Text Chapter 1151: Eager for Success

In the early morning of the 14th, when it was just dawn, the Four Route Army newspapers arrived in Xiping Mansion one after another.

Wei Qiu led 30,000 troops and captured Jiaoyuan County within half a day.

Xiang Yu led a 20,000 garrison army and conquered Shangchong County in one day and one night.

Tang Zhen led 30,000 troops and captured Xiechong County in one day.

As for the most remote Nanlu County, Yu Shu was heard at noon, and Feng Jixing personally led 10,000 cavalry to take down this county.

The Great Shang Empire actually gave up on these four counties. After all, it is located in a remote area, it is inconvenient to dispatch troops, and they are all counties in Xishan Province. Even if they want to defend it, they cannot defend it.

...

In the meeting hall, the glazed lamps were shining brightly. Lin Muyu re-read the battle report feather books one by one, and then handed them to Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi beside him.

He stood up, and swiped his finger on the map of Xishan Province, swipe across the directions of the four major counties one by one.

Qin Yan asked suspiciously, "Brother, why do you look sullen when all the four armies are invincible?"

Lin Muyu smiled: "Although the four important towns have been captured, it also means that our forces are no longer concentrated, and it is easy to be defeated one by one, which is extremely unfavorable to us."

"Yes." Xu Jiantao said: "We are facing the enemy three times, and we need to double our troops to ensure peace of mind. Now we only have 300,000 troops, but we have to face a powerful enemy with three times our strength, and the magic crystal cannon is seriously worn out. , the ammunition reserve is less than one-twelfth of what it was when we arrived, once we start a war, we have no chance of winning."

Qianfeng smiled slightly: "If you add the possible nuisance from the sea, Xiping City can be said to be a place of four wars. There are powerful enemies on all sides, which is like sending yourself into someone else's trap."

"The most important thing is food."

Lin Muyu took a deep breath, and said: "Pass down the order and order Commander Feng, Wei Chou, Xiang Yu, and Tang Zhen to immediately escort most of the food and grass in the county to Xiping City. Appoint the prefect of the county and let the locals guard the county to minimize the damage we suffer."

"yes!"

At this time, Qin Yin put down the last feather letter and said: "Before the arrival of the second batch of troops, I'm afraid that even if we can defend a western mountain province..."

"Yes, this is our current situation." Lin Muyu frowned and said: "The key to the situation is that the terrain of Xishan Province is very flat. in a passive position."

Chen Xiaoli's eyes lit up: "The marshal must have already made up his mind, hasn't he?"

"Ha ha……"

Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing, and said: "From the perspective of strategic position, we currently have three directions to attack, one is the north, but the north is the province of Tianji, the old nest of merchants, with strong troops, even if we capture the province of Tianji, we It will also hurt your vitality, and the other direction is the east, but Chen Yu is guarding there, it is best not to provoke this treacherous guy, then only the south is left, the south is the original territory of the Blackstone Empire, and the main guard is Longxi's 300,000 Black Rock Legion, these 300,000 troops are basically the original army of the Black Stone Empire, and their combat power can only be regarded as average. As long as we attack the following mountain provinces, it is equivalent to lifting the threat to the south. It is not a problem to strategically extend to the north and east with the backing of Sonangang Province.”

"Marshal wants to take the following mountain provinces?"

Qianfeng was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect Lin Muyu to take this step.

"Yes." Lin Muyu nodded: "Longxi was originally the suzerain of the Leiyan Sect of the Blackstone Empire. Although his cultivation base is unfathomable, but in terms of resourcefulness, it can only be regarded as mediocre. Yang Shang let Longxi rule an army of 300,000. Wrong, since this is the case, we should cherish this rare opportunity even more."

Qian Feng pondered: "Although this is the case, our troops are limited after all. If we march south, we must divide our troops. At least 150,000 troops can guarantee the defense of Xiping City. For a long time, only 150,000 troops are left to attack Lieshan Province. Does the marshal think that 150,000 troops can defeat Longxi's 300,000 Black Rock Legion?"

"It's up to people." Lin Muyu said: "The order will go down, the three armies will rest, sister Chu Yao, the Department of Spirit Medicine will treat the wounded soldiers as soon as possible, how many wounded soldiers will heal in half a month?"

Chu Yao was startled, bit her red lips and said: "Some injuries are so serious that they can't be cured within half a year, but they can be sent out for minor injuries. About... half of the wounded soldiers can be cured, but... a lot of people They all have chilblains, and they won't recover for a while, Ah Yu, do you really want to launch a second war right away?"

"Well, our soldiers have chilblains, and the opponent's soldiers will also have chilblains, so fight quickly and don't give the opponent too much time to prepare."

Lin Muyu thought for a while, and then said: "I will personally lead the army to attack Lieshan Province, and the defense of Xishan Province will be handed over to Commander Feng. At that time, most of the wounded soldiers will be left in Xishan Province to coordinate defense, and the rest of the elite soldiers Attack them all, besides, I will take away the Winged Man, Giant Flying Snake, Xingtian Army and Dragoons together."

Chen Xiaoli was stunned: "But Marshal, there will be no air force in Xiping City in this way. Once the merchant army's dragoon regiment falls from the sky, what should we do?"

"rest assured."

With a smile in Lin Muyu's eyes, he said: "I brought back a few wind-type raw stones from the Sixty-Fourth Domain, which can launch a powerful wind saw attack. It can't be used when the warship is bumping at sea. Now it can be used. I will let Luo Senior Tianji looked for a suitable place to place the rough stone, and formed a protective barrier over the entire Xiping City, and then waited for their dragon knights to come and die."

Chen Xiaoli couldn't help laughing: "The Marshal already had an idea."

"Go back and prepare. After half a month, we will go out."

"yes!"

Three days later, Feng Jixing, Tang Zhen, Xiang Yu, and Wei Chou's troops returned to Xiping City with a large amount of food and supplies, nearly two million shi of grain. In this way, the army rations for the expedition to the south were also available, and the worries for the future were completely solved.

...

On the 18th, Tianji Hall.

A letter of military information flew to Shanghuang Yangshang's office, and it was piled up on his desk case, and two seats were added to the side of the dragon case, two counselors were helping Yangshang to check the military situation, one was Xun Xi, and the other is Zhou Ziyang, Gong Shangming's younger brother.

Above the main hall, the civil and military officials stood silently in their positions, motionless.

Yang Shang leaned on the dragon chair and rubbed his temples. Fighting in the heavens has never been so cumbersome, and he never considered the right time and place. The war, considering many factors, is simply too much trouble.

While flipping through the military situation, Xun Xi said in a low voice——

"Your Majesty, Jiaoyuan County and Shangchong County have been captured."

"Feng Jixing, Wei Qiu and others have collected a large amount of food and grass from various counties and cities, and have sent it to Xiping City."

"Lin Muyu and the people from the Jingyuan Chamber of Commerce have made many deals on food and armaments."

...

"Jingyuan Chamber of Commerce?" Yang Shang squinted his eyes and said, "They have taken the courage of the bear's heart and leopard, and dare to trade with the enemy?"

"Hmph, these businessmen are only looking for profit, and they are mediocre people. Are we going to take action against the Jingyuan Chamber of Commerce?" Xun Xi said with a ruthless look in his eyes, "A branch of the Jingyuan Chamber of Commerce is in Tianji City. There are about five More than a hundred people."

"Catch them all and behead them for public display." Yang Shang said it very lightly, not taking five hundred lives seriously at all.

"Yes, the subordinate will order someone to do it later."

Xun Xi continued to flip through the military information, suddenly picked up one of them, and said, "Your Majesty, the memorial sent by Marshal Chen Yu from Huoyuan Province."

"Oh? Read!"

"yes."

Xun Xi unfolded the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Yu stationed troops in Huoyuan Province, guarding a corner in the east. His Majesty Wanwang carefully checked. Recently, the Qin army is preparing food and grass. Lin Muyu must have new targets. In my humble opinion, Tianji Province and Huoyuan Province are not included in the offensive. Tianji Province's defenders are strong, and it is difficult for Qin thieves to conquer it. It will inevitably attack the southern provinces of Lieshan, and I hope His Majesty will make a plan early. Although the leader of the Black Rock Army, Long Xi, is brave, but Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Qianfeng and others are resourceful people. I implore Your Majesty to send a counselor Xingye to Liege Mountain Province, assist Longxi to lead, to keep the mountain province comprehensive."

"No more?" Yang Shang opened his eyes.

"Yes, gone."

"What does Lord Xun Xi think?" Yang Shang asked.

Xun Xi looked solemnly, and said: "Marshal Chen Yu has to say that his considerations are very comprehensive. Lin Muyu is indeed the most likely to attack the mountains and provinces, and Lord Longxi... is indeed not as smart as Lin Muyu in terms of resourcefulness."

"Then let's do what you say. The counselor is willing to go to the province of Lieshan to make meritorious deeds?"

Xun Xi was silent.

If the bow is not exhausted, he will hide among the civil servants and remain motionless.

Only Zhou Ziyang bowed his head and said: "Since all the adults are unwilling to meet this Lin Muyu, then I, Zhou Ziyang, will go to meet!"

Yang Shang couldn't help laughing and said: "Master Ziyang is the best way to go, but... your senior brother Gong Shangming is still defeated by Lin Muyu, how does Master Ziyang think he will be successful?"

"It's up to the sky to make things happen, and it's up to people to plan things. If you don't compete, you won't know who is strong." Zhou Ziyang raised his head, although he was born very elegant and handsome, but just like Gong Shangming, his brows had the aura of a world-beating talent.

Yang Shang said with a smile: "That's the best. I will immediately promote you as a staff officer of the Central Guard Army, with the rank of second-rank official, and then send five dragon knights to escort you to Lieshan Province at night, how about it?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

...

Zhou Ziyang turned around and left.

After a long while, Yang Shang looked at Xun Xi and said, "Master Xun, what do you think Zhou Zi Yang Cheng is?"

Xun Xi's face was calm, and he said: "Master Zhouziyang is a natural genius, if he faces Lin Muyu calmly and calmly, he will definitely not lose the wind, coupled with the strength of Lord Longxi, it is very likely to defeat Lin Muyu, the only thing I am worried about is that Mr. Zhouziyang is too If you are eager to succeed, it will become a fatal weakness and will be used by Lin Muyu."
