"I have discussed with the division commander that if I can make that cowardly guy feel that the Taiping Rebellion Army is about to attack, in this case, he can only ask us or the Lulong Mansion in the north for help, the Lulong Mansion is far away and difficult to travel, it is not realistic, and the situation in the Lulong Mansion is not very stable, so it is impossible, the only choice is us. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAs long as there is a formal request from the other party, I think there is a reason for us to intervene. I'm just afraid that the central government of the empire will not accept our explanation. Yue Shan answered, but also smiled wryly when he said the last sentence, it was obvious that this was the biggest difficulty of this plan, and if he could not get a reasonable and convincing reason, the empire would definitely suspect that this was another copy of the Golden State incident.

Wu Feng nodded, this is already difficult to gain the understanding of the central government of the empire, with the experience of the past, anyone will be on guard against themselves, even the seventeenth princess is willing to send to his side, and his vigilance towards himself can be imagined, but it is already like this, so he can't care so much.

"Needless to say, just arrange it according to your plan, I hope it can be arranged as soon as possible, we can't wait any longer, the people of the Taiping Sect won't give us much time, once they catch their breath, they will immediately think of coming to deal with us. Since we can't get the authorization of the Empire after all, then we have to come on our own. ”

At this time, Wu Feng was extremely decisive and did not hesitate any longer.

Hanzhong Fuseong, the capital of Kansai County, is located in the center of the Hanzhong Basin, and the Taiping River, which flows from the northwest, winds around the city and slowly moves eastward. This is an ancient city with a history of 1,500 years, and the history has to be pushed back to several dynasties, two of which once made their capital here, and the fertile Hanzhong Basin raised the sons and daughters of this side, and today, the ancient Hanzhong city has changed owners.

Armed soldiers patrolling with loaded guns and ammunition can be seen everywhere on the majestic city walls, their clothing is different from that of the emperor's [***] team, the blue cloth is covered with leather armor, and whether there is a helmet or not, a striking red scarf is tied around their foreheads. On the tower of the city, a big flag with a white background and gold edges is hunting and flying in the wind, and a three-legged blue bird is embroidered in the middle of it, fluttering in the wind, just like to take off in the air.

There are many fewer pedestrians on the streets of the city than in the past, and most of them are closed, but there are still many businesses that have the courage to open their doors ajar, and from time to time there are people who probe their brains to quietly look around to see what is the difference between the Hanzhong City today and the past.

The majestic Kansai-gun Castle is located near the Great Temple Square in the heart of Hanzhong Castle. The big temple refers to the largest temple in the western part of the empire left by the previous dynasty---- the big Leiyin Temple, it covers an area of 100 acres, the building in the temple is magnificent, the scenery is unique, dozens of ancient pines that are said to have been thousands of years old are verdant and upright, covering the sky, and there are the first big Tallinn ---- treasures and Tallinns in the continent that are used to store the relics and Buddha bones left after the ascension of the high monks. Legend has it that 800 years ago, the famous Venerable Venerable Monk Pudu preached the Dharma here and ascended to the throne, and since then it has become a holy place in the hearts of the Zennan believers who believe in Buddhism in the empire, and every year a large number of believers from all over the empire and even the mainland come to enjoy the fate.

The capital of Kansai County is only 500 meters away from Daleiyin Temple, and this courtyard is built in the traditional Tang style architectural style, with three courtyards and deep courtyards.

The soldiers on duty in the empire who were alive at the gate were now replaced by four red-scarf soldiers with tall chests and high spirits, looking straight ahead without squinting, adding a bit of momentum.

The second courtyard is a place where the county guards work and meet important guests, and now it has become the office of the head of the Taiping Sect in the Kansai region.

The large council hall was crowded with people, gathering the heads of the various sects of the Taiping Sect in the entire Kansai region, it was difficult for these people to gather together in normal times, even You Daofang, who was the great master of the Taiping Sect, would have the opportunity to gather with so many sect backbones at the same time to discuss important matters.

However, with the unexpectedly smooth military operations of the Taiping Sect in Guanxi County, in just ten days, the remaining five prefectures of the six prefectures in the county were captured except for Lujiang Prefecture, and even Jincheng Mansion, which was garrisoned by the Second Division of the Fourth Army Corps of the Imperial Army, was also conquered by internal and external responses, and the Second Division of the Fourth Army Corps was also forced to retreat to the neighboring Wuhu County. Now only the Lujiang Mansion in a remote corner is still surviving, and I believe that it will not be long before it will fall into the hands of the Holy Sect.

As You Daofang, who was dressed in a cyan robe, sat on the top spot, the originally noisy voices in the hall suddenly quieted down, and the few people who followed You Daofang also sat on the seats on both sides not far from the top one. At present, except for a few important figures in the preaching who have not arrived for some reason, almost all the important figures of the Taiping Sect in the Kansai region have already arrived.

Sitting at the bottom of the Great Grandmaster's left was a young man under the age of thirty, he was the second disciple of the Great Grandmaster, Lan Bailin, who was respectfully known as the Second Young Master, and was mainly responsible for the eastern and southern affairs of the empire. Next to him was a man in brocade, with a white and fat face, a wisp of green beard, and the appearance of a rich man, he was Miao Mingkun, the envoy in charge of economic and financial affairs of the Taiping Sect. Next to him is a middle-aged man with a black veil, his eyes are covered tightly by a thick black scarf, everyone only knows that he is the envoy in charge of intelligence affairs in the sect, but no one knows his name, he is dressed in black all the year round, and over time the disciples in the sect will be honored as the black envoy; the next thin man has a white beard and a cold face, he is the envoy Tao Bang who is responsible for the internal discipline and punishment of the Taiping Sect, and the middle-aged man next to him is Feng Qi, the former head of the Taiping Sect in the Guanxi region, he has been appointed as the envoy of the Taiping Sect in Hanzhong Prefecture, which is equivalent to the position of the imperial city guard, responsible for the management of the entire Hanzhong Mansion。

The first chair on the right was empty, and everyone knew that it belonged to the position of the eldest young master Xu Wenzhe, who could not get out because of the organization of the uprising in the Beiyuan and Yanyun regions, so he did not arrive. His next head is an old man in Tsing Yi, with a thin face, a goatee, triangular eyes, and his appearance is not in the eyes of people, but no one dares to underestimate him, he is the Taiping Sect's military envoy Bo Jinchen, and the great master You Daofang has been close friends for decades, and the reason why the Kansai region can succeed so smoothly is most directly related to his planning and arrangement.

He was Feng Yunkai, the envoy in charge of organizing personnel in the Taiping Sect, and was also the right-hand man of the Great Grandmaster You Daofang; next to him was Tang Guotai, the envoy of the Taiping Sect who was responsible for external liaison and propaganda and agitation, a shrewd man in his thirties.

There are still six or seven people in the hands of these people, but they are all dressed in military uniforms, all of them are the army commanders who now control the five prefectures in Kansai County, and there is a special guest, who looks like a Caucasian, but he is very fluent in talking with several Taiping Sect officers around him, he is Ed, the special envoy of the Kaman Empire who is responsible for liaison and coordination in the Taiping Sect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, this meeting is the most important meeting of the Holy Sect since the public raising of the flag, I hope you can cherish this opportunity and lay a good foundation for our next plan, and now I invite the Black Sect Envoy to introduce the situation to you. Presiding over the meeting was Feng Yunkai, the instructor in charge of publicity.

"Up to now, the Holy Sect Army has taken control of the five prefectures of the six prefectures in Guanxi, except for the Lujiang River, especially the entire territory of Hanzhong Prefecture and Xikang Prefecture, which have gradually returned to normal, and the common people have behaved relatively calmly, and even many of the people have expressed their welcome; Jincheng Mansion and Bashan Mansion have also been mostly controlled by our Holy Sect, and only a few remote areas have not yet had the energy to take care of them; Longdong Prefecture has also been under the control of our Sect except for Partridge Pass, and the overall situation is very good, and the resistance forces have been basically eliminated within the control of the Holy Sect, and in accordance with the orders of the Sect Master, except for a small number of officials and nobles who have been hostile to and endangered the development of our Holy Religion for a long time, all localities have executed a small number of officials and nobles who have been hostile to and endangered the development of our Holy ReligionWe try not to touch their interests for the time being. “

"Of course, there are also many nobles and merchants who have already fled before the Holy Religion takes control, leaving behind a large amount of ownerless property and land, which, according to the Grandmaster's opinion, will be taken over to the Holy Religion, and the ownerless land will begin to be registered and distributed to the parishioners who support the development of our Holy Religion according to the situation. In addition, according to the Grandmaster's opinion, various localities have also begun to demand that the landowners in various places must reduce the land rent according to our regulations, especially the land rented by the parishioners must be reduced by a considerable amount, otherwise we have the right to confiscate their land. This has already had a very good effect, and many people have already asked to join our holy religion in various places, and the momentum is very strong, which is very helpful for us to expand the development of the holy religion. ”

"Of course, there are still many people in a wait-and-see state, as long as we can persist in resisting the attack of the Emperor [***] team and strive to protect the Kansai territory, I believe that with the passage of time, more and more people will join our Holy Sect, and our foundation will become more and more solid. ”

After a pause, the masked man said, "Now let me introduce the situation we are in, especially the surrounding situation. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th Divisions of the Imperial Fourth Army Corps have completed their assembly and are marching from Tianshui Mansion City to the area controlled by our Holy Sect in two directions, but there is no information on their follow-up troops. Their troops marched very slowly, probably waiting for the arrival of reinforcements to converge, and their general direction was all the way to Jinchengfu in the south, and it was estimated that the fourth and fifth divisions of the Fourth Army Corps and the remnants of the second division retreated to the territory of Wuhu; the other was mainly composed of the third division, and the two wings of the Tianshui Garrison Division cooperated, and now moved along the main road in the direction of Longdong Fu, and the estimated target was Longdong Fucheng. ”

In addition, according to intelligence, Li Wufeng has not been seen for many years due to the military and political control in the northwest, and it is suspected that he has left the capital Qingyang, and his whereabouts are now unknown. ”

The masked man's words were very objective and did not carry any emotion, but the introduction of the development of the situation at the beginning aroused the uncontrollable excitement and applause of many people in the hall, especially those officers, who exchanged heads and ears one after another, until Tao Bang, the envoy in charge of discipline, glanced around with a cold eye, and the voice gradually disappeared, but they still exchanged joyful glances with each other. It wasn't until the introduction of the later changes in the military situation that several officers calmed down and began to think about how to deal with the upcoming battle.
