On the official road leading from the capital of the Jin Kingdom to southern Xinjiang.
The 200,000-strong army, which could not be seen to the end, rushed towards the southern Xinjiang in a mighty manner.
The commander of the 200,000-strong army was none other than Yelv Mo, the eldest son of the Jin Kingdom’s Imperial Guard General Yelu Hu. The deputy commander of the army was Longchang, the son of Long Duo, the former master of the Jin Kingdom.
Longchang, who was in his early thirties, held up the map and observed it while walking. After a while, Longchang handed the map to Yelv Mo.
"Commander, we still have four days' journey to reach Jizhou. We don't know how many of our cities have been captured by Dalong's enemies now."
Yeluhu glanced at the map and thought for a moment: "There are about four to five buildings. If we continue to attack and wait for us to arrive, we may reach Daizhou."
"The commander-in-chief means that we go directly to Daizhou to surround them?"
"No, I have never met Liu Mingzhi, but his name makes my ears almost tingle."
"My father worked with him to put down the rebellions of four vassal kings. He was full of praise for Liu Mingzhi, who is about the same age as me."
"The information we know now is that Liu Mingzhi only has 100,000 cavalry deep into the hinterland of Dajin."
"My father said that Liu Mingzhi is used to using surprise and dangerous troops, but no matter how strange or dangerous his troops are, the way of using troops must be well-founded before advancing and retreating."
"Think about the distance from our first border town captured by Liu Mingzhi to Daizhou. There are five border towns in between: Songzhou, Liaozhou, Jinzhou, Jizhou, and Xingzhou. One hundred thousand people want to add Daizhou Hehu
For a state, there are only seven cities."
"He only has 100,000 cavalry. It will be easy to capture the Great Phnom Penh City when our troops are empty, but it will be difficult to defend it."
"It's just like it's easy to conquer a country but hard to sit on it."
"Once the battle line of 100,000 people is opened, each city will not be able to garrison many troops."
"Liu Mingzhi took action while our troops were empty. In this case, he will definitely prevent us from taking back the city while their troops stationed in the city are empty."
"I speculate that with Liu Mingzhi's current strength, he may capture at most five or six of our cities. This is the maximum, and it may only be about four cities."
"So the cities we focus on supporting are Jinzhou, Liaozhou, Jizhou, and Xingzhou."
"I think Liu Mingzhi will never use dangerous troops or unexpected troops again, and he will not use troops based on his own strength!"
Longchang pondered for a moment, rolled up the map and nodded: "What the commander-in-chief said is that the general's thinking is too simple."
"But it is said that Liu Mingzhi's middle army has 300,000 cavalry. Why are there only 100,000 people now? Where are the other 200,000 people?"
"When Muzhou was captured, there were still 200,000 soldiers and horses, but when Songzhou was attacked, there were only 100,000 soldiers and horses. Did he deliberately use only 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city, so he set up a trap for us to infiltrate?
When will we launch a counter-siege?"
"It is not impossible that I will eventually understand Liu Mingzhi's reputation."
"If that's the case, then we won't surround him, but he will lead 300,000 troops and uproot us."
Yelv Mo frowned tightly: "We don't know much information now. Our scouts haven't come back yet. We don't know what the situation ahead is at all. We can only rely on His Majesty..."
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Your Majesty is sending a message!"
Yelv Mo was startled: "Bring it here!"
"Commander, please take a look!"
Yeluhu took the letter and started reading it. After a while, Yeluhu's brows relaxed and he handed the letter to Longchang:
"Your worries are unnecessary. Liu Mingzhi is not setting a trap in the old suspicion formation for us to get into, but his 200,000 troops have been forced to divide their troops!"
Rondo took the letter and read it with a look of excitement on his brows.
"Great. As long as we capture Liu Mingzhi, our new army will become famous all over the world. We two brothers can also step on Liu Mingzhi's shoulders and become famous in one fell swoop."
"Liu Mingzhi has been famous for ten years. I really want to see his face after being captured. I think it will be very exciting in the end."
Yelv Mo patted Longchang on the shoulder: "Don't be careless. There is a saying in Dalong that there is no empty person under the reputation. Liu Mingzhi has been famous for many years. He has conquered south, north, east and west, and his experience can be said to be extremely rich."
"In Dalong, he is as famous as the generals of the Six Guards in the Northern Territory of Dalong. I, Dajin, my father, the generals of the Twelve Guards, and the King of Zhen are all full of praise for him."
"So this person must not be underestimated."
"Woe to those who are mad, the soldiers under our command are all newly trained recruits. Although we have been in the army for many years and have wiped out many bandits and bandits, the bandits and bandits are nothing compared to the regular army that has experienced hundreds of battles.
dog."
"Don't be careless."
"Don't fail to step on Liu Mingzhi's shoulders when the time comes, and instead become a stepping stone for him to increase his prestige."
"The death of two of us in battle is a small thing, the lives of the two hundred thousand soldiers under our command are big, and the national prestige and face of my country, Dai Jin, are even more important."
"My father, your father, Mrs. Longdo, is a very powerful figure in our Daikin. We cannot allow them to be discredited and suffer a lifetime of infamy because of the two of us."
Longchang was startled and looked helpless: "I understand, General, but I also hope that you, Marshal, can understand my difficulty."
"This time, the general will serve as the deputy commander. Many people in the court are not convinced. They think that the general has suffered from my father's shadow. Your Majesty feels guilty, so he ordered me to be the deputy commander."
"Those rumors are harsh. The general knows it but has no choice but to secretly make up his mind to fight a good fight to show them."
"I, Longchang, became the deputy commander on my own merits, not on my father's influence."
Yelvmo looked at Longchang's angry face and sighed silently.
"Longchang, I understand how you feel, but you must not be too radical. My brother is a few years older than you and sees things in the longer term than you do."
"Human nature has been like this since ancient times. There is no one to laugh at, but only one to be jealous."
"Liu Mingzhi was just an unknown playboy back then. Gold will shine sooner or later. We must wait for the best opportunity."
"It's absolutely impossible to do what you just said. It's not self-deprecating. We stepped on Liu Mingzhi's shoulders and became famous in one fell swoop. The two of us are not qualified."
"Brother, my requirements are not high this time. Being able to trap Liu Mingzhi is a great achievement for us brothers."
"Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position."
"It's right for a person to look forward, but you can't look too far ahead at one time. You have to pay attention to the situation in front of you and move forward step by step."
"That's all my brother said, think about it yourself!"
"Commander!"
"exist!"
"Send another hundred scouts to investigate Jinzhou, Liaozhou, and Jizhou."
