Time flies by like a fleeting horse, and the three-day period is here in an instant.
The east is bright and white, and before and after the rising sun, smoke is curling up from the cooking pots, and soldiers and horses from both sides of the Dalong and Jin Kingdom have begun to light fires and cook rice.
About an hour or so, amid the sound of war drums and horns, the soldiers of the two countries and three armies quickly gathered.
The only remnant soldiers of the Jin Kingdom in the Jin Kingdom's camp in the Moro tribe are headed by the empress, Wanyan Chizha, Yeluhu and other generals.
Dalong Military Camp, headed by generals such as Liu Mingzhi, Song Qing, Cheng Kai, etc., successively set out to meet in the wilderness on the north side of the Moro River in the southwest of the Moro River.
“Report to the commander-in-chief. Brother Jindiao, the scout, sent a message to report that soldiers and horses of the Turkic royal court were making fire and cooking before dawn. Dongfang Jianbai’s army has set off to meet at the banks of the Moro River.
According to the estimation of the scout brothers, the meeting can be successful in about three poles at sunrise."
“Go back! Continue the investigation.”
"I have been ordered to resign from my humble post."
After Liu Mingzhi received the report from the scout, the Queen also received information from the Jin Kingdom scout one after another, and the content was similar to the information from Dalong Scout.
The Queen, like Liu Mingzhi, conveyed the order to continue the investigation, and then ordered Wanyan Chizha and Yeluha to command the troops and continue to advance.
The morning sun is bright red.
The grassland, which has become increasingly yellow, is full of pleasing scenery.
On the endless grassland, dozens of human-shaped dragons were winding and undulating, rushing towards the Moro River.
“The last general Cheng Kai meets the commander-in-chief!”
Liu Mingzhi was looking around at the terrain connecting the territory of the Moro tribe and the banks of the Moro River. Cheng Kai suddenly rode over and started walking slowly alongside Liu Mingzhi.
Liu Mingzhi retracted his gaze and looked at Cheng Kai who was standing aside.
"Cheng Kai, if you don't command the soldiers who are trapped in the battle and concentrate on their journey, why are you taking my position in the middle army?"
Cheng Kai hesitated for a while: "Commander, the last general came here because he had doubts. Not only the last general, but also the other five brothers and the seniors of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang also had doubts!"
“Is it because Deputy Commander Song secretly gave you an order?”
“The commander is wise, that’s exactly what he is.”
Liu Mingzhi looked around: "Du Yu!"
“The end is here!”
“Lead the brothers to spread out about eighty steps forward and backward. I have a major military matter to discuss with General Cheng.”
“Get the order!”
Without hesitation, Du Yu took out the command flag from his waist and waved it a few times: "Brothers of Zuo Weiwei, follow me!"
Within a few breaths, the space between Liu Mingzhi and Cheng Kai became empty.
“Tell me, is there anything you can’t figure out?”
“Commander, I have the guts to say a few abrupt words. Now we clearly have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. We can easily defeat the Turkic troops one by one and successfully unify the world.
Why do you need to risk your reputation by engaging in a laborious military battle with the troops of the two countries to decide the outcome?
To put it bluntly, this is a completely thankless job.
It is good to win, but what if you lose?
Although the military formation deduction is no different from a confrontation between two armies with real swords and guns.
However, all the results of the military formation deduction can be known in time, and there is far less chance of delay in the real duel between soldiers and horses due to changes.
In this case, our advantage in military strength will be greatly weakened.
The last general gave an example. If the two armies were to confront each other with real swords and guns, once we bypassed the Tatar Department and launched a charge.
It would take at least a day for the Turkic Royal Court to know about this matter, and it would be excusable for it to take about three to five days to get the news if something unexpected happens!
And the gap that exists in the world is enough for us to launch another wave, two waves, or even several waves of annihilating charges.
But as for the military formation deduction, you will know this in just a cup of tea, and ask your junior brother Huyan Yunyao, the Turkic Khan, to make a countermeasure.
In this case, our advantage in military strength will no longer exist!
So after the generals and other generals secretly received the order from the deputy commander, they discussed it privately and agreed that the commander's move was a bit abrupt.
With our military strength, why do we need to compete with the enemy generals in a battle of wits and courage?
It can be completely crushed by troops and pushed all the way through.
It is best if you are willing to bow your head and surrender, but if you are not willing to bow your head and surrender, then you will be beaten and they will have to surrender.
General Mo, his five brothers and the senior six guards all agreed that victory with direct force was the safest way!
I hope the commander will think twice, cancel the bet, and directly start a military duel."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the wine bag on his horse and took a sip. He frowned and thought for a moment, looking at Cheng Kai with a faint look.
“What you can think of, I can’t think of?”
"The last general will not dare, the last general has no such intention."
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and took a sip of wine, then threw the wine bag to Cheng Kai.
“You guys, all your tricks are playing tricks on me.
What you are worried about is not only that something might happen in the military formation deduction, leading to the failure of the Northern Expedition, but also the loss of my reputation.
You are here to seek credit for your brothers in the battalions, right?
Be able to use military formations to determine victory or defeat, and peacefully unify the world without losing any blood.
For the brothers in the Wei camp, this means that they have no more military exploits to achieve.
From your point of view, since we have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, why bother playing around with battles in battle formations and simply crush them with powerful troops? You can not only dominate the world, but also allow your brothers to achieve great military exploits.
Compared to a military duel, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, right?"
ification
Cheng Kai looked at the smiling Liu Mingzhi with an embarrassed and fearful expression. The weather was slightly cold, but Cheng Kai couldn't help but form dense layers of sweat on his forehead.
“The general is confused, please punish me, Commander-in-Chief!”
“Cheng Kai!”
“The end is here!”
“Baoyu, Baotong, Fujian, Ningchao, I can’t bear to have you, you six brothers, the first ones to follow me are you, Han Peng, Jiang Lei and you guys.
The second is Bao Yu, Bao Tong them.
Unable to bear the misfortune of dying for the country a few years ago, Chu Jing took over.
Among you, the shortest one has been with me for eight years.
As for you, you are the longest-serving general. You have been working with me since the disaster relief in Qingzhou. It has been more than eleven years now, and it will be twelve years soon!
From then on, General Xiaolang of Longwuwei not only became a marquis, but also became a general who commanded the soldiers of the three armies.
It has been almost twelve years, and my character and conduct are unclear to others. Don’t you still understand?
Is Liu Mingzhi someone who treats his brothers in life and death badly?
When I returned from the Western Regions campaign, I withheld tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver from the countries in the Western Regions as compensation. In the end, I kept part of the gold privately. You know it and I know it.
However, most of the remaining money was shared equally among the brothers under his command, and without the knowledge of the court and his father, the pensions for the brothers killed in the war were increased.
Cheng Kai, it’s true that I proclaimed myself emperor, but after so many years of love between us brothers, do we really have to become estranged from each other?”
“Commander, the general will finally be convicted!
The general is worthy of death. Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief! Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief!"
Liu Mingzhi sighed sadly, leaned forward to take the wine bag in Cheng Kai's hand, and drank swig after sip.
"What are you guilty of?
You are not doing it for your own selfish interests, but for the future of your brothers.
Why should I condemn you?"
“Thank you, Commander, for your kindness!”
“You, bitch, can climb up the pole.
Go back and tell all your brothers and seniors that the military formation simulation involves all the troops and horses of all the troops participating in the war chess. After the world is unified, the military achievements of all the brothers will be evened out.
If you have anything to say in the future, please speak to me directly and don't engage in such nonsense.
I don’t like this feeling of estrangement!”
“Yes, the general will definitely bring the words.
I will make amends to the Commander-in-Chief for the brothers’ arrogant assumptions!”
“Go away, you will play tricks on me again. I will give you thirty military sticks without saying a word!”
“After receiving the order, I will retreat at the end of the day!”
Looking at Cheng Kai's figure riding away, Liu Mingzhi drank his drink with a lonely expression.
Emperor, do you really have to be a loner?
Even the life-and-death brothers who have always been outspoken in the past and have always said one thing and another two things are now trying to test their own minds!
Compared to the past when brothers would just say whatever they had, the feeling now is really sad!
“Third brother!”
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and grinned.
“Damn it, these words still sound so kind, scream again!”
