Chapter 1394: Evenly matched

Lin Si would not let go of his hatred for Luo Hou, since Luo Hou was subsumed into the Moon Kingdom, Lin Si, as a general, had not even met Luo Hou once.

Although he never targeted Luo Hou because he promised Yue Luoning, but because of him, Luo Hou was excluded and isolated in the Moon Country.

After all, he Lin Si was the first person in the military of the Moon Country, and many of the generals were subordinates who had followed him in battle. Even if Lin Si didn't explain anything, they would still instinctively alienate Luo Hou.

And several important figures in the military of the Yue Kingdom, such as Shen Qing, Fan Xing, Gu Yu, Da Limu, Jia Rong and others have also been taken care of by him to a greater or lesser extent, so it is naturally impossible for them to take the initiative to get close to Luo Hou.

Yue Luoning arranged Luo Hou on Ye Hong's side, which was actually Luo Hou's luck. Compared with others, Ye Hong regarded Yue Luoning's words as a real golden rule.

On the other hand, he is also a person who will not affect state affairs because of personal feelings. Since Yue Luoning asked him to cooperate sincerely with Luo Hou and get along well, Ye Hong naturally would not show off on the surface, but secretly stumbling on Luo Hou.

Because of Ye Hong, Luo Hou was able to quickly gain a foothold in the Northwest Theater.

Lin Si knew all this, but he naturally wouldn't blame Ye Hong for not helping him get angry. He knew that Second Brother Ye was a generous person, not to mention that he had actually secretly sent someone to ask for his opinion at that time, and he got his support and approval.

On the other hand, Lin Si himself had to admit that Luo Hou was indeed a very capable person.

Not only because of his record in Gao Zhen back then, but also because of the speed at which he dissolved into the Northwest Theater. He knew that the current Northwest Theater had gradually accepted this outsider.

I am afraid that none of the other generals under my command can do this.

While attacking Purple Star, he also started a war against Tianhe, which was not a good choice in the first place. Although Tianhe is a small country, it is not easy to fight, and it is not beneficial for the Moon Kingdom to start a war on both sides at the same time.

If the progress does not go well, it will make Yue Luoning difficult both internally and externally, and both sides will be stuck in the quagmire of war and unable to extricate themselves.

However, if the person who commanded the battle of Tianhe was Luo Hou, Lin Si would be much more relieved.

That's it, Tianhe is going to fight after all. Yue Luoning is right, this small country that is completely surrounded by the Moon Country is a hidden danger for the Moon Country itself.

The Tianhe people have repeatedly attacked Purple Star, and there is no guarantee that they will take the opportunity to make trouble again, let alone when the Xuanluo Continent invades in the future.

Accepting them early can be regarded as a solution to a disaster.

After bidding farewell to Tang Xiaozhi and the others, he soon came to the border camp at the junction of the northern part of Southern Qi and the Purple Star.

At this time, both sides are in full swing to prepare for the war, and his arrival is tantamount to announcing that this battle is truly inevitable.

The two warring sides in this battle were evenly matched, with the number of armies on both sides exceeding three million, and both sides were equally equal at the level of generals and masters.

The master advantage that the Moon Kingdom had previously occupied because of the master of the Sword Sect will be difficult to continue to have this time. If it weren't for the fact that both Qianlan and Gao Zhen had some Heaven Realm Breaking Masters returning to the Moon Kingdom, I am afraid that the Moon Kingdom would have fallen behind this time.

After all, because Zixing had received the full help of Shen Yan, there were already many sect masters who had joined.

In the eyes of the outside world, this will be a dragon battle between Lin Si and Mi Yuanyun. This battle will also completely clear up a long-standing controversy in the Cangluo Continent, that is, who is better in commanding operations between Lin Si and Mi Yuanyun.

However, in fact, the commander-in-chief of the Divine Flame Purple Star Alliance was not Mi Yuanyun.

This war was launched on the territory of Purple Star, the Purple Star Kingdom was not a puppet like Nanqi at the beginning, this was also a big country that was not much weaker than Gao Zhen Longyan, and this war was still dominated by the Purple Star people after all.

Shen Yuanlong, the general of the Purple Star Kingdom, is the commander of the Purple Star side, and even if he is thrown away, the commander of the Shenyan side will not be able to take Mi Yuanyun's turn, after all, when he fought Long Yan Gaozhen in the past, the commander of the Shenyan Empire has always been Wei Zhong.

And this time in the battle of support for Purple Star, Wei Zhong did not participate. He, the prime minister, was originally a civil minister, and it was not normal for him to spend most of his time fighting abroad over the years.

Although his existence did play a great role, if it weren't for his overall arrangement, planning the overall direction and coordination between the various theaters, I am afraid that the Shenyan Empire would not have been able to destroy the two great powers of Long Yan and Gao Zhen within seven years.

It's just that he is a Wenchen after all, and this cannot be changed. And the prime minister's job was not this in the first place. He was able to take the position of commander of the battle against Long Yan at the beginning, but it was only the result of the victory of the court battle.

And after laying down Gao Zhen, he has already achieved some high skills.

Gao Zhen and Long Yan are both big countries, after destroying them, Mi Yuanyun, a famous general of the Heavenly Book Strategy, is certainly famous, how can Wei Zhong, the prime minister, not have his prestige doubled?

If this continues, in the future, the places that the Shenyan Empire will fight will be counted as Wei Zhong's fight, and even when the places that are defeated are bigger than the Shenyan mainland, who will the Shenyan Empire still be?

He was originally the prime minister and the head of a hundred officials, and this situation was obviously not what Emperor Shenyan wanted to see.

In fact, Emperor Shenyan's level of trust and support for Wei Zhong was already extremely high. Over the years, the court's slander against this meritorious prime minister has been mentioned over and over again every year, but they have been pressed down by Emperor Shenyan.

However, it is still the same sentence, no matter how much meritorious service you make outside, it is often not as direct as saying some ear-whispering words from side to side.

The person who initially slandered Wei Zhong was directly beheaded by Emperor Shenyan, which shocked many people for a while. But after a long time, when similar remarks appeared again, Emperor Shenyan had only reprimanded a few words, and finally even shut up altogether.

People's hearts are the most unpredictable, what if Wei Zhong really stands on his own feet outside and really supports his own troops? Wei Zhong is still loyal now, but who knows if this is done on the surface? Emperor Shenyan can't base his confidence on trust in Wei Zhong.

Yueshan and Yueluoning are good at the way of trade-offs, and Emperor Shenyan is naturally good at it.

He himself actually knew that Wei Zhong's merits had been enough. The next credit must be handed over to others to set up, otherwise the hundred officials of the court will become Wei Zhong's monopoly, which is not conducive to his control of the court.

So, a month after Luo Hou was connected to the Moon Kingdom by Yue Luoning and Gao Zhen was completely destroyed, Wei Zhong had already been recalled to the capital of the Shenyan Kingdom.

Emperor Shenyan rewarded him heavily, but on the other hand, he also stripped him of his military power and separated him from the army. For the next period of time, he needs to deal with busy government affairs.

As soon as Wei Zhong went, the coach of the Gaozhen War Zone should have been Mi Yuanyun.

At this time, Mi Yuanyun was the first person in Shenyan when it came to the ranking of Tianshuce and the prestige of the people. And in terms of military position, he, a hussar general, can be regarded as the second largest man in the military.

However, Emperor Shenyan did not let Mi Yuanyun preside over the battle of Gao Zhen Zixing alone, he sent the general Shu Zhan.

The great general is the real first person in the military who is higher than the hussar general.

As the general of Shenyan, Shu Zhan had already made great achievements for the Shenyan Empire before the Longyan War, such as the confrontation with Bilan, such as the friction with Wuxia Xituo.

He is different from Wei Zhong, he is a real soldier. As the coach, he will obviously not be only responsible for overall planning and coordination like Wei Zhong, he will be responsible for specific strategies and tactics.

Therefore, this confrontation was actually between Lin Si, the general of the Moon Kingdom, and Shu Zhan, the general of Shenyan.

As for Mi Yuanyun, although he is extremely famous and capable, he is only Shu Zhan's 'subordinate' and the 'second person' on Shenyan's side in this war.

In fact, this is also a normal thing.

Ji Bingyun and Luohou Shen Qing of the Moon Kingdom, these people are also talented, but some of them are not even the 'number two people'.

Luo Hou couldn't participate in this battle at all, Shen Qing still had to cooperate with Xue Chen to command the East Route Army, while Ji Bingyun was sent to the West Route by Lin Si.

Ye Hong stayed in the north of Qianlan to guard against the Shenyan people, and as for the rest of the generals of the Yue Kingdom and the generals of the Qianlan Qingchuan Southern Qi and other countries, they were divided into the three-way army.

When another three months passed, the scale of the war was finally in full swing.

In general, this battle was attacked by the Moon Kingdom, defended by the Shenyan Purple Star Alliance, and the three-way army of the Moon Kingdom was roughly divided into three routes, eastern, central and western, from south to north, advancing towards the hinterland of the Purple Star.

But the actual war, of course, will not be so clear and simple. Between the three armies, of course, there will be countless synergies, large and small.

The offensive and defensive situation is not completely fixed, and some local battlefields may also have a situation where the Shenyan Purple Star Alliance takes the initiative to attack, while the Moon Kingdom side stubbornly defends the position of the city.

After all, this was a close battle, and the pre-battle preparations of the Divine Flame Purple Star Coalition were also very adequate. If the Moon Kingdom is accidentally defeated, it is likely that it will be counterattacked by the other party in the end, and it is difficult to say that it will lose Nanqi Qianlan in the end.

The biggest advantage of the Moon Country is probably the Shifang Building. Although the Purple Star side can also spy and sabotage the Moon Kingdom with the help of the sect masters, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the Shifanglou assassins are 'professional' in this regard.

The border of the Purple Star Kingdom stretched for more than 100,000 miles, and it was naturally impossible to crush a million troops in a row during a war. In fact, the reason why the war has to attack those cities that are extremely difficult to fight is also a matter of last resort.

It's not impossible to bypass the city and go directly into the opponent's country, but not occupying the city means that there is no supply and safe place to enter the country, and there is no stronghold to connect with the rear of the country.

In addition, the official roads suitable for the march of large armies and heavy vehicles often pass through the city.

Passing around the city and going straight into the enemy's hinterland, you may end up being cut off from the rear by the enemy, and eventually defeated due to lack of strongholds and supplies.

This kind of thing is often only done by the steppe cavalry, who often do it just to grab a vote and then quickly flee back to the grassland.

The battle between the Moon Kingdom and Purple Star this time is a battle to destroy the country, so naturally it won't be like that. Therefore, the first round of confrontation between the two sides was the Moon Kingdom's attack on the Purple Star Border City. And this kind of war is destined to become extremely tragic.
