Xie strongly disagrees with Ji Yanzhi's decision to conquer himself. A gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall, let alone the ruler of a country. It's just that the husband and wife for several years, the Xie family has thoroughly studied Ji Yanzhi's personality. The emperor's husband who knows her is a big idea. Once a decision is made, no one can persuade him. Xie had no choice but to press his worried heart, virtuously pack his clothes, and send away Ji Yan who had been conquered by the driver, and then devoted himself to taking care of Ji Qin and the little princess Yiyi who could run and jump.

Zhou's new monarch, the eldest prince, was also personally conquered by the imperial driver.

Speaking of which, the eldest prince is also the heir carefully cultivated by the predecessor Zhou Guojun. The mother is a noble concubine and the eldest son. Although unlike the Emperor Yong Guo, who only has a single seedling under his knees, she enjoys careful cultivation since childhood, but she still understands some of the emperor's heart skills.

There are pros and cons, and there are disadvantages, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In the name of revenge for his father, the new monarch of Zhou Guo blatantly attacked Yong State. Naturally, it will be more prestigious as the imperial driver.

It’s just that they’re young and vigorous, and don’t understand the disadvantages of laymen instructing insiders to fight.

Ji Yanzhi's ability to reject public opinion, and the imperial conquest, is what he has the ability to control the entire army. And Zhou Guo’s new monarch is not a low-profile man. He really doesn’t have the ability to control the overall situation like Ji Yanzhi did. Even if the battlefield is changing rapidly, he has truly achieved complete strategies.

It can be said that from the day when Ji Yanzhi chose the imperial conquest, even if the national strength of Yong Guo was compared with that of Zhou Guo and Xi Guo Elementary School, even if Zhou Guo provoked the battle and his division became famous, it was destined that Yong Guo would surely achieve great success. Win. After all, the strength is not enough, there are still tactics that can be used.

No, on the first day that Ji Yanzhi arrived at the border, Zhou Guo claimed that one million heroes would be pressed against him.

Ji Yanzhi: "..."

"There seems to be something wrong with the number of millions of heroes!" Ji Yanzhi took out a binoculars in front of the border guards and carefully observed the Da Zhou army who clamored to let the city gate open and surrendered outside the city, pretending to be Perplexed: "Looking at this posture, it's probably only about half a million!"

Border guards: "..."

Is this the point? Isn't the point that even if a million heroes are cut in half, there are only half a million, and it is not something that the country of Yong, which is full of half a million soldiers, can resist. The Yongguo borderline is long and narrow, with many mountains and valleys and rivers. In ancient times, this was considered a relatively natural barrier with fewer manpower deployments.

In open areas, such as grasslands and flat ground, city bunkers were built and heavily guarded. However, these places are too few, and there are about 200,000 defenders in Yongguo guarding the border areas. For the remaining 300,000, the imperial forest accounted for 100,000, and the defensive troops stationed in various inland areas provided 200,000.

This is due to the fact that the officials of the Yong state govern Qingming and the people are relatively rich. Otherwise, relying on the national strength of the Yong state to support an army of 500,000, it is really unpleasant.

Ji Yanzhi received the binoculars and threw it to the guard who looked at him eagerly.

"For such enthusiasm, I seem to want to pay back one or two." Ji Yanzhi said with a smile but a smile: "Send my order, close the city gate, and let Zhou's army use foul language to invite battle, and don't go out easily. "

A defender takes the order. Ji Yanzhi said to the guard who was constantly observing the enemy's situation with a binoculars: "Is there enough grain and grass?"

The defender clung his hands and replied loudly: "There is still about half a year of food in stock. Since your Majesty ordered the border to be deployed, the ministers and other defenders who guarded the border began to hoard food and grass. To prevent Zhou and Western countries from attacking my Dayong."

Ji Yanzhi nodded: "I see, let's close the city for half a month!"

The guards all clung their hands together and acted according to their words.

Zhou's new monarch was a fool, or he was too self-esteem. He felt that as long as the army of the Great Zhou suppressed the border, the soldiers of the border guards of the Yong Kingdom would inevitably flee without occupying them, so he only brought enough food and grass for the army of 500,000 for one month. Don't underestimate this number. Three large granaries have actually been built.

Moreover, according to the report from the spies sent by Dayong, the three large granaries were filled with grain and grass, but they were not guarded by heavy soldiers. If this is not the strategy of inviting the king into the urn, it is that Zhou is confident that Ji Yanzhi will not send a surprise attack on the granary.

Ji Yanzhi received a report from a spy, and on the spot...!

Zhou Guo thought of him so stupidly, and his accession to the throne relied on luck without competition. Ji Yanzhi didn't give back one or two, and he was too sorry for their misunderstanding. So three days after ordering the city gates to be tightly closed and defending the city, Ji Yanzhi called a guard and asked him to lead a thousand soldiers to attack and burn three large granaries built by Zhou Guoying.

The guard was a local man who was familiar with the terrain. He took the emperor’s order and hurriedly ordered a thousand men and horses. Taking advantage of the night cover, he went out of the city without knowing it, and went straight to the three large granaries. The large granary ignited a soaring flame.

A thousand men did not stop, and fled before the soldiers guarded by Zhou came.

There is no head-on fight, which is Ji Yanzhi's charge.

In fact, there were only a few hundred guards guarding the granary. It's definitely possible to fight, but it's not necessary. I should have done something bad and ran away. And Zhou Guo was responsible for the hundreds of soldiers guarding the granary. They didn't chase the 1,000 men and horses of Yongguo who ran away after doing bad things, and hurriedly put out the fire and rescued the food.

But the tung oil was splashed, and the sky was dry, and when it was ignited, it was soaring into the sky. It was not human-powered to rescue it at all. In a short time, three large granaries were reduced to ashes.

The news that Zhou Guo's granary was successfully burned was brought back by General Wang Shou. When I heard one of Ji Yan's words, I was very happy at the time, and couldn't help but complain: "This week, the country is very stupid. At first, I didn’t send heavy soldiers to guard it. At first, I thought it was a trap, but I hesitated for several days before I made up my mind. As a result..."

Wang Shoujiang bowed his hands and replied cheerfully. "Your Majesty is right. The end general and General Shen have been stationed at the border for so many years, and he has never encountered a war between the two countries, and the grain and grass are not stored separately."

"Zhou Guo has lost his food and grass. It is estimated that the dog has jumped over the wall and increased his attack." Ji Yanzhi buckled the table with his fingers, but with a smile, he said with a serious expression: "Tell General Shen that the rolling stones and logs can let you The soldiers defending the city have used it. As for the trenches I ordered to be dug, let's wait for the soldiers of the State of Zhou to break through the outer city."

The frontier city that Zhou Guo aggressively attacked was a large town called Liucheng, which was divided into inner and outer cities.

The inner city is basically the people who live in it, while the outer city is the residence of the guards and soldiers who are responsible for guarding the border.

The outer city tightly wraps the inner city, and the distance between each other is very wide.

Therefore, under the situation of Zhou's army being pressured, Ji Yanyi ordered the soldiers guarding the city wall to hold on to the city, while digging trenches in the wide passage between the outer city and the inner city as a second line of defense.

Even if the city is a large city, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers on guard. Against the 500,000 army of Zhou, which is known as the "Million Heroes", it can only stand firmly and not actively fight. Even if Ji Yanzhi did not come to Liucheng by himself, General Shen, who was stationed in Liucheng, would also order the defenders to stick to the city and not take the initiative to fight.

To tell the truth, General Shen sometimes worried that Ji Yanzhi was like the monarch Zhou Guoxin took office. He would have to blindly command if he didn’t understand. Fortunately, Ji Yanzhi’s name for both civil and military is not fake. The bureau plays an inevitable role.

General Wang Shou took the order to talk to General Shen in detail.

General Shen listened attentively, and when Shou General Wang finished speaking, he sighed: "Your Majesty said that the grain and grass for the 500,000 army was burned in one fell swoop, leaving Zhou Guo only two ways, do you want to forcibly attack Liucheng? , Do you want to retreat? Your Majesty said that Zhou’s new monarch was young and energetic, and he was afraid that he would not choose to retreat. That is to say, the only place facing the tens of thousands of guards in the city was the hundreds of thousands of Zhou who were preparing to forcibly attack the city. Great army."

General Wang was silent, and after a while, he suddenly said, "General Shen, don't worry too much. Your subordinates always feel that your Majesty keeps his back and prepares to keep all the hundreds of thousands of Zhou in the city. General Shen also knows. Since I was young, my instincts have been the most acute. I feel that this time Zhou Guo will surely lose all soldiers and lose generals, and will no longer be able to compete with my Da Yong."

General Shen glanced at General Wang. "I said I was worried?"

Wang Shoujiang shook his head sharply.

"If your majesty does not have the true ability, will he use his marriage with Zhou to cede ten cities?" General Shen sighed: "Your majesty, this emperor in the Yong Kingdom must be strong and prosperous. Your Majesty said, one It takes time for the country to develop and grow. And Yongguo not only needs time, but also keeps on guarding against Zhou and Xiguo making small moves when we are developing and growing. Look, when the predecessor Zhouguo died, just talk about the predecessor Zhouguo. The monarch is greedy and lustful and does not cherish his own body.

As soon as Princess Jade Fei died, the prince of the State of Zhou said that Princess Jade Fei was good at witchcraft and killed the predecessor of the State of Zhou. In order to provoke the war, she even said that Princess Jade was instructed by her majesty. Relying on your majesty's talent, he married Princess Yu Fei for the purpose of putting on blame on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to benefit the country of Yong by marrying her. result……

I am afraid that your Majesty has never thought about how long it has been a year since Princess Yu Fei and her relatives married Zhou Guo..."

Wang Shoujiang was silent. In an instant, Wang Shoujiang suddenly asked: "Princess Yufei was really assassinated by the Western country? Couldn't it be the current monarch of Zhou who fought for power and profit and killed Princess Yufei and blamed it on the meat of the Western country? "

"I asked your Majesty." General Shen said: "Your Majesty is sure that it is Princess Jade Fei who was assassinated by the West. I thought about it in private. Your Majesty should be right. The reason why the West Kingdom sent someone to assassinate Princess Jade Fei. Presumably it was to fan the flames and get chestnuts out of the fire."
