Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 20: The Wind and Cloud on the Western Front (2)

The Zijingguan Fortress was built on a flat site about 120 miles northwest of Shuangduifu City. It is on the throat of the Indian Kingdom entering Luzon, and about 20 miles northwest, it enters India and Germany Within the territory of the Kingdom of An, about a hundred miles to the northeast is the boundary of the Kuqa Kingdom, and to the southwest is the vast green sea swamp and the area where the five ethnic groups have lived for generations. It is really an extremely important pass.

After nearly a year of construction, the Zijingguan Fortress has grown from scratch. With the hard work of nearly 50,000 migrant workers day and night, a medium-sized fortress has begun to take shape. The gate of the fortress is quite magnificent, just across the commercial road extending from the Northwest Indian Kingdom. Obviously, the original intention of the planners is to strangle this important commercial road and let the people of the tax inspector check the tax evasion in this area. The caravan was also one of the original intentions of establishing this fortress.

The fortress is in the shape of a square. The west gate is slightly slanted and slanted to the north. It should be called the northwest gate. The walls on each side are about 1,000 meters long. How many residents live there, and many administrative agencies have not yet been established. Apart from a few people in the tax inspection department, the garrison accounts for more than half.

It took less than a year to build such a fortress. In addition to rushing to work day and night, the strong support of the people from the five ethnic groups around is also a reason. Of course, most of the defensive facilities on the fortress have not been installed in place, and many bricks, wood and stones are still thrown around on the city wall waiting to be cleaned up, but this does not seem to affect the interest of the few people who visited and inspected on the city wall.

"Boss Liang, do you think your lord will agree with our proposal?" Even though he was dressed in casual clothes, he could not hide his strong military aura at all. His face was full of pride and ambition, and his eyes were piercing. He Lianbo, the head of the regiment, "I'm exhausted. I'm so bored in this bird place that I'm about to grow maggots. Seeing that there is going to be a war in the east, it seems that we have no game. If we continue to hang around like this, we will really have to hold back." Sick."

"Hey, head of the division, I think you've had a good time in Shuangdui City. Today's Fushou Building, tomorrow's Chunfang Courtyard, and the day before yesterday you were still lamenting how fat Little Moon Fairy's **** is. Nen, why do you say that life is no fun today?" The young man on the side did not wait for the man in the middle to answer, and had already picked up the conversation.

"Linghuyi, you bastard, you're the only one who **** **** me up in front of Boss Liang?" Helianbo said angrily, "If you keep your bird's mouth shut for a while longer Want to suffocate you?"

"Huh? Commander, I just repeated your old man's words in a down-to-earth manner." The young man was naturally his deputy, Linghu Yi. The two of them were used to joking, and Linghu Yi pretended He looked aggrieved.

"Hmph! When did you learn to learn Qu Bo, kid? Don't be so glib, it will damage your own image!" He Lianbo said earnestly.

"That's enough, that's enough, division commander, please don't make such a pitiful face, okay, this really doesn't fit your personality!" Linghu Yi was even more exaggerated, bowing again and again.

Seeing the performance of the pair in front of him, Liang Chongxin couldn't help showing a smile on his expressionless face, and a relaxed mood filled his heart.

"Helian, how many people are you stationed here?" Liang Chongxin turned his gaze to the far northwest.

"According to your instructions, in order to avoid provoking the Indians and to conceal our intentions, we only stationed two brigades of soldiers, one infantry brigade and one cavalry brigade. Usually they only send one squadron for patrol Go out and try not to get close to the border area." He Lianbo replied with a sigh, "I just don't know if we will have any results. If the adults don't approve our plan, it will be nothing."

"Look, my lord has his own opinion. I have stated our views in detail in the letter. As for whether we agree or not, it is not up to us. Maybe your lord has his own opinion?" Liang Chongxin obviously did not have much confidence in this matter.

"Then division commander, do you still want Shan Zhu to lead his division over here?" The young man who had been standing behind Liang Chongxin without speaking could not help asking. He was naturally Qu Bo, the deputy division commander of the first division. .

"If your lord does not agree with our plan, then let's hold a training session. If your lord agrees, we have to prepare as soon as possible, so that Shanzhu's infantry division can get acquainted with the situation earlier." Liang Chongxin glanced at himself The deputy explained lightly.

"So, Boss Liang, you still have great confidence in our plan being approved by adults?" He Lianbo immediately understood the key point.

"It's not necessarily true, but it's better to prepare early than to be busy at the last minute." Liang Chong secretly smiled confidently, noncommittal.

Several people were speechless for a while, and finally Liang Chong said: "Although the Zijingguan Fortress has been initially built, these defensive facilities have not yet been equipped. If you go back, you should ask Luman to replenish these facilities as soon as possible."

"Hey, Lu Man is now concentrating all his thoughts on the iron mine in the north, trying to dig out a golden baby, and now he is lobbying the businessmen in Shuangdui City to invest in a large refinery Ironworks, if you want him to pay for these defensive equipment immediately, it would be better to cut his own flesh." Linghuyi said with a smile.

"I'm afraid he can't be left alone. Master Li has long ordered him to build the Zijingguan Fortress as soon as possible. Although it has been built now, it lacks defensive facilities. To confront the Punjabs and even the Tik people, this fortress is the most important base, and the defense system is not perfect, which will greatly affect future military operations." Qu Bo, the deputy head of the First Division, spoke.

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. As the city guard of Shuangdui Mansion, Lu Man's perspective of seeing and doing things is naturally different from ours. The adults want him to build Shuangdui Mansion into an important place in the Northwest within a relatively short period of time. It is no wonder that this guy is so busy all day, but as Qu Bo said, the Bauhinia Pass Fortress is related to the overall situation and must be completed in a short time. Let him have a good talk." Liang Chongxin said slowly.

A rush of horseshoes sounded all the way to the city wall where they were standing, and their sensitive eyes immediately turned to the stone steps at the corner of the city wall. .

"My lord, urgent report from Qingyang!" Panting, the sergeant took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Liang Chongxin.

After a brief glance, Liang Chongxin was startled, then thought for a while, and then nodded slightly after a while, the six words were still in his mind, "reasonable, well-founded, and restrained", justified and well-founded It's still easy, but it's a bit difficult to master if you have festivals. It seems that you have to plan well.

The hopeful eyes of the few people beside him all fell on Liang Chongxin's face, trying to see some clues from his face, but Liang Chongxin, who had already practiced the ancient well, could not see anything except a trace of solemnity. other.

"Helian, you order the soldiers stationed here not to go out on patrol for the time being. In addition, you should immediately send someone to Mingzhu Town to inform the leaders of the five clans and ask their self-defense forces to step up their guard. Do not go out for other special circumstances." He didn't say anything else, but just a few short sentences made the three people around him understand the contents of the letter.

Mingzhu Town is located on the bank of the Green Sea Swamp. It used to be just a small village. Management, while effectively exercising the right to rule, Shuangdui Mansion set up the entire vast area near the Green Sea Swamp as Mingzhu Town, and the town officials were basically sent by people from the five ethnic groups. At the same time, considering that the local area is far away from Shuangdui Fucheng and is often harassed by the Punjab people in the west, under Wufeng's proposal, the five ethnic groups reduced their original armed forces and formed a team of about 4,000 people. The Self-Defense Force, as the auxiliary force of the Shuangdui Security Division, is usually responsible for cooperating with a brigade of soldiers from the Shuangdui Security Division stationed in Mingzhu Town to maintain local security.

He Lianbo and Linghu Yi jumped up at the same time, exchanged excited glances with each other, and finally He Lianbo asked: "Boss Liang, but your lord agrees that we have a big fight?"

Liang Chongxin took a deep breath and said, "My lord agrees, but it's not a big fight~IndoMTL.com~ but a small fight."

"A small job?" The other three couldn't help looking at each other, and for a long time they didn't understand what Liang Chongxin meant by a small job.

Liang Chongxin didn't explain much, and casually threw the letter to He Lianbo, and the three of them immediately surrounded him. The short six words made the three of them ponder for a long time, and slowly realized the meaning of that small job.

"It seems that Master Li doesn't want our war situation to drag down the east side, so the war situation in the east side is already on the verge of breaking out." Linghu Yi's words expressed the opinions of the three of them.

"Well, no matter what, it's better to do a small job than nothing. The Punjab people have been clamoring that they are invincible, so let's play with them." He Lianbo licked his lips unwillingly , but he was still excited to have a battle to fight.

"Although small cadres are small cadres, we must pay more attention to them. Do you understand what the adults mean? Although the scale of this battle must be controlled to avoid expansion, the enemy must be hurt, otherwise we will lose the battle." The significance of this battle is over, and this is quite a test of our skills." Liang Chongxin showed a rare smile with confidence on his face.

"Don't worry, Boss Liang, we are all your old brothers. You know exactly how many brushes we have, but the Pangzha people seem to have restrained a lot since we entered Shuangdui Mansion for half a year. If we want to lure They have to spend a little time thinking about taking the bait." He Lianbo scratched his scalp and said.

"Hey, dogs can't change eating shit. The people of Punjah have been quiet for so long, I'm afraid they can't hold back anymore. People who haven't really suffered will not easily believe that snakes are cold. If you want to make them take the bait It's not a piece of cake." A creepy smile appeared on Linghu Yi's face, as if a jackal was watching the poor lamb, and even Qu Bo beside him couldn't help shivering.
