After coming out of the secret base, Gao Shaoyi arranged some other things. Whether it was the army in Beijing or Haicheng, the oil used by the army had to be shipped out from here for the time being, and Gao Shaoyi would not touch this machine. After all, it will be done next week.
It can be exchanged again, and Gao Shaoyi should be in Haicheng by then.
This machine will be fully supplied to Beijing in the future.
There must be at least two machines in Haicheng.
One should also be placed on the Daliao Peninsula.
Finally, there is the grassland to the north. It will probably take a few weeks to complete this circle.
In the next few days, Gao Shaoyi either spent time with his wife in the city, or went to the military camp outside the city to watch the recruitment work. In short, these two days were very pleasant.
If it hadn't been for the urgent report from the imperial court, I'm afraid Gao Shaoyi would have rested for a few more days. Rouwen Township was indeed very comfortable, and everyone including Gao Shaoyi was a little lost.
The imperial court has received definite news. Within half a month, the princes of the Xiongnu grassland will declare their independence to the world and prepare to establish the Great Xiongnu Kingdom.
In addition to the Xiongnu grassland, there are also more than 20 counties in the south of the Xiongnu grassland, which are currently occupied by their troops.
The more than 40,000 troops of the imperial court on the grassland have all been surrounded by the Xiongnu army. They can be said to be in danger at present. Although they have not surrendered yet, according to the predictions of the imperial court, they will not be able to hold on for long, and their supplies are usually withheld.
Pin, now that we are surrounded, we have even less fighting spirit.
After receiving the order, Gao Shaoyi had to say goodbye to his family and then got on the train to Haicheng.
Gao Shaoyi originally thought about taking his young wife to Haicheng, but who knew that the situation in the north had deteriorated so drastically. Gao Shaoyi instinctively knew that there must be a traitor in the court, otherwise the news should not spread.
Of course, if there were capable people in the Rakshasa Kingdom, after Gao Shaoyi became the Huns general, they would know that this matter would be difficult to handle, so it would be possible to act in advance.
"Oh, the boss is back early?"
At Haicheng Railway Station, Gao Shaoyi met Li Hongtang, who was visiting the south. Li Hongtang also looked sad. According to the regulations of the imperial court, during the period when Gao Shaoyi left Haicheng, Li Hongtang temporarily acted as governor of Zhili.
"My Lord Marquis, please stop messing around here. Things in the north are already imminent. The imperial court issued three imperial edicts a day. You just set out from the capital. The imperial edicts came faster than you, urging the suppressing army to speed up their march north.
.”
Gao Shaoyi came from the capital, so he naturally knew what was going on there. It was already in chaos. According to the court's estimation, there would still be at least a month. How could they attack so quickly? When the Huns
When the kingdom's army occupied the southern county, some people in the court even proposed moving the capital.
The army of the Xiongnu Kingdom is not scary. What is scary is the Rakshasa Kingdom army behind them. If the Rakshasa Kingdom army crosses the grassland, the peak of its troops will be directed towards the capital.
"Don't worry, Sir, the mountain man has his own clever plan. Come and see in front of the map."
Seeing Gao Shaoyi's relaxed look, Li Hongtang was really angry. More than 40 counties were thrown away at the drop of a hat. These Huns princes were not good people either. It was said that they burned, killed and looted the local area without any sympathy at all.
"Sir, you should know that most of the Huns' cavalry are light cavalry. If they continue to plunder, they will move very fast. It is not an exaggeration to say that they can travel three hundred miles a day, but if they encounter the heavily defended Great Wall , I’m afraid they won’t be able to get through it, and it will also expose their shortcomings, which is that their logistics can’t keep up.”
Since the Rakshasa Kingdom caused trouble in the Xiongnu grassland, the imperial court has strengthened the defense of the Great Wall. There are more than 300,000 troops on the entire Great Wall defense line. Although all of them are old-fashioned muskets, with the help of the Great Wall's geographical location, the Huns cavalry It's not that easy to kill him.
"What we have to do is to recover the Xiongnu grassland, not to resist their attack. These Xiongnu princes are mentally ill. Do they really think that they are the masters of this Xiongnu kingdom? The Rakshasa people are so ambitious that as long as they drive us out of the grassland, they will Sooner or later these princes will be puppets."
Li Hongtang was also very angry. The Xiongnu grassland covers a large area, up to two million square kilometers. If this area is lost, the territory of the Daqian Dynasty will be even less.
"Sir, you should know that the Huns are all on horseback. Although my soldiers are in carriages, they can't catch up with them at all. Only by letting them all gather can I have a chance to defeat their main force."
After hearing Gao Shaoyi's words, Li Hongtang's eyes began to brighten. It turned out that this kid was not in a hurry, but had tactical needs.
It is true that although the combat effectiveness of the suppressing army is strong, the number of cavalry is not large. They are all infantry. If these people were to run around on the grassland, they might be able to drag Gao Shaoyi and others to death.
Xuanning Mansion...
The most important town on the Great Wall.
Gao Shaoyi pointed at this place with his finger, and there were several arrows around it, indicating that the Huns cavalry had begun to gather towards Xuanning Mansion.
"You want to destroy these Huns cavalry?"
When things came to a close, Li Hongtang became a little soft-hearted. Although these people had rebelled, they had been Daqian citizens for more than two hundred years.
"There is no use in keeping unfed wolves. Since they dare to rebel this time, since they dare to collude with the Rakshasa people, then I have to give them a thought, but please rest assured, I am not a bloodthirsty person. I will only find some of the leaders. As for those below, they can be spared the death penalty but cannot escape the punishment of living."
Gao Shaoyi has never been a saint. You have already charged at me with a knife. If I still keep you, I am simply seeking death on my own. I will kill whoever deserves to be killed and punish who deserves to be punished.
It is strange to say that Gao Shaoyi's army is still more than a thousand kilometers away from the Xiongnu grassland, but Gao Shaoyi spoke as if he had already won the battle.
The most terrible thing is that the people around him are nodding frequently, as if what Gao Shaoyi said will be realized soon.
Gao Shaoyi looked further north on the map. His enemies were definitely not these Huns cavalry. No matter how arrogant they were, they were just a pile of cannon fodder. Their combat power could not bring any harm to the suppressing army. , it's just a temporary trouble at most. The real enemy is the Rakshasa Musketeers further north.
Of course, the Huns cavalry haven't assembled yet, and they have to make arrangements for Haicheng before leaving...
