Liu Mingzhi stared at the map and was completely in a dilemma.
Seeing this, Qi Yun and the other two did not dare to disturb Liu Mingzhi, who was deep in thought, and quietly exited the hall. Qi Yun was one of the people who knew Liu Mingzhi best, and she knew that her husband must be in a dilemma.
Liu Mingzhi pointed at the route on the map and slid it carefully. He would definitely succeed in conquering the Parthian Kingdom. Not only did he disintegrate the alliance of the five Dawan Kingdoms, but now the Wusun Kingdom and the Dawan Kingdom were about to become his helpers.
It is not clear what the situation is on Dayuezhi's side. As long as Wusun Kingdom and Dayuan Kingdom send troops to help the Western Expeditionary Army to meet the enemy Parthian Kingdom, they will definitely be able to capture it.
But how long it will take to conquer is unknown. The total land area of the Parthian Kingdom is almost comparable to that of the Western Regions. What will happen to the family if the battle lasts for another year and a half?
The matter of Qinglian and the recovery of Hetao Heshuo grassland are not trivial matters.
It would not be easy to conquer the West without fighting. In addition, the situation in Kang Juguo is still unclear. It is not a good thing to continue fighting blindly.
The most important thing is that the cannon shells are almost used up. Once we go deep into Parthia, it will be a real hand-to-hand battle.
In addition, I know nothing about the military situation of the Parthian Kingdom, and the situation seems to be very unfavorable to me!
"Report! Commander-in-Chief, Kergan wants to see you!"
"No, I will summon him. From now on, no one is allowed to disturb me without my order!"
"Got the order!"
After the messenger left, Liu Mingzhi picked up his brush and began to outline the map in detail, his expression falling into deep thought from time to time!
The lights in the hall changed one after another throughout the night. Liu Mingzhi lay on the map without getting up. In his mind, he sorted out all the places in the three countries of Anxi, Kangju and Dayuezhi.
When the sky dawned, Liu Mingzhi stretched himself and finally decided that he could drive away or even completely annihilate the more than 100,000 Parthian troops, but going deep into the hinterland of the Parthian State or even conquering the entire Parthian State was not the best time!
The appearance of artillery made Liu Mingzhi really unwilling to let his soldiers risk their lives to fight against the people of Parthia. As long as they captured the three countries of Dayuan, Dayuezhi and Wusun, the Parthia would not be able to cause any trouble.
"You didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Murong Shan walked into the main hall carrying the washing tools, and looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was holding his chin and still looking at the map, and the distressed look in his eyes disappeared in an instant!
"I really didn't sleep all night. I was making a difficult decision. Now I have a clear idea!"
Murong Shan handed the hot towel to Liu Mingzhi: "Aren't you going to fight the Parthian Kingdom?"
"How did you know?"
"When Yun'er said it last night, I thought about it and guessed it. If you wanted to capture the Parthian Kingdom, you wouldn't have stayed up all night thinking about it. It would be far more energy-consuming for you not to attack than to attack!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Murong Shan with admiration: "After all, she is the tiger girl of the generals. She figured out the key at once. It is definitely not the best time to continue the Western Expedition now!"
"There are not enough artillery shells, and the incident in the Hetao Heshuo Grassland is indeed not the best time to go deep into the Parthian Kingdom!"
After washing up, Liu Mingzhi threw the towel into the copper basin: "You can see clearly enough. If I hadn't been the only one in the hall, I would have thought you were standing beside me and listening to me mumbling all night! Is this so?
What’s the so-called understanding? It seems that the two of us are really a good match!"
"Bah, shameless Cheng Kai and the others are waiting impatiently. If they hadn't kept telling me, I wouldn't have risked being scolded by you to bring you water!"
Liu Mingzhi was startled and then remembered that he had indeed given an order last night that no one should disturb him without an order!
"Let them come in, they must be anxious for the next battle order!"
"good!"
"I will wait to see you, Commander-in-Chief!"
"No gift!"
"Cheng Kai!"
"The end is here!"
"The three armies were ordered to be ready to attack the Second Division City of the Dayuan Palace at any time. After taking the Second Division City, let King Luke of Dayuan give the order to the guards of the two big cities of Nalun City in the Dayuan Kingdom to surrender. The Dayuan Kingdom would be officially conquered by the West.
The army is in the pocket!"
"Got the order!"
"Duan can't bear it!"
"The end is here!"
"Ask the messenger to send a message to the generals who are guarding the prisoners in Fenshui City, and ask them to rush to Ershi City with the prisoners!"
"Got the order!"
"Du Yu!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Send a message to the Golden Eagle of the Song and Qing Dynasties and quickly attack the Second Division City of the Dayuan Palace. The army of Kang Juguo will quickly return to support regardless of whether they are eaten or not!"
"Got the order!"
"Is there no information about Zhou Baoyu and the others yet? Did the 200,000 troops led by him and Shan Erhe encounter Danar's army? How was the battle? Is there no news at all?"
"Commander, I haven't received a single letter, and the scouts sent out have not responded. Zhou Baoyu and his army of 200,000 seem to have disappeared from the world!"
Liu Mingzhi frowned. Could it be that the situation at Zhou Baoyu's side was not good? Otherwise, why didn't even a letter come from him?
I have no doubt about Zhou Baoyu's ability to lead troops, but I am afraid of unexpected events.
"Commander, there is nothing we can do if we are anxious now. We can only wait for General Zhou to take the initiative to contact us!"
"I know this, and will lead Kergan's army to the Second Division City!"
"Got the order!"
Three days later, the banners of the Western Expeditionary Army, which had been conquering the city all the way, covered the sky and the sun, and the army marched towards the gate of Ershi City as far as the eye could see.
Cheng Kai put down his telescope and turned his head to look at Liu Mingzhi: "Commander, the people in Ershi City still want to defend. Should we station them here for repairs?"
"Find a way to send a message to Deng Kun and see if he can figure out how many defenders there are in Second Master City!"
"Got the order!"
Inside the Dawan Palace, Luke looked panicked and at a loss: "Nonsense, Kergan has already led an army of 100,000 to reinforce Fenshui City. How could it be possible that the army of Dalong Kingdom could attack the city? I don't believe it."
!”
"Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. Right now, a total of forty square formations of enemy troops outside the east city wall are peering at our Second Division City. Your Majesty, hurry up and tell General Shatmu and the others in Tuoling City.
Send an order to come for reinforcements. We have 40,000 soldiers in the city. How can we resist the attack of 300,000 soldiers?"
King Lu Ke of Dayuan had to believe what his minister said. The army of Dalong Kingdom had indeed attacked the city.
"Hurry up and send an order to Shatmu and the others to bring reinforcements with a large army!"
"yes!"
"Send a message to Jin Diao, the commander-in-chief of the armies of the Parthia Kingdom, and ask them how many days they have to arrive. If they don't come, my king's Dawan Kingdom will be gone!"
"I will go immediately!"
Luke wandered around the palace naked and helpless. He never expected that the army of the Great Dragon Kingdom had already attacked his royal city.
Could it be that the more than 200,000 troops under Shah Khanlu and Kergan had been completely wiped out?
That’s 250,000 people!
Outside the Second Division City, Liu Mingzhi stuffed the note in his hand into his wristband and looked at the Second Division City coldly: "There are less than 50,000 defenders, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Cheng Kai, Duan Can'er, Ye Baotong, Han Peng, Peru, you all work together to capture the Second Division City. I am a little tired. When I wake up, I hope to see the good news that you have captured the Second Division City!"
"The general has given his orders. Commander, you can rest peacefully!"
In the temporary tent, Liu Mingzhi rested his head on Qi Yun's legs and sighed: "I'm so tired! So tired!"
Qi Yun gently rubbed her husband's forehead: "If you are tired, take a good sleep. If they capture Ershi City, their alliance may automatically collapse, and there will be no need to worry about several countries fighting alone!"
