Yunyang and the others listened to Young Master Liu's confident words and couldn't say anything else. What they wanted to say was of no use. The generals under his command were all deceived by others into reorganizing their armies and preparing for war. Now they have ordered to withdraw. Isn’t it too childish!
Military orders are not as simple as words.
The most taboo thing for generals is to change orders early and late. This will have a great impact on military morale and morale.
Moreover, Yunyang, Nangong Ye and the others had to admit that once Liu Mingzhi ordered the two of them, they could not stop, and there would not be much difference in the final result.
Although Liu Mingzhi had just passed them directly, his general's morale had been greatly improved.
The reason why everyone had such a reaction was nothing more than two words.
Heart palpitations!
If this battle is successful, Liu Mingzhi will be a veritable king of Northern Xinjiang.
With this victory, Liu Mingzhi's prestige in the 27 prefectures and 152 states of Northern Xinjiang will reach a peak that no one can reach.
Yunyangqi stroked his beard and sighed silently. He no longer dared to think about how the court would appease a vassal king who controlled only half of the country if Liu Mingzhi became disloyal.
As Yunyang people matured, they naturally had more things to consider. The strange look in the eyes of Nangong Ye and others did not escape Yunyang's gaze. He knew that more than one person should have such worrying thoughts.
Yunyang cleared his throat inadvertently and walked towards Young Master Liu with a warm expression.
"Your Majesty, if this national war returns victorious, the Turks and the Jin Kingdom will never be able to fight again for thirty years. What are your plans after the war is over?"
As soon as Yunyang finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Mingzhi. Not only Zhang Kuang, a veteran of Northern Xinjiang, but also Song Qing, Cheng Kai, and other old brothers who were with Young Master Liu, also looked at their commander with bright eyes. .
What Yunyang said was exactly what they wanted to know urgently.
Liu Mingzhi paused slightly as he prepared to put on the Heavenly Sword. He pretended not to feel the eyes of everyone and continued to put on the Heavenly Sword with a faint smile.
"If God gives us the opportunity to continue going north, we will naturally go all out to fight and help our Emperor rule the world."
"What if the imperial court cannot support it? The consumption of millions of troops is not a small amount just for food and grass. What's more, pensions and salaries are added together. Even if the national treasury fully supports us to continue the northern expedition, after unifying the world, we will still have dozens of There’s no way to slow down the year!”
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment and sighed: "Then I will write to Your Majesty and follow the example of Taizu Gao Emperor and ask the wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen among the people to come forward to donate food and grass to fight!"
"It won't work without fighting, Commander Yun. The Western side is already a problem that cannot be ignored. If the civil strife continues to become unstable, we will not only face the Jin Kingdom but also the Turkic two countries in the future!"
"Among all the people present, you, the old commander, have the highest qualifications. Don't you understand that when dealing with foreign affairs, you must first calm down at home?"
"No matter what, there must be a winner!"
Yunyang nodded silently. He knew that Liu Mingzhi was thinking about the overall situation, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute Liu Mingzhi's words.
Liu Mingzhi tidied up the flags on the sand table and looked around at everyone with a smile.
"Generals, I plan to divide the army into three and go south to seize the city, but the troops cannot be too scattered. When the time comes, the three armies must be able to rely on each other in the front, rear, and left."
"As for which three cities to attack first, you guys should come up with a complete solution. I have my own military affairs to deal with, so I won't continue to accompany you!"
"Deputy Commander Song!"
"The general is here!"
"You come with me, I have an important task for you!"
"Got the order!"
When Zhang Kuang saw Liu Mingzhi, Song Qing and others starting to walk out, he hesitated and hurriedly chased after them.
"Wait a moment, Commander Liu, the general wants to ask you some questions!"
"Let's talk as we walk!"
"Your Majesty, please!"
After the three people disappeared, Yunyang and the others gradually thought about it. It seemed that Liu Mingzhi had just been talking about how to get out of the north, and did not mention what to do after the victory of the war.
The answers he and others got were completely unrelated to the questions raised by Yunyang.
Yunyang's old eyes were filled with sparkle. He stared at the door of the mansion for a moment and then walked toward the sand table, stroking his beard, without saying anything more.
Yunyang knew in his heart that not only himself, but Nangong Ye, Dongfang Ming and others also gradually came to their senses.
Once you get a plausible answer, just understand it in your heart and there is no need to speak it out!
On the main road in the city, Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhang Kuang with a chuckle: "Uncle, if you have any questions, you can just say it. There is no need for us to be secretive between us."
Zhang Kuang weighed it up, glanced at the large group of soldiers coming and going on the street, and waited until they were far away before slowly approaching Young Master Liu.
"Commander Liu, after the soldiers and horses from the other five cities gathered in Yingzhou, all the heavy equipment was brought in, but the general has not touched all the equipment, especially sharp weapons like artillery!"
"All the artillery in the six cities of Northern Xinjiang, plus the artillery carried by the six guards of your new army when they went out, now the new and old artillery are added together, and the total number of usable artillery is only about 900!"
"As for the new artillery, apart from the ones you brought with you on your second expedition, there aren't many. Most of the six cities are still using the first batch of forged artillery!"
"You tell the brothers that we have 1,200 artillery pieces. What if we can't get them out when the army sets off tomorrow?"
"Three hundred artillery pieces are not three hundred men. This kind of thing is not a joke."
"Once a single artillery piece exerts its maximum power, it can equal the victory of 300 people attacking the city."
"Where did you ask the general to bring you three hundred artillery pieces in one day?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhang Kuang, who looked anxious, and glanced at Song Qing, whose brows were also slightly furrowed!
He raised his hand and patted Zhang Kuang's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
"Uncle, don't worry. Since I dare to say 1,200 artillery pieces, I will definitely have 1,200 artillery pieces! And you will be equipped with 50 rounds of sufficient shells for each artillery piece."
"Once the army comes to the city, you can just use your artillery to break the city. I will arrange the rest by myself!"
"Tujue, since the Jin army has entered the city to wait for death, I will definitely not miss this opportunity!"
"No matter what, the world must be unified this time!"
"You don't have to worry about artillery at all. If the commander says there is one, it will be there!"
Liu Mingzhi's confident look made Zhang Kuang startled. He stared at Young Master Liu's expression for a few times, and after confirming that Liu Mingzhi was not joking, Zhang Kuang began to think in silence.
After a long time, Zhang Kuang paused and suddenly turned his head to stare at Liu Mingzhi's side face.
Zhang Kuang grabbed Young Master Liu and walked toward the side of the people's alley. Song Qing suddenly didn't even react.
Song Qing came to his senses and hurriedly followed him, but he didn't know how to stop him. Zhang Kuang was still his uncle, and he couldn't do anything to him!
Zhang Kuang grabbed Liu Mingzhi's armor and pushed him against the wall, staring at Young Master Liu sternly.
"You brat, what do you want to do? I'm telling you, don't even think about changing it!"
Liu Mingzhi did not struggle, but quietly looked at Zhang Kuang's somewhat uneasy eyes and smiled.
"Uncle, who do you think this kid is! If I had thought of that, I could have done whatever I wanted in the capital a few years ago. Who could have stopped me at that time!"
"In order to repay the kindness of my father and the late emperor, I traveled thousands of miles to help the capital, and supported His Majesty to ascend the throne. The court gradually calmed down, and I went north to help Dalong unify the world!"
"Uncle, you also understand the matter between Wanyan and the boy!"
"The person who will inherit the Jin Kingdom's empire in the future is my own daughter. For the sake of the imperial court, I have to settle my own daughter's empire. My uncle actually thinks that I will take the initiative to have thoughts that I shouldn't!"
"Is Liu Mingzhi this kind of person in your heart?"
Zhang Kuang looked at Liu Mingzhi's eyes that were gradually deepening. His body shook and he subconsciously let go of his tightly grasped hands.
"I......I..."
Song Qing stepped in between the two of them at the right time, looking at Zhang Kuang with an embarrassed expression.
"Uncle, third brother is the most difficult person in this national war!"
"Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between loyalty and justice. What the third brother said just now makes me feel uncomfortable!"
"The Kingdom of Jin will be the home of his biological daughter Luo Yue in the future. In order to help the imperial court unify the world, Luo Yue came to the city to see father and daughter but was rejected by his third brother, uncle, you won't forget it!"
"He is the general marshal of the center, and he can be his own. However, in order to help you guard the country, our 300,000 brothers in the center suffered heavy casualties. Even one of the generals died in the battle!"
"How could you suspect that my third brother is disloyal?"
Zhang Kuang looked at Song Qing and didn't know what to say for a moment!
Liu Mingzhi pushed Song Qing aside and looked at Zhang Kuang calmly.
"Uncle, the pure will become clear, and the turbid will become turbid. Liu Mingzhi doesn't want to explain too much!"
"Liu Mingzhi tells you frankly that I have never taken the initiative to do anything. Believe it or not, see you tomorrow!"
"Farewell!"
Liu Mingzhi said the word "active" very forcefully. Looking at the arrogant and embarrassed expression on his face, Liu Mingzhi turned around and walked towards the main road.
Song Qing hesitated for a moment, gave Zhang Kuang an apologetic look and hurriedly chased after Young Master Liu.
"Third brother, listen to my explanation, uncle has no other intentions!"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Song Qing, who looked anxious, raised his hand and patted the fingerprints on his armor, and walked towards the military camp with a faint look!
Favor is not enough!
