"Pinglu Mansion is a very critical position for us, take it, we can threaten Anyuan in the west, suppress Tianshui in the south, and look down on Montenegro in the southeast, and it can also become a barrier to protect the Qinghe, even if there is no Pingyao, the granary that supplies the two provinces in the plain, we must take this place. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Nick said slowly, his face always seemed to be that kind of white and almost sickly pale, "More importantly, this is a rare opportunity, Li Wufeng's power has swelled too much, if we don't suppress him, I am afraid that he will be even more rampant, which is not conducive to our southward expansion." ”

"My lord, I'm afraid the Northwest Army will not let us get our wish easily, they have three divisions in Pinglu, one of them is a heavy cavalry division, the other two are the elite of the Northwest Army, the first division of the North Luzon, the pure Gaoyue heavy infantry division, the fifth division of the northwest, one of Li Wufeng's starting troops, and 30,000 rangers can be reinforced from Anyuan at any time, although we have an absolute advantage, but the Northwest Army has reinforcements from the South Jieluo Front Army in the west, and there are 30,000 rangers stationed in Xikang, and Tianshui also has the Northwest First Division, which is known as the First Army of the Northwest, and we are afraid that we will pay a great price for this battle。 ”

What raised the question was Count Gustav, the commander of the Fifth Corps, who had just been transferred from Cangzhou, a veteran general who was quite senior in the imperial [***] world, in terms of seniority, he should be a contemporary of Nick and Miley, who were known as the twin pillars of the empire, and his combat record was not much worse than that of Nick and Miley.

"Lord Gustav has some truth, if the Northwest Army can fully reinforce Pinglu, even if we win this battle, it will be quite difficult, but we will not have this phenomenon, we have many natural allies, they don't like to see a too strong Northwest appear, in addition, too much food in Li Wufeng's hands will also bring him a lot of trouble. Nick was not happy that the other party was questioning the situation he had sketched about the development of the war, he knew that his classmates in the Emperor [***] school had always been like this, not the right person.

"Could it be that Lord Nick has other arrangements and arrangements?" asked Count Gustav, raising his eyebrows and gladly. He is probably the only corps commander who does not call Nick a marshal, perhaps a long-standing habit, he has always called the two generalissimos of the empire known as the two pillars of the empire by their first names, even after the two have been promoted to marshal to become his top boss, he is just a courtesy surname with the word adult after the two names.

"Hehe, everything will soon be clear, whether we take the flat land or not, there will be results in a day or two, no matter what choice we get in the end, I think a war is inevitable. But I hope to have a happy ending, the Northwest Army is known as the elite of the Tang River Army, although Hoffman lost a battle in Pinglu, but that doesn't mean anything, a disproportionate duel doesn't mean anything, I hope to use this battle to reflect whether our Kaman army is more powerful or the Northwest Army is stronger. The thin silver-armored man paused word by word, but the compelling battle intent in his words jumped on his face.

Lying on his back in the net cradle in the gazebo, with his eyes half-closed, the young man listened to the maid beside him gently push and sway the cradle, as if he was enjoying the comfort quite leisurely. The green shade is like a cover, the endless verdant forests cover the flat land near the lake densely, the lake breeze quietly sweeps by, bringing a burst of coolness, a few leaves of flat boat game on the lake, the laughter like silver bells comes from the boat from time to time, a good relaxed and leisurely summer season.

The old man in the green shirt, who had been sitting next to the gazebo and fishing near the lake, seemed to be oblivious to everything around him, and all his attention was focused on the two fishing rods, and the fishing line hanging in the shade was motionless, as if no fish had bitten in the middle of the afternoon. However, the old man seems to prefer to enjoy this feeling of fishing, and from time to time he opens his squinted eyes, and seems not to care too much about whether he can catch a fish.

"Qiu Lao, you have been fishing all afternoon, no fish has bitten the hook, and you are so persistent, can you really calm down?" Putting down the half-bound ancient book in his hand, the young man finally couldn't help it.

"Your Highness, you can catch a big fish by putting a long line, if you don't even have this patience, how can you get a big fish?" replied the old man in green shirt unhurriedly.

"Well, Qiu Lao, you seem to have something to say. The young man seemed to feel something, and rolled over and sat up.

"Your Highness, if you endure for a while, sometimes you will have more hope and certainty, the Taiping Sect is impatient and can't hide it, I think it's not just us watching, the Kaman people are staring, although Li Wufeng's gap in Kansai is large, but don't forget that the nomadic cavalry under Li Wufeng's control is the strongest mobile force, and it is not difficult for them to run thousands of miles in a few days. The old man in the green shirt did not look back, still staring at the water wholeheartedly, and replied lightly.

"Oh, does Qiu Lao mean that he doesn't advocate that we take Jincheng?" the young man's face changed slightly.

"The question is, how long will we be able to keep Jincheng after we take it? Unless Li Wufeng is really defeated by the combined forces of the Kamans and the Taipings, or the Maqi Khans from the south attack Tiannan in one go, I don't think it's a good idea to take Jincheng. Of course, if we can occupy Jincheng and obtain the grain there, and then generously return Jincheng to Li Wufeng, I have no objection. The old man in the green shirt did not have the slightest feeling in his words, but just talked about things.

The young man was stunned for a moment, silently thinking about the meaning of the other party's words. It seems that the other party hopes to seize Jincheng's grain to alleviate Huanggang's current embarrassment, but he does not advocate tearing his face with Li Wufeng. Of course, the temporary occupation of Jincheng can prevent the Taiping army from attacking Jincheng after capturing Tianshui, but the Taiping army is sure of how much they are sure of Tianshui, and there is no bottom in their hearts, although Li Wufeng is only stationed in Tianshui, but that is Li Wufeng's trump card, even if the Taiping army's combat power is twice or even three times that of the other party, it may not be able to get good, this bet is really as Qiu Lao said, you can't bet casually.

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry to show your attitude, whether it's the Taiping Army, the Kamans, or the Sanjiang War in the south, I believe that the clues will soon be seen, Li Wufeng is also at a critical moment at this time, the Kaman people probably now also find that Li Wufeng's power has expanded beyond their acceptance, it turns out that they hope that Li Wufeng's expansion can accelerate the fall of the empire, so they can get a spoonful of it, I believe that the Maqi Khans also think the same, so they will listen to Li Wufeng's wanton annexation, but now Li Wufeng has not only not become the overthrower of the empire, but also faintly become a pillar that supports the empire, The entire western part of the empire has been slowly unified by him, and if such strength is given him enough time to digest, I believe it will become a nightmare for the Kaman and the Maqi Khan, so from this point of view, it is impossible for the Kaman and the Maqi Khan to wait any longer, and the situation forced them to have a showdown with Li Wufeng. ”

Taking a deep breath, the old man in the green shirt put down the fishing rod in his hand for the first time and turned his head, and said with a solemn face: "Your Highness, if the Kaman and Maqi Khans win this battle, we will still have a chance, if the Kaman and Maqi Khans are defeated, then we will have no power to return to heaven, at most we will be a rich man under Li Wufeng." ”

Unexpectedly, the other party would elevate his upcoming melee to such an important position this time, and the young man couldn't fully ignore it for a while, and after a long time, he was at a loss and said, "Then Qiu Lao, who do you predict will win?"

"It's not easy to predict. If you want to talk about the advantage at the strategic level, it is natural to have the advantage of the anti-Li alliance, even if there is no Taiping army, the combined strength of the Kaman and the Maqi Khans is already indestructible, and the two armies should be said to be similar in terms of one-to-one combat strength, but the Maqi Khans dispatched an army of 400,000 this time, and the Kamans are roughly similar, and Li Wufeng's troops that can be put on the Kansai and Sanjiang battlefields are only three or four hundred thousand, and they have to deal with the two-line battlefields separately, if the Taiping army is also involved, the situation can be said to be extremely unfavorable to Li Wufeng。 The old man in the green shirt looked at the lake in the distance with deep eyes, "However, Li Wufeng is a generation of heroes, and there are many capable and fierce generals under him, and he also has quite a vast strategic depth and strong potential, he is afraid that he will also see this, how he responds, I can't determine, but it is certain that it is not easy for the Kaman and Maqi Khans to win this battle." ”

The young man was already a little confused by the words of his main adviser, and thought for a long time before he said: "Qiu Lao, do you roughly estimate what kind of ending they will end up in after this battle?"

"I vainly speculate that the two sides will fall into a state of invincible entanglement, and even if the Taiping Sect people are involved, it is estimated that it will be difficult to play a role in determining the surname, but if the Luzon and Luope people and even the Sislo people behind Li Wufeng suddenly make trouble, I am afraid that Li Wufeng will not be able to escape his fate. The old man in the green shirt obviously also felt that his inference had too many hypothetical elements, and hurriedly added: "Of course, Luzon and Luobei are both defeated under Li Wufeng, and they will definitely not make a move easily, unless they can be sure that Li Wufeng's defeat is decided, as for the Siathrows, their current strategy seems to have changed dramatically, if Li Wufeng is smart, it is possible to completely resolve this threat, of course, it depends on the wrestling between the Kaman and Li Wufeng on the battlefield and diplomacy." ”
