"Okay, let's not talk about the Nan's Army now. You all know that our food is in difficulties. Even if the Nan's Army can provide us with some support, it may be difficult to maintain the harvest next year. I wonder if you have any good ways to overcome this difficulty?" Miley waved his hand with some worries and interrupted Baron Ferdinand, the deputy commander of the Seventh Corps, who was about to speak. He knew that the other party wanted to explain to Nick, but he was no longer in the mood to talk about these unhelpful things. He just wanted to find a way to solve the current problem. A soldier, the biggest problem now is the food problem, and behind it is his own motherland. Now he has to rely on himself to solve the food supply. This sounds like Miley himself feels a bit funny, but it is the case.

"Marson, the wealthy families in Fanlin City and Jiama City should have a lot of surplus grain. If we can take some special measures, we should be able to gain something. In addition, although the Taixuan Mansion of Tanghe people also encountered a drought, I heard that Li Wufeng had accumulated a lot of food at the beginning of the year, and also bought back grain from the Central Continent. My subordinates suggested that it would be better to ask the Prime Minister to withdraw one or two corpses from the Southern Expedition Army. We can go south from Jiayuguan to avoid the military strength of the Nanjieloxijiang Army.

There is plenty of place to mobilize Taixuan, Yinchuan, and even Guide and Qingyang, with the goal of food. Now Li Wufeng has concentrated the main forces of the army to the east? Since he can go deep into our occupied areas to carry out a raid, we can also do the opposite, follow the Luo Bei people of that year and conduct a major mobilization of the northwest mainland!" It was still the Baron Ferdinand, with a solemn look, a firm face, and a firm and powerful speech. Obviously, he was quite prepared for this issue.

"Oh?" Ferdinand's words made Miley's eyes flash, and he knew that he was moved by the other party's suggestion at first sight. Ferdinand had not been under his command for a long time. He was originally a commander of ten thousand cavalry in the First Corps. He had just been promoted to the commander of the Seventh Corps and had not had much contact with Miley, but just these few words made Miley realize that this guy was different from other deputy positions.

It is obviously not advisable to collect grain from the rich families in Jiama and Fanlin City. Although the half-borrow and half-expropriation of grain raised this time attracted a lot of opposition, the local gentry that had been openly maintained a cooperative relationship with the occupying army had not yet turned against each other. If the old tricks were used again, I am afraid that things would really become out of control. However, the other party's second proposal was quite innovative and worth discussing. It is not difficult to sweep Taixuan Mansion from Jiayuguan south, but Taixuan is an important gateway to face his own side in the northwest, and may be subject to the storm of his own army at Jiayuguan at any time. Except for some food among the people, there may be no big goals worth considering, especially big things like granary storage warehouses, but Yinchuan and Qingyang are different.

The Xizra peoples were said to have signed a treaty of good neighborliness and friendship. This time, the Xizra people also purchased a large amount of food from Xizra, making the Xizra people the most relaxed country in Liberia. The Purs people, because their domestic agricultural production has been unstable, have accumulated considerable food every year, and they must have lived a better life than their own countries. Thinking about the most powerful and prosperous Kaman Empire, suddenly it became the most difficult country. This drastic change is indeed unacceptable.

Yinchuan has become the most important port for trade with Xisro in the Western Xinjiang. Since the number of troops garrisons in the southern fortress of the Sisro people has dropped to a historical low level and is almost unprepared. In a good return, the garrisons of Yinchuan Prefecture confirmed based on intelligence that there were less than 10,000 people. It is said that the grain purchased by the Sisro people from Xisro from Xisro should also be transported from the Yinchuan Port to Xisro. Yinchuan Prefecture seems to be in the vicinity of the prefecture city. The specific situation is not clear about Miley, but he believes that his domestic intelligence department should be in control. As for Qingyang, the core hinterland of Xisro, as the location of the Great Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang and the key to the Western Regions, Northern Luzon and Tengger grasslands, and deep in the mainland, this kind of grain reserve is definitely indispensable.

It’s just that the distance between the two places seems too far. Miley, who has always been cautious, doesn’t like this kind of risky action with huge risks. If it were normal, Miley would definitely ignore it. But now, Miley has to calm down and carefully consider the feasibility of this plan and the pros and cons.

Seeing the commander's intention, a trace of excitement jumped in Ferdinand's eyes. This was an opportunity. He had been working hard for six years from a thousand cavalry to a ten thousand cavalry, and he had worked hard for another five years from a ten thousand cavalry to a deputy commander. Eleven years of time had led to his rise from an intermediate officer to a senior general. If he could seize this opportunity, perhaps the time he would erase the word "Deputy Commander" would be much shorter.

"Marson, Bei Zhi carefully analyzed Li Wufeng's arrangement in the northwest. Now, due to the change of the Xisluo people and the decline of the nomadic people on the Tengri grassland, Yinchuan and Qingyang are actually in the safe area of ​​the so-called Great Protectorate of the Western Frontier controlled by Li Wufeng. The number of troops stationed in the southern part of the Xisluo people is decreasing. In fact, it can no longer pose any threat to Yinchuan. Therefore, Li Wufeng is indeed qualified to transfer the main troops eastward, but he ignored an important factor, that is, from Jiayuguan, our cavalry can advance westward along the southern foot of the Xingdu Kush Mountains and penetrate into Yinchuan. Although this line is not short, it is flat, with neither mountains nor large confluence, which is extremely beneficial to the cavalry's actions. Moreover, there are no obstacles and market towns in this area. We can use the mobility of night march and cavalry to rush into Yinchuan overnight and catch them off guard!"

"Oh? Do you want to take down Yinchuan Mansion? If we were our cavalry alone, we would be afraid that there would be only 10,000 defensive troops in Yinchuan Mansion, and it would be difficult for us to seize it." Miley seemed to have paid attention to the other party's intentions, but he did not point it out.

"No, we don't need to take Yinchuan. Our goal is to reserve grain storage warehouses in Yinchuan Prefecture and Qingyang Prefecture. Qingyang Prefecture is the capital of the Great Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang. There should be an army above the division. However, if we can dispatch 30,000 to 50,000 cavalry, we can completely block the defenders in Qingyang and Yinchuan, forcing them to be unable to fight. The Western Xinjiang Army, which is closest to Qingyang and Yinchuan, should be the second and fourth, stationed in Wulanji on the Tengger Grassland.

Although the cavalry regiment is closer, they lack sufficient mobility. Second, the Fourth Cavalry regiment will start from their information to their orders and finally arrive in Qingyang, it is estimated that it will be unlikely to arrive in less than a week, and a week will be enough for us to do a lot of things." He has stood in front of the front screen wall in the lobby, pulled the opening curtain with one hand, Ferdinand was full of spirit, pointing at various targets on the map while talking.

"Well, it's interesting, but have you considered that if the enemy Rangers and cavalry forces gave up their operations in Yulin, Qinghe and Pinglu, they returned west to reinforce?" Miley already recognized the other party's intentions in his heart. Although there are still many places to be considered, at least the other party proposed a brand new attack strategy is worthy of recognition, but he did not express any praise in language.

"This·;··;········" was a little speechless for a moment, and the deputy commander of the Seventh Corps obviously did not consider this issue.

"Look at it. From the Nanteluoke Sutra to Guide to Qingyang, there are all flat and unobstructed wilderness plains. Even if the enemy rangers operate in Yulin and Qinghe, once they get the news and return with all their might, they can fight back to Qingyang at most three days. What is the purpose of our southward trip to Yinchuan and Qingyang this time? It is not to let go after burning and killing, but to seize the other party's food, and to transport the food back to our controlled area. From Qingyang and Yinchuan to Jiayuguan, even if there is no obstacle, it will take at least five days. As long as the enemy's cavalry arrives, we will not have any chance. How can we send this food back? This is still based on the fact that we can successfully seize the other party's food." Miley also slowly walked to the map, and his fingers were drawn from Qinghe to Qingyang, and then pointed from Qingyang to Jiayuguan, and he gave a calm and relaxed guidance.

The officers, who were originally a little more vivid after Ferdinand's explanation, suddenly fell asleep again. The Marshal said it was right that the purpose of going south this time was to seize food, not to fight. This strategic intention was not realized even if it was a beautiful battle and eliminated many enemies, it would be a prosperous side business and a cold main business, and eventually it would end up hungry.

Ferdinand was also beaten by the coach's words, and his eyes were staring at the map with a pile of frowns. He rubbed his hands hard under his nose, as if he was about to rub some ideas from the beard stubble above his lips. Miley took his eyes off the map and looked at the deputy commander with interest. He wanted to see if the Baron Ferdinand could jump out of this box and find a better way.
