At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

“For us, this is not a bad thing.”

After being silent for dozens of breaths, Zhao Gongming suddenly spoke again.

"In the past when we fought against the barbarian troops, the barbarian troops often fled after they could not defeat them. Once they fled to the depths of Mobei, our army would generally give up the pursuit due to lack of food and grass."

"Now that the barbarian troops are risking everything, it is just in our favor to wipe them out in one fell swoop, thus avoiding a long-term disaster."

Zhao Gongming continued his analysis.

"Master Zhao is right. If the information in this intelligence is correct, then the 380,000 barbarian troops in the northeast are the last of the barbarians!"

Xiao Yan nodded, confirming what Zhao Gongming said.

"That's right. No matter what the Dune Kingdom plans to do, the first thing we need to do right now is to deal with the 380,000 barbarian troops in the northeast!"

Xia Yun also affirmed Zhao Gongming's words.

As the imperial court's Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition, his first priority was to annihilate all the barbarian troops.

Then Xia Yun stood up from his chair and walked to the map in the center of the lobby.

"According to the various intelligence reports, the 380,000 barbarian troops are now almost all gathered in the territory of Daliang Dynasty, north of Changchun City."

"According to my idea, my 610,000-man army should take the initiative to attack at dawn tomorrow, divided into three groups."

"The first route is for Lord Zhao Gongming to lead all our cavalry and implement a roundabout tactic along the left wing to go around to the rear of the enemy."

"The second route will be led by the prince with 200,000 elite soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the enemy from the front battlefield, forcing the enemy to retreat to the rear or to the right."

"Third route, I will lead all the remaining troops. When we launch a fierce attack on the front battlefield, we will detour along the right wing and implement an all-round encirclement strategy on the enemy!"

"In this way, we will be able to annihilate these 380,000 barbarian troops on this northeastern battlefield in the shortest possible time!"

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Xia Yun stated his strategic ideas without hesitation.

On the way to Changchun City, he had already received various front-line battle reports provided by Zhao Gongming.

"I agree with the Grand Marshal's plan."

At this moment, Zhao Gongming was the first to stand up and express his support for Xia Yun's plan.

"This king also agrees with the Grand Marshal's plan."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan also spoke, with a look of approval on his face.

Although Xia Yun had just arrived in Changchun, he immediately started to worry about the war as soon as he arrived. His serious and responsible character made him very satisfied.

With Zhao Gongming and Xiao Yan, the two people second only to Xia Yun speaking up, naturally, all the civil and military officials in the hall expressed their support for Xia Yun.

"Great Marshal, what a great strategy! Officials at all levels in Northeast China will definitely follow it with all their strength!"

"When will the battle begin? Please give the order, Marshal!"

"I am willing to be the vanguard! I will not retreat even if I die!"

"..."

All of a sudden, a positive response quickly rang out in the originally silent lobby.

It was not until a few minutes had passed that the lobby returned to silence.

"Xia Yun, your plan is good, but are you sure you want to march tomorrow morning?"

After everyone calmed down, Zhao Gongming suddenly raised a question.

In his opinion, the 380,000 troops under Xia Yun's command had just experienced a long journey.

Now, before we have time to have a good rest, we have to engage in another brutal battle.

There is no doubt that this will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhao. During Xia's march, all the soldiers have already rested for a long time. There is no need to rest any more."

Xia Yun heard the worry in Zhao Gongming's words, and immediately waved his hand and responded with a very confident look.

It took Xia Yun's 380,000 troops more than a month to march from Gansu to Changchun.

You know, according to the normal marching speed, it would take the army less than a month.

What's more, Xia Yun was equipped with hundreds of chariots.

The reason was nothing else but that during the march, Xia Yun had been letting the army adopt the strategy of conserving its strength.

In fact, if Zhao Gongming knew the inside story at this moment, he would be even more surprised.

This was because during the march, Xia Yun's strategy was to let the men rest while the vehicles continued to move!

Hundreds of new tanks have been transporting soldiers day and night.

Even though the army of 380,000 is large in number, at least 300,000 of them have not traveled very far at all!

"Good! Speed ​​is of the essence in war, so we should dispatch the troops at dawn tomorrow. This way, we can catch the barbarian army off guard!"

Xiao Yan slammed the table hard, and an excited look gradually appeared on his face.

At this time, the barbarians already knew that Xia Yun led an army of 380,000 to Changchun City.

If we wait a few days before sending out troops, the barbarian troops will definitely have prepared a response strategy.

But if the army sets out at dawn tomorrow, it will surely catch the barbarians off guard!

"In that case, Grand Marshal, everything will be decided by you."

Zhao Gongming nodded happily.

From this moment on, he officially handed over the command of the entire Northeast battlefield to Xia Yun.

Of course, this is not his first time serving under Xia Yun.

During the war against Japanese invaders, Xia Yun once served as the supreme commander of the entire army on the battlefield.

Therefore, this did not cause any psychological burden for Zhao Gongming.

"Pass on my order. From now on, the entire army will immediately enter a state of combat readiness!"

Xia Yun slowly walked to the front of the crowd.

"Qin Tianye!"

"The general is here!"

"Immediately select all the cavalry from the 380,000-man army and place them under the unified command of Lord Zhao Gongming."

"I will obey your orders!"

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yun did not hesitate and immediately exercised the power of the Grand Marshal.

"Worship the Black Fox."

"The general is here!"

"You are to immediately select 100,000 elite soldiers from the army and place them under the unified command of the Ninth Prince."

"I will obey your orders!"

In front of everyone, Xia Yun first issued two troop deployment orders.

Afterwards, Xia Yun's gaze swept across all the civil and military officials in the hall, and an extremely sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"This war is a crucial battle between our Daliang Dynasty and the northern barbarians! After this victory, from now on, there will be no more wars in the northern border of our Daliang Dynasty!"

"If we lose this battle, I will cut off my own head to apologize to the millions of people. From me down, all civil and military officials at all levels will also be beheaded! No mercy!"

Under the gaze of a group of officials, Xia Yun delivered his final speech before the war.

When everyone present heard this, they were excited and felt a deep sense of awe towards Xia Yun.
