Seeing Wei Zhi suddenly bow to himself, Ling Yi hurriedly flashed to the side, hurriedly supported Wei Zhi, and said, "Uncle, this can't be done!"

Wei Zhi insisted: "This is a father, an uncle's thanks and entrustment to you!"

"Uncle has anything, just give orders, don't do this!" Ling Yi helped Wei Zhi up!

Wei Zhi said: "Thank you for saving Wei Yun before!"

"Third prince?" Ling Yi wondered why Wei Zhi suddenly mentioned his matter about Wei Yun like this, and hurriedly said: "I was just a coincidence that time, and besides, as a subordinate, even if I fight to the death, I have to save the prince!"

"No, now I'm not talking to you about the prince, but my nephew Wei Yun, I thank you, not because you saved the prince, but because you thank you as an uncle!" Wei Zhi explained.

"Hai, Uncle Wei, you should treat it as a nephew, I should help my relatives at home!" Ling Yi replied.

"Yes, you're right, in fact, we are also a family!" Wei Zhi said excitedly, and then spoke: "In the future, I want you to take care of Wei Yun and Wen Tao more!"

"Ah, I only have this ability, I'm afraid I don't have the strength to take care of it, and besides, my uncle is upright and prime, I obey my uncle's arrangement!" Ling Yi wondered how Wei Zhi could say such a thing today.

"You promise me first, I still have something to tell you!" Wei Zhi spoke to Ling Yi with a serious expression.

Ling Yi didn't know how to speak, but he thought that Wei Yun was his cousin, Wei Wentao was his good brother, and he had the ability to take good care of them, even if he didn't have the ability, he was desperate, Ling Yi had to protect them!

"Uncle, don't worry, Ling Yi should do his best to protect the integrity of Wen Tao and the third prince, and he will never give up!"

"Okay, very good, I'll rest assured!" Wei Zhi finally stretched his brows.

In fact, Ling Yi knew that Wei Zhi valued Haoran Academy behind him more, or Chu Nanfei, but Ling Yi still agreed to Wei Zhi!

Looking at Wei Zhi's appearance, Ling Yi faintly felt that something was going to happen, but he didn't know what it was!

Wei Zhi said to Ling Yi: "I will let Wen Tao and bring his subordinates to join you in a while, and they will be your soldiers in the future, including Wen Tao!"

"Hmm, uncle, what does this mean?" Ling Yi became more and more unable to understand Wei Zhi's words, Wen Tao was the best choice in the heavy cavalry, how could Wei Zhi let him follow him?

"I'll tell you this slowly, what is the current situation?" Wei Zhi asked.

"Now?" Ling Yi pondered, thinking about what he had seen and guessed before he came, and asked, "Uncle, is there going to be a war?"

Wei Zhi nodded helplessly and replied: "You have already seen it, this is a fact that cannot be concealed, in fact, it started last year, but the state was forcibly suppressed by me, but you know the situation in Youzhou best." What's more, Yongzhou is not optimistic, and the entire border defense of Yongzhou has fallen when the snow closed the mountain!"

Ling Yi was shocked and asked, "How could it be? Isn't there no military intelligence in Yongzhou all along?"

has not received a military report that Yongzhou was broken through the border, Ling Yi thought that Yongzhou was at most like Youzhou, and lost the battle, but he didn't miss, but he didn't expect it to come to such a point.

"The current situation is not optimistic, the entire empire, I am most worried about Yongzhou and Youzhou, and now I can still bear the annexation, but I don't know how long I can resist!" Wei Zhi sat weakly in his chair.

"According to the situation of the state, it shouldn't be a problem to resist the Northern Wilderness, but it shouldn't be a problem for us to retreat to the Wanqing checkpoint and defend with the terrain!" Ling Yi proposed.

"No, you can't retreat, as long as you retreat, Yongzhou will be finished!" Wei Zhi said objectively.

"Huh?" Ling Yi didn't know what the connection between the two was.

Wei Zhi could only explain slowly: "I sent troops to the Wanqing Checkpoint, in fact, on the one hand, it is to contain the Northern Wilderness, and on the other hand, it is used to deter Rakshasas. ”

"In addition to our merger state, Jizhou, Jiaozhou, and Yangzhou are already gathering troops, I am stationed here for a day, and if I can contain the Northern Wilderness for a day, the Rakshasa will also be afraid of me to break through the Northern Wilderness, and then turn to the Rakshasa through the border of the Northern Wilderness, so they dare not act rashly, but as soon as I withdraw from the army, they will know that we have no strength to fight, at that time, the two empires will attack at the same time, and the state and Yongzhou will be in danger!"

Listening to Wei Zhi's explanation, Ling Yi also understood why Wei Zhi had stayed in the ice and snow of the grassland for a whole winter!

Wei Zhi is now like the key to deterring the two empires, as long as he makes a slight move here, it will trigger the actions of the two empires, which also makes Ling Yi know the strength of the Bingzhou army led by Wei Zhi, otherwise it is impossible to deter the two empires with only 200,000 troops, besides, the Bingzhou army gathered on the Wanqing grassland plus the Jizhou army supported by it, there are only about 140,000 in total, which makes the enemy dare not move.

Ling Yi pondered for a while and asked: "According to what is said in the military book, in such a stalemate, there will always be a stage of peace talks, and not many hostile countries in history have either started fighting or talking about peace after a period of confrontation, and now they are fighting and fighting, is there no chance for peace talks?"

Wei Zhi nodded, and shook his head again: "According to normal development, there may be a war in early spring, and then the two sides will initiate peace talks regardless of whether they win or lose, no matter how strong the national strength is, it will not be able to withstand the consumption of war." ”

Ling Yi thought that what Wei Zhi was talking about next was peace talks, but Wei Zhi spoke again, but it was beyond Ling Yi's expectations.

"I can't talk about it this time!"

Ling Yi asked strangely, "Why?"

Wei Zhi explained: "I said that Jizhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou are already gathering troops!"

"You mean, there will be a big war? This is not good for the country!" Ling Yi frowned, this was the shocking news he heard.

"As you said, I know that the longer the war lasts, the greater the consumption of the empire, but this is unavoidable. I heard Liao Wei say that he met you in the Refining Alliance?"

"Yes!"

"Then do you know what Liao Wei lost and did?" Wei Zhi asked.

Ling Yi recalled his experience in the Refining Weapon Alliance a few months ago, and suddenly suddenly realized: "Could it be that the empire is not to rectify the Refining Weapon Alliance, but really needs a large number of weapons!"

Originally, Ling Yi thought that Liao Wei went to deliver the decree and provided a large number of weapons within a time limit, just to take the opportunity to rectify the Refining Weapon Alliance, but it turned out that this was not the reason, the empire really needed a large linkage weapon, and this was to raise the strength of the whole country to start a battle!

"You're right, now Jizhou needs a large number of weapons to arm the assembled imperial soldiers!" Wei Zhi gave Ling Yi an affirmative reply.

"How many troops will that be?" Ling Yi asked suspiciously.

Wei Zhi sighed: "Hey, the three major state capitals, plus the army camp in the empire, a total of 480,000 lions!"

"What, nearly half a million troops?" Ling Yi stood up in shock.

Wei Zhi nodded and said, "Far more than that, plus the original army of nearly 200,000 in Yongzhou, it will be less than 700,000 troops!"

"Seventy, seven hundred thousand, uncle, what is this army going to do?" Ling Yi asked in a trembling voice, as long as this army moved, it would be the beginning of a disaster on the mainland!

"Hey, His Majesty the Emperor wants to use troops against the Rakshasas, he wants to recover the lost territory of Yongzhou, and he is ready to attack the Rakshasas, and even wants to expand the territory!" Wei Zhi shook his head helplessly!

"Expanding the territory?" Ling Yi muttered, although he didn't have such a concept in his heart, but he knew that this was good to say was to expand the territory, and to say it badly was aggression, raising the country's 700,000 troops to carry out that evil act of aggression, Ling Yi didn't know why the emperor was so determined to start a war.

"This time, the emperor will drive the expedition in person!" Wei Zhi threw another bombshell, which made Ling Yi not know how to answer.

After a long while, Ling Yi asked, "Uncle asked me to take care of Wen Tao and the third prince, aren't you optimistic about this expedition?"

Wei Zhi didn't answer in a hurry, but asked Ling Yi rhetorically: "Let's talk about your opinion first!"

Ling Yi hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "I can't see whether it is good or bad, but judging from the wars of all dynasties, the aggressor side often does not end well! Just like when the Dongsheng Empire was established, weren't Dongsheng's apprentices occupied by many surrounding countries? But in the end, it was not the emperor and the old duke who fought back, united the people of the whole country, and forced the invaders out of Dongsheng's territory!"

Listening to Ling Yi's words, Wei Zhi smiled and nodded: "Your analysis is good, I am also not optimistic about such a war, if it is to defend against the enemy, or to regain lost territory, then Dongsheng is standing on the moral high ground, and it will also be supported by the people of the whole country, as well as the support of surrounding countries." But once the aggression is carried out, not only will the people not support it, but also the surrounding countries will not be able to support it, who knows that after you finish fighting others, you will turn around and be bigger than the surrounding countries? Therefore, as long as the invasion begins, Dongsheng will face more than the counterattack of the Rakshasas, the Northern Wilderness is destined to attack with all its might, and the Southern Barbarians will not sit idly by, and the other small countries are even more cold-mouthed, and they will definitely form an alliance with the Rakshasas, the Northern Wilderness, and the Southern Barbarians, and when the time comes, we will face the hostility of the entire continent!"

Ling Yi nodded, he didn't see Wei Zhiyuan, but he also knew that this was not conducive to Dongsheng, just like Youzhou sending troops, Rakshasa took the opportunity to capture the border checkpoint in Yongzhou, which was a warning.

The two were silent, Ling Yi was thinking about the outcome of the next war, but with his eyes, he really couldn't see the power and changes in it.

After Wei Zhi was silent, he continued: "His Majesty the Emperor will send troops next month, and the military order I received is to forcibly attack the Northern Wilderness in half a month, so as to annex the state to contain the Northern Wilderness, and not let the Northern Wilderness form an alliance with the Rakshasa to support the Rakshasas!"

Ling Yi was sitting in a precarious position, he knew that the point was coming, although those before were shocking, but how much they had to do with his own martial arts, now what he said involved his own personal body!

"What does Uncle command, even if you explain Ling Yi, Ling Yi will definitely live up to his mission!" Ling Yi got up and stood respectfully.

"I'm going to give you a mission after launching an attack!"

"What task?" Ling Yi asked curiously!

Wei Zhida: "I want you to lead your troops and Wen Tao's cavalry to take a trip to the city of the burial ground!"

"Burial City!" Ling Yi was instantly shocked and repeated, his hands trembling a little, this day has finally come!
