They say this is the punishment given by God Kunlun to us demons who invaded their country! "
With a snap, Liu Mingzhi slapped his hand on the desk fiercely: "Fart, put all those who deceive the public with deceitful words into custody and detain the morale of our military! Send an order to the whole city to kill anyone who dares to deceive the public with deceitful words!"
"Got the order!"
After Zhou Baoyu left, Liu Mingzhi's face became a little gloomy, and he took a deep breath to calm down the irritability in his heart.
"Master Deng!"
"The old man is here!"
"Have you ever been to Dawan? Is there any way to deal with the illnesses of the soldiers? I believe you also understand that this is not a so-called punishment from God, but a natural reaction of being acclimatized!"
"Of course the old man knows. The old man often comes to the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Region to sell horses. When passing through this area, the people in the caravan will have this kind of reaction of shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, and shortness of breath. About thirty miles west of the Xiuxun Kingdom, this The feeling will disappear. Marshal, when you sent someone to find me, the old man knew why. These are some of the tricks that the old man has learned over the years. Marshal, you can try them!"
After Deng Kun finished speaking, he took out a piece of rough paper from his arms and recorded more than a dozen lines of text on it, all of which were how to deal with altitude sickness.
Liu Mingzhi's expression relaxed: "That's great. Keeping you is the best decision I've ever made in my life. However, if the army goes thirty miles to the west, it will enter the territory of Dayuan. This is inappropriate. Secondly, the soldiers We must overcome this reaction of being acclimatized. After all, Dawan Kingdom has eight or nine cities within the scope of Congling. If we do not overcome this reaction, when the army attacks the city, it will become a piece of fat in the mouth of Dawan Kingdom. !”
"Cheng Kai!"
"The general is here!"
"Let all the military doctors accompanying the army follow the methods given by Mr. Deng to relieve the symptoms of physical discomfort of the brothers. During this period, they will temporarily stop training. When they have nothing to do, let the brothers go around to relax. When they are tired, they can rest anywhere. Don't force it on. But there is one thing. Remember, brothers must keep their armor and sword in hand to deal with emergencies!"
"The general's order!"
"Commander, brothers, is there anything you need to pay attention to regarding your diet?"
"If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. I ordered the brothers of the Huotou Army to change all the rice into wheaten food, roast it with fire before eating it, and send 10,000 auxiliary troops to retreat thirty miles to leave Xiuxun for drinking water. The territory of the country will be boiled and cooled before being transported to the camp!"
"Got the order!"
"Mr. Deng, do you think there is anything wrong with my arrangement? If so, please give me your advice at any time. There must be no carelessness when it comes to hundreds of thousands of troops!"
"Commander, your arrangements are perfect. If I didn't know that this is your first expedition to the Western Regions, Commander, I would have thought you had been to the Western Regions many times!"
"That's good. It seems that the day to recover the thirty-six countries in the Western Region has to be postponed. Brothers, if we can't react like this, we won't be able to capture Dawan!"
"The old man doesn't understand these things, but the old man will try his best to help Dalong's soldiers overcome this adverse reaction, and tell the military doctors all his own methods!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Deng Lao!"
"The commander-in-chief can help the old man and others take revenge. This small sacrifice is nothing. In this case, the old man should go to the military doctor first!"
"Okay, walk slowly and don't send me away!"
After Deng Kun left, Liu Mingzhi looked a little melancholy. It was already September, and heavy snow would fall in the Western Regions in more than a month. He would not be able to use troops for at least three to four months.
Originally, we wanted to solve the problem within a month. The two armies of Dayuan and Dayuezhi were faced with difficulties caused by nature such as altitude sickness and cold weather.
I'm afraid it won't be possible until half a year after four years when the army returns to the DPRK!
Thinking of his previous conversation with Murong Shan, Liu Mingzhi's expression became a little complicated.
There were many wars that took more than ten years to end. It was only natural for me to want to recover the Western Region within a year.
Unknowingly, it has been almost a year since he left home. Liu Mingzhi said that it was impossible not to miss home. Not only Liu Mingzhi, but also the brothers in the 400,000-strong Western Expedition Army could not help but miss their hometown.
Fortunately, Qi Yun's arrival eased his longing, but who would accompany the hundreds of thousands of brothers on the Western Expedition?
The more he thought about it, the more upset Liu Mingzhi became, and the joy of taking over the eastern part of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region disappeared.
"Report! Report to the Commander-in-Chief, General Ning Chao and General Feng Buer are still ten miles away from the camp and will meet with him!"
"Report! Commander of the cavalry, the army led by Vice General Song will arrive at Xiuxun Kingdom in thirty-five miles, and they will meet up with the army soon!"
Liu Mingzhi looked happy. The meeting between the Song and Qing Dynasties showed that countries such as Xiye Kingdom and Khotan Kingdom had already conquered.
The entire eastern part of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region is officially under the control of the Western Expedition Army. As long as the remaining major countries are captured, the Western Region will all be included in the territory of Dalong.
The inclusion of the Western Region into Dalong's territory and the reopening of the Silk Road meant that the weakness of the cavalry would completely break the monopoly and containment of Turkic war horses.
The Hetao Heshuo Grassland will also appear in the bloody mouth of the Western Regions and Ganzhou and Suzhou. This natural pasture that has been separated from the rule of the Han family for hundreds of years will return to the rule of Dalong in the near future!
Putting on his helmet, Liu Mingzhi rushed out of the camp with all his armor on. He couldn't wait to see Song Qing and the other three, and even the good news they brought.
With the sun setting in the west, Ning Chao, Song Qing and his army finally rushed to the camp one after another, and the soldiers began to set up camp!
"See the Marshal!"
Liu Mingzhi looked excitedly at Song and Qing, who had equally excited faces. It had been four months since Che Shiguo had not seen each other.
The expressions of several people were a little tired, but their eyes became sharper. At first glance, they could see the marks left by the baptism of blood and fire.
"Hurry and take a seat! Have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
After a few cups of tea, everyone calmed down from their excitement.
Liu Mingzhi stared at Song Qing and others with earnest eyes: "How is the situation? Has it been captured?"
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, after the expedition, all the thirty-six and twenty-nine countries in the Western Region have been included in my dragon territory!"
"Okay, great. I've been waiting for this news until my hair turned gray. You really didn't disappoint me. How are the battle losses?"
Song Qing sighed sadly: "There are more than 4,400 people, and there are more than 28,000 soldiers of the Western Region Kingdom!"
Ning Chao Feng Buer also had a sad expression on his face: "In the end, more than 10,300 generals were killed in the battle, and more than 36,000 soldiers were killed in the Western Regions!"
Feng Buer gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Mingzhi quietly: "Commander, it's not that the last general and General Ning Chao are incompetent. When they attacked Zi Heguo, the physical strength of the soldiers was a little weak for no reason. The military doctor couldn't find out the reason. He was so acclimatized that even the speed of the horse's attack was significantly reduced, and he was caught off guard by Zi Heguo's defenders. Please punish the general!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a sad face: "Is the border of Zihe Kingdom Congling?"
"That's right, the southeast of Zihe Country is the outer area of Congling. Could it be that the reason why the brothers are weak has something to do with Congling?"
"It's not your fault, it's my lack of consideration. I feel sorry for those brothers who died in the war!"
"Commander, none of my brothers regret it. I will be honored as a man immediately, and I will be proud to die in battle. Since my brothers have decided to go west with the commander, they have already made plans to sacrifice their lives for righteousness!"
"That's right, before the brothers die, let the general give the commander a word of respect for himself!"
"Say, I will definitely keep it in mind!"
Liu Mingzhi did not refer to himself as my commander, but replaced him with me. His words are words between brothers, and there is no distinction between positions.
"Brothers, please take care of yourself, Marshal, and wait for them to go on an expedition with the Marshal in eighteen years and return home with honor!"
Liu Mingzhi's blood-red and majestic eyes were full of tears. He tightly held the Heavenly Sword in his hand and stared at the torches in the sky in a daze.
"Okay, let's go out again in eighteen years!"
