A series of military victories did not make Wufeng get carried away, but the recovery of Lulong, Longdong and Xikang did greatly alleviate the strategic situation in which Wufeng was located, and the acquisition of the three places made Wufeng have a more obvious advantage in the front line of the Taiping army, especially the recovery of Longdong made Wufeng feel a little more stable even sleeping with his own woman, and no longer had to worry about the Taiping army closing the door to its eastward advance, making it difficult for him to interfere in the situation in the Central Plains.

But with the recovery of the three places also brought corresponding pressure, the situation in Xikang is good to say, after signing an armistice and an agreement with the Lang family and the exchange of prisoners, the situation here quickly calmed down, with the orderly development of the clean-up movement, with the support of the local gentry led by Zhong Wenjing, a large number of business gentry who were well connected with the Taiping Sect were thrown into prison, and the iron-fisted means plus the combination of grace and power, Wufeng turned Xikang Mansion into a private territory like an iron bucket in a short period of time, which was represented by Zhong Wenjing The Zhong family and several other surnames of the Guanxi Wang clan played a major role。 The recovery of Jianmen Pass has left Xikang without the pressure of the east, the only thing worth worrying about is only the south, although an armistice agreement has been signed, but it is difficult to determine how effective this alliance under the city is, especially in the case that the strength of the Lang family has a considerable advantage over the northwest side, even though the military strength has been quite tight, Wufeng still has to carefully place the second division of the reading force in Xikang, after all, the city of Xikang has been dilapidated for a long time, and it will take a lot of time to repair and expand in a short time.

Lu Long's recovery is of course a good thing, but in the face of the direct threat from the main force of the Taiping army from the east, the situation of Lu Long is also very tight, although the Taiping army that lost Lu Long has not dared to easily move west to provoke a war, but a large number of spies and sentinels are spying on Lu Long's reality at any time, which makes Ling Tianfang also feel a headache, like Xikang, Lu Long is also an easy place to attack and uncomfortable, this division seems to be a little weak here, but if you want to put more Ling Tianfang and feel overstretched, Wufeng will the entire northwest and north including Taixuan, Lu Long, The defense of Guide and Nanjieluo was all lost to him, facing the double pressure from the Kaman and the Taiping Army, Ling Tianfang was also unwilling, after several considerations, Ling Tianfang boldly transferred a wing of the Second Garrison Division of Taixuan Mansion to be stationed in Guide, and the Guide Garrison Division was directly sent to Lu Long as a regular army, plus Mi Feng's Lu Long's garrison division, there were two divisions of troops in charge, Ling Tianfang could barely put his mind at ease, but in his opinion, the northeast defense line he was guarding was already very fragile, whether it was Nanjieluo or Taixuan or Lu Long, it was quite weak, especially he did not have a sufficient reserve in his handsAs soon as there was an emergency at that point, the east wall had to be demolished to make up the west wall. But if there is danger on both sides or even three sides, he can only look up to the sky and sigh in vain.

Although the east is the area controlled by the ally Situ Jun, but the north is the nest of the Taiping army, and Wu Feng in order to maintain the mobile force, it is only the third army of the Northwest Army in Longdong, such a vast defense area does not have a capable mobile reserve, it is simply unimaginable, even Wu Feng has to admit that this situation is too dangerous, fortunately, Cui Wenxiu's reading power of the first cavalry division has returned to the northwest to rest for a long time, in order to strengthen the emergency force, Wu Feng finally agreed to send the only cavalry division in his hands to Guide, which is enough to deal with the three sides, this made Ling Tianfang breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the empire is full of wars throughout the year, it seems that all the princes have entered the winter break, and the tension has eased rarely.

The Taiping army that occupied the Heshuo area may have been busy digesting the gains, or was shocked by the defeat in Kansai, in short, it was unusually quiet, except for constantly strengthening the city defense facilities and adjusting the defense of the troops, there was no major action, and even the two sides of the confrontation in Qinghe Mansion also invariably retreated thirty miles to disengage, which made people even more suspicious of what the city guard army was fighting in mind. The empire also got a rare opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, the third and fourth legions were formed as quickly as possible, in addition to integrating the remnants of the two legions in the Battle of Heshuo, almost all the graduates of the Emperor's [***] Academy of Affairs this year were enriched into the two legions that were being formed, and the soldiers recruited from Yanjing City were directly sent to the barracks of the two legions that had just been established without even simple basic training, and the order issued by the new Minister of War, Duke Jilin, was concise and to the point:" The exercise of blood and fire on the battlefield is the fastest and best way for a soldier to grow. ”

However, the south of the empire was not quiet, and in northern Romania, skirmishes between the Maqi Khans and the Lin army were still daily, and a so-called "national self-defense army" suddenly appeared in the long-dormant Yuejing region Once they encountered the Maqi Khans sending a large army to encircle and suppress, they quietly infiltrated the Lin family or the area controlled by the Five Lakes Empire to make the Maqi Khans helpless, which has become a nightmare for the Maqi Khan garrison in Yuejing.

Song Tianxiong stared coldly at the city in front of him, the majestic man next to him was Xiong Daoyuan, the commander of the Third Division of Reading Force, a military general with Gaoyue blood, the huge and heavy horse chopping knife hanging on his waist was particularly dazzling, but this powerful brave general did not feel that this was a burden, in the eyes of ordinary people, the old horse chopping knife that was too heavy in his eyes was very handy, even Song Tianxiong had to admire these natural talents are really the best choice for professional soldiers, if they were allowed to be farmers or workshop workers, it would be too wronged for them。

Xiong Daoyuan instructed the officers of the wing below to pay attention to the location of the camp and arrange a night guard, and at the same time formed the camp of his five wings into a five-cornered plum blossom shape, and his own handsome battalion and directly subordinate brigade were set up in the middle, and it also echoed the camp of the Guards Division, Song Tianxiong looked at the other party giving orders in a serious manner, and couldn't help but snicker secretly. Even in the routine observation in front of the position, Xiong Daoyuan still held a copy of the "War Strategy" written by the famous military strategist Cao Ying in the former dynasty, and his thirst for military theory has made the division commander almost devoured alive in his study, when he learned that he had graduated from the Emperor's [***] Affairs College, he came to ask for advice if he had nothing to do, Song Tianxiong began to answer patiently, and later saw the other party coming with a book and quietly left, or just avoided in the name of having other important things.

"Brother Song, look, how many days have it been, why haven't the two of them talked about it yet? Are we just stupid and stay here in a daze?" The strong man with a very nasal voice spoke in an urn voice, and his red face gave people a hint of warmth even in winter.

"Hehe, of course this can't be discussed, who is willing to give up such a fat piece of land, if it is me, I will not do it. Song Tianxiong replied with a smile, "This Hanzhong is the land of fish and rice in Kansai." ”

"Since you can't talk about it, it's better to speak with strength, whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak, what's the point of grinding here all the time, it's better to fight happily, and end up happy. The strong man grinned and said, "Grinding their mouths like old ladies, I don't know how they can get to this point." ”

"Hehe, but Daoyuan, do you see these guys in the city? In three days, the two heads sent people to find out the truth, nominally to descend the table, but they want our three parties to have a unified surrender party, this is not intended to provoke contradictions or what? I'm afraid that they will not want us to make a fuss, it is best to have a civil strife, let them take advantage of the fishermen, these three parties are two divisions, the strength is equal, see who can have the last laugh, I am afraid it will only be in vain to cheapen the gang of chaotic parties. I heard that Feng Qi has no ability to fight, but he is quite good at playing tricks, he has a deep enough grasp of the current psychology of the Lin Lang family, if you don't talk about being ugly, he won't easily show his attitude. Song Tianxiong sneered and glanced at the south, and in the distance he could faintly see the continuous camp tents, flying flags, and from time to time there were sentry horses passing through the open space in front of his camp, which was the scout of the Lang family.

"Fortunately, Master Li asked us not to intervene, let's stay here honestly, anyway, no matter who has the upper hand on either side of them, we have to leave a share, and this Hanzhong is not a single one, and no one can swallow it alone. I want to squeeze our northwest out of the world, hehe," the strong man straightened his chest and didn't say any more.

"My lord is reluctant to make most enemies at this time, otherwise, hum," Song Tianxiong also reserved half a sentence, he vaguely knew that there was a special inhumane relationship between his master and Lin Yuexin of the Lin family, but his master had never said it to outsiders, and it seemed that even a few confidantes who stayed in Qingyang didn't seem to know about it, of course, this problem was not something that his subordinates could consider, but he believed that his master's mind would not be bothered by these trivial things.

Song Tianxiong didn't say anything more, he covered his eyes and squinted, the three-legged blue bird flag on the head of the city was still hanging high, but it looked a little listless, and even the patrol soldiers rarely saw it, probably because the army was already discouraged, just waiting for the final surrender, the city gate was still closed, the cold winter north wind swirled from the wilderness under the city wall, the dry grass trembled in the howling cold wind, and the ground that was occasionally lifted up exposed black-brown soil, showing the fertility of the land.

This is Hanzhong, surrounded by four mountains, but in the middle is an endless fertile land, no wonder known as the granary of Kansai in the west of the Jiangnan, anyone who sets foot on this land is not willing to go back, this is indeed a difficult choice, for the Lin family and the Lang family who want to go north, I am afraid that it is more difficult.
