    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1079

    "Xu Shuai, Your Majesty's secret decree orders you to secretly withdraw from the river and go to Lancang province immediately."

    In the temporary house of Deputy Marshal Xu Yong, the capital of Hezhong Province, a shadow guard leader sent a secret edict from the base camp to Xu Yong.

    "Brother, you know a lot about the situation. Do you know why His Majesty ordered a retreat just after our army occupied the capital of Hezhong Province?"

    After Xu Yong opened the secret edict and read it, he couldn't help but frowned and asked the leader of the shadow guard.

    "Xu Shuai, I won't hide it from you. Now our army is short of food and fodder, and the bandit army and wolf cavalry are powerful. I heard that His Majesty wants to avoid the enemy's sharp edge, temporarily shrinking the defense, and let the wolf cavalry and the bandit army fight for these areas.  When the time is right, we will kill another one back to the carbine."

    The leader of the shadow guard also intentionally made friends with Xu Yong, the newly rising deputy commander, so he also told Xu Yong what he knew.

    After Xu Yong heard the words of the leader of the shadow guard, he also made an expression of sudden realization.

    "Please trouble my brother to send someone to report back to His Majesty. I will resolutely carry out the order and lead the army to retreat from now on." Xu Yong promised.

    "Your Majesty asked me to tell you to retreat secretly and keep quiet when retreating, so as to avoid being chased by the bandit army." The shadow guard leader added.

    "And you can leave a team behind. After the army retreats, burn down the towns and villages along the way, leaving a piece of scorched earth for the bandits and wolf riders. Let them fight for themselves."

    "I see."

    Although Xu Yong secretly scolded Long Tian for being vicious in his heart, there was a smile on his face.

    After the leader of the shadow guard delivered the secret order of Emperor Longtian, he also quickly returned to the base camp and returned to his orders.

    Because this time, not only Xu Yong and the others in Hezhong Province retreated, but also the base camp of Pingyang Province.

    Long Tian originally set up the base camp of the rebel army in Pingyang Province, which is close to the front line, and he also wanted to enter Gyeonggi Province once he defeated the imperial army, and successfully become the orthodox emperor.

    But things backfired, he was getting farther and farther away from the capital now, and after the wolves rode south, they had already threatened their base camp.

    If it weren't for the desperate resistance of their troops in various towns, the army of wolf cavalry had already reached the capital of Pingyang Province.

    Naturally, Long Tian didn't want to face the threat of wolf cavalry all the time, so his base camp withdrew to the eastern province, and the army in the middle of the river province withdrew to the Lancang province.

    After Xu Yong, deputy marshal of the rebel army, and the shadow guards left, he quickly summoned his deputy, Han Tao.

    At first, Han Tao was sent by the Qinghe Army to monitor Xu Yong. Once Xu Yong used his heart, Han Tao would replace Xu Yong.

    But Xu Yong has always been loyal to Chen Ziang, so Han Tao has also become Xu Yong's right-hand man, and now serves as a regiment commander in the rebel camp.

    "Long Tian wants to abandon Pingyang Province and Hezhong Province to withdraw eastward. You should send the news as soon as possible."

    After seeing Han Tao arrived at his residence, Xu Yong also showed Han Tao the received secret edict immediately.

    Han Tao naturally realized that this was extremely important information, so after he left Xu Yong's residence, he quickly went to the secret contact point of the Intelligence Investigation Institute.

    Although Xu Yong is in charge of the army, Han Tao is from the Qinghe Army, so Han Tao is in charge of intelligence and other affairs.

    The information on the rebels obtained by the Hezhong Province was delivered to Chen Ziang as quickly as possible.

    Chen Ziang's current frontline headquarters is located at the junction of Hezhong Province and Gyeonggi Province, so the distance is not very far.

    "Their move is wonderful."

    When he learned that the rebels were going to take the initiative to shrink their defenses and abandon the two provinces of Hezhong and Pingyang by means of a strong man breaking his wrist, Chen Ziang had to look at them with admiration.

    You must know that giving up two provinces is not just giving up this piece of land, but giving up a large number of people, cities and resources.

    The rebel army is already weak now, and now they are giving up two provinces, which means that their strength will be further weakened.

    Chen Ziang also admired the courage of the rebels. After all, not everyone was willing to throw the things in their pockets out.

    "Your Highness, this is a great opportunity for us. The rebels will retreat to the east, and we will be able to occupy these two provinces without much effort."

    Li Lang, the head of the second army, did not expect the rebels to be so cowardly, so thatHe was also overjoyed.

    "If we are marching now, wouldn't we just fall into the tricks of the rebels? I don't think we can occupy these areas they gave up."

    Li Qiye, the chief of staff who had already rushed to the frontline army, remained calm, thinking that this was a trap.

    The rebels retreated voluntarily, and the wolf riders will surely follow in and occupy these areas.

    If their Qinghe army went to seize it again, they would definitely fight the wolf cavalry, which is exactly what the rebels wanted to see.

    "Although the wolf cavalry is powerful, we are also strong and strong now. Seeing that we just watch the wolf cavalry occupy these areas?" Li Lang, the head of the second army, said unwillingly.

    "Although we are strong now, we are also facing many problems."

    "The fifth field army has just been reorganized, and it will take some time to observe whether it is reliable. So instead of becoming our combat force, we have to keep the army to guard against them."

    "Although the First Field Army, the Beichuan Army, the Nanchuan Army, and the Lingnan Army have occupied most of the southwest and west, there are still many remnants of the original Far Eastern court."

    "So in a short period of time, they need to continue to stay in the local area to wipe out the remnants of the enemy and digest the occupied areas."

    "The Third Army Corps is to guard the Yunshan, Dongjiang, Jiangnan and Jiangbei provinces under the jurisdiction of the Southeast Government. They also cannot be transferred."

    "The Qinghe Province is still in the hands of the remnants of the Far Eastern court. The Guards Corps has dispatched a few flag regiments to go there. It will take time to fully grasp it. The remaining flag regiments are to guard the Hexi line and the Gyeonggi line.  Province."

    Li Qiye sighed: "So the only ones we can use now are your Second Army and General Wang Cheng's Fourth Army. Our strength is also stretched."

    "As far as I know, the 100,000 cavalry of the vanguard of the wolf cavalry has arrived in Pingyang Province, and the 200,000 central troops led by their King Youxian have already set off."

    "With the current army in our hands, if we conduct a large-scale battle with wolf cavalry, as long as we command properly, we may not fail, but we cannot eliminate them either."

    "Once the rebels make a comeback at this time, we will be in danger."

    "I mean the same as the chief of staff. We will wait and see for the time being, and don't occupy these areas." Chen Ziang also expressed his opinion.

    "First of all, we now need time to digest the occupied area. Only by digesting the occupied area and completely holding it in our hands can we become our own. Otherwise, the enemy may not take it away again at any time."

    "As long as we are given three to four months, we will be able to assemble a considerable part of the army to the front line, and then we will have a decisive battle with the wolf cavalry, and the chances of defeating them will be much greater."

    Chen Ziang said: "And we don't want to occupy these areas. If the wolf cavalry wants to occupy these areas, their battle line will be stretched. This is another opportunity for us. Don't forget, we still have the Fourteenth Army in Baishan Province."  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
