"The Lord of Hui Chi has a close relationship with the Meng Jue royal family and is not very fond of war, but no one dares to do so, so he is somewhat at ease.??
The Hui Chi territory is about the same size as the Hui Mongolia. Although the products are not abundant, the number of people is far higher than that of several countries in the Western Regions. They are all involved in nomadic farming and farming, so it can be regarded as a place to live and work in peace and contentment."
"The Hui Chi country is different from other countries in that it seems to be somewhat closed to the outside world.
A few years ago, when most of Dizhou was occupied by the Xirong, they did not open the border Shangfu. If the Huiji and the Mongols had a long history, they might have other intentions in opening the Shangfu.
However, when the Qiang troops were defeated in Mobei, their attempt to use the road to return to Chi was rejected. Mu Tianlang also had to accept this sentiment, and if there was no change in the return of Chi, the current situation would be maintained for the time being.
Meng Jue is dormant and unable to come out, so Shepherd cannot start the battle lightly, just be more careful."
The three of them talked for a few more moments and then went about their business.
Thousands of miles away, Zhang Rongzheng, the inspection chief of Zhuocheng, had begun to inspect various places in the five prefectures with great fanfare. The ministers in the court were also busy and making plans. Little did they know that Li Luo had already taken the lead and laid an ambush to wait.
Various units in the army have been training continuously, and the Yueqi Battalion under Huchajing's unit has the strongest military strength, ranking first among the eight battalions.
However, no one could have expected that the Changshui Battalion of Hucha Dongchan would also emerge from nowhere, and seemed to be somewhat of a rising star. In addition, the officers and soldiers of the Changshui Battalion had all served under the Chinese army's tent and were very brave.
Hucha Dongchan's training was no less difficult than that of the Yueqi Camp. In terms of combat strength alone, I am afraid that only the Yueqi Camp could be said to be victorious. Even the Huqi Camp led by Yun Wuyan did not dare to say victory or defeat lightly.
In addition, Yuan Jun's Shesheng Camp is also of great importance. Now Mu Tianlang's army is at its peak, even before the battle with Xirong.
Dagan was calm for a while, and nothing happened in the surrounding area. However, the more peaceful it became, the more uneasy the generals felt. If there were any more disturbances, there would be earth-shattering changes.
It was rare for Li Luo and others to have some peaceful moments, but the generals were busy all day, and it was rare for them to get together after several days.
Unable to fulfill his wish, Li Luo returned to Guannan Camp for less than a month when urgent news came from Zhuocheng.
Chinese army tent.
Li Luo looked at the urgent report from Zhuocheng in his hand and thought hard. Among the generals in the camp, Zhou Linhan was guarding Xinye and had not returned. Yuan Jun was far away in Moxia City. The rest of the generals had gathered together and looked at Li Luo, who was contemplating and silent. He didn't know what the urgent report from the court was.
Why.
Shen Xiangdong already knew the content of the imperial edict, and had a solemn expression on his face at this time. Yun Wuyan had not long returned from Xinye, and he didn't know what was going on. Seeing Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong in this state, his heart sank and he was silent.
When Li Luo saw all the generals arriving, he smiled kindly and said, "You have worked hard these days."
Hucha Dongchan was impatient and couldn't help but call out in a crisp voice: "General, what happened?"
Li Luo took Zhuocheng's imperial edict and handed it to Yun Wuyan. Yun Wuyan took it with both hands, looked at it and shouted in surprise: "This is it!?"
Li Luo glanced at the generals and said calmly: "Yesterday, there was a message from Zhuocheng that rogue bandits were raging along the southeastern coast of Dagan. War reports were reported from all the states. The two states of Dongyanchuyang were the most damaged. More than half of the territory of the two states had been destroyed.
Overseas aliens invaded and occupied the country, and the imperial navy and state garrison were defeated in repeated battles and were completely defeated.
The Holy Spirit passed the decree and appointed me to be the commander-in-chief. I will mobilize soldiers from Mu Tianlang’s army and march to the East Mansion to calm down the war.”
There was an uproar under the tent, not worried, but more surprised.
Yun Wuyan put down the imperial edict, frowned and said, "Why did the imperial court choose to stay far away from the near? Mu Tianlang is far away in the West Mansion. Even if we don't stop, it will be several months before we reach the East Mansion. It is really a taboo for military strategists to miss the chance of fighting in this way."
Li Luo's expression remained the same, and Wen Yan replied: "Just as the imperial edict said, Mu Tianlang is now famous, and someone seems to have asked the Holy One to say that only Mu Tianlang can defeat the pirates.
The Holy One has issued this decree. Not counting the time spent on the journey, after arriving at Dongfu, the bandits will be pacified within three months."
"Three months!? Isn't this a difficult thing to do?"
Hucha Dongchan said angrily, "When marching and fighting, strategy comes first. Now we don't know the situation in Dongfu. It's hard to decide whether the enemy is strong or weak. Naval battles are not what Mu Tianlang is good at. In three months, the court will
These people are too embarrassed to say it."
When Huchajing saw that Huchadongchan was blaming Emperor Wanlong as well, he hurriedly scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not big or small."
Hucha Dongchan glared at Huchajing and said angrily: "That's right." However, she also realized that her words were inappropriate and lowered her voice.
Li Luo didn't take it seriously and nodded in praise: "The princess really looks like the commander-in-chief of an army. Everything she said just now makes sense. I will treat you with admiration after three days apart."
Hucha Dongchan's face turned red, she gave Hucha Jing a blank look, and looked at Hucha Jing with a proud expression.
The Huchajing brothers and sisters had always been like this, and the generals were not surprised. However, looking at the green-faced Huchajing, they couldn't help but smile secretly, which slightly diluted the feeling of blame and anger in the tent.
"The princess's words are reasonable, but the Holy Spirit's golden words are true. The imperial edict has arrived at the Guannan camp, and we must obey it.
As for the three-month period, although it is a bit unreasonable, if the bandits in Dongfu can be put down as early as possible, it will be a good thing for the people of Dongfu, so I have to give it a try even if I have no choice."
"General, what should we do?"
Li Luo looked at Yun Wuyan and said in a solemn voice: "This time I went to Dongfu just to drive away thieves. Mu Tianlang still has a place to be useful, but when it comes to the water, Mu Tianlang is no longer the director. I still need to ask for help.
Mr. Shen, please give me some pointers."
All the generals in the tent responded in unison. Except for Shen Xiangdong, the rest of them had never experienced a water battle.
Shen Xiangdong coughed lightly and sighed: "I don't know much about naval warfare, I just know a little bit about it."
Huchajing said in a deep voice: "Sir, please speak frankly. Even if you only know something superficial, you are much better than me."
Shen Xiangdong was not polite, he pondered for a moment, and said with careful consideration: "There is more water in the East Prefecture, which is not as good as the northern border of the Western Region, so the cavalry may not be able to achieve success in battle.
When we go east this time, I think we should mainly use the Shesheng Battalion, with the cavalry and infantry as supplements. If the bandits escape into the sea, we will have to rely on the Dagandong Prefecture Navy to compete."
Shen Xiangdong saw that the generals seemed a little unimpressed and said with a wry smile, "It's not that I underestimate the bravery of Mu Tianlang's troops, but when you are on the river and sea, you can see thousands of miles away and have no one to rely on. There is only a warship at your feet. Even if you can see the enemy
If there is no wind, the ship will not be able to get close even if it catches up to it for ten and a half days. It can only look at the ocean and sigh.
Only when we reach the sea do we really feel that we are running out of manpower. If we are unlucky and encounter a storm, we can only resign ourselves to fate."
Huchajing was speechless and said: "Is it really that difficult?"
"It is difficult to say, easy to say. It is not good for our soldiers, and naturally it is also bad for the enemy. The battle of Zhouhai depends on who can take advantage of the power of the sky. It also pays attention to the favorable time, place and people. But it is different from the 6th battle.
Please lend me more weight on this day." (To be continued.)
