"Do you think what this guy said is true? He has been increasing his troops during this period. If we retreat, if he makes a counterattack..."
The preliminary talks have ended, and Zhang Yuncheng has returned to the former enemy headquarters. Wang Huaili is skeptical about General Long's proposal. After all, the two sides have been at war with each other for so long. Do you want to retreat if you say retreat?
"I think so too, but I just received a message that heavy rains have fallen in the three southwestern provinces recently, and many places have suffered floods. If this is the case, I estimate that General Long will need a large number of troops to go to the rear for disaster relief."
Zhang Yuncheng took out a letter in his hand. This was reported by his father's spies in the three southwestern provinces. This person has been lurking in the three southwestern provinces for nearly ten years, and the information sent back is very important. This time
This news should also be true.
"If you look at it this way, it should be true. Report the news here to the Duke immediately to see what the Duke means. However, during this period, our people cannot slack off in any way.
The armies of the three southwestern provinces have very strong combat capabilities, and they can often reach our positions with just one charge, so you have to keep your eyes open at this time."
Wang Huaili does not dare to make decisions on such an important matter without authorization. If the battlefield here does not involve Nandong Province, then Wang Huaili can decide according to his own ideas, but now Nandong Province is the rear area of the entire fleet. We
Everything is to ensure the victory of the decisive battle at sea, so even if we want to retreat, we must get the permission of the Duke.
Military camps in the three southwestern provinces.
"Father, do you think Zhang Yuncheng can withdraw his troops?"
While Wang Huaili and Zhang Yuncheng were trying to figure out what they meant, General Long was also thinking about this matter in the military camp.
To be honest, General Long is also afraid of the suppressing army coming, but there is nothing he can do now. If the troops at the front are not transferred back, no one will be able to take care of the folks in the rear. Flash floods are no joke.
Yes, the current number of people affected by the disaster has reached millions.
The three southwest provinces themselves are not wealthy provinces. The combined tax revenue of the three southwest provinces is not as high as the tax revenue of Southeast Province itself. However, the population is not very small. Now it is necessary to maintain such a huge garrison. For the three southwest provinces,
It is a huge pressure, but this cannot be blamed on others. Just as Zhang Yuncheng said, the current situation in the three southwestern provinces was caused by General Long.
"If it were Old Man Zhang, I'm afraid he wouldn't withdraw the troops, because this is an excellent opportunity to weaken us. I have been fighting with Old Man Zhang for so many years, and I still know what this old man is thinking, but I guess now the south
The person in charge of the three provinces has been replaced by the young Duke. According to what the young Duke has done, he will definitely order the withdrawal of the troops."
Although General Long had never met Gao Shaoyi, he could infer what Gao Shaoyi had done based on what Gao Shaoyi had done in the past.
"Why is my father so sure? Doesn't he want to capture the three southwestern provinces? If we can capture the three southwestern provinces and unite with the three southern provinces, we can almost fight against the imperial court."
General Long's eldest son Long Jintu said with some confusion.
"This person is different from other people. Maybe I saw it wrong, but if I saw it right, this person should be the savior who saves the world among all peoples. If something is done as a performance, then If all things are acted out, he is a savior."
General Long's words made his son a little confused. He didn't understand why his father would say such things. What is acting?
Of course, General Long understood that his son was confused, but he did not explain too much. After all, he was not sure about the outcome of this matter. Gao Shaoyi put the people first in everything he did. It would be a long time before such a person would dominate the empire. Time has not appeared.
Floods broke out in three provinces in the southwest, and millions of people fled for their lives in the flood. General Long must now use his power to provide disaster relief. If Gao Shaoyi puts the people first, he will definitely order his troops to retreat, but if If so, it will continue to increase its troops in the border area between the two provinces and find a suitable opportunity to annex the three southwestern provinces.
"Report General, there is a letter."
While the two were wondering, the communications soldier outside reported.
Zhang Yuncheng knew General Long personally, and their territory was in this location, so they often interacted with him in the past.
"What did father write in the letter?"
Long Jintu said anxiously beside him, this is related to the future of the three southwestern provinces. Judging from the report this afternoon, if we do not retreat quickly for disaster relief, there may be a larger-scale natural disaster in the next two days. The foundation of the three southwestern provinces is very thin. If they experience this natural disaster, they may not have a chance to stand up.
"Look, they responded to us as quickly as possible. Starting from eight o'clock tomorrow morning, they will gradually retreat. The army invited us to send an observation group. At the same time, they also hope to send an observation group. Both sides will withdraw their troops to the upper level. The situation on the 15th of the month is that one infantry regiment will be stationed at the border area between the two provinces, and all other armies will withdraw."
General Long couldn't explain how he felt at this moment. This was what he wanted, and it was even much more than what he wanted, but General Long just couldn't be happy.
"Isn't this a good thing? We originally wanted to station an infantry brigade in the border area between the two provinces, but the burden is not small for us. Now there is only such an infantry regiment. We don't have to worry about them coming over and can go back to provide disaster relief wholeheartedly. Already."
Long Jintu said very happily that he didn't understand what his father was unhappy about. It was more than what we wanted before.
"Tu'er, maybe a wise master has really appeared in this world. If so, you will no longer be able to be a father in the future. Will you be sad?"
When General Long said this, he was also observing his son.
"Isn't my father teaching us all the time? If the Daqian Dynasty's court can lead the people of the world out of this darkness, even if it means sacrificing the rights of our father and son, so what?"
Long Jintu's brain was spinning slowly, and he still hasn't figured out what his father meant... This chapter has been completed!
