Chapter 10 Pre-War Analysis
When you walk on the road, you can see the streets being cleaned from time to time, and you can't see the smile on your face. Facing the upcoming army of holy fire, many people will be confused.
Yang Zheng entered Helente's Kimparan Shelter, perhaps because of the approaching war, and the shelter was not as lively as before. Yang Zheng went straight in. When the Taoyuan people who stayed in the shelter saw Yang Zheng, they were all over ecstatic.
In the current turmoil, Yang Zheng's return is a heart-warming agent. Any Taoyuan person treats him like a god. Even if he is facing the largest war machine in the Northern Continent, they believe that Yang Zheng is invincible.
From the intelligence personnel, a general understanding of the current situation was that an envoy from the royal family of Chaolan visited and invited Yang Zheng to attend the night banquet in the palace.
Yang Zheng thought that King Chaolan might have been ruined by the upcoming war. He immediately invited him to the scene as soon as he knew he was back. Of course, the night banquet was just an excuse. It was true that asking him, the controller of Jinpalan, would help.
After replying to the envoy, Yang Zheng repaired it in the Kimpalan shelter and looked at the information and maps for another afternoon.
In the evening, Yang Zheng sat down and came into the palace to the carriage sent by the Lan royal family.
After the independence of the three major priests, Yang Zheng, as the head of Jinpalan, also accepted him as the "Son of God of Palan". Not only did he not need to salute the king, but any nobles of the three major priests would salute the Yang Zheng when they saw Yangpalan, which shows how respected the status was.
The palace hall was decorated with luxurious decorations, and King Chaolan obviously spent a lot of effort to arrange a night banquet, not only inviting celebrities from all walks of life in China, but also envoys from the other two major priests to attend.
However, Yang Zheng was used to the great people. Even the most powerful Duchy of Richard among the three major priests was very different from the Wei Rong Kingdom. Yang Zheng, the father of Wei Rong, and the supreme commander of Taoyuan, naturally became accustomed to it.
After a brief speech, after drinking a few glasses of wine on the scene, Yang Zheng and King Chaolan walked towards the study by the hall.
King Chaolan Kaiwo and Yang Zheng are about the same age as Yang Zheng. Yang Zheng was 25 or 26 years old when he was wrapped in the Lanfeng Continent by the fence. After so many years, he was 35 years old, but his appearance has not changed at all. In contrast, King Chaolan looks like he is in his forties or fifties, with half gray hair and obvious wrinkles on his forehead.
Yang Zheng could understand his aging. When the Holy Fire Cult was in great momentum, even if it was a top country like the Kyulan, the king's rights were restricted. For an ambitious and capable king, being in a high position but unable to show his ambitions was the greatest cruelty. Now, after finally breaking away from the control of the Holy Fire Cult, the country is still in turmoil. No matter whether it is flooded with the Black Death or the hundreds of thousands of Holy War troops of the Holy Fire Cult, it all gave him a headache. How old is he like in half a month?
Once the door was closed, there were only King Chaolan and Yang Zheng in the study.
Kaiwo turned around and gave Yang Zheng a big gift of bent down and ninety degrees. Cangran cried: "Sir, save me."
Yang Zheng hurried forward to support him: "What does your majesty mean?"
Kaiwo's eyes were covered with bloodshots, and his eyes were blue. He looked like he had not slept for several days, tired and old. His voice was trembling: "Sir, now the Holy Fire Sect has gathered 250,000 troops, coming all the way south, heading towards the border of Languo. The terrain of our heads is flat and there is no firmness to defend. The military reserves are full and there is only 40,000. Most of them are still peasants with low combat power. How can they fight against the 250,000 troops of the Holy Fire Sect? Wherever the Holy Fire Sect is pointed, the place where the Holy Fire Sect is destroyed, not only the people will continue to live under the evil power of the Holy Fire Sect. Mr. Jinpalan will also be destroyed by the pains of the Holy Fire Sect."
Kaiwo's tears were everywhere, his words were intense and from the heart. Anyone who listened to his accusations would be shocked.
An old fox, Yang Zheng helped Kaiwo up, and admired this guy's acting skills in his heart. He was willing to let go of such a figure just to prevent Jin Palan from standing by.
Yang Zheng said in a stern voice, "Your Majesty, Jinpalan has been incompatible with the Holy Fire Cult since its establishment. He will never sit idly by the Holy Fire Army. I am just coming here for this matter, so your Majesty can rest assured."
"I feel much more relieved if I have a sir."
Yang Zheng's eyes were sharp, with a look of wisdom in his grip, and said in a deep voice: "The Holy Fire Army claimed that there were 250,000 people, but the real number was questionable. Now that the Black Death was rampant, if there were so many people, the prevention measures alone would be enough to drag down an army, so I don't believe there were 250,000 people. Moreover, even if the Holy Fire Army could launch such a huge army, as long as their leaders knew a little about military knowledge, they would not be able to attack the North Koreans with one spirit.
You don’t have to panic for now. The terrain of Chaolan is relatively flat. However, it is also said that the Niam River on the Galan Plain will surround most of the Chaolan Kingdom. As long as your Majesty is willing to give up a quarter of the territory on the other side of the river, a solid line of defense can be built based on the Niam River."
Hearing Yang Zhengdi's words, Kaiwo was moved.
It’s not that Yang Zheng’s words awakened the dreamer. In fact, Kaiwo’s own battle situation is not as blind and ignorant as he showed just now.
As the king of Chaolan Kingdom, Kaiwo has outstanding abilities. As long as he calls himself a general and the courage to seize the land, he knows that he has strong confidence in his abilities.
However, Yang Zheng's incisive words were the result of Kaiwo and a group of senior military think tanks. Yang Zheng pointed out the key points and analyzed the pros and cons of the battle situation, which shocked him. Although he lowered his attitude towards Yang Zheng and asked Jin Palan, who was controlled by Yang Zheng, to help him, he only hoped that Jin Palan could help in logistics support and stabilizing the morale of the army, but he did not expect Jin Palan to work and work on the real battlefield.
Yang Zheng's words made him realize that he might have underestimated the capabilities of the nominal charity organization Kimparan.
Just looking at Yang Zheng's calm and erotic expression just now, even the most experienced military staff officer may have to do this.
If he knew that this was just Yang Zheng’s analysis of the upcoming battle in an afternoon, he would be even more shocking.
Kaiwo stayed for five seconds before he woke up from the shock brought by Yang Zheng. He realized his disobedience. He coughed and instantly returned to normal. He rubbed his palms with his hands and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the gentleman was so optimistic about the battle situation. Is it a bit risky to give up a quarter of the territory and use the Niam River as the defense line?"
Yang Zheng smiled faintly, knowing that Kaiwo was still testing his skills, but he was determined to shock him, not afraid that he would be afraid of Jinpalan for this.
The current situation has forced the three major priests and Jinpalan to become grasshoppers tied to a line. No matter how eye-catching Jinpalan is, they can only suppress their fear and face the Holy Fire Sect army together.
As for whether the alliance will break down, it will definitely be possible to defeat the Holy Fire Army and unify the Northern Continent. If it really comes to that time, the Taoyuan forces behind Yang Zheng General Jinpalan will be displayed, how could he be afraid of his three major priests?
Yang Zheng saw the mainland map hanging on the wall of the study, walked straight over, stood in front of the map more than one person high, and drew a big circle in the area of the Chaolan Kingdom, saying, "Your Majesty, look, the Chaolan country is located in the Galan Plain, and behind it is bordered by Richard and the two major Duchess of Morton, their terrain is in the middle of the Hengduan Mountains, two mountainous countries, especially the Moreton Kingdom, surrounded by Saber, which is the most easy to defend and difficult to attack. Of course, it is because of this that the road is difficult to walk. Although its land area is the largest, it is also the poorest. The Richard Kingdom is just in the middle of the large basin formed by the Hengduan Mountains. It has rich soil and rich resources, and it also has a large gold mine in the Hengduan Mountains.
At the same time, the Niam River crosses its country, and its water transport is also developed, so it is the richest. The most important thing is that its only exit connecting the Garland Plain is guarded by the Chaolan Kingdom. It can be said that it has a unique geographical location. If the Holy Fire Army wants to enter Richard, it must first open the gap of the Chaolan Kingdom. In the plain, Chaolan is naturally the easiest to fall. Therefore, the Chaolan Kingdom can be sure that it is the first offensive point of the Holy Fire Army and the only offensive point. Your Majesty's battle can be said to be a battle related to the fate of the Three Kingdoms. I can't think of it, Richard and Morton naturally cannot stand by. His Majesty said just now that there are only 40,000 troops. I personally think it is not difficult to raise a hundred thousand troops."
Kaiwo smiled embarrassedly, but he was not upset that Yang Zheng revealed this little thought.
