The first person to receive Luo Xianghe Xuanji's order was Zhang Yuewan of the Navy, followed by Xing Ke, then Chu Xiangcheng Bian Zhongxing and Fengjing in Hetao, and finally the bloody murder of Dugu Yuming on South Yunnan Road. Only Zhang Yuewan received the order.
It was just a very simple order, which was to return to Hetao immediately to train the navy. However, the order Xue Sha and others received was much more detailed. And the content was far more complicated than Zhang Yuewan's, so that when Xue Sha received the order,
They all frowned.
"Commander Xue, is there any order from my lord? Judging from your sullen face, am I not going to let you go back to the northwest to guard the border?" But Xue Sha was referring to the map in front of him, and Dugu's voice was full of gangsters.
It had already reached his ears. At the end of his words, Dugu had already opened the door unsteadily and walked in.
"See for yourself." Xue Sha threw the information in his hand over without raising his head and continued to look at the map.
Dugu took the order with a playful smile. After a quick look, his face turned serious. He picked up a fire folder and waved it casually in the air. Then he put the information in his hand on the lit fire folder and looked at this piece of information.
The paper slowly burned to ashes, and then he extinguished the fire. Zhezi stepped forward and said: "The order was not given by the lord himself, but by Mr. Luo and the military advisor. But since it involves the dispatch of the Hetao side, it is obvious that
Mr. Chu also had a hand in it. Hey, is there really something big going on?"
"Don't look at me. I don't know what Mr. Luo and the others are planning. It can be understood that Mistress Yuewan returned to Hetao to train the navy for the decisive battle with Dongbo, but the other orders
?The frontier commander must replenish the losses caused by the commander's departure in the shortest time, so that the total remaining troops in Hetao can be restored to about 350,000. If the situation forces it, the troops can be killed first and then expanded to 50,000. And in
At any time, it can be guaranteed that Hetao can mobilize 100,000 to 150,000 mobile troops, and their combat effectiveness is at least on the same level as the regular army of the empire. Feng Shuai's task is to complete the improvement of the combat effectiveness of these soldiers before February next year.
While the individual combat capability is similar to that of the regular army of the empire, efforts should be made to improve their cooperative combat capabilities and alternate cover capabilities. Xin Shuai's cavalry must return to Hetao before January next year while the river is frozen, reorganize the remaining cavalry in Hetao, and then in March
Previously, He and Feng Shuai led the most mobile Hetao left-behind troops to arrive at the Yuzhou Road battlefield. Our mission is to arrive at the Yuzhou Road battlefield as much as possible before March next year. But before that, we must stabilize Yunnan as much as possible
The situation on South Road and Dahu Road ensures that Jingnan Duke Ouyang Jingzhong can hold on to Dahu for at least a month." Xue Sha said while holding his chin.
Dugu pulled up a chair and sat down, pondering for a moment and said: "It seems that Mr. Luo and the others may have guessed Cassimbas's action plan, but they are unable to save the day and cannot inform the lord, so they have to make various preparations first."
Prepare."
Xue Sha's expression changed: "Dugu, what do you mean?"
Dugu smiled bitterly: "Mr. Luo asked the border commander to immediately replenish the Hetao army, and then mobilize about 150,000 elite troops at any time. Obviously, it is not to plot the Western Region and beyond the Great Wall, but to reinforce the Lord's side. And
There is already Commander Feng in charge of the cavalry in Hetao, but Commander Xin is still ordered to return to Hetao immediately to prepare for the southward journey to Yuzhou. Don’t forget, Commander Blood, that the soldiers Mr. Luo and the military advisor asked them to lead are the most mobile soldiers, and besides
You Xue Shuai, Feng Shuai and Xin Shuai are the best cavalry generals in our Hetao. Feng Shuai is best at running thousands of miles and strategic attacks, and Xin Shuai is best at strategic breakthroughs and rear cover. This does not mean that he is preparing for retreat. But.
This commander is still a little confused. You said that together with the 50,000 elite cavalry of Mistress Qingcheng on Yuzhou Road, we already have an army of more than 150,000. Plus the 100,000 to 150,000 troops that Feng Shuai and Xin Shuai are about to move south.
, and the Qinchuan army of the imperial court stationed on Yuzhou Road, which already has more than one million troops, why are Mr. Luo, the military adviser and others so unsure of our side and actually let us lead the army north? "
Xue Sha tilted his head: "Are you against going north?"
Dugu shook his head: "It is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders. Since the Lord has ordered Mr. Luo and the military advisor to plan the Yuzhou Road war with full authority, and they have signed a joint order, I, Dugu Yuming, do not dare to disobey the order even if I am arrogant. Besides,
Mr. Luo and others have obviously been aware of Cassimbas's conspiracy and have already begun to make preparations. With their loyalty to their lord, they will never have any other ideas. It's just that I am still a little confused."
Xue Sha also pulled up his big tiger-skin chair and sat down. He was silent for a moment and then said: "Cassimbas has dominated the outside world for a long time. I can still treat others indifferently, but the Battle of the Wasteland and the Pot
During the oral battle, Cassimbas's scheming really left a deep impression on me. It's not that Mr. Luo and the military advisor were cautious, after all, Cassimbas's reputation is too loud. You said they have already noticed Cassimbas
Bass’s conspiracy, but he didn’t dare to report it back to the lord. This only shows that this plan is too huge and it is simply unbelievable to say it. Or,”
"Maybe they think this is an opportunity for us in Hetao." Dugu said with twinkling eyes.
Xue Sha nodded: "Commander Du, have you noticed? The letter was massacred in the Second City of Youyan, but Cassimbas did not increase the number of troops in the Sixteenth State of Youyun. Instead, some troops were mobilized from the three northeastern countries to go south.
Even though the commander-in-chief conquered Mandan's Miyun City, Cassimbas remained unmoved. Even though the lord's army of more than 200,000 troops attacked the Holy Sect of Paradise, Cassimbas still stood still. This series of abnormal actions
, it can only explain one thing, Cassimbas is waiting for a killing blow! Only by enduring what ordinary people cannot bear can you do what ordinary people cannot do. This is the truth."
"Actually, we lost this battle before we fought. Facing the huge military threat from the Paradise Alliance, the imperial court Qin Chuan and us were still suspicious of each other. There was a lack of cooperation between the armies, and there was no tacit understanding among the top leaders of the three parties. Even the heroic Emperor
We are still fighting with each other. Under such an environment, even if we have the advantage in troops, we will not be able to exert our true combat effectiveness. Moreover, we still have the other side's secret ghosts here." Dugu sighed and said:
"Who do you think this dark ghost is? Does he exist? This time my lord stupidly attacked the Holy Sect of Bliss. Tie Shuai and the Imperial Master also stepped up their efforts. There are only a few people who know about this plan.
, but there is nothing unusual about the Holy Sect of Paradise, which means there should be nothing wrong with these people. But apart from these people, who should they be?"
"You ask me who should I ask?" Xue Sha rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, even now, I still can't figure out how the Bliss Alliance is so confident in defeating us completely. The total strength of the three Northeastern countries is indeed two million.
However, they have concentrated nearly 600,000 troops in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures and the Dahe Defense Line, and their most elite 400,000 troops have been concentrated at Simbas in Yangzhou Road. After excluding the necessary garrisons in their country and the troops in the north to guard against the Abat people,
The number of troops they can continue to mobilize is only about 300,000. However, the south of the river is not like the north of the river, and the further south you go, the more the combat effectiveness of their cavalry will be weakened. And if they cannot defeat us in one fell swoop, then as long as we go
When we regain our breath, we will drag them to death even if we drag them. Besides, we still have a million troops on Yuzhou Road. It won’t be easy for Cassimbas to eat us all."
Dugu took out his copper coin and kept throwing it around and said, "Commander Xue, are you old and confused? The Sixteenth State of Youyun is now the territory of Mandan, and we, the people of the Celestial Dynasty, are no longer in it, that is,
It is said that the 600,000 troops they stationed here, in addition to guarding our Mandans in the Hetao and the Baijing soldiers stationed in the large section of Beiyuan Road, they can even mobilize 300,000 mobile troops. And with the help of the Eastern Japanese Dynasty
, they only need two or three days to complete the southward crossing. What is the concept of 700,000 Northeastern elites? We need at least equal forces with almost the same combat effectiveness to fight against them. But now we can fight with them.
To compete with the elites of the Northeast, well, our Hetao army can definitely do it, the Li family's Red Eyebrow Army is also good, and the imperial court's Green Dragon Cavalry and Imperial Guard Army are also passable. But for the rest, Cassimbas is not a fool, he won't
Let’s pinch the soft persimmon first. Besides, do you think the imperial court really dares to transfer the Dragon Cavalry Corps and the Imperial Guard Corps out of the Holy Capital of Tiandu? Don’t forget, Minghui and Bing Heng’s 200,000 troops are facing Tiandu
Shengjing is watching with eager eyes!"
Xue Sha didn't pay much attention to Dugu's tone, and just said to himself: "Cassimbas will not easily mobilize the troops of Youyun Sixteenth State, because if his military advantage is too obvious, there will be no hope of victory.
Under such circumstances, those cowards in the court who are greedy for life and fear of death will definitely persuade the court to give up fighting with the Paradise Alliance on Yuzhou Road, and instead choose a strategic retreat. In an emergency, it is not impossible for them to abandon Tiandu Shengjing and Huai River Road
As long as the senior officials of the imperial court retreat to Qinchuan Road or even Yizhou Road and Dahu Road, the Paradise Alliance will not be able to achieve a complete victory even if they have the advantage in military strength. And if they cannot defeat the resistance center of our Celestial Empire, even if they can occupy the entire Qingfeng, they will not be able to achieve complete victory.
It is impossible to achieve effective rule. Moreover, the Li family has ruled Qinchuan Road for a hundred years, Yizhou Louis is difficult to defend, and Dahu Road is densely networked. It is not so easy to deal with. If it is me, then I will definitely induce the court to take the initiative.
, then defeated our coalition forces in one fell swoop, and took advantage of the momentum to pursue them, completely defeating all the resistance forces in our country."
Dugu threw the copper coins in his hand nonchalantly, and said with a haha: "Commander Blood, if we can cooperate sincerely, then the battlefield on Yuzhou Road will not be without profit. Anyway, our army of 100,000 is heading north.
It’s a done deal, you say we have really failed by then, so what should we do?”
"Run!" Xue Sha said without blushing: "If our coalition forces are defeated under such circumstances, then we must retreat without hesitation. Isn't this the opinion of Mr. Luo and the military advisor? So
With our current strength in the Hetao, as long as we can return safely, then given two or three years to recharge our batteries, we will definitely be able to fight back."
Dugu said a little depressed: "Xue Shuai, this sentence is nothing to me, but when did you, Xue Shuai, become like this?"
"Huh, isn't it normal to just run away if you can't fight? Are you still waiting there to die? These 300,000 troops are the basis for our foothold in the Hetao, and they are also the foundation of the 15 million people in the Third Road of the Hetao.
Life guarantee, my lord is not the emperor of Qingfeng, we can buy a few days for the people of China to retreat, but we have no obligation to bury the royal family of Qingfeng." Xue Sha said with a cold snort.
Upon hearing this, a rogue expression suddenly appeared on Dugu's face. Putting away the copper coins, Dugu put his head to his head and said with a smile: "Commander Blood, since it's a foregone conclusion that we will go north, we might as well take it in before leaving."
Let's grab something and go. You see, we have been fighting for the five tribes in southern Yunnan for so long. If they don't even show any sign, wouldn't they make others laugh? Besides, the soldiers below will also be dissatisfied."
As soon as Xue Sha saw Dugu's expression, he knew what he was thinking. However, his army of 100,000 came to help the other party. Being manipulated by Dugu, it would inevitably make people laugh if it was spread, so he hesitated and said
: "This is not good. We are here to help defend southern Yunnan on the order of the lord. We are righteous troops. If we do this kind of extortion, it will be difficult for the lord and mistress. Besides,
, if word of this spreads out, it will inevitably damage the reputation of our Loop."
Dugu stared at Xue Sha with disbelief, and said in surprise: "Xue Shuai, when did someone say that he wanted to extort money? Our country is a country of etiquette, and our Hetao army is even more so.
The best among them. As the commander-in-chief of this 100,000-strong army, we are fair and merciful, so how could we extort money? But think about it, our Hetao army came thousands of miles to come to our aid, and we have played our part without fear of tiredness, hardship, or suffering.
Not afraid of death, he used his life and blood to help the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan build a line of defense for them to live and work in peace and contentment, so that they would not be frightened by the attacks of foreign tribes. Don't they know how to be moved by such a noble sentiment?
The lord has commanded that we are the army of the people, and it is the people who support us, so we cannot take even a stitch from the people. However, countless of our sons and daughters have sacrificed their lives for the safety of the lives and property of the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan.
Their own precious lives. They are not orphans. They also have families, old people, children and wives who need to survive. The meager pension from our Hetao alone is simply not enough to sustain their families. Therefore, I hope that the tribes of the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan
For the sake of the soldiers fighting bloody battles for them, the elders can lend a helping hand and pity their orphans and widowed mothers. People's hearts are made of flesh, and our Hetao army has sacrificed so much for the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan.
Do they have the heart to let us return empty-handed? Besides, the Lord and Mistress have said that we cannot take advantage of the common people. As long as we are Hetao soldiers, we must abide by this. But they did not say that we cannot take advantage of these tribes.
Things that belong to the clan leaders and elders, if others send us things with enthusiasm, but we refuse to accept them, how sad will they be?"
