Leaving Chang'an, the army marched across the wilderness in a mighty manner.
Zhang Yi picked up the telescope and looked ahead. What came into view was the vast mountains, which belong to the Qinling region. Very good, Zhang Yi showed a smile on his lips. The enemy was still trekking through the ravine-ridden mountains, and the warriors of Mopan City were more suitable.
Mountain combat.
Even Xiaoliu realized this and said with a smile: "Brother Yi, when we people from Mopan City arrive in the mountains, don't we feel like a fish in water?"
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Yes, Xiaoliu, our warrior climbs mountains and wades like walking on flat ground."
"That's right, sister-in-law," Shi Gandang said, "Our warriors come from various villages. To put it bluntly, they are all bandits who grew up in the mountains. They are not afraid of any steep mountain."
Everyone laughed, and the little fat man had the nerve to say that he was actually the leader of Shigu Village. Seriously, among the brothers, he was the only one who had ever been a bandit.
Xiao Liu picked up the long whip and lightly slapped Shi Gandang on the back. She thought this little fat guy was the most fun, he was thick and meaty, and he always looked happy.
"Little fat man, you are not allowed to say the word bandit from now on. If you are bandits, what is your sworn brother?" Xiao Liu pointed out this point with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid of being whipped hard. The little fat guy has thick skin and won't feel the pain." Niu Ben laughed.
Xiaolong, Xiao Han and Wang Zheng all laughed. It's time to fight. If the sworn brother is the bandit leader, wouldn't the sister-in-law be the wife of Yazhai? So the sister-in-law must emphasize this point and not talk nonsense.
The sworn brother is now the prince-in-law, the chief minister of old China, who combines military and political power. In the future, the sworn brother will still be the monarch of a country!
They were all a group of young people, talking and laughing one after another. Even King Liu Kai, who was sitting in the carriage, laughed heartily.
Zhang Yi also laughed happily. He had not laughed like this for a long time.
He is not afraid of fighting or any enemy now. He just hopes that his father's physical condition can be maintained so that he will feel more at ease in his heart.
He saw the curtain on the carriage opened and his father waving to him.
Zhang Yi hurriedly jumped off the horse and got into the carriage. His father began to discuss the war with him, and also told him about his experience in marching and fighting.
Xiaoliu knew that the father and son were talking about military affairs, so she didn't listen and continued to joke with her brothers. She had a lively personality and was loved by everyone. The brothers happily surrounded her, one sister-in-law at a time, just like the stars surrounding the moon.
…
Zhang Yi has mastered sufficient information and reported it to his father.
Little China's 80,000 troops, led by Marshal Yang Ting, crossed the border from Zhuxi, Hubei Province, first captured Ankang City, and then turned northwest to attack Shangluo City.
The two cities of Ankang and Shangluo each had 2,000 troops stationed in them. Facing the fierce enemy forces and the chaos created by Wu Rui's gang, the cities quickly fell into the hands of the enemy.
It is a pity that these two cities were originally the two major barriers to the south of Chang'an. If there had been no civil strife, Zhang Yi could have quickly provided support and organized a powerful counterattack.
"It's so infuriating that Little China dares to take advantage of the situation," Zhang Yi frowned and said angrily, "Coach Yang Ting personally went into battle. I'm worried about what agreement was reached between Little China and Big China. Father, you said they
Will they join forces to attack us?"
"It is possible, Yi'er," King Liu Kai nodded slightly, "You must not be dominated by anger, as that will make you lose your judgment. Any situation may happen between the three countries, whether war or peace, based on their respective interests."
"Yes, my father taught me the right lesson." Zhang Yi nodded repeatedly. In front of his father, the best mentor, he could feel his immature side.
"I know your ambitions, Yi'er, and I support you in realizing your ideals," King Liu Kai said earnestly, "but now that it is divided, your first goal is to unify China. In this case, you just have to focus on
Regarding the military, all plans such as industry, agriculture, and commerce are centered around the military."
This is an important point, because King Liu Kai saw that Zhang Yi wanted the people to live a prosperous life, but without a stable situation, there was no prosperity and stability.
General Zhang Yi wants to develop in an all-round way. As the war between the three countries becomes increasingly fierce, he must focus all his efforts on the military. With the military as the center, the economy as the support, and diplomacy as the auxiliary, a comprehensive war will be launched.
In fact, King Liu Kai's idea is consistent with Zhang Yi's total war. The two people's thoughts are on the same frequency. King Liu Kai only emphasized that he could not wait for the success of the Dragon Project before launching military operations, but implemented the project while
While launching military operations.
After repelling the invaders and stabilizing the domestic situation, you can even launch an active attack.
What's wrong with unifying the six kingdoms just like Qin Shihuang did?
Zhang Yi was deeply shocked. He never seriously thought about taking the initiative. He did not want to be an invader. Now think about it, if you really want to think about the Chinese people, you should unify China as soon as possible. With reunification as the goal, you can change from passive to active.
of.
He couldn't help but nod in agreement.
This conversation completely adjusted Zhang Yi's thinking.
He is a commander who uses the world as his chessboard and victory as his goal. He must take the initiative strategically. He creates changes, not just responds to them; he guides the development of the current situation, not just adapts to it!
This was a kind of enlightenment that split the sky and split the sky. Coupled with a truth he realized before, armed struggle is inevitable!
At this point, Zhang Yi has the courage and structure of a great man!
"Thank you father for your advice, my son suddenly felt enlightened." Zhang Yi said loudly and from the bottom of his heart.
Father and son looked at each other and laughed.
Xiaoliu's clear and melodious laughter could be heard outside the carriage, as well as the clapping and laughter of his brothers.
Zhang Yi was so happy. This feeling of father and son being of one mind, husband and wife being of one mind, and brothers being of one mind is really great!
…
"Father, we are searching everywhere for Wu Rui and his son, but they seem to have disappeared. Where do you think they are hiding?" Zhang Yi asked.
"I think Wu Rui and his son fled to the north, and a big country emerged in the north called the Tsarist Empire," King Liu Kai said in surprise, "It turns out that our enemies in the north were nomadic tribes, but in recent years, the Tsarist Empire has taken control of
The nomadic tribes showed signs of moving south to annex China. Wu Rui once persuaded me to form an alliance with the Tsarist Empire and use their power to unify China, but I refused."
Not long ago, Zhang Yi also heard about this empire, but he didn't pay more attention to it. When his father said this, he was shocked and many bad thoughts immediately came to his mind.
Will Wu Rui collude with the Tsarist Empire and go south to attack our country?
King Liu Kai saw Zhang Yi's thoughts, nodded and sighed.
Judging from Wu Rui's character, if his conspiracy fails and he cannot gain a foothold in China, he will inevitably seek refuge with foreign enemies, and he will not hesitate to betray China as his own thief.
"We must repel Little China as soon as possible, then lead our troops north to prepare for war with the Tsarist Empire." King Liu Kai said.
