Chapter 643: Imperial Driving

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "If I don't know that Xin Jiyao is pretending to be sick, I may still join forces with the Ningnan Army, but now that I know that she is pretending to be sick, I think there is no need for that, with Xin Jiyao's scheming and deceit, the Zhengxi Group Army is fully capable of defending the two cities of Navia and Tulana on its own, and our army is here to assist in the defense, which is really a superfluous move!"

Meng Qiuchen nodded and said, "Since the Lord has made a decision, then our army's actions need to be done as soon as possible, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy, and the Besa people will notice our army's next move and take precautions in advance, which will be extremely detrimental to the great cause of our army!"

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment and said categorically: "Early tomorrow morning, send someone to Wangturana and inform Xin Jiyao that our army will evacuate Navia and march north to Goro, the capital of Besa. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition, send someone to Solan City again, and inform the lord of the Solan city-state, Duke Huade, that when our army goes north, it will pass through his Solan City!"

The city-state of Solan, a large city-state in Besa, belongs to a territory called Theolen, with a total area roughly equivalent to Nasikya, but unlike the vast and sparsely populated Nasikia, Theoron is a vast and densely populated, economically prosperous, highly developed civilization, and the total population of the city-state exceeds 20 million.

There are 100,000 standing city-state troops alone, and if you count the reserves, and the noble family army within the Solan city-state, the total strength is far more than 100,000.

At present, the military strength of the Solan city-state is concentrated in Solan City, and its strength should not be underestimated. Input to the website: heiyaпge to watch the intoxicated Zhang Jie

But Shangguan Xiu had to send someone to Solan City in advance to inform the lord Duke Scott Walter that his army would pass through Solan City, which was tantamount to making Solan City-states prepare for defense in advance.

For Shangguan Xiu's order, Luo Ren and the others were very puzzled, and they objected one after another, saying: "My lord, the military strength of the Solan city-state is extremely strong, our army has attacked Solan City, and it is also Solan City that is ready for war, I am afraid, this battle is not easy to win, and the war drags on, which is very unfavorable to the situation of our army!"

"Yes, my lord, even if our army finally defeats Solan City, I am afraid that it will also lose a lot of troops, please think twice!"

None of the generals understood what Shangguan Xiu meant, but Meng Qiuchen knew it.

After the occupation of Navia, they did not massacre the city, which was a gesture of goodwill to the city-state of Solan, and now the Lord sent someone to inform Scott Walder, which is another gesture of goodwill.

Obviously, the adults are deliberately trying to win over the city-state of Solan.

Their target is the capital of Besa, Godnimiaro (referred to as Goro), and they will fight deep into Besa's territory, and the logistics supply line must be secured.

The best supply route would be via Nasikia, then through the hinterland of Gabur, and then north. However, the city-state of Ser, which ruled the Gabul region, had been offended by its own side, and it was difficult to develop this supply line.

Then we had to settle for the next best thing, take Nasikia, follow the edge of the Gabul region, enter Theolen, and then go north through Theolen. In this way, the relationship between them and the city-state of Solan, which ruled the West Orren region, became crucial.

The lord sent someone to inform the Duke of Walter in advance, firstly, he was showing goodwill, and secondly, he was making a temptation.

If the city-state of Solan did not block its own march, it means that the city-state of Solan really did not want to be an enemy of its own side, and was even willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watching its army reach the city of Goro.

If the Solan city-state sends troops to block it, it means that it will eventually choose to side with the city-state of Besa, and its side will either switch to Gabur and destroy the weaker city-state of Serre, or implement an iron-fisted policy in the West Oren region and destroy the city-state of Solan on the spot.

In short, we must ensure that a logistical supply line is unimpeded.

In today's military war, logistical supply lines have become the key to determining the outcome of both sides.

In the era of cold weapons, the logistics supply could not keep up, and the soldiers could fight and eat wherever they could, and even they could capture the local people and eat cannibal flesh to satisfy their hunger, but now it is not good, the logistics supply can not keep up, not only is there no food to eat, but also the problem that there is no ammunition available for the guns and artillery.

Shangguan Xiu's ability to command thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield may have shortcomings, but his strategic vision is definitely long-term and unique, and he often makes precautionary and unexpected moves.

Just when all the generals were opposing Shangguan Xiu's decision, Meng Qiuchen suddenly bowed to Shangguan Xiu and sighed sincerely: "My lord's wise decision is really the luck of our army's soldiers, although our army is alone and goes deep into the enemy's territory, but with adults here, why should our army be overwhelmed?!"

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but roll their eyes at Meng Qiuchen again and again, at this time, don't be flattering and wear a top hat!

Shangguan Xiu glanced at everyone, smiled slightly, and said: "If there is anyone who doesn't understand my decision, you can ask the military advisor after the meeting, and the military advisor will explain, and then, let's make specific military deployments and arrangements......"

If the Zhenjun army wants to evacuate Navia, it is impossible to withdraw all at once, leaving only an empty city, and it is necessary to arrange a military force to stay in Navia, and wait for Xin Jiyao to send an army to receive it.

When Shangguan Xiu was discussing the deployment with the generals, a secret flag spy walked in quickly from the outside, crossed his feet, stretched his neck to look, and saw that Shangguan Xiu was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, all of whom were senior generals in the army, and he couldn't get forward at all.

He could only squeeze behind Zhao Chen and pull his placket. Zhao Chen glanced back, slowly withdrew from the crowd, pulled his subordinates, walked to the corner, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, I just received a domestic flying pigeon message. As he spoke, the Dark Flag spy handed a small note to Zhao Chen. The latter took it, unfolded the note and looked at it, his face changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose.

He pondered for a moment, nodded to his subordinates, and raised his chin outwards to signal that he could leave.

Then, Zhao Chen squeezed back into the crowd and stood still beside Shangguan Xiu. At this time, Shangguan Xiuzheng was discussing with the four army commanders the question of who would stay in Navia.

Luo Ren said with a smile: "Our army must follow the adults and march towards Solan City together!"

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Hu Chong, and said: "In the battle of Navia, the Third Army did not participate in the battle, and the military strength was not damaged, and the task of staying in Navia this time should be completed by the Third Army!"

Hu Chong laughed dryly twice and said: "It is precisely because our army is undamaged that we should go with our adults to attack Solan City, and the other three armies, any army can stay in Navia for rectification, and wait for the reserve army to come from the rear to fill the formation!"

Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong, and An Yifu all glared at him in unison. In the end, the eyes of the four looked at Shangguan Xiu in unison, waiting for him to make a decision. Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at Meng Qiuchen and asked, "What is the advice of the military advisor?"

Meng Qiuchen rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "In the battle of Navia, the first legion suffered the greatest loss, my lord, my subordinates think that it is better to send the first legion to stay behind." ”

When Luo Ren heard this, his brows immediately twisted into a pimple, and just as he was about to speak, Meng Qiuchen continued: "The First Legion is the strongest legion in our Zhenjun Army, good at fighting tough battles, good at attacking fortifications, our army can conquer Navia in one fell swoop this time, and the officers and soldiers of the First Legion are indispensable. Next, our army will fight alone in the hinterland of Besa, waiting for us to fight a hard battle, the first army as soon as possible to replenish the establishment, restore the peak combat strength, in the next battle of our army is very important, and please General Luo do not lose big because of the small, when the overall situation is the priority!"

Hearing what he said, Luo Ren couldn't continue arguing anymore, and the matter was settled. Taking advantage of the time when everyone stopped talking, Zhao Chen finally seized the opportunity and interjected. He whispered to Shangguan Xiu: "Brother Xiu, this is the summons I just received. ”

Shangguan Xiu took the note he handed over, glanced at it, and casually handed the note to Meng Qiuchen on the other side. The latter took a look, his eyes lit up, and he burst out laughing.

He first looked at Shangguan Xiu with an inquiring look, and when he saw him nodding, he cleared his throat and announced to everyone present: "I just received a message from Shangjing, Your Majesty has taken a personal expedition and is about to come to Beijun, and now Your Majesty is on the way to Beijun!"

For the Zhenjun Army, it is definitely good news that Tang Ling can come to Nasikeya (North County) and drive the expedition in person.

It is impossible for the Celestial Maiden to come to Nasikeya alone, there must be a large number of central troops who follow the Celestial Maiden, and in the future, if the Celestial Maiden personally sits in Nasikia, her own logistical supply will definitely be guaranteed.

Everyone present was overjoyed, and they all said loudly: "This is good news, Your Majesty is coming to Beijun in person, and our army will win!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, Tang Ling's arrival could indeed dispel his worries to a large extent, allowing him to devote himself to the frontline battlefield without distraction.

He took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "The main force of the Besa army is now being dragged to Duki, and in Nasikya, there will be His Majesty in person, and our army will occupy the time, people, and our army, in this battle, our army is bound to fight to Goro, force Besa, and cede the northern county!"

"Yes, my lord!" replied in unison from all the generals present.

"Okay, now everyone goes back to prepare, early tomorrow morning, our army will set off from the village!"

"Yes!"

The next day, as soon as the day dawned, the Zhenjun army sent two groups of envoys, one to Turana to meet Xin Jiyao, and the other to Wangsolan City to meet Scott Ward.

In Turana, Xin Jiyao did not see the envoy of the Zhenjun army due to illness, and it was Ji Zheng who received the envoy. After she sent the envoy of the Zhenjun army away, she hurried to see Xin Jiyao and explained the envoy's arrival to her.

After Xin Jiyao heard this, he was furious, Shangguan Xiu promised well when he was in Tula, and agreed to the mutual defense of the two armies, but as soon as he returned to Navia, he changed his mind, and he was untrustworthy, which was extremely hateful.

Ji Zheng looked at Xin Jiyao, who was angry, and asked cautiously: "General, could it be that Shangguan Xiu has seen that the general is a fraud?"

When Xin Jiyao heard this, she immediately turned her head to look at her, showing a thoughtful expression, and was speechless for a long time.
