Chapter 153: Encirclement and annihilation in one fell swoop

After seeing off Chongshan, Qi Diaozi said with concern: "General, Chongshan actually wants to allocate one of the only two cavalry divisions in the Northern Legion to the Western Legion. Are you not happy?"

Meng Hu shook his head and said solemnly: "Then you underestimate the mountain. He can't have such thoughts."

"Yes." Qi Diaozi nodded, "To be fair, I think Chongshan is indeed not such a person."

Meng Hu sighed: "Zhongshan is a respected governor. I hope we will not meet on the battlefield in the future."

Qi Diaozi was silent, but thought in his heart that this was probably inevitable, unless Chongshan was willing to be loyal to Meng Hu, but this was obviously impossible.

The next day, early morning.

Meng Hu, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened by the tremor of the earth beneath him. When he was quickly put on his clothes and went out of the tent to observe, he saw a large group of cavalry sweeping across the mountains and fields on the vast horizon in the east. Countless high horse heads were shaking under the rising sun. Thousands of cavalry soldiers were wearing red battle robes, almost filling the entire world. As far as they could see, there was endless red ocean.

When Meng Hu led a group of senior generals and staff from the Western Legion to welcome him out of the gate, the large group of cavalry had already stopped in the wilderness in front of the camp. A cavalry general with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a strong aura was riding his horse out of the battle. When he came to Meng Hu, he suddenly raised the horse fork in his hand to salute.

"Commander, the Third Division of the Northern Legion is ordered to be summoned by you, and the Commander of the Third Division of the Northern Legion is Ma Sifeng!"

"Well." Meng Hu nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Although the General's Third Division is not affiliated with the Western Legion, both the Northern Legion and the Western Legion are the imperial army and should fight for the benefit of the Empire. This commander hopes that the General can always keep this in mind."

Ma Sifeng hit his chest with his right fist and said proudly: "Only the commander's order is to obey!"

"Very good." Meng Hu focused his head and said solemnly, "The Third Division will rest on the spot and start in half an hour!"

Northern Province.

On the large road leading to the provincial capital, a large group of troops from the Eastern Legion were slowly moving northward.

Li Yu's luxury carriage was slowly moving north with the large group of people. Li Yu was also the duke, the governor of the eastern province, and the commander of the Eastern Legion.

Li Yu was very upset about this northbound trip. The reason was very simple. It was obviously a thankless chore to defend against the possible southern invasion of the Galaxy Empire, but it was a great contribution to the western expedition with Meng Yan! Now the northern legion in Chongshan was not defending its territory, but followed Meng Yan to the western expedition. The destruction of guarding the northern provinces was his eastern legion. What kind of thing is this? It is clear that the eastern legion was raised by his stepmother.

Chief of staff Luo Ping'an naturally knew that Li Yu had resentment, so he hurried in the carriage and took a nap and didn't bother him.

Just when Li Yu was feeling unhappy, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from outside the carriage, and then the voice of the guard captain Hongliang sounded: "Governor General, King Yan is urgently believing!"

"The King of Yan is urgently convinced?"

Li Yu glanced at Luo Ping'an with a brow.

Luo Ping'an hurriedly lifted the curtain and took the letter from the captain of the guards. Seeing that Li Yu had no intention of reaching out, he opened the letter. After reading it, he frowned and whispered: "Strange."

Li Yu asked, "What did the prince say in the letter?"

Luo Ping'an said: "I didn't say anything important, I just vaguely mentioned a student named Yue Meng, but the prince's meaning is very obvious, that is, I want the adults to cultivate this student named Yue Meng."

"Yue Meng?"

Li Yu frowned and thought for a while, but still had no impression.

There were as many as 40 graduates assigned to the Eastern Legion this time. Li Yu had only met them once, so how could they all remember their names? However, King Yan wrote a letter to mention a newly graduated military academy student. This matter is very particular. Could it be that this student named Yue Meng has anything to do with King Yan?

Thinking of this, Li Yu asked, "Lao Luo, what do you think about this?"

Luo Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Sir, why don't you let this Yue Meng go to Xiaogucheng?"

"Little Gucheng?" Li Yu frowned, "Little Gucheng only has one light army corps stationed. What do you mean is to let Yue Meng go to the light army corps as the corps captain?"

Luo Ping'an said: "Xiaogu City is located at the southern foot of Dahuang Mountain and close to Mocheng. Unlike Dagu City, which goes deep into the northern foot of Dahuang Mountain. If the Iron Cavalry of the Galaxy really goes south, Dagu City will definitely be the first to bear the brunt, so it is more appropriate to place Yue Meng in Xiaogu City, so adults can take care of it nearby."

“Okay.”

Li Yu nodded and suddenly said, "But change the wing to Xiaogucheng."

Luo Ping'an's heart jumped and whispered: "Which lord is the one who wants to go?"

Li Yu groaned and said, "Let the Semitic Army go."

"Well……"

Luo Ping'an was stunned when he heard this, but he would soon feel it. He thought that the Governor was still worried that the King of Yan had not allowed the Eastern Army to participate in the Western Expedition. Isn't that intentionally making things difficult for Yue Meng to lead him? How could a young boy who had just graduated from military academy control the unruly Semitic mob?

Qingzhou battlefield.

After Kawahara divided the troops, ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past ten days, the situation of the Guanghui Empire Army in the Qingzhou battlefield was truly unstoppable and invincible. Especially the western legion on the north wing was progressing the fastest, and it had advanced more than 500 miles northwest. Two hundred miles ahead was Heifeng Ridge at the junction of Qingzhou and Bingzhou!

Meng Yan's middle army also advanced straight in, breaking countless cities along the way, and even Qu'acheng, the capital of Qingzhou, had been captured by the Guanghui Empire Army. Situ Rui's Mingyue Empire Army seemed to have really been disintegrated. He had not made any decent resistance in the past ten days. These cowards even gave up Qu'acheng, the capital of Qingzhou.

However, it is regrettable that the huge city of Qua has become an empty city, and the people in the city have actually withdrawn, which makes people amazed Situ Rui's appeal. It is not easy to carry so many people into their hometowns and leave their homes for generations.

Outside Qu'a City, Meng Yan's account was held.

Park Sanzhi raised his concern to Meng Yan and said, "Your Highness, I always feel that the atmosphere is wrong."

Meng Yan never doubted Pu Sanzhi's loyalty, but what annoyed him was that this guy always wanted to raise some unhappy topics. He has been muttering in his ears about the suspicious signs of the Mingyue Empire Army and Situ Rui's abnormal behavior. This time, he probably wanted to reiterate the old words.

Meng Yan interrupted Pu Sanzhi with impoliteness: "Mr. Sanzhi, if you want to say that Situ Rui has any conspiracy with Qiu Yutang, then you can shut up as soon as possible. You can't see through the simple strategy of "exchanging space for time". I really don't know what your mind is thinking all day long?"

Park Sanzhi indeed shut up. He just felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't say any reason.

Meng Yan ignored Pu Sanzhi again and turned to ask Shi Miyuan: "Mr. Miyuan, how is the progress of the north and south wings?"

Shi Miyuan hurriedly walked to the huge map hanging on the screen, inserted two hundred red flags onto the map, and said: "According to the latest news from the fast horse, the western legion on the north wing has captured the second largest city in Qingzhou, and is less than two hundred miles away from the Heifeng Ridge at the junction of Qingzhou and Bingzhou."

"The North Wing Army is progressing so fast!"

Park Sanzhi couldn't help but exclaim, "Around the Heifeng Ridge and walk west for two hundred miles, it's the Heifengkou. This is the only way for the troops of the northern states of the Mingyue Empire to go south to Zhongzhou. As long as the western legion captures and guards the Heifengkou, it will pinch the throat of the reinforcements on the northern line of the Mingyue Empire!"

Meng Yan's brows frowned in an instant. Meng Hu's Western Legion was progressing so quickly, which made him feel very upset!

At this moment, Meng Yan had no intention of asking about the progress of the Southern Wing Army and ordered Shi Miyuan to say: "Mr. Miyuan, the army will accelerate its advancement tomorrow. Within ten days, I will hold a celebration banquet at Huxiao Pass!"

Tiger Roar Pass.

Qiu Yutang came to Hu Xiao Pass again, but this time she did not come from the light chariot, but brought the imperial guards, two royal legions of the Guards, but three divisions of the Guards have been transferred into Situ Rui's Eastern Expedition Army sequence, so the current Guards are actually only one division left.

The guards of the Mingyue Empire Army were not composed of veterans drawn from major local corpses, and the system was like the local corps, with only four divisions. Unlike the Glorious Empire, the guards had five divisions, and the guards had six divisions. Two royal corps were equivalent to three local corpses.

The hall of Hu Xiaoguan City guarding city is brightly lit, and a military conference concerning the life and death of the Mingyue Empire is underway.

Situ Rui pointed to Qiu Yutang with great certainty, "Your Highness, now it is certain that the Western Expedition Army of the Guanghui Empire has indeed divided its troops, and it is definitely not a suspicious plan. From the flag, armor and battle robe standards, it can be judged that the northern route should be the western legion, the southern route should be the northern legion, and the remaining guards, the northwest and southwest legion are concentrated in the middle route, and this route should be the main force!"

Qiu Yutang's willow eyebrows frowned instantly, and a trace of intimidating spirit had already emerged in his bright eyes.
