"Helian, this battle is really not easy to fight, I haven't seen the Luzon people put on a clear posture, put on a show, always talk there and don't practice, and there is a limit to acting, what is this Frederick paying attention to?" Hu Yanqiu propped his elbow on the table, his hand gently twisted on the brown sideburns under his chin, and his thoughtful gaze moved from east to west, as if to find out something suspicious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Helian Bo has always been a little puzzled about this issue, but the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau has already been reported to Wufeng in Yanjing, and the instructions of His Royal Highness King Qin have also arrived, to ensure the safety of Northern Luzon, not to fall into the hands of the enemy, and to ensure the stability of Northern Luzon at the cost of abandoning the East Tengger Grassland, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Qin attaches great importance to the bridge connecting the Indean region, and this burden on his shoulders also makes Helian Bo indeed feel a little heavy.

"If it's not easy to fight, we have to fight, Your Highness has clearly instructed us to ensure that the cities of Volcano, Shuangdui and Vito are in our hands, and we must not let the plans of the Luzon and Comini people succeed, and we must also discuss how to fight this battle. ”

Helian Bo sighed, and while ordering someone to bring the detailed map of each province, he continued to scratch: " 200,000 to 500,000, it seems that His Royal Highness regards us as an iron army, and the combat effectiveness of the Luzon army may not be outstanding, but Frederick does have some ability, even his brother Gully and cousin Crouff are willing to give him military command, Gully Let's not talk about it, Crouff is a famous wisdom and courage in the Andes, and this trust alone is enough to prove Frederick's extraordinary. Against such a guy, you have to have more eyes at any time, and you have to think about what his intentions are in every move he makes, so that our energy is all trapped by him, passive step by step, beaten step by step, but we don't have the strength to act according to our own wishes, knowing that the other party intends to mobilize your attention, but you have to follow the other party's steps step by step, such a battle, Huyan, have you ever fought?"

"Helian, don't be too dissatisfied, if every battle is smooth, what else do you and I want to do? Tell you, like Lao Mu, they stayed in the Peninsula Alliance, and now there is nothing to do, is this kind of life comfortable? I don't see it, soldiers are born to fight, and they want to fight tough battles, hard battles and bloody battles, this can be called soldiers, those who stay in the military affairs bureau and the general staff, write and paint, design several plans, arrange some personnel adjustments, this is also called the army, this kind of life is to let me Hu Yanqiu to enjoy, I can't afford it, I would rather die on the battlefield than die in bed a hundred times stronger! I remember an old saying that a general dying in a hospital bed may be a blessing for the whole society, because it represents peace, but for a soldier, it is a shame that cannot be washed away!" Helian, why don't I let my Indean Legion defend Shuangdui and Volcano Mansion, but that reserve division has to be left behind for me, and you guard Vito, how about it?"

After hearing this, Helian Bo immediately became a little annoyed, "Huyan, what are you talking about? Are you despising my Second Legion? You are a crippled legion, and you are a guest from afar, but you have to defend more than two-thirds of the place, you obviously want my Second Legion to be unable to raise its head in the Western Frontier Army for the rest of my life, right?"

"Hehe, who made you always complain about grievances there?!If you don't accept it, then sprinkle your anger on the Luzon and Komini, I want to compete with you to see if your second army is stronger or my Indean army kills more enemies!"

Starting from Shuangdui, more than 200 miles away along the southeast avenue is the city of Manlon, which is now the northern important town of the Grand Duchy of Luzon. Originally, this was only a small city in central Luzon, and the location was not very important, but since the loss of North Luzon, it has become the first pass for the Luzon people to connect with North Luzon, northwest of North Luzon Shuangdui Mansion 260 miles, due north is the Tanghe people built their so-called North Luzon County Volcanic Mansion, a small place that was originally just a transit village actually became the central hub of North Luzon, and the straight-line distance from Manlon is only 170 miles, and the northeast direction is the only city in North Luzon when it was still part of the Grand Duchy of Luzon, and it is still the largest city in North Luzon。

Although the clouds of war shrouded the northern Luzon were more or less affected, the merchants' sense of smell was the most sensitive, and when they heard that the Luzon army was fully mobilizing for war, the merchants had some premonitions, and when it echoed it, the Corminian people also carried out a full military mobilization, what did this mean? The Pasha people in the south are still entangled with the people of the Southern Alliance, and after the moats of the major rivers in the south have a history of being broken through by the Pasha and Luzon, both sides have consciously strengthened the river defense to avoid similar phenomena. It is not clear who such a large-scale military mobilization will be aimed at, not to mention that the Luzon military seems to have determined that the ruler of Northern Luzon, Li Wufeng, is now unable to look westward, and can make all kinds of preparations in an orderly manner, and even coordinate time and fighters with his allies, which is really easy, at least from the current performance.

However, as long as the war does not start one day, the merchants still have to do everything possible to follow their own business tracks, even if the war starts, many businesses cannot be abolished, at most it is more risky and more troublesome, but the profits will also increase, which will not affect the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the merchants.

Crouff accompanied his cousin to Manlong City to inspect military affairs for more than a day, he is becoming more and more unable to understand his cousin, the soldiers are very fast, the large-scale military mobilization in the country has basically ended, everything is ready to stop, just waiting for him to give orders, but he has repeatedly asked to increase the intensity of inspection, to ensure that there are no problems to the greatest extent, the time has dragged on day by day, up to now, the number of troops gathered in Manlong City is less than 80,000, the increase is extremely slow, today a troop of 10,000 people has been transferred, but they are all reserve troops, such an army to defend may be barely enough, but it seemed to be difficult to launch an attack on the fortified cities in the western frontier, which made Kruf puzzled.

The military mobilization on the side of the Corminians is also gradually coming to an end, but his cousin still doesn't seem to have expressed anything, at first Kluff thought that his cousin didn't believe in the efficiency of the Corminis, and intended to wait until the Comini mobilization, but now it doesn't seem like it, Crouff's heart moved, did his cousin really wait for another looming ally of the Rope?

Looking at the people coming and going inside and outside the city of Manlon, there was always a contemplative expression on Frederick's handsome woman-like cheeks, as if he was studying the ins and outs of all this.

"Crouff, you said that this city of Manlon seems to me to be an ordinary city, even after the loss of Northern Luzon, Manlon is just a strategic location that has become more important, but look at the scene in front of you, how much more than the prosperity here has been in the previous two years? ”

It didn't seem to have expected that his cousin would still have the heart to ask these questions that had nothing to do with the war at this time, and Crouff thought for a while before reluctantly answering: "There is a special reason for this, first, the loss of North Luzon has actually pushed the city of Manlon to the position of the first-tier city on the border, and its location is moderate, just radiating to the three cities established by the Tanghe people in North Luzon in the north, especially after the establishment of the so-called Volcanic Mansion of North Luzon County, which is less than two hundred miles away from Manlon, it can be said that it is close at hand, uh, The people of the Tang River spared no expense to build the road from Vito to Manlon and then spent a lot of money to build the road from Shuangdui to Manlon, the central city of Northwest Luzon, and they even expressed their willingness to build the road to our territory, but we did not agree, so that the road conditions in our territory would be slightly worse, and now they are starting to build the road from the volcano to Manlon. Due to the opening of these roads, the trade routes of our traditional commodities to the west through Komini into the western continent have also begun to diverge, and the channels required have also undergone some changes, especially in the central and northern Luzon region, it should be said that the impact of this aspect is quite large, grain, coffee, tobacco, sugar, timber has become the bulk of exports to the north, and even some bits and pieces such as the sap and fruits on some trees are also imported in large quantities. ”

"Oh?" Crouff's last sentence caught Frederick's attention, "is there anything special about the sap and the fruit?"

"I have also sent an intelligence team to reconnoitre, but it has not been effective, but the sap of the gum tree should be related to the rubber skin researched by the Tanghe people, but this kind of research with very sophisticated and complex procedures is not what we are good at, and we are just suspicious, and we can't verify it ourselves. As for that kind of fruit, it seems to be called cinchona, which is said to be medicinous, and the other is the poppy fruit, which the Tanghe people call a hibiscus fruit, but this poppy fruit seems to be all made through smuggling channels and has not been approved by the other side. Kruff's familiarity with the situation surprised Frederick.
