The weather is very good today, the sun is high above our heads, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and the scorching wind is blowing against our faces.
Cheng Dalei was walking alone on the long street of Toad City, with no one accompanying him. With his current status, he always had a sedan when he came in and out, and it was natural for him to have more than a dozen personal guards around him.
Until now, Cheng Dalei has not developed such a problem. It's not that Cheng Dalei doesn't like these things, but he doesn't know that this is possible.
He has 30,000 elite soldiers, countless counselors, and tiger generals like Guan Yu and Qin Man who are loyal to him. Cheng Dalei gives an order, and countless people are willing to die for him. Although they only occupy Shuofang and Toad City now,
Two cities, but if you take the next step, it is not impossible to take Liangzhou. If you take the next step, it is not impossible to be so greedy that you want to take over the world.
It’s no longer what it used to be.
When he walked on the long street, everyone gave way to him. The eyes of those looking from afar showed not only respect but also fear.
Nowadays, he has countless treasures in his house. They are all rare treasures in the world. If he wants them, there are countless women who are willing to throw themselves into their arms. And with a wave of his hand, he can make countless women fall off their heads.
Of course, Cheng Dalei is not a greedy person, and he also lacks ambition. However, if he didn't want it in the past, he didn't have the ability to ask for it. Now when it is possible to ask for it, a few people are willing to say no.
Just like when Lin Shaoyu broke through Chang'an City, he had no ambition to conquer the world, and was still thinking about giving up the throne to Cheng Dalei. However, when he actually took the throne of the throne, would he still be willing to give up?
Cheng Dalei walked along, not in a hurry, but just thinking wildly in his head.
If one day, he can really ascend the throne, people like Liu Bei and Guan Yu must be entrusted with important responsibilities. After all, they have worked hard for it, and their relatives and children cannot be treated badly. Cheng Dalei
If they have this kind of mentality, they have no right to demand that Liu Bei and Guan Yu don't have this kind of mentality. When the time comes, generations after generations will be nothing more than a repeat of the empire.
Thinking of this, Cheng Dalei suddenly felt frightened. He only felt that he was so small in the vast world. In that high position, did it really make a difference whether the person surnamed Li or Cheng was sitting?
Heaven and earth look on with cold eyes, watching the world fight for it, and occasionally sneer.
When he came back to his senses, Cheng Dalei came to the military policy office. Liu Bei, Xu Shenji, and Wu Yong were all present, and they were convening a meeting with their counselors.
Seeing Cheng Dalei coming in, everyone stood up one after another. Cheng Dalei waved his hand and asked them all to sit down.
"What's the noise about?" Cheng Dalei sat down and put his feet on the table.
Wu Yongdao: "We argued all day yesterday, and now we are still arguing. The key is for the boss to come up with an idea."
What everyone was discussing together was still tactical issues. The real strategic issue still had to be decided by Cheng Dalei, and it could only be decided by Cheng Dalei. Only after Cheng Dalei came up with his strategy could they discuss specific operations.
The map was spread out in the middle of the table, and Cheng Dalei looked at the five cities in Liangzhou and the mountains and water sources above.
The situation is actually unfavorable for our side. No one has many troops, and no one has enough food and grass. Moreover, the Xizi team has just received information that Song Bokang has requested assistance from Jingzhou. The assistance must be food, grass, weapons, horses, or directly elite soldiers and generals.
Once support from Jingzhou arrives, the originally unfavorable situation will become even more difficult.
The only thing Cheng Dalei can say now is the quality of the soldiers. If it is a field battle, Toad City's 30,000 elite soldiers can defeat 100,000 enemies.
But this time the battle is obviously a siege or defensive battle, so the comparison is not about the quality of the soldiers, but about food and grass.
Shuofang City has some momentum, but has not yet established a firm foothold. Although Toad City has some food and grass, if the opponent does not attack, it will be enough to exhaust Cheng Dalei.
Now the military policy office is discussing over and over again, either to strengthen the wall and clear the country, or to take the initiative, which cannot be said to be a wrong strategy, but at the same time, it may not be a winning strategy.
Cheng Dalei tapped his fingers on the table and remained silent. In fact, he had a general idea in his mind, but he did not say it directly.
"Master, master..." Xu Shenji called several times: "What are you waiting for?"
Cheng Dalei nodded, raised his hand and landed on the map, passing through several important camps in Wuwei, Haojia, Jincheng and Song Bokang, and finally landed on one place.
"How about we just hit here."
Everyone was shocked, and the room became quiet, because the place where Cheng Dalei's finger landed was Liangzhou City.
Liangzhou City is the main city of Liangzhou. It has the strongest soldiers, the most supplies, and the thickest walls. As such, it is also the most difficult to fight.
There is no shortage of bold people in Toad City, but yesterday Cheng Dalei was talking about being more conservative, more conservative, but after a good sleep, he suddenly seemed like a different person today.
What even Cheng Dalei didn't feel was that he was already undergoing subtle changes. After he tasted the sweetness of power, how could he not be tempted and would always become more and more greedy?
"There must be a battle between us and Song Bokang. Liangzhou cannot accommodate the two of us. This battle must be a battle of life and death. Since it is a battle of life and death, then go straight to the final decisive battle. The two armies will face each other. The victory will be determined with one sword.
."
Even a bold and cruel person like Wu Yong was restrained by Cheng Dalei. At the beginning of the chess game, Cheng Dalei pushed aside his horsemen and artillery and directly confronted the opponent's general.
"It's not impossible to do this, but we won't sit idly by when we attack Liangzhou City, Wuwei, Jincheng, and Haojia City...but it shouldn't be impossible." Wu Yong's ambition was also ignited.
Cheng Dalei nodded, put his feet down from the table, stood up and said, "This is the strategy. Let's discuss it and come up with an idea as soon as possible."
"Yes." The counselor from the Military Policy Office readily agreed.
Fortunately, Cheng Dalei started out as a bandit, and with this corporate culture, the people under him are not afraid of causing trouble, as long as nothing happens.
If Cheng Dalei dares to have such courage, they will have the courage to plan, and there is no need to rush their execution.
Cheng Dalei left the Military Policy Mansion. Before leaving, he asked Liu Bei to inform Zhao Zilong to bring Su Ying and Fan Lihua back.
This is the calm before the storm, and Cheng Dalei feels at ease. Although Toad City is peaceful today, Cheng Dalei has no way of predicting what the outcome will be when the real war comes.
If he wins, he will be the lord of Liangzhou, and he will occupy a place among the thirteen states of the empire. If he loses, if he is lucky, he will lead a few people around him to start over again. If he is unlucky, he has a high probability of surviving. After all, he has peerless skills.
There is no problem in escaping. But people like Xu Shenji and Su Ying may not be able to survive.
Cheng Dalei patted his forehead: It turns out that I really can't afford to lose.
