At the frontline camp, the royal guard of honor was here. Half of winter had passed, and the war had not yet begun. The rear was still anxious. So after the four frontline generals Li, Ning, Xue, and Wu reported an important military information, Wang Jia couldn't wait.
Arriving at the front line... Although the body of a rich man is noble, no minister dared to stop him with ill-informed advice after an emergency.
As soon as he entered the main tent, Prince Qing consciously sat down in the commander's seat. He glanced at the crowd of talented people in the hall, ignored the pleasantries, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure the Han fleet is leaving?"
The generals looked at each other, and the middle-aged general with a serious face reported back: "The eight ships all left last night. Although they left invisibly and secretly, the real person on duty at night sensed the eight ships through the magic circle and headed east."
Eight ships?
Prince Qing hesitated for a moment. He actually found out that the Han State had a transport fleet. It had no weapons and was purely used as human shields for the battleships. However, the number was still a bit beyond his expectation. Could it be that Ye Qing had dismantled the entire fleet?
Half of them were transferred over to conquer the Eastern Wasteland?
Is it possible that all the achievements of the fleet in Middle-earth are no longer needed?
By the way... did Ning Juan say eight or nine ships last time?
"What do you think?" Prince Qing is very good at learning. He wanted to listen to more opinions this time, and his eyes were naturally on the four frontline generals - intelligence is what they report, and they have to analyze it themselves.
General Li pondered and said: "The general believes that Han will be the main force to attack the city-states in eastern Xinjiang, but we have not yet received any further information from the eastern outposts, so we need to beware of fraud."
The three generals all nodded: "Ye Qing, the Duke of Han, has always been cunning and cunning, so be prepared to kill him."
"Oh...that makes sense."
Prince Qing nodded, thinking that if Ye Qing had not fallen into the war situation in Eastern Xinjiang, he would not be able to take advantage of the enemy's surprise attack like last month in Southern Xinjiang. He signaled to adjourn the meeting temporarily and wait for further military information.
"Report——Emergency Military Information in Eastern Xinjiang"
As luck would have it, the messenger rushed in and presented the message. Prince Qing glanced at it and was excited: "The war has begun in Eastern Xinjiang. General Li is here to take a look..."
The message was very short. General Li glanced at it a few times and muttered: "Thousands of miles away from the easternmost outpost, we saw nine meteors going to Eastern Xinjiang at night - we detected the outbreak of war in the city-state alliance. Although the dense forest
It is difficult to go deep and we dare not go deep, but there are many warriors and slaves from the city-state who have escaped... Is this the only sign?"
He was a little unsure, and turned to look at the magician who came in. He noticed that the magician was dressed in unique black clothes, and said, "You black-clothed guards haven't directly planted spies in the Eastern Xinjiang city-state?"
"This..." The black-clothed guard magician turned to look at Prince Qing. Seeing him nodding, he said: "According to the information at the beginning of the year, it is said that there are three Eastern Xinjiang city-state alliances, almost distributed in the three states, and we
It is not easy for foreigners to hide from the Aragami. An infiltration requires a lot of resources. Three spies turned into a caravan and the infiltration was successful, but they lost contact at the beginning of this summer. The last news came that the city-state coalition forces were purging the interior.
In preparation for war, it may be cleared..."
A young general named Xue asked coldly: "Who was purged?"
"General Xue suspects that it is Ye Qing, Duke of Han?"
The black-clothed warlock was dissatisfied that some of his professional skills were underestimated, but he could not resist the questioning of a general and said calmly: "We analyzed it when we lost contact half a year ago, and the mutual war between alien city-states was hindered by miasma.
Yes, the environment at that time was different from that in southern Xinjiang last month, and it was impossible for Ye Qing to take advantage of it...
All the ministers looked at each other and nodded.
The Eastern Wasteland is under the influence of the Qingmai Celestial Secret. For four years, Ye Qing has strictly implemented the mainland blockade policy, not only using the usual magnetic shielding methods of the Xinpan Yuan, but also very strict inspections. All soldiers and civilians except the direct crew members are not allowed to enter.
out, and new immigrants need to go through a three-month transitional review in a concentration camp, so there is no way to spread useful information.
Central-Earth's intelligence on the Eastern Wilderness has lagged behind. Fortunately, the Cai Dynasty colonial area is on the same continent. It can also speculate on Ye Qing's movements and progress through some reactions of nearby foreign city-states. The black guards have sacrificed a lot in this regard.
Manpower is available, but the slow spread of information among primitive city-states causes the intelligence to lag for half a year. There is nothing we can do about it.
"According to the confirmed information of His Highness the Crown Prince, a new immortal appeared in Han Dynasty last month, and he took advantage of the foreign city-states to fight with us to pick fruits. The raid on southern Xinjiang was so fast..."
"But the fighting should be at the original level. Judging from Ye Qing's advancing speed in the past few years, his advancing speed from west to east should have just passed the Fantasy Forest. Traces of his fleet were found along the northern coast and even along the eastern coast. Judging from the route, the coast has been established
Some scattered strongholds are harassed and bloodletted, but the city-state alliance of the three states in Eastern Xinjiang cannot be wiped out overnight with such a strong and massive enemy."
A civil servant made such a firm conclusion. He had obviously never heard of the first five-year plan of the Han Dynasty's Eastern Border. He didn't know that this year happened to be in the explosion stage of the production cycle, and most of the Eastern Xinjiang had been bulldozed long ago - half a year behind.
Intelligence is of some value to war in an agricultural society, but it is completely useless to war.
The black-clothed guard magician was actually feeling uneasy. He glanced at the cold face of the prince above, and to highlight the black-clothed guard's achievements, he said loudly: "This time we interrogated a fugitive god-born general who had a mental breakdown. He only said repeatedly
Talking about the death of gods...the city of Seoul."
"It seems...it should be Ye Qing who takes action this time."
The four generals pondered. On the one hand, they felt uneasy. On the other hand, they were accustomed to traditional habits. They were thinking about further reducing risks. The generals who had other ideas immediately jumped out: "Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity."
Prince Qing had a cold face this time and remained silent. He only turned over and over the past information presented by the black-clothed guard.
Master Lingqian was also watching carefully and analyzed: "Eastern Xinjiang is the land of three states. Even if a new immortal is added, it should be able to withstand some time. It will take three months to clean them one by one. However, the Han Dynasty conquered the east.
When we return to school next spring, we will be passive."
"The Duke of Han, Ye Qing, is too arrogant and thinks that we dare not make the Northern Expedition... You need to know that Tu De also has a lot of experience." This is an impassioned minister.
"Taking advantage of the lack of troops in southern Xinjiang to attack... the Han Kingdom will be trapped in front and behind and be attacked by enemies." This is to lure it to gain.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly." This is a smart reminder.
The ministers said something to each other, some were flattering, some were nervous, some were moved emotionally, and some were rational. The minds of the ministers were naturally different, but no matter whether they were the militant faction or the defensive faction in the past, they were all different at this time.
They all unanimously called for the Northern Expedition... If we really don't fight, we will have no chance.
Prince Qing has grown rapidly this year, but he still lacks experience in such a big scene, and he was very excited for a while.
But the emperor's legitimate son, the prince with a hint of purple energy in his body, suddenly woke up at this moment, as if the mist of fate suddenly opened a crack of spiritual light. He glanced at the venue full of men, and there was a beautiful figure missing. Wen Jia
Master Yang: "Where is that woman? I'm already here, but I haven't seen her come over to greet her. What information have you responded to?"
Princess Ning?
Master Jiayang woke up and did not dare to hide anything: "There is no response yet, or he is hiding in the water house."
"This woman... just can't be counted on."
Prince Qing's face twitched, and he once again had some doubts about whether the woman had joined Ye Qing's camp, because even the entire Xiangzhou belonged to the Han Kingdom... But he couldn't express the shameful thing in front of others, so he suppressed his anger and looked at him carefully.
The four generals who said nothing said: "What do you think?"
The four generals looked at each other with some helplessness and nodded: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The Northern Expedition is imperative and should be done quickly. We only need to march forward but also be prepared for surprise attacks by enemy ships - we cannot underestimate the Han Dynasty. The fleet is very fast.
Maybe Ye Qing just wants to come back for help at any time."
The Prince of Qing County nodded slightly and stood up coldly: "Without further delay, prepare to leave today. This time I want to conquer in person."
The commander gave an order, and the three armies were mobilized. After all levels were assigned, the whole camp became excited. At noon that day, 40,000 troops were sent out one after another, marching directly along the dry river beaches on both sides of the Muping River. The banners of the armored cavalry swept northward, heading straight to
Refers to the nearest Xiatan City.
Xiatan City
The Muping River has nine streams and twelve shoals, which in the language of foreign city-states are rapids with a large drop. These shoals are large impact plains with gentle river flow. The land is fertile and suitable for farming. Except for the delta area at the downstream estuary, it has long been abandoned.
The Cai Dynasty found that every beach above it was occupied by a foreign city-state. The lower beach was located at the junction of the middle reaches and the lower reaches. It was the last city-state closest to the Cai Dynasty... At this time, it returned to the Han Dynasty.
The midday sun shines on the crenellations of the city wall, and the bloodstains have faded into mottled black. The general is surrounded by a man, patrolling the city wall.
There was a large stretch of tents outside the city, and gray mushrooms grew on the pure white snow. The smoke from the cooking pots gradually faded over the camp, and the aroma of the food came. At this moment, a beam of light fell into the camp, and soon there was a trick.
The division submitted information: "Lord, the Cai Dynasty's colonial army has moved northward, and it is hundreds of miles away."
"It's really here."
Ye Qing shook his head and handed the information roll to a big man in green robe and red face behind him: "Yun Chang, your idea is good."
Guan Yu looked at it and passed it on to his colleagues on the left and right, stroking his beard and smiling: "It's true to lure the snake out of its hole and transfer nine transport ships to Eastern Xinjiang. It's a pity that the enemy doesn't know that the war in Eastern Xinjiang has ended, and our ships only carry prisoners and supplies."
, not a single soldier was taken away... This is thanks to His Majesty's blockade, which delayed the enemy's intelligence."
Ye Qing smiled, knowing that it was useless to just block the world of immortality in the mortal world. This was mostly due to the work of the high-level immortals in his lineage, or the emperor secretly took action to disrupt the heavenly secrets. Even Bie De knew it, but there was no need to clear the prince.
Breaking the rules - there is no need to talk about these below.
After reading the enemy situation, the generals were a little eager to try. Ye Qing looked at him with burning eyes: "Lord, let's start the war."
"Child Cai Anyu, we haven't beaten him yet. He dares to provoke us on the border."
"But this is a great kindness. We did not attack, but they took the initiative to provoke. The excuse is in our hands."
"To attack them head-on? To ambush them?"
"The Cai Dynasty's colonial army only has 40,000, and we have 60,000. No matter how we fight, we will win..."
