Zhuo Hanqing almost exploded his lungs.

Undoubtedly, he was a proponent of the idea that the insurgency needs to be extinguished before the troops are sent out.Yan Haoling not only completely overturned his claim, but also did not give any explanation.Even if he is the emperor, he can't act recklessly like this.

No, it is precisely because he is the emperor that he cannot act willfully!

Any one of his orders is related to the life and death of countless people!

Of course, the side that is attacked will be filled with mourning and corpses; the Yuxi army who goes out to fight will inevitably have to pay a painful and bloody price.

Zhuo Hanqing is a veteran, and a veteran of the Yuxi Army, and Yan Haoling personally appointed him as the commander of the Yuxi Army.No matter what the idea of ​​this young emperor, who is always playing tricks and schemes, is, what is the reason for letting him take up this position, but for Zhuo Hanqing, since he is in his position, he must find his position—— Never allow your soldiers to die in vain!

Without thinking too much, Zhuo Hanqing went straight to Yan Haoling's residence.He was blocked by soldiers at the door, saying that the emperor had ordered no one to see him.Zhuo Hanqing ignored it, but as a result of rushing in, he didn't see half of the figure.

When I saw Yan Haoling again, it was the evening of the third day after that order.By this time, Zhuo Hanqing was almost in no mood to have an attack.It's just that the anger accumulated for too long made his face quite ugly.

"I am very pleased to see that you are all preparing for the expedition to the Hundred Maps. I am looking forward to your abilities." This was Yan Haoling's opening remarks.

Everyone knew that before getting a definite order, it was impossible for anyone to make any substantial progress in their actions.There is no child's play in the affairs of the country, especially war.The so-called preparations are nothing more than routine items such as stepping up food delivery and military training.

However, Yan Haoling did not mention anything related to this, as if the upcoming war was the product of many discussions.And the relevant personnel are also doing what they should do under strict planning-everything is done step by step.

Zhuo Hanqing took a big step forward, and the distance he pulled in had exceeded the rules that should be observed between monarchs and ministers.When he opened his mouth, the sound was like a bell. "Dare to ask the emperor, where should our army attack Baitu?!"

He didn't ask again whether he would really attack Baitu, no matter whether Yan Haoling's words he heard three days ago were just a whim or not, given his character, he would never change his decision.He doesn't care whether it's right or wrong. As a person who was born with the prophecy of annihilation, it was his goal to disrupt the world.

So what if it's wrong?Perhaps this was his original intention.

Zhuo Hanqing is a soldier, a soldier who doesn't know what tact is.Now that he has understood that war is inevitable, of course he will not stir up topics related to it.Considering in his capacity, what still needs to be discussed is the next action plan.Since Yan Haoling dared to admit his ambition of destroying Baitu, he should at least have a plan.

"Isn't the purpose of calling you here today to discuss this matter?" He didn't answer forcefully, on the contrary, he seemed a little lacking in interest. From his casual attitude, he couldn't see the importance of this matter at all.

Zhuo Hanqing hit a nail that was neither soft nor hard, but the other generals felt relieved instead.This is Xi Lan's king, and no one will ever see through what he is thinking.It's a pity that everyone was relieved too early, but in an instant, Yan Haoling's next sentence made everyone's hearts fall back to the bottom.

"I have decided to use Zhishuiguan as a breakthrough to attack Baitu."

Yan Haoling's voice was not loud, it could even be said to be a little gentle, but the three words "Zhishuiguan" were like thunderclaps in the ears of the generals.More than a dozen pairs of eyes immediately focused on the military map. The place names marked in ink on it, just from the map, it is completely impossible to see the difference between Zhishuiguan and other checkpoints, but at this moment it completely attracted the attention of the generals. The sight, the scorching gaze seemed to burn a hole through the cortical paper.

They were all wrong, how could they think that the emperor had returned to normal.How could there be any semblance of normalcy in coming up with such a crazy plan?

Your Majesty, think twice—this advice was repeated on the lips of all the generals, but no one dared to put it into words.The more careful generals have already discovered something is wrong. Yan Haoling still has the evil face that turns all living beings upside down, but that evil nature has reached the peak that has never appeared before.

Starting with Baitu, Xilan Emperor Yan Haoling finally embarked on the journey to destroy the world.

Is this what the prophecy was referring to?The mood of the generals has become extremely contradictory, fear and panic, of course; but in addition to this negative emotion, there is also an indescribable sense of excitement.

Zhuo Hanqing's face was already ashen, he would never allow Yu Xijun to become a plaything in Yan Haoling's hands.No matter how other people are bewitched by him, he still maintains the minimum sobriety.Attacking the water stop?Not to mention the current strength of the Yuxi army, even if the strength is doubled, there is no chance of winning.Perhaps, after that boy Yan Guichou's cavalry training is over, he will still have the strength to fight.

Now, it's impossible.

"Zhishuiguan is surrounded by natural gullies on the east, south and north sides, about ten feet deep, and there are countless holes under the gully. Shenggao is also ten feet high, and it is made of dolomitic rock, a specialty of Baitu. It is smooth and hard, and cannot be climbed. , heavy catapults can't hurt the wall at all."

Zhuo Hanqing's voice was not loud, nor was his tone high. Compared with his expression, he could be called calm.What he said is also well known, at least for these generals, the military facilities of neighboring countries must be understood, and Zhishuiguan is aimed at Xilan.

Contrary to the tradition, no moat was built. Instead, a ten-foot-deep trench was dug around Zhishuiguan, and the trench was full of sharpened wooden stakes and bamboo poles.The Yuxi army is good at water, no matter how wide the moat is built, the soldiers of the Yuxi army can pass through the water.The special design of Zhishuiguan is entirely to guard against Xi Lan, the biggest threat.

A simple description, without any embellishment or exaggeration, was coldly spat out from Zhuo Hanqing's mouth.Everyone's emotions aroused by Yan Haoling were cooled down in an instant.
