Chapter 300 Northern Xinjiang in July

In the late July, the only good news from all sides was that the rebellion and rebellion were achieved in Taiyuan and Yanmen. According to reports, the rebels in Yanzhao were defeated repeatedly and could not resist the attacks of the imperial army. They had abandoned their armor and fled to Taihang.

With the Civil War beginning, the Yan and Zhao rebels retreated to Taihang, allowing the emperor and the central government to concentrate on their generation. All the military forces of Jin fought against foreign countries, avoiding the empire's army being deeply trapped in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. This is a good omen. The emperor and the central government were very happy and immediately ordered the rebels to return to Taiyuan and Yanmen to rest and standby.

The emperor strengthened his determination to fight to the decisive battle and completely gave up the idea of ​​evacuating northern borders.

He urgently summoned Wang Bian and told him to do two things well. First, Xue Shixiong must lead the main army of Northeastern Road to join the decisive battle.

The strategy of "tempting the enemy into deep" proposed by the central government coincides with the strategy of "retreat as advance" offered by Wang Rengong. At present, the Northern Barbarian army has crossed Yinshan, and Wang Rengong will symbolically resist on the front line of the Great Wall for a while and then retreat south. If nothing unexpected happens, the Northern Barbarians will quickly enter the Great Wall and march straight into the Great Wall. Thousands of troops roar down, from the Desert to Jin, killing Yanmen and Taiyuan directly. The emperor will command Dai, and the Jin garrison army will defend Yanmen to death, dragging the main force of the Northern Barbarians in Dai, Jin hinterland, and gaining enough time for Jialan and his Yanbei army to cut off the Beigu retreat route.

However, when Jialan and Yan Beijun cut off the Beilu retreat route, the empire's plan to encircle and annihilate the Beilu. By then, Jialan and Yan Beijun will definitely be trapped in the attack of all Beilu troops inside and outside the Great Wall on the front line of the Great Wall, and the situation is extremely critical.

Based on this prediction of the decisive battle between the north and the south, the emperor believed that Jia Lan had limited troops. Even if the surprise attack strategy worked, it would not be able to give the Northern Lu army a fatal blow. At most, it would be to trap the main force of the Northern Lu army south of the Great Wall. The Northern Lu beasts still fought and vowed to break through the siege. It can be expected that with the help of time, the Jin Zhen garrison army and the Yan Bei army could not "eat" the Northern Lu army at all and could not achieve the goal of this battle.

Therefore, according to the development of the war, the emperor believed that he had enough reason to convince the center to mobilize the main force of the Northeast Dao Town Army to quickly enter the Daibei battlefield. At this critical moment, even if the situation in Liaodong and Far East was not conducive to the Empire, the Empire could not take care of it. He could only do all his strength to repel the invading Beilu first to ensure the safety of Daijin and even the two capitals.

Before the Northern Gate invasion, many commanders and generals of the imperial military did not believe that the Northern Gate would invade, nor did they support the emperor to launch the Northern Gate after the Eastern Expedition. Therefore, they have always disobeyed the emperor's edicts and even openly disobeyed them. Now the facts are all there, and the development of the situation in the north and south are correct. What's more serious is that the emperor is now fighting against the Northern Gate on the front line of the northern border. If the generals who stayed in the two capitals or other safe places no longer support the emperor and do their best to help the emperor fight against the Northern Gate, it would be purely a death sentence.

There are many factions in the Northeast Dao Town Guard Army, and the generals have their own interests. Few people openly support the emperor in launching the Civil War. Therefore, when some troops were drawn into Yanbei in the early stage, Xue Shixiong deliberately concealed the truth. Now the truth is revealed. In the emperor's opinion, the Civil War is above everything else, and the interests of the empire are supreme. There is no reason for the generals of the Northeast Dao Town Guard Army to avoid participating in the Civil War. Xue Shixiong should be able to successfully assemble the main force of the Northeast Dao Town Guard Army to rush to the Daibei battlefield in the shortest time, so as to reverse the disadvantage in terms of military strength and join forces with Yanbei Army to give a fatal blow to the Northern Barbarians. Only in this way can we help the emperor and the center build great martial arts and reverse the current crisis of domestic and external troubles in the empire.

Secondly, Wang Bian must vigorously suppress the rebellion in Hebei. While ensuring smooth water and land transportation in Hebei, he will carry out a clearance on the front line of the North Taihang with the main force. Ensure that at the most intense moment of the Civil War, the Yan and Zhao rebels were dragged to the North Taihang. Ensure that the imperial army would not be in the Democratic Republic and Jin was in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

Both of these things are very difficult to deal with. Although the emperor spoke easily, with sufficient reasons and unquestionable reasons, deep concerns were revealed between the lines. The first thing he was worried about was whether Xue Shixiong could persuade Li Jing, Yang Gongren, Luo Yi and other Northeast Dao Town Governors and generals to ignore the situation in Liaodong and Far East and do his best to participate in the Civil War. Not to mention the vast territory of the Northeast, the heavy task of the Town Governors, and the difficulty of the army mobilizing, just by taking the complex contradictions within the Northeast Town Governors and the fierce conflicts of interest between local forces in the Northeast, and various tribes, Xue Shixiong could not straighten out and take into account all aspects of relations, and could not win consensus in military and political affairs. In fact, it would be good that he could influence his authority to the entire Youzhou area. As for western Liaoning, Liaodong and even the Far East, it was simply out of reach and powerless.

Wang Bian's situation is more difficult than Xue Shixiong. Wang Bian's town guards Gaoyang, and the areas involved include Shanggu, Hejian, Boling, Hengshan and other northern counties in Hebei. In this area, there are two of the five major families in Shandong, namely the Cui family of Boling and the Lu family of Fanyang. Other second and third-rate families and local tyrants are everywhere. In addition, the Zhaojun Li family in central Hebei, the Liu family of Jicheng, and other families of nobles also have great influence in northern Hebei. Nowadays, rebellions in Hebei have been repeatedly suppressing unfairly, and the reasons are very complicated, but everyone knows one thing. The biggest driving force behind the chaos in Hebei is these noble families.

Wang Bian's every move in Gaoyang was monitored and constrained by the wishes of these aristocratic families. If Wang Bian wants to achieve results in suppressing the rebellion, he must win the support of these aristocratic families. This can be calculated that it is difficult for Wang Bian to eliminate the rebels in Yanzhao.

After the Northern War invasion, no one could tell whether the Yanzhao rebels quickly retreated to Taihang Mountain. Whether this was the period, the Jinzhen garrison army was powerful in suppressing the rebellion, or whether the Yanzhao rebels had their own interests, or the negotiation envoy sent by Jialan to Taihang Mountain played a role, it was hard to tell, which left a terrifying hidden danger. Once the Civil War was the most intense, the Yanzhao rebels again rushed to Yanmen and Taiyuan, and attacked the imperial army with the Northern War, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wang Bian said nothing, firmly and made a guarantee and promise to the emperor with a very firm attitude. He would return to Gaoyang, Hebei as quickly as possible, and visit the Cui family in Boling and Lu family in Fanyang on the way, and make compromises to the Shandong family to the greatest extent. He would restrain the Yanzhao rebels on the Taihang line at all costs to ensure the smooth progress of the decisive battle between the north and the south.

The emperor was very happy and was very pleased that Wang Bian was able to be loyal to himself at a critical moment and fulfill his mission entrusted with fire and water. He loved the house and the Wu, and at this moment his confidence in Xue Shixiong was greatly increased. Considering the importance of the decisive victory to himself and the future of the empire, he condescended to the nobles and wrote a letter to Xue Shixiong, which deeply revealed his trust and expectations for Xue Shixiong. He urgently needed the victory of this decisive battle. The same is true for the empire. If this decisive battle ended in failure, even if the emperor and the central government worked hard, worked hard, and tried their best, they could not explain to the nobles and civilians of the empire; even if they were full of grievances and tears and were heartbroken. God would never give them another chance to reverse because of sympathy and pity.

In his letter, the emperor bluntly told that more than 300,000 warriors in the empire died heroically during the Western Expedition and Eastern Expedition. The significance of their life lies in protecting the security of the empire and maintaining the unity of Middle-earth. It is in the fact that the empire must achieve the victory of the decisive battle with the Northern Lu for the Great Wall. Only in this way can we comfort more than 300,000 empire heroes and realize the ideal of these heroes fighting bloody battles during their lifetime.

In the late July, on the front line of the Great Wall in Yanbei, the imperial army dispatched troops at the north and south foothills of Baishan. It was as powerful as a rainbow and murderous intent.

The tribes of the northern desert and southern part of the desert also quickly completed the assembly and were ready for battle.

The armies of both sides were tense and were about to break out.

At the same time, under the mediation of Asina Tiech, the son of Dayehu, Chijishi Asuna Duna, Chijishi, always maintained contact with the Yanbei Headquarters. The envoys of the two sides rushed back and forth, and the depth and breadth of the negotiation content also expanded rapidly.

In the empire, we must spare no effort to split the tent. Weak Shibi Khan's strength and increase the empire's chances of winning in the decisive battle between the north and the south. To this end, we must not only actively establish a marriage with Chi Ji, but also try every means to push him into the conservative tent led by Princess Kehe Dunyicheng, and then make it called Khan in the south. We will complete the strategy of splitting and weakening the northern desert captives.

As for the conservative forces of the treasure, Princess He Dunyicheng and Dayehu Ashinalulang could only form an alliance with the conservative and intermediate forces in the desert to the greatest extent, so that once the war was defeated, the treasures would still have the strength to control the northern desert and the "capital" to counterattack and negotiate peace. They could also retain the vitality of making a comeback.

Chijishe Asuna Duna was pessimistic about the Civil War launched by Shibi Khan. In addition, with the recent series of counter-espionage plans of the Empire, he had no choice but to form an alliance with Princess Korha Dunyicheng and Oyehu. After the establishment of this alliance, Chijishe's idea changed accordingly. He had a strong interest and desire for the Khan dispute that would inevitably occur after the defeat of the Yatank. For this reason, his desire to marry the Empire and win the support of the Empire on this basis expanded infinitely.

At this moment, Chi Jishe suddenly learned through the few remaining secret channels that Xue Shixiong, the supreme commander of the Northeast Dao Town Garage Army of the Empire, not only sent a large amount of food and grass weapons stored in Zhuo County to Yanbei in the early stage, but also drew a large number of troops from Youzhou, Liaoxi and Liaodong to enter Yanbei. According to unconfirmed information, there are at least 30,000 to 50,000 troops in Yanbei, and its target may be Shibi Khan and his invading army. However, once the Yanbei army joins the north-south decisive battlefield, what should Yanbei defend? Once Yanbei is lost, the entire flank of the decisive battlefield will be completely exposed to the attack of the Northern Barbarian Army. Therefore, from the perspective of the north-south decisive battle, the Yanbei Army's target should not be Shibi Khan, but Chi Jishe and his army.

It can be predicted that as long as the imperial army defeated Chijishe and defeated his army, it would be equivalent to destroying the entire flank of the Northern Lu army. Then the imperial army could kill directly behind the Northern Lu army and give Shibi Khan a fatal blow. When Shibi Khan was defeated, the Northern Lu army was severely damaged, the tent would inevitably be in chaos, and various tribes would also be in chaos. The desert would definitely be revived, and heroes would compete for hegemony. In this way, the empire achieved its strategic goals without damaging the national dignity or losing a royal princess.

Chijishi felt the crisis of life and death. While actively promoting the negotiation progress, he actively prepared for the war, and the focus of preparation was defense. Although he did not intend to help Shibi Khan invade Middle-earth, he did not want to suffer a disaster and made unnecessary sacrifices for Shibi Khan's wrong strategy.
