Chapter 293: Muddy the Backwaters
"Teacher, you must not be impulsive! Huang Kelong, commander of the 77th Division, and Gao Tan, commander of the 12th Army, are not stupid, and the strength of their two sides is roughly equal. Fan Guiyan, chief of staff of the 98th Division, said.
The implication is that it's not a good time.
"Lao Fan, you're right." Fu Li's eyes narrowed.
"In that case, then why do you want to get involved, Commander?" Fan Gui was puzzled.
"Hehe, that's true, but that doesn't mean it's not an opportunity. Great nephew, what do you say? After Fu Li said half of it, he turned his gaze to Ouyang.
For a while, the eyes of all the people present were all focused on Ouyang.
For them, no one dared to despise Ouyang. Who is Ouyang? That is the most senior general and division commander of the empire at present, and it is a real battle, a position.
"Uncle, and everyone present, Chief of Staff Fan Gui is right, the 77th Division and the 12th Army are indeed bluffing this time, but this is indeed a fighter." Ouyang said slowly.
"Huh?" Suddenly, everyone present was puzzled.
Fan Gui was puzzled: "Senior Ouyang, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Chief of Staff Fan, if we don't send troops, then they will definitely not be able to fight the real fire, but once we move, then this Tan stagnant water will be muddy!" Ouyang said slowly.
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned for more than ten seconds, and then they all reacted one by one.
None of them are stupid, on the contrary, they are smart, and they can understand it at all.
"Oh, what Senior Commander Ouyang said is right, we moved, if we can't make them fight with real fire, it will definitely evolve into a large-scale battle at that time!" Fan Gui, the chief of staff of the division, was immediately happy, and the folds on his face were squeezed out.
"Hahaha!"
Fu Li looked at everyone and waved his hand: "Brothers, my eldest nephew, it's not bad." ”
Not bad?
At this moment, where would the officers present say such things? They had heard of Ouyang's name for a long time, and they also knew that Ouyang was powerful, but this time they just saw it with their own eyes. At the moment, many people present called Ouyang Na a compliment.
"Okay, all of you, all of you will be quiet for a while, and now you have all gathered your forces, and we are ready to go!" Fu Li said loudly.
"Yes, Commander!" The crowd immediately shouted in response.

Junshan City.
Headquarters of the 77th Division.
"Division commander, as you expected, although the 12th Army is menacing, it is indeed thunder and rain, and tens of thousands of troops are deployed at Jieqiao, and only one regiment of 3,000 troops was dispatched to attack the county seat of Jiuhu County." Wang Dingshan, commander of the 322nd Brigade, said respectfully.
"Joyama, that's rightfully so. Who is he Gaotan, do we not know yet? If he is shrewd, he will not make a desperate bet and fight to the death with our army. Huang Kelong, commander of the 77th Division, said with a smile.
As the words fell, several of the other officers present also laughed.
With more than 30,000 troops, the 12th Army is indeed the most powerful of the several warlords in the eastern part of Lianghu Province, but the strength of the 77th Division is not much worse than theirs, and the strength of the army is also more than 20,000 people.
Once it is really dead, the final victory or defeat is not necessarily who wins or loses.
And most importantly, if the 77th Division and the 12th Army are dead, the other warlords in the eastern part of the province will definitely not sit on the sidelines, and will definitely join the battle, which will turn into a huge melee.
This situation, whether it is for Huang Kelong or for Gao Tan, they do not want to see it.
~~~~~
Boundary Bridge.
Military headquarters of the 12th Army of the Don Army.
"Commander, he Huang Kelong is really arrogant enough, knowing that we are attacking on a large scale, he has not carried out a large troop movement, this is underestimating us. The lowly thought that this time he had to be given a little color. A major general officer said loudly.
"Heshan, you're impulsive again."
Gao Tan, the commander of the 12th Army, said this lightly, without a trace of anxiety on his face, and took a sip of tea while speaking.
"But Commander, we are being underestimated!" The major general said anxiously.
"Look? No, no, no, he didn't underestimate us, were you kidding when he was arming troops from several counties around the county seat of Jiuhu County? He understood, and I understood, that this time, he and I were just engaged in a tacit war game. Gao Tan, the commander of the 12th Army, said lightly.
A tacit war game?
As soon as these words came out, some people present understood, but the vast majority of people did not understand.
"Now in the eastern part of Lianghu Province, the strength of our 12th Army should be the first, and his 77th Division of Huang Kelong should be called the second. But in the eastern part of these two lakes provinces, not only our two forces, but also other forces, although their strength is relatively weak, but they are all eyeing each other, so Huang Kelong and I must often have tacit battles. Gao Tan, the commander of the 12th Army, said with a smile.
Suddenly, many people nodded frequently.
Bang!
The major general who was clamoring for a big battle before also slapped his thigh at this moment, and the whole person suddenly realized.
"Commander, I understand, we don't necessarily have to defeat Huang Kelong this time, but through this battle, we want to deter the small people from all directions!" The major general shouted.
"Hmm!" Gao Tan nodded with great satisfaction and took another sip of water.

Meanwhile.
The development of the incident was as Huang Kelong and Gao Tan expected, when they had friction, several other warlord forces around Junshan City were like great enemies.
The county seat of Shuxian County, the headquarters of the Protector Army.
The so-called "Shuxian Protector Army" is actually the name of the 68th Brigade of the original Tang Army, whose commander is Zhang Dafan, a brigadier general of the Imperial Army, with more than 13,000 troops in his hands, and can be regarded as the No. 3 warlord in the eastern region of Lianghu Province.
"Commander, what are we waiting for? The fierce battle between the 12th Army and the 77th Division is not the right time for us to profit, we should take action! A lieutenant colonel officer said anxiously, his face full of joy.
"Put your mother~'s stinky fart!"
Zhang Dafan, the commander of the Shuxian Protector Army, did not agree with the lieutenant colonel's suggestion, but scolded him loudly.
"Commander, what did I say wrong?" The lieutenant colonel scratched his head, very puzzled.
"Of course you're wrong, or I can scold you? Huang Kelong and Gao Tan, the two bastards, where is the fierce battle? They're just making a little fuss and scaring us. If we do send troops, they will turn around and clean us up, believe it or not? Zhang Dafan scolded.
Suddenly, the lieutenant colonel officer smiled awkwardly, and his face turned red.
The county seat of Douxian.
Douxian Security Army Headquarters.
The so-called "Douxian Security Army", in fact, was just a security regiment in Douxian a few months ago, and the commander Shi Yong was only a lieutenant colonel officer. But this Shi Yong has the courage to fight, and after repeated conquests and battles, he has changed and his strength has increased greatly.
It controls as many as 4 counties.
The number of troops has also expanded to more than 10,000 in one fell swoop.
He is now known as the No. 4 warlord in the eastern part of the province of Two Lakes.
"You suggest that I send troops and take the opportunity to seize the territory?"
"You're in a bad brain! Don't look at the fact that we now have tens of thousands of troops, but what kind of combat effectiveness our people have, don't you know? What are the existence of the 77th Division and the 12th Army? Originally, they were all regular troops of the empire, and their weapons and equipment were much better than ours, but we were just a bunch of security regiments and mud legs, where could we afford to provoke them? Shi Yong, the commander of the Douxian Security Army, scolded.
"Huh!"
For a while, the officers of the Douxian Security Army present all laughed one by one.
Around 12 noon.
The 98th Division, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly left Xiaoshan County and launched a fierce attack on Angelica County, Junshan City!
For a while, whether it was the 77th Division and the 12th Army that were fighting, or the surrounding Douxian Security Army and Shuxian Protector Army, they were all shocked.
"It's not good, I forgot about Fu Li, the old fox, he is trying to muddy the water and stab the sky!" The first to react was Huang Kelong of the 77th Division, and no one knew the horror of Fu Li better than him.
The first update of "" was sent.
