() The next day, Wei Changfeng finally arrived at the Near East City with an army of 400,000.

Zhang Cheng stood in the city tower, quietly watching the smoke and dust brought up by the 400,000 army marching forward.

Wei Changfeng rode on top of the cloud dragon and saw Zhang Cheng from a distance.

At this moment, Wei Changfeng had the confidence to win in his heart, and the Taoist priest in front of him had never lost.

Wei Changfeng flew directly to the city tower: "Dao Chief." ”

There are no outsiders, Wei Changfeng is still called Zhang Chengdao.

Zhang Cheng: "It's been hard work along the way. ”

Wei Changfeng: "I'm nothing, when I was in Xizhou, when I was fighting with the demon clan, I fought for three months in a row, and this little distance is nothing." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Settle the army, and we will discuss tactics in the evening." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Okay, there is a Taoist chief here, I have to rest assured about this crusade." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Do I give you confidence so much?" ”

Wei Changfeng: "Of course, Dao Chief, when have you not been reassured." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Okay, it seems that I have a lot of weight in your heart, and it can be regarded as a little achievement." ”

Next, Wei Changfeng returned to the army, and then under the guidance of Yang Yuan, let the 400,000 army live in the barracks.

The Near East City is actually a military city, and the people here are all military households. That is to say, the children of every family are destined to join the army when they grow up.

There aren't many ordinary people living in the Near East. Instead, the military made up the majority of the population of the Near East.

In the evening, in the large camp of the barracks, all the generals and officials of the Near East City gathered here.

Wei Changfeng looked at the hanging map of Dongzhou and did not speak. Wei Changfeng didn't speak, and neither did anyone present, and the atmosphere was very quiet.

Wei Changfeng: "National Teacher, what do you think we should do at the moment?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Reconnaissance, if we want to win a war, we need to have enough information, and we can't fight indiscriminately. ”

Wei Changfeng: "Indeed, investigation is essential. Do we have specific information about Donglai City now? ”

Zhang Cheng: "There are some. ”

Wei Changfeng: "What is it?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Donglai City, there are now 100,000 troops from Dongzhou, this is the news from the beacon tower, it should be reliable." Moreover, Dongzhou is now clearing the wilderness, and they have transported the grain and grass to Lintianguan. ”

Wei Changfeng: "Lintianguan, here." ”

Wei Changfeng glanced at the map again, focusing on Lintian Pass: "Here, it's easy to defend and difficult to attack." Anyone with a little military common sense will choose to defend here. ”

Zhang Cheng: "yes, so I made a prediction. I guess that Dongzhou wants to play delaying tactics with us, at the beginning, these cities, it is estimated that they have given up, and their defensive focus will be placed on Lintianguan. Then confront us at Lintian Pass, and then send a small force to cut off our logistical supplies. ”

Wei Changfeng: "What the national teacher means is that they want us to cut off food directly, and they can't confront them at Lintianguan for too long." ”

Zhang Cheng: "For now, this is the most reasonable outcome. Without food, our huge army would have to retreat. Once you return to the Near East City again, if you want to fight again, the resources consumed are not a small amount. ”

Wei Changfeng: "There is some truth in what the national teacher said. But do the soldiers and horses of Dongzhou just want us to draw? They don't want to beat us? ”

As a general who has been fighting all year round, Wei Changfeng is aiming to win every battle. It's just a draw with the opponent, and no general wants to do such a thing.

Zhang Cheng is not a general after all, and he can't understand the mentality of the generals. In Zhang Cheng's opinion, if Dongzhou goes

This step, their losses can be minimized, and there will be no danger, which is a very suitable strategy for the battle situation at this time.

Zhang Cheng: "General Wei, what strategy do you think they will use if they want to win?" ”

Wei Changfeng: "National teacher, this, I don't know, but I still know a little about the king of Dongzhou County, he is not a person who only knows defense." He must have wanted to defeat us. ”

Zhang Cheng: "General Wei, if it is a head-to-head confrontation on the battlefield, how sure are you that you can defeat the army of Dongzhou." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Ninety percent sure, there are no famous generals in Dongzhou, and Dongzhou has not been in war for many years, even if a large number of troops are organized, these troops have no experience in war, and they are just recruits." It can't be compared with the Qilin Legion, the Vermilion Bird Legion, and the Praetorian Guard under my command. ”

The Qilin Legion had just defeated Wu Qianfan some time ago, the Praetorian Guard had captured Xuanguan City, and the Vermilion Bird Legion had been carrying out the task of suppressing bandits in Nanzhou, so they were not recruits.

And Dongzhou has not been at war all year round, and even if it is full of soldiers, they are all new soldiers. Compared with the soldiers of several large legions, the combat effectiveness is far worse.

Zhang Cheng: "Ninety percent sure, that is, the people of Dongzhou will definitely not fight us on the frontal battlefield, they will definitely come up with other tricks." What is this trick? ”

Zhang Cheng knew that the king of Dongzhou County was not a fool, he couldn't beat the court on the frontal battlefield, and he would definitely not fight the court on the frontal battlefield, because this was self-defeating.

Wei Changfeng: "I don't know. But we must be vigilant and wary of their methods. ”

Zhang Cheng: "In this case, we are not in a hurry to send troops, but first send a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to conduct reconnaissance." Have enough information. ”

Wei Changfeng: "It's okay, we are coming from a long distance, and the soldiers are already very tired, and forcibly attacking the city may not be able to achieve results, so it's good to let them rest for a few days." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Since this is the case, it will be set in three days, and after three days, the army will attack and take Donglai City." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Okay." ”

Zhang Cheng: "General Wei, give an order." ”

Wei Changfeng: "National Teacher, didn't you give the order?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "My duty is to supervise the army, you are the general, and it is most appropriate to order you to come down." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Okay, I'll give the order." All the generals obeyed orders. ”

A large number of generals: "The last general listens to orders." ”

Wei Changfeng: "The generals let their troops rest for three days, but during these three days, the daily training continues, and they are not allowed to leave the barracks, let alone disturb the people. Violators, beheaded. ”

All the generals: "The last general listens to orders." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Zhan Tong, Su Daqing listens to the order." ”

Zhan Tong, Su Daqing half-knelt: "The last general." ”

Wei Changfeng: "At the first stop in three days, you will lead the Praetorian Guard to attack Donglai City. ”

Zhan Tong, Su Daqing: "The last general will be ordered." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Listen to the space." ”

One of the generals of the Suzaku Legion stood up to the space: "The last general listens to the order. ”

Wei Changfeng: "The Vermilion Bird Legion is the second echelon to attack Donglai City in three days, and after the Praetorian Guard breaks through Donglai City, you will attack immediately to prevent the enemy from escaping from the front." ”

Xiang Yuhang: "The last general will be ordered." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Next, I will lead an army of 300,000 to block the retreat of Donglai City, and I will eat the 100,000 army of the king of Dongzhou County in one fell swoop." ”

Next, Wei Changfeng continued: "Yang Yuan listens to the order. ”

Yang Yu'an: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Wei Changfeng: "You still lead the soldiers of the 100,000 Blue Dragon Legion to defend the Near East City to avoid the enemy."

The people took advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack the Near East City. ”

Yang Yu'an: "The last general will be ordered." ”

Wei Changfeng: "National Teacher, my order has been issued, do you have anything else to add?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "No, General Wei, your command is very hierarchical, and all aspects have been taken into account, and I admire it." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Thank you for the compliment." Stand down, everybody. ”

In the big camp, everyone else left, leaving Zhang Cheng and Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng: "Dao Chief, in three days, please come and help me sweep the formation and see what our shortcomings are." ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head: "This favor, I can't help?" ”

Wei Changfeng: "Why? ”

Zhang Cheng: "I can't control the killing of human beings against each other, but you asked me to witness this scene, I'm sorry, I can't do it." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Dao Chief, but they are all rebels." ”

Zhang Cheng: "The rebels are also human beings, Poor Dao hopes that you can stop killing so much, if they are willing to surrender, let them surrender." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Dao Chief, betraying the imperial court is a capital crime, and I have no way to accept their surrender." ”

Zhang Cheng: "The real culprit is actually the king of Dongzhou and his subordinates, not these soldiers. Wei Changfeng, do you have to know who the real opponent we are facing after more than 10 years. ”

Wei Changfeng: "This." ”

Wei Changfeng was a little hesitant, on the one hand, he was a rebel, and on the other hand, he was the real opponent of the human race, and he could still resist the demon clan and the sea clan after keeping the rebels.

Zhang Cheng: "I will explain this matter to the emperor, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Okay, Dao Chief, I promise you, if they surrender, I won't kill them." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Okay. In addition, Wei Changfeng, the blood and curse on your body are very heavy, and you may not live to the end. ”

Wei Changfeng: "Dao Chief, what do you mean?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "You have killed too many of your kindred, and your body is full of the blood of your kind, and their curse before they die." Heaven will inevitably give you a very huge difficulty, and if you can't get through it, you will die. ”

Wei Changfeng: "There is still such a thing? ”

Zhang Cheng: "The way of heaven circulates and the principles of heaven are clear." Why do cultivators never take the initiative to kill? On the one hand, it is because of the Heavenly Dao noble life, and on the other hand, it is also because it causes too many killings, and it will eventually lead to fire. ”

Wei Changfeng: "Dao Chief, speaking of curses, I remember. When I imprisoned the prime minister's people, I will never forget the look in their eyes. That kind of resentful look is still fresh in my memory. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Wei Changfeng, let's create a little less killing karma." I can't help you untie the blood in your body. ”

Wei Changfeng: "Dao Chief, how long can I live?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Slow is more than 10 years, fast is less than half a year." Trouble will befall you. ”

Wei Changfeng: "Half a year?" Dying with His Majesty, I can accept it, and when the time comes, I will go down to Huangquan to accompany Chenglin, and it will just happen to be able to make a difference. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Wei Changfeng, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

Wei Changfeng: "What is there to be afraid of, everyone is going to die." And I've seen too much death, and at my age, death is not so terrible for me. ”

Zhang Cheng: "After death, everything about you is gone. ”

Wei Changfeng: "People are born and don't bring it, and they don't die with it." Disappear and disappear, as long as you live a wonderful life, what is there to fear. Dao Chief, the future Shengwu Dynasty will be handed over to you. ”

Zhang Cheng took out a piece of talisman paper: "You take this thing." ”

Wei Changfeng: "Is this a rune paper?" ”
