Therefore, it is said: know the other and know the self, a hundred battles will not be defeated, do not know the other and know the self, one wins and one loses, do not know the other, do not know oneself, every battle will be destroyed. Huangfu Le Sheng slowly read out the content of an article.

"Is this really Lord Zhou's handiwork?" Wu Yangping's face was shocked, with this art of war, it was already a school of its own, and it was really hard to believe that it was done by Zhou Yi, who was less than twenty years old.

"When there is no doubt, I have never heard of such a subtle art of war!" said Huangfu Lesheng as he picked up his teacup.

"Lord Zhou has such a great talent, the pacification envoys of the eight departments are really too low! Marshal, we should accept Lord Zhou into the customs as soon as possible, just in case!" Wu Yangping also had the same impulse as Peng Yue at this time, and he couldn't wait to rush out of the pass to find Zhou Yi.

"Yes, the marshal, the last general has already said, why don't I lead the troops out to find Lord Zhou!" Peng Yue began to shout when he heard that Wu Yangping rarely agreed with his opinion. As for the art of war, he is a brave general, not a wise general. Although he attached equal importance to such a subtle art of war, he himself did not have any expectations.

After taking a sip of tea, Huangfu Lesheng put down the teacup and looked at the two subordinates in front of him. Wu Yangping is too cautious and too detailed, and Peng Yue's personality is too impatient and too coarse, so he can only be a general, not a handsome. The only handsome talent under his command who can be in charge is Yan Junxia, but Zhou Yi is his own disciple, but he is a natural handsome talent.

I couldn't help but think like this in my heart, after reciting an art of war by Huangfu Lesheng, his worries about Zhou Yi were reduced a lot.

"Zhou Yi not only writes a military book, but also has a great strategy in his chest, so we don't need to worry about it here. The two of you will reorganize the soldiers of the Seventh Legion, and when Zhou Yi returns, the commander will recommend you to learn the art of war with him. ”

"Hehe......" Hearing Huangfu Lesheng's words, Peng Yue touched his head a little embarrassed. This Lord Zhou can create such a military art, naturally he is strategic, and he is really worried.

Wu Yangping also lowered his head and stopped talking, feeling a little ashamed in his heart, he seemed too utilitarian.

Prince Hicks fled back to the camp with Yoshio Bloodfury in a panic, and immediately closed the camp gates.

"Your Royal Highness, these half-elf mongrels only rely on despicable tactics and don't dare to fight a decisive battle with our army, it's really hateful!" General Simpson said with an angry mouth when he saw Prince Hicks' ugly face, in order to relieve His Highness's depression.

This method of warfare is not invincible, if the army is attacking the city, just place the army and the magic crystal cannon behind the army, and the threat can naturally be eliminated. Even when they were on the march, in fact, they had no chance to take advantage of the tight defense. The king really shouldn't have pursued him repeatedly, changed his initiative to passivity, and gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that he could invite such a great defeat! Sad! Sad!" Prince Hicks ignored Simpson's words, he knew in his heart what Simpson was thinking, but he was afraid that he would hold him accountable for the defeat and escape. Therefore, it seems to be comforting himself, not indirectly reminding himself that he is also defeated, so he doesn't want the eldest brother to talk about the second brother.

"Your Highness, the top priority at the moment, whether our army is advancing or retreating, please take a charter from Your Highness!" General Simpson saw that His Royal Highness no longer mentioned his defeat, and immediately changed the topic and talked about the next plan.

Prince Hicks paced back and forth in the big tent, his face stern, weighing the pros and cons of advance and retreat in his heart.

If you continue to attack Manchuan Pass, your own side that has lost all its mobile strength will be completely exposed to the half-elf soldiers, and you will hate the city if you are not careful;

The more Hicks thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and he felt like a snake beating a snake with a hemp stick.

"Your Highness, why don't you retreat to Nanyue City first! How about gathering the rest of the army and then trying to attack Manchuan Pass?" Simpson had lost confidence in continuing to attack Manchuan Pass.

"Well, if the Manchuan Pass is not broken at this time, the war in Japan will inevitably be prolonged for a long time, and once the war spreads to Baiyue County, how should the Empire's relocation plan be realized?

"Then let's work harder to capture Manchuan Pass, forgive me that the half-elves will not be able to gnaw at my hundreds of thousands of troops for a while!?" Simpson saw that His Royal Highness the Prince was unwilling to withdraw his troops, so he quickly changed his words and said hesitantly.

"Now that the cavalry is annihilated, and the 400,000 army has lost one-third, it is necessary to attack the city and defend against the attack of the half-elves, and the slightest carelessness will end up in the defeat of the whole army, how can it be so easy!" Hicks was even more angry when he heard it, this Simpson is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, if only Duke Isaia Darkleaf was here, at least he could put forward some constructive suggestions.

General Simpson is no longer talking, neither east nor west, what is going to happen to you!

Prince Hicks walked around a few more times, glanced at Simpson who was sitting there with a drooping face, and sighed inwardly and sat back on the throne.

"Withdraw the troops! Relying on these troops alone, it is absolutely impossible to capture Manchuan Pass, so let's withdraw to Nanyue City first!" Prince Hicks thought for a long time, but chose to withdraw his troops first.

"Yes, Your Highness is wise!" As soon as Simpson heard the Prince's order, his already depressed head suddenly became energetic, and he immediately stood up and obeyed the order.

"The heavy infantry guards the front and rear wings, and must not give the half-elves a chance to take advantage of it!" Prince Hicks thought for a moment, but still had one more word of advice to Simpson.

I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has landed or not, how should this king deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's criticism? Hicks finished giving the order and looked at Simpson who was excitedly going out to arrange the withdrawal of troops, and his heart was full of bitterness.

The direction of Manchuan Pass is in full swing, but the distant Wanghai City is a colorful flag, and hundreds of warships of the Royal Navy of the Kunya Elf Empire are gathered outside the harbor, divided into two columns, and the battleships are fluttering with the Royal Navy flag and colorful flags to show welcome.

A huge Sunny class battleship led the way, followed by more than two hundred warships and thousands of ships of various kinds, and this was the second batch of landing fleets.

As the landing fleet sailed past the middle of the welcome fleet, the elven sailors lined up on the deck of the welcome fleet in a neat row as a sign of respect. This Sun-class battleship belongs to the royal family, and His Royal Highness the Imperial Crown Prince is on it.

On the deck of the Sunny class battleship, an elf girl wearing a pure white gauze skirt stood there prettyly, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pair of big purple eyes on her pretty face, noble and beautiful, this is Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Elven Empire, Princess Feather Dance Amber Light.

"Your Highness, the harbor is ahead, and we have arrived at the Eastern Continent!" said Abbey Mercury, the Vice Admiral of the Imperial Navy, standing behind Yu Wu.

"Well, I see! When you get to the shore, let General Igna Yuechen come and see me. Feather Dance Amber Light said lightly on her lips, waving a handful hand at the officers of the welcoming fleet.

"As you wish, Your Highness!" Abbe Mercury beckoned a general to give the order.

The huge fleet slowly made its way to Guò Bay, and the welcoming fleet turned to support the sides of the Sun-class battleship until the huge battleship slowly approached the trestle. The follow-up fleet naturally had someone in charge of commanding the landing, and His Royal Highness Hamai took Abbe Mercury and others to the City Lord's Mansion accompanied by Igna Yuechen.

After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion to stay, Yu Wu just hurriedly washed up and cleaned up, and summoned Igna Yuechen and other left-behind generals in the meeting room.

A pair of twin maids sat down serving Yu Wu, and she glanced at everyone in the hall with a pleasant voice.

"General Igna, you have worked hard for the Empire!"

"Your Highness, this is a matter within the scope of your subordinates, and it is not hard work. Igna and the others hurriedly stroked their chests and bowed in thanks.

"Well, I don't know if Prince Hicks is still going well on the front line?" greeted them briefly, and Yu Wu asked what was most important to her heart.

"Back to His Royal Highness, Nanyue City was taken without a fight, and Baiyue County of the Qinling Empire was under the control of our army. His Royal Highness the Prince is leading a large army to attack Manchuan Pass and open up the road to the interior of the Qinling Mountains. Presumably, there will be good news in the near future, and His Highness can wait for good news in Wanghai City. Igna Yuechen bowed and said.

"Well, the situation in the empire is getting more and more serious, we must do our best to find a place for the people of the empire to live, and Yu Wu is here to thank you in advance!" His Royal Highness Yu Wu bowed his head and let Igna and the others hurriedly return the salute.

"I'll stay here for a day, and then I'll head to Nanyue City, which is closer to the front line and can get word about Prince Hicks sooner. Yu Wu said softly, and after speaking, she picked up the teacup in front of her.

"Then His Highness rested earlier, and the boat was tiring all the way, His Highness must be tired, and His Majesty and others retired!" Igna saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince toast to the guests, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

"Well, that's hard work, everyone!" Ha Mai put down the teacup and got up to signal the maid to see off the guests.

"Don't dare, Your Highness, please rest early!" Igna and the others bowed and exited the living room after speaking.

"Alas, this boat is really tired!" Seeing that these outsiders were gone, one of the twin maids immediately said in front of Yu Wu.

"Hehe, Xue Ling, if you hadn't been making trouble with me, you wouldn't have had to sit on the sea boat for such a long time!" Yu Wu smiled and reached out to scratch Xue Ling's little nose.

"Well, Your Royal Highness Princess, Xue Ling is just going to follow you! We are your maids, of course we have to follow you, aren't we? Sister!" Xue Ling looked at her sister who was standing aside and smiling.

"Hmph, don't bully Xueqin, I see that you little girl just want to go to the mainland to have a look, satisfy your curiosity, don't push everything on me!" Yu Wu glanced at Xueqin, who was holding back a smile, and her pretty hand reached out to Xue Ling's waist and scratched.

"Giggle...... , oops, Her Royal Highness the Princess... Sister Xiao Wu...... , Ling'er didn't dare!" Xue Ling couldn't escape directly, but she was really uncomfortable laughing when she tickled, so she had to beg for mercy.

"Your Highness, a heavy city like Nanyue City actually fell in one go, and these humans are not so powerful!" Xue Qin and Xue Ling are twins, Xue Ling can't stand the itch, Xue Qin is also a little uncomfortable, and always feels a faint itch in the waist, which is what their hearts have in common. She is familiar with Yu Mai's character, so she naturally diverts Yu Mai's attention.
