After Liu Mingzhi returned to the camp, he directly pitched in the tent and surrounded the sand table to wait for Song Qing's arrival.
One by one, Liu Mingzhi held the flags in his hands and thought for a moment before inserting them into the undulating sand table one after another.
In about half a stick of incense, Song Qing, fully armored, hurried into the tent.
"The last general, Song Qing, was ordered to come to see the commander-in-chief."
Liu Mingzhi said nothing, and waved his hand to signal Song Qing to wait aside, his eyes never leaving the position on the sand table.
Seeing this, Song Qing walked gently to the sand table and watched Liu Mingzhi's every move in silence.
After about two sticks of incense, Liu Mingzhi planted the last flag and patted the dust from his palms.
"Have you seen my commander's intention?"
"There seems to be a clear understanding, but there are some things that are not clear!
I wonder what the commander-in-chief means? "
Liu Mingzhi walked to the table and poured two cups of tea, indicating to Song Qing to help himself, then picked up the tea and tasted it slowly.
"Today on the tributary of the Moro River, I played a game of chess with my junior brother, and then made a bet."
"May I ask, Marshal, what kind of bet is this?"
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and was silent for a while, then softly narrated.
After drinking tea, Liu Mingzhi succinctly explained to Song Qinghe his agreement with Huyan Yunyao and the two empresses to use military formations instead of duels to determine the ownership of the world.
Song Qing held his chin and thought for a while, turned his head and glanced at the sand table beside him, and looked at Liu Mingzhi thoughtfully.
"Since the soldiers are replaced by sand table simulations to duel, what is the commander's intention?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Song Qing's slightly confused eyes, with a strong expression of struggle.
After drinking the tea in the cup, Liu Mingzhi sat on the commander's chair with his sword raised. Hesitantly took out the tiger talisman of the armies from his arms, took out the commander's seal on the table, and pushed it away together. Arriving in front of Song Qing.
"This is the tiger talisman commander's seal that commands the troops and horses of the three armies. It is now in your charge!"
The tea cup in Song Qing's hand trembled involuntarily, and he looked at Liu Mingzhi's troubled expression with deep brows.
"Commander...Commander, what does this mean?"
Liu Mingzhi stood up and walked towards the sand table, raising his hand to point to the spot on the sand table where he had inserted the flag.
"If I lose the military formation duel in three days, you will immediately order the three armies to divide the soldiers into three groups and launch a full-scale charge against the Turks.
All the way directly from the Moro tribe to the west, they marched towards the Turkic royal court and took the Turkic royal tent directly.
They detoured all the way to the southeast Tatar tribe to launch an attack, stormed the city and cleared out all the Turkic tribes in the area between the Tatar tribe and the Turkic royal court, until finally marching to the Turkic royal court.
They went all the way north and detoured to the Zadun tribe, about eighty miles due south of the Yinshan Mountains behind the Turks. Starting from the Zadun tribe, they slowly advanced southward, completely cutting off the Turkic army's retreat route through the Yinshan Mountains to escape to Mobei.
If the Turkic tribes encountered on the way were willing to surrender, their weapons would be confiscated and some soldiers and horses would be sent to guard them in place to try to delay the time for the news to leak out.
Those who are unwilling to surrender and insist on fighting the dragon to the death.
All fighting soldiers, no matter men, women, old or young, those who dare to resist will not be spared!
I don’t care how you attack the Turks.
I want you to defeat all the Turkic soldiers and horses in the shortest time and the fastest way to advance, and complete the unification of the world in one fell swoop.
Brother, you have a heavy burden and responsibility in this battle. "
Song Qing was stunned as he looked at Liu Mingzhi, who looked serious and spoke with murderous intent. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Didn't you just...just...didn't you say that you were going to have a military formation deduction with Huyan Yunyao, the Taichang Khan of the Huyan Royal Court, and Wanyan Wanyuan, the golden queen, to represent the soldiers? A showdown between two armies?
Since I have made a blood oath, why do you still need me to do... such an act? "
"So I just said that after my defeat, you immediately commanded the soldiers of the three armies to launch a full-scale attack on the Turks."
Song Qing was stunned for a moment before realizing the profound meaning contained in Liu Mingzhi's words.
"I...I understand, I understand, but isn't it too shameful to do this?
We generals who follow orders have nothing to do, but you, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces who gave the order, will be infamy in the history books for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.
Even if the treacherous villain's behavior will make the dragon dominate the world, your reputation will be completely ruined!
Moreover........"
Song Qing looked nervous as Liu Mingzhi pushed the Tiger Fu Commandery Seal in front of him to order the three armies.
"Besides, you also know this about my abilities. If you ask me to lead troops and horses to charge into battle, I will definitely fight to the death. But if you ask me to command an army of more than 800,000 soldiers, how can I have this ability!
This is not a battalion of soldiers and horses or several battalions of soldiers and horses. I can give it a try even if I have one or several guards and horses.
There are more than 800,000 soldiers and officers in the three armies. I can't handle it at all! "
"Didn't I already formulate a marching plan for you? As long as you act according to the plan, everything will be fine.
A few small errors will not change the overall situation! "
"But is this really a good thing?
Huyan Yunyao is not only your senior brother from the same sect, but also your enamored daughter who has made a bet to marry you both male and female.
Now you are no longer just a simple commander-in-chief of the three armies, but also the current emperor of Dalong and the king of a country.
When you are an emperor, you don't have to talk nonsense, you should keep your words to the letter.
You break your trust and commit despicable deeds behind your back. Even if you rule the world, how will you govern the world and convince all people after you return to the court?
Third brother, think twice before you act.
The overall situation is important! "
Liu Mingzhi clenched his fists and shook his head with a sigh.
"Brother, I act like this because I put the overall situation first.
Just based on the current situation, women cannot be kind.
Each generation has its own mission.
The mission of our generation is to unify the world and then allow all people in the world to recuperate and become stronger and stronger.
In this Northern Expedition, if I, brother, cannot complete my success in one battle, the Turks will regain their vitality and grow stronger.
What will be left to our children and grandchildren will be endless troubles.
The mission of the next generation should not be to help their ancestors clean up the mess left by their ancestors' temporary benevolence towards women.
Instead, they have a longer-term vision. Their mission should be to expand their territory and benefit all people.
If the world cannot be unified this time, you and I will have to pay a greater price to face the powerful Turkic steppe a hundred years from now.
What's more, if the successor is an incompetent person with little ambition and talent.
Not to mention whether we can unify the world, we may even lose the foundation that our predecessors have laid down with their lives and blood.
Brothers don't dare to gamble, and they can't gamble.
Can't even afford to gamble.
It doesn't matter whether you will be infamy or infamy for all eternity by doing this.
I don’t even care about Liu Mingzhi.
Liu Mingzhi, who killed the king and usurped the throne, was already going to be infamy for thousands of years. For the sake of future generations, there was no harm in carrying a little more notoriety.
Our generation has spent half of its life in the military, and half of its body is buried in the loess.
You have to leave something for future generations!
Alas, the world must be unified without delay, and no more mistakes can occur.
If the brothers can win, it will be God's blessing to unify the world without bloodshed.
If my brother is defeated, the task of unifying the world will have to be left to you soldiers who guard the land and borders! "
Song Qing looked at Liu Mingzhi's calm expression with a struggling expression.
“I understand your concerns, but I still think it’s inappropriate.
You are now a king, and your words and deeds will be imitated by everyone in the world.
Furthermore, even if it is a military formation deduction, it is still based on actual military forces.
The Turks have less than 300,000 elite soldiers and horses, and the old, weak, sick and disabled combined forces cannot gather 400,000 soldiers and horses.
We have more than 800,000 and nearly 900,000 elite troops, and we are absolutely sure of victory.
What do you have to worry about? "
"Brother, there is no such thing as a victorious general in the world. People make mistakes, horses stumble, everything is possible.
Everything I told you was prepared for the worst.
All the premise is based on the fact that you will act like this after our army fails in the duel.
Junior Brother's military skills are very strong and should not be underestimated.
She could deal with it with the determination to subjugate the country and exterminate the clan, but her brother could not face the enemy with the determination to win a miserable victory without any chance of survival.
This alone puts me at a disadvantage!
Besides..."
Song Qing looked at Liu Mingzhi, whose expression suddenly became strange, and frowned: "What?"
