Chapter 724: A three-step strategy to drive away tigers and wolves

The army of Cuiyun City is a whole, although it is divided into five military camps, but if they want to go on the expedition, they need to be united and form a whole.

Therefore, when Liu Tingfeng started training in the Chinese army, the Chinese army quickly let those who learned faster spread the training method to the four military camps in the southeast, northwest and northwest in a timely manner.

However, Liu Tingfeng himself has always been stationed in the Chinese army, as the general of the town army, the first thing he has to conquer is the most powerful and important Chinese army, and he must first familiarize himself with the four small military camps of the Chinese army before he can consider the next step of overall integration.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Tingfeng spent three months in the barracks, and in just three months, the army in Cuiyun City had undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the first month, he trained the soldiers in the basics, improved their physical fitness, and adapted to survivability in the forest.

In the second month, they began to practice military physical boxing and martial arts to improve their personal combat effectiveness.

The third month is to improve the cooperation of soldiers and the overall combat capability of the army in battles.

In the past three months, Liu Tingfeng only returned to Yulan City once in half a month to personally report the progress and effectiveness of the training to Mu Qianmei.

In fact, even if she doesn't need him to report, Mu Qianmei can know their training every day, but both of them want to have a little alone time, and spend a time in the world of the two, and after each meeting, they can meet new challenges with a better mental state.

In the middle of the third month, each of the five barracks held an internal competition, and then a new team was formed from the best soldiers in the barracks.

At the end of the third month, a big competition was held in the city, that is, a competition between five military camps, and in the end, the Chinese army won the individual and team competitions by an overwhelming margin.

Liu Tingfeng has therefore become the idol in the minds of all soldiers, and this time the worship is deeper than the previous worship of him, the previous worship was only because he achieved an excellent ranking in the big competition, but this time, it was because he erected a very high prestige in the army.

His training method has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of all the soldiers, and this close feeling is naturally more intimate and profound.

Even the four generals Li Yun, Chen Xiong, Liu Ying, and Guan Lin, who were not optimistic about him before, completely changed their views and attitudes towards him, and accepted the existence of this general of the town army from the bottom of their hearts.

After the end of the army's big competition, it was almost time for the New Year, and there were still three days to go before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Liu Tingfeng is still living with the soldiers in the barracks, while in Yulan City, two visiting groups have already returned.

The first to return was the delegation that visited Yong'an City, and the news brought back was just as Mu Qianmei expected, Wu Changkong agreed to a temporary truce, but did not agree to join forces to resist the enemy.

Later, they returned to visit the delegation of the four countries stationed in the temporary residence in the territory of Xiyu Kingdom, and the news brought back was also as predicted by Mu Qianmei, they did not recognize the status of the Yulan City Imperial Court, and only recognized that the Imperial Court of Yong'an City Wu Changkong was the authentic Imperial Court of Xiyu Kingdom.

Their reasons are also very sufficient, the emperor of Xiyu Kingdom can only be inherited by the lineage of the Wu royal family, and Mu Qianmei, the heavenly king canonized by the imperial court of Yulan City, they do not approve of it.

Since she didn't even recognize Mu Qianmei's identity, she naturally wouldn't negotiate with them about any major matters between countries.

On the Heavenly King Palace, Mu Qianmei sat on the Heavenly Throne, listening carefully to the report of the envoy of the visiting delegation, the expression on her face had always been very indifferent, without any obvious fluctuations, after listening, she did not immediately comment on it, but asked casually:

"In the Shikoku garrison, what is the living condition of the people of our Xiyu Country?"

The envoy of the visiting delegation said with a sad face:

"Now that the area divided by the four countries has almost been dominated and ruled by them, all the industries are under their control, and the people of our Xiyu country have become cheap laborers, working for them."

"Among them, some big families with prestige and status have become their accomplices."

"What is even more tragic is that our people seem to be resigned, shy and not averse to such domination."

Mu Qianmei had a contemplative expression on her face, she was also very familiar with such a scene, what the people thought about every day was how to fill their stomachs, when the civil war broke out, many people couldn't even eat, how could they have any patriotic thoughts, and now after foreign forces settled in, they lived a peaceful life instead.

For them, it is very happy to work for whomever they want, and to have work to do and food to eat, which is much better than being threatened at any time in the flames of war.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Qianmei then asked:

"Have they done anything to insult our people?"

An angry expression suddenly appeared on the face of the envoy of the visiting delegation, and he said in a deep voice:

"In a conspicuous position outside the Shikoku garrison, a large sign was hung that said, 'Westerners and dogs are not allowed.' What's even more sad is that guarding the door is still our people from the West Rain Country. ”

As soon as his words fell, before Mu Qianmei could speak, the civil and military officials in the hall began to discuss with righteous indignation-

How can they be so deceitful? What a blatant insult! ”

"Yes, how can we compare our countrymen with dogs?"

"Those Xiyu people who guard the door for them, I really don't know what they think, do they dare to be insulted so much?"

"Some people, as long as they give him some benefits, they can sell anything, and they don't even want their dignity."

"For those who are willing to be dogs, we must get rid of them as soon as possible, otherwise, their destructive power is stronger than that of foreign forces."

"Yes, they are familiar with the West Rain Country, so they have become a powerful accomplice of foreign forces, foreign forces have plundered a lot of wealth from the West Rain Country, and then they can take out a little bit of it, so that this part of the people of the West Rain Country can be willing to be dogs for them, hey, it's really sad!"

……

Mu Qianmei listened to everyone's discussions, with a sad expression on her face, in fact, in her heart, she was also shocked, the history was so similar, she couldn't be more familiar with it, but she didn't expect that one day she would encounter such a thing in person.

Even though she wasn't there, the image suddenly came to her mind.

In the places where the four countries are stationed, they occupy the magpie's nest, as if they have become the masters of those areas, for them, without spending a single soldier, they can successfully rule these areas, this is the strategy in the army.

After they settled in under the pretext of supporting the people of Xiyu Country to rebuild their homes, they made great acquisitions of those industries in each city, first controlling the economic lifeline of the ruling area, and then buying a large number of people from the slave Xiyu Country and making them tools of rule.

After everyone's discussion gradually stopped, Mu Qianmei continued to ask:

"How many people in the West Rain Country are working for them in the area they control?"

The envoy of the visiting delegation thought about it for a while, and then said in a sad tone:

"Four countries, each country has sent a million troops to settle in, and the people who have joined their camp in our Xiyu Country add up to about a million, because some of them are the leaders of a feudal town, or the leader of a gang, and they take refuge with their own troops."

"Therefore, on the surface, all the managers seem to be their own people in the Xiyu Country, but in fact, they are just puppets."

After hearing these words, a military general came out angrily and said:

"The last general asks to lead an army to drive these invaders out of our land, and hope for heaven!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people said in unison:

"The ministers seconded it!"

Mu Qianmei said slowly:

"The Lone King understands your feelings very well, but it is not the best policy for us to send troops directly at this time, because our troops are limited, if we go to war directly, the four countries will inevitably join forces, in addition to the cooperation of our people from the Xiyu Country, they can also continue to increase troops from within the country, and our Xiyu Country is already difficult to increase its strength due to too much internal friction."

"Therefore, if you want to drive them out, you must rush them, but how to drive them, you must pay attention to a strategy, and sending troops directly is just a momentary speed, and it is very likely that they will send soldiers from the Xiyu Kingdom belonging to them to fight against us, won't they kill many of their own compatriots?"

The general said in an angry tone:

"They should also be killed, and they are willing to be other people's lackeys for a little profit, what are such people kept for?"

Mu Qianmei said in a calm tone:

"If this is the case, then we are in the hands of the enemy, and they want us to continue to kill each other, and when we are defeated, they themselves will directly rule our country without losing a single soldier, and the final result will be that we will not only fail to defend the country, but will hasten the destruction of the country."

The military general was speechless for a while, the expression on his face looked particularly aggrieved, others had stepped on his head, and he couldn't fight back immediately, as a general, what he didn't like the most was this feeling.

After a while, he calmed down his emotions before asking in a deep voice:

"I wonder what the Heavenly King has to do?"

Mu Qianmei said without hesitation:

"A tooth for a tooth, we must treat others in the same way, they start with the control of the economy, and we will quickly take back the industries they control back into our hands, and we cannot let them continue to control the economic lifeline of the ruling area."

"Secondly, it is necessary to vigorously propagate the idea of not being slaves to the country, awaken those who are obsessed with it for a while, and pull these people into our camp, so as to weaken their power."

"The third step is to split the forces of the four countries as soon as possible, so that they cannot become a real alliance, if they can be able to kill each other, even if it can't be done, we can break each other, so that it is possible to achieve the final victory."

"In the face of the army of tigers and wolves, the use of troops is the last helpless choice, and we try to avoid large-scale direct war."
