On the evening of January 16, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Xin Ping once again went to the lord's cabin to find Qu Mao to report the military situation, although Qu Mao had expressed last time that Xin Ping did not need to come to him specifically to report.

Seeing Xinping come in, Qu Mao asked: "Xinping, the expeditionary force is about to set off, why do you come here to find me again?

Using this time to instigate one or two generals who are commanding the army of the Liudu Principality will be a far greater achievement than just dazzling them in front of me."

Xinping smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, it has not delayed the things that my subordinates should work hard on. Please rest assured.

My subordinate received a letter from the Northern Intelligence Agency: In the waters of the coastal princes, the temporary main battle force of the navy led by Lord Sylvia successfully blocked the second invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire, and the war is nearing its end."

Qu Mao suddenly became interested and said: "Oh, this is good news, although it is not beyond expectations.

Let’s talk about it in detail, how was the battle going? How did Sylvia and the others perform?”

Xinping rolled his eyes wildly in his heart and said: "Sir, the navy and the intelligence agencies are not subordinate to each other. In order to ensure the safety of intelligence personnel in enemy territory, the intelligence agencies are in single-line contact.

Therefore, my subordinates don’t know exactly how Sir Sylvia fought.

However, according to what intelligence personnel observed, the Mughal Empire's second invasion fleet could not continue sailing south after it reached the territorial waters of the coastal princes. It seemed to have been broken up by Lord Sylvia's fleet.

The warships of the Wol Empire's second invasion fleet have turned back and fled.

Sir, the overall battle should be going smoothly, the intelligence agencies have observed and reported intelligence along the way, and I estimate that Mr. Sylvia will return soon."

Qu Mao was a little disappointed in his excitement, nodded and said: "Well, it's good to have this information.

It would be better if Sylvia Ocean came back with the navy's temporary main battle team as soon as possible. We have determined that the expedition will be launched at 6 pm on January 22nd in the fourth year of Tianxuan. The expeditionary force will take the initiative to fight against the Prince of Flow.

At dawn on the 23rd, the battle against the Principality will begin in full swing. Before that, after Sylvia Ocean returns, she will have to recover the fallen semi-permanent sentry towers along the reef chain.

Come back early so that the navy soldiers of the temporary main battle team of the navy can rest for a while. Su Yan will be fighting the war for the restoration of the country in the Liuwang Principality. The Sylvia navy will also have to build the Reef Chain Naval Base and Nancun Naval Base.

There are so many things going on."

Xinping said: "Sir, Sir, Sir Sylvia and the intelligence subordinates of the Navy's temporary main battle team have reported so much to you. As for the arrangements for Sir Sylvia after his return, I believe that Mr. Sylvia will definitely

I took the initiative to report to you, Your Excellency.

This subordinate came here mainly because he wanted to discuss some other matters with the adults."

Qu Mao raised his head and glanced at Xinping, thought for a moment, and said, "Xinping, sit down and talk."

Xinping sat down and said: "Sir, after you held a mobilization meeting to counterattack the Principality of Liu on the morning of January 9th, your subordinates specially organized intelligence agency personnel to collect intelligence in and around the Principality of Liu, as well as against the Principality of Liu.

officials and military generals to infiltrate and instigate rebellion.

These are all routine tasks, but while collecting intelligence, my subordinates discovered that the Luanshan Marquis Kingdom on the southwest border of Liuwang Principality was very interesting.

Sir, the land area of ​​the Luanshan Kingdom is very small, only the area under the jurisdiction of the three cities of Liuwang Principality, and its military strength is extremely weak.

According to the investigation by subordinate intelligence personnel: the standing field force of the Luanshan Kingdom does not exceed 100,000 soldiers, and the senior soldiers are mainly third-level warriors. Counting the garrison strength of each city in the Luanshan Kingdom, the total military strength of the Luanshan Kingdom does not exceed

600000.

Your Excellency, my subordinate has made a comprehensive analysis of the situation between ourselves and the enemy and has some immature ideas. Please make your decision.

The subordinates believe that there should not be any landing operations on the 12 islands in our territory in the short term. Even if the God's Chosen player lord forces continue to invade the territory, it will be difficult to break through the defensive tower arrays along the coasts of the islands in the Yizhen territory. This

Under this background, the entire army and part of the garrison in our Yizhen territory are actually idle.

Sir, please take a look..."

Xinping took out a map and spread it on the table in front of Qu Mao.

Looking at the simple map in front of him, Qu Mao frowned.

Xinping's fingers were sliding on the simple map and he said: "Sir, look!

If you want to reorganize the army and garrison, you might as well go out and capture the Luanshan Kingdom.

The subordinates believe that Sir Mrak, Wang Ping, Hua Tielan and other adults can lead the army and part of the garrison to capture the Luanshan Kingdom in one fell swoop.

After the Luanshan Kingdom was captured, it was very valuable.

The Luanshan Kingdom is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. The length of its coastline is far longer than that of the Liuwang Kingdom. It is also surrounded by mountains on three sides. The mountains are all high and steep, making it difficult for ordinary troops to pass through easily in large numbers.

After capturing the Luanshan Kingdom, on the one hand, the naval military base can be built all the way to the Luanshan Kingdom. Not only can a military port be built, but also a naval barracks can be built.

Furthermore, if the Luanshan Kingdom is not captured, Lord Su Yan will need to defend a 100-kilometer-long canyon on the southern border with the Luanshan Kingdom after her restoration. However, after capturing the Luanshan Kingdom, she only needs to

By blocking the 10-kilometer-wide canyon at the junction of the Luanshan Kingdom and the Gil Kingdom, we can defend most of the territory of the Luanshan Kingdom and Liuwang Principality."

Qu Mao also stretched out his finger, followed the area drawn by Xinping, and said while drawing: "You mean that the Luanshan Kingdom is actually in the shape of a bottle? Once the hole is blocked, there will be no foreign trouble at all?"

Xinping said: "Sir, the Luanshan Marquis has a coastline of about 15 kilometers. The place suitable for landing is actually very close to Nancun, no more than 5 kilometers away. Other places are not suitable for landing.

It's better to say it's a bottle than a bowl. There is a gap less than two kilometers near the sea near Nancun. There are about 100 kilometers of canyons in the northern area bordering the Liuwang Principality. There is a canyon about 10 kilometers wide in the northwest corner.

The canyon borders the Jirhou Kingdom, and the rest of the area is surrounded by high mountains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the past, the Luanshan Kingdom was a vassal state of the Liusu Principality, but it broke away after the Liusu Principality usurped power."

Qu Mao banged the table and said: "Xinping, inform Xuande, Kongming, Su Li and Su Yan to go back to the lord's cabin for a meeting at noon tomorrow.

Sylvia will let her make her own arrangements, and we will discuss the use of troops against the Luanshan Kingdom."

At 10 o'clock in the morning on January 17, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao was preparing for the noon meeting when Sylvia Ocean sent a remote communication. It turned out that the navy's temporary main battle team had returned to an area where communication could be carried out.

Listening to Sylvia Ocean's report, Qu Mao kept nodding his head and said: "Silvia, just come back and think about regaining the reef chain area."

Sylvia Ocean said: "Don't worry, sir, I promise to complete the mission."
Chapter completed!
