The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 438
During the Spring Conference held in Hengshan, the Western Expeditionary Army from far away in the Western Regions had already entered the territory of the Western Regions. A large army of 20 arrived. As a medium-sized country closest to the Western Region among the countries in the Western Regions, Yilan Kingdom had a population of only a little over [-] people and had no more than [-] troops.Now as soon as the army arrives, they immediately surrender to the city.

Seeing this, Hou Mingfeng immediately dispatched troops to control the entire city, and the rest of the troops immediately swept across the entire Yilan Kingdom, completely controlling it.

However, Hou Mingfeng was very pleased that the King of Yilan knew so much about the general situation, and immediately appeased the King of Yilan, promising to keep his position unchanged.Correspondingly, King Yilan immediately expressed his willingness to regard the Tian Dynasty as the suzerain state and completely separate from the Xijinlang Kingdom.

Occupying the first bridgehead in the Western Regions, Hou Mingfeng summoned everyone to discuss military discussions with King Yilan.During this visit, although Hengshan has conducted a very detailed survey of the Western Regions, it is still not as good as King Yilan's understanding of the entire Western Regions.So everyone sat on the side and listened to what King Yilan told the Western Regions.

"Masters of the Celestial Dynasty, there are nearly a hundred countries in our Western Regions. Because of the battles and fights every year, the birth and death of countries one after another, so the number is not fixed." King Yilan explained to everyone respectfully, and Jin Jiuyuan explained to everyone Translate, "The small ones have only tens of thousands of citizens and thousands of troops, and the big ones have hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of armor. Among these chaotic countries, there are now five great powers standing. One of them is in Ilan Five hundred miles to the west of the country, it is called the Wushi Kingdom, with a territory of five hundred miles, a population of more than 30, and 40 troops. Five hundred miles further west from the Wushi Kingdom, there is a large country called the Chasha Kingdom. It has a radius of thousands of miles, but the population and soldiers are unknown. To the north of this country, there is a large country called Yizi, with a radius of 30 miles, a population of more than [-], and [-] soldiers. Chasha Kingdom is [-] miles to the south, and there is a country, It is called Dili Kingdom, with a radius of a thousand miles, a population of more than [-], and [-] soldiers. To the west of Chasha Kingdom, there is a country called Loulan Kingdom, with a radius of two hundred miles, a population of tens of thousands, and [-] soldiers. The Five Kingdoms are the most powerful countries in the Western Regions. Even the Western Golden Werewolves tend to woo them. These are the general situation of the Western Regions that Xiao Wang knows."

Hou Mingfeng carefully marked the positions of the five major countries on the map, staring at the map with sharp eyes, thoughtful.After a while, he raised his head and looked at King Yilan with piercing eyes. "Lord Yilan, can you tell me, among the five great powers, which countries have their hearts attached to the Xijin werewolf, and which countries are likely to surrender to our Celestial Dynasty?"

After Jin Jiuyuan interpreted his words, King Yilan replied cautiously: "If one of the five major countries is more friendly to the Xijin wolf people, it must be the country of Yizi. If it weren't for its kindness to the Xijin wolf nation, today's population The military strength will not be the highest in the entire Western Region. You know, his land is bordered by the Western Golden Werewolf. As for the other four countries, Loulan Kingdom is located in the western part of the Western Region, and has close contacts with the Western countries. It has little contact with the East. The king didn't know their intentions. As for the country of Shasha, which was located in the desert, it was tough and unruly, and often attacked the surrounding countries. Because it was located in a harsh desert, it was difficult for outsiders to enter. Even the Xijinwolves don't want to provoke them easily. It can be said that among the countries in the Western Regions, this country is the only one that is not ruled by the Xijinwolves. As for Wushi and Dili, the two countries have always been at the opposite end of the spectrum. As long as the Celestial Dynasty can completely After defeating the Western Golden Wolf Country, it will automatically vote. Generally speaking, if the Celestial Dynasty wants to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, it must defeat the Western Golden Wolf Man in front of the other countries, so that the other countries can see that the Celestial Dynasty is strong enough to replace the Western Golden Wolf Man in the Western Regions. their safety."

Hou Mingfeng frowned slightly when he heard the words. It seems that this western expedition was not as easy as imagined.The high-handed rule of the Western Golden Werewolves in the Western Regions has already chilled the countries of the Western Regions. If the Western Expeditionary Army cannot severely injure the Western Golden Werewolves in the Western Regions, they will not be able to replace their influence in the Western Regions.The current plan is to advance steadily westward, forcing the Xijin werewolf to come to the rescue.Then the army defeated the Xijin werewolf with an upright and upright army, dispelling its influence in the Western Regions.

After inviting King Yilan out, Hou Mingfeng explained his plan to everyone and asked everyone present for their opinions.

After thinking for a while, Murong Kang stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Commander, with the current strength of our army, my subordinates say that the number of soldiers we can fight is only [-]. The Xijin werewolves have dozens of troops." Wan, plus the intimidating Western Region servants, can we really defeat them in an upright manner? The general thought that it would be a safe strategy for our army to occupy a dangerous place and fight against the enemy."

Hou Mingfeng was noncommittal, nodded, and looked at the rest of the people.

"Commander, the general thinks that our army can defeat the Xijin werewolf head-on." At this time, Meng Tong stood up and said loudly: "General Murong has just joined our Hengshan, so he may not know much about our military system. Now our army Although there are only [-] regular troops, the rest of the soldiers and horses are not powerless. As long as one order is given, hundreds of thousands of people can gather into soldiers. Although their strength is not as good as that of the regular army, they can deal with the same infantry. It is not bad at all. In addition, our army is well-armored, and we have magic weapons in our hands, and we can fight ten against one. Even if the enemy has hundreds of thousands, our army has nothing to fear."

"The old man also knows that our army is well-prepared, but we still can't be too careless." Murong Kang gently stroked his long beard, and said solemnly, "Werewolf Xijin once suffered from our loss, how can we repeat the same mistake again. Daddy Handsome, generals, please think twice."

Hou Mingfeng tapped lightly on the map with his fingers, and looked at Shi Shouyi who had been silent all this time, "General Shi, what do you think?"

"Marshal Qi, the general thinks that this battle should be done quickly rather than delayed." Shi Shouyi hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Our army's long-distance expedition will consume a lot of food and grass. If the Xijin werewolf fights with our army, our army will sooner or later If you can't support it, you will either collapse or retreat."

Hou Mingfeng showed seriousness in his eyes, and nodded slowly, "Does General Shi have any countermeasures?"

Shi Shouyi pondered for a while, "The general thought that our army completely avoided those small countries and other big countries, and went straight to the country of Yizi. Our army is in the country of Yizi, and we will have a showdown with the Xijin werewolf. The reason why the general proposed This strategy is because the country of Yizi is friendly to the country of Xijinlang. If our army attacks the country of Yizi, the Xijinwolf will have to go to the rescue. Otherwise, once our army captures the country of Yizi, they will come to the hinterland of Xijinlang and threaten Ye Ke. Shacheng. Secondly, it can show the countries in the Western Regions that our army’s opponent is the Xijin werewolf, and lower their vigilance. At the same time, it is also warning them that all participants in the two heroes’ struggle for hegemony are the enemies of our army. At the same time, Our army quickly marched north, and the Western Golden Werewolves had no time to coerce the countries of the Western Regions to participate in the war, and the countries of the Western Regions were not so stupid. The werewolves of the Western Regions are enough to establish our military prestige in the Western Regions, and the Werewolves of the Western Regions retreat, and we are the only ones left for the countries of the Western Regions to choose."

"Well, what General Shi said is reasonable." Hou Mingfeng nodded in agreement, feeling quite moved in his heart.

"Generals, I have something to add." At this time, Jin Jiuyuan, who had been silent for a long time, said, "For this Western Expedition, before we meet the Western Golden Wolf, our army can convey the purpose of this Western Expedition to the entire Western Region. Inform the nations that the Celestial Expedition to the West is to rebuild the Protectorate of the Western Regions, not for the purpose of oppressing and exploiting the countries of the Western Regions. Instead, it is based on the purpose of re-opening business routes and joining hands for common prosperity, and jointly prospering the land of the Western Regions through business exchanges In this way, the hostility of the countries in the Western Regions to our army will be greatly reduced. Before our army confronts the Western Golden Wolf, the countries will at least be able to maintain neutrality and reduce the threat from the rear. This is my humble opinion, and I hope you generals will consider it .”

"Master Jin's words are really far-sighted, and I can't wait for them." Hou Mingfeng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise.In the past, these generals only considered strategy and tactics, but ignored some strategies outside the battlefield. "Master Jin will be fully responsible for this matter. I wonder if Lord Jin thinks it is okay?"

"The subordinate takes orders!"
