Chapter 1274: Confused

Yes, she already understands Lin Si's beating ~щ~~lā

The Thousand Song Dynasty of the Moon Kingdom and the Grassland were enemies, and the Grassland Country was originally the primary target of attack that many people speculated.

When the Moon Kingdom and the Thousand Song joined forces, and the million-strong army swept into the grassland, no one would suspect that they had other intentions.

They can even fight a few skirmishes in the steppe first to hide from the people.

One of the biggest problems with fighting on the steppe is that the terrain is single and there is no reference. The army of the Dry Blue Moon Kingdom that attacked the grassland in the past sometimes got lost.

But with Ji Bingyun, the nemesis of the grassland, all this is not a problem at all.

She will accurately bring the army to the Qianlan border in the north of the grassland, and at the same time, the Qianlan people will not notice it at all, because the grassland is different from other countries, there are no cities and villages, and there are few people, so the army will not make any noise at all, and it is difficult to plant any spies and ears.

An army of millions seems to be a lot, but after it is sprinkled into the grassland, it is like water dripping into the sea, and who knows where they will be when the time comes?

At that time, the army of the Moon Kingdom raided the southern border of Qianlan, and the Qianlan people would not have the slightest defense.

They would never have dreamed that the people of the Moon Kingdom, who were still fighting with the grassland people two days ago, would suddenly appear in front of them. Coupled with the help of Shifang Tower, the chance of a successful sneak attack can be described as great.

Once the Qianlan border falls and the border army is crushed, the army of the Yueguo Kingdom will be able to drive straight into it at that time.

With Lin Si's plan, the million-strong army didn't need to hide at all, and it was almost impossible to hide their tracks successfully. They can directly kill the past with great fanfare, and in the end, they can also play the role of a sneak attack.

If Lin Si hadn't mentioned this, she would only think it was a fool's dream. Even if Lin Si didn't say the intention behind it, she couldn't guess it for a while.

And there is another benefit to this move, and that is the steppe country itself.

The Moon Country is worried that when the Moon Country attacks Qianlan, the grassland people will take the opportunity to sneak up on the Moon Country itself. But according to Lin Si's plan, this worry can be completely put aside.

Historically, in the face of large armies far superior in strength and numbers, most of the tactics used by the steppe people have been to retreat first to avoid the enemy's edge. After introducing the enemy into the heart of the grassland, look for an opportunity to nibble away little by little.

In the face of an army of millions, as well as Lin Si and Ji Bingyun, it was naturally impossible for the grassland people to fight head-on. They will flee early, far, far away.

In fact, this is equivalent to expelling the steppe people first.

After thinking about all this, Yue Luoning was in a good mood.

For the external battle, she has been planning since Lin Si returned, although this preparation is still not sufficient, but she can't wait to start this battle tomorrow.

As for the specific strategy and tactics, it is natural to wait for Lin Si and Ji Bingyun and the rest of the generals to work out. She was very self-aware and didn't intend to get involved.

This is Lin Si and Ji Bingyun, one of these two is her own brother, and the other is her fifth sister, and they are both people who can be completely trusted.

If it were another general, it would not be so simple.

"Aside from Bingyun, who else are you going to let go with you this time?"

"Of course, Second Brother Ye and Xue Chen have to bring it, the Qianlan Country is too big, and the battle line will be very long at that time, and a general who can take charge of himself is needed. ”

"Xue Chen left, aren't you afraid that Qingchuan will take the opportunity to cross the Lanjiang River?" Yue Luoning said with some worry.

Now Xue Chen has returned to the northeast of the Moon Country, in order to prevent the Qingchuan people from making a move, and at the same time to prepare for the future conquest of Qingchuan.

"Ancient Yuda and Yuwencheng can stay, one rejects Qingchuan, and the other rejects grassland. ”

"But their soldiers ......"

"The Northwest Army will not participate in the plan to attack Qianlan, as for the east, the 500,000 defeated soldiers in the last campaign against Liangyue can be transferred 300,000 to fill the vacancy of the Northeast Army, and the other 200,000 will be stationed in Yincheng. ”

For the Moon Country itself, Lin Si will of course take precautions, and he will not relax in the slightest. And to attack Qianlan, of course, what you have to bring is the strongest combat corps in the Moon Country.

The Northern Army and the Northeast Army are the two corps with the most complete preservation and the highest combat effectiveness in the Moon Country.

However, this did not make Yue Luoning completely put her mind at ease.

"Will the troops you bring with you to Qianlan be too small?"

"Not a lot, 400,000 Northeast Army, 600,000 Northern Army, this is already the strongest force I have ever had. What's more, there are also Bingyun's 40,000 Song army. ”

Hearing him say this, Yue Luoning didn't continue to say anything.

An army of one million is an incomparably large number, and to be honest, a major war of this scale has never occurred in the history of the Moon Country.

The size of an army of three or four hundred thousand in a big war is already amazing. That's not all right if you gather 300,000 or 400,000 people, and there are often many times more people behind it, as well as unimaginable expenses.

And this is the top priority that she Yue Luoning needs to solve in the future.

But if you want to conquer a big country like Qianlan, in the eyes of many people, even a million army is still not enough. Just like attacking Gao Zhen's Shenyan Empire, there are now more than two million troops, but there is still not much progress.

When it comes to the size of the territory and national strength, Qianlan is not much weaker than Gao Zhen.

However, in such a thing as a war, Yue Luoning has absolute confidence in Lin Si and Ji Bingyun.

"Actually, if the dry blue is really laid, the two countries of Qingchuan and Tianhe may not be able to experience war. Lin Si touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"You mean, persuasion?" Yue Luoning frowned.

"Yes, in the battle of Qianlan, Shifanglou will be fully attacked. Once we win that battle, the Qingchuan Tianhe monarchs and ministers will only be in fear, and when the time comes, they will be promised some glory and wealth, and these two countries may surrender directly. ”

The more Lin Si thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, it was true that no one wanted to die in the country, and it was not unusual for him to resist to the death in order to defend the country. But if they really beat the Qianlan, which is far stronger than them, the Qingchuan people will not see their next fate.

After all, Qingchuan is in the hands of the royal family and aristocratic ministers, and if he knows that resistance will ruin the country and there is no hope, he will be stabbed to death in advance. And although it is difficult to preserve the existing power position by surrendering, it can still retain the glory and wealth, and even have the opportunity to continue to be an official in the Yue Kingdom, so it is impossible for the Qingchuan monarch and ministers not to think about it carefully.

Of course, even if it is a surrender, it is impossible to be as lenient as Lin Si's armistice agreement back then, this surrender is a real country, not just a collection of Qingchuan's army.

If Qingchuan Tianhe can directly surrender in the future, it will avoid the war of human suffering. Although there will still be sporadic spontaneous resistance, it will be much smaller.

Similar things have not happened unheard of in the history of the mainland, and most of them have occurred between some large and small countries with vastly different strengths.

It's just that whether this matter will succeed or not, Lin Si can't guarantee it, after all, what if Qingchuan Junchen would rather die than surrender? He can only wait for the future situation to be clear.

Yue Luoning thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "You're right, if you can really subdue Qingchuan Tianhe smoothly, it would indeed be great." If it can really be done, I will treat Qingchuan people and Tianhe people well, and those who are talented will continue to be reused. It's just that all this is still going to wait for you to defeat Qianlan. ”

"Hmm. ”

After the two ended this conversation, Lin Si, who left the study, went straight to the Yongqiu Palace.

From Tang Xiaozhi's mouth, he already knew the news of Hua Susu's return, and Lin Si, who was quite worried about her, of course hoped that she could forget her hatred and be happy from now on.

It's just that what he talked about with Yue Luoning just now was a big thing, and he didn't have a chance to ask, lest she complain that she only cared about her children's affection.

In his opinion, Zhou Zichuan should be dead, right? Otherwise, Yue Luoning would not be so calm.

Yue Luoning had already strictly ordered the idlers not to approach the Yongqiu Palace, and gave a gag order to more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids in this dormitory, and there were more than ten secret guards in the vicinity who had been watching.

However, Lin Si's arrival certainly didn't cause the slightest surprise, and no one even considered going to report to Yue Luoning. In the minds of many people, this Moon Country is still Lin Si's, this is his back garden, and he can come back at any time.

He soon came to the outside of the dormitory, and although he didn't deliberately gather his strength to eavesdrop on anything, the laughter like a silver bell still reached his ears.

Lin Si's mood unconsciously improved, because of that relaxed and cheerful familiar laughter, the last time he heard it was in the cave of the Qingyue Forest many years ago.

She never seemed to be happier since.

"Sister Su, I'm here......" He stepped straight into the courtyard gate, and what caught his eye was the garden outside the dormitory.

His words could not continue, because the scene in front of him made him feel extremely absurd, so absurd that he was almost at a loss.

Hua Susu did appear in his sight, and she was indeed laughing, laughing so much that she was getting carried away, but what she was doing made Lin Si's smile freeze instantly.

She was 'riding' in this garden, but if it was a horse, this rather secluded garden would have been trampled indecently.

She was riding a person, although that person had long since lost his original demeanor and temperament, and there was no longer the same look in his eyes, Lin Si still recognized him at a glance - Zhou Zichuan.

He didn't die, but Lin Si suddenly felt that he might not be as good as dying heroically after being humiliated like this, even if it was suicide......

Lying on the ground and being ridden by Hua Susu as a horse, he had an iron chain in his mouth, and the other end of the chain was held on Hua Susu's right hand, and in her left hand she was holding a branch that had been broken out of nowhere as a whip.

The clothes Zhou Zichuan was wearing turned out to be eunuchs', and the lower knee parts of the clothes had long been worn out.

Lin Si didn't know how long this strange thing between the two of them lasted, but he knew that Zhou Zichuan must not be voluntary, otherwise there would not be a little blood on the stone road, which flowed from his worn knee.

Regarding Lin Si's arrival, he just glanced up and lowered his eyes. There is no shame, no hatred, just ashes.

Seeing Zhou Zichuan fall into such a fate, Lin Si felt a strong discomfort in his heart.

Between him and Zhou Zichuan, of course, it is impossible to resolve the hatred, and there is no sympathy. It is impossible for him to sympathize with Zhou Zichuan, but he still inevitably feels that people like him should not be treated like this.

In any case, Zhou Zichuan is the enemy he has valued, and he is the one who has successfully calculated himself and made himself dare not be careless.

He didn't know why he had such a strange thought, it stands to reason that no matter how the enemy was treated, it would not be too much, right?

When Hua Susu smiled and chanted 'jump off the horse' and shouted 'Ah Si, you are here' with a look of surprise, he didn't know how to pick her up.
