It has entered November, and according to the season, it is already winter. Although the weather in Jinhua Mitsukoshi on the south bank of the Xijiang River is still a bit hot, it is no longer as hot as midsummer, which makes people sweat profusely. In Hetao Sanlu in the north of Qingfeng, the weather is already special
It was cold. Near the defense line of the Great Wall, dripping water had already turned into ice. Although Yanzhou was better, it was still freezing. At this time, Tianyi had also put on a thick plush cloak, and the two children were also covered in cold weather.
The hairy ones are airtight. Everyone in the Hetao pays special attention to these two children. After all, these are not only the two darlings of Haotian, but also the only two children in the high-level leadership of the Hetao. Whether it is Chu Xiangcheng
Lin Taiyue, Bian Zhongli Xiao, and Zhu Ping and Liu Yan were all unfavorable to their treasure.
Since returning from Jinzhou, Tianyi's face has finally lost some worry. The skeletons of 200,000 soldiers outside Jinzhou City have always been a concern in Hetao. Now that they have been welcomed back, no matter what
Haotian and God are at least relieved. However, God's affairs have not been reduced much because of this. As the temperature drops, snow disasters and frosts of varying degrees have also appeared on Hetao 3rd Road, and 1,500 people on Hetao 3rd Road have
Among the tens of thousands of people, most of them are old, weak, women and children, so disaster prevention and relief work is also extremely important. In order to prevent the officials below from poor management, God's will spends a lot of energy on this. In addition,
Although Chu Xiangcheng and Bian Zhongxing were mostly responsible for the military expansion ordered by Haotian, God's will was also very busy.
Having just come back from outside, the first thing God wanted to do was to go back to Jingbei Palace to see his two children. Hao'an and Haojin started talking early. At just one year old, they were already able to bab and call mom.
.And now, not only can they call me mom, but they can also call me grandpa, godfather, and aunt. Because of this, the people in the Jingbei Duke's mansion are even more doting on the two children.
Before entering the Xinan Pavilion where Chu Xiangcheng handled political affairs, Tianyi heard Chu Xiangcheng's hearty laughter and the laughter of the two children. Tianyi was anxious and quickly walked in. Chu Xiangcheng and Bian Zhongxing
People were discussing military and political affairs, and the two children were there, obviously causing trouble there. Last time when Chu Xiangcheng was dealing with the folding papers submitted by the officials below, Hao Jin peed directly on a pile of approved folding papers.
After a while, all the more than ten folding papers were dyed yellow. Chu Xiangcheng did not pay attention at the time and just handed out these folding papers. As a result, the officials below all looked at each other, except Zheng Chengen, the prefect of Hetao who had lived in Yanzhou for a long time.
, knowing the truth of the matter, the rest of the people were confused. Later, Tianyi found out about this matter, and was originally going to teach Hao Jin a lesson, but Chu Xiangcheng learned about it in advance and forced Liu Yan and Luo
Xiang's concubine Luo He sent Hao Jin to Wei He, the prefect of Hexi Road, to avoid the limelight for a few days. It was not until God's anger subsided that Hao Jin was sent back.
As soon as he walked into the Xinuang Pavilion, as expected, Hao Jin was crawling around on the desk where Chu Xiangcheng handled government affairs. What he was holding in his hand was actually a few of Chu Xiangcheng's beards. And Hao Jin had a relatively calm temperament.
Hao'an had already fallen asleep in Bian Zhongxing's arms. God was not polite, walked up and slapped Haotian's little butt twice. Hao Jin suddenly received two slaps, and when he flattened his mouth, he was ready to howl.
He cried loudly. But when he saw that this was his mother, he immediately shut up his mouth knowingly. God's will is different from Chu Xiangcheng and others and his aunts. They will never show mercy when they beat someone. Although the child
Although he was young, he already had preliminary consciousness, so he had no choice but to flatten his mouth and act honestly in his mother's arms.
"Uncle, why don't you ignore this child?" Tianyi said with some complaints.
When Chu Xiangcheng saw Tianyi coming in, he quickly put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile: "The mistress is here. This child should be naughty when he was young, otherwise how can he be energetic in the future?" Bian Zhongxing just smiled at Tianyi,
But he didn't get up. One reason was that the two were already familiar with each other and there was no need to be polite. The other reason was that Hao'an was sleeping in his arms and he was afraid of waking up the child.
Tianyi didn't care about Chu Xiangcheng's attitude. He pulled up a chair and sat down, then asked: "Uncle, what are you and Bian Shuai discussing?"
"What else can be done? Of course it is about the expansion of the army. We only expanded the army by 100,000 soldiers half a year ago, and now we have to expand the army by another 100,000. Although the people and the military and the government have no objections, the supplies are somewhat insufficient.
, and there are also some problems with the training of these new recruits." Chu Xiangcheng sighed.
Bian Chongxing also frowned and said: "With the addition of the newly expanded 100,000 soldiers, more than half of the 350,000 soldiers left behind in Hetao are already soldiers of the New Sign. And our elite soldiers in Hetao have all gone south.
, so it is not an easy task to form considerable combat effectiveness."
Tianyi also frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I also know that this is a difficult problem, but now the situation waits for no one. The Lord has clearly informed that before the beginning of spring next year, the third batch of Hetao will go south.
The soldiers must arrive at Yuzhou Road. According to the estimates of Uncle Luo and Military Advisor Xuanji, Cassimbas is expected to launch an offensive after the beginning of next spring. By then, if the power in the hands of the lord is stronger, there will be more hope of survival. "
Chu Xiangcheng squinted his eyes. He naturally understood why Luo Xianghe Xuanji made such a judgment. However, only the three of them knew about this matter for the time being. Although the cause and effect of some things were known, the sad thing was that they had no ability to change them. Therefore,
Chu Xiangcheng and Luo Xiangxuanji could only try their best to win a better situation for the Hetao army. But they could not change the overall situation at all. After a moment of silence, Chu Xiangcheng said: "My subordinates agree with the lord's opinion. Kasimba
It has been half a year since Si arrived at Yuzhou Road, and it will be close to a year by the beginning of next spring. No matter what arrangements he has, I am afraid they are already mature. Therefore, although the battle in the beginning of next spring may not be related to the survival of the Celestial Empire, the outcome of the battle will definitely be
It will be particularly disastrous. And if our Qingfeng coalition forces are defeated, they will definitely retreat towards Tiandu Shengjing. Therefore, my subordinates believe that the third batch of soldiers going south should be mainly cavalry. The number should still be controlled at around 50,000 people.
"
Bian Zhongxing also nodded in agreement: "Once Cassimbas takes action, it will be irreversible with thunderous means, so we must focus on defense in the early stage. However, the offensive power of the Northeast Army has always been sharp, and our forces in Qingfeng
We cannot work together, so it is very difficult to block the opponent's attack. Therefore, we must preserve our strength as much as possible. Therefore, concentrating the superior cavalry force can not only ensure our breakthrough ability, but also ensure the safety of our retreat.
"
Tianyi's eyebrows raised: "Why are the commander-in-chief and uncle not optimistic about this battle? Now our total strength of Qingfeng still has the advantage, and there are also veterans such as General Tie Shuai Xiang and General Li Tiezhan, so they are not without the strength to fight.
In addition, we are fighting on the territory of China, so we should have an advantage."
Bian Zhongxing smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, it is not the subordinates who have the morale of others. Although I, Qingfeng, have the advantage in military strength, the imperial court and the three major aristocratic families are not on the same page at all, and it is impossible for the command to issue orders and prohibitions.
, this alone is already at a disadvantage. Moreover, the imperial court has not even made up its mind to fight or not to fight, so why should we fight against the Bliss Alliance?"
A look of worry suddenly appeared on Tianyi's face: "Then isn't my lord in danger?"
"Mistress, don't worry. My lord still has 100,000 elite soldiers from Hetao, plus Mistress Qingcheng's 50,000 elite cavalry, which will definitely be more than enough for self-protection. However, Cassimbas is very jealous of me, Hetao, so it will be inevitable when the time comes.
They will take special care of our army, so we must add strong mobility to ensure the safety of our army during retreat." Chu Xiangcheng said with relief.
Tianyi thought for a while and said: "Then let's see if you can mobilize the 100,000 troops of the Blood Commander and the Du Commander from the South Yunnan Road battlefield? With them on the Yuzhou Road to assist in defense, I don't need to worry so much."
Chu Xiangcheng and Bian Zhongxing looked at each other and then said: "This is not impossible. If the situation is urgent, we must dispatch these 100,000 elite troops. As for the South Yunnan Road, we are not the imperial court. First
What needs to be considered is the survival of our Hetao Sanlu, and then these half-hearted vassal nations. But in this way, the pressure on Jingnan Gong will be heavy. Therefore, in terms of time selection, we must
Keep the heat right. It is best to quickly go north after severely damaging the Jinhua Mitsukoshi Allied Forces and the Ji Le Army." Although Chu Xiangcheng did not care about the survival of the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan, the Great Lakes Road was an issue that could not be avoided.
The food and strategic location of Dahu Road were not only related to the survival of the Qingfeng royal family, but also had a close relationship with the Hetao. Therefore, Chu Xiangcheng had to consider this factor when formulating his strategy.
"Now there is less than half a year until the spring of next year. And in less than half a year, it is not that difficult to train an army with considerable combat effectiveness." Tianyi said while patting Hao Jin in his arms.
: "I just ordered Soul Eater to notify Feng Jing who is in Youyun Sixteen Provinces, asking him to sneak back to Hetao as soon as possible, and this cavalry is led by Xin Ke."
Both Chu Xiangcheng and Chu Xiangcheng were shocked: "What does the mistress mean by this?"
Tianyi raised his head and said: "Although Youyun Sixteen Provinces are full of dangers, I believe that Xin Ke will be able to handle it with ease. There are only 20,000 cavalry, but they trapped our two-yuan general. This is not cost-effective. And we, Hetao,
Of the five generals, the Blood Commander and the Du Commander are on the South Yunnan Road, and the Bian Commander is responsible for the defense of the Northwest Third Road. The rest, such as Li Xiao and Situ Lie, are still far behind the five generals. Therefore,
Only then did I decide to transfer Fengjing back to Hetao."
