Section 33 Fluttering
With an unfinished look on his face, Bi Xili was sitting on the main seat, and couldn't help but carefully savor the battle report sent from the front again, in fact, this battle report had been read several times a few days ago, but the joy of victory was really intoxicating, and he wanted to experience this atmosphere a few more times.
Lei Juetian, who was sitting on the side, also showed a rare expression of satisfaction on his face, "The two generals have completed this operation quite beautifully, our losses are small, and the Great Khan's funeral of Mantenis II is also very exciting, at least on the surface, it can save some morality for our military operation." Now the situation in Ankun City and the Kingdom of Jemero has basically stabilized, and the discipline of the army has been carried out quite well by the two generals, and there has been no disturbance to the people, which is very beneficial to us. I think the Great Khan will be able to declare these two places as my territory after a while, and a new state can be created. ”
"Huh, Juetian, isn't there still the Yuejing Kingdom? Now we can take advantage of the victory to return to the division and destroy the Yuejing Kingdom in one fell swoop, anyway, the situation between these two countries has stabilized, and this is also your original plan." When Bi Xili heard Lei Juetian's meaning, he seemed to want to stop the army, and he was a little unwilling, "The women of Yuejing Kingdom have white and delicate skin, and their surnames are gentle and soft, comparable to the women in the south of the Tang River Empire, I have been looking forward to it for a long time." ”
"Yuejing is already in the bag, and it is not too long or later. Lei Juetian shook his head confidently, and his face became serious, "But now that the Milanese are already arming themselves for war, and they are also in frequent contact with the Tang River Empire, and they want to join forces against us, this situation should also be taken seriously." ”
"Damn Milanese dogs, they're pulling our hind legs again, and one day I'm going to trample them under our feet. Bi Xili gritted his teeth and scolded, "But we still have 200,000 troops in our country, and we should be able to deal with the enemy's attack, right?"
"The provocation of the Milanese is nothing, what I am worried about is the reaction of the Tanghe people, the more than 200,000 troops of their southern military region were originally used against us, according to the current situation, although they have mobilized for war, but I estimate that they will really send troops, they also have many concerns, I don't think there is a need to provoke the Tanghe people for the time being. I carefully studied the wording of the ultimatum sent by the Don people, who simply demanded that we must immediately stop military operations and called on us to withdraw our troops from the occupied territories. These two sentences are very artistic, and the people of the Don River know that we will definitely not withdraw from the occupied areas, and they are not sure if we have other goals, so their ultimatum is only that we must stop new operations, and as for the withdrawal of troops, it is a call, and the tone is much more relaxed. ”
After thinking for a moment, Lei Juetian continued: "We can put on the appearance of attacking the Yuejing Kingdom, and at the same time negotiate with the Tang River people immediately, their diplomatic mission is coming soon, so that we can avoid the risk of becoming enemies of the Tang River people and the Milan people at the same time." Without the support of the Tanghe people, the Milanese are just a piece of cake, if they dare to come, they can't come and go, I believe they don't have the guts. ”
"Putting on the appearance of attacking Yuejing is probably to increase the bargaining chips in the negotiations, Juetian, you are really scheming. Bi Xili laughed, "It seems that my dream of a Yuejing woman will have to wait for a while." ”
"Yuejing must get its hands on it, its geographical location is too important, and the grain output is not small, take it, we can look down on the southern passage of the land route of the Eastern Continent, and even the southern coastal countries, and it is not very far from the sea we dream of, but the current situation does not allow it, but as long as we use the two pieces of land obtained in this war now to accelerate economic development and further enhance our economic and military strength, it will be easy to take Yuejing when the time comes. Lei Juetian's mind had already flown thousands of miles away, imagining the prospect of a powerful Maqi Khanate, "As for women, what is it, as long as the Great Khan sends a letter, in this situation, the requirements of the Great Khan, the people of Yuejing are afraid that they will not be able to ask for it, and they will immediately send it obediently, as much as they want." ”
"No hurry, no hurry, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. Bihili laughed, "However, tell Mingzhong to order the army to raise their alert, just in case." In addition, he ordered Ya Ning and Pu Tiancheng to step up propaganda and education in military discipline, maintain the achievements made in the early stage, and ask them to understand this issue from a strategic height, and absolutely not to have incidents that damage the image of the army. Bi Xili and Lei Juetian have the same deep understanding of this issue.
Lei Juetian admired his Great Khan for never being ambiguous in major matters, and nodded approvingly, "My subordinates will arrange it immediately." ”
Just when our army was gearing up for a big battle, unsettling news came from the intelligence department. The rebel armies in the two provinces of Debonam seemed to have heard some rumors, and they invariably contracted their defensive lines and concentrated their troops, and what was even more anxious was that the rebel armies had begun to unite, which gave me a great headache.
It turned out that my plan was to take advantage of the fact that the rebel armies were not subordinate to each other and had no contact with each other, and planned to concentrate their superior forces to break each one, so that Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu each led a battle group to march to Guide and Bonan respectively. But now that the situation has changed dramatically, it is necessary for commanders to be flexible in their grasp of the actual situation and not stick to the plans made before the war. Although I have quite strong confidence in the two of them, but after all, this is such a large military operation carried out by the two of them alone, once the chaotic army is concentrated, it will far exceed our army in number, I hope that the two can judge the situation and make a correct judgment according to the changes in the battlefield situation, I exhaled softly, walked out of the study, looked at the dark night sky, and silently wished.
Seeing the army nervously encamped, ready to start camping, everywhere was a busy scene of people shouting and neighing, the soldiers were busy erecting the horse rejection stakes and began to dig improvised trenches, the banners of the large battalion were hunting in the strong northwest wind, and some camp tents had even begun to rise curling smoke.
"Lao Ka, we have gone deep into Germany for more than 200 miles, but it seems that the situation has changed a little, so far, our reconnaissance troops have not found a single soldier of the chaotic army. Cui Wenxiu's forehead was deeply locked, and he was obviously a little worried about the current situation.
"Yes, according to the information before our departure, there should be more than 30,000 chaotic troops in this area, among which the 'Immortal Society' has entangled nearly 30,000 chaotic troops, and now they have disappeared from the sky. More than 30,000 people, this is not a small number, could it be that the enemy has sensed our intentions and escaped from our encirclement?"
Five days ago, the two divisions of Choi Wenxiu and Kamapov set out separately from Qingyang and entered Guide by encirclement in the south and north, hoping to annihilate the rebellious army headed by the "Changsheng Society" in the western part of Guide. However, it has been five days since entering the territory of Guide, and except for Chidi Qianli after the war, almost no rebel army has been found. It took great effort for the reconnaissance unit to learn from the local people who were in hiding that the rebel side had disappeared a week before the counterinsurgency army arrived, as if it had moved to the northeast.
The northeast direction should be the sphere of influence of horse thieves dominated by the Iron Cavalry, could it be said that the two sides want to unite? But after launching a rebellion for so long, I have not heard of any movement between the two sides to unite, why did this side just prepare to make a move, and that side slipped away in advance? His own reconnaissance unit has been searching for two days, covering the entire western part of Guide, which is flat, and there are no big forests and mountains, and there is no place for tens of thousands of people to hide, which shows that the rebel army does not exist in the western part of Guide, and the intelligence that sneaked into the northern part of Guide should be accurate, which also shows that the possibility of a joint relationship between the two sides is very large. There has been no news from the inside line of his side and the inner line of the Snow Mountain faction in the past few days, I don't know if there is something wrong, or if it has been delayed by something?
Cui Wenxiu and Kamapov were patrolling the camp, and at the same time, they were also silently sorting out the various problems in their minds. Unless someone is secretly conniving, deliberately uniting several sides to fight against the purge of their own army. But how does the enemy grasp the movements of his own army, and who can unite the rebellious armies of several sides, which are not buying each other?
While thinking about it, I was secretly frightened. Those who can indulge these parties must be those who can convince these parties, and those who can convince several parties must be those who have considerable strength in the near future, and only in this way can these parties obey their arrangements with peace of mind, otherwise once the matter is exposed, they can also be invincible.
But who is the indulger behind this? Cui Wenxiu fell into a bitter thought.
Before leaving, Master Li had explained to himself that he would be outside, and that he would not be subject to the king's orders, and that he could readjust and deploy the plan according to the changes in the actual situation on the battlefield, but now the enemy could not be seen at all, and the two armies had converged, and the reconnaissance cavalry had been sent out, and the entire western part of Guide had been reconnoitred, but the target of attack could not be found, which was really unexpected.
If other forces intervene, this will make the situation in the Northwest County even more confusing, and the black hand hidden behind it will really choose the right time. The Kamans, the Sithroes, or Sun Yuanliang, or two or even three of the three colluded to support the rebels? If this were the case, the situation would be very bad.
In the face of this sudden change, although Cui Wenxiu was very confused, but did not hesitate, that night, he and Kamapov discussed and made a decision, changed the original plan to annihilate the chaotic army, first entered the city of Guide, and then took the city as a stronghold, divided the troops into two routes, adopted the principle of step-by-step battalion, concentrated superior forces, and gradually cleared the eastern, northern and southern parts of Guide, and immediately reported the change of situation to Qingyang.
In contrast, counterinsurgency operations in Bo Nam province to the south are proceeding much more smoothly. Although the rebel army also showed signs of shrinking its defense, it was much slower to move, and it seemed that the forces of several sides were far less than the unity of the rebel army of Guide, and although the several sides had retreated, they were not concentrated, and they were still in contact with our army in the internal response that we had sent to them, and it was our army that firmly grasped the dynamics of the enemy army.
On November 5, Liang Chongxin and Mu Lige led an army of 50,000 to Xiangshanji, an important town in the southwest of Bonan Province, where they bit a part of the western rebel army and formed a confrontation situation with about 30,000 rebel troops gathered nearby, while the other rebel army rushed here in the starry night, intending to reinforce the rebel army here.
"Old Mu, talk about your thoughts. The dancing flames on the butter candles in the tent were blown a little by the cold wind that came in from time to time through the cracks in the tent, and the reflection of the two sturdy figures in the tent was also a little uncertain.
