The study room of the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin.
The little cutie was kneeling behind the dragon table, carefully sorting out the memorials of the past few days. When she heard the footsteps approaching, the little cutie subconsciously looked up and saw her mother, with a gloomy face, walking towards the hall.
Seeing this, the little cutie swallowed her saliva and gave up her position very wisely. She huddled in the corner of the dragon table like a little maid who was often angry, and silently sorted out the memorials on the table.
The queen glanced at the little cutie, her heavy eyes flashed with a touch of softness and helplessness.
Do you think I am the kind of person who is unreasonable and gets angry with anyone? As for being so afraid of me?
The queen never understood that when her daughter was most naughty in front of her, she would just jokingly call her "old woman", but as soon as her face darkened, she would immediately turn into a good girl.
She immediately became lawless in front of her father. After getting into trouble, no matter how gloomy her father's face was, she dared to bargain cheerfully with a smile, without the slightest worry that her father would do something harsh to her.
The queen was puzzled. There was such a big difference between a biological father and a biological mother.
However, Liu Mingzhi's status was not as noble as his own, and his aura was not as dignified as the way he treated her.
However, Liu Mingzhi's aura of being a soldier was far beyond what he could compare with.
Ordinary people would feel numb when being stared at by Liu Mingzhi for a while, and would feel a faint chill running down their spines.
This is a common problem among people who come off the battlefield. The evil spirit on their bodies will make people shudder.
But this stinky girl was able to completely ignore her father's 'ferocious' look of wanting to hit her when he was angry.
"Yue'er, what did your father tell you that day?"
The queen straightened her clothes, knelt down and sat down, and started her daily routine again.
Since returning to the capital, such a scene has been staged every day in the palace.
Although the little cutie gritted her teeth and refused to mention what her father said that day, the queen still took the trouble to ask questions every day.
As expected, the little cutie silently sorted out the memorial in her hand and raised her eyes to glance at her mother.
"I didn't say anything. Daddy said he would miss Yue'er, that's all he said!"
"Really? Then the two mysterious men in black who sent you a letter a few nights ago must have been written by your father, right? What did his letter say?"
The little cutie paused in arranging the memorial, and her big eyes started to spin.
"Yes... is there? Why doesn't Yue'er know? Maybe she's looking in the wrong place. After Yue'er fell asleep, her dreams were very sweet, and she didn't know anything."
The queen stared at the little cutie's quibbling appearance, shook her head helplessly, and secretly wondered what kind of ecstasy soup the unscrupulous man had poured into her.
Is this child still the daughter who knew everything and always answered all questions?
He knew in his heart that the reason why his daughter was so confident was because he knew that he would not do anything to her.
The Queen didn't bother to argue with her anymore. She was already overwhelmed by the army's invasion, so she had no time to focus on trivial matters like what the father and daughter said.
"Your Majesty, the king of the town, Mr. Yeluha is outside the palace asking for an audience."
"pass!"
"According to the order!"
"His Majesty summoned Yeluha, and Wanyan Chizha entered the palace to see him."
The sound of two footsteps that were twice as heavy as when the Queen entered the palace was heard. Wanyan Chiazha, Yeluha and the two walked in hand in hand.
"Old minister Wanyan is awesome."
"Old minister Yeruha."
"See Your Majesty, long live the King."
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Hui'er, look at the tea!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Hello, uncle. Hello, grandpa Yale."
Wanyan Chiezha and the other two immediately looked at the little cutie happily: "Hey, Yue'er is good!"
"Hello Princess Yue'er, I'm so polite."
The Queen directly interrupted the little cutie who was about to say a few words and looked at Wan Yan and Chi Zha calmly.
"Uncle Wang, dear dear, do you really have no good strategy to defend against the enemy? You can only watch helplessly as the enemy troops approach the city and trample on our Dajin territory? Do you want to let them leap on their horses and whip their whips?"
Wan Yan and Chi Zha looked at the unwillingness in Queen Hao's eyes, looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
“Your Majesty, it’s not that we don’t have a good strategy to defend against the enemy, but the momentum of the dragon’s troops is too great. Even if we have a city to defend it, we don’t have much chance of winning.
According to past experience, as long as the dragon artillery bombards it in three rounds and two rounds, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be reduced to ruins.
At that time, it will be a naked attack and killing battle between the two armies.
We only have 400,000 soldiers and horses with all our strength. How can we be the opponent of a million-strong army?
If Dalong had no artillery, Lao Chen and Brother Yale could join forces and rely on the strength of the city wall and the dangerous mountains and rivers in the country to block Dalong's attack for a year and a half.
It's a pity that there is no if, the dragon's artillery is completely unreasonable.
At the moment, the old minister really can't think of any way to resist the dragon's advance.
Unless the divine soldiers descend from heaven to solve my big gold dilemma. "
Yeruha sighed softly and nodded in agreement: "The prince is right. If the dragon is still divided into two groups, according to the countermeasures we discussed before, it is possible to resist them. Although the hope is slim, there is still a chance. Multiplyable.
Now that their millions of troops are concentrated in one place, I can't think of anything that can stop their attack.
Any city will eventually become a ruin under its iron cavalry. "
Wanyan's old eyes looked at the Queen with a sign of struggle.
"Your Majesty, if it doesn't work out, you can lead the people to retreat to the ancestral land north of Changbai Mountain. Maybe Yue'er will have a chance to make a comeback in the future. I hope that your Majesty will prepare for the worst."
The Queen was startled, and looked at Wanyan Chizha's helpless expression with bright eyes.
"Is the inheritance of the ancestors of the Wanyan family going to be lost in my hands? How can I have the face to meet my ancestors who are alive in heaven in the future?"
"Alas... Your Majesty, this is the worst plan. Either the country will perish or go dormant. There is no other way to go.
Although this kid Liu Mingzhi is not too old and his character is even worse, he is extremely unique in the use of soldiers. He is experienced and ruthless. He is good at using strange weapons to win with surprise. He will often surprise you and stab you in the heart.
The last time we combined our forces to move south, if there hadn't been a problem with the troops behind Dalong, all the elite troops of our Jin Kingdom and Turks would have been annihilated in their encirclement.
At that time, the Turks of the Jin Kingdom were already dead in name only.
Since the veteran led the army, he had never admired anyone before Liu Mingzhi appeared, but the veteran admired him Liu Mingzhi.
Although he was the enemy commander, the veteran still admired his military skills. "
"The old minister also agrees with the prince's intention. Your Majesty lives in the rear and is not on the frontline battlefield. He has never seen the methods of Dalong and Wang Liumingzhi.
It can be said that whether it is running an army or using soldiers, this person has few rivals in the world.
The power of the 300,000 cavalry under his command is far beyond the comparison of the famous Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang.
Let's put it this way, I have never seen any soldiers of the first guard fight so desperately and work so hard for their commander.
During the last national war, as soon as Liu Mingzhi appeared and waved the flag in his hand, no matter how many people were in front of him, his cavalry dared to rush forward with their swords waving and howling.
As long as he gives the order to withdraw his troops, even if your majesty, the king of a country, will be captured alive to take credit, those soldiers and horses will turn around and retreat without caring.
The military order is as clear as a mountain on his body.
The lives of the soldiers under his command no longer seemed to be his, but belonged entirely to their commander Liu Mingzhi. "
"What Brother Yale said is extremely pertinent. After several battles, the veteran is also afraid of the soldiers and horses under his command. Not to mention, your Majesty must have heard about General Futuwei under his command last year!
According to the rules tacitly agreed to by our Three Kingdoms, a general like Duan Canren will definitely be redeemed unharmed after the war.
However, he led his 3,000 cavalry and 15,600 Turkic soldiers and horses until they killed the last person. Duan Buren was also killed by dozens of spears.
I have never seen such a bloody man who faces life and death, whether it is Dalong, Turks or our Jin Kingdom, but there are many of them under his command, Liu Mingzhi. "
The Queen stared blankly at the frightened expressions of Wan Yan and Chi Zha: "How did he train his troops? Can we imitate it? If the twelve guards and horses are such a strong army that has experienced hundreds of battles, they may not be unable to resist the incoming dragon. .”
Wanyan Chiezha shook his head with a regretful look on his face: "I can't learn from this!"
"Why?"
"silver!"
"Huh? What does it have to do with silver?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know. After seeing the strength of Liu Mingzhi's troops, I was naturally moved. Therefore, after returning from defeat last time, I spent a lot of manpower and material resources to go to Dalong to investigate the matter.
Later, I finally got the reason for the incident, but I could only look at the plum blossoms to quench my thirst.
The old minister is definitely not talking nonsense, but there is really no way. "
Seeing the Queen's curious look, Wanyan Chizha sighed silently: "Does Your Majesty know the food situation of Dalong's soldiers and horses?"
The Queen nodded understandingly: "Of course I know that soldiers eat meat every ten days, and those who perform small feats will be rewarded with silver taels."
"Yes, Your Majesty is right, our Kingdom of Jin is also following the example of Dalong.
So does your Majesty know how the soldiers and horses under Liu Mingzhi prepare meals? "
"No...not sure."
"Your Majesty, one meal for three days and one wine for one month. Salary and money will be distributed as scheduled. Pensions will never be withheld. Those who have meritorious service will receive three times their salary. The families of fallen soldiers will be supported by the military.
During the non-war period, they would conduct a military exercise called Sheep Capture every ten days.
The winning guard was given wine and meat for the day's meal, while the losing guard had to eat dry biscuits and watch them eat.
That's why such a roaring and killing army was created.
Your Majesty, all the people who serve in the army are poor people who don’t have enough to eat. You said that in the military camp, you live a life every day that you may not have at home during the New Year. How can the soldiers not work hard for the commander?
Liu Mingzhi regarded them as brothers, and they naturally regarded the commander as brothers.
What I shouldn't say is that if I were to follow such a commander, I would be willing to risk my life for him.
He will obey his orders at all costs. "
The Queen's delicate body trembled, and she stared blankly at Wanyan Chiezha: "How is it possible that he spent so much money to support 300,000 soldiers and horses? Where did he get so much money?"
"Naturally, Dalong Household Department spends money from the treasury."
"That's even more impossible. The Sixth Guards of Dalong Beijiang, who are also frontier troops, don't receive such treatment!"
Wanyan Chizha glanced at the Queen with complicated eyes: "Your Majesty, in fact, the salary and money spent by the Ministry of Household Affairs in various countries can reach the level of Liu Mingzhi in the hands of soldiers and horses, but looking at the world, only Liu Mingzhi can do it. He will not deduct a penny from his soldiers.
The money that belongs to the soldiers can naturally do this. Your Majesty understands what the old minister means. "
The Queen sneered and nodded: "I understand, because Liu Mingzhi's family has a great business and a strong foundation, and there is no need to deduct money from the soldiers.
But the rest of the soldiers were exploited at all levels. Even if the court explicitly prohibited it, some people would still take risks for money.
The same is true for Daikin, right? "
Wan Yan and Chi Zha looked at each other and nodded with a wry smile: "Human nature is so bad that there is nothing we can do about it."
"That is to say, only he, Liu Mingzhi, managed to spend every penny on the soldiers."
"Yes, that's exactly the case, so we can't learn from it. Not only can we not learn from it, Dalong's six northern border guards can't learn from it, let alone the Turks.
Looking at the world, everyone may be short of money, but he, Liu Mingzhi, will not be short of money.
The little bit his father leaked from the cracks of his fingers to him was enough for someone else to embezzle a lifetime of income.
He treats his soldiers wholeheartedly, and his soldiers will naturally work hard for him. "
"In the last national war, half of his soldiers and horses went to the Turks, and half of his soldiers and horses were in our country of Jin. Even so, he captured half of our country of Jin. Now he leads a million troops to attack our country of Jin.
The old minister really has no confidence that he can withstand 300,000 battle-hardened cavalry who are as dead as soldiers, plus 700,000 elite troops! "
"The old minister seconded the proposal. In this battle, the old minister can only accompany the prince to fight to the death to protect my last dignity of Dai Jin."
The Queen looked at Wan Yan and Chi Zha in astonishment as they sighed.
"I...when did I tell you that the person in charge is Liu Mingzhi, a heartless man?"
"Ah? Isn't it Liu Mingzhi who leads the troops? Apart from him, no one is more familiar with the situation of our two countries than him.
There is a saying in the Art of War: Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle. How could it be possible that he was not in command? "
"It's really not him, but the new Zhongwu King Yunyang of Dalong who is in command!"
"hiss.........."
"hiss..........."
The two of them took a deep breath: "Isn't it really Liu Mingzhi?"
"really not."
Wanyan stood up suddenly and started pacing in the hall.
"I have been dealing with this guy Yunyang for decades. Compared with Liu Mingzhi's elusive tactics, I know his military habits very well.
If he takes command, as long as the Turks come to help, there may not be a glimmer of hope! "
