Chapter 174: Destroying a Country in Three Days (1)

After taking a closer look, Wang Zhene discovered that Shen Tianzi did not put on the armor in a coquettish manner, but looked carefree.

This scene was something Wang Zhene did not expect.

I thought Shen Tianzi would give him a blow, but I didn't expect him to be so...easy-going?

Shen Tianzi walked directly around Shen Tianzi and looked at the soldiers behind him: "Tsk, tsk, you soldiers are not good at all, but please don't hold us back."

"What did you say?"

When Yanzhi saw Shen Tianzi looking for trouble, he was unhappy, and seeing that Shen Tianzi was so plainly dressed, he immediately regarded him as a lowly military attache who wanted to stand up for Wang Zhene.

When Shen Tianzi saw Yanzhi's armor, he guessed that this person was probably Wang Zhene's deputy general, and became even more disdainful.

"These soldiers have no energy at all. They are not old soldiers at first glance. What's wrong? Is what I said wrong?"

Yanzhi snorted coldly: "What does this have to do with you? It's not your turn to talk nonsense here!"

"cut."

Shen Tianzi was too lazy to argue with Dao Yanzhi and was about to leave.

"These are indeed new recruits."

"The matter in Linyi is too urgent, and the imperial court has no time to mobilize troops from the central government, so it ordered me to recruit troops on the spot in Xiangzhou."

"For this reason, I specially went to Lingling in the south of Xiangzhou to start recruiting troops. Although these recruits have never been on the battlefield, they all live in the hot and hot mountains."

"The environment there is roughly similar to that of Linyi, and these recruits are already familiar with the soil and water. If elite soldiers from the north have to adapt, it will definitely delay the opportunity to fight."

Wang Zhene's explanation was very reasonable, but Shen Tianzi just wanted to pick some bones in the egg.

"But recruits are recruits! What we are facing this time are Linyi's battle-hardened elites. It is more appropriate to put them in the logistics."

"you!"

By the time Yanzhi couldn't bear it anymore, if he hadn't been worried that this was an away game, he would have been ready to get punched.

"Shen Tianzi, don't look for trouble."

Shen Tianzi?

The anger that was still filling Yan Zhi's chest just now disappeared without a trace.

Shen Tianzi was a mainstay among the generals of the southern faction, and he was from a high-ranking son of the Shen family in Wu County. This made Dao Yanzhi, who always looked down upon the aristocratic family, choose to give in.

"What do you mean I'm looking for trouble?"

Shen Tianzi was not interested in Dao Yanzhi, but was interested in Xiang Wangzhen.

"Wang Zhene! You should know that the reason why the imperial court did not mobilize the army to come to Linyi must be because the Northern Expedition is very close at hand!"

"If we fail to defeat Lin Yi in one fell swoop and let the war fester, it will inevitably delay the Northern Expedition."

"You can't understand this kind of thing if others can't understand it?"

Wang Zhenye looked surprised: "I haven't seen you for a while, and you've become smarter?"

"King! Town! Evil!"

Wang Zhene seemed to be able to find the point that angered Shen Tianzi, and Shen Tianzi's face became distorted again for a while.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

"In less than ten days, I will capture Linyi Kingdom!"

At this time, even Du Huidu, who was remaining neutral on the side, had his eyelids twitching, thinking that Wang Zhene was speaking arrogantly.

Shen Tianzi twitched his nose: "I can do it in five days!"

"Then I'll take three days."

The two of them seemed to be trying to compete, and talking about Lin Yi was as easy as pork on the chopping board.

"Okay! Just three days!"

Shen Tianzi suddenly stopped talking.

He turned to look at Du Huidu: "President Du also heard this. Wang Zhen'e has issued a military order. If he cannot take down Lin Yi's army in three days, he will be dealt with according to military law."

"this……"

Du Huidu was a little overwhelmed by the changes on the field, and quickly tried to dissuade him: "General Shen, stop joking, you can't be so easy in this military affairs..."

"Okay! Even if I issue a military order!"

Du Huidu didn't explain it clearly to Wang Zhene before he heard Wang Zhene agree directly.

"..."

What a sin! Why did the imperial court send Wang Zhene here?

When Du Huidu wanted to find a way down the stairs for the two of them, he suddenly realized that Shen Tianzi actually laughed: "Okay! Just three days!"

After saying that, Shen Tianzi walked away.

Du Huidu had no choice but to entertain Wang Zhene and others by himself, and arrange meals and accommodation for the soldiers he brought.

After the arrangements were made, Du Huidu came with a box of fragrant medicine to apologize to Wang Zhene on behalf of Shen Tianzi.

"General Wang, General Shen is not like this on weekdays. Don't take it to heart..."

Du Huidu placed the perfume in front of Wang Zhene: "This is the perfume used by the locals to drive away mosquitoes. It is very precious. General Wang can apply some to avoid infestation."

"Thank you to Governor Du."

The mosquitoes in Jiaozhou were indeed very annoying, so Wang Zhene did not refuse and accepted the fragrant medicine.

"I'm here for the first time, and I hope Governor Du can explain to me the situation in Linyi."

Du Huidu became serious.

"Although Linyi is a small country, its land is mostly covered with jungles and shrubs. The people's troops are often broken into pieces. It is easy to defeat them, but it is not easy to completely pacify them."

"This is also the reason why His Majesty ordered me to conquer Linyi several times, but with little effect."

"Now there are roughly 100,000 households in Linyi and thousands of soldiers capable of fighting."

"Although these soldiers are not as skilled in battle formations as the soldiers from the Central Plains, they are all veterans of jungle hunting. Once they hide in the dark, they will be helpless."

"Right!"

"And the most important thing!"

Du Huidu said this with a somewhat sad tone.

"Most of the weapons used by Linyi soldiers are highly poisonous!"

"Although it is not fatal upon contact, the wounds caused by its blades are almost impossible to heal. Most of the soldiers who were injured had a narrow escape from death."

Wang Zhene did not show any surprise when he heard that Lin Yi was so difficult to deal with.

This is pretty much what he thought.

"Du Jishi."

"exist."

"What's your suggestion?"

Du Huidu had been at war with Lin Yi for many years, and he also knew the court's plan and knew that they must win a big victory in order to disrupt Lin Yi.

Du Huidu asked someone to fetch a local map and said to Wang Zhene: "Linyi's defense mostly relies on jungles, and there are not many places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"So as long as we cross the jungle, we can reach Licheng, an important town in Linyi."

"Oulicheng is an important town in Linyi. As long as we capture this place, Linyi will have no chance of winning."

Wang Zhene nodded: "So what Governor Du means is——"

"Lead the infantry to a stalemate with Lin Yi in the north, and then send the navy to sneak attack Ou Li!"

"After that, as long as we attack Lin Yi's army trapped in the middle from front to back, we will naturally win a big victory!"

"But……"

Du Huidu secretly took a look at Wang Zhene.

This man had just boasted in front of countless sergeants that he would defeat Lin Yi within three days.

Three days?

Then we must risk the lives of the soldiers to fight with the soldiers of Linyi in the jungle!

After Wang Zhen'e heard Du Huidu's plan, he did not notice the strange look in his eyes, but asked with a smile: "Does Shen Tianzi know Du Jishi's tactics?"

"Of course I know. Some of these ideas were reminded by General Shen...wait?"

Du Huidu's pupils shrank.

Wang Zhene looked up at the sky: "At this point, he should have already set off."

Well...can I ask for some recommendation votes? Recommendation votes will do. The main reason is that the recent data is not very good. Now there are only a few recommendation votes every day, which is a bit shabby.
