"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 996
The Independent Third Banner Regiment, commanded by Du Xiaoniu, fought fiercely with the heavily encircled Imperial Guard troops in the mountains of Shuangshuifu.
The Qinghe army has few troops, and they are as agile as apes when crossing mountains and mountains. Although the imperial guards have a large number of troops, they are good at fighting in large groups, and they really can't use them in mountainous areas.
Liu Yan originally wanted to solve these Qinghe troops in a short time, and then continue to move forward.
However, he underestimated the difficulty of the suppression. Du Xiaoniu and the others had been active behind the enemy for so long. If they were so easy to be suppressed, they would have been defeated and killed long ago, and they would not have survived to this day.
The imperial guards are good at fighting in groups of large corps, and fighting in this ravine and dense forest is their shortcoming.
However, they used their own strengths to attack their own strengths. Instead of solving Du Mavericks and the others in a short time, they were dragged back.
When Liu Yan's imperial guards were caught in a dilemma, the Qinghe army's field troops quickly carried out actual occupation of the prefectures and counties with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
Following the destruction of the mighty army in Luyang Province, the defenders in various places were weak and vulnerable, and most of the areas quickly fell into the hands of the Qinghe army.
"Send an additional 100,000 troops to the front line of Hezhong Province to strengthen the defense in the direction of Luyang Province."
"Order the hidden shadow guards to act immediately, create chaos in the area controlled by the bandits, and spread rumors to contain the bandits."
In the rebel base camp in Pingyang Province, the rebel emperor Long Tian learned that the Mighty Army was destroyed and King Ning was beheaded, and his expression became serious.
Originally Long Tian wanted to let the Qinghe Army, the Mighty Army and the imperial court's army fight each other, so that they could take advantage of it.
However, what he never expected was that the Qinghe army was so powerful that it defeated the mighty army in a short period of time.
With the mighty army being quickly wiped out, it was difficult for the imperial army alone to stop the sharp front of the Qinghe army.
Although the rebels and the imperial court did not deal with it, Long Tian also realized that the growth rate of the Qinghe Army was too astonishing, and it had already posed a great threat to them.
Precisely because of this, Long Tian also increased his vigilance and attention to the Qinghe Army, feeling that it was a bigger threat than the imperial court.
Therefore, when the Qinghe Army and the imperial court were at war in Luyang Province, he had no choice but to restrain the Qinghe Army at this time, preparing to secretly help the imperial court's army.
The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the imperial court is defeated quickly, once the Qinghe Army completely controls the Luyang Province, it is very likely that they will quickly go north to the Hezhong Province.
However, Long Tian did not dare to blatantly send troops into Luyang Province to fight against the Qinghe Army, because he was asking for trouble.
Therefore, he sent an additional 100,000 troops to the border to restrain many Qinghe troops, and his shadow guards created chaos, which could also divert the Qinghe army's attention.
The movement of the rebel army naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Qinghe Army. The Military Intelligence Department and the Civil Affairs Department under the Qinghe Army Intelligence Investigation Institute immediately put the obtained information on Chen Ziang's desk.
"It seems that the rebels also feel threatened by us."
When he saw that the rebel army sent an additional 100,000 troops to the Hezhong Province and was about to deploy it in the direction of Luyang Province, Chen Ziang was not surprised.
He had already made a rough prediction of the situation before, and he also expected the behavior of the rebels this time.
In order to relieve their own pressure, Chen Ziang and the others have selected a group of envoys to various countries with heavy gifts to carry out the strategy of long-distance diplomatic relations and short-term attack.
"As we occupy Luyang Province, our strength will further increase, which will definitely attract the attention of all parties."
"Now we can't even keep a low profile, because our strength is no longer allowed."
Chief of Staff Li Qiye also saw the information sent back by the Intelligence Research Institute, and couldn't help but smile wryly, because the actions of the rebels were almost exactly the same as their previous expectations.
Although the rebels did not actually send troops to Luyang Province, their army was suppressed in the border area, and the Qinghe Army had to send heavy troops to monitor it.
"It is not enough for us to rely on external forces to contain the court and the rebels. We need to take the initiative to attack."
Although the Qinghe army has grown into a colossus, once the rebels and the court join hands to deal with them, it will be enough for them to drink a pot.
Although this possibility is very small, it is not impossible for the rebels to come from the same line as the imperial court.
?The envoys sent by Ziang and the others went to seek external allies and help, but this kind of thing has great uncertainty.
Because in the face of absolute interests, many things can be changed, so Chen Ziang felt that they could not sit still.
"Marshal, what do you mean?"
Chief of Staff Li Qiye didn't understand what Chen Ziang meant for a while, and didn't know how he wanted to take the initiative. "
Chen Zi'ang strode to the huge map hanging in the war hall of the Commander's Mansion, picked up the baton and moved northward to the Baishan Province to the north of Pingyang Province.
"We can send a troop here." Chen Ziang said.
"ah?"
Seeing that Chen Ziang was going to send an army all the way to Baishan Province, Li Qiye didn't turn his head for a moment.
"Marshal, Baishan Province is so far away from us, what are we sending troops there for?"
"Sending an army to Baishan Province to gain a firm foothold is like a knife inserted into the enemy's rear."
"If the rebels want to deal with us in the future, our people can restrain them from behind." Chen Ziang explained.
"Marshal, but it is a long way to go to Baishan Province, and there are not only a large number of rebels there, but also wolf riding activities. It is too difficult for us to send troops there."
Chief of Staff Li Qiye is very familiar with the situation in various places. Even if you start from Luyang Province, you have to go through the whole of Hezhong Province and Pingyang Province to reach Baishan Province.
If you don't take this road and bypass Lancang Province from the river, it will be even more distant.
It is not easy for an army to cross the enemy's territory thousands of miles away, let alone gain a foothold in areas heavily defended by the enemy.
In the opinion of Chief of Staff Li Qiye, Chen Zi'ang's idea is simply too risky, if not done, the entire army will be wiped out.
"Commander, the Rebel Alliance has a lot of troops in the surrounding areas. Why don't they concentrate in Baishan Province and occupy some areas, and they can also form a check on the enemy's rear." Li Qiye also put forward his own suggestion.
However, Chen Ziang shook his head: "The good and bad troops of the rebel army are mixed, and the composition of them is quite complicated. They don't agree with each other. If they gather together, there may be internal strife."
"And their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they are a mob when gathered together, unable to complete the task of containing the enemy."
In fact, another reason for Chen Ziang was that he didn't trust those rebel troops.
Just let them stay in the provinces to contain the local enemies. If they are gathered together, they may be wiped out if they are used by those who want to.
However, it is different to photograph the elite troops of the Qinghe Army. They are not a mob, but a sharp knife, and the threat is even greater.
