In the year 1001 of the Heavenly Emperor calendar, the beginning of February.

A fog suddenly rose in the forbidden area of life in the south!

A very sudden, very strange fog, it doesn't know where it came from, directly covered the entire life forbidden area, some border people in the south who have not yet responded to the call to join the imperial army once went to the edge of the life forbidden area to cut wood, but they were directly shrouded in fog.

Later, these border people disappeared directly, and only one of them came back in the end.

When Ji Tianming arrived with the imperial army, he didn't dare to go directly into the forbidden area, and he personally met the border people who came back from the forbidden area of life, and asked in detail about the situation at that time, but the other party's answer disappointed him- The man didn't know anything, only said that after the Imperial War Mobilization Order was launched, all kinds of materials were in a large reserve, and many imperial merchant groups from the north purchased timber and other materials, so everyone was logging, and the trees in front of the village were cut down in the blink of an eye, because the south was the poorest place in the empire, and almost all the people here were committed by their ancestors who committed heinous crimes, so the people who were exiled here were really too backward, in order to use wood to exchange some clothes from those imperial merchant groups, he simply summed it up with a few friends from the same village, and ran to the forbidden area of life to cut wood, and was shrouded in fog。

They are completely lost.

The border man who escaped back said that he couldn't see his five fingers in the fog, and the visibility was less than half a meter, and a few of them stayed there for less than ten minutes, and then they heard the screams of their partners around them, and he was so scared that he ran away, and he didn't deserve to die.

Unable to get any news, Ji Tianming could only leave, and before leaving, he advised the villagers of this village to flee with all the people from all the villages along the way, go to the north, join the imperial army, and use their military exploits to redeem the mistakes made by their ancestors.

......

Late at night, the cold stars are dotted.

At this time, the north is snowing heavily, but the south is only around zero, and the moon and stars are sparse, which is a clear night.

Ji Tianming stood on the deck of the Void Battleship and quietly stared at the snowfall in the south, his eyes were complicated.

"Knock knock. ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and Ji Tianming saw that it was his deputy marshal Su Butai.

This is a veteran, once followed the emperor in the last years of the second era of civilization has been transferred to the Quartet, is one of the first Mongolian warriors to leave the Hulunbuir League in Inner Mongolia, participated in the bloody battle of the emperor's rise to Huadu, followed the emperor to cross the Yangtze River to the south, drink horses and Qinhuai River, and also once went west to Europe, Ping Xuanwu family, after the formation of the new world, it was also a southern and northern war, until the completion of the unification......

This is a truly battle-hardened samurai, with probably the richest combat experience in the entire empire, and he has participated in no less battles than the founding marshal!

"What are you thinking?"

Su Butai smiled, full of white hair, but his waist was still straight, with a majestic body unique to the Mongols, even if he was old, he was an old lion: "What? are you still worried about the war?"

"yes......"

Ji Tianming sighed, looked at Mingyue in the south, but his heart was in the north, and said softly: "I don't know how the imperial army is moving, but now there is a big fog blocking the way, which is really sad!"

Speaking of this, Ji Tianming paused and said, "This fog is weird, and it's also strange!"

It may be the enemy's trick to block the view of our troops with fog, and then they quietly land on our land......"

"Definitely!

This fog can't just come out for no reason!"

Subutai pursed his lips, reached out and patted Ji Tianming's shoulder, and said, "In my opinion, we will enter this dense fog tomorrow!!"

"This ......"

Ji Tianming hesitated: "It's not proper!"

This fog is so weird, wouldn't it be terrible if you went in and got lost in it?"

"Then let a Void Battleship go in first!"

Su Butai said: "Aren't there many detectors on it, I'm a rough person, I don't understand your high technology, but I know a little bit, whether I have to try it to know, tomorrow I will send a Void Battleship to enter the fog for scouts!"

"Isn't that sending them to their deaths?"

Ji Tianming was furious: "This fog is too weird, once you go in, if the detector is useless and can't point out the direction, then the more than 2,300 imperial soldiers on the whole ship will be gone, don't you know, a void battleship has great use for all soldiers, and there must be spare personnel, so that it can operate normally, and if you throw a void battleship to explore the way, you will lose two or three thousand people to gamble with their lives, and it will be human lives!"

"A woman's kindness. ”

Subutai shook his head, and said helplessly: "You, you are good everywhere, you are smart, you have also read books, and you are much more educated than us old and rude."

But...... This is the battlefield!!

Where can you count everything on the battlefield?

A figure like the Great Emperor is not absolutely sure of winning a battle before every battle, and he always says that when he is 50% sure that he can win a battle, he dares to raise troops, because the remaining 50% depends on the number of days!

Because anything can happen on the battlefield, as hesitant as you are, you always want to be 100% sure of what you do, the one who is delayed is the fighter, and the bad is the overall situation!!"

"But it's not your fault, after all, you haven't experienced war. ”

Subutai sighed: "Let me tell you a story, do you know Valerya, the commander of the Empire?"

"Yes!"

Ji Tianming said: "She is still my mentor, I once heard her lecture in Guangwu Academy, it makes sense, and she is worthy of the name of the female god of war." ”

"That's the story about her!"

Subutai said with a smile: "In the last era of civilization, I was ordered to go west, following Lord Valeria in the British with the local dark forces, at that time, our troops were divided into two routes, one led by Lord Batu, and the other led by Lord Valeria.

We fell for the enemy's tactics, Lord Batu was surrounded, and Valeria led us into an enemy minefield that could not be supported.

If we had cleared the mines one by one, by the time we got out of the minefield, Lord Batu would have been annihilated by others, and we would have to be finished, where would there be a great victory in the western expedition later?

At that time, Lord Valeria gave the order and stepped on the minefield!

She sent a death squad to rush through the minefield, and one brother after another was killed, just stepping on a safe way to break out!"

Speaking of this, Subutai glanced at Ji Tianming and said, "Is the situation very similar to now?"

This is war.

If you are given time, you can obviously solve the problem in front of you without paying any price, but the fighter does not wait for anyone, and the loss is greater if you miss it, so in order to win the fighter, you can only use human life to buy time!

In wartime, human life is not valuable, as a commander, you should have a ruthless force, and those who do not follow you will die more, you must remember that you are the commander, and the number of casualties is a number in front of you, not human life!!"

Ji Tianming was stunned and was silent for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay, then do what you say tomorrow!"
