Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

After taking over Anmi County, neither Fang Guoxuan nor Zhang Wei were very happy.

After all, the strategic goal this time has not been achieved, and the dwarf locust army is hiding in their hole, which makes it very difficult for them.

The only thing that could be done now was to attack Qichang and Qingzhou by force, but Fang Guoxuan naturally didn't want to do that.

Not to mention that Fang Jian did not want to take back Qiyuan and capture these two cities now, just think about how many troops would be lost in a forceful attack.

This time, 18,000 dwarf locust troops were wiped out, and the Nanshan army itself suffered no less than 3,000 casualties, and many soldiers were wounded.

If we really attack Qiyuan or Qingzhou by force, we will only lose more soldiers.

"These little dwarfs have learned their lesson and started to become cautious." Inside the command center, Fang Guoxuan couldn't help but shook his head.

He had of course received the news that the dwarf locusts had landed in Qingzhou, but he had no idea how many soldiers had landed.

Later, the Intelligence Department received news that the reinforcements of the Little Locust did not take any other actions, but began to defend Qingzhou. Even the Little Locust had no intention of reoccupying Jiao County and Mo County that were previously occupied by Zhang Wei.

After Zhang Wei withdrew his troops, there were no troops stationed in these two counties, so the dwarf locusts could easily occupy them if they wanted.

"Except for the 16th Division, all troops in the First War Zone will rush to Vining and await the next step."

"Yes, Commander."

Following Fang Guoxuan's order, all divisions marched towards Weining.

Fang Guoxuan reported all the battle reports of his troops to Fang Jianan, waiting not only for the movements of the dwarf locust soldiers, but also for Fang Jianan's decision.

After receiving the telegram, Fang Jian was also very helpless, struggling with whether to directly attack Qingzhou.

As long as Qichang is not lost, occupying Qingzhou will not affect the little locust's continued reinforcement of troops to Qiyuan.

After thinking about it, Fang Jian gave up the idea. After all, these dwarfs were not fools. Taking Qingzhou instead of Qichang was obviously setting a trap for the dwarf locusts to jump into.

It is impossible for the Dwarf Locust to lose several divisions again and fill in the troops bit by bit.

"The storm is coming." Fang Jian sighed.

He has received a report from Tao Yunong on the domestic situation of the dwarf locusts, and that they have been expanding the size of their reserve forces. Fang Jian estimates that the dwarf locusts have not given up their plan to invade the new country.

It is not the best time for the new country to recapture Qiyuan now. After all, as long as they do not cripple the dwarf locusts, they can change their attack targets at any time.

"Dong dong dong."

"President."

At this moment, Zhuang Jiwu knocked on the office door.

"Enter."

Zhuang Jiwu came in with a telegram and handed it to Fang Jian: "Chairman, this is a telegram from the Dwarf Locust Country. They request peace talks with us and have sent an envoy from their country."

"These little dwarfs have such great dreams." Fang Jian couldn't help but sneer.

He could naturally see that these dwarfs were using a delaying tactic, waiting for the new domestic army to be equipped and for the money and food to be raised to prepare supplies.

But after a moment's hesitation, Fang Jian nodded and said, "We agree to the peace talks, but the location cannot be in the East China Sea, it should be in Qiyuan."

"Yes, Chairman." After receiving the order, Zhuang Jiwu immediately went down to make arrangements.

The negotiation location decided by the Little Locust was the East China Sea, after all, it is an international metropolis.

Of course, they chose the East China Sea as a place to bully others, after all, there are many powerful countries in the East China Sea. They can also bring in some powerful countries to put pressure on the Nanshan government.

"Send a telegram to Fang Guoxuan and ask him to lead the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions back to Heyuan. The troops in the 1st theater will be temporarily under the command of Zhang Wei."

"Dispatch a Nanchuan division to Heyuan, and select qualified soldiers from all over the country and send them all to Heyuan."

"Yes." Wang Hu beside him answered and went to arrange for the sending of the message.

It is now May 10th, and the new troops in various places have been trained for several months. After a period of time, the situation should calm down.

Fang Jian decided to take advantage of this period of time to set up the First Military Region. Qi Yuan's operations would then be temporarily handed over to the First Military Region.

If we don't establish the First Military District now, we will have even less time to do this once the battle with the dwarf locusts becomes intense.

After receiving Fang Jian'an's telegram, Fang Guoxuan did not hesitate. He immediately drove to Anmi to meet Zhang Wei under the escort of guards.

"Commander Fang."

"Old Zhang, why are you still being so polite?"

The two of them came to the conference room chatting and laughing. Fang Guoxuan conveyed Fang Jian's order, which made Zhang Wei frown.

"Commander, it's okay to take away three divisions, but you should also leave this place. What if the dwarf locust makes any other moves?"

It's no wonder that Zhang Wei was worried. After all, he was nominally only the deputy commander of the First Army. Even if he had Fang Jian's order, it would be bad if something went wrong with this unjustified position.

Not to mention anything else, when facing the counterattack of the dwarf locust, if you react half a beat slower, the damage caused will be unimaginable.

Fang Guoxuan smiled slightly, not caring about it: "It doesn't matter. If the little locusts really want to counterattack, it will be a good opportunity. When the time comes, you can inform Commander Cai by telegram, and he will lead his troops to support us."

He believed that even if there were only seven divisions left in Qiyuan, not to mention defeating the four and a half divisions of the Dwarf Locusts, he could still make them hold on and wait for reinforcements.

"Commander, why would I ask you to go to Heyuan for no reason?"

Fang Guoxuan naturally guessed what Fang Jian was thinking: "Have you forgotten what the Chairman said a few years ago?"

"What did the Chairman say before the New Year?" Zhang Wei scratched his head and did not think about the establishment of the military region.

Fang Guoxuan did not say it clearly. After all, this was just his guess. He had to wait for Fang Jian's order to know whether it was true or not.

After explaining some matters and handing over the work to Zhang Wei, Fang Jian led the 1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions and headed towards Heyuan.

Fang Jian and Fang Guoxuan were not worried about any problems with Qi Yuan. The transfer of three divisions was not only for the purpose of establishing a military region, but also to lure the dwarf locust army to take the initiative to attack.

However, to their disappointment, after receiving the news that the Nanshan Army had withdrawn part of its troops, neither Qichang nor Qingzhou responded.

This made the two of them secretly feel regretful.

In recent years, the Dwarf Locust has planted many spies in the new country. Once the Nanshan Army moves, someone will naturally pass the news back to Qichang.

Of course, these spies have no access to the confidential intelligence of the Nanshan Army and can only know some things that the public knows, so there is no very detailed information.

After receiving the information about the Nanshan Army's retreat, Ito Sanefumi and Yamane Okinen remained indifferent. As for the Qingzhou garrison, they naturally did not dare to act without Ito Sanefumi's orders.

Only Anton Xinyu looked unhappy: "Commander, since part of the Nanshan Army has retreated, isn't it a good time to attack them and drive them out of Qiyuan?"

In Anton Xinyu's opinion, they now have four and a half divisions, which are enough to compete with the Nanshan Army.

He also thought that if he had not retreated at the beginning, with Yamane Nobutsune sending troops to support him, and with the reinforcements coming from the country, Asada Motoji would not have been defeated and killed in the battle, and he might even have defeated the Japanese.

"Captain Anton, the country is preparing for peace talks with the Nanshan government. Are you going to disrupt the country's decision?"

"Don't dare."

Ito Mifumi used domestic pressure on him, so Anton Xinyu was naturally unhappy. However, no matter how unhappy he was, he had to endure it, after all, he was his superior.

Seeing Anton Xinyu's unconvinced look, Ito Mifumi couldn't help but shook his head.

The New Country's army is powerful. It is true that they have four and a half divisions, but do they need to leave troops to defend Qichang and Qingzhou? The number of troops that can be dispatched is limited.

In addition, the new country has deployed ten divisions on the border of Qiyuan, which can enter Qiyuan at any time.

If we can’t defeat ten divisions, what will happen if we attract ten more divisions?
