Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Fielding's mouth, is there any other possibility? The siege of Jiayuguan is purely a fool's dream, I am afraid that their own supplies will be used up, and Jiayuguan can still last for a year and a half. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 If you want to attack Taixuanfu City, you must first cut off the connection with Jiayuguan to prevent a flanking attack, but how many troops and time will it take? Moreover, they may get the support of the empire at any time, and they can only bring humiliation on themselves by doing so.

But when his eyes fell on the south of Taixuan Mansion, the experienced Fielding finally felt a little strange. Seeing that there were only only five divisions left in the regular garrisons of the entire Guanxi County and Heshuo County, Fielding was a little uncertain, if his Taixuanfu City was really attacked, it would be really difficult for him to get reinforcements from the Empire for a while. Moreover, the garrison of the Western Military Region is really too thin, and if any problems really break out, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the existing troops to control the situation.

Fielding sighed, I hope there will not be the kind of scenario he envisioned, the current situation in the northwest is unstable, Li Wufeng is in Yanjing again, if there is really a problem, I am afraid it is impossible to rely on the northwest reinforcements, not to mention that his relationship with the Northwest Military and Political Envoy is also in a strange state, it is difficult to say whether they will take advantage of the fire to rob.

Just when Fielding was thinking about it, the Kaman army, which had been preparing for a long time, finally appeared on the land of Taixuan Mansion. The 120,000-strong army led by Claudia appeared in the southern foothills of the Zagros Mountains in the northeast of Taixuan Mansion as if falling from the sky, and quickly advanced westward along the lowlands along the foothills. At the same time, the Sixth Corps led by Duke Miley also moved westward at the same time, aiming directly at the Taixuan Mansion City, but it seemed that it was moving much slower.

Fielding, who received the information about the horses, was a little puzzled in surprise, the 120,000 troops marched west along the edge of the Zagros Mountains, and the target was naturally Jiayuguan, of course he knew the desire of the Kamans for Jiayuguan, but the problem was that they wanted to take Jiayuguan with these 120,000 horses? Fielding subconsciously shook his head. What about the army that came to Benfu City? Did they really want to take Taixuanfu City or just attract troops from Taixuanfu City to prevent reinforcements to Jiayuguan? Why did they have such a big difference in marching speed, could it be that their purpose was really Jiayuguan?

A series of contradictory pieces of information left Fielding dizzy, making it impossible to judge. But he was not idle, while ordering the Second Garrison Division stationed in Taixuanfu City to quickly enter a state of combat readiness, he also issued a martial law order, and he also ordered the officials of the War Readiness Administration to immediately activate the wartime emergency plan, immediately transfer the reservists to active duty, and newly established the Fourth Garrison Division, with the director of the War Readiness Department as the division commander, and immediately doubled the garrison of Taixuanfu Fucheng to nearly 50,000 people.

At the same time as issuing this series of orders, he also immediately sent an urgent letter to his nominal superior, the Northwest Military and Political Envoy's Embassy, requesting immediate reinforcements, while the other fast horse galloped to the capital in the starry night long before this and reported to the military headquarters as quickly as possible.

Looking at the Wan Qian Xiong Pass in front of her, Claudia couldn't help but feel that this level, known as the first pass in the world, was firmly stuck in the southward passage of her country's army, so that the army of the Kaman Empire could only be consumed in front of this pass year after year.

Seeing the coach staring blankly at the level in front of him that no one seemed to be able to conquer, Viscount Dominic next to him also sighed softly, as a soldier, he could understand the feeling that the general of the attacking side could have when he saw this imposing and impeccable level, which was a feeling of helplessness and despair.

The majestic city walls, wide moats, well-equipped crossbows, trebuchets, bunkers, arrow holes, and even the neatly arranged logs and stones can be faintly seen, plus the surrounding dangerous mountains, are enough to discourage anyone. The front walls were cleaned and cleaned, and there was nothing but a moat, and there was nothing to hide from.

"Your Excellency the Marquis, the soldiers are waiting for your instructions. Seeing that Zhu Shuai hadn't come back to his senses for a long time, Dominic had to quietly remind him.

"Oh, order the Seventh Corps to garrison the left and right flanks, and the Guards to camp in the center, Your Excellency, Viscount, arrange the tasks of the scouts, pay attention to the situation on our flanks and behind, and send someone to contact the Duke of Miley at once, and tell him that we have entered the attack area as planned. And send someone to contact them and tell them that we will attack in three days. Claudia woke up from a dream and regained her composure.

"Yes. Dominic nodded, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

The sea in the east of Yuhang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River is a group of more than 100 small islands, it is the Zhoushan Islands of the empire famous for its beautiful scenery, among which Putuo Island is the most famous island, the beach on the island is like snow, the strange peaks on the island are protruding, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, there is the famous Putuo Temple of the empire and the Tingchao Pavilion to enjoy the sea scenery. It is also home to the Imperial Imperial Summer Palace, where His Majesty comes for a holiday during the hottest two months of the year almost every year, and this year is no exception.

The scenery of Putuo is beautiful, the harmonious blend of mountains and water, the endless blue sea, and the soft sand beach as white as silver, all of which make people feel refreshed and happy. Although the army of the southern front maintained strong pressure on the Maqi Khans, the Maqi Khans never put their Royal Forest Corps on the front line of confrontation with the empire, fortunately, Lei Juetian was seriously injured in the assassination, so that the Maqi Khans suddenly lost their backbone and could not respond in time, and the reinforcements of the Nanyang Alliance only stayed in the city of Jiaxi in the Kingdom of Naples, and refused to move forward, his plan has basically achieved its goal.

But in the past two days, the information that came from Yanjing one after another made He Zhiqiu feel a lot of troubles, the imperial inspection group aroused public anger in the northwest, the Gaoyue barbarian soldiers mutinied, the local political axe was unable to deal with it, and the situation in the northwest was turbulent, all of which made He Zhiqiu feel a headache.

The greed and shamelessness of those nobles He Zhiqiu had long been very clear, he didn't expect to make such a big Lou Zi in the northwest with a complex ethnic composition, the Gaoyue barbarians were barbarians that Li Wufeng had managed to recover, how could these pig-brained nobles anger them? Even if those barbarians break the corpses of these nobles to pieces, they will not shed a single tear, and even clap their hands, but the impact on His Majesty the Emperor is very huge, after all, the nobles are the cornerstone of the empire's family, although they have fallen to the point of no return, but the empire still can't sit idly by.

But how can it be proved that this is not a conspiracy directed by Li Wufeng himself? Could it be that this northwest has really become so out of control after leaving Li Wufeng? He Zhiqiu was full of suspicions about this, but the information sent by the intelligence department was vague about this point, and there was no way to confirm it. For this reason, He Zhiqiu and His Majesty the Emperor have discussed it twice, but they have never been able to reach an agreement.

He Zhiqiu knew that His Majesty the Emperor was under pressure, and the relatives and friends of those nobles were also celebrities in the upper class of the empire, and they sent representatives to Putuo from thousands of miles away, pestering in front of His Majesty the Emperor all day long, asking His Majesty to immediately let Li Wufeng return to the northwest to stabilize the overall situation, so as to ensure the safety of the lives of those nobles. This time, even Ning Yuanwang and them also succumbed to the pressure of the nobles, and did not dare to insist on opposing opinions, and it seemed that only His Highness supported him in the entire court, but He Zhiqiu knew that His Highness was not really on his side, he had his own ideas.

At his own perseverance, His Majesty the Emperor finally accepted his opinion and asked the DPRK and China to send officials to the northwest immediately to find out the truth and make a final conclusion. But this will happen and His Majesty the Emperor immediately summons him, will there be any changes?

His Majesty the Emperor's face was gloomy and frightening, and the faces of several ministers and princes beside him were also gloomy, and when He Zhiqiu took the front-line battle report and looked at it, his head suddenly buzzed.

The Kaman army invaded the Duchy of Gerlok and the Imperial Taixuanfu on a large scale, and the Taixuanfu and Jiayuguan were in an emergency at the same time, and the Western Military Region had almost no troops to be deployed, and the request for help to the northwest was rejected by the other side on the grounds that the situation was unstable, and the request for immediate assistance from the Empire was requested.

After carefully calculating the enemy's strength, this time the Kamans have sent more than 400,000 troops, which is obviously not a small move, but a promising one, a real big operation. He Zhiqiu, who had already been briefed by Lu Wenfu on the situation in Kansai before leaving Beijing, had already noticed the hidden dangers in Kansai, and the existing strength of the Western Military Region had already reached an extremely dangerous level, and at this moment he did not dare to transfer the army garrison in Guanxi County and Heshuo County to Taixuan for reinforcements, otherwise if there was a riot as Lu Wenfu said, I am afraid that it would not be a gain or loss for one city or one place, and what might follow might be chaos throughout the country.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that Li Wufeng should be allowed to return to the northwest immediately, and ordered him to immediately stabilize the local situation, and immediately lead the army to reinforce Taixuan to ensure the stability of Taixuan Mansion. The minister estimated that the purpose of the Kaman people was in Taixuan Mansion, once Taixuan was lost, Jiayuguan would become a lonely city, even if it held on for a long time, it would fall sooner or later. He Zhiqiu, who had made up his mind in his heart, showed extraordinary determination, contrary to the attitude of resolutely disagreeing with letting Li Wufeng return to the northwest two days ago.

The change in He Zhiqiu's attitude surprised Situ Mingyue, but at this time, he was a little hesitant, "He Aiqing, can you let the Xibu Military Region or the City Guards go to reinforce first?"

"I'm afraid not, Your Majesty, the city guards can't dissolve the fire from far away, and the army of the Western Military Region has reached the lowest number, and it must not be moved, otherwise once something happens, I'm afraid it won't be able to deal with it." He Zhiqiu's attitude was extremely firm.

Situ Mingyue only mentioned it, in fact, he didn't have any other excessive thoughts, and when he heard the Minister of War say this, he nodded in agreement, and didn't ask He Zhiqiu what he meant by something, maybe he thought it was a threat from the Lin family in the south, so that He Zhiqiu, who had already spoken out, put back a heart hanging in his throat, because Lu Wenfu had specifically told him not to expose it at the moment, otherwise it would be possible to startle the snake, and it might also cause the other party to attack first, but if His Majesty the Emperor asked, it would be really difficult for him to answer。
