Chapter 721 Advance to the Far East
The chief of staff of the Far Eastern Uprising Army served as the commander of the Nanchuan Army before entering the Far Eastern region. Although he held real power, he was also considered a senior general of the Nanchuan Army.
But after all, the Nanchuan Army is full of talents and countless brave generals. Although Mu Xue has outstanding military achievements, it seems a little overshadowed in front of people such as Mingyang, Xia Ge, Sisi and others.
With the turmoil in the Far East, Lin Chuan selected Mu Xue, who was flexible and loyal to the Far East, and asked him to organize the rebel army to restrain the Hanhai army from the side and back, thereby reducing the pressure on the front Nanchuan army.
More than a year passed, and Mu Xue gradually grew from the more than 50 people he brought with him, becoming the chief of staff of the Far Eastern Uprising Army. His status was second only to that of the commander Zhao Yun, and he held millions of heavy troops at his peak.
Lin Chuan had unexpectedly expected that Mu Xue could achieve such a dazzling achievement. At that time, he just hoped that Mu Xue could restrain Han Hai's army to a certain extent, but he did not expect Mu Xue's development to be so large.
As Mu Xue was in a prosperous future in the Far East, Lin Chuan also passed the Intelligence Department, but because Tielan Pass Fortress was controlled by Hanhai Army, Mu Xue was unable to contact Lin Chuan, and the two sides interrupted their contact for a long time.
Although Mu Xue was once loyal to the Nanchuan Army, he was still a member of the Nanchuan Army at that time. However, as Mu Xue left the Nanchuan Army for a long time and his status continued to rise, wealth and power were within his control, the suspicion of loyalty to Mu Xue within the Nanchuan Army has never stopped.
Jiang Mingyue, deputy director of the Intelligence Department, once suggested that Lin Chuan allow them to take action to remove Mu Xue. After all, Mu Xue has not taken the initiative to contact the Nanchuan army for more than a year, and his loyalty is unpredictable.
More importantly, Mu Xue was once a senior general of the Nanchuan Army and was very aware of the various systems of the Nanchuan Army. If the Far East Uprising Army grows and Mu Xue and the Nanchuan Army go their separate ways, they will become another strong enemy of the Nanchuan Army.
The Intelligence Department’s suggestion is to remove Mu Xue and nihilize the danger in the cradle. After all, Mu Xue is too familiar with the Nanchuan Army. If he rebels, it will undoubtedly turn into a bomb. I don’t know when it will backfire on the Nanchuan Army.
Lin Chuan, the young commander of the Nanchuan Army, considered the suggestion of the Intelligence Department for a long time, finally refused. It was based on strong confidence. Regardless of whether Mu Xue will return to the Nanchuan Army in the future, the Nanchuan Army that has developed to this day cannot be shaken by Mu Xue.
If Mu Xue returns to the Nanchuan Army in the future, Lin Chuan will give him the same official position as the promise he had. If Mu Xue does not return, let him go. After all, the Nanchuan Army is in a cloud, and one less Mu Xue will not hurt his muscles.
If Mu Xue really wants to backfire on the Nanchuan Army, Lin Chuan is not afraid at all. The Nanchuan Army now has five main legions, all of which are among the elite. Lin Chuan does not believe that the Far Eastern Uprising Army formed within a short time can take advantage.
The Nanchuan Army was worried about whether Mu Xue would return. Mu Xue, who had become the chief of staff of the Far Eastern Uprising Army, was actually confused in his heart, especially when the rebel army grew to one million people and he was in a high position and was in power, he once thought about not returning to the Nanchuan Army. After all, what he wanted now is what he wanted, why bother going back and suffering and surrender to others.
However, after the successive defeats of the Far East Uprising Army, Mu Xue's thoughts changed immediately. He realized that the Far East Uprising Army could not stop the counterattack of the Hanhai Army. Without the intervention of external forces, all their efforts would be useless.
Under such a premise, Mu Xue led his army to conquer the Tielan Pass fortress and sent a letter of help to the Nanchuan Army, which was also a signal of return.
Regarding Mu Xue's request for help, the Supreme Command of the Nanchuan Army specially held a high-level meeting to discuss whether to send troops to the Far East.
"Our army is now facing the powerful threat from the Red Turban Army in the west. If we rashly send troops into the Far East, we will disperse our strength. After all, the Hanhai people are also powerful. If we fight on both sides, we may not be able to bear it."
Li Yunshan, deputy chief of staff of the Nanchuan Army, did not agree to send troops to the Far East. He was worried that the enemy troops in the west would take advantage of the situation to disperse his strength. After all, the journey to the Far East was long, and even if he wanted to return to the rescue, it would take at least one or two months.
Chief of Staff Xue Wen held a completely opposite opinion: "The Far East is vast and rich, with more than a dozen provinces and a huge population. If we can eat up the Far East, then the strength of our Nanchuan Army will increase by 20 times. At that time, our army will sweep the world and create a great hegemony for thousands of years! So I suggest sending troops to the Far East."
"My opinion is..." Mingyang, deputy general of Nanchuan Army, also made suggestions.
...
The meeting lasted until the early morning of the next day. In the end, Lin Chuan knocked on the board and decided to send troops to the Far East. Lin Chuan decided to bet once.
With the current strength of the Nanchuan Army, it will take at least ten years to develop if it defeats the powerful enemy in the west. If it can swallow up the Far East, the Nanchuan Army will grow rapidly and will not be afraid of any enemies at that time.
But there is also a risk that once the Nanchuan Army falls into two sides of the battle, if you are not careful, you will be doomed and become the first victim on the road to hegemony.
This is a big bet. If you win, you lay the foundation for the great fortune of Qianqiu. If you lose, you will have nothing. Lin Chuan is ambitious and has great ambitions, so he is planning to gamble once, because there will never be a pie falling from the sky and it will cost you.
After the decision to send troops to the Far East, in order to minimize the problem of insufficient ability to deal with sudden outbreaks due to the transfer of troops, the Nanchuan Army conducted an expansion.
The 100,000 provincial guards in Nanchuan Province were converted into regular troops, and they were dispersed and supplemented into various corpses. Then, veteran backbones were drawn from these corpses to form the sixth main legion of the Nanchuan Army, the Blasting Bear Legion.
The commander of the Blasting Bear Legion was led by the brave and warlike general of the War Song of the former Zhenxi Army. The deputy commander was promoted to the position of the commander of the corps, Gangyu, who was good at fighting fierce battles. He had the combat troops of ten flag regiments and the logistics support of two flag regiments, and the baggage engineering troops, with a force of 120,000 troops.
Considering that this advance into the Far East was facing the powerful army of the Hanhai Empire, just one newly formed Blasting Bear Legion seemed a little weak, so he drew cavalry troops from three flag regiments from the Jiuyuan Legion to join the dispatch sequence this time.
Lin Chuan finally appointed Deputy Commander of the Nanchuan Army, and Deputy Marshal Mingyang personally led the Blasting Bear Legion and the cavalry of the three flag regiments affiliated to the Jiuyuan Legion, a total of 150,000 elite soldiers and generals to the Far East.
Lin Chuan sent Mingyang, deputy commander of the Nanchuan Army, to serve as the commander of the Far East this time. First, he was able to control the army and facilitate command. Second, [31 Novel Network] showed his importance to the Far East.
The Far Eastern Uprising Army with Mu Xue is still in a state of combat alone. Lin Chuan also hopes to subtly influence the Far Eastern Uprising Army in the cooperation between the two armies, laying the foundation for Mu Xue's return.
Lin Chuan's goal was to join the Nanchuan Army before the war in the Far East ended, reorganized into the Far East Legion, and be under the command of Deputy Commander Mingyang. This was the condition for him to send troops because he did not do a loss business.
Mu Xue also responded to Lin Chuan's conditions, that is unconditional obedience. Considering that the Nanchuan Army would recruit the Far East uprising army for the first time when it entered the Far East, it would cause internal dissatisfaction among the rebels, so Lin Chuan extended the deadline, that is, before the war in the Far East ended.
