Chapter 3 Sweeping Liuhe Chapter 2 Iron Horse Binghe Section 73 Overstretched
readx;
Wu Feng has been hesitating about which side of the trouble to solve first, the Liboa people are undoubtedly the most difficult bone to gnaw, to delay until September and October after their countries get another bumper grain harvest it is purely to increase their strength, Wu Feng does not want to see this, but if you want to launch an attack on the Liboa countries now, Wu Feng is not very sure in his heart, any one of the Liboa countries has a decisive force, and it is conceivable that if you want to solve them completely, Wu Feng thinks that it is necessary to prepare for two or three years of continuous war, and there are too many things that may happen in two or three years, especially in the south, where there are still Macedhans and the Nanyang Alliance on the side, this is even more difficult.

Now the weather is obviously not very suitable, the Maqi Khans have a strong cavalry combat power in the homeland, and it is not easy for the emperor [***] team to gain the upper hand by relying on infantry alone, all of which makes it difficult for Wufeng to make a sudden decision. This is also the main reason why he recruited Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu to return to Beijing.
Wu Feng had already turned back and forth in his study for a decade or two, shaking the eyes of the people in the room a little dazzled, Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu exchanged glances, obviously His Majesty the Emperor was very cautious on this issue, this would be a battle that would decide the fate of the empire, and it might even affect the survival of the empire.
"Do you mean to do it to the Macedhans first, and get rid of the Macedhans?" Wufeng's thick eyebrows were deeply locked, and he held the colored pen in his hand and kept shaking circles on his fingers.
"Your Majesty, we don't expect to completely solve the Macedhans in a battle, after all, their cavalry still occupies a considerable advantage in the Macedhans themselves, and we can't use our own shortcomings to fight the enemy's strengths, but this region of Ronnesia is different, most of this area is mountainous, and the cavalry strength of the Macedhans can't play a role at all, and Ronnesia and our Sanjiang, The two counties in central and southern China border, the terrain is complex, providing a good opportunity for our mountain troops to fight, the second army should play their special combat power in this battle, take Ronnesia can form an arc-shaped encirclement of Yuejing, the Maqi Khan people have to draw heavy troops to station here, it is estimated that the climate has turned cold at that time, our cavalry force can also go south, and the Yuejing Plain can also become a touchstone to test the emperor's [***] team and the Maqi Khan army, to see who is the real king's army. ā
As the right envoy of the Imperial Privy Council, Bo Jinchen also figured out Wufeng's thoughts quite clearly, "Jinchen talks about your ideas. Wu Feng finally sat back on the throne, it should be said that he had accepted Bo Jinchen's opinion, but he still needed to consider the possible accidents on both the north and the south, and ensure that once the war began, it must be won.
"Sooner or later, the Maqi Khans will have a war with us, and now they are building a canal from Yuejing to the Maqi Khan mainland, once this canal is completed, the connection between Yuejing and the Maqi Khan will be closer, and it will also play a great role in integrating the economies of the two places, and the strength of the Maqi Khans will also have a leap forward, and the improvement of the national strength of the Maqi Khans will definitely give them more strength to support the war, so I think that we must weaken the Maqi Khans before the completion of the strategic canal of the Maqi Khans will play an effect, at least we will recover the land that the Maqi Khans originally seized, Ronnesia is only our initial goal, while ensuring that Ronnesia is taken, we should also consider solving the three places of Yuejing, Jemilo and Ankun together. This would cut off the territory of the Mackhans outside of the native territory of the Mackhans, and at the same time greatly weaken their war potential, preparing them for the next move. ā
Bo Jinchen concisely introduced the intention of the war and the results that needed to be achieved, which was also the opinion that he and Ling Tian came up with after some discussion, and now that His Majesty had summoned the three imperial generals of Liang, Cui, and Mu to discuss, he must have to make a decision.
"Well, the goal and intention are basically in line with my intentions, but how many troops will the empire use, and those troops are ready to enter the war? Will the enemy participate in the war except for the Maqi Khans?
"The Privy Council plans to use the Second Army Corps, which is good at mountain warfare, and the Third Army Corps, which is now stationed in Yanjing, as the main force to participate in the war, the Sixth Army Corps stationed on the border of the Nanyang Alliance as a deterrent to the Nanyang Alliance and prevent the Nanyang Alliance from entering the war, and the Tiger Guard Corps as a reserve. The battle plan is being prepared, and the initial plan is to launch an attack from Sanjiang and Zhongnan into the north and west, with the center of gravity of the operation mainly from the west, but the direction of the main attack can be flexibly adjusted at any time. In order to prevent the northern Liberians from taking advantage of the fire, the Indean Corps transferred back from the Central Continental Theater will be stationed in Gerok and Northwest County to strengthen the defense, and the Eleventh Army Corps and two directly subordinate hoplite divisions and four Ranger regiments should serve as strategic reserves and mobile forces on the northern front, which should be sufficient to ensure the security of the northern front. Bo Jinchen added the questions raised by Wu Feng one by one, and it can be seen that the Privy Council also attaches great importance to this battle, especially the possible impact on the Libean people in the north has also been fully considered and prepared.
"Hmph, I see that although the forces deployed on the northern front seem to be quite a lot, we have to prepare for the worst, if the war in the south of the empire does not go well, or if there is a delay, will the Liboas join forces to attack? If this happens, will the three legions and four Ranger regiments and two heavy cavalry divisions in the north be able to cope with it now?" Although Wu Feng's voice was not high, his tone was very stern, and he was obviously not very satisfied with the Privy Council's plan.
There was a solemnity in the study, this possible surname proposed by His Majesty the Emperor cannot be said to be none, but it is quite small, the empire has no intention of destroying the Maqi Khans in the south, but it is just necessary to weaken the war strength of the Maqi Khans and eradicate some of the Maqi Khans' limb territories, that is to say, there is no idea of expanding and prolonging the war, if it is advanced according to the plan, it is impossible for the Liberians to respond so quickly in such a short time.
However, the international situation and the battlefield situation are all changing three times, and no one dares to predict that the plan set in advance will be successfully realized, just as the Liberian states can form such a close military alliance in such a short period of time is also unpredicted by the imperial foreign and intelligence departments, and the Maqi Khans even want to join this alliance, which makes Wu Feng have a deep sense of crisis. The growing power of the Empire and the uncertainty of the Empire's policy led to a heightened fear among the surrounding countries and increased their hostility towards the Empire, which in turn led to a situation in which their alliances forced the Empire to use military means to disarm the threat posed by their union.
"The forces of the Liberians have gathered more than 1,200,000, and if we mobilize in an emergency, it can even reach 1,600,000 to 1,800,000, and our deployment of troops in the north is only 500,000, even if we have a defensive advantage, can we defend against the long border? What if the Liberians are really determined to take action when we take action in the south? How can we deal with the key breakthroughs, the means of pulling out nails, and the Liberians will use the same methods? Has the Privy Council considered this issue?" Wu Feng's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and his tone became unprecedentedly stern.
Not only Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen, but even Liang Chongxin, Both Cui Wenxiu and Mu Lige felt the dissatisfaction from His Majesty the Emperor, which they rarely saw, His Majesty the Emperor set the worst-case scenario, the military operation in the south was frustrated, and the Liboa people in the north were able to unite and unite in the shortest possible time to take the opportunity to attack the Empire, if this really happened, then the Empire might face an unprecedented crisis, and what would happen to the Middle Continent, which was far away from the Empire, it was even more difficult to determine.
"But Your Majesty, the current army of the empire can only reach this level, the north and south of the empire are facing strong enemies, if we want to solve the Liboa people first and temporarily put aside Maqi Khan, I am afraid that we will face greater difficulties, especially the Liboa countries are located in the north, once the war drags on, the cold north will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the emperor's [***] team, so the minister thinks that it is necessary to solve the problem of Maqi Khan first, and then consider the problem of dividing and disintegrating the Liboa Alliance, and each one can achieve a better result." ā
Bo Jinchen didn't quite understand what His Majesty the Emperor wanted to express, first solving Ma Qi Khan was also His Majesty's initial inclination, and now the plan is out, and he is not satisfied with the defense of the north. The teams are scattered all over the place, and the 500,000 troops on the northern front are already the limit, after all, will the Liberians make trouble at this time, or will the scale of the war be to do their best, no one can predict, if the empire is to be transferred back from the southwest and the middle continent, then the control of the territories that have just been incorporated into the empire's rule in the middle and southwest will be too weak, and it is likely to cause a lot of trouble, can't Your Majesty see it?
Thinking of this, Bo Jinchen was shocked, could it be that His Majesty intends to expand the army?
