Although Merrington was saved, he lost the vital Lulong Mansion, and even the Partridge Pass was almost lost, if it weren't for the fact that Shenei and Yue Shan were well prepared and reacted quickly, then their eastward march would have been really completely blocked. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Wufeng sullenly led the troops south along the southwest border, and two days later arrived at the junction of Guide and Lulong, where the remnants of the 1st Garrison Division and the 2nd Garrison Division led by Mi Feng were already waiting.

After reading the intelligence materials silently, Wu Feng chewed for a while before raising his head and asking: "Master Mi, isn't there any warning of the sudden rebellion of the Second Garrison Division? Who is the deputy division commander of the Second Garrison Division? How did he climb to this position? What is the internal affairs department doing? Gu Liangchen, how did you do it?"

The first few sentences were polite to Slit, but when the last sentence was asked about Gu Liangchen, Wu Feng's tone had become loud.

Beads of sweat the size of beans gushed out from Gu Liangchen's forehead, and although his face was extremely pale, Gu Liangchen still did not refute a word.

"My lord, please don't blame Lord Gu, all the responsibility lies with Mi Feng, and Mi Feng is willing to take all the responsibilities. Mi Feng stood up with a heavy face and saluted with a fist.

A little displeased frowned, Wu Feng paused before saying: "Master Mi, let's not talk about who is responsible, since Gu Liangchen is the director of administration and the director of the internal affairs, he should be responsible for the appointment review of the chief officer at the division and regiment level, and it is not his responsibility to make such a major mistake?"

"My lord, there are some situations that you may not know much about. The Second Garrison Division is actually adapted from the original reserve force, and the division commander may know that he was sent by the First Garrison Division, but because the number of officers in the First Garrison Division is also insufficient, and this guy is extremely good in the reserve, he is very popular with the soldiers, and even Mi Feng was deceived and deceived, so he tried his best to guarantee and recommend it to Lord Gu when he made a routine review, all of which was Mi Feng's fault and had nothing to do with Lord Gu. At this point, Mi Feng was very calm, he didn't want others to bear the blame for him, so he took the initiative to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

"Master Mi, do you mean that the rebellion of the Second Garrison Division was purely accidental, and you didn't even know any information in advance?" Wu Feng was a little unconvinced, such a large-scale rebellion, if the Ministry of the Interior didn't even know a little bit of information, this can only show the dereliction of duty of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it can't explain anything else.

"To be honest, my lord, this was a bit of a surprise, but I don't want to shirk our responsibility. Mi Feng turned out to be only the head of the garrison, and he was not familiar with Lu Long's other management aspects, how did Lord Gu first arrive, and the situation was even more unclear, it turned out that all the intelligence and information materials of Lu Long's internal affairs department were destroyed by fire by the previous director of the internal affairs department, that is, the rebel party of the Taiping Sect, and now it seems that they had premeditated at the beginning. There are quite a few reservists who seem to be hidden Taiping backbones, and we have indeed overlooked some of them on this point. The enemy's troops deliberately caused tension and forced us to send the 2nd Garrison Division to the front line, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it, and their internal and external collusion led to ;;;;;;" Mi Feng, who was full of shame, said that he could no longer say this.

After listening to Mi Feng's introduction, Wu Feng shook his head and said: "This does not become a reason for the internal affairs department's negligence, the short time in office is only an objective reason, Gu Liangchen, I specially arranged for you to assist Mi Daren in Lu Long, which in itself tells you that Lu Long's Taiping Sect infiltration is very powerful, although on the surface the Taiping Army was expelled from the city by us, but inside they have been preaching in Beiyuan County for more than ten years, how deep their foundation is, how can they be so easy and willing to quit? Could it be that you Gu Liangchen have no responsibility?"

"My lord, Gu Liangchen knows that he has a great responsibility, please punish him. Gu Liangchen, who had not spoken all this time, finally opened his mouth to plead guilty.

"Well, Lu Long was originally a region directly under the jurisdiction of the empire, although you were originally an official in the northwest, but now you are no longer under the jurisdiction of this seat, and this seat has no right to intervene in such matters of accountability, and there will be an imperial supervision department to deal with it in the future. It's just that I want to remind you that although Lu Long is lost at the moment, we must do everything possible to recapture it, and before dealing with it, I hope you can reflect on it, find out the weaknesses of the Taiping Sect in Lu Long, and prepare us for the next step to recapture Lu Long. Wu Feng also knew that it was a little unfair to attribute all the blame to Gu Liangchen, but he deliberately arranged for him to go to Lu Long but ended up like this, and he was really a little angry in his heart, and he didn't want to ring the alarm bell, but he was afraid that this guy would not be able to understand himself correctly, which would be more beneficial to his future maturity.

After the two left, Wu Feng stayed alone in the tent and pondered silently, what should he do now? The defense of Partridge Pass must be strengthened, and the Taiping Sect people have suffered a great loss there, so they will definitely be vigilant, and the situation facing there is that they are attacked on three sides, and if the enemy launches a second attack, the situation will definitely be different, and he must be cautious.

It's not a way to stay here, once the fighter plane is lost, even if it costs several times the price, it may not be able to recover, since Lu Long has been lost, he doesn't have to worry too much about it, but what should he do next?

Some confused eyes wandered around the map on the desk, once the western invasion of the Motts was over, the threat of the Sithroes to the northwest would be restored, and the defense of Yinchuan Prefecture in the north would be under great pressure. Although Jin Zecheng has a strong style, he has limited troops, and once he faces the attack of the two coalition forces of the Siathrow and Sun Yuanhui, without the support of the reserves, he is not sure whether he can withstand it.

Loulan in the Western Regions has always been a scourge, especially once it is put into the arms of the Luope people, it will become a nail inserted in their ribs, and they can cut their territory into two sections at any time, if the Gaochang people are mixed up again, then the danger of Qingyang will also be greatly increased, but now this possibility is still relatively small, especially the two ends of the Gaochang people's head and rat, and they will not easily put themselves into either side, but this is always a threat, and the last thing they can bear is this feeling of thorns in their backs, but now the conditions are not ripe, and they can only grit their teeth and endure it。

The Bega people, the Kucha people, the Wusun people, Wu Feng silently muttered about the countries of the Western Regions, except for Wusun and Bega can be ignored for the time being, the current performance of the Kuqa people seems to be a little wavering. The information from Jinning shows that the situation in Kuqa has changed a lot compared with some time ago, it seems that the nobles in their country are no longer too enthusiastic about the alliance in the Western Regions, the completion of the Bauhinia Pass and the defeat of the alliance between the two countries in Baijialoulan a few years ago, and the current situation in Baijia have given them a deep stimulus, and the pro-northwest forces have risen rapidly, and the forces of the original neutral faction have thrown themselves into the pro-northwest faction, while the pro-Luobei faction and the faction that supports the establishment of the Western Regions military alliance are gradually declining, and the situation in Kuqa is developing in favor of their own side。

It seems that it is necessary to seize the opportunity to exert a force, and it is best to find one or two nobles with real power in their country as their spokesmen, promote the goodwill between Kuqa and the northwest, and make the situation in Kuqa completely tilted to their side. As long as they can firmly control the three kingdoms of Wusun, Bega and Kucha, it will be difficult for the Luope people to make any waves.

Silently combing through the changes in the situation around his territory, Wu Feng did not have the slightest joy. Although the current situation of Gerok has stabilized, Wu Feng knows that this time it is all thanks to the rebellion of the Caman people in the north of the Baiyin barbarians to give him this opportunity, but the Baiyin barbarians will definitely not be the opponent of the regular Kaman army, defeat is a matter of time, once the Kamans solve their worries, then Merrington and even his own Taixuan Mansion will fall into a huge threat. This is always an unsolvable knot, and it is an irreconcilable contradiction, the Kaman people want to go south, and their goal is to expand eastward, the focus of the two sides will meet sooner or later, but if you want to completely defeat the idea of the Kaman people going south, no one has this strength now, and they are even worse.

If you want to hold the Kamans in check, you can either start with the opposition of Gomez, the prime minister who is in the vanguard of the invasion of the central and southern regions, or start with the Baiyin barbarians in the north, or take both measures, so that Gomez will be unable to take care of the head and tail and be unable to go south. Gomez has monopoly power in the Kaman Empire, there will definitely be many political enemies, compared to their emperor is not very willing to see the power of one person, if there is a contradiction, it can be provoked and intensified, if there is no contradiction, you might as well create some, maybe it can have an unexpected effect. Let's see if we can make a fuss about the relationship between the three northern countries, the same clan and the same clan do not mean that there are no differences, as long as there are differences, there is something to be used, all this let Su Qin worry about it.

With a long exhale, Wu Feng stood up and slowly paced up the tent. It's been a long time since I've been alone and quietly thinking about things like this, and many of the problems in the early stage are also a little lacking in thoughtful and comprehensive consideration, especially not considering the response to accidents and failures, it seems that there are still some proud and contemptuous thoughts of the enemy at work, and the corners of Wufeng's mouth flashed a wry smile. Needless to say, the generals under his command don't even seem to have the word failure in their subconscious, and it seems to have become a mindset when it goes much smoother, and they always think that they should succeed with their hands on the horse, hehe, this can be regarded as a profound lesson.

How long is the road to the Central Plains, he just took the first step and took a blow to the head, and now only the Partridge Pass is left as a bridgehead, but there is still Longdong Mansion City in front of it, if you want to go east, you must first move this big stone. This is the choke point that connects the Taiping army with the nest of the Taiping Sect in the north, how can the Taiping army not pay attention to it? Even the great army of the empire has returned in front of them, and if they want to get through here, can they do it? And once it is opened, the orders of the empire can reach the northwest, will it hinder the actions that are already used to freedom?

This series of problems was entangled in Wufeng's goodness, lingering, and a misstep became a thousand years of hatred, and his own negligence made the situation of eastward expansion so confusing, and Wufeng was also annoyed when he thought of this.
