"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1036
Chen Ziang, the commander of the Qinghe Army, personally led the mighty army to Luyang Province, which also aroused the vigilance of all parties.
After all, as the general of the Qinghe Army, Chen Ziang received extra attention on his every move.
The last time Chen Ziang dispatched was to Dongjiang Province, and that time, the Qinghe Army gathered a large army and wiped out the Southern Army in one fell swoop. Yang Hao's rebel army occupied Dongjiang Province.
And now that Chen Ziang led a large number of troops and weapons to Luyang Province, it naturally aroused many speculations.
After all, there are only two directions to use troops in the Luyang province, that is, to fight the Hexi province of the Far Eastern court or go north to fight the Hezhong province controlled by the rebels.
Chen Ziang didn't hide his actions. After entering Luyang Province, he headed for Hexi Province.
After receiving the news, the Far Eastern court made countermeasures as soon as possible while secretly complaining.
? The Far Eastern court appointed Generalissimo Hu Ziyang of the Imperial Guards as the commander in chief, and dispatched more than 200,000 troops from various fronts to Hexi.
?Because the Hexi Province is next to the Gyeonggi Province, once there is something good or bad about the Hexi Province, the Gyeonggi Province will be in danger.
The Far Eastern imperial court strengthened the defense of the Hexi Province, and also wanted to contain the war in the Hexi Province, hoping to stop the Qinghe Army here.
Hexi Province originally had the troops of General Zhengdong Liu Yan stationed there, as well as a large number of local garrison troops and provincial garrison troops.
Now that the Marshal of the Imperial Guard will command more than 200,000 troops to go there, then on the front line of Hexi Province, the Far Eastern court will gather more than 300,000 troops.
For the Far Eastern imperial court, it is not an easy task to assemble an army of 300,000 here.
This is also due to the fact that the rebel troops are now dragged to the northern Baishan Province, otherwise, they would not be able to deploy so many troops from various fronts to reinforce Hexi.
The Qinghe Army has always been extremely fast. In order to avoid another blitzkrieg by the Qinghe Army, the troops of the Far East Court also moved quickly this time.
All the troops that were dispatched to Hexi for reinforcements were required to leave within one day of receiving the dispatch order, otherwise they would be punished as delaying the military aircraft.
The prefectures and counties along the way have also received orders, that is, to prepare the camps and food for the passing army in advance, so as to ensure that the army can quickly go to Hexi for reinforcements.
The Far Eastern court is too bloated, so that everything is procrastinated.
But this time, facing the heavy pressure of the Qinghe Army, they were facing life and death, so their efficiency was also stimulated.
After receiving the military order, the hurried army set off urgently. For a while, all the roads leading to Hexi province were filled with banners and horses like clouds.
Compared with the troops of the Far Eastern court who rushed to Hexi for reinforcements, the speed of the Qinghe Army was uncharacteristically slower.
The second-line troops of the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ziang stopped and stopped all the way. When the fastest imperial reinforcements arrived at the Hexi camp, Chen Ziang was still on the way.
Luyang Province had just become the occupied area of ??the Qinghe Army. Chen Ziang led the army north this time, conducting research while marching, but he was not in a hurry.
The Qinghe Army's second-line security banner battalion also followed Chen Zi'ang's request to conduct training while marching.
They simulate subjects such as encountering an ambush on the marching road, or receiving an emergency order to capture a certain town, or emergency assembly at night.
In the past, they also went through these trainings in the training camp, but now it is an unfamiliar area, which is more difficult and closer to actual combat.
Chen Zi'ang turned this march into an actual combat drill, and also wanted the soldiers of each army to enter the wartime state in advance.
Chen Zi'ang and the others led their troops to the border area of ??Hexi Province, and the rebel base camp in Pingyang Province also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, after learning that Chen Ziang led the army into Luyang Province, the rebels were panicked.
On the one hand, their current army was dragged on various fronts fighting the imperial court, and at the same time, there was a big fight in the direction of Baishan Province.
Just as they dispatched a few corps from the Hezhong South Line to secretly go to the north to reinforce the Baishan Province, the Qinghe Army was dispatched, which undoubtedly made them feel like an enemy.
Once the Qinghe army marches northward in a large scale, it will be absolutely difficult to resist only relying on the troops on the front line in the river.
Although the brave and skilled deputy marshal Xu Yong is guarding the front line of the river, the rebels are still not satisfied.?Careless.
At that time, they will fight against the wolf cavalry on the northern front, fight against the Zhenxi Army and Imperial Guards of the Far Eastern court on the western front, and fight against the Qinghe Army on the southern front.
They will face the dilemma of fighting on the third front, and if they fail, they will collapse.
Fortunately, the Qinghe army diverted to the direction of the Hexi province, but did not go north to the river, which made the rebels fall to the ground.
The Qinghe army headed towards the Far East court, the rebels breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately showed a look of gloating.
"From the southern line, two more corps will be transferred to the north, and they must be transferred in a fair manner."
After thinking about it for a while, the rebel emperor Long Tian also made a new decision, that is to continue to draw troops from the southern line to go north.
"Your Majesty, the rebel army has always been cunning. Although they seem to be going to the Hexi Province now, if they make a sudden attack, our Hezhong Province will be in danger." The rebel Prime Minister Zuo Lu Quan immediately put forward his own opinion.
"If we are gone, the thief army will inevitably face the joint attack of the imperial court and the wolf cavalry. They will not be so stupid to fight against the two powerful forces with their own strength."
"They now need us to hold back the wolf cavalry, and then deal with the imperial court with all our strength. This is in their interest."
"We deployed our troops from Hezhong Province to go northward, that is, to tell the bandits that we will not go south to threaten their flanks in a short time, so that they can attack the court with peace of mind." Emperor Longtian said with a smile.
"What if the thieves suddenly change their minds and want to go north to attack us?" Prime Minister Zuo Lu Quan said worriedly.
Long Tian opened his mouth and replied: "If the thieves really do that, I really look down on them. At worst, we don't want to go to the river. If we shrink our troops, we can shorten the front line and concentrate our forces."
"However, this situation is not impossible. Tell Xu Yong to be vigilant, and if there is any change in the bandit army, he must report it as soon as possible."
Although Prime Minister Zuo Lu Quan felt that it was too risky, but after all, it was the order of Emperor Longtian, so he quickly drafted the order and sent it out.
On the day Chen Ziang arrived at Shuangshui Mansion in the west of Luyang Province, he received news from the Military Affairs Division of the Intelligence Investigation Institute that two more rebel soldiers from the corps had been transferred north to Baishan Province.
After hearing the news, Chen Ziang also showed a playful smile. He did not expect that his strategic intentions would be guessed by the rebel emperor Long Tian.
However, seeing his actions, it seems that he does not want to intervene in the battle between the imperial court and the Qinghe army, but wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
"Since they have moved their troops to the north, we don't want to put heavy troops on the front line of the river." Chen Ziang said with a smile after pondering.
"Send an order to Wang Cheng to leave Dong Hao's Fifth Field Banner Regiment to guard the northern part of Luyang Province and defend the direction of Hezhong. The rest of the troops will be transferred to Hexi for me to put pressure on the imperial court." (Remember this Website URL: www.hlnovel.com
