034, bitter meat meter
In the days that followed, Su Ling practiced the "Five Qi Chaoyuan Breathing Method" every day, slowly growing and strengthening his own attributes, and at the same time, from time to time he would put down the prince's shelf, go deep into the "grassroots", mingle with the soldiers of the Vulcan Army, learn from each other, and learn from these soldiers Fighting experience.
At the same time, in the war in the Velvet Country, he relied on his ability of [self-omniscience] to frequently show amazing predictions, and then asked the strategists and soldiers in the military camp how to deal with them in the way of school examinations.
With his accurate prediction of the actions of the Fire Velvet Country, the strategists and soldiers in the Vulcan Camp naturally did not doubt him, and they showed themselves one after another, giving their own answers, never thinking that the "God of War" in their eyes would not lead troops to fight at all.
In this way, with the absolute information gap, coupled with the coping strategies "discussed" from the strategists and generals of the Vulcan Army, in the face of the attack of the Vulvet Country, the Vulcan Army can win almost every battle with the weakest casualties, and the future Barbarians of the Vulvet Country will be defeated and retreated.
And one after another good news has also been spread to the capital, and the people's hearts have been greatly encouraged!
The original situation of internal and external troubles has gradually become stable.
In the "Vulcan Army", Su Ling's reputation is also constantly accumulating deeper and deeper, and the name of "God of War" starts from the north and radiates to the whole territory of Dazhou, and its merits are also written by Chen Kuizong, the general of Zhenbei, and transmitted back to Beijing.
However, although a large number of rewards were shipped out and sent to the north for every good news in the capital, the soldiers in the Vulcan Army found that among these rewards, it could not be said that there were no rewards for Su Ling, but they were extremely unworthy of those brilliant achievements!
Every battle, with the right command, is saving the lives of countless soldiers.
In addition, Su Ling has never had the frame of a prince, and from time to time he will mingle with the old and rough soldiers and generals and learn martial arts.
With such a life-saving grace and proximity to the people, Su Ling has already won the recognition of most of the soldiers and generals in the "Vulcan Army", and with his continuous meritorious service without reward, the soldiers and generals gradually began to empathize with him and began to complain for him.
However, Su Ling never fanned the flames when the soldiers and generals complained about him, but comforted him with good words, saying that he was in the palace and did not lack these rewards.
Moreover, he also said that as a child of the royal family, it is natural for the country and the people, and then copied half a sentence of "The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world" to show his mind.
With such integrity, he suddenly convinced the soldiers and generals of the Vulcan Army again, and at the same time he couldn't help but admire Su Ling more in his heart, he also became more and more indignant at the unfairness of the reward in Beijing.
However, Su Ling has said everything about this, and they can't say anything more.
After that, under the command of Su Ling, the "Vulcan Army" continued to attack, defeating the barbarians of the Velvet Country one after another, and retreating all the way from the northern border of the Great Zhou to the territory of the Velvet Country.
At this point, the invasion crisis of the velvet country can be regarded as completely resolved.
It's just that the successive victories have made almost everyone in the "Vulcan Army", including Chen Kuizong, the general of Zhenbei, a little dazed, and after beating back the barbarians of the Velvet Country, they are not satisfied, and they actually want to take advantage of the victory to pursue, invade the Velvet in one fell swoop, and plunder the resources at the same time, by the way, the Velvet Country has repeatedly invaded the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
When he saw that everyone in the Vulcan Army was in high spirits, already imagining the joy of invading the Velvet Country in one fell swoop and plundering supplies, Su Ling knew that the turning point of his ambition to become the emperor had finally come!
Vulcan Army, inside the tent.
Chen Kuizong and his generals and strategists were drinking and discussing how to invade the Velvet Country.
Su Ling sat in the crowd, pretending to frown, listening to the deliberations of the crowd.
When asked by Chen Kuizong what he thought about the invasion of the Velvet Country, Su Ling replied hesitantly: "I don't think this matter should be rushed, and it needs to be considered in the long run." Although the velvet is a country, it is composed of tribes, and now although they are losing and retreating, the main reason is their internal discord, some tribes want to plunder resources in my Great Zhou, and some want to develop slowly within the country. ”
"Although they all came to invade my Da Zhou in the end, I think it must be the result of the minority obeying the majority. Many of the tribes who wanted to develop slowly within the territory of the country did not contribute to this war, which allowed our army to win successive victories. However, once our army invades the velvet and plunders the resources within its territory, it will inevitably provoke the ferocity of those non-war tribes, and at that time, it may be subject to a very strong counterattack. ”
Su Ling voiced her worries.
But after Chen Kuizong heard this, he smiled and said: "In the past three months, the velvet barbarians have been defeated one after another, losing troops and losing their morale, and they are already at the end of the road, so what can they do if they fight back violently?" Your Highness is too worried. ”
Su Ling frowned, then smiled and said, "I hope I'm worried too much." ”
He did not object again.
Subsequently, after Chen Kuizong and other soldiers finished discussing, they immediately mobilized troops and horses and began to invade the Velvet Country.
Because he took the initiative to attack and plunder, there was no need to talk about any strategy, so Su Ling, the "god of war", was left in the base camp.
Three days later, at noon.
Su Ling was in his own tent in the barracks, concentrating on practicing the breathing method.
Suddenly, a text message suddenly appeared in his mind.
[The Vulcan Army led by Chen Kuizong invaded the Velvet Country and burned and robbed the local area, which aroused the ferocity of the non-war tribes of the Velvet Country, and the uncivilized barbarians had a fierce evil in their hearts, and the Velvet Country began to unite and fight back violently, and the invading troops of the Vulcan Army led by Chen Kuizong were trapped in a bitter battle. In addition, in order to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, the Velvet Kingdom also organized a secret iron cavalry called "Hungry Wolf" to make a detour from Daling Mountain, and attacked Shourong City tonight to burn and slaughter, which will cut off the supply of food and grass for the Vulcan Army......]
The supply of grain and grass is a matter of self-awareness, and Su Ling's mind unsurprisingly appeared with the feedback of [self-omniscience].
Su Ling, who was originally fighting with the soldiers in the base camp of the Vulcan Army, suddenly stopped and said, "I suddenly want to go to Shourong City today, do any of you want to accompany me?" ”
Shourong City is the nearest city in the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty bordering the Velvet Country.
From the name "Shourong", it can be seen that the importance of this city, the Vulcan army can guard the northern border, all rely on this city to regularly supply grain and grass.
On weekdays, the Velvet City is heavily guarded, but now, because of the invasion of the Velvet Country, the military camp is not enough, so part of the troops guarding the Velvet City are transferred to the military camp.
The tribes of the velvet country originally had different voices within themselves, and some tribes were passive and slacking off their work, so they did not reflect the strength of the barbarians of the velvet country.
But now, led by Chen Kuizong, the Vulcan Army invaded and plundered, and the ferocity of these barbarians was suddenly stimulated!
The lower the cognition, the more evil people are.
These uncivilized and uneducated barbarians of the Velvet Country have invaded the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty all year round to plunder, and they don't feel anything, or even take it for granted.
But now, after their tribal homeland was plundered, they instantly hated the Great Zhou side to the extreme!
Daling Mountain is a big mountain across the two countries in the area bordering the Great Zhou and the Velvet Country! It is so high and steep that it is difficult for ordinary people to climb over it, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
But now, in order to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, the Velvet Country will not hesitate to climb over this mountain to attack the Velvet City, which shows the depth of its hatred!
Su Ling combined the temperament of the barbarians of the velvet country, and the situation between the two sides, roughly deduced the current result.
But he deliberately didn't say it, just to completely turn the Vulcan Army into his own army!
The previous behaviors just made the Vulcan Army close to him, respecting and admiring him, but there was still a layer of estrangement between the two sides.
There is only one reason for this, he is too high.
Prince of the Great Zhou!
A clever god of war!
No matter which identity it is, it is something that ordinary people can't touch.
Although he has repeatedly shown a pro-people posture and penetrated into the "grassroots" of the Vulcan Army, it is difficult to eliminate the class barrier between the two sides.
So, he needs to break this class barrier.
And living and dying together and sacrificing oneself for others is undoubtedly the most effective way!
Of course, he didn't really want to sacrifice himself for others, but just a bitter ploy.
"Your Highness wants to go to Shourong City for a walk? Okay, I'll go down with Your Highness! ”
When he heard that Su Ling suddenly wanted to go around Shourong City, even if there were soldiers who raised their hands, they were either in agreement or in the middle of the knot, expressing their willingness to accompany Su Ling.
Su Ling didn't care what the purpose of these people was, he immediately selected some of the most powerful soldiers who usually fought together and went to Shourong City together.
And after they went to Shourong City.
That night, outside Shourong City, wildfires broke out everywhere, and the shouts of killing continued.
……
Two days later.
Chen Kuizong, who was finally freed from the siege of the tribes of the velvet country, returned to the camp with heavy casualties and the exhausted team of the whole army.
He had already deeply regretted not listening to Su Ling's words, and after returning to the camp, he immediately got the news that Shourong City had been attacked.
"What?!"
In the camp, Chen Kuizong, who had just taken off his armor, looked at the soldiers in front of him in shock, with a look of disbelief: "The day before yesterday, Shourong City was attacked, and His Royal Highness the Thirteenth just took a team that day, desperately defended the city, and protected part of our army's grain and grass, and now I don't know if I live or die?!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldier who reported the news responded.
Chen Kuizong, who had been confirmed, suddenly felt infinite remorse in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Where is Your Highness now?" Take me there! ”
