Choi Wenxiu's idea is not complicated, but it is quite realistic. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoCangzhou and Beiping in the entire Yanyun Four Prefectures are now within the range of ranger attacks under their control, Cangzhou has a high city wall, and there are even more flat rivers around it, and if you want to storm Cangzhou, you must pay a considerable price. Cui Wenxiu has never had the habit of attacking fortifications, not because he was afraid of attacking the city, but because he thought that it was not a last resort, this kind of victory obtained by exchanging soldiers' lives for the cost of soldiers' lives was too cost-effective, and it was not easy to train a qualified veteran. Since Cangzhou is the main source of soldiers of the Northern Army, it means that Situ Tai will have to fight with himself in Cangzhou for one or two, otherwise it will be difficult for him to explain to the soldiers, even if it is a formality, at least the scene must be put out, of course, this does not mean that Situ Tai will be stupid enough to really fight with himself. This is proved from the fact that the two divisions were placed under the city of Cangzhou, neither directly entering the city, but not leaving the city, this kind of cover-up practice is probably Situ Tai's self-comfort.

Cui Wenxiu is still waiting, still waiting for the first division of the first army of the empire that has been vacillating in Yanjing City, he has taken a fancy to this prey, and from all kinds of signs, Tie Longping's division is very likely to return to Yanyun from the north of Yanjing, and it is very likely to join the Cangzhou defensive battle, this is an opportunity, a very good opportunity, so Cui Wenxiu has been showing the outside world that the Third Army and the Ranger Regiment are not ready to advance eastward, and the purpose is to wait for this prey.

As long as he can bite this piece of fat on the way back to the north of the First Division of the First Army, and he is not afraid that the enemy in Cangzhou will not reinforce him, and the reinforcement is what Cui Wenxiu expects, then he will get a greater opportunity. Now that everything is in place, only the east wind is owed, it depends on whether Tie Longping's division will return to Cangzhou from Yanjing North as he expected, Cui Wenxiu has to stare at and ask about the news from Yanjing almost every day, but on the surface, he has to scatter the six ranger regiments in the clouds to the line of Qinghe, and put on the appearance of attacking the hinterland of Yanshan Beiping to disturb Situ Tai's inner abdomen.

Cui Wenxiu believed that as long as the enemy in Cangzhou, including the First Division of the First Army Corps, could be completely annihilated, the entire battle of Yanyun County could almost be declared over, and the only hope of Situ Tai of the First Division of the First Army of Tielongping was lost.

While Cui Wenxiu was anxiously waiting for the First Division of the First Army in Yanjing City to make the decision to return north, his rival Cheng Dayou also did not relax, although he did not realize that his beautiful battle in the East China Sea had aroused Cui Wenxiu's ambitions, but he hoped that he could make himself and the prestige of the Eighth Army Corps higher in this Yanyun battle.

The wide map has been covered with various number marks, and the geographical topographic map of Yanyun County has indicated in detail that the locations of each division have been the distribution of Situ Tai's army, but in the north of Laizhou, it is a blank, except for a garrison division that symbolizes the surname in the capital city of Laizhou, Cheng Dayou does not believe that this garrison division will be stupid enough to resist desperately when Situ Tai has obviously given up on them, in Cheng Dayou's opinion, this is just an ornament on the map.

Cheng Dayou's right hand has been gently stroking under his chin, as if the beard stubble under his jaw can bring a very comfortable stimulation to the skin of his palm, but his eyes are always wandering on the map, as if he is carefully considering what he should do next. The intelligence shows a fairly clear situation, Laizhou has obviously been given up by Situ Tai, it seems that the lack of troops makes Situ Tai have to make a painful choice, knowing that giving up Laizhou may bring many negative effects, but he has to do this, otherwise the overstretched forces will make him take care of one or the other, and may not even be able to hold a place, his posture is more like to defend Beiping and Cangzhou and Yanshan near Doton, the question is whether he can do it? And what should he do?

Laizhou is no longer in the scope of Cheng Dayou's considerations, that is the political axe department to consider the issue of taking over administrative affairs, for this kind of silent harvest Cheng Dayou is not too happy, although it is said that the army without a fight is the best policy, but without a fight does not mean that the enemy will succumb, the enemy is just carrying out strategic contraction, which will increase the difficulty of capturing the other three provinces, but it will only increase the difficulty, and will not have much impact on the course of the war. Cheng Dayou didn't understand what Situ Tai wanted to do in this situation, maybe he wanted to use the First World War to prove that the prestige of the Northern Army was not a rumor, Cheng Dayou could only think so, but this was definitely not a wise move.

But Situ Tai gave up Laizhou, which also strengthened the defense of the other three provinces in disguise, Cangzhou is not Cheng Dayou's consideration, whether to directly attack the nest of Situ Tai at the straight end of Beiping, or to capture Yanshan first to cut off Situ Tai's way to escape north or go to sea from Yanshan, which makes Cheng Dayou a little troubled. Both cities are fortified and well-walled, and if you want to take them, you will have to pay a considerable price, and there seems to be no better way in front of you.

"Hechun, do you think we should take Beiping or Yanshan first?" After looking at the map for a long time, Cheng Dayou finally asked the chief of staff who has been busy sorting out and analyzing intelligence information on the side, this chief of staff has always been one of Cheng Dayou's most loyal assistants, from the Taiping Army to the emperor [***], and then to the Western Xinjiang Army, maybe leading troops to fight is not his forte, but planning, analysis, judgment and reasoning are his strengths, and he himself can clearly realize his own advantages and disadvantages, which is what Cheng Dayou values him most.

Cheng Dayou's admiration for Li Wufeng came from many sources, the most important of which was that Li Wufeng was able to let go and boldly agree to his proposal for the selection of senior officers of the Eighth Army Corps, from the chief of staff to the director of logistics to the division commanders of various divisions and regiments, except for a very few candidates who had to be replaced because the security department did not pass the political review, almost all of the others were approved by Li Wufeng. Although Cheng Dayou also knew that his suggestion might bring many negative effects, especially the dissatisfaction of other descendants in Western Xinjiang who were absolutely loyal to Li Wufeng, Cheng Dayou still did so, he wanted to see if Li Wufeng's mind was as big as the legend. But it turns out that Li Wufeng's mind is indeed competent enough to become his own monarch. Although Cheng Dayou later reproposed a replacement to show his attitude, he was rejected by Li Wufeng, which made Cheng Dayou feel a little ashamed, and he could only repay the other party's trust with a greater record.

"General, if in terms of political significance, the significance of this Beiping Mansion is naturally far greater than that of Yanshan, but in terms of actual function, my subordinates think that this Yanshan may be more important to us and His Royal Highness King Qin. As long as we take Yanshan, it is equivalent to blocking Situ Tai's way to escape north, and his subordinates think that this alone is worth going down to Yanshan first. What's more, after the capture of Yanshan, Beiping has actually become a turtle in an urn, and if the Third Army is progressing smoothly in Cangzhou, his subordinates will think that this Beiping will not go down. In addition, didn't the general always want to teach the people of Doton a lesson? I think His Royal Highness the King of Qin also has this intention, and the last time we gave His Royal Highness the King of Qin's suggestion, in the reply letter, the other Royal Highnesses of the King of Qin gave replies one by one, but there was no mention of the Okhotsk region, and the subordinates saw that there was a deep meaning in this. If we take Yanshan and then take advantage of the situation to attack Okhotsk, even if we can't occupy this area, we will at least control one or two strategic passes, so that our strategic posture in the northern border area is much better, and it is better to put on a posture of overlooking the territory of the Dodonians than for the Dodonians to watch our interior, general, don't you?"

Chang Hechun's words were so successful that he nodded again and again, worthy of being his No. 1 staff, not only can he accurately analyze the changes in the situation, but even His Royal Highness the King of Qin can figure out a thing or two, his own lord is not a good master, he will not be indifferent to the help of the Duoton people to help Situ Tai intervene in the imperial civil war, and he will not want to see the opportunity to retaliate, although the last time he proposed to explain the proposal to enter the Okhotsk region after solving Yan Yun, although he did not get a positive response from his boss, but in the private reply letter of Bo Jinchen, deputy director of the Military Affairs Administration, it was faintly pointed out that His Royal Highness King Qin was indeed inclined to support this opinion in his heart, but in view of the fact that the imperial civil war has not yet endedAfter all, the Government Affairs Bureau and many officials and gentry strongly advocated ending the civil war as soon as possible, shifting their main energies to the affairs of establishing a new dynasty, and opposed the expansion of the war in the near future, especially the establishment of a new foreign war.

Okhotsk is a region at the junction of Doton and Yanshan Province, the terrain is undulating, the inhabitants are also quite complex, although the Liboya people are the mainstay, but the Tang people also have a considerable number, and there are a certain number of ethnic minorities in the sea, it is a multi-ethnic mixed area of the Doton people, bordering the Great East Ocean, and the Crescent Peninsula across the sea, where there are several harbors with wide and deep waters, which is an excellent place to establish a good port, but the Doton people have not paid much attention to the development of the navy, and now the Cook Islands and the Crescent Peninsula are occupied by the Japanese people, and they have lost the confidence in the development of maritime armed forces, so these coastal passes have not been well used。
