Liu Fan reached an agreement with the God Clan, and the information of the Demon Clan on the other side was also quickly sent to Liu Fan's table. For the mobilization of the army of the demon clan and the barbarians, the Shenwu army has always been the first place to deal with it, and Liu Fan did not dare to be careless when he received the information, on the one hand, he was anxious about the generals under his command, and at the same time ordered the material resources to be continuously transferred to Jiaozhou in the south, and ordered the soldiers and horses on the front line of Xuzhou and Yangzhou to also begin to move to Jiaozhou. At the same time, he ordered the defenders of Yuntian Fortress to release scouts to probe the traces of the barbarian army, the demon clan and the barbarian have always been a family, this time the demon clan's army is dispatched, and the barbarian will definitely not fall behind him, not to mention that this time there is an invisible black hand pushing behind his back.

"Everyone, you have already read the information, combined with the information sent by the previous Jiaozhou Corps, you all talk about what the demon clan has in mind this time? How should we fight this battle?" Liu Fan passed the information in his hand to his subordinates, and after reading the information in his hand, everyone lowered their heads and thought carefully, and there was a detailed preparation of the Shenwu Army for the war in front of them.

"Lord, judging from the current information, it seems that the demon clan has not gathered all the troops this time, and I suspect that they are likely to be a small-scale temptation this time. Sun Wu pointed to the sand table of the barbarian fortress and said to Liu Fan: "Lord, please see, the terrain here is very suitable for the development of a large army, and the demon clan has always liked to rely on numbers to win, but this time the deployment of their troops is abnormal, and they do not arrange a large army here, but the terrain here is dangerous." And the position occupied by the defenders is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defender here is our army's general Lian Po, who is good at defense, and if you want to break through here, the demon clan will definitely have to pay a heavy price, even if the demon clan is overwhelming, I am afraid that if you want to defeat General Lian Po's 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is impossible to have four or five hundred thousand casualties. ”

"My lord, please see, along the first line of the Barbarian Fortress, the current proven intelligence of the Demon Clan is only less than two million troops, which is very different from the strength of the Demon Clan in its heyday, I speculate that their purpose is very likely to test our troop deployment and defense strength on the front line of the Barbarian Fortress, and Han Xin's intelligence said that a new species appeared opposite the defense of Wang Zhongsi and Ran Min, this species is extremely terrifying, and all the current information about this species is only speculation. So I guess one of their purposes in this battle is to prepare for the power of the new Shiyan species, and then prepare for their subsequent battles. ”

"If this new species is really as General Yang Yande guessed. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for our Shenwu Army, our soldiers have not yet encountered this kind of large-scale poison gas on the battlefield, and our Shenwu Army is not very experienced in dealing with this large-scale war poison gas, only the Jiaozhou Corps has the experience of fighting with the poisonous wolf horse. And we still don't know how to solve this poison. If it's really the same as the intelligence guesses. Then it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to our Shenwu Army. ”

"Even so, our army still has to be guarded, but if we want to find out the intelligence here, the price paid by our Shenwu Army is too great, and I am afraid that there are few 150,000 troops who can come back alive after walking out of the barracks. Wang Jian looked at the deployment of troops that appeared on the sand table with a solemn face, and said lightly: "Lord." Now the Jiaozhou Corps only has three million troops, and relying on the defense of the fortress, our troops are still enough, but if we want to hit the hinterland of the demon clan, recover our lost territory, and completely defeat the demon clan, we still need at least five million troops, but our Shenwu army can only mobilize less than one million troops, and the gap is still very large. ”

"All kinds of ordnance, grain and grass and other materials we have prepared is not very good, even if our states are a bumper harvest, but it is still very difficult to support such a huge army, especially the more than three million cavalry troops of Yuntian Fortress, it is not a small number to tear the horse jue every day, my lord, with our current strength is simply not enough to launch a large-scale war, do you think it is not to let a part of the reinforcements be mobilized to the Jiaozhou Corps, and at the same time order the Jiaozhou Corps to suspend the march to Jihua and wait for follow-up reinforcements?"

"The Jiaozhou Corps did not march into Jihua in the first place, the geographical conditions here are very bad, our border pass is still in the hands of the demon clan, and if we don't recapture the border pass one day, we will be in a passive situation in this war, so our top priority is to recapture our border pass. Liu Fan said to the generals under his command with a solemn face: "Jiayuguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we recapture Jiayuguan from the hands of the demon clan, then the initiative of the entire war will be completely controlled in our hands, and only in this way can our Jiaozhou Corps be able to concentrate all its forces together to form a fist, and when necessary, it will hit the demon clan fiercely." ”

"Lord, Jiayuguan is not easy to fight. Yue Fei said to Liu Fan with a solemn face: "Lord, the demon clan, we have set up heavy troops on the front line of the barbarian fortress, if we want to attack Jiayu Pass, as long as the soldiers and horses come out of the barbarian fortress, the demon clan will inevitably frantically encircle and suppress our army, and in the field, we are far from being the opponent of these demon clans when we are absolutely inferior in strength." If we want to attack Jiayuguan, we must fight a quick battle, and at present, our Jiaozhou Corps is far from having such strength. ”

"War is not based on our comparison on the sand table, only when we go to the ground can we know how this war should be fought. Le Yi stood aside and said loudly to everyone: "At present, we have not received much information from the Jiaozhou Corps, we don't know anything about the situation in the south, this information is still the information from half a month ago, and we don't know what happened in this half of Jiaozhou, my lord, there is no point in us deducing the late battle situation here." The lord, it is imperative to send reinforcements to the Jiaozhou Corps immediately to prevent accidents. ”

"I have ordered the garrisons of Yangzhou and Xuzhou to support Jiaozhou, and the local garrisons in Jiaozhou have entered a state of war and can support the frontline at any time. Liu Fan said to the generals under his command with a solemn face: "Yue Fei, you can raise 200,000 elite soldiers to go south to support the Jiaozhou front, and send an order to Han Xin, no matter what method he uses, he must recapture Jiayuguan for me as soon as possible, and no matter what, he must give me the initiative to take the initiative of the war back into our own hands." ”

"Zhang Yi, you can transfer Yizhou's money, food, weapons and armor and send them to Jiaozhou immediately. Now the whole army must take the battle in Jiaozhou as our primary military action, and order Dong Zhuo and Chen Qingzhi of the Bingzhou Corps to be on guard at Yuntian Fortress, and not to give the barbarians any opportunity to take advantage of. ”

"No!" After receiving Liu Fan's order, the generals under his command also walked down one after another, Liu Fan was greatly relieved to see the generals under his command go down, now the agreement with the god clan has been reached, even if the fairy world is involved in the war between humans and demon clans, Liu Fan is now fearless, and according to the information that has been passed on so far, it is obvious that the fairy world has intervened in the war between the Shenwu army and the demon clan. This time Liu Fan does not plan to go to the south to conquer in person, in contrast, Liu Fan values the north more, and the Lion Empire has been married for more than half a year, and both sides have not taken any action on the border at present, Liu Fan wants to take the army north to meet his father-in-law for a while.

"Still thinking about the war in the north?" Yu Shu didn't know when he walked behind Liu Fan, gently put his hands on Liu Fan's shoulders and slowly squeezed them, revealing a trace of helplessness in his tone, looking at the sad look on his husband's face, Yu Shu said helplessly to Liu Fan: " My father is such a calculating person, he will never let his army move first until he sees that our army shows enough strength, no matter what, he will not take advantage of others' fire, but the commander of the army stationed in Yanmen Pass is my uncle Aisen, maybe he can help you. ”

"As early as half a year ago, your uncle Eisen was transferred back to Lion City to serve as the generalissimo of the soldiers, and the garrison here is currently under the control of your deputy Marshal Howard, and it is impossible to get them to send troops. Liu Fan patted Yushu's hand helplessly and said: "As you said, my father-in-law will never take the initiative to send troops to help me pacify the north of the empire until he sees enough benefits, so this time I want to personally take my army to the north." ”

"I didn't expect him to be in charge of the garrison here, husband, if you personally lead the troops, I'm afraid there will be no reinforcements. Yushu's tone was full of worry, no one knew better than Yushu what kind of person Howard was in the empire, not to mention that he was still Liu Fan's father-killing enemy, as the so-called father-killing enemy did not share the sky, this hatred Liu Fan could not let go. And Howard is also very aware of this fact, if Liu Fan personally led the army to fight in the north, Howard would be even more unlikely to send troops to support Liu Fan in the battle, even if King Arthur ordered it.

"I know, but the north of the empire is a very important pawn for me, only with him can I lay out the entire continent, no matter what, I will definitely take my army to the north. Liu Fan said to Yushu in a firm tone: "Don't worry, even without the help of your Lion Empire's troops, I can pacify this empire, don't forget, your husband and I are rare geniuses in this continent." ”

"You, you can't do anything but have a good mouth. Yushu looked at her husband with a smile and said, she rarely can smile so happily, only when she marries here is she so happy.

"Really, then I'll prove it to you now!" Liu Fan's face suddenly showed a wicked smile, and Yushu reacted instantly, but unfortunately before he could slip away, he took Liu Fan in his arms and walked towards the backyard. (To be continued......)
