The army moved forward, because all of them were cavalry, and the degree was very fast, almost on the day of the arrival of the emperor's decree, the Praetorian Guard led by Liu Qingshan had arrived at the sandbank, which was the most big city in the south of the Shenlong Empire, and it was also the largest of the three official roads to the south.

Millions of troops, mountains of grain and grass, and armaments, etc., were gathered in this great city.

By the time the plan began to be developed last year, it was all already underway.

A few war horses, galloping, approaching, the leader, are a few old acquaintances, such as Su Ya'er, such as the orc Heavenly Sword, yes, this time Liu Qingshan mobilized the legion led by the two to join the battle to the south.

Su Ya'er has been staying in the southeast, and the Heavenly Dao has been staying in the southwest, which is considered two vanguard legions, not to mention the relationship between the orc Heavenly Dao and Liu Qingshan, it is 100% trusted, coupled with the continuous improvement of the status of the orcs, so that the loyalty of the Heavenly Dao to Liu Qingshan is even more dead.

Su Ya'er is Liu Qingshan's return, the first member of the surrender of the general, in recent years under Liu Qingshan's teaching, the progress is very fast, the independent unified army of 100,000 people, the combat effectiveness is not constantly improving, in addition to the two, there are other eight veterans, ten people together, it is the ten major legions, a total of 100 people.

Of course, not all the million-strong army is in the sandbank, the reason why these army commanders gathered here is also to be called, Liu Qingshan wants to hold a military meeting in the Shazhou Palace, and the ten army commanders are the leaders of one party, at this time, of course, they have to come to see the emperor who came from afar.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty is immortal."

Ten people and the guards who came with them, knelt down, for all the guards of the army, the emperor in front of him is a kind of faith, a symbol of spirit, the emperor came to the front line, so that the morale is high, every soldier who sees Liu Qingshan, is surging with unparalleled fighting spirit, as well as murderous spirit.

Liu Qingshan pulled the war horse, stretched out his hand and raised it, and said, "No need to be polite, get up!" ”

"Goofy has seen Your Majesty." The generals got up, and Gao Fei, the lord of the sandbank, had already stepped forward, saluted again, and said, "Your Majesty's residence has been arranged, please follow your Majesty." ”

"Let's go!" Liu Qingshan didn't have a cold quarrel with people, the wind and dust came, although there were a lot of words, but these soldiers also needed to rest, if there was anything to say, it was not too late to stay in the sandbank.

"Yes." Gao Fei should be, waved his hand and fell, dozens of guards who came with him, had turned the horse's head, opened the way for the emperor, as Liu Qingshan drove the horse, all the generals had jumped on horseback, followed, and another hour of galloping, and saw an ancient city in the distance, like a round and a half moon of the moon and a half, dotted with stars.

As the team approached, above the city tower, there was a leisurely sound of war drums, the meaning of its expression is to welcome the emperor, the dust is flying, the tea kung fu, has arrived in front of the tower of Shazhou City, if the city is concerned, this Shazhou City is more magnificent than the tower of Dragon City.

At the beginning of the Dragon City from the ruins of the construction, Liu Qingshan cut the city, as the capital of a country, can be majestic, momentum, but can not be weak, outside the Dragon City, there is a level of fortress-like small Dragon City, no longer need to waste manpower and material resources, get a capital city building, this alone has reduced a large amount of money, reducing the financial pressure of the empire.

But the sand city in front of you is different, the sandbar is the most important in the south of the Shenlong Empire, and it is also the most important checkpoint of the three major passages in the north and south, the previous sandbar was very poor, but since the Shenlong Empire was unfolded, merchants gathered, and there were more businessmen from the south to the north, which also drove this commercial road, Liu Qingshan let the sandbank city intercept three layers of commercial taxes and self-exhibition.

Looking at the newly built city, it is indeed quite imposing.

Two columns of officers and soldiers defending the city have long stood in two rows, the long line, full of a kind of murderous atmosphere of the battlefield, solemn and solemn, Gao Fei who leads the way also avoids one side, Liu Qingshan rode alone, and went first, everyone, knelt down again, shouting the slogan of the emperor, the emperor is immortal.

From outside the city, to the gate of the city, to the tower of the city, the sound is like a contagion, one is higher than the other, the side of the inner city, the people along the road, is standing in two rows, the dragon empire continues to be strong, the sense of belonging of the people of the empire, is also increasing day by day, the emperor came to Shazhou City, for the people of the entire Shazhou City, it is also an infinite glory.

In fact, every citizen of the city here knows that it is necessary to use troops against the south, and generally speaking, where there is a war, there will be refugees fleeing, but in Shazhou City, there is no such sign, and some refugees are constantly entering the city from the south.

"Gao Yunshan, the city lord of Shazhou City, meet His Majesty the Emperor, may my emperor be immortal for a thousand years and be eternal for generations." The city lord finally appeared, this is an old man of about sixty, but with a bit of elegance and sharpness, this Gao family is in the capital, and it is also an old family, as early as the time of the former Emperor Long, he was a minister in the court, and he was good friends with the Lian family.

At the beginning, the position of the city lord was recommended by Lian Yunshan, but now it seems that Gao Yunshan has done a good job, not only has the means, but also knows the proportions, at least judging from the news from the shadow guard, Gao Yunshan has done quite well.

Liu Qingshan jumped off the horse, helped Gao Yunshan up, and said: "Lord Gao, please get up, Lord Gao has served in Shazhou for four years, and he has worked hard, this king has received a fold, the exhibition of Shacheng is quite good, and this king is very satisfied." ”

"Your Majesty praises, the old minister can't help but be overjoyed, Your Majesty trusts the old minister, and the old minister dares not to die." Gao Yunshan didn't dare to take credit, if there was no powerful empire, he was a small southern city lord, I am afraid that he might not be able to do all this, an old minister like him, can become friends with Lian Yunshan, of course, it is like-minded, they are all nationalists, as long as their empire can grow stronger, no matter what kind of sacrifice they make, they will not hesitate.

"Okay, very good, the empire needs courtiers like you, this king is very pleased, when the Southern War ends, it is also the day when Lord Gao returns to Beijing."

"Your Majesty, the old minister wishes Your Majesty a victorious start and a triumphant return." Gao Yunshan raised his head and said, "Your Majesty has traveled for a long time, and I think that the soldiers are already tired, and the meals have been prepared, so you can ask Your Majesty to order to be stationed." ”

"Evergreen."

"Not in."

"Go, leave the hundred guards, and the rest go into the camp to rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

20,000 cavalry were taken away, Liu Qingshan followed Gao Yunshan, and was still the commander of the ten major legions, came to the city lord's mansion together, after some freshening, had a welcome banquet, Liu Qingshan took General Yan and Giselle, and came to the council hall.

Discuss the war, of course, with General Yan and Giselle, as for Sifu and Hua Yan, they each have their own missions, Hua Yan is responsible for Liu Qingshan's daily care, Sifu is responsible for vigilance, listening to the report of the Shazhou Shadow Guard, and finding out all the situation in Shazhou City, which is not only related to the safety of the emperor, but also related to the changes in the southern war.

"Your Majesty."

"Okay, no need to salute, everyone hurry up, Yan General, let people carry the sand table up."

Liu Qingshan used the southern topographic map explored by the shadow guard to make a simple sand-shaped map, which was not an accident for the ten army commanders, because in the Empire's martial arts academy, such a sand table had already been made, and this was also one of the skills that every general needed to master.

In a big war, there are only three major factors that determine the outcome of the battle, the time, the location, and the people.

The time needs to wait, there is no shortage of people, and the geographical advantage is to control the environment, these tactics are no stranger to the army officers of the Shenlong Empire.

The sand table was moved in and put on the big wooden table, all the generals, including the city lord Gao Yunshan, gathered next to the sand table, Liu Qingshan held a long wooden cane, and said: "Everyone, time is limited, and this king is not polite, this time the army is going south, in addition to dealing with the Boxers and the Zhongnan Alliance, the more important task is to completely eliminate the army of the Island Alliance, and this king wants to wipe them all out at one time, once and for all." ”

"Although the Island Alliance claims to be a million soldiers, but there are only 500,000 people who can really fight, and now they are attacking the Empire of the Yugoslav Alliance, approaching the Boxers, and acting recklessly in the south, and the blood is flowing like a river, this king wants to use the most drastic means to destroy all their hopes."

Someone immediately asked, "Your Majesty means that we have to deal with the army of the Island Alliance first?" ”

"Your Majesty, with the millions of soldiers we have gathered now, I am afraid that we will not be able to start a war on both sides, and there will be millions of soldiers in the country of Yihe-----"

Liu Qingshan said: "The Boxer Kingdom is now shrinking into the city, and even the shouting does not dare to fight, and the courage is broken, no matter how many soldiers such a country has, it is not enough to be afraid, Heavenly Sword." ”

"Your Majesty."

The heavenly sword came out in response, and Liu Qingshan said: "By your legion, monitor the Boxers, if the Boxers dare to take advantage of our war with the island to sneak attack, you can attack strongly, kill Wujing, this time, this king personally goes south, and there will be no more empires in the entire south in the future." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Goofy."

"Your Majesty, I won't be there." Gao Feizhu is the son of Gao Yunshan, I heard that he and Da Yu'er are still acquaintances, if it weren't for Liu Qingshan's appearance, I am afraid that the two may get married, and this matter was inadvertently found out by Sifu.

"You lead the men and horses to garrison the area of the Zhongnan Alliance, once the attacking island alliance army retreats, immediately block all the passages, and you must not let the Zhongnan Empire destroy the king's siege plan."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not go all out."

"Very good, now this king orders, the Ninth Legion, attack the Weir Road, the Sixteenth Legion, attack Heguan, the Nineteenth Legion, attack Baicheng-----" In addition to the Orc Legion, as well as the Eleventh Legion of Gao Fei, the other eight legions gathered, each with its own goal, faintly, formed a big encirclement.

"Your Majesty, although we have already marched with the strategy of a large circle, these island alliances have countless warships, if they see that the situation is not good and retreat to the sea, I am afraid that our battle strategy at this moment will be in vain."

In the face of Su Ya'er's inquiry, Liu Qingshan nodded lightly, if it was another empire, as long as the emperor ordered it and forbade it, no one would dare to raise objections, but in the army of the Shenlong Empire, this is not the case, as long as it is a matter of discussing the military situation, you can express your opinions, as long as it is reasonable, you will not be blamed.

One person is short, three people are long, and it is the responsibility of every officer to discuss the best plan and reduce the loss of soldiers.

"Don't worry, above the sea, this king has already made arrangements, what your legions need to do is to eliminate the greatest force to destroy and kill the marriage of the island region, okay, let's act, if there is a new order, there will be a shadow guard in your hands, I wish you all success."
