"As I said last time, they know that it is not advisable to attack Jialing Pass, but they have to plot Jialing Pass." Ge Long thought for a moment and said, "And they know that we will definitely have a battle with them, so this There’s no rush.”
"They want to wait for us to get anxious before fighting us on the plains." Fengwu Marquis Andrew also nodded and said.
"Then what should we do?" Emerson, the Marshal of the Sidney Kingdom among the four kingdoms, suddenly said impatiently.
Ge Long glanced at him and saw directly why he was so anxious. After all, the Star Luo Empire currently occupied the territory of the four kingdoms.
Although within this month, due to the situation, the four major kingdoms withdrew from their own territories to the areas directly under the Tiandou Empire in Jialing Pass, the belongings of the nobles of these kingdoms were also basically transferred out.
But they couldn't take away the most valuable land and mansion.
If it weren't for them, even if they stayed, the Star Luo Empire wouldn't be able to keep the land and mansions that belonged to them when they occupied the four kingdoms.
They might even lose their lives, so they were unwilling to withdraw.
At this time, they naturally hoped that the Tiandou Empire's coalition forces would quickly defeat the Star Luo Empire and drive the Star Luo Empire back so that they could go back.
The nobles of the four major kingdoms all have similar thoughts. Maybe the principalities below are eager to stay in the Tiandou Empire and re-merge the principalities into the directly controlled areas of the Tiandou Empire.
However, the four major kingdoms are relatively independent, and the city level is not inferior to that of the areas directly under the Tiandou Empire. The nobles of the kingdoms are relatively satisfied with the current situation, and even feel that the areas directly under the Tiandou Empire are not as good as them.
Therefore, they particularly hoped that this would regain their territory. In the original plot, the four kingdoms betrayed the Tiandou Empire without any objection.
More on this later.
Ge Long temporarily comforted Emerson and said solemnly, "Don't be anxious for now, why should we be anxious? With Jialing Pass and the empire's thousands of miles of territory at our back, we can attack at any time. It can be said that we can advance and attack, retreat and defend. They are also anxious, but..."
He looked at Lu Yuan at this time, "In this case, we can have a plan to try."
Lu Yuan saw Ge Long's eyes and immediately understood that he was actually going with Ge Long.
"What's the plan?" But others were confused, especially the marshals of the four kingdoms, who asked in unison anxiously.
"Go deep into the enemy's rear and attack their food and grass." Ge Long said with a smile, "The food and grass for the Star Luo Empire's frontline army at this time must be transported from within the Star Luo Empire, and the supply troop routes that need to transport food and grass, if there is no accident, they It will definitely pass through the Lima Plain."
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
And the five major military princes didn't have much hope for them at all. The combined forces of the four major kingdoms could only assist the Tiandou Empire's army on the frontal battlefield.
As for what key role they are expected to play, Ge Long and others have really not thought about it.
Therefore, when Ge Long proposed this time, he did not originally intend to send any of the four kingdoms to carry out the task of cutting off the Star Luo Empire's food and grass, and his thoughts were clear when he looked at Lu Yuan.
But when Horace said this, he obviously had his own selfish motives.
Even before the war started, the Tiandou Empire was already divided, which was not a good thing.
Goron looked at Horace and frowned, and then he looked at the other marshals of the other three kingdoms calmly.
In fact, before Horace said it, the marshals of the three kingdoms had no idea. When Horace said this, their eyes suddenly flickered.
Apparently he had the same idea as Horace.
Only the Marshal of the Balak Kingdom, although his eyes flickered for a moment, he quickly raised his gaze and became firm.
Everyone present could immediately tell at a glance that the Marshal of the Balak Kingdom should be planning to support the Tiandou Empire no matter what.
Gelong's expression softened slightly, but he still looked at Horace and snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I already have my heart set on this mission."
"Duke Tianying carried out a guerrilla mission to harass enemy lines one month ago, and the strategy was successfully implemented." He softened his expression slightly towards Lu Yuan, and then said, "It is precisely because Duke Tianying successfully carried out guerrilla missions that Let your four kingdoms be able to evacuate smoothly within one month."
This is indeed true, because the guerrillas of the Tianying Army and the Tiandou Royal Knights intercepted grain and grass and harassed the Star Luo Empire's supply troops, so that the Star Luo Empire has been unable to quickly organize a large army to directly conquer the four kingdoms and many principalities. .
Not only does it draw all the Star Luo Empire's attention to the supply troops behind the Principality of Hel and Zhennang Pass, the most important thing is that every time Lu Yuan leads the Tiandou Royal Knights, he can burn part of the Star Luo Empire's food and grass. .
The soldiers and horses should move forward before food and grass are used, but once the food and grass are insufficient, it will naturally be impossible to mobilize the army to the battlefield.
Therefore, the Star Luo Empire's original plan to attack the four kingdoms was repeatedly delayed. Even the Mad Lion General Renn, who was originally focused on attacking the four kingdoms, was forced to be transferred to protect the transportation of grain and grass.
It's just that although Gelong was telling the truth, there was no doubt that he meant to slap Horace in the face when he told the truth on this occasion.
Suddenly, the marshals of the three kingdoms looked a little worried.
Horace was too embarrassed to speak out again, but a trace of resentment quickly flashed in his eyes at this moment.
However, Ge Long was too lazy to pay attention to the Four Kingdoms who were planning to do nothing at this time. He said to Lu Yuan, "Tianying Gong, what do you think?"
"The marshal has an order, and I must obey it." Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.
According to Emperor Xue Ye's order, Ge Long, as the coach of this expedition, should be Lu Yuan's boss due to his identity and status. Lu Yuan would naturally follow his orders.
However, Ge Long and the five military princes did not dare to really regard Lu Yuan as a subordinate subordinate to Ge Long. Today, Lu Yuan is not inferior to Ge Long in terms of strength, record, and title, and is even better.
Therefore, Ge Long also had to ask Lu Yuan for his opinion instead of giving him orders directly.
Even Lu Yuan would not take this as a arrogance. After all, in a large army, it is best to have only one voice.
As the coach, as long as Ge Long does not make fatal mistakes, why should Lu Yuan object, and why should Lu Yuan take the initiative to compete with Ge Long for the command of the army.
"However, I don't think General Tianying can bear the responsibility for this assault team." At this moment, Liehuo Hou said, "It's not much more expensive to go around and attack Guijing, and it's better to have long-range shooters to cover it. It's not as good as In this way, how about we, the Fire Army, send a team of 100 people to join this mission, and the full command will be taken by General Tianying?"
"It just so happens that my daughter who is in the military is also an old friend of General Tianying. They are both former teammates.
The cooperation is also more tacit. "He said with a smile while stroking his beard.
Ge Long suddenly felt that what Liehuo Hou said was reasonable. After all, it was indeed true.
If there is an elite group of archers to assist the raiding team to sneak attack the Star Luo Empire's supply troops, then the success rate of the mission will indeed be greatly improved.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Liehuo Hou. Liehuo Hou smiled and nodded to him, "I hope I can assist Tian Yinggong in completing his mission."
"If that's the case, then so be it." Ge Long nodded in agreement.
"Wait a minute..." But at this moment...
Everyone looked at Marquis Xuanwu, and this was exactly what Marquis Xuanwu said.
Marquis Xuanwu said with a smile, "If the mission is successful, and Duke Tianying and other members of the raiding team have successfully retreated, there will still be danger. What if the enemy army comes with reinforcements? So in order to quickly allow the members of the raiding team to retreat, I I feel that a strong defensive team is needed to assist Tianying Duke in his retreat."
"So why don't we, the Xuanwu Army, send out an elite squad of 100 people, who can be responsible for breaking up the rear and covering the team's retreat after the mission is successful."
He continued with a smile and said, "My two grandsons were also teammates of General Tianying before. They must also hope to fight side by side with General Tianying again."
Ge Long finally saw that Marquis Liehuo and Marquis Xuanwu were making their stance known, and they were also constantly expressing their loyalty to Lu Yuan.
Moreover, with Lu Yuan on this mission, there was basically no danger - before at Zhennang Pass, Lu Yuan had no problem facing millions of soldiers from the Star Luo Empire, let alone the raid mission now.
In the army, Liehuo Hou and Xuanwu Hou directly made their attitude towards Ding Lu Yuan clear.
Ge Long sighed, but there was nothing he could do in this court position.
He has always been loyal to the Tiandou Empire, and his family has been in power since his generation. Before that, his ancestors were far inferior to the five military princes.
It wasn't because of Ge Long's outstanding talents and outstanding military exploits that he wouldn't be able to become the marshal of the Tiandou Empire.
Therefore, his family is far less profound than the families of the five military princes, and there is nothing they can do to prevent their families from taking a position in the court.
Although Ge Long, as the marshal of the empire, could only turn a blind eye to the issue of positions chosen by veteran military families like the Five Military Lords.
Moreover, the more elite the raiding team is, the higher the success rate of this mission. Why wouldn't he do it?
"In this case, what Marquis Xuanwu said is reasonable, so let's arrange it this way." Ge Long said with a smile.
However, at this time, Marquis Senluo was also a little impatient.
He watched Liehuo Hou and Xuanwu Hou express their loyalty, and immediately understood what the Liehuo family and Xuanwu family meant.
But he also expressed his loyalty to Lu Yuan not long ago and swore allegiance to Lu Yuan.
He couldn't fall behind this time.
So Senluo Hou also said, "Marshal, I think that in terms of carrying out raid missions and covering the retreat of soldiers, control-type war spirit masters are indispensable. In order for this battle to be successful, our Senluo army should also contribute to the empire. !」
"I will send one hundred of my own troops to join the assault team. The full command will be taken by Duke Tianying!"
Immediately, both Liehuo Hou and Xuanwu Hou looked at Senluo Hou.
They couldn't help but frown, when did the Senluo family also express their loyalty to Lu Yuan.
Suddenly, they secretly cursed Senluo Hou in their hearts. Originally, their two major families were competing to follow Lu Yuan, so there was a lot of competitive pressure.
You Senluohou has intervened again. Doesn't this really make the competition between them even more stressful?
Even if they stand behind Lu Yuan and are loyal to Lu Yuan, they all have selfish motives.
They will inevitably compete with each other and try to make Lu Yuan see their loyalty, so that Lu Yuan will value them more in the future.
This kind of competition is impossible to eliminate.
Even if Lu Yuan ascends the throne in the future, it will be impossible for the ministers below him to live in harmony and peace.
Even in order to compete and show their loyalty, they will criticize and maliciously slander each other.
These
It's all inevitable.
Unless Lu Yuan brainwashes them and turns them completely into puppets without ideas of their own.
But there is no point in doing so, Lu Yuan is not Uchiha Madara.
However, Liehuo Hou and Xuanwu Hou thought about it and realized that their daughters or grandsons were Lu Yuan's teammates who fought alongside Lu Yuan in the past. The Senluo family did not have teammates who fought alongside Lu Yuan. It would be more advantageous for them to think about it.
So their expressions didn't change at all on the surface.
Ge Long glanced at Senluohou, but he didn't expect that even Senluohou would fall towards Lu Yuan.
But he still said, "In that case, let's follow what Senluohou said..."
The third of the five military princes all fell to Lu Yuan and the princelings behind Lu Yuan.
It can only be said that the overall situation for the crown prince's position has been decided...
Ge Long thought in his heart.
However, at this moment, Marquis Gale looked at Lu Yuan, then stood up again and said to Ge Long, "Marshal, when it comes to carrying out surprise missions, who can compare to the agility attack type war spirit master?"
Ge Long was stunned for a moment. He looked at Hou Fenghou with some surprise.
Could it be that even Lord Gale...
At this time, the Gale Lord said in a deep voice, "We, the Gale Army, are perfectly suited to carry out the attack mission, and since General Yan, General Shi, and General Yin are all willing to assist Lord Tianying, we, the Gale Army, can also assist Lord Tianying!"
"We, the Gale Wind Army, have sent a hundred-man elite cavalry and are willing to cooperate with Lord Tianying to carry out the mission!"
