Of course, this first army can't be too capable of fighting, otherwise, it will sweep in all directions, and Ivan will be vigilant, and at the same time, he will have to think about how to expel them in the future.

According to the above conditions, there are too few clans that can meet the requirements. For example, the vanguard legion, that is, it is too capable of fighting, and naturally it is not good; The Dragon and Tiger Legion knows the situation here too well and does not meet the requirements; A legion that is too strong is also not allowed; The commander of the Second Legion, Huang Zhong, is more than weak and lacks rigidity, and it is difficult to show the majesty of the Celestial Empire, and it is not too consistent. Choose and choose, only Dian Wei's character is the most suitable.

Dian Wei, who feels very reckless, naturally has nothing to do with him, the level of fighting is in the upper middle of the legions, not the strongest, but definitely not the weakest, when it comes to being strong, how many people will care about the strength under recklessness? So this is the reason why Zhang Chao chose the Sixth Army as the starting legion to attack.

Guo Jia and others naturally saw through this, so they supported Zhang Chaodian and Dian Wei. Li Ru also saw this, so he asked Commander Dian Wei to do things in the past, and how to do things in the future. Because Zhang Chao took a fancy to this point of humanity, he ordered the Sixth Legion, if Dian Wei changed because of this, it was not what the emperor expected.

Dian Wei can't see through this, but there is one thing he is smart, that is, what the military advisor says he does. Everyone is a member of the Sixth Legion, and the military advisor will never harm himself, even if this is the case, why bother thinking about so many things?

Under Dian Wei's preparation, one day later, the 500,000 troops of the Sixth Army were ready to march. Or that they had already prepared for the idea of going out, and most of the day was spent checking equipment and food and grass.

As soon as the hour came, Dian Wei set off with the military order given by Zhang Chao, and left the pill capital city towards the territory of the former husband Yu Kingdom, which had been occupied by the Celestial Empire.

Only ten days later, the 500,000-strong army crossed the Fuyu border and arrived at the largest city on the border of Rus', Hypaolan.

As a border city between Rus and the Celestial Empire, Haibaolan has experienced wars and has been occupied by Zhang Chao.

It is precisely because of this experience that the powerful emperor of Yaxiongfu in the later period spent a lot of money to renovate it, and the city is now taller and more majestic than before.

When Dian Wei led the Sixth Legion to see the majesty of the city of Hai Paulan from afar, he couldn't help but sigh, this city is so high, if Zhijian wants to attack directly, in addition to using black-clothed cannons, I am afraid that it will need to pay a lot of price.

It can also be seen from this point alone that the Rus Kingdom is still wary of the Celestial Empire, otherwise there would be no need to repair the border city so strongly.

It's just that the fortified border city that could have blocked the entry of the Celestial Empire army was indeed at the gate of the city gate at this moment, not only that, but there was also a Rus army wearing grass green uniforms at the city gate to greet them, and in the crowd, it was Utkin, the trusted minister of the second prince Ivan, who stood in the crowd.

It has been more than a month since Utkin asked for help from the Celestial Empire at the request of his military advisor Feradimir. Except for the time on the road, it has been almost a month since he sent a letter of help to the Celestial Empire, and finally waited for the reinforcements of the Celestial Empire, and as soon as they appeared, it was a full 500,000, which made him very satisfied.

For asking for help from the Celestial Empire, there is not only one voice in the camp of the second prince Ivan, at least some people are worried that this will be a plan to lure the tiger and drive away the wolf, after all, they have already understood the combat power of the Celestial Empire's army, and it is no worse than the army of Rus. If one day, with the help of them, the Great Prince Anatoly is defeated, but people really don't want to leave, then what? Is there going to be a war with the Celestial Empire?

In this regard, Philadimir's answer is indeed very simple, that is, although the Celestial Empire is strong, it has erected enemies everywhere, and it has not even completely unified its own country until now, and it has provoked the countries of the Western Regions, so such a warlike nation and country will not be the opponent of Rus.

In other words, Feradimir did not really put the Celestial Empire in his eyes, in addition to the fact that the Rus Kingdom is located in a severe cold region, and the cold weather for nearly half a year is unbearable, and the general army can't stand it, and there is also the day when the Celestial Empire's army does not withdraw, he will unite with those forces hostile to Zhang Chao and drive them out.

If it weren't for the Anatoly Grand Prince joining forces with Kazakhstan and Ukraine, Feradimir wouldn't need to ask for reinforcements. It was precisely because the other party had foreign aid and posed a threat to himself that he was not allowed to ask the Celestial Empire for help.

From this point of view alone, Feradimir is a very confident person. has been a national teacher for so many years, and one person is above 10,000 people, so that he has long forgotten how to write the word failure. Perhaps in his heart, the Celestial Empire army is just a calling girl who can be called around. The only difference is that when he asks the other party to leave, he needs to pay a little money and profit.

It was precisely because Feladimir did not take the Celestial Empire, which was erected enemies everywhere, and he did not believe that a country that had just been established for less than ten years would dare to be an enemy of the powerful Rus', so he asked for help. But what he didn't know was that it would be the wrong thing he would ever do in his life. Even if the Celestial Empire comes, how can it be so easy to leave, if you don't get enough benefits, or even if you don't achieve Zhang Chao's goal of expanding the territory of the Celestial Empire, I'm afraid you won't leave at all.

Utkin naturally didn't know about these thoughts of Ferakimir, and what he wanted to do was to bring in reinforcements from the Celestial Empire and let them fight against the army of the Great Prince Anatoly.

Seeing that the army of the Celestial Empire was even 500,000 people, he was naturally overjoyed, and began to kill pigs and sheep early, making a warm welcome gesture.

The warm reception of the Rus' country, Dian Wei naturally would not be polite, and after watching the army enter the military tent that Utkin had prepared long ago, he went to eat and drink with the generals of the Rus' country.

If you want to say that the good wine of the Rus' country, this is a world-famous thing, perhaps because you always live in a cold zone, drinking alcohol can keep warm, so that the people here are naturally good wine, and the amount of alcohol is good.

Comparatively speaking, the amount of alcohol consumed by the soldiers of the Celestial Empire was not so good, but there were also some people who liked it. For example, Guo Jia, although he looks weak, but he is actually a good drinker, if Zhang Chao did his best to curb it in this life, plus the divine doctor Hua Tuo to heal him, I am afraid that he would not have lived today.

In comparison, even the scribes are so good at drinking, and a fierce general like Dian Wei has an abnormal preference, just because Zhang Chao has already had a military order, and the army is not allowed to drink alcohol when marching and fighting, otherwise, I am afraid that what he is carrying with him now is not a kettle, but a wine jug.

Now, Rus Guo was hospitable and took out good wine, Dian Wei naturally would not be polite, this is equivalent to drinking under the order, and he sat down unceremoniously at the moment.

In charge of accompanying Dian Wei was the general of the Rus' State, Matwei, which translated into Chinese means a gift, and he likened Dian Wei's arrival to the best gift from God to the peace of the Rus' State. Because of such a mentality, the two can be said to be like each other at first sight, and immediately talked about everything, collided with wine glasses, and drank bitterly.

Compared with the enthusiasm of the relationship between the generals, the relationship between Utkin and Li Ru, the military division of the Sixth Army Corps, is also heating up rapidly.

Utkin's Chinese translation means duck, but he didn't say sorry, and after sitting down, he chattered endlessly.

Li Ru listened more and talked less, understanding the situation here. But his mouth is not idle, but whenever someone raises a glass to salute him, he will also drink it all. As a wise man who came out of Xiliang, his alcohol consumption is also very comparable.

After drinking together, everyone's relationship seems to have become much closer. Utkin even took advantage of the fact that everyone was slightly drunk, and took the initiative to talk about sending troops to Nexus City.

There are two ways to enter the capital of the Rus' country, the city of Great Rus, from Hybolan. One is from the northeast and enters Great Rus through the cities of Adan and Pahan, and the other is facing northwest, passing through Nexus, Beitki and Sangalbe.

These two roads are controlled by the eldest prince and the second prince respectively. Among them, the great prince Anatoly occupies the northwest road. At Utkin's suggestion, the army was to go straight to Lienks, which was tantamount to an open battle with the Grand Prince, which meant that both sides became enemies.

Obviously, Utkin just wants to use this way to make the Celestial Empire make a choice, then you are the reinforcement you invited by the second prince, of course, you are equivalent to the enemy of the eldest prince.

For Utkin's idea, Li Ru has long been prepared. In fact, according to Emperor Zhang Chao's meaning, whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, they will be the enemies of their Celestial Empire. Even if there was no civil strife in Rus, it would be a matter of time before the Celestial Empire army entered here.

Civil strife is tantamount to giving the Celestial Empire's army a suitable excuse to enter. Even so, it was planned to turn his face with the eldest prince, so why be afraid?

Therefore, after Utkin finished talking about the plan, Li Ru expressed his support and agreed that if they were willing to take the lead, they would take the lead in marching towards Nexus City.

Regarding Li Ru's statement, Utkin was naturally overjoyed. immediately expressed his admiration for the Celestial Empire army, and promised that once the Celestial Empire army was to move, their grain, grass and ordnance would be solved by the second prince, and he was also willing to give the title of warrior of the Rus Kingdom to the outstanding Celestial Empire soldiers who appeared in the war.

The so-called warrior title, whether it is Li Ru or Dian Wei, naturally doesn't care, a country that is about to perish, the so-called honor is naturally the most worthless. But the two still showed enough enthusiasm and expectations for the sake of the big plan.
