The Zhou Dynasty was both civil and military, knew the book of soldiers, knew the method of warfare, and was also a master of spiritual martial arts who broke through the Lingkong Realm.

In Jun Shengtian's eyes, the Zhou Dynasty was a first-class general, a medium-class handsome talent, and an inferior strategist.

Let him lead an army to fight and charge, he is absolutely competent, but he lacks strategic vision and overall vision, which is not possible because of the limitations caused by the environment in which he was born in a reckless background.

The current battlefield of the national war is no longer a local battlefield, but a large interlocking battlefield composed of many local battlefields, and the direction of any local battlefield will affect the entire war situation. This requires the commander in the army to have a very strategic vision, a great ability to strategize, and grasp the overall battle situation, and this is exactly what Zhou Chaoxian lacks.

This is Jun Shengtian's positioning of Zhou Chaoxian, facts have proved that Jun Shengtian's positioning is not wrong at all, the Ningnan reinforcements commanded by Zhou Chaoxian have won successive battles on the local battlefield, playing triumphant songs, and in the overall national war battlefield, the Ningnan army is being defeated one after another.

Zhou Chaoxian led the army to support the front line, and his march route had two routes, the first was to enter Duji and reinforce Xin Jiyao.

At this time, Xin Jiyao's first department was struggling to support the western battlefield of Duji, if Zhou Chaoxian could lead the reinforcements to attack from behind the wind army, he would immediately be able to solve the urgent need of Xin Jiyao's first department.

The second route of march was the city-state of Volo. With the loss of Hump Mountain, Ye Nantian has become a lone army in the city-state of Volo, and the situation and pressure he faces are not much more optimistic than Xin Jiyao's.

If the Zhou Dynasty can lead the army to help, it can solve the crisis of Ye Nantian.

There are two routes to march, in fact, this is not difficult to choose.

Duki is the main battlefield of the national war between the two countries, and the Ningnan army here has nearly a million people, and the survival is of great importance. And the battlefield of the city-state of Volo is only a secondary battlefield, and the Ningnan army only has two legions here, less than 200,000 people.

Which is more important, obviously. However, Zhou Chaoxian unexpectedly chose the second route of march. The reason why he chose to march to the city-state of Volo is actually very simple, he has a very good personal relationship with Ye Nantian.

The Zhou Dynasty was the first to be on the road to the official career, and there has always been the shadow of Ye Nantian's support, and when he rescued the city-state of Woluo, he and Ye Nantian led the army to rescue him.

Now that Ye Nantian is in trouble, out of the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, Zhou Chaoxian didn't think much about it at all, so he decided to send troops to the city-state of Woluo first to relieve Ye Nantian of being trapped.

It can be said that Zhou Chaoxian's first move was wrong, and everything he did next was on the basis of this wrong move, adding mistakes to mistakes.

Dooki.

After Shangguan Xiu's sneak attack on Jieya, he did not return to the main battlefield in the west, but went all the way east to join Hu Chong's Third Army.

Hu Chong's Third Army successfully ambushed the attacking Ningnan Army at Muri Mountain, causing the Ningnan Army left behind in the east of Duji to be greatly damaged, and the Third Army led by Hu Chong was also much bolder, daring to go deep into Duji's hinterland and sneak attack various military important places of the Ningnan Army.

The logistics of the Ningnan Army on the Western Front could not be replenished, and the attack on Jieya was one reason, and the other reason was precisely the Third Army.

In the Utar region of Duki, Shangguan Xiu's first section smoothly converged with Hu Chong's first section.

Utar is located to the east of Duki, close to the capital city of Haj, and at present, the target of the Third Army's next attack is Haj.

The situation of the Ningnan army in Duji is already very unoptimistic, and if Haji is lost again at this time, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the morale of the Ningnan army.

Haji is in the central hinterland of the Ningnan Army's sphere of influence, and Hu Chong wants to fight Haji, this strategic intention is too bold, but at present, the war situation on the Western Front is getting tighter and tighter, and the overall strength of the Ningnan Army is moving westward, and it is also a fact that the hinterland is empty, and it is not impossible to forcibly capture Haji.

The 3rd Legion, the tent in the camp.

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and said, "I remember, there are still three legions left in the eastern part of Duji in the Ningnan Army. "If we attack Haji, these three legions will definitely send reinforcements.

Hu Chong smiled leisurely and said: "The three legions left in the east by the Ningnan people have already collapsed a legion when they divide their troops to fight, and then the sneak attack on Muri Mountain failed, and the ambush of our army against China collapsed another legion, and the total strength of the three legions together is less than 200,000, and they are cowering in the camp, and they dare not take a step, so there is no need to worry. ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "In this way, now is a good time to storm Haji. ”

Hu Chong said: "That's true!"

Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at Jun Qiming and asked, "Lord Jun." ”

"Weichen is here!" Jun Qiming has now become a close minister by Shangguan Xiu's side, and if there is something he doesn't understand about Ningnan Army, Shangguan Xiu will ask Jun Qiming as soon as possible. The latter also felt that he had been reused by Shangguan Xiu, and he had no sense of shame as a betrayer, and stayed by Shangguan Xiu's side with peace of mind to give advice, as long as Shangguan Xiu asked him, he knew everything and said nothing.

"What is the strength of the Haji garrison?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the current guard of Haji is a Righteous Army Legion, plus two corps of the Ningnan Army, and the mixed forces are combined, about 150,000 people. Jun Qiming said.

"The army of 150,000 is holding on to the city, and if our army wants to break through the city defenses, I am afraid that it will not be easy. ”

Jun Qiming's eyes rolled, and he whispered: "Your Highness, the Duji royal family is under house arrest in Haji. ”

Hearing this, the eyes of Shangguan Xiu, Hu Chong and others also lit up.

Duki's royal family is still there, this is extremely important information, once you rescue the Duji royal family, then, the rebels loyal to the Ningnan people, ten ** will defect, which is equivalent to pulling out a Ningnan minions.

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Aren't all the royal families of Du Ji already dead?"

"There are quite a few dead, but there is still bloodline, among them the second prince Dalden Azaba, the fifth prince Sigran Azab, and several princesses of Douky. ”

Shangguan Xiu blinked, laughed loudly, and said, "I thought that the people of Ningnan had already killed Du Ji's royal family!"

Jun Qiming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Originally, the imperial court had plans in this regard, but in order to annex Duji in a long-term and stable manner, the imperial court finally decided to set up a puppet king in Duji first, and use this puppet king first to spend one or twenty years to assimilate Duji little by little, as long as the culture is unified, then the unification of the territory and ethnic groups will become a matter of course." The two princes, Dalden and Siglan, were the objects that the court originally intended to support. ”

It's a pity that before Ningnan's hundred-year plan could be implemented, the Wind Country suddenly went to war against Ningnan, and Duki also became the main battlefield of the war between the two countries.

Shangguan Xiu nodded suddenly in understanding, Ningnan can be said to be experienced in the matter of annexing foreign races, and most of its territory was obtained in this way.

Jun Qiming continued: "Right now, the prestige and influence of the royal family in Duki are still there, as long as we can rescue the two of Darden and Sigelan, put one of them on the throne, ascend to the throne, and attach the Duji rebel army in Ningnan, it will naturally collapse, and our side will have an extra help that should not be underestimated." ”

Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, looked at Hu Chong, and asked, "Old Hu, what do you think?"

"It's a good plan, but it's not easy to rescue Darden and Siglan from Hajj. ”

For such an important two people as Ningnan, the guards must be strict, and it is difficult to find out where they are being held, otherwise they will be rescued by the Duji people themselves without having to rescue them.

Jun Qiming bowed to Shangguan Xiu and said: "Wechen only knows that Darden and Sigran are being detained in Haji, but as for the specific place where they are being held, Wechen doesn't know, and I ask Your Highness to know clearly!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and patted Jun Qiming's shoulder, signaling him to feel at ease. He said, "No matter where these Duki royal families are imprisoned, as long as we capture Haji, we will naturally be able to find them. ”

Hu Chong said quietly: "Haji's 150,000 defenders, the Duki people are the main force, if we can rescue the royal family in advance, our army will capture Haji, it will be easy." ”

Shangguan Xiu tapped his forehead lightly and was silent. Of course, he knew how much help he would have to help his side attack Haji if he could rescue the royal family in advance, the key was the huge Haji City, and it was not easy to find out the hidden royal family from it.

He pondered for a long time and asked, "Lord Jun, who is the current chief general of Haji?"

"Serbeyi. ”

"Dooki?"

"Yes, Your Highness. However, although Serbeyi is a Duki, he was born as a slave and does not have much affection for Duki, but he can be called loyal to Ningnan, and he is also one of the most effective generals around Xin Jiyao. ”

"How is he?"

"It's a cold-blooded beast, a dog-legged man with no one in his eyes. Jun Qiming obviously had a very bad impression of Serbei, and when he mentioned this person, his expression quickly cooled down, and said: "Serbie was a slave when he was young, and then he didn't know how to escape, and he threw himself into the Xuanling Palace and studied art for more than 30 years. I heard that when he was young, his body was covered with the mark of a slave, and he was ashamed to see people, and he wore heavy armor for many years, and Weichen never saw his real appearance. ”

Shangguan Xiu sighed, turned his eyes to Zhao Chen and Zhou Yan, and said, "Immediately send someone to infiltrate Haji and find a way to find out the whereabouts of the Duji royal family as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhao Chen and Zhou Yan said in unison.

Jun Qiming suddenly remembered something, and said, "Your Highness can start with Long Ying. ”

"Long Ying?"

"He is the general of the Western Group Army, Xin Jiyao's henchman, and the chief general of the two Ningnan Army Corps stationed in Haji, others may not know the whereabouts of the Duji royal family, but Long Ying will not know. Jun Qiming said in a firm tone.

Shangguan Xiu nodded to Zhao Chen and Zhou Yan, signaling that the two of them could act according to the information provided by Jun Qiming.

Zhao Chen and Zhou Yan took the order and left.

The dark flag of Shura Hall and the Tianyan of Duwei Mansion, although they are both doing things for Shangguan Xiu now, there is not much relationship between the two systems, and both the dark flag and the Tianyan have their own spy systems, and when they inquire about the news, no one interferes with anyone.

The spies sent by Zhao Chen were the Besa led by Karina and Clara, the Besa and the Duki were of the same race, and the Besa people disguised themselves as Duki, so it was relatively easy to get in and out of Haji and find out the news in the city.

Zhou Yan went into battle in person, and he took the spies of Tianyan to secretly infiltrate Haji City. At present, there are also a lot of Ningnan people in Haji City, and Zhou Yan disguised himself as a Ningnan person, which is not very noticeable.

The Third Army continued to march to Haji according to the original plan, and along the way, it encountered countless Ningnan Army and Duji Yi Army, and dozens of large and small battles were fought, but fortunately, the main force of the Ningnan Army had moved westward, and they encountered not many enemy troops, and there were a lot of battles, but it only slowed down the speed of the march, and there were not too many casualties themselves.

A month later, the 3rd Army marched to the western part of the Utar region, and further west, it could move out of the Utar region and approach the Haji territory. At this time, news suddenly came from the Duwei Mansion that Zhou Yan had been captured in Haji City.

The news of Zhou Yan's capture surprised Shangguan Xiu.

There are not many good impressions of Shangguan Xiu in the Duwei Mansion, but there are a lot of bad impressions, for the people in the Duwei Mansion, in addition to You Ling, the general commander, the person he values the most is Zhou Yan, and he also intends to cultivate him and give him a higher position.

Now that Zhou Yan has been captured and fallen into the hands of the people of Ningnan, the ** of the ten is more than lucky.
