to vote to celebrate!
