Chapter 163: A Dead End of Thinking

At that time, 40,000 Western Vietnamese soldiers made their choice.

Among them, 12,000 people chose the first option, which was to disperse and settle in various parts of the Great Zhou.

20,000 men chose the second option, they would follow Chu Zheng to the Western Yue tribe, but only to defend Chu Zheng's territory.

Another 7,800 people chose the third option, and they would fight under the leadership of Chu Zheng.

There are also two hundred people who have cultivated to a higher level and were pulled out by Wang Xiuyan alone, and they will also follow Chu Zheng to fight. Most of these people were some of the 40,000 soldiers with ranks, ranging from a few hundred to thousands. The lowest cultivation is bone refining, and the highest cultivation is the middle congenital stage.

Chu Zheng was also a little surprised that so many people followed him, but after thinking about it for a while, it was already clear. Speaking of the cruelty of this world, the territory of the Great Zhou is still peaceful in song and dance, but the Xiyue tribe is always killing and killing inside, and the people of the Xiyue tribe have more experience of the cruelty of this world than the people of the Great Zhou. As a commoner, sometimes they are lambs to the slaughter, and as warriors, their commanders will be in charge of all problems. These people chose to become garrison fighters. Those who were more ambitious and wanted to earn a family business and honor for themselves and their children and grandchildren in this war year chose to become soldiers who could go out at any time, regardless of whether the enemy was Western Vietnam or Great Zhou.

Subsequently, under the order of Chu Zheng, there was a major reorganization of all combat forces. When Chu Junsheng was reorganized, Chu Zheng had already come to Lancang Pass.

"Commander Chu, you are coming when you shouldn't come, and you should be leaving when you shouldn't!" Seeing Chu Zheng in the commander's mansion, Wu Tianxiong shook his head with a smile.

"What did the general say about this?" After sitting down, Chu Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously.

Wu Tianxiong said with a smile: "Yesterday I landed in Xilancang Pass, but you were not present for such a great honor. This is the most critical victory between the Great Zhou and the Xiyue Group, open the Xilancang Pass, the Xiyue Group will fall into passivity from now on, and the hinterland of the Xiyue Group will be within the scope of the all-round attack of my Great Zhou monks. It can be said that if the Xiyue group is annihilated by our Great Zhou in the end, in addition to the victory in the battle of the Xiyue Royal Court, the victory in the battle of Xilancang Pass will also be ranked after the attack on Xiyue. Such an important victory, and the commander of Chu played such an important role in it, it can be said that the commander of Chu deserved to plant the dragon flag in the West Lancang Pass. ”

After taking a sip of water, Wu Tianxiong continued: "I also heard the speech of the commander of Chu to the soldiers of the Western Yue tribe yesterday. I have to say that Commander Chu is both compassionate and decisive, and these two different personalities are integrated into Commander Chu but complement each other, which has to be admired by Wu. Commander Chu must have come today for the arrangement of those prisoners of war. But it's useless for you to come to me. I have written to the court and made everything clear, and I think the will of the court will soon come down. ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty had a special emergency information transmission department in its hands, and it was said that this department had a demon bird in its hands that could fly 100,000 miles in a day. Presumably, Wu Tianxiong initiated this special method and passed on the current situation of the great victory of Xilancang Pass and Chu Zheng to the imperial capital.

"General, the emergency military intelligence report of the imperial capital has arrived!"

A soldier rushed into the hall and got down on one knee, holding two paper balls in both hands.

Wu Tianxiong stretched out his hand and put the two paper balls into his palm, opened them and looked at them, he was startled at first, then put the paper balls on the table next to him, took two steps back, bowed respectfully three times, and then picked up the paper balls.

After opening the first paper ball and reading it, he handed it to Chu Zheng, and Chu Zheng took it and saw that the paper ball was an urgent report from Yiling Pass to the Great Zhou Imperial Court.

Yesterday, the 80,000 Xiyue tribe group of the northwest barbarian monks in Yiling Pass waved their troops south.

In a simple sentence, Chu Zheng seemed to have seen the changes in the southeast of the Xiyue group. With a faint smile, he handed the paper ball back to Wu Tianxiong.

There were 170,000 monks in the Great Zhou of Yiling Pass, and there were about 100,000 monks in the Xiyue group and the Northwest Wilderness, and the total number of people who came one after another was about 150,000. With the progress of the battle and the casualties on both sides, as well as the transfer of 55,000 Great Zhou monks to Xilancang Pass, there are now almost 100,000 Great Zhou monks in the direction of Yiling Pass, and almost 70,000 in the Xiyue group and the Northwest Barbarian Wilderness.

In the direction of Lancang Pass, there were about 100,000 monks in the Great Zhou, while there were about 110,000 in the Western Yue Group and the Northwest Barbarian Wilderness.

The main reason why the gap between the two sides of the Great Zhou victory is narrowing is that the Great Zhou has only replenished the number once, but the Western Yue Group and the Northwest Wilderness are constantly replenishing.

For Da Zhou, this is a victory that will reap great benefits, but defeat will not involve an existential war. In the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether it is the imperial family or the sect of the gate valve family, there are also a large number of monks. For the Western Vietnamese Massate, defeat meant destruction.

Folding the paper ball and putting it on the table, he saw Wu Tianxiong looking at him with a strange face.

Facing Chu Zheng's inquiring gaze, Wu Tianxiong handed another piece of paper to Chu Zheng. Chu Zheng took a look, then raised his head to look at Wu Tianxiong, he understood why Wu Tianxiong had this expression.

Wu Tianxiong shrugged, "This is Your Majesty's handwriting. ”

As an emperor who ruled the Great Zhou Dynasty with all kinds of opportunities, most of the holy decrees were expressed by the emperor with a simple meaning, written by his subordinates, and finally sealed by the emperor. Therefore, the emperor rarely wrote by hand.

The paper ball is a handwritten letter of Zhou Yuanchu, and the general content is that Chu Zheng has the greatest credit for the great victory in Xilancang Pass, and he heard that Chu Zheng claimed to be the commander, so that the Great Zhou Emperor Zhou Yuanchu was greatly relieved. Hearing about Chu Zheng's practice in Xilancang Pass, Zhou Yuanchu did not hesitate to express his praise, and the problems faced by Chu Zheng were not a problem in the eyes of the Great Zhou Emperor. All it takes is for Chu Zheng to write an urgent military information and send it over, and he Zhou Yuanchu will approve the promulgation of the holy decree. As for Chu Zheng's self-proclaimed commander, now that so many people claim to be the commander, it is a bit small, and Zhou Yuanchu directly gave Chu Zheng the title of commander.

The military rank of the Great Zhou Dynasty is divided into nine ranks.

Yipin: Marshal. It has always been the emperor's own appointment.

Second product: general, capital. They can all be called commanders, and generals can also be called generals, the difference between the two is that generals are only responsible for fighting, and they are all in charge of the military and government.

Three products: general soldiers. General Affairs Local Military.

Four products: generals, commanders.

Five products: deputy general, garrison.

Six products: thousands of generals, commanders, and town guards.

Seven products: 100 households.

Eight Pins: What's long.

Nine products: five husbands.

Now Chu Zheng is nominally the capital, that is, he is on an equal footing with Wu Tianxiong. Although Zhou Yuanchu made it clear that Chu Zheng was just a pronoun, so that he could use it for tiger skin, and he would have his own independent territory in the future, he also instructed Wu Tianxiong, Zhou Qian, and Zhou Xuanfeng to listen to Chu Zheng's opinion when they had something.

This is what makes Wu Tianxiong's face strange. And what made Chu Zheng's face strange was that Zhou Yuanchu clearly said that Chu Zheng said, "I can only help Da Zhou so much, I can only help you so much", Zhou Yuanchu understood what Chu Zheng meant, and also accepted Chu Zheng's feelings.

"I can only help Da Zhou so much, I can only help you so much" This sentence Chu Zheng muttered to himself when he was intercepted and killed by Jin Dan Qi Refining Chenggang and returned to the station, and there was only Zhao Yingying around.

Zhou Yuanchu said this sentence, and it also showed that the relationship between Zhao Yingying or Zhao Men and the imperial family was extraordinary, and at the same time, there were also high-ranking people in the imperial family, and they could also understand the meaning of Chu Zheng.

"Chu Zheng, what does that last sentence mean?" After all, he is a military attachΓ©, and he is also a Qi Refining Chenggang Cultivator, Wu Tianxiong spoke directly under curiosity.

Chu Zheng handed the paper ball back to Wu Tianxiong and said, "Promise me to hide this article from Zhou Xuanfeng, and I will tell you." ”

"Hide the last one from Zhou Xuanfeng?" Wu Tianxiong immediately realized, "You can rest assured of this, there is a special ink, colorless, odorless, and no spiritual power fluctuations, I will hide this one." ”

Chu Zheng was satisfied with Wu Tianxiong's answer and asked, "What is the best result for Da Zhou?"

Wu Tianxiong replied without hesitation: "The more people die on both sides, the better, and the longer the time drags on, the better." ”

Wu Tianxiong himself can sit in Lancang Pass is Zhou Yuanchu's confidant, and Zhou Yuanchu trusts Chu Zheng so much, he has nothing to hide.

"The more people who die, the longer it drags on. But these family valve sects are not fools, so they have to give them hope and let them invest more. ”

Wu Tianxiong nodded slightly, he thought so too. Then he was suddenly stunned, and then looked at Chu Zheng in astonishment,

Chu Zheng took a sip of tea indifferently and said indifferently: "There are a lot of people dying in this situation now, and it will take a long time." If we delay making a breakthrough, I am afraid that many people will lose patience. ”

Wu Tianxiong said that he understood, and he also understood that this situation was created by Chu Zheng. But he still didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor thanked Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng put down the teacup and looked at Wu Tianxiong and said, "What if the strategic transfer I designed was not transferred to Xilancang Pass, but to the Xiyue Royal Court?"

"What if those guerrilla battles in the early stage of Yiling Pass sent 10,000 people to kill the Xiyue royal court with great momentum?"

"What about laying a big array on the way to the Xiyue Royal Court on the way to the royal court?"

"If 50,000 people are immediately dispatched to intercept and kill in half a step after the victory at Xilancang Pass, and another 50,000 people are sent to Yiling Pass to cover up and kill from the rear, what will be the result?"

Chu Zheng's mouth opened a little wider every time he asked Wu Tianxiong, and finally Chu Zheng tapped his finger on the table and asked: "What if my strategy is not to break the pass, but to form an encirclement from the rear for the purpose of exterminating the Xiyue monks, and make dumplings for the tens of thousands of monks in the Xilancang Pass?"

Wu Tianxiong exhaled a long breath and said, "Although the pass is broken quickly, the monks of the Xiyue Department have run 30,000 people, more than half. ”

A total of about 200,000 monks were invested in the Western Yue Tribes and the Northwest Wilderness, and 30,000 more monks died and 30,000 fewer monks died, which had a considerable impact on the future war situation.

"I only brought their thinking out of the dead end of attacking the two levels in Yiling Town, but I didn't bring their thinking out of the dead end with the purpose of breaking the level. And ......," Chu Zheng said leisurely, "I'll let them fall deeper and deeper!"
