At the same time, Sun Yuanliang, the city guard of Yinchuan Prefecture, also issued an order, ordering the three garrison divisions under his command to enter a state of alert, and the Yinchuan Second Garrison Division, which had been stationed in the north at the junction with the Sislo Empire, also quickly retreated and returned to the outskirts of Yinchuan Prefecture to station, while the First Garrison Division and the Third Garrison Division entered a state of combat readiness, and a large number of scouts swam in the area where Yinchuan was on the border with Qingyang and Guide, keeping an eye on the changes in the situation of the neighbors to the south. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the office of the Northwest Military and Political Envoy in Qingyang City, Xiao Tang, who had serious faces, and Su Qin, who was thoughtful, were carefully reading the information submitted by the intelligence department, while Ling Tianfang, who was sitting opposite the two, had a calm face and no expression.

"Brother Ling, what do you think of this situation?" Xiao Tang asked calmly after reading the things in his hand.

"It's not a big deal, Sun Yuanliang can't afford to make a lot of waves, if he dares to come, we can't ask for it, I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts." Ling Tianfang smiled slightly.

"Well, you're so sure, that's good, I also think how can this Sun Yuanliang have the idea of going south? Unless he has the support of the Sithroes behind him, but the intelligence shows that the Nuremberg army has not moved. Xiao Tang breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't believe that Sun Yuanliang dared to go south, but Wu Feng was not there, he took on a greater responsibility, and had to be more cautious.

"I see that this Sun Yuanliang shrinks the army, it doesn't seem that he wants to take any action, but rather that he is taking precautions, is he worried that our drama is trying to take the opportunity to make an attempt against Yinchuan?" Su Qin took a sip of the clouds and peaks (a famous tea produced in Bashan Mansion, Guanxi County) that was floating in the mist, and put forward his opinion.

"Well, that makes sense, quite possibly. He is now gathering the troops of the three divisions near Yinchuan Fucheng, but there is no other action, it is clearly a defensive posture, who is it aimed at? Sithlo people, it is impossible, and the Mote people in the west, it is even more impossible, then it is only us, who told our Guide Garrison Division to move this way?" Ling Tianfang's eyes lit up, and he nodded slowly.

"If that's the case, our play is really not good enough, even Sun Yuanliang doesn't believe us. Xiao Tang said sullenly, "Isn't it still unknown if the adult wants to come back?"

Sun Yuanliang is an old fox, he sees the situation on our side very clearly, he doesn't believe that the Gaoyue people will mutiny at all, so he is worried that we are creating a false impression that we are actually trying to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Yinchuan. Ling Tianfang looked helpless.

"It seems that we have to work harder, I'm afraid the court won't believe it so easily, it's hard to say how much weight these nobles have in the minds of His Majesty the Emperor and the important ministers of the court. Su Qin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we have to find another way." ”

"Yes, many people in the court are very wary of adults now, and it may not be so simple to get them back. Xiao Tang also nodded in agreement.

"Wait and see, I always have a feeling that something will happen in the near future, but I can't predict it. Ling Tianfang stood up a little irritably, and he still couldn't let go of something in his heart.

On Stanley Street in Budley, the capital of the Kaman Kingdom, the Prime Minister's Mansion looks particularly magnificent in the afterglow of the sunset.

The main building of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a grand council hall, the outside is made of gray-white tuff masonry, the lower two floors are decorated with coupon pillars, the top layer of solid walls is divided by pilasters, a small window is opened in the center of each bay, and a bronze shield is hung, which is picked out by corbels to support the hanging pillars on the top.

The interior of the chamber is quite ornately decorated, but it is all flat, and there is no use of voluminous moldings and carvings. The piers and walls are veneered with white, green, red, black and other colored marbles, and the stone grains are undulating like ocean waves. The sail arches and domes are decorated with stained glass mosaics with gold leaf, and at night they can be seen glittering in the dim light.

There were still those people in the big council hall, Gomez, who was as steady as Tarzan, had a solemn face, his fat body pressed the mahogany chair creaked, the curtain behind him had been opened, and a huge schematic map of the situation around the Kaman Empire was presented in front of everyone, and the various fortresses, passes, towns, mountains, rivers, roads, etc. were clearly displayed one by one, allowing people to see them at a glance.

"Nick, how is your army preparing?" Gomez's fat cheek muscles quivered.

"Prime Minister, everything is ready. Nick still had that aloof look.

"Well, General Miley, where are you?" Gomez turned his gaze to the silver-haired Duke Miley.

"Well, there should be no problem, but I'm worried about whether the storming of Jiayuguan will work?" there was always a faint worry on Miley's face.

"It is inevitable that there will be a certain loss, Jiayu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be described as a pass, ten thousand people are not open, whether it is from the south to the north or from the north to the south to attack is quite difficult, but the position of this pass is too important for us, as long as we win this level, I think even the loss of some men and horses is worth it." Gomez's eyes showed a decisive glint, "It's a pity that Li Wufeng couldn't return to the northwest, otherwise maybe we wouldn't have used this method." ”

"Prime Minister, I think it may be more troublesome if Li Wufeng returns to the northwest, this guy is cunning and won't be easy to fall for it, I think it may be more beneficial for us if he is not in the northwest this time, at least don't worry about him colluding with Fielding. Now the situation in the northwest is chaotic, no matter what they are tired of, but at least they can't be distracted for a while, if they want to take care of this side, I'm afraid it's not a matter of a day or two, and if they really want to send troops, I'm afraid that Li Wufeng has to answer the northwest, and now the emperor of the Tanghe people seems to have been very wary of Li Wufeng, I think it will be difficult for Li Wufeng to return to the northwest. Claudia has become the third person in addition to Nick and Miley, who are known as the twin pillars of the Kaman military empire, and this time he will be the main attack on Jiayu Pass.

"This is indeed our best chance, if it weren't for the third division to change the guard to Jiayuguan, I would never agree to this plan, if there is no internal response, we will at least pay more than five times the price. Duke Miley, who has always been calm, also expressed his opinion, "I hope that the pawns of our intelligence department can play a big role." ”

"There should be no problem, to sacrifice him, Basten is really a little reluctant, according to him, in another year and a half, that person should be able to climb to a higher position, and can play a greater role. Gomez explained with a smile, "It took a lot of effort from the intelligence department to get this guy." ”

"Hmph, wait another year and a half, maybe there won't be such a good opportunity, what's the use of him climbing high?" Claudia snorted coldly, "We need people who can make a difference, not people who are in a high position." ”

"Of course, so we must achieve our goal this time, we must be absolutely sure that we will use him again, we must not expose it too early, lose the fighter, and we would rather sacrifice some more men and horses to achieve the goal, Claudia, you must remember this. Gomez said solemnly.

"Understood. Claudia nodded cautiously.

"Also, Nick, you must step up the offensive on your side, and you must firmly stick the troops of the Tang River people there to ensure the smooth implementation of the whole plan. Gomez admonished again.

Nick, who looked indifferent, just nodded silently in understanding.

"General Miley, your task is also very arduous, you must not let the reinforcements of Taixuan Mansion, even the Tanghe people or the reinforcements from the northwest, get one step closer to Jiayuguan, this is the key, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain. Gomez's eyes were already shining, and the people also stood up, "As long as we take Jiayuguan, the hinterland of the Tanghe people will be completely exposed to us, and the Tanghe people will no longer have the strength to take care of the affairs of Gerok, and at that time, it will be good if they can keep their own territory, as for Gerok, hehe, it will definitely become an inseparable part of our great Kaman Empire!"

In July 695 of the continental calendar, the Principality of Gelok reappeared, after more than three years of calm. The Kaman army, which had secretly gathered more than 100,000 troops, launched a surprise attack on the Van Lin region in the northeast of the Principality of Gerlok on July 3 under the leadership of Duke Nick, the number one general of the empire.

On July 7, the Kaman army, led by Nick, surrounded the city of Van Lin, and the attack and defense of Van Lin officially began. Since most of the army of the Principality of Gerlok had been mobilized to the Jiama region and was preparing to recover the Jiama region, unexpectedly, there were only less than 20,000 defending troops left in the city of Van Lin, and the defeated army that retreated from the northern border was only more than 40,000 people, and the combat effectiveness was far inferior to the opponent. For a time, the city of Van Lin was in a state of turmoil, and it was in danger under the frantic offensive of the Kamans. The country of Gelok was shocked.

In a panic, the Grand Duke of Gerok ordered the royal forest corps of the royal family stationed in the capital to strengthen the defense of the capital on the one hand, and on the other hand, ordered the two corps stationed in the Jiama area to return to the northeast battlefield as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Fanlin City. At the same time, the Minister of State of the Duke of Gerok [***] immediately rushed to the border between the Duchy and the Empire, asking the local garrison of the Empire to respond quickly, and on the other hand, Grand Duke Henry V personally went to Yanjing Zhongzhou to ask for urgent assistance from the Empire.

At the same time, the Kaman army stationed in Jiama City also moved quickly to cooperate with the military operations in the northeast theater. On July 14, Duke Miley, the commander of the Karman front in the Jiama area, took advantage of the transfer of the Gerok army to launch an offensive against the Gerlock army stationed around the Jiama area, and in one fell swoop broke the southern defense line of the Jiama area, causing a great shock to the Tang River Empire. Once the southern line is broken, the Kaman army can easily move southward, without any hindrance in between, cross the Ram River, cross the Bode Plain, and then step into the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Tang River Empire.

In order to prevent the collapse of the entire army of Gerok, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the 3rd Army Corps of the Western Military District, stationed south of Jerok, quickly marched into the southern part of the Principality of Jerok on 17 July and crossed the Bode Plain to join the southern defense line of Gelok in the Jiama area. After receiving reinforcements from the two main army divisions of the Empire, the defensive situation of the Gerok army in the Jiama region immediately stabilized and developed in favor of the Principality of Gerok.

On July 18, the 4th Division of the Northern Military Region and the 2nd Division of the Northern Military Region also crossed the border and entered the territory of the Principality of Jieluo, and the Empire began to fully intervene in the battle of Jieluo.
