The main hall of the General's Mansion, Yingzhou Protector.
A huge sand table was placed in the main hall, with nearly a hundred candlesticks placed around it. It had not yet been lit because of the darkness.
King Zhongwu Yunyang held a slender bamboo pole in his hand and stood at the main seat on the sand table. The other three sides were surrounded by no less than fifty generals, large and small, all listening intently to Yunyang, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
Yunyang raised his eyes and fixed the bamboo pole in his hand on the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.
"Everyone, I have decided to take the lead in attacking the Kingdom of Jin after leaving the border this time.
There are two reasons for this.
First of all, compared to the Turks, the Jin Kingdom is more like our big dragons who defend the city. Compared with the Turks who live in no fixed places and are nomadic and herding horses, we can better determine the main target of attack.
Compared with the Turks who mainly rely on cavalry and are good at attacking and fighting, the Jin Kingdom defended the city and could give full play to the advantages of our artillery and concentrate the artillery power to maximize the number of enemy troops.
This is not the case with the Turks. The cavalry is fast and the advantage of our artillery cannot exert much power. In addition, the artillery is heavy and heavy. Once the enemy cavalry launches a roundabout attack, our artillery will almost become a pile of useless iron lumps.
A lot of shells were wasted, but the enemy heads harvested were very few.
Therefore, by taking the lead in targeting the Kingdom of Jin, we can maximize our advantages.
It was only a few months before our master returned to court last year, and the city walls of the Kingdom of Jin that had fallen to our dragon cavalry were already in dilapidated condition.
Even though the Kingdom of Jin wanted to spend a lot of money to repair the city, but the heavy snow fell continuously, there was no chance to repair it as good as before. Even if it was repaired by force, the gold and jade would be ruined on the outside.
It's not strong at all.
The weather at the end of last year and the beginning of this year did not give them much chance.
Therefore, attacking the current Jin Kingdom city is much more reliable than fighting the Turks on the grassland. "
Yunyang looked around at the generals and nodded frequently. There was no one who objected. He turned the position of the bamboo pole in his hand and pointed it at the border between the Jin Kingdom and the Turks.
"Secondly, with the power of our great dragon's millions of troops, any one of the two countries is unmatched. I conclude that the two countries will definitely support each other this time to resist the forces of our great dragon's heavenly army. Front.
And we took the lead in attacking the Kingdom of Jin, knowing that the great Turkic Khan Huyan Yunyao, who was dead and cold, would definitely not stand by and watch, because our current military strength no longer gave her the opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. After we conquered the Kingdom of Jin in one go, the remaining The troops under his command were enough to frighten the Turkic soldiers and horses.
Hu Yanjunyao wants to see us competing with the golden snipe and clams for fishermen’s profit, but it’s just wishful thinking.
In this way, once our offensive against the Jin Kingdom starts, the Turkic soldiers and horses will definitely rush to the Jin Kingdom's aid quickly.
In this case, we only need to select one city as the best offensive route, and we can use one against two to encircle the Turkic troops and horses to support the Jin Kingdom.
The Turkic reinforcements entering the Jin Kingdom meant that their greatest advantage would be suppressed to the minimum.
If you want to aid the Kingdom of Jin, you must first give up the advantage of their cavalry speed, and they will suffer a double blow from our artillery fire, weapons and armor.
At that time, it seems that we are uniting our forces to attack only one country, but in reality, we have already pulled the Turkic soldiers into the water, greatly saving the time to dominate the world. "
"My commander-in-chief's deployment for this battle is roughly the same. If anyone has different ideas, just speak up.
This Northern Expedition is related to our country, Dalong, our country, and our foundation for eternity. You can speak out and brainstorm. "
Yunyang took back the bamboo pole, sat on a chair and drank some tea to moisten his throat, leaving time for the other generals to think about their battle plans.
The generals' eyes wandered upstream of the sand table, recalling Yunyang's previous deployment in their minds, and wondering if there was a more reasonable approach.
A guard quietly walked into the hall, whispered into Yunyang's ear.
Yunyang, who was drinking tea, narrowed his eyes and blurted out: "What? Secret information or transmission?"
A group of generals who were thinking about countermeasures subconsciously turned their attention to Yunyang, not knowing what happened that would make Commander Yun suddenly lose his temper.
"The news was not concealed from anyone."
Hearing this, Yunyang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and put the teacup in his hand aside.
"General Cheng and the others are under the command of the prince. It is natural for the prince to summon them. No need to ask, just go down first."
"Yes, I resign from my humble position!"
"Commander, what big thing happened?"
"It's nothing. King Bingjian has gone to the north and returned to his home. If you have time, please go and pay a visit. After all, in northern Xinjiang, King Bingjian always oversees the military and political affairs of the 27th Mansion. It would be rude for us not to show up."
Everyone nodded with complicated eyes.
"We have the order."
"Continue to think of countermeasures and try your best to come up with a perfect plan. Everyone, your fame, fortune and fame are all in this battle!"
"Got the order!"
As many people fell into thinking again, more than a dozen younger generals, informed by their own guards, nodded to Yunyang and left the main hall one after another with light movements.
Yunyang was left with a calm face but a hint of worry hidden in his eyes.
In the martial arts arena of the Prince's Palace, dozens of low tables were arranged in two rows, with tea, snacks and other items placed on the tables.
Liu Mingzhi held a pair of scissors in his hand and was bending over to make gestures in front of a potted plant.
This is a potted plant planted by Qi Ya herself. Spring has returned to the earth, and the potted plant has just been stained with a little green. It has always been carefully cared for by the maids. Now that it is in the hands of Young Master Liu, who knows what it will become.
Liu Mingzhi picked some branches that didn't feel good and cut them off. As for whether they conformed to Qi Ya's aesthetics or not, Liu Mingzhi didn't care.
At worst, a course of reversing the car into the warehouse in Subject 2 would calm down Sister Ya's anger.
"Master, the generals have entered the house."
"please!"
"yes."
Liu Mingzhi put down the scissors in his hand, cleaned his hands in the copper basin on the side, and picked up the towel laid out to wipe them.
The sound of orderly footsteps came, and Liu Mingzhi looked towards the entrance of the martial arts arena.
I saw twenty or thirty people, mainly from Song Qing, divided into two rows, all in armor, walking towards Young Master Liu talking and laughing.
Sensing Liu Mingzhi's gaze, Cheng Kai and the others quickly stopped talking and walked towards Young Master Liu with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Let's see the commander-in-chief."
Liu Mingzhi put aside the towel he was wiping his hands with, glanced at the general who was kneeling on the ground, and frowned slightly.
"Um?"
Listening to Young Master Liu's questioning nasal voice, a group of generals looked embarrassed.
"We see King Side by Side, who is a thousand years old."
"No gifts, please take your seats!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi opened his clothes and knelt down in front of the low table, clapped his hands gently, and Liu Song led a group of young and beautiful maids into the martial arts arena with tea in hand.
He replaced the brewed tea with the teapot in front of a group of generals and then consciously retreated.
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea cup and gestured: "I won't invite you to drink today, just drink some tea."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
A group of people watched Young Master Liu slowly taste the tea and drank it in the same way.
But most of them are just arty. Letting a group of old men drink tea is just like chewing peonies. It’s not that there are people who don’t know how to taste tea. It’s good if you can pick out four or five out of thirty people.
Liu Mingzhi played with the tea cup in his hand and glanced at the people who were all staring at him.
"Now, do you still listen to my words?"
Everyone put down their teacups without hesitation, walked out of the low table and knelt down to salute: "I am willing to be the commander-in-chief... The prince will go through fire and water, no matter what."
"Why are you so excited? Sit back, you are a bunch of idiots. They have grown a year older in vain and have not become stable at all."
Hearing Liu Mingzhi's angrily cursing, the faces of the group of people gradually became happy, and they happily returned to their seats and sat down.
"Wang... Marshal, let's call him Marshal. The prince is really not used to it."
"That's right, Commander, don't talk to the brothers online in private."
"Yes, you will always be the unique commander in the hearts of our brothers."
"To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the imperial court's order, the general would really not be willing to go on an expedition under Marshal Yun, and he would feel uneasy with his strictness."
"Me too. I almost hear what Mr. Yun says in one ear and out the other, but I have to obey orders."
"Commander, why don't we all brothers request an order from His Majesty? Let us three hundred thousand brothers form our own army and go out to fight."
Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup and picked up the pot to refill the cup: "Have you all found the position you want?"
As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, the expressions of the thirty people who were talking to each other quickly became gloomy, and their eyes became a little sad.
"Commander, brothers almost...almost..."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Cheng Kai who was hesitant to speak, and raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to say anything.
"Brothers, you have followed me, Liu Mingzhi, for many years in the north and south. Whether I beat you or scold you, now that you are here today, Liu Mingzhi is very grateful."
"Commander, all the brothers who followed you are rich and powerful. Let alone beating us and scolding us, even if you kill us, the brothers will not even blink an eye."
"Lao Cheng is right. We are all promoted by the commander-in-chief. Without the commander-in-chief, we would not be where we are today."
"I'm serious. I have called you here today for no other reason than to tell you one thing."
"Please give me your orders, Commander-in-Chief."
"Save your life, perform meritorious service, bring your brothers back, let's go and fight."
"I, the King, will take care of everything for you!"
"Three hundred thousand brothers, if they all die in your hands, you won't come back to see me alive."
The generals' eyes gradually became fanatical as their eyes dimmed.
"Commander, can he really let go and fight like he did under your command?"
