"Is Li Shuai saying that this week's Universiade can't lead troops?" Yuan Fang couldn't help but be stunned and asked.

"This week's Dayun is confused, you Elder Yuanfang can't be unreasonable, you just said that let Zhou Dayun return me and the Mixed Yuan Sect a fair, this is wrong, it should be a justice for the Sanyuan Temple. Li Xian sighed and said.

"What do Zhou Dayun have about our Mixed Yuan Sect, and what he thinks of the cooperation between the two sides, I don't care, after all, my head grows on my head, and what I think is my own business, and others can't care about it.

Even in the cooperation between our two sides, it doesn't matter who feels that they are at a loss and who feels that they are taking advantage.

How to dispatch troops, how to distribute the seizures, and how to deal with this ratio were all discussed in advance by the top leaders of both sides, and even if there were any opinions, it would be a big deal to renegotiate, but because of this, it would be absolutely impossible to allow it to affect combat effectiveness.

I found that some people's thoughts are very dangerous now, and when they win most battles, they feel that they can go all over the world.

I don't understand that we are now surrounded by enemies, and the Qing court has ninety percent of the world's resources, although there is nothing to do with us for a while, but once we find a suitable way and method of warfare, it will inevitably be a behemoth.

What's more, we have also formed a mortal enmity with England, and sooner or later we will have to do one.

The world's most powerful superpower is our mortal enemy, the Qing Dynasty, which has the most potential to be a superpower, is also our enemy, and the rest of the United States, France and other powers are also waiting for us to show their flaws, so that they can take the opportunity to pounce and tear off a piece of meat.

In this case, once we slack off, it will be a catastrophe from which we will never recover, and we will die by ourselves, and I am afraid that it will affect our parents and families, and even the clan may be wiped out.

I don't care what you people in the Three Elements Concept think, I just think it doesn't matter if I take advantage of the elders of the Yuan Sect, but your own combat effectiveness must be preserved.

What is the use of your Sanyuanguan saying that you want to govern Guangzhou, and that you want to buy industries, buy hundreds of factories, and recruit tens of thousands of workers, but without the support of a strong military?

I'll put it here today, if the military discipline of the Sanyuanguan army continues to slack, and the combat effectiveness continues to decline, a good regular army can't even defeat the auxiliary soldiers of my mixed Yuanzong, and then the two sides don't think about cooperation on an equal footing.

The most terrifying thing in this world is not a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate, and you should understand this. ”

Yuan Fang's face changed three times in succession, and then he gave a deep salute and said: "Li Shuai is very right, this is indeed Yuan Fang's bad thinking, and he will definitely do his best to correct it." ”

This military meeting can't be held here, so it can only be hastily ended, and Yuan Fang is holding Zhou Dayun to retreat, looking preoccupied and full of lawsuits.

As for the other officers of the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Three Yuan Sect, some were indignant, some were deep in thought, but more of them felt a little uneasy, feeling that there was a deep rift in the cooperation between the two sects, and it seemed that it was not easy to bridge for a while.

Originally, according to Li Xian's meaning, the team that immediately pursued Yang Fang must relieve the combat effectiveness of Yang Fang's army in the shortest possible time, but now in this situation, it is not suitable to send troops.

Li Xian then ordered the troops to stop and recuperate, and at the same time take the necessary rest.

Sanyuanguan also attached great importance to the matter of Zhou Dayun, and Xuanzheng, the master of the temple, personally rushed over from Guangzhou after receiving the news to deal with this matter.

After discussing with Li Xian, Xuan Zheng issued an opinion on how to deal with Zhou Dayun, that is, to immediately demote Zhou Dayun by three levels, that is, to directly demote Zhou Dayun from the level of brigade commander to company commander, and severely punished some officers of the Sanyuan Guan system who were ineffective in combat.

After Xuan Zheng and other high-level officials of the Sanyuan Temple conducted an investigation of the army, they found a shocking fact, that is, the army of the Mixed Yuan Sect led by Li Xian did not enter Guangzhou at the beginning, and had been conducting military training in the suburbs or blessed land, and the army's combat effectiveness had made great progress compared with before.

On the other hand, the army of Sanyuanguan has been slacking off since entering Guangzhou, and most of the people are fascinated by prosperity, especially the corruption and degeneration of officers, which makes the army's combat level even worse than before entering Guangzhou half a year ago, and there is already a relatively obvious gap compared with the army of the Mixed Yuan Sect.

This time to Bao'an County, the Sanyuanguan army did not contribute much in the battle, and there were vague signs of dragging Yuanzong's hind legs, which was absolutely unbearable for the Sanyuanguan high-level.

Therefore, the handling of Zhou Dayun is not only a punishment for confronting Li Xian and undermining the unity of the two armies, but also attaches more importance to his mistake of ineffective training of the army.

In any case, after such a severe punishment, there was a solemn atmosphere inside the army, and after intensive training, the internal atmosphere took on a new look.

The army rested in Bao'an County for ten days, and Li Xian also took this opportunity to deal with some important official business.

The first is the question of Hong Kong and the British.

Britain has nearly 300,000 firearms troops, which are extremely large in number and combat effectiveness, but it also has a large number of colonies around the world, and it has to defend Britain, which is a bit insufficient to be honest.

After the occupation of Canton, Hong Kong would have been garrisoned with nearly 20,000 British troops, but the retention of so many troops on this unimportant island was obviously beyond the financial and military capabilities of the British government, and it was withdrawn long ago.

Therefore, Hong Kong now has only two light warships, 500 soldiers and less than 2,000 British, compared with the Huaxia army in Guangzhou, the difference in strength is extremely obvious, Yang Fang's army and the Huaxia army fought before, they did not dare to participate at all, and they were afraid of doing something wrong to anger Li Xian, so they raised troops to attack Hong Kong.

Li Xian occupied the entire territory of Dongguan at this time, and had no intention of attacking Hong Kong, and confirmed with the envoy sent by the governor of Hong Kong that the temporary armistice agreement was still valid, but only took back the Kowloon Peninsula.

Victoria Harbour between the Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island is a natural harbour, and Lee's intention was to establish a trading zone on the Kowloon Peninsula that would allow merchant ships from countries such as the United States, France, and the Netherlands to dock and trade.

Of course, the sovereignty of this area was vested in the Huaxia Army, and foreign merchants were only given the right to live and do business.

According to the secret transaction between the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Sanyuan Temple, the Sanyuan Temple occupied the most prosperous Guangzhou area, and the rest of the peripheral areas were governed by the Mixed Yuan Sect, which means that Bao'an should be classified as the territory of the Mixed Yuan Sect.

Li Xian's plan was for Chen Guangsheng to lead 5,000 men to be stationed in Bao'an County to monitor foreigners in Hong Kong and the Kowloon Peninsula, and at the same time, it would also become an outpost against Qing invasion in the future.

Bao'an County is actually Shenzhen in later generations, with a unique geographical location, which is not only suitable for the development of industry, but also suitable for the development of trade, and the same is true in the current era.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Li Xian continued to send troops to pursue the remnants of Yang Fang who had run to Chaoshan Erzhou.

This time, the troops were dispatched, and Li Xian himself led the troops on the side of the Mixed Yuan Sect, but the commander of the Sanyuan Temple side was replaced by Xuan Zheng himself.

The Huaxia army attacked all the way east, and several counties along the way almost fell into the wind, until it encountered decent resistance in the Chaoshan area.

Yang Fang knew that if he retreated again, he could only retreat into Fujian, and the emperor and the imperial court would definitely not be able to spare him at that time, so he tried his best to mobilize the soldiers, and tried to resist the attack of the Huaxia army with the city.

However, compared with the Huaxia Army, the Qing army was too different from each other in terms of weapons, army establishment, training level, and command ideas, and it had lost its morale in many previous defeats, so it could only be defeated in every battle.

After several battles, the Huaxia Army defeated the main force of the Qing army, and successively occupied the state capitals of Chaoshan and Shanzhou, obtaining huge supplies.

Some officers hoped to occupy these two places permanently, stationing thousands of soldiers and horses for defense, but Li Xian felt that the Huaxia army had excellent soldiers and horses, but the number of soldiers was too small.

Moreover, if these two cities are occupied, a lot of materials will be invested in maintenance, which is not in line with the current situation of the Huaxia Army.

Therefore, the Huaxia army did not garrison these two places, but transported a large amount of materials back to Guangzhou, and then withdrew its troops back, and the Qing army took back these two places and reported the good news to the imperial court.

After that, the Huaxia army only occupied Bao'an County to the east, while the Qing army mainly gathered in Chaoshan and Shanzhou, and the vast area in between became a strategic buffer zone between the two sides.
