Zhang Yinghuai's guess was absolutely correct.
While they were still dealing with the Central Asian coalition forces, the National Defense Forces had already set off.
The Third Division of the Fourth Front Army of the Northwest Strategic Cluster served as the vanguard and officially sent troops to Central Asia.
There are no tricks to this march, there is only one way to go.
That is the Wakhan Corridor.
This mountain valley with a total length of more than 300 kilometers is the only passage from the Western Regions into Central Asia. It can be said to be a battleground for military strategists.
It's a pity that Central Asia is now in chaos. If you sing and I will appear, no force can care about this important road.
The march of the Third Division went very smoothly. It took only five days to reach Langar and made contact with the Taoist Volunteer Army.
At this time, the Taoist volunteer army had joined forces with Wang Changyue and others, and began to attack Kabul.
As the first great plain out of the mountains, Kabul has always played an important role. The Safavid dynasty knew that this place could not be lost, so they accumulated heavy troops.
The Persian mainland has not received news yet and is unable to provide any help for the time being. It can only rely on the Safavid army here to hold on.
The Safavid army commander Ansidya was worried and contacted the Bukhara Khanate several times, hoping to get help. But the Bukhara Khanate was short-sighted, frightened, and quite intent on shrinking.
The Bukhara Khanate also had its share of hardships.
The Fifth Division and the Third Cavalry Division have crossed Lake Karakul, followed various passes in the mountains, and begun to attack the heart of the Bukhara Khanate.
The Bukhara Khanate organized several resistances, but all ended in failure and could only retreat.
The army of the Bukhara Khanate has decided to retreat to the Gurica and Uzgen lines, relying on natural dangers and concentrating its forces for the most solid defense, leaving the vast and desolate mountainous areas to the National Defense Forces, increasing the burden of the National Defense Forces' march.
"These places are vast and sparsely populated, so it is better to fight quickly than to delay. It is best to concentrate the cavalry for long-distance attacks. If Tashkent can be captured, the Bukhara Khanate will have no chance of turning defeat into victory."
In the northwest cluster's headquarters, a group of famous generals watched Zuo Xuanyan's performance with smiles and admired her ideas.
Teenagers are actually able to think outside the box and view the war from a more grand perspective, surpassing many veteran generals.
Moreover, Zuo Xuanyan's plan is very feasible and can give full play to the powerful force of the National Defense Forces.
"How about it?"
Huang Sanhu asked.
"I agree."
Yu Lichun, commander of the Fifth Front Army, immediately expressed support.
He had wanted to do this for a long time.
"Leave this task to us."
Chang Kaiyuan, the commander of the Fourth Cavalry Division, was eager to fight and felt that he had to do his part.
After all, the two cavalry divisions of the Northwest Cluster, the Third Cavalry Division, have already been engaged in fighting on the southern front, and only the Fourth Cavalry Division is still resting.
Huang Sanhu seemed to be about to give an order, but his eyes looked at Zuo Xuanyan, who was looking forward to it with half a smile.
Everyone understood what was going on and wanted to see if Zuo Xuanyan could hold it back.
The little girl was very impatient, but her cultivation was extraordinary. Even though her emotions were written on her face, she still managed to endure it.
But at this moment, the door of the headquarters was opened, and Long Zuguang came in person.
"Your Majesty's decree!"
With a crash, a group of generals quickly became serious and stood up to receive the order.
"The emperor is serving the people, and the edict says: The emperor's eldest daughter Zuo Shi Xuanyan has been smart since she was a child, has achieved academic success, is both civilized and military, and will not fall into the name of the royal family. In the first battle, she made outstanding achievements and became famous in the Western Regions. I am very pleased. Now, Canonize the King of Qin and tell the world!"
boom……
The entire command center was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Zuo Xuanyan in disbelief, who was also a little confused.
Since the birth of the three children of the royal family, their titles have not been sealed.
The reason given by Zuo Menggeng was that the children were still young and did not know their temperament and talents, so it was not suitable for canonization.
Even so, everyone is thinking that Zuo Xuanyan's title may be that of a certain princess.
I didn't expect that she was not a princess, but a prince.
He is also the most extraordinary King of Qin!
First, King Qin conquered Liuhe, and then Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty used King Qin to become an emperor through the ages. This title began to have a different color.
When emperors of all dynasties canonized princes, they almost always paid attention to avoid this title, so as not to cause confusion in people's hearts.
Now that Zuo Mengeng has given this title to Zuo Xuanyan in a grand manner, it seems that all the speculations and rumors have been confirmed.
Zuo Xuanyan didn't have so many ideas. Getting a ban was no different to her.
She waved her hand and asked Long Zuguang to collect the relevant vouchers for her.
"Uncle Long, where is my father?"
Long Zuguang was very happy.
After all, he had watched Zuo Xuanyan grow up and was particularly close to her.
"Your Majesty has arrived in Turpan. Hearing that His Majesty won a great victory, he drank two more glasses of wine."
Everyone followed and praised him.
"The hearts of parents in the world are pitiful. Your Majesty's love for His Highness is truly touching."
Listening to the unskilled compliments from a group of rough men, Zuo Xuanyan felt chills all over.
"Okay, okay, don't force yourself. Uncle Long, what else does my father have to say?"
This time Long Zuguang became serious.
"His Majesty said, now that you have made up your mind, do it well."
Zuo Xuanyan immediately burst into laughter.
The tacit understanding between father and daughter did not need to be said. She already understood Zuo Mengeng's expectations for her.
She looked at Huang Sanhu.
"Commander-in-Chief, I am requesting to join the battle."
The change of title means that Zuo Xuanyan has officially become a member of the Northwest Cluster.
Huang Sanhu also restored the dignity of the commander-in-chief.
"Well, I hereby appoint Zuo Xuanyan as the forward commander of the assault group. The generals below Chang Kaiyuan, commander of the Fourth Cavalry Division, will cooperate in the operation. Do you understand?"
The generals of the Fourth Cavalry Division were trembling with fear. They did not expect that such a good thing would happen to them and others.
Accompanying the crown prince in battle, from now on he will be the crown prince's confidant and close minister. What it means, everyone knows very well.
"Make sure to complete the mission."
Huang Sanhu thought for a while and then looked at Qiu Jinpeng, the commander of the Seventh Division.
"The Seventh Division follows the assault group and protects the rear of the assault group."
Zheng Chenggong is in the 7th Division.
Since King Qin wants to establish meritorious service and prepare for future succession, King Qin's team must be promoted and important one by one.
Of course Qiu Jinpeng also understands the relationship.
"With our division here, the assault group's rear path will be safe."
Delhi.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Ambassador is here."
When the Wehrmacht emerged from the Himalayas, the entire Mughal Empire fell into a state of panic.
Shah Jahan ordered the troops from all over the country to assemble and march to the northwest, while discussing countermeasures with his ministers.
What puzzled them most was why the empire wanted to invade the territory of the Mughal Empire?
Fortunately, through the last Battle of Tianzhu, the Mughal Empire agreed to the establishment of embassies in Delhi by various countries in the terms of surrender.
Now if the situation is unclear, just call the imperial ambassador to inquire.
Under the terrified and angry gazes of the Mughal emperors, Zhu Zhixi, the imperial ambassador to India, strode into the palace with his head held high.
The country behind him is powerful. Although he is alone, he is powerful and well prepared.
