Chapter 392 Preliminary Strategy to the Western Regions

After returning to Hengshan, Lin Yifan spent a long time with his wife and son before going to the Executive Yuan to hold a post-war meeting.

"Everyone, now we have not only won the battle of Shazhou, but also the territory of Shazhou." Lin Yifan looked at the crowd with a smile, "This is something we didn't expect before, so after receiving In Shazhou, it seemed rushed. Fortunately, thanks to your efforts, personnel and materials arrived in Shazhou very smoothly, allowing the people of Shazhou to survive. Here, on behalf of the people of Shazhou, I would like to thank you all.”

Hearing this, Han Song stood up and said humbly: "My lord, you are welcome. Since Shazhou is already a part of our Hengshan, it should naturally be taken care of as if it were governing the people. Here, I would like to congratulate you for winning another state and defeating Eternal Army, show off our military power."

"My subordinates are waiting to congratulate you, Hengshan Wansheng!" Everyone cheered in unison, their faces filled with excitement.

"Okay, okay, these are the results of everyone's hard work, and this is the victory of all of us in Hengshan." Lin Yifan pressed his hands and said with a smile: "Now is not the time to celebrate, and the danger of Shazhou is imminent. Therefore, this The official convened this meeting to discuss with you how to deal with the crisis after Shazhou."

Han Song stood up first, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the situation in Shazhou Xinde is not stable. The subordinates think that peace is the most important thing at this moment. If you can not go to war, try not to go to war."

Lin Yifan nodded slightly. The Hengshan army suffered a lot in this battle with the Eternal Army. If possible, he didn't want to go to war at this time, but the opponent is a big country, so I'm afraid they won't take Hengshan seriously. "Master Han's words are reasonable, but, whether to fight or not, the initiative is not in our hands, but in the hands of Tianyun Nation and Xijinlang Nation, what can we do?"

"My lord, there are many passes in the south of Shazhou and the mountains are steep. As long as there are heavy guards, the Tianyun army will not be able to go north." Luo Yi stroked his short beard and mused, "As long as we block the Tianyun army's offensive, it will not take long For a month, it must be able to retreat. On the contrary, the Xijin werewolf is very likely to invade Xizhou brazenly after taking advantage of the eternal retreat. The [-] troops in the Dingxi military region alone cannot stop the Xijin werewolf's advance. Moreover, There is more than one path for Xijin werewolves to come to Hengshan Mountain. They enter from Xizhou, and they can overwhelm Shazhou; through the desert, they can go south from the salt lake to the west bank of Xiashui; What worries me the most is that we don't know where the Xijin werewolves will come from, and the deployment of troops is quite difficult."

"What Luo Zongbing said is exactly what I am worried about." Lin Yifan nodded and frowned, "Everyone, Hengshan is about to face a severe test. The two great powers in the world are eyeing each other. We must win this battle. Only then can we deter the heroes and completely stabilize the land of Shazhou."

"My lord, my subordinates have a plan, which may relieve the urgent need." At this time, Guo Huaili stood up and said.

Lin Yifan was overjoyed, and hurriedly urged: "Minister Guo, please speak."

"My lord, Eternity has just been severely damaged by us, and its strength has been greatly damaged. We may make a decision on it." Guo Huaili raised his mouth slightly, "Now we still have tens of thousands of Eternal Army prisoners in our hands, which can be used as chips to demand that the Eternal Lord send troops to heaven Yun, threatening its rear, forcing the Tianyun army to return to defense, so that our army can be freed from the southern part of Shazhou and deal with the Xijin werewolf with all its strength."

"Minister Guo's words are very kind!" Lin Yifan suddenly felt his eyes light up, and couldn't help praising, "In order to balance the strength of Tianyun and Eternal, we must not only release the tens of thousands of captives, but also support them with certain supplies and weapons to prevent Tianyun from The army took advantage of the weakness of the Eternal Army to enter. If the Eternal Army is defeated, the Tianyun Army will have no worries, and our Shazhou will be in danger."

"Minister Jiang, the contact with Eternal is left to you. You must persuade Eternal to agree to send troops to Tianyun." Lin Yifan turned his head to look at Jiang Yunchuan, and said expectantly.

Jiang Yunchuan stood up excitedly, "I will live up to your expectations."

He knew that the time had come to show the world the capabilities of their Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so he wanted to complete this mission.

Lin Yifan relieved a worry in his heart, he was quite happy, and said with a smile: "Everyone, as long as our strategy is successful, Tianyun will not be worried. Now the only thing to worry about is the Xijin werewolf. I wonder if you have a plan? "

Everyone was silent for a long time, Ye Hongyu stood up slowly, and said loudly: "My lord, I think that the Xijin werewolf was severely injured by the Eternal Army before, and its strength has been weakened. And the Eternal Army was defeated by me at Hengshan, so it is bound to be able to Let the Xijin werewolves have some scruples. As long as we fight back hard and show momentum, the Xijin werewolves may retreat. However, now that we have won Shazhou, we are not only going to hold this place, but to develop this place into an area leading to The trade center of the Western Regions. Now the Western Regions are in chaos, and the Western Regions are in great chaos, which is extremely detrimental to the development of Shazhou. The subordinates think that for the Western Regions, we should not only repel them, but also drive them out of the Western Regions, and drive them out of the Western Regions. The countries have been drawn into our sphere of influence. In this battle, we at Hengshan must do our best to completely defeat the Xijin werewolf."

"Lord Ye, our army has just gone through a big battle, how can we have the ability to cope with the next one?" Wang Fugui said with a bitter face, "We spent tens of millions of taels of silver just to rescue Shazhou There are not many materials and manpower left in the treasury, and it can no longer withstand a war."

"My lord, what Ye said was about strategy. We are indeed unable to launch a war against the Western Gold werewolves in a short period of time." Ye Hongyu explained, "But we must be prepared to go to the Western Regions. Shazhou is already barren. If If trade cannot be opened for a long time, Shazhou will no longer be a benefit to us, but a burden."

Hearing this, Lin Yifan couldn't help nodding his head heavily and said, "What Master Ye said is exactly what I'm concerned about, everyone, no matter what, Shazhou is located at a critical point, no matter who gets it, it's a threat to Hengshan. Now that Shazhou is in our hands, it can enhance the security of our Hengshan. We must firmly control the land of Shazhou, and we must not fall into the hands of Tianyun or Xijin werewolves. But, as Master Ye said, Shazhou If it is only used as an important defensive area, we can only continue to inject blood into it. Our foundation is weak, and the loss outweighs the gain. Therefore, Shazhou must open up the Western Regions as soon as possible and resume business. Only in this way can Shazhou become self-sufficient, and even be able to support our Hengshan Land of fortune for blood transfusions.”

"Your Excellency!" Ye Hongyu admired, "This subordinate thinks that we and the Tianyun Army should focus on defense, and even take the initiative to negotiate peace with them, constantly showing weakness. When we are ready, we can deal a thunderous blow and severely damage their army The Western Golden Werewolf must fight quickly and injure it severely with one blow, so that it will not dare to fight again, so that it can be forced to give up the Western Region, and then our army can gather a large army to deal with Tianyun, and the danger of Shazhou will be resolved."

"This method is feasible." Lin Yifan nodded, then turned to look at the crowd, "What do you think?"

Naturally, everyone had no objection, and even passed Ye Hongyu's plan.

Afterwards, everyone discussed the details of this strategy in detail, and finally decided to launch a western offensive strategy to compete for the hegemony of the Western Regions.

After the meeting, Lin Yifan worked with Luo Yi and other generals to study the deployment of troops and the formulation of strategies and tactics. In order to prevent the Xijin werewolves from crossing the desert and raiding the rear of Hengshan, they decided to strengthen the deployment of troops in the two places to stabilize the rear.At the same time, expand the cavalry establishment, recruit a large number of cavalry soldiers, and step up training during this winter.The land of the Western Regions is vast, and non-cavalry cannot run for thousands of miles.

While Lin Yifan was nervously thinking about the grand strategy, the news that the 30 Hengshan Army defeated the [-] Eternal Army in Shazhou quickly spread throughout the world.This made the people who originally thought that the Hengshan Army was destined to be beaten into disgrace, startled from ear to ear.They never expected that the Hengshan Army would be able to defeat the mighty Eternal Army, and they would win more with less.As the news continued to spread, everyone knew that the Hengshan Army seemed to have a mysterious weapon called gunpowder, which had the sound of thunder, and the power to split mountains and rocks, and when it got close, both men and horses would be shattered.

As soon as this news spread, all the forces were amazed. If the Hengshan Army had this sharp weapon, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?But why did Hengshan still guard the one-acre three-point land until now, without the slightest intention to expand?Zong Zong was confused and asked all the forces to step up sending secret spies to Hengshan in an attempt to find out.

　Now he is hesitant whether to allow Hengshan to contact the western countries prematurely, whether to start from the inside out, or first from the outside to the inside.
