Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 82: Trick

The so-called misfortune is where good fortune rests, and good fortune is where misfortune lies. This sentence is just right to describe the situation in Kansai. Just as the morale of the Taiping Army in the Kansai region was greatly boosted by the defense of Longdong, a huge war storm was generated in the south.

On January 27, 696 in the mainland calendar, Lin Guoxiong, the military and political governor of the Sanjiang Empire, made a speech on the front page of the "Sanjiang Daily", saying that he could not sit idly by and watch the situation in the southwestern part of the empire deteriorate, and he must do his best to save the people of Kansai from the fire. Among them, it was announced that they would send troops to the north to attack Kansai. In the early morning of the same day, more than 100,000 troops from the five divisions of the Sanjiang First Army launched an attack on the border line of more than 200 miles to the north. The legion is powerful, even conquering several important towns and fortresses in the south of Lujiang Mansion.

At the same time, on January 28, Lang Yongquan, the military and political envoy of the Tiannan Empire and the governor of Burma, also issued a call to action against the bandits, announcing that in response to Lin Guoxiong's call, he would send troops to the north to ensure the stability of the western part of the empire. In the early morning of the same day, the five divisions of the Tiannan First Army also divided into two groups and went straight to Bashanfu in the north. On January 30, the two troops of the Tiannan First Army successfully joined forces in Bashanfu City. The Taiping garrison had voluntarily given up Bashanfu and retreated northward. On February 2 in the mainland calendar, the Tiannan First Army had already controlled the entire Bashan Prefecture.

On February 4th of the mainland calendar, the Sanjiang First Army Corps captured Lujiang Prefecture after three days of hard work. On February 7th, the Sanjiang First Army Corps had already occupied the entire Lujiang Prefecture.

This series of battles swept across the entire Eastern Continent like a strong hurricane, and had a huge impact on many countries including Liberia, the Machi Khanate, and the Kingdom of Milan. It was like a strong earthquake, especially when the 100,000 troops of the empire marched westward to attack a small Longdong mansion and returned home. Compared with the victory in the Qinghe battle in the north, it was even more unacceptable. It was cloudy, and the faint sound of wind and thunder was already rolling over the heads of many officials.

The changes in the situation in the northern part of the empire and in Kansai caught Wufeng and Ling Tianfang who were in Lulong Mansion by surprise. The weakness of the army also made the two aware of the weakness of the imperial army. Under such a favorable situation, they failed to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack to completely defeat the enemy in one go. While sighing with regret, Ling Tianfang and Ling Tianfang were also secretly thinking about the next move of the empire.

But before the two of them thought it through, the amazing news of the empire's westward group attacking blindly in Longdong and being raided by the Taiping Army's surprise army on the rear headquarters had already spread. The price of ten thousand people did not even get any results, so they retreated to Tianshui in desperation, waiting for the senior officers among them to be the gendarmerie and military court.

Just as Wufeng and Ling Tianfang were in a hurry to discuss countermeasures, the situation in Kansai changed drastically again. The two had to reconsider the deployment and arrangement, and the extraordinary combat effectiveness of Lin Lang's two armies also surprised them secretly.

"Tian Fang, it seems that everyone wants to have a bite of this piece of meat in Kansai. Are we a bit too conservative?" Wu Feng asked casually while sipping a strong coffee.

"Conservative? My lord, you think too highly of yourself, don't you? Now that Lulong's defense has been drawn from the northwest, there is only one fifth division and one incomplete independent second division stationed at Zhegu Pass. Division, what else are you planning to do? Do you want to conquer the Longdong Mansion in one fell swoop, or go south to capture the Xikang Mansion? Or divide the troops into two groups and take it all at once?" Ling Tianfang angrily mocked his whimsical boss.

Scratching his head, Wu Feng chuckled, with an embarrassing look on his face, and said: "Tian Fang, I just asked a random question, there is no need to hit me like this?"

Ling Tianfang snorted and didn't speak again. He just read the information carefully and checked it carefully against the map on the desk. The weather has become very cold. The winter in the northern part of the empire is cold and dry. Almost every household has lit the pots and lit the kang. Although Wufeng is not too afraid of the cold, he does as the Romans do, and he still lights up the fire in his study. There are two big braziers.

"I didn't expect that after the Taiping Army won a brilliant victory in Longdong, they would retreat all the way to the south, even willing to give up the Lujiang and Bashan that they worked so hard to occupy. This Bo Jinchen is really not easy." Ling Tian Fang muttered to himself while pondering over the information.

"Well, that's because the situation forced him to do this. According to intelligence, Lin Lang and his family have each used their most elite first legion, 200,000 troops, and I am afraid that all the Taiping troops in Kansai will be assembled It may not be able to resist it, so it is better to retreat generously, save strength, and choose a favorable opportunity to fight again. Hanzhong Mansion is surrounded by mountains, and the roads leading to various places have dangerous passes, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be said that it is a desperate place where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. It is impossible to conquer it by external force. Although Lin Lang and his family have occupied the two southern mansions, it will be difficult to advance northward." Wu Fengyan Looking out the window, it seems to recall something.

The memory of traveling around in my youth seemed to come into my head again. The scenes of climbing the mountains and mountains surrounding Hanzhong Mansion alone are still so clear in my mind. Maybe this is a way for the master to train himself on purpose.

"Among them, Bo Yuanchen should have more insidious intentions." Ling Tianfang smiled slightly, his dark skin looked extraordinarily healthy under the reflection of the charcoal fire in the brazier.

"Oh?" Wufeng raised his eyebrows with interest, "Aside from saving his strength and waiting for work, what other ideas does this old fox like Bo Jinchen have?"

"Although the empire is now unable to control the situation in Kansai, the Lin Lang family is still subject to the empire in name, just like you, if the empire now lets us evacuate Lulong and let the imperial army take over Lulong, you What will we do?" Ling Tianfang grinned, his white teeth and dark skin were even more dazzling.

"Hey, I didn't occupy Lulong, but I was invited to resist the attack of the Taiping Rebellion. The nature is completely different." Wufeng pushed cunningly: "If the empire wants me to withdraw, of course I will Obey, this is the duty of a courtier."

"Really?" Ling Tianfang was used to the subconsciously hypocritical words of his superiors, and he was noncommittal as usual, "Maybe the Lin Lang family don't think so, especially the Lin family. It's expensive."

"Well, that's true, maybe the Lin Lang family is not as obedient as we are." Wu Feng shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Based on my subordinates' estimates, that Bo Jinchen may have seen this too, that is, the empire will definitely not be indifferent to the Linlang family's easy control of the Lujiang and Bashan prefectures, and may ask the imperial army to station to take over. , but how will the Lin Lang family react?" Ling Tianfang seemed to be asking Wufeng, but he seemed to be asking himself.

"Should I hand over the hand over, or delay it with excuses, or explicitly refuse? Judging by my subordinates, it is obviously impossible to hand over the hand, otherwise the two families would not have spent so much effort to send troops. Since sending troops must be I don’t plan to withdraw from here again. I’m afraid I can’t make a clear refusal, after all, there is still this relationship in it. There is only the second option, or the empire will come up with some exchange conditions for the two to withdraw from here.” Analysis of Ling Tian’s banishment with.

"Exchange terms? I'm afraid the Lin Lang family won't agree to whatever the empire offers. These two families have coveted Kansai for a long time. Now that they have finally seized the opportunity, how can they easily withdraw?" Wu Feng shook his head. He expressed that he disagreed with his confidant subordinate's opinion, "The Lin Lang family has only one way, which is to use the excuse that the Taiping Army may make a comeback at any time. In order to prevent the two places from falling again, they can only shoulder this important task now. In any case, It will not allow these two places to be handed over to the empire. But the two are definitely not willing to completely break with the empire because of this matter, and the empire also has scruples, so in the end these parties will make some kind of mutual compromise. Reluctantly reach an agreement, at least until the power of the Taiping Army has not disappeared."

"My lord, why do I feel that you seem to be talking about our relationship with the empire?" Ling Tianfang looked at his boss with a half-smile and asked thoughtfully.

"Really? Hehe, maybe you are too sensitive, haha." Wufeng typed a series of haha, covering up his casual feelings.

"According to my subordinates, some diehards in the imperial court probably won't tolerate the Lin Lang family openly controlling these two places. They will definitely exert great pressure on the imperial court to demand that the imperial army enter these two places. ~IndoMTL.com~ Will there be any changes in the middle?" Ling Tianfang didn't say much about this issue, but talked about his own views on the reaction of the imperial court to this matter.

Wufeng was stunned when he heard this, he hadn't thought about this issue yet, in his opinion, strength determines everything, the empire doesn't have the strength to contend with the Lin Lang family when it confronts the Taiping Army, so it can only make a decision. Give in, maybe I have ignored the thoughts of the hardliners in the imperial court who are desperate for face.

Standing up and walking around the room twice, Wufeng opened his mouth again: "You mean, the empire might send troops into the Lujiang River?" None of them bordered Bashan Prefecture, so the empire had to enter the Lujiang River first if it really wanted to send troops.

"What if the empire marched into Lujiang without consulting the Lin family?" Ling Tianfang asked leisurely, "Does the Lin family's army really dare to confront the army at the center of the empire face to face?"

As soon as this question was asked, even Wufeng found it difficult to answer. Yes, if it was me, I am afraid it would be difficult to make up my mind for a while. At least for now, the name of attacking the central army of the empire is enough to make a subject The local government has fallen into a passive situation accused by thousands of people, and no one dares to act rashly on this issue.

Heaving a long breath, Wufeng shook his head and smiled wryly: "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to make a decision. However, if an old **** like Bo Jinchen thinks so far, then this guy's methods are really serious." It can be called insidious."
