Chapter 179 Information Transmission
The fog in the morning enveloped the entire capital. At the north gate, a man dressed in a merchant rode a fast horse and rushed out of the city gate and rushed to the west. This man was Lu Shaobao, the general of the Chu family army commander, who was ordered to lurk in the capital.
After being arranged by Chu Muyun, Lu Shaobao established a secret intelligence station after he settled in the capital, which specifically collected various intelligences from the Daxing Dynasty for the Chu family army, and was also responsible for the transfer of intelligence with the King of Chu and General Liu Youlong. He had just obtained an information from General Liu Youlong's office and asked him to report it to the Grand Marshal Chu Muyun of the Revenge Army immediately.
After returning to the Western Regions from the Anning River Valley, Marshal Chu immediately sent 100,000 of them to the seven northwest cities guarded by Zhao Yibiao, and formed a confrontation with the Qifan army in the northern area west of Nujiang. Now the Chu family army has occupied Xingjing County and the seven counties west of Nujiang in the north, connecting them into one. Although the area is not large, it has divided the Qifan army that invaded the Central Plains into two, and its strategic location is very important. Therefore, both sides are now adding troops to this area, especially Dehui, and they are vowing to regain control of the area.
At this time, Grand Marshal Chu Muyun received information from General Liu Youlong at Xiamaguan. It was a secret recipe and a letter. General Liu presented in detail how to crack the giant formation of Qifan, and reported the auspiciousness and results of defeating Qifan in Jingchun Kingdom. The secret recipe was a method of preparing the potion to produce thick smoke from the enemy.
General Liu said in the letter that the court currently asked him to command 200,000 troops to station in Fengding County to prevent the Qifan army from invading Jingchun again. He also said in the letter that in the Jingchun battle, more than 40 giant warriors of Qifan were captured, and these people had returned to Fengding County with his troops. These giants have now been freed from Qifan's witchcraft and have lost their combat power, but they no longer obeyed anyone's command. Since no one in the army knew their language, they could not communicate with them. In order to be able to control them, they had to lock them all with huge iron chains and feed them every day. The court now wants to use these people to fight for our army and send special people to tame these giants, but failed many attempts and cannot control them at all. Now the court wants to kill all these giants, so as not to use them for Qifan in the future.
General Liu said that he temporarily held the special history of the court on the grounds that he was looking for a way to control the giants and did not allow them to kill these giants. The letter asked the King of Chu to give him a way to deal with these giants.
Chu Muyun was very happy after receiving General Liu's letter. General Liu Youlong's victory in Jingchun showed that the magic weapon that Qifan relied on to defeat the enemy had expired, and the combat effectiveness of Qifan's army would be greatly weakened. In addition, General Liu is now stationed 200,000 troops on the northeast border, which is a huge threat and restraint for Qifan, making Deyong dare not easily send heavy troops to seize the northwest city. Now it is a good opportunity to raise troops again to fight against Qifan. If the court can realize this and take the opportunity to send troops to counterattack Qifan, it will definitely drive Qifan out of the Central Plains.
What made Chu Muyun worried was that Qi Fan had another strategic advantage that he could rely on, that is, the iron ore and arsenal in the northern county of Jin. According to the information he had, Qi Fan searched for craftsmen everywhere, and his iron ore arsenal has now recovered 80% of its productivity, which greatly improved Qi Fan's combat capabilities. If this situation is not stopped in time, the consequences will be very unfavorable.
However, the current strength of the Fuguo Army cannot pose a threat to the northern county of Jinbei where Qifan is heavily stationed. Moreover, the two places are too far apart and are beyond reach. How to capture the northern county of Jinbei has become a major problem for the Grand Marshal Chu.
Now if you want to capture the county town of northern Jin, you can only rely on the Daxing army stationed on the northeastern border, that is, General Liu Youlong's troops. Chu Muyun suddenly had a plan. He thought that if the Fuguo Army launched another Northern Expedition west of Nujiang, Qifan would definitely send heavy troops to fight. At that time, Qifan's troops in the northeast would definitely be mobilized to deal with the Fuguo Army. If General Liu could lead the Daxing army to raid at this time, he would definitely be able to take down the county town of northern Jin.
After thinking maturely, Chu Muyun immediately replied to General Liu, which detailed his combat plan and asked General Liu to strive to get the court to send troops to counterattack Qifan. If the court cannot agree, then find an opportunity to send troops directly, and he will take action first and then report. It is necessary to capture Jinbei County. As long as the county town can be recaptured, then driving Qifan out of the Central Plains completely is just around the corner. In addition, regarding how to deal with the captured giant warriors, the Grand Marshal Chu asked General Liu to wait for a few days, and he immediately sent someone to help him deal with it.
Chu Muyun asked Lu Shaobao to return immediately and reply to General Liu Youlong. At the same time, he sent people to Jinyang County immediately, asking Kui Er, Lan Meier, Putong and Tami, who were stationed there with Zhao Yibiao, to set off immediately and go to Fengding County to help General Liu solve the problem of the giant warriors.
After receiving the task, Putong and Tami were very happy. They hoped to find their separated parents among the giant captives in Fengding County. Thinking that the family was about to reunite, the siblings were so happy that they couldn't fall asleep.
Kui Er and Lan Meier were also very happy for them. No matter whether they could find their parents among the giant captives, among so many giants, at least someone should know the news about their parents. Besides, the siblings were very clear about how the Qifan people captured and used the giant clan to work for them. After they went, they could explain the situation to the giant clan, and believed that they would definitely be able to convince these giants and perhaps let these giants help us do something.
