"I, no, I finally understand the dire straits that the people of my Great Zhou are in. Just relying on the memorials submitted by officials in various cities, I have no idea of the specific situation."
"Most people wrote memorials very well, describing the cities under their jurisdiction as extremely prosperous, without mentioning the suffering masses at all."
"Only after you've truly experienced it will you not be kept in the dark."
Lu Yun nodded and explained, "That's right, but Your Majesty, we only have two days left before we reach Tianmen Pass again. You must be extremely careful and make sure nothing unexpected happens."
"Now, nearly 30% of Shu's land has been directly occupied by the Miao army led by King Nannan. Their speed is getting faster and faster, and they will soon reach Yangcheng, the city in Shu corresponding to our Tianmen Pass."
"I know."
"But what have you been tinkering with all this time? Why don't you just tell me about it? Are you hiding it from me?"
Lu Yun explained, "Your Majesty, you may not know that I have been having my craftsmen making a very powerful weapon along the way."
"Yeah?"
"Could it be a weapon even more powerful than that super crossbow? Then we'd be invincible on the battlefield."
Liang Jing said with some excitement.
Lu Yun shook his head. "No, I was mistaken. I'm not sure how powerful it is compared to a super crossbow, but it seems to be about the same."
"Perhaps, once this thing of mine is created, it will definitely be a killer and will definitely play a key role on the battlefield."
"Let's wait and see." Liang Jing didn't ask any more questions. He believed in Lu Yun in his heart! Xiao Yunzi, you are really amazing. How can one person be so smart and be able to make so many sophisticated weapons?
I heard that he not only modified the bows and crossbows, but also modified the swords, spears, and shields used by the soldiers.
Weapons are crucial in war.
Even if there are more people, they cannot win if they are not well-equipped.
At the same time, on the Shu Kingdom side.
King Chen Mu of Shu also received the news that the Great Zhou had sent troops and planned to launch a joint attack with them!
The King of Shu directly attacked their tail, and Lu Yun led the army to attack the head, thus forming a pincer attack.
Let them take care of themselves!
However, nearly 30% of Shu's land had been conquered, so when they harassed the enemy, they could only attack from the flank.
This is the only solution.
"good!"
"Very good!"
"The Great Zhou has sent out 50,000 troops this time, plus they have 20,000 soldiers and horses at the border city of Tianmen!"
"That adds up to a total of 70,000. We can definitely defeat the Miao Kingdom and take back the land that belongs to us."
However, Prime Minister Zhang He snorted coldly and explained to the King of Shu angrily, "Your Majesty, I think this is wrong!"
"Our army has a total of 200,000 soldiers, but they only sent 70,000. This is clearly a sign of contempt for us and a disrespect for us."
"Why are they only sending 70,000 troops, while we are sending 200,000? The Liao army is very powerful this time. Even if our two armies are combined, I am afraid we will not be able to defeat them."
"Yes, military tactics are indeed important, but on the battlefield, the number of troops is equally important."
"Your Majesty, think carefully about what the Great Zhou Emperor is planning. He simply wants us to send a large army and waste a lot of manpower and material resources so that they can take advantage of the situation."
Zhang He's analysis was not without reason, but the King of Shu did not think so. He looked at him coldly and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, I think what you said is a bit too much."
"It's good enough that the Emperor of Great Zhou is willing to help Shu. Furthermore, this is just judging others by one's own standards."
"You know, their 70,000 troops combined can also provide us with great assistance!"
"Besides, that eunuch surnamed Lu is only good at fighting. Plus, I heard that the weapons in the Great Zhou are very sophisticated, so there will definitely be no problem."
Zhang He sighed when he heard this. He also knew that he had to do this now. After all, the Shu Kingdom was in danger and 30% of its territory had been taken away!
The shameless Prince Nannan has really become an enemy spy!
"The Miao Kingdom is advancing aggressively. This time, we will attack from the flank and join forces with the Great Zhou. Which general is willing to lead the charge?"
"Forget it, since you guys are silent, I have no choice but to personally select a general. Then let General Zhou Chen lead the troops."
"I have to say, Prince Nan'an really went too far this time. He even wanted to personally lead the army to fight and give this traitor a good beating!"
"But I have my own difficulties."
"I can't let my personal feelings lead to the people and the government being neglected and me having to maintain this situation."
At this time, Zhou Chen, as a general, naturally did not shirk this responsibility. At the same time, he said righteously, "Your Majesty, if you don't take the head of King Nan'an, I will bring it to you!"
"Great! Since General Zhou has such courage, I am very happy. This is the confidence I want."
"OK!"
"Lead the troops and set off immediately!"
“…”
On this side of the Miao army.
High Priest Luo Feng smiled cunningly at the Prince of Nan'an under his command and said to him coldly:
"Now, the battle line to the northeast has also been extended. We only need to attack Yangcheng to enter the territory of Da Zhou!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Nan'an asked angrily, "Why don't we attack Shu first? Instead, we have to open up a second battlefield and attack the Great Zhou!"
"Do we really have to do this? We must at least take half of Shu's territory before we can attack the Great Zhou."
Hearing this, Luo Feng said with some disdain, "This is what the general wants. Why are you going to disobey?"
"Know your place clearly. Now that you have become a general under me, you must listen to me!"
"I do this for my own reasons."
King Nannan couldn't help but complain in his heart, what a bullshit logic, it was obviously stupid, it felt like they were attacking Shu just as a side effect, or for the sake of the Great Zhou!
What was he thinking? Did he really hate the Great Zhou so much?
"By the way, how far is Yangcheng from our current military camp?"
"We can reach it in one day. Yangcheng has a garrison of 20,000 soldiers! Their strength should not be underestimated. After all, it is a border crossing and is extremely important to both Shu and the Great Zhou."
"I'm not afraid! My Miao army is unstoppable. Who can fight against it?"
