The expeditionary force's encirclement and reinforcements really hit the Alton Empire's weakness. It must be said that Zhao Yun's command level has skyrocketed. A person will grow, as long as he is given the right opportunity!
The reason why Zhou Yunfei values Zhao Yun so much is actually because of his preference for Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was sought after by others in later generations, not only due to the influence of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but more importantly, due to the image rendering of Zhao Yun in many games.
In order to make his favorite hero stronger, Zhou Yunfei asked various military masters to teach Zhao Yun their special skills, and ordered Zhao Yun to familiarize himself with the art of war. These daily accumulations have allowed Zhao Yun to break through the bottleneck and truly step into the ranks of handsome men.

Ayre City is trembling under the terrifying threat of the expeditionary force. There are only less than 10,000 defenders, and it is not as good as the previous Lys City. Is the tragedy going to happen again? The people and merchants and nobles in the city,
Holding their breath in the calm before the storm, waiting for the last moment to come. Perhaps in their hearts, they all thought that the empire was powerless.
All the shops were closed, and the people hurriedly prepared a small amount of food at home, while the nobles moved all the money they collected at home together, hoping that they could use these things to buy their own lives when the city was destroyed.
The city defenders were desperate. Many of them secretly took off their armor, threw away their swords, fled their posts at night and hid in corners of the city.
Of course, Ayr City was also in chaos in despair, beating, smashing, looting, and burning. In moments of despair, the release of the dark side of human nature made the entire Ayr City cry.
Ma Chao saw the firelight of Aier City reflected in the night outside the city and shook his head.
"When the restraint of morality disappears, humans are worse than beasts." Recalling what Zhou Yunfei once said, Ma Chao felt convinced when he saw Aier City in chaos before the war.
But he couldn't capture it at this time, although it was still possible with a little effort. But the Central Army was their main target, and Aier City was not the top priority at the moment.
The underground of a house in Ayr City.
Linda was in the not-so-spacious secret room, looking at the flickering oil lamp and thinking about something.
"Miss."
A shout interrupted Linda's train of thought. Her eyes focused and she saw a middle-aged man coming in with prepared meals.
"Miss, the chaos has begun outside." Putting down the hot food he was carrying, the middle-aged man told the situation outside.
Linda picked up the spoon and stirred it in the hot soup, "Really? The reputation of the Dragon City Expeditionary Force can already make these people fall into chaos before fighting. It's really sad."
It seemed that Linda didn't have much appetite, she just kept stirring the soup.
The middle-aged man sighed slightly. The situation in Ayre City is really not optimistic now. If possible, he would definitely leave with Linda. However, Ayre City, which was used as a bait by the expeditionary force, had already been sealed off. Even so.
No matter how hard you try to get the defenders to open the door, you still can't escape the hunting of the expeditionary force outside the city. Many deserters from the defenders have already told everyone this fact with their own lives.
But waiting in the city is undoubtedly a torture. Except for those who are driven crazy by fear, the intention of the expeditionary force is what the middle-aged man is most concerned about. Once the Central Army does not come, then Ayre City will definitely miss. And if the Central Army ignores
If everything comes to pass, the middle-aged man is not optimistic about their prospects. It is obvious that it is a trap, but the Central Army has to jump. In this case, the chance of winning is very small. When the Central Army fails or is destroyed, then
Can you expect the expeditionary force to spare Ayre City?
The middle-aged man did not think that the expeditionary force would let Aier City go. They came to the Alton Empire just for revenge. Only blood can resolve their anger. Although many people can now see that Zhou Yunfei is just an introduction. Dragon City is here.
Take the opportunity to step onto the mainland stage!
They are flexing their muscles, they are publicizing their existence, and they are preparing for the future!
The young lady said that even if the city is destroyed in the future, she will be sure to protect herself. But the middle-aged man is still very worried. He is not afraid of anything but 10,000 yuan. Even Linda cannot guarantee 100% safety. As the young lady's bodyguard, he
The housekeeper is naturally more worried. But now that he is trapped in Ayre City, he has no choice. All he can do now is wait for the collision between the expeditionary force and the central army. Maybe praying for the central army to defeat the expeditionary force now is the real solution.
Just do it. The middle-aged man shook his head with a wry smile and took out Linda's untouched dinner.
After the middle-aged man left, Linda looked at the candlelight again. As time went by, these memories not only did not weaken, but became more mellow. It was like a glass of strong wine that had been standing for a long time, becoming stronger and stronger.
Sweet and fragrant.
"Idiot, are you okay now?" Linda held her chin with one hand and smiled absently.
If it weren't for those secret reasons, perhaps there are lovers who fall in love with each other, smiles everywhere, the prince who eloped, and the miserable dancer, which can be regarded as a different kind of story in the mainland. It's just that God is often happy to see people go through hardships and setbacks. This is the only way.
Only in this way can we show the joking existence of destiny.
Love in war-torn times is often tragic, not to mention Linda who has a mission. She has no way to break free from this shackles. Even if she makes an agreement with him, she may break her promise by then.
Perhaps memories are the best wine, each time they are more mellow than the last time. Time has not made the memory fade, but it has become more profound as it is remembered again and again.
Just like the oil lamp in front of her, a little candle light illuminated the dark room. Her love for him, like the fire, illuminated her dark road ahead.
The news of Ma Chao's arrival in Ayr City has spread throughout Alton's top management. The Senate, whose deployment was instantly disrupted, once again allowed the Dragon City Expeditionary Force to take the lead. It seems that from the beginning of this war, the Senate has been passive at every turn.
This led to a series of mistakes and omissions. Now many people are asking, what happened? A majestic and powerful empire, but tens of thousands of enemies penetrated deep into its territory, and it seemed as if there was no man's land. What on earth caused this?
?
Putting aside the reasons for this war, just look at the disunity and hesitation of the Senate after the outbreak, which is what the expeditionary force took advantage of.
The establishment of the Senate is certainly an improvement in the form of social development, but Zhou Yunfei has long understood that now is not the time! Blindly pursuing changes in the social form without meeting certain social conditions is tantamount to chasing a duck to the shelf, and the foundation is unstable.
What about development?
Therefore, Dragon City took advantage of the Senate's shortcomings and further expanded them. Then came the Battle of Eden, the southwest advance, the burning of the city of Lys, and the current siege point for reinforcements. It is from this shortcoming that we accumulated bit by bit.
Just take advantage and then take advantage of the situation!
The biggest shortcoming of the Senate is that there is no leader. To put it bluntly, it is hesitant when it is time to make a decision. The fragmentation of people's hearts and the conflict of interests within the Senate are fatal shortcomings. Perhaps in peacetime, this organization can be very successful.
It is a good alternative to the feudal rule of one family and the world, but in wartime, it has to be said that the advantages of centralized rule are far greater than the decentralized senate organization.
Many people have discovered this, but there is no way to change it. Even when the crisis comes, Baixin of the Alton Empire first thinks not of the Senate, but of the imperial family, the emperor of the empire, and the central army of the empire!
Why? It’s very simple. There is no one who can take action in the Senate! The suppression and slander of each other makes the concept of the Senate in all confidence only an imperial decision-making organization. In this era of Ross Continent, people long for heroes in their hearts.
It exists. This is a manifestation of belief. People without systematic belief organizations are eager for the existence of belief. For example, in Longcheng, although the systematic Yandi Temple has an assimilation effect, if you carefully analyze this assimilation, it is actually belief.
Assimilation!
Human society has only a short history of three hundred years. Unlike the Three Kingdoms period, the Han Dynasty alone has a history of nearly three hundred years! What's more, it can be traced back to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties two thousand years ago!
Therefore, this unique cultural heritage of the Han nationality brings about the inner self-confidence! Many Han people naturally feel a sense of pride when they see the blond and blue-eyed people of the Ross continent and know that they only have a history of three hundred years.
Yes, it is pride! That is the advantage of heritage. On the other hand, the assimilated people of the Rus mainland also looked at Zhou Yunfei with reverence after accepting the constraints of the system!
Those civilians who had not assimilated but lived under the protection of Zhou Yunfei naturally mythologized the lord Zhou Yunfei!
This is why when "gods" are hurt, they get so angry.
With the development of Chinese culture, many civilians have begun to accept this unique custom full of historical charm.
Drinking tea, writing, and composing poems have become the hobbies of people in Longcheng in their spare time.
The teahouses scattered throughout the Dragon City territory have also become unique scenic spots, and the music, etiquette, clothing, and customs have intensified this hidden penetration.
Unknowingly, the word emperor gradually became familiar to the people of Longcheng. Under this rendering, these concepts of loyalty to the emperor and love for the people, propriety, justice, integrity, and fair administration of justice became the unique order of Longcheng.
Zhuge Liang, under Zhou Yunfei's instructions, quietly prepared. He had to eat the meal one bite at a time, starting from scratch to prepare for the future great cause. Don't underestimate these, it is to lay a solid foundation for the future building. Only in this way,
Only then will we not fall short in the future because of an unstable foundation.
Of course, this plan codenamed Hegemony is much more than meets the eye. This little thing is just the tip of the iceberg in the entire plan!
