    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 972

    Zhao Hong, the captain of the personal guard, sent the battle report from the front line of Luyang, and Chen Ziang also immediately ended his inspection of Yunxi Medical College and returned to the headquarters.

    "I didn't expect that the imperial court would also want Luyang Province to take a share of the pie."

    ? Li Lang, the commander-in-chief of the front line, reported that the court of the Far East Dynasty had decided to send General Liu Yan of the Imperial Guard Army as the commander-in-chief, and sent troops into Luyang Province to assist the mighty army.

    "Prince Ning monopolizes Luyang Province, and listens to the instructions but not the announcement. It is estimated that the imperial court wants to take back Luyang Province." Li Qiye, chief of military affairs, analyzed.

    Ever since King Ning, whose palace was in Hezhong Province, annexed Luyang Province in the name of clearing up the bandit army, the royal court in the capital lost control of Luyang Province.

    Although the royal court sent Qi Yifan, the nominal governor of Luyang Province, the bare-handed commander could not control Luyang Province at all.

    In the end, in order to save his life, the Governor of Luyang Province even directly voted under the command of King Ning.

    The imperial court in the royal capital is busy competing with the rebels for the world. Facing the neutral King Ning, they can only put it aside for the time being, and plan to deal with the rebels before going back to deal with King Ning.

    It's just that before the imperial court defeated the rebels and turned back to deal with King Ning, the Qinghe army aggressively attacked Luyang Province.

    Facing the request of King Ning of Luyang Province for help, the royal court decided to send troops to take back here after careful consideration.

    "I think that even if the imperial court sends troops, it will not fight us immediately, but will sit on the sidelines and wait for us to destroy Queen Ning before we can act."

    Chief of Military Affairs Li Qiye also serves as the chief of staff, so he naturally knows the grievances and grievances between King Ning and the court.

    So after learning that the imperial court dispatched troops to Luyang Province, he knew that the imperial court in the royal capital was taking advantage of it.

    When they were defeated by King Ning's mighty army, they could act as the fisherman.

    "They actually want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, it depends on whether they have the ability."

    The royal capital and the imperial court belonged to camels. Even though they are now torn apart, they are still bigger than horses when they are skinny, and their strength should not be underestimated.

    It's just that they are now inextricably fighting the rebels on all fronts. If they really fight them again in Luyang Province, they will fall into a two-front battle.

    Therefore, Chen Zi'ang was not afraid of going to war with the royal court at all. Their Qinghe army now had a solid rear, and they already had the strength to challenge the imperial court.

    Now that the imperial court wants to snatch Luyang Province from their mouths, Chen Zi'ang is not afraid of them.

    "Tell Li Lang that the spring offensive will continue. If the imperial court sends troops to the battlefield, beat them hard until they find their teeth everywhere. Let them know that there will be a price to pay for taking food from our Qinghe army.  .¡±

    After Chen Zi'ang and Li Qiye's comprehensive research and judgment, they felt that the current strength of the Qinghe army was enough to fight a large-scale battle with the royal court, so they also had confidence.

    Therefore, they are not afraid of large-scale battles with the royal court. As long as the court is not stupid, as long as they suffer losses, they will definitely retreat.

    As the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, Chen Ziang did not give instructions on the specific battles on the front line.

    Because he knows very well that he is far away in the base camp, and he cannot grasp the rapidly changing situation on the front line in time. If he commands remotely, it will cause delays.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang only pointed out the general direction to the frontline commander Li Lang, and how to operate it was Li Lang's business.

    Chen Ziang's reply was sent to the front line of Luyang Province at an expedited speed of 800 miles, and was soon placed on the desk of the frontline commander Li Lang.

    As the commander-in-chief of the front line, Li Lang coordinated the troops on the front line and controlled the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people. Any decision he made must be extremely cautious.

    Regarding such a major matter as whether to start a war with the royal court, he naturally has no way to decide.

    Now after receiving Chen Ziang's reply that he is not afraid to go to war, Li Lang, the frontline commander, suddenly gained confidence.

    If the royal court wants to fight, their Qinghe army will definitely give it a hard blow. If the royal court is just showing off, then they don't have to pay attention to them and continue according to the original plan.

    "Send an order to Du Xiaoniu in the western part of the province to keep an eye on the movement of the imperial court. Once the imperial army enters, he can attack freely and delay their actions."

    Li Lang, the frontline commander, quickly made a combat deployment, which was to order Du Xiaoniu to guard the west gate of Luyang Province.

    Because Luyang Province relies on?The areas controlled by the royal capital are the Hexi Province and the Hezhong Province.

    There are a large number of rebels in the province in the middle of the river confronting the imperial court. Li Lang estimates that the royal court will not easily withdraw troops from the front line.

    If they want to intervene in Luyang Province as soon as possible, they will inevitably transfer troops from Gyeonggi Province and Hexi Province, and enter from the western border area of ??Luyang Province.

    Lujiang Mansion and other places in the western part of Luyang Province were originally the areas occupied by Chen Ziang and the others.

    Although Chen Ziang's main force later went south to Jiangbei Province, Du Xiaoniu and others were still left behind in the western part of the province.

    After the Qinghe Army gained a firm foothold in Jiangbei Province, they sent generals Zhou Ting and Tang Pingping to infiltrate the central and southern parts of Luyang Province.

    Now Zhou Ting, Tang Ping and the others have helped the main force of the Qinghe Army capture Yingzui Peak, and they have moved with the main force.

    Du Xiaoniu, who stayed in the west of the province, was also actively fighting, and captured several county towns, defeated the local garrison, controlled a large area, and his strength grew to tens of thousands.

    Moreover, Du Xiaoniu has been active behind enemy lines all year round and has rich experience in combat behind enemy lines.

    Once the army of the imperial court dared to enter from the west of the province, it was bound to be hit head-on by Du Xiaoniu.

    If the army of the imperial court is transferred from the northern Hezhong province, then it will face the main force of the Qinghe army, and Li Lang is even more eager.

    Now the Qinghe Army has more than 200,000 main troops and a large number of new weapons, which are enough to defeat the enemy several times on the frontal battlefield.

    Although the imperial court wanted to send troops to intervene in Luyang Province, it would not take a day or two for the imperial army to arrive in Luyang Province.

    It will take several days at the fastest for a large army to go from assembly to departure, not to mention the time spent on the road.

    Therefore, Li Lang, the front-line commander, quickly put aside the matter of sending troops from the imperial court, but prepared to do his best to deal with the mighty army in Luyang Province first.

    "How far is the main force of the Mighty Army from the capital of Luyang Province?" Li Lang asked the combat staff.

    The combat staff pointed to the sand table in the tent and said: "According to their marching speed, they should be in this area now, and they are still five days away from the provincial capital."

    "Their speed is quite fast." Li Lang rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

    The combat staff is also full of slander, compared with the speed of their Qinghe army, it is not a little bit worse.

    ? Their Qinghe army attacked and advanced all the way. Although the defenders everywhere were about to collapse, it was still a waste of time.

    They still had to search and suppress the remnants of the enemy, dispose of supplies, and appease the people. Even so, they were still approaching the capital of Luyang Province.

    And the reinforcement troops of the Mighty Army should have received the news long ago, but they are still on the way.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
