Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Fang Jian's face was not good at this time: "Why didn't you report it last night, but only sent the news this afternoon?"

"Please forgive me, Chairman. We did not deploy any personnel at the East China Sea Wharf, so we were unable to obtain information from the wharf in time." Tao Yunong quickly admitted their mistake.

The reason why we were able to get the information about the East China Sea Wharf today is because the East China Sea Concession was alarmed when the Locust warship entered the port last night.

The warship stayed in the East China Sea last night to replenish a lot of supplies, and just left this morning.

Because the laborers talked about the replenishment of supplies last night, the intelligence agents got to know the news and reported it.

Fang Jian sighed. He knew that Tao Yunong was not to blame, so he quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Okay, let's leave it at that. The East China Sea Wharf is very important. There are concessions in the East China Sea, and there are a lot of goods coming and going. At the wharf, we can clearly know the incoming and outgoing conditions and get information."

“Even if our people cannot serve there, we still need to bribe the people at the dock to provide us with information.”

Tao Yunong replied: "Yes, I will arrange for someone to do it right away."

Fang Jian walked to the map and fixed his eyes on Qi Yuan for a long time.

Now he was a little confused. Should he fight a war of attrition with the Dwarf Locust Kingdom in Qiyuan, or should he temporarily cease fire with them after destroying some of the Dwarf Locust troops?

As for completely expelling him from Qiyuan, Fang Jian also thought about it, but he directly rejected it.

Just like after the September 918th Incident on Blue Star, the dwarf locusts occupied the three northeastern provinces. They are definitely unwilling to give up. Even if they are driven out of the three northeastern provinces, they will still be eyeing other places in Dragon Country.

Now the dwarf locusts have occupied Qiyuan and are causing great harm to Qiyuan.

Would he drive the dwarf locusts out of Qiyuan and let them plague other parts of the new country? It is better for one place to suffer than for many places to suffer.

His current strength is not enough to protect the coastal cities. Similarly, the strength of the dwarf locust is not enough to occupy other places except Qiyuan.

With thousands of thoughts running through his mind, Fang Jian sighed heavily.

"Send a telegram to Fang Guoxuan, inform him of the movements of the dwarf locusts, and tell him that the previous strategic intentions have been cancelled. Let him go ahead and fight however he wants."

"Yes, Chairman." Seeing that Fang Jian had no other instructions, Tao Yunong responded and went down to make arrangements.

At this time Fang Guoxuan called the commanders of the 13th, 14th and 15th divisions to a meeting.

He had originally planned to lead them toward Yi County, but when he learned that the dwarf locust had withdrawn, he stopped pursuing them.

Even if we pursue the dwarf locust army, at most we can eat some of the rearguard troops, which will make them exhausted and unable to cope with the subsequent battle.

Fang Weiguo, Fang Weijia, and Xue He knew that Fang Guoxuan was in a bad mood at the moment, so they all lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Report, the Chairman's urgent message."

Just when Fang Guoxuan was about to say something, a communications officer stood at the door of the conference room and knocked on the door to report.

"Bring it here quickly." Fang Guoxuan raised his eyebrows, wondering what arrangements Fang Jian had made in the telegram.

The officer immediately entered the conference room and handed over the telegram.

After taking the telegram, Fang Guoxuan quickly glanced through it and couldn't help frowning.

"Commander, what happened?" Seeing Fang Guoxuan frowning, Fang Weiguo asked in a low voice.

Fang Guoxuan waved his hand to let the communications officer go down, looked at the three people helplessly and said: "The two divisions of reinforcements of the Little Locust entered the East China Sea last night and set out from the East China Sea early this morning."

"So fast." Fang Weijia was also quite surprised. He didn't expect the reinforcements of the Dwarf Locust to arrive in Qiyuan so quickly.

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, it had been more than ten days since they left the native land of the small dwarf locust, which was not a short time.

"The Chairman has ordered us to abandon our previous combat intentions and let us go ahead and do what we want."

"Really? That's great. We can completely drive the dwarf locusts out of Qiyuan." Fang Weiguo was most excited about this.

However, Fang Guoxuan poured cold water on him the next moment, saying, "But we can't take down Qi Chang, this is the bottom line."

"Okay." Fang Weiguo was a little disappointed when he heard that he couldn't take down Qichang, but he recovered after a moment. If they could play freely, wouldn't Qiyuan let them run wild?

Xue He asked, "Commander, how are you going to fight?"

Naturally, they did not want to miss the opportunity to make merit, and they were very active in fighting against the dwarf locusts.

Fang Guoxuan glanced at the faces of several people and couldn't help but smile.

"The 16th and 10th Divisions occupy Qining and Weining respectively, which is equivalent to blocking Qichang. Although Qichang has two divisions, they cannot move eastward, so they pose no threat to us."

"Once Commander Zhang eliminates the Asada Division, there will be no more dwarf locust troops stationed in the entire Qiyuan except Qichang and Qingzhou."

"It just gives us the opportunity to wipe out the remaining two divisions of the Dwarf Locust, as well as the Kasahara Brigade in Qingzhou."

After hearing this explanation, the three of them lost interest. They should forget about the Asada Division. Zhang Wei had four divisions and could easily destroy the enemy.

As for the two divisions of the Dwarf Locust that are about to arrive, they haven't arrived yet and don't know the other side's deployment, so it is naturally difficult for them to compete for combat missions.

Fang Guoxuan discussed some details with the three people and decided to move the three divisions to various counties for stationing.

This place is not far from Qingzhou. Whether it is to provide support or to retreat and lure the dwarf locust army out of Qingzhou, it is quite convenient in all counties.

After the meeting, Fang Guoxuan sent a telegram to the 3rd and 11th Divisions, asking them to reunite with Zhang Wei, and also sent a telegram to Zhang Wei to inform him of the current situation in Qiyuan.

At the same time, a telegram was sent to the 12th Division, asking it to continue to be stationed in Yi County to facilitate support to Qining or Weining.

Zhang Wei received a telegram from Fang Guoxuan and called Han Shaorong and Mu Junwen to the headquarters, and informed them that the 3rd and 11th Divisions would soon provide support.

Upon hearing the news, Mu Junwen couldn't help but yelled: "Commander, our two divisions are enough to destroy the Asada Division, why do we need to ask the 3rd and 11th Divisions for support?"

Zhang Wei shook his head slightly. How could he not know the two people's little thoughts? They wanted to take all the credit for the dwarf locust for themselves.

"Commander Fang has ordered us to finally take down the Asada Division tomorrow to avoid any unexpected events."

"What could possibly happen? Commander Fang doesn't trust us..."

Mu Junwen wanted to say something else, but Zhang Wei glared at him so hard that he had to shut up.

"The Dwarf Locust reinforcements arrived at the East China Sea last night. I wonder if they will be able to land in Qingzhou today or tomorrow."

Upon hearing the news, Mu Junwen and Han Shaorong were both ready to go, showing no fear.

After all, if they could draw out the two divisions of the Dwarf Locust, it would be a good thing for them. With the reinforcements of the two divisions, they had a total of 80,000 people, so they were naturally not afraid of the two divisions of the Dwarf Locust.

As an elite force, it does not mean that they cannot fight just because they have no advantage in manpower.

In the past, when they dealt with those warlords, they always defeated the larger force with a smaller one and resolved the battle quickly. Even if the dwarf locust army was stronger than the new country warlord army, they still had the confidence to fight.
