"Yuecheng is four hundred miles away from us, this Yuecheng is the royal city of King Xia Zhen, according to the scout's report, after the defeat of Manshan Pass, King Xia Zhen withdrew to Yuecheng with his thirty or forty thousand remnants of the army, and finally retreated from the south of Yuecheng, which means that Yuecheng is already an empty city!"

"Licheng doesn't want to talk about it, a small city with a population of less than 20,000 is more than 500 miles away from us, and the farthest away from us is Nanxia City, leaning on the southern border of Beijun, more than 600 miles away from us!"

"The general situation, you all know about it, let's talk about how to fight next!" Du Changjing probably talked about the cities in the northern county, and began to ask questions about the battle plan.

Du Changjing's voice fell, and the four generals all fell into deep thought, and after a while, Shao Junguang, the general of Chongnan of the Seven Grades, saluted and replied: "General Yu, the last general thinks that now our army is making slow progress, and it has been almost a month since the full-scale war began, but we have only captured Xia Manshan Pass and a Northern Xia City!" ”

"At this rate, I don't know if the Year of the Ox will destroy the summer, we should divide our troops to attack it and take the entire North County as quickly as possible!"

"How to divide the troops?" Du Changjing asked out loud.

"The general only needs to give the last general 30,000 soldiers and an artillery battalion, and the last general will take Dongxia City within half a month!" Shao Junguang confidently asked.

"General, General Shao's words are not unreasonable, you also give me 30,000 soldiers, an artillery battalion, and the last general dares to issue a military order, and he will take Xixia City within half a month!" From the seventh rank Lingjiang general Xiao Xiong scrambled to ask for his life.

If you lead an army to capture a city alone, it will be a great credit!

That's right, they all went for military merit, and this military merit was placed in front of them, and they didn't take it for nothing.

The fox tail of these two people was exposed, and the anxious horse boldly scolded angrily: "These two rabbit cubs are really treacherous, they robbed the nearest two cities of Dongxia, Shangyanghou, give me 50,000 troops, an artillery battalion, within a month, I will take Yuecheng and Licheng!" ”

Shizong, who was about to speak, scolded his mother in his heart, General Ma, your appetite is too big, you want to take Yuecheng and Licheng in one go, and leave the farthest Nanxia City for me?

Ruthless!

"General, give the last general 30,000 soldiers and an artillery battalion, and the last general will capture Nanxia City within fifty days!" Sejong hurriedly expressed his position, for fear that Ma would boldly repent, so he didn't even give him soup to drink.

For these four people, Du Changjing couldn't cry or laugh, and he also knew that the four of them deliberately did not mention the Shangqiu Imperial Capital, because they wanted to give him the credit of winning the imperial capital.

To tell you the truth, Du Changjing is a little moved now.

"Shao Junguang, Xiao Xiong and Ma boldly asked for orders, the general agreed, and Sejong's request should be changed, so Sejong led 30,000 cavalry, 20,000 foot soldiers and ten directly subordinate artillery battalions to attack the imperial capital of Shangqiu and Nanxia City!" Du Changjing looked at everyone with a smile on his face and said.

Ma Daring, Shao Junguang, and Xiao Xiong stared at each other, and Sejong also showed an incredible look.

The general doesn't want to seize the imperial capital?

"General, you are now a second-class..."

Du Changjing suddenly interrupted Sejong's words, "The general knows, you see that the general is now the second wait, and you want to give the merit of seizing the imperial capital to the general, so that the general can be promoted to the first wait as soon as possible, your kindness, the general understands it, and he is also very pleased!" ”

"But the general doesn't need to seize the imperial capital, because you are all under the command of the general, the city you capture, the credit you take, there is a credit recorded on the head of the general, the general will not take it personally, but it will be less in the history books The word 'pro-take' is just that, it has no impact on the promotion of the first wait, it doesn't matter if you want to or not, anyway, as long as you take the city, the general will be credited!"

Du Changjing knows very well that as long as he succeeds in destroying Xia this time, it is a sure thing for him to be promoted to the first place, because the first battle of destroying Yan has already accumulated a certain amount of military merits for him, and he does not need to grab the credit of his subordinates at all, and besides, he is the commander, the supreme general of the Qin army in Xia, and the credit is no longer calculated according to how many enemies he killed and how many cities he captured, but according to the final victory or defeat.

Defeat, nothing, win, he is the biggest hero of the destruction of Xia!

Therefore, there is no need to go down to the subordinates to grab any merit in seizing the imperial capital, but the merit of seizing the imperial capital will be of great help to them, and it will leave a strong mark on their qualifications and have a huge impact on their future!

"Thank you, General!" Sejong was moved to tears.

He knew very well how much credit he had for winning the imperial capital of Shangqiu, and it was this great credit that moved him!

Shao Junguang and Xiao Xiong were envious, their eyes were round, and they both regretted that they were too quick to express their position, if they were the last to make a statement, wouldn't it be their own to take the imperial capital?

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't wait to give themselves a knife.

I had a chance, but I didn't catch it!

Ma Daring is not so envious, he and Du Changjing are the same generals, as long as the destruction of Xia is successful, Du Changjing is the No. 1 hero, he is the No. 2 hero, and the reason why he asked for orders to attack Yuecheng and Licheng is not to grab credit, but simply idle.

"There's nothing to thank, if you really want to thank you, just take the good news to thank you, during the period when you lead the troops to attack, you will be waiting for your good news in Beichang City, okay, if there is nothing to do, you can go down and prepare!" Du Changjing's face was calm, and his demeanor was calm.

"Then I'll go first, Shangyang Hou is waiting for my good news, haha!" Ma boldly swaggered back and left with a long laugh, and Shao Junguang, Xiao Xiong, and Shizong also saluted and retired one after another.

After Ma Daring and the others left, Du Changjing took a brush stained with red water and drew several red arrows on the map of the territory of Great Xia, each red arrow was the Qin army's offensive route, and every place pointed by the red arrow was the Qin army's attack target.

.....

Next! In the twenty-eighth year of the Holy Qin, May 27th!

As soon as the morning dawned, Shizong, the general of the Qipin Wing Guard, led 30,000 iron cavalry, 20,000 sword and shield soldiers, and ten directly subordinate artillery battalions, with a total of 60,000 troops to attack the imperial capital of Shangqiu 200 miles away and Nanxia City 600 miles away!

From Xiao Xiong, the general of Qipin Lingjiang, led 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 pikemen, 10,000 crossbowmen, and a directly subordinate artillery battalion, a total of 31,000 troops marched southwest to attack Xixia City, which was 300 miles away!

Shao Junguang, the general of Qipin Chongnan, led 20,000 cavalry, 10,000 crossbowmen, and a directly subordinate artillery battalion, a total of 31,000 troops marched to the southeast to attack Dongxia City, which was 300 miles away!

Ma Dabing, the general of Sanpin, led 20,000 sword and shield soldiers, 10,000 pikemen, 20,000 crossbow soldiers, and a directly subordinate artillery battalion, a total of 51,000 troops, marched to the southeast to attack Yuecheng, 400 miles away, and Licheng, 500 miles away.
