Wang Dahai and his men had already approached Du Hongjian's command post.
He turned on the in-game communicator and laid out tactics to several teammates around him.
After a while, shouts of killing came from the main entrance of the command post. Du Hongjian, who was observing the battle situation, was horrified. The enemy was coming?
Shouldn't it? My command post is so hidden, and there is no early warning from the guard camp at the foot of the mountain?
While Du Hongjian was still confused, several figures rushed out from behind him.
Wang Dahai held a wooden dagger and rushed to Du Hongjian's side.
Du Hongjian was also trained in the military, and it was not like he had never encountered an assassination when he was in Shuofang.
He rolled around, then began to call for guards, and rushed towards his personal guards.
But how could Wang Dahai give him this chance? He quickly kicked Du Hongjian, then grabbed Du Hongjian's back armor and put a dagger against the back of his neck.
"Shuai Du, you are dead."
Wang Dahai said with a smile, Du Hongjian's neck was stained with red lime, which meant that he had been killed.
The ensuing battle was very fast. Although Du Hongjian had more than thirty guards, Wang Dahai's special operations battalion were all trained in close combat combat, and they quickly "killed" all the guards.
Du Hongjian's face turned pale. His headquarters was actually captured, and the commander of his first army was captured alive by his opponent. This was a great shame and humiliation!
But if his skills are not as good as others, he can only be incompetent and furious.
Du Hongjian was secretly shocked, where did the Yue King collect these dead soldiers?
And where did they come from? He clearly had a guard camp set up at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing Du Hongjian's confused look, Wang Dahai pointed to the cliff and said, "We climbed up from there."
Du Hongjian immediately said: "Impossible!"
He personally surveyed this cliff. The cliff is very steep and the rock surface is smooth, with no place to stay.
Seeing that Du Hongjian didn't believe it, Wang Dahai said: "If Du Shuai doesn't believe it, then I will climb up again to show you."
After saying that, Wang Dahai used a rope to descend to the bottom of the cliff, and then climbed up from the cliff with ease.
Now Du Hongjian looked at Wang Dahai, with an indescribable light shining in his eyes.
Such a master, Jing Ke Zhuanzhu in ancient times could only do this, right?
If you can climb this ten thousand-foot cliff, what about the walls of Daming Palace and Taiji Palace?
The more he thought about it, the more fearful Du Hongjian felt.
What is the purpose of the Yue King in Longyou training such elite troops and cultivating such skilled soldiers?
The answer is already there!
Du Hongjian, who had already spied the "deepest secret" of the Yue King, quickly pretended to be calm. He was already in Hexi at this time, but he must not reveal it!
Du Hongjian calmed down, the outcome of this military exercise was no longer so important.
He said to Wang Dahai: "Our army is defeated, the Hexi army is so brave, Shuofang feels inferior!"
Wang Dahai looked at Du Hongjian with admiration, but he didn't expect that this guy was actually willing to admit defeat.
Wang Dahai raised a red signal flare at Du Hongjian's headquarters, and Xue Hu also directed a full-scale attack on the frontal battlefield.
When the Hexi Army deployed all its strength, the Shuofang Army, which had been overwhelmed for a long time, completely collapsed and surrendered one after another.
Du Hongjian no longer had the time to pay attention to the military exercise, but instead focused on trying to figure out the King of Yue.
Du Hongjian was annoyed that he hadn't noticed the lion cub lying next to him.
Looking back now, when King Huo of Yue merged with Fang Guan, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and finally got the power to control Longyou and Hexi, he was already showing his fangs.
It's a pity that Du Hongjian was paying attention to the war in the Central Plains at that time and did not inquire about the situation of his next door neighbor.
Du Hongjian subconsciously thought that Longyou, which had been mobilized with 200,000 elites, was already in a mess. However, he did not expect that the King of Yue would clean up the mess and train such a mess in just one year.
Elite!
Du Hongjian felt bitter in his heart. He originally thought he was coming to Hexi to help the King of Yue defend Tibet, but seeing the strength of the King of Yue's army, could he still return to Shuofang?
Wang Dahai had no idea that one of his beheadings had aroused so many thoughts in Du Hongjian.
He just thought that Du Hongjian was stunned by him. Half an hour later, Xu Jun and Xue Hu also boarded Du Hongjian's command post.
After seeing the two men, Du Hongjian stepped forward and said: "The Hexi army is strong, and our Shuofang army is willing to lose."
Xue Hu humbly supported Du Hongjian and said: "The battlefield is like a casino. This time it was just a fluke. This exercise is just a discussion and exchange between the two armies. How can we win or lose?"
Hearing such a high emotional intelligence speech, Du Hongjian felt better.
Xu Jun added: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue is already on his way to Wuwei, and a large military exercise is expected to be held in Wuwei City in three days."
"You want Marshal Du to rest in the military camp for a few days, and then we can go to see His Highness together after the three of us?"
Du Hongjian quickly nodded in agreement, and then said, "I want to visit Wuwei City in the next few days. Is it convenient?"
Xu Jun smiled and said: "I am just the chief of staff of the shogunate, and this Wuwei City is Lao Xue's territory."
Xue Hu immediately said: "Du Jiedu is going to inspect Wuwei. That is the glory of our Wuwei City. I will arrange manpower to accompany Du Jiedu around Wuwei."
Xue Hu was still happy to arrange a satisfactory inspection for Du Hongjian, but Xu Junze's eyes flashed, and it seemed that the fish had taken the bait.
The reason why the General Staff wanted to hold a large-scale military exercise in Wuwei was to demonstrate force and conquer Du Hongjian and Shuofang's army, thereby annexing this army.
Now that Du Hongjian has taken the initiative to visit Wuwei, he may have already thought of exploring the family background in Hexi and seeking refuge with the King of Yue.
The General Staff has conducted a comprehensive study and analysis on Du Hongjian. This Shuofang Jiedushi, who was a Jinshi, can be said to be a very successful investor in the Tang Dynasty.
After leaving Chang'an to invest in Li Heng's rise to power, he led the troops outside when the current political situation was unclear.
In the original timeline, after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Du Hongjian still had deep trust in the emperor and even went to court to pay homage to the prime minister twice.
For such a smart person, what the general staff needs is for him to join the Yue King's command with sincerity.
This is how this series of actions took place.
Seeing that Du Hongjian had taken the bait, Xu Jun showed a satisfied smile on his lips.
Next, Xu Jun deliberately lifted the alcohol ban, and the logistics officer brought fine wine to the military camps of the two armies, and arranged a large amount of delicious food to celebrate the end of the training and military exercise.
Xu Jun also built a pontoon bridge across the river at the camp of the two armies and set up bonfires on both sides of the river bank.
That night, soldiers from both armies sang and danced, and the Hexi Army warmly welcomed Shuofang's army into Wuwei.
This celebration dispelled the confrontational mood of the day's military exercise. The two armies sang and danced beside the bonfire by the river, dispersing a little of the haze of this chaotic world, and also made the Shuofang army who had just entered Hexi feel warm.
People are so strange. A weak person's flattery is often dismissed by others, but a strong person's invitation to play with you will make people feel warm in their hearts.
The Hexi Army was the winner of this military exercise, but they did not show the arrogance of the victors. Instead, they pulled the Shuofang Army to sing and dance together.
Wang Dahai also took Du Hongjian's personal guard leader to wrestle together, and the two sides fought evenly. After a hearty battle, Wang Dahai actually became good friends with this personal guard leader.
Du Guang and Fang Jianguo, who were facing each other in front of the battle formation, were also sitting by the campfire discussing gun skills. The whole camp was a harmonious scene. It is hard to imagine that the two armies were still at war with each other during the day.
In order to participate in the military parade held in Wuwei City, Li Yan had already set off from Shazhou to Wuwei with his close men in advance.
Li Yan set off from Shazhou in a carriage. This was Li Yan's first trip westward after occupying Hexi. The internal security players had already prepared security work on various sections of the route in advance. The mighty Dudu Mansion convoy stirred up smoke and dust.
We drove all the way into Guazhou.
As the place where Li Yan started his business, Guazhou is now full of workshops.
Thanks to the day and night efforts of the generals and players to suppress bandits, the public security in Guazhou has become so good that no one is picking up lost items on the road.
In order to develop, the people in Guazhou City unanimously agreed to demolish the city walls of Guazhou City and expand the workshops in the city outside the city.
The Dashuixia Iron Mining Area, which was originally twenty miles away from Guazhou City, has almost become connected with the workshops outside Guazhou City.
Accompanied by Guazhou officials, Li Yan visited the iron industry center in Dashuixia, Guazhou. Looking at the blacksmith workshops emitting thick smoke, Li Yan was filled with emotion.
Dashuixia Iron Mine can be said to be the starting point of Longyou's royal industry. It was the steel forged here and the artillery cast here that helped Li Yan build such a large territory.
After leaving Guazhou, Li Yan headed west again, crossing a desert to Jiuquan.
Li Mi was sitting in Li Yan's car. At this time, the convoy of the Dudu Palace stopped at an oasis for supplies. Li Mi looked at the busy scene of the oasis and it was hard to imagine that there was a vast desert just one mile away from this oasis.
"Your Highness, the railway plan between Jiuquan and Guazhou was rejected by the Department of Transportation. With Longyou's current technology, it is still too difficult to build a railway in the desert."
The Transportation Department is a newly established department of the Metropolitan Government. Road construction projects are growing wildly in various places, and roads are even being built repeatedly in many areas.
In order to coordinate planning, the Metropolitan Government established a Transportation Department to review road planning plans submitted by various localities.
The director of the Department of Transportation is chaired by a master's student in road planning. The new director, Cai Bo, rejected the plan to build a railway between Guazhou and Jiuquan on his first day in office.
Cai Bo's reason is also very simple. The cost of building a railway in the Gobi is high, and the cost of maintenance is also high. Historically, although the Longhai Railway was started in the late Qing Dynasty, the construction of the most difficult section of the railway across the Gobi was only started after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
, a lot of manpower and material resources were also spent during this period.
Cai Bo rejected this plan and instead developed the oasis between Jiuquan and Guazhou. He repaired this section of the road and made the trade route in this section much smoother.
After the supplies were completed, the King of Yue's convoy set off again to his loyal city of Jiuquan, then changed to the completed Jiuquan-Zhangye-Wuwei section of the railway and took a horse-drawn train to Wuwei.
