On the morning of January 17, the fourth year of Tianxuan, before Qu Mao had time to discuss the attack on the Luanshan Kingdom with Su Yan, Kong Ming, Xuande, Su Li and Xinping, he received a remote call from Sylvia Ocean.

communication.

In remote communication, Sylvia Ocean told Qu Mao that the navy's temporary main battle force encountered the Mughal Empire's second invasion fleet in the sea 1,200 kilometers away from the Yizhen territory, and then about 1,000 kilometers away from the Yizhen territory.

1,000 kilometers of sea area, completely defeated the second invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire.

Now Sylvia Ocean is leading the navy's temporary main battle team back. Qu Mao doesn't have much time to talk to Sylvia Ocean. He just tells Sylvia Ocean to deal with the counter-trade after returning.

The remaining fleet of the Zhen Alliance was cleared away, because Qu Mao was very interested in the suggestion that Xinping mentioned the day before that he could take down the Luanshan Kingdom.

At noon on January 17, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Kong Ming, Xuande, Su Li, Xinping and Su Yan all gathered in the restaurant on the first floor of the Lord Yizhen's cabin, waiting for Qu Mao to give them a meeting.

Qu Mao walked into the restaurant, glanced at the heroes in the meeting, and then said: "Everyone, before the meeting, Sylvia has sent me a remote communication. The operation to block the second invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire went very smoothly. The enemy

Having fled, Sylvia is on its way back.

But I am not here to see you today to congratulate Sylvia in advance.

Xinping, tell everyone what you reported yesterday."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said with a smile: "Sir, it's too early to celebrate Sylvia.

My subordinates estimate that Sylvia will not stop at Yi Island when she comes back, but will probably go directly to the military port on the outlying island or the south port of Ji Island. After a little preparation, she will go to recover the semi-permanent sentry towers along the reef chain."

Xinping had already hung the simple map on the wall of the restaurant. After Qu Mao, Kong Ming, Xuande and others finished chatting with each other, he cleared his throat with a cough and started talking.

While he was explaining the information about the Luan Mountain Kingdom, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and Liu Qianhui walked in with an indignant look on his face.

Qu Mao asked: "Damn! Liu Qianhui, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Qianhui glanced at the group of people in the restaurant, frowned a few times, and said calmly: "Damn it! Kong Ming, what the hell are you pretending to be? You don't even stop eating, believe it or not, I will kill you one day."

Throw the fan into the stove and burn it."

Kong Ming reluctantly placed the goose feather fan on the table.

Liu Qianhui glared at Xuande and said angrily: "Xuande, put away your hypocritical smile..."

Qu Mao glared at Liu Qianhui and said angrily: "Damn it! Liu Qianhui, you either have to eat or get out! What are you doing when you have nothing to do?"

Liu Qianhui glanced at Qu Mao resentfully and said dissatisfiedly: "I have joined you for more than half a year, what are you discussing again? Why don't you call me together?

I live on the third floor of the lord's hut, is it difficult to shout?"

Qu Mao sighed and said: "It's not that I'm avoiding you, it's mainly because I'm afraid that you won't be interested.

Besides, just discussing the attack on the Luanshan Kingdom is not a big deal. Do I need to trouble you?

It's just a small country with only a few hundred square kilometers, don't mind.

Come, let's have lunch and chat.

Xinping, continue!"

Kong Ming picked up the goose feather fan again with some embarrassment, but did not shake it, and said: "Sir, my subordinates studied it carefully after getting the map sent by Mr.

…

Ahem... Of course, I still think it is necessary to take it down."

Xuande put away his smile and said seriously: "Sir, even if our army sends 200,000 troops to support Su Yan's recovery, there will still be at least 600,000 troops idle on the 12 islands in the Yizhen territory.

This does not include Master Zhang Da's garrison. Considering the defense conditions of the 12 islands in our Yizhen territory, do we need to keep 800,000 garrison troops on the islands? These garrison troops are also idle.

Anyway, I am idle, so I might as well arrange for Wang Ping and Sir Mrak to lead the army to capture the Luanshan Kingdom. I estimate that they can capture it with 300,000 troops. With our magic army, it will not be a big problem.

Of course, if we want to win it quickly and our losses are minimal, it is no problem to dispatch a total of 800,000 troops from the army and garrison."

Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "Sir Liu Qianhui doesn't know this information yet, let Xinping continue to finish."

Liu Qianhui said: "Expanding the territory is definitely a good thing. Even if we don't know the information, we should take it down."

Xinping coughed again, drawing everyone's attention back, and then began to talk about it, including the geographical situation of the Luanshan Kingdom, the deployment of troops, the advantages and disadvantages of winning the Luanshan Kingdom, etc.

Su Li waited until Xinping finished speaking, then took the initiative to pour a glass of water and handed it to Xinping, saying: "Sir, my lords, I believe that if our Yizhen territory sends troops, we can definitely capture the Luanshan Kingdom.

According to the current information from Mr. Xinping, there are no high-level arms in the Luanshan Kingdom. We not only have a magic legion, but also a cavalry legion, and in the marksman legion, there are at least a large number of fifth-level long-range marksman arms.

Even though the Luanshan Marquis Kingdom has a mountainous terrain and it is difficult to dispatch cavalry, the suppressive effect of high-level warriors on low-level warriors can save us from using a lot of our troops."

Su Yan glanced at Qu Mao, then at everyone, and said hesitantly: "Sir, while attacking the Duke of Liu, and sending troops to capture the Duke of Luanshan, will our Yizhen Territory face two fronts?

The dilemma of combat?”

Liu Qianhui didn't wait for Qu Mao to return to Su Yan's question, and immediately said: "Qu Mao, the Luan Mountain Kingdom must be captured. Even a female streamer like me can see that the geographical location and terrain of the Luan Mountain Kingdom are very real."

It's great.

Even if I don’t understand military matters, after taking over the Luanshan Kingdom, we originally had to defend the 100-kilometer canyon at the junction of the Luanshan Kingdom and the Liuwang Principality, but now we only need to defend the junction of the Luanshan Kingdom and the Gil Kingdom.

10 kilometers wide canyon.

This doesn’t count the thousands of square kilometers of territory we took over from the Luanshan Kingdom. Do the 12 islands in our Yizhen Territory have thousands of square kilometers of territory?”

Kong Ming shook the goose feather fan again and said: "Sir, indeed, what Sir Liu Qianhui said makes sense.

At the same time, sir, please see, in addition to the 100-kilometer-wide canyon here directly connecting the Luanshan Marquis and the Liuwang Principality, there is also an opening less than three kilometers wide near the sea in Nancun.

If it can be captured, this opening will not be a big concern. The naval base and military port on the main road of Sylvia Ocean will be built on the Nancun seaside. A naval barracks will be built 1 kilometer back to the Luanshan Marquis State, and another 1 kilometer further back.

Build a military port and even have enough space to build a shipyard.

In the same way, relying on these coastal military buildings, we can realize the construction of the defense system of the mainland's maritime military bases."

While eating, Qu Mao listened to the discussion of these people, glanced at Su Yan, and said: "Su Yan, you don't have to worry, fighting is nothing more than economic and combat effectiveness.

Counterattacking the Prince of Liu is still our main military task, and there will be no change in this point. There will be no change in the strength and material reserves of the Prince of Liu.

The attack on the Luanshan Kingdom is just a matter of course, and the combat forces of the Liu Kingdom will not be used. Soldiers will be completely drawn from the remaining forces of the army and garrison to form a combat force.

In terms of economics, you don’t need to think about it for the time being. There are still 10 million gold coins left in the Yizhen Territory account. If the number of gold coins is really insufficient, I can replenish it at any time."

Xuande also said: "Lord Su Yan, you don't need to worry about the two-front battle. Even if it is a ten-front battle, our Yizhen territory can sustain it in the short term.

After more than two years of accumulation, even if we mainly sell grain, the grain reserves in the Yizhen territory are still enough to feed hundreds of millions of people for more than three years. With the truce for half a month, all the military factories in Jidao have been stocking up on supplies for the counterattack against the Prince of Liu.

Production is maintained at full capacity, and strategic material reserves are sufficient."

Everyone continued the discussion for a while, and one after another dispelled Su Yan's doubts.

In the end, everyone stopped discussing and looked at Qu Mao collectively.

Qu Mao put down his bowl and chopsticks, glanced at Liu Qianhui, and asked, "Liu Qianhui, what do you think?"

Liu Qianhui rolled her eyes and said, "Grandma, what are you looking at?

We are all God's Chosen players. We don't want to grab the territory we have. Are we out of our minds?

The Luanshan Hou Kingdom must be captured, and the territory is neither too big nor too small. After it is captured, it will cooperate with the Liuwang Principality, and the defensive pressure will be reduced. More importantly, the Luan Shan Hou Kingdom's military strength is not strong, and the cost of defeating it is very low.

What else do you need me to see? Just take it! Take it quickly!"

Qu Mao nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, I agree with that.

It would be best if other heroes of the army bring all the army soldiers with them, and Zhang Da supports about 300,000 second-level and third-level soldiers, or even the navy dispatches 500,000 soldiers for the land battle.

Send more than one million troops and work hard to capture the Luanshan Kingdom within seven days."

Su Yan said: "Sir, if you say so, my subordinates don't have to worry about fighting on two fronts.

If you, my lord, hope to capture the Luanshan Kingdom in seven days, I think it is okay for the expeditionary force to temporarily allocate troops to support the Luanshan Kingdom. After all, it will take more than a week for the 1.4 million army to be deployed in the Liuwang Principality.

My subordinates think it is unnecessary to switch from the navy to the army. After all, with such a switch, the navy's attribute bonus will be gone."

Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "The expeditionary force will continue to follow the established plan.

However, Army heroes may need to be adjusted.

Xinping, inform Zhao Pan, Chai Feideer, Wang Ping, Sir Mulak, Hua Tielan, Zhang Da and other army heroes to hold a preparatory meeting for the use of troops against the Luanshan Kingdom here at 4 p.m.

Don’t leave either, let’s continue the meeting together in the afternoon.”

"Yes, sir!" the heroes present shouted together.
Chapter completed!
