Chapter 117: The True Purpose of the Barbarian Campaign

In the original history, he was often Yuchun's wife and brother, and in the process of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he made immortal feats, but he was only a master of high merit, and was finally killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now that he is following Liu Cong, whether it is the Yitian World, the Holy Ruins World, or even the Saint King World that has just ended, he has made a lot of achievements.

In this barbarian battle, he was appointed by Xu Da as a vanguard officer, commanding 3,000 vanguard troops to clear obstacles for the army.

"General, since ancient times, the use of soldiers has been to avoid the strong and attack the weak, why did you do the opposite, and be the first to choose the strongest Tianqing Village?"

Following Lan Yu, there was a boy who was only eleven or twelve years old, this was the deputy general of the Vanguard Army, Deng Ai.

As the first batch of first-class students assessed by the church student examination, he was naturally contracted into a reincarnation and followed Liu Cong to the Holy King World.

Not only that, but in the world of the Holy King, he also got a great opportunity, not only promoted to the legend, but also obtained the inheritance of the heaven-level exercises, the Great Sun Blazing Sun Gong.

This harvest, Mo said to teach students, is to count all the reincarnators below Liu Cong, and he can also be assessed as the first sequence.

This is also the reason why he was contested by the three factions later, and was even accepted as a disciple by Xu Shu.

Although he has a great reputation in later generations, for today's Xu Shu, what is a mere historical celebrity?

The core figure of the Ming Dynasty faction, who is not a famous minister and a famous general who has been passed down through the ages?

Don't say that Deng Ai, who has not grown up yet, is to put Zhao Yun and Guan Yu of the Fantasy Three Kingdoms in front of him, if the qualifications and opportunities are not enough, he will not take a look!

However, even if he was promoted to a legend, with his strength and qualifications, he would not have been able to get this position, but at this time, there was no one in the Three Kingdoms faction, so under the strong recommendation of Xu Shu and Kuai Yue, he won this position for him.

However, although the position is obtained, whether he can sit firmly depends on his ability, just as the opportunity is given, whether he can grasp it depends on his own ability.

A smile appeared on Lan Yu's face, although he and Deng Ai belonged to two factions, but the factional struggle under Liu Cong's command had not yet reached the level of life and death.

Although the factions are fighting, they have a bottom line, and they fight but do not break.

Just like the previous debate between the Ming Dynasty and the modernists about offense or defense, although they are mixed with their own purposes, they also have their own reasons in terms of the overall situation.

In the final analysis, under the absolute control of the main god system, it is impossible for Liu Cong to have people under Liu Cong who secretly disregard the interests of the organization for personal interests.

Therefore, as a senior in the army, Lan Yu still appreciates the talents emerging among the juniors, even if they are not his own faction, and is willing to be promoted.

After all, with Zheng Ai's qualifications and the support of the Three Kingdoms faction behind him, he may soon rise to the top, and he may still be above him at that time.

At this time, a good relationship is formed, and it is easy to talk in the future.

"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and it is true that it is the right principle of the art of war to avoid the enemy and attack the weak, but the current situation is changing rapidly, how can it be generalized?"

"You have been in contact with those reincarnators of the Holy Ruins World, and you should know that any war is a continuation of politics, and all tactics are in the service of strategy."

"Tell me, what is the strategic purpose of our war?" Sapphire asked.

Deng Ai thought for a while and said, "This battle is a battle to exterminate the barbarians, and the strategic purpose is naturally to completely eliminate the Wuling barbarians!" ”

"Exterminating the barbarians, this is indeed the goal." Lan Yu nodded, and asked again, "Then why did the lord destroy the barbarians?" ”

"Why?"

Deng Ai was stunned, for him who has lived in Wuling County since he was a child, the barbarians are enemies who are not the same enemy, and the destruction of barbarians is the most natural thing engraved in his bones, do you still need to consider why this kind of thing?

"As a common people, you can only use good and evil to influence your behavior, but as a power leader, your behavior should consider the pros and cons, rather than personal emotions, the lord is a celestial man, how can he act like ordinary people, this personal emotional influence?" Lan Yu said lightly.

Deng Ai hesitated for a moment and said, "The barbarians have been invading Wuling County all year round, and now that the princess is in power, she naturally can't tolerate their provocations, so she must be eliminated." And also...... I heard that Xiangyang recommended the eldest prince Liu Qi to serve as the Jiangxia Taishou, and Sun Quan will soon retire from the army, at that time the eldest prince will have a great merit, and the lord is eager to destroy the barbarians, because he wants to make a greater contribution than retiring Sun Quan, to compete for the throne of the prince. ”

"It is true that the barbarians often invade Wuling County, but after the last defeat of the barbarians, the barbarians will be out of breath for at least two or three years, even if that Shamoke breaks through to the first-class, but as long as he leaves Wuling Mountain, with the strength of our army, even if there is no Wei Yan, he is not afraid, so the worry of barbarian infestation has been solved.

As for the throne of the world, hehe, do you think that with the background of the lord, you will care about a prince? No matter how much those people jump, they can't change the final result! On the contrary, the more they dance at this time, the more they can cover up our secrets here, which is harmless and beneficial to me, and it is too late to be happy, how can they attack for this? Lan Yu smiled.

"That'...... Don't...... Is it because of the barbarians? ”

Deng Ai's brows furrowed, and he suddenly paused, thinking of Liu Cong's arrangements for internal affairs and the main god cult, his expression suddenly said with some incredulity.

Lan Yu laughed: "Haha, sure enough, the children are teachable!" This thing seems incredible, but in fact, as long as you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that this is the most fundamental reason why the lord launched the war against the barbarians! ”

"Think about what is the most important thing for the Lord of the Three Kingdoms? Not land, not wealth, but people! Only with a sufficient population can the lord contract a large number of reincarnations, and the lord's new policy can really show its strength. ”

"The population of Wuling County is thin, only 200,000, and with the current situation, the lord cannot expand to other counties in Jingzhou, although he can recruit displaced people outside Jingzhou, but this matter is not easy, those princes who do not know the importance of the population, will do everything possible to obstruct it, even if they can recruit some, it is a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to take the overall situation."

"If you want to really increase the population on a large scale, you still have to wage wars and plunder the population with wars in order to achieve explosive population growth. And looking around Wuling County, is there a more suitable war object than the barbarians? ”

"If we know the fundamental purpose of war, we will be able to formulate tactics with a clear purpose. In this battle against the barbarians, it is not only necessary to completely eliminate the barbarians, but also to preserve the population of the barbarians as much as possible. Avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, you can really eliminate the barbarians steadily, but step by step, even if you defeat the barbarians, I am afraid that the barbarians will die. ”

"And the first one to attack the strongest Tianqing Village, although it is a hard bone, but as long as it is defeated, it can greatly deter other cottages, and then those weak cottages will definitely fall to the wind, and the population of the barbarians can be greatly preserved!" Lan Yu said.
