Chapter 70
(At the request of readers, this chapter has been revised)
Zhou Jue looked at the black iron in front of him, there was no trace of forging at all.
It is not ruled out that Zhang Hao recast it after melting, but this possibility is very low because it is completely unnecessary.
The black iron in his hand was still slightly hot, obviously it had just been smelted.
Cut off a bit of black iron with a flying sword, and calcine it with the real fire of the Yuanying stage. A little black smoke appears on the surface of the black iron, which is a weak impurity. This further shows that the black iron has not been forged - the black iron that has been forged and purified will not be able to be purified again.
Zhou Jue said to himself: "The Zhang family can directly produce 99% pure black iron without toxic impurities, um... When Zhang Hao wakes up, we need to have a good talk."
After all, Zhou Jue stared at Xuan Tie in a daze.
Zhang Hao said that he would give himself an answer in five days, but in fact it only took three days; during these three days, Zhang Hao also went to the county town.
Considering that Zhang Hao became a registered disciple of Xuanzhen Sect and worshiped Wu Fanghai as foster father, Zhou Jue had to seriously consider his relationship with the Zhang family.
…………
At this time, in the court hall of Qixia Kingdom, it was not quiet.
The sudden active attack of the two eastern countries not only stunned the country of Jinyang, but also the country of Qixia.
Wu Fanghai roared angrily in the main hall: "The kingdom of Jinyang is a bunch of pigs! I reminded them before that the situation is wrong, and to prevent the East from actively attacking, that's how they were prepared! One hundred thousand border guards were wiped out!"
"General Wu, calm down." Han Yue, the doctor of the censor, said, "It's useless for the general to be angry now, why not think about how to deal with this changing situation.
The East takes the initiative to attack, I am afraid that we will not have much time left. "
Wu Fanghai said angrily, "How to deal with it? How else can I deal with it! The most effective way is to attack with attack.
The east has crossed our coalition forces on the eastern border of the Kingdom of Jinyang, and the main force of the coalition forces is intact. Now it is time to attack Qiufengling's checkpoint immediately and at any cost, forcing the opponent to return to the teacher! "
The prince said: "But the Kingdom of Jinyang asked us to support the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang and launch a decisive battle in the imperial capital."
Wu Fanghai was still furious: "That's impossible!
Your Highness, our army is mainly based on the Qi refining stage and above the seventh floor, and about 80% of the army will fight. The second 20% is the foundation-building stage; only a little of the Jindan stage and the Nascent Soul stage.
The army moves very slowly.
In contrast, the legions from the east are all at the foundation-building stage. They can fly in the sky and move quickly.
If we take the initiative to attack these enemy forces, we will use our own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, and the consequences will be unpredictable.
In the lightest case, the enemy is unable to catch up and the army is exhausted, and in the most serious case, the enemy is defeated, ambushed, harassed, etc., losing the teacher and humiliating the country. "
The prince was dissatisfied, "Then it can be transferred from the foundation building period of the general!"
Wu Fanghai looked at the prince and sighed deeply: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is exactly what the enemy wants us to do. If we take out the elite of the army, the rest of the army will be vulnerable. If Dongfang Send troops, the consequences... unimaginable!"
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you generals do!" The prince was furious.
Wu Fanghai didn't speak, but looked at the emperor who had never spoken.
The emperor finally spoke: "Wu Fanghai, I know that your strategy is 'probably' correct, but the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang must be preserved.
The imperial capital is the symbol of a country.
If the imperial capital is captured, the kingdom of Jinyang will fall apart.
Once the Kingdom of Jinyang collapses, the situation in the West will not be optimistic. "
Wu Fanghai explained: "Your Majesty, I still think that the most effective way is to attack a checkpoint of the Kingdom of Taihua or the Kingdom of Canglan with all our strength.
It is enough to attack only one, which in turn triggers contradictions and a sense of urgency within the Eastern Assault Corps, forcing them to return to defense.
As long as we act fast enough and attack violently enough, we can completely cut off the retreat of one of the countries and win the initiative of the war. "
The emperor still frowned, hesitating. In fact, at this time, he was thinking about the recent successive small actions of the Kingdom of Jinyang, and he was delusional about unifying the West.
So the emperor thought: The West is still strong enough; in contrast, the country of Jinyang is the "near worry"; perhaps, this is a good opportunity to weaken the country of Jinyang!
Wu Fanghai and other generals were in a hurry, and the time left for their side was running out. The situation requires that the West must make a decision as soon as possible, immediately, immediately, and there is only one chance!
Just at this time, a guard in front of the hall came to report that Wu Fanghai's personal soldier, Shu Bennan, had asked to see him.
After the emperor nodded, Shu Bennan entered the main hall, first paid respects to the emperor, and then walked quickly to Wu Fanghai in small steps, saying that it was a message from Zhang Hao, and handed a jade slip to Wu Fanghai.
After Wu Fanghai saw it, he glared at Shu Bennan: "Why are you only sending it now!"
"This... I always wanted to wait for the general to retire." Shu Bennan laughed.
"Go away." Wu Fanghai got a little angry.
Shu Bennan smiled, paid his respects to the emperor again, and exited the hall.
Wu Fanghai came out and said, "Your Majesty, just now there are two messages from Zhang Hao, the minister's adopted son..."
Before he finished speaking, another guard in front of the palace came to report that Liu Jingming had sent new information.
What Liu Jingming presented was a memorial, and the guards brought it to the imperial court, and the imperial servant took it over, making sure it was all right, and then presented it to the emperor.
The emperor glanced at Wu Fanghai: "Continue."
Wu Fanghai reported it, but the emperor looked down at the memorial, focusing on two purposes.
Wu Fanghai talked about Zhang Hao's strategy. Zhang Hao's strategy was very simple. After Liu Jingming polished it, he handed it over to Shu Bennan. After seeing it, Wu Fanghai polished it up again to make it a strategy with definite military value.
After Wu Fanghai explained in detail, he gave a conclusion: "Abandon Anqing, the imperial capital of Jinyang, and set it up as a bait, a trap, and after luring the enemy to enter, close the door and beat the dog.
In addition, cut off the enemy's back route, use local advantages, constantly harass the enemy, and make them restless; then issue rewards, and then mobilize the power of the people to wipe out the enemy's army in the vast land of Jinyang Kingdom. "
At this time, the emperor had also read Liu Jingming's memorial, and what the memorial said was the "support on credit" proposed by the Xuantie Guild.
The emperor looked up at Wu Fanghai and nodded: "This plan sounds good, so let's pass it on to the Kingdom of Jinyang."
Wu Fanghai was overjoyed, His Majesty finally made the right decision. But before Wu Fanghai's face showed joy, the emperor continued to say: "However, in terms of the army, we still need to send experts to support the imperial capital of the Jinyang kingdom. Using the imperial capital of the Jinyang kingdom as a bait and a trap cannot be done."
Wu Fanghai opened his mouth. Now he really wants to open His Majesty's head to see if there is a mass of paste inside! If Anqing is not abandoned, the Kingdom of Jinyang will not be able to turn passive into active, and the war situation is still not optimistic.
We have lost the initiative, and if we want to regain the initiative, we must have the courage and determination of the gecko to dock its tail.
But the emperor didn't give Wu Fanghai a chance to speak, and directly ordered Wu Fanghai to lead the rest of the army to go out, and kicked Wu Fanghai out.
Wu Fanghai stood outside the hall, looking up to the sky and sighing, but there was nothing he could do.
