Use unpreparedness to be prepared, Wujinhun hit the nail on the head!
The Tie Zhan Dynasty had been carefully planning and preparing for nearly ten years. Both in terms of military strength and strategic reserves, they had reached the ultimate level before launching an offensive against the Tiandu Kingdom. But what about the Qingyun Empire? After several years of internal strife, the country is exhausted and the people are exhausted. Not only has the military strength been greatly weakened, but the domestic economy has also reached an extremely serious stage. Using troops against the Iron War Dynasty under such circumstances, not to mention whether they can win or not, even if they win in the end, the price they have to pay must be very heavy and shocking.
"Well! Jingqi, tell me what you think." Xu Wenchuan turned to look at Hu Jingqi again.
Hu Jingqi paused and did not answer hastily. Instead, he also turned his attention to Wan Youqi first. Wan Youqi's heart suddenly sank, and a wry smile appeared on her face. She had vaguely guessed what Hu Jingqi thought.
Sure enough, Hu Jingqi opened his mouth and said, "I agree with Jin Hun's opinion. It is indeed not the right time to use troops against the Tie Zhan Dynasty at the moment. At the least, the mountains and rivers will be shattered, and at the worst, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed."
"Now is not the time, so in your opinion, when is the time?"
Hu Jingqi and Wu Jinhun looked at each other, and Wu Jinhun opened his mouth and said, "It will take at least two years! In these two years, one is to restore the national strength, the other is to store grain and grass, and the third is to recruit troops."
The ideas of Hu Jingqi and Wu Jinhun were obviously similar to those of Hero Xu Wenchuan. After hearing this, Xu Wenchuan nodded slightly. However, this answer is really a bit cruel to Tiandu Kingdom. It is really hard for Xu Wenchuan to nod in front of Wan Youqi. What's more, he doesn't know what his precious grandson's opinions are. .
In fact, Hu Jingqi and Wu Jinhun were also worried about Wan Dong. Xu Wenchuan has a great strategy and naturally knows what is best for the Qingyun Empire. But Wandong is different! In terms of talent, resourcefulness and strategy, Wan Dong might be better than Hu Jingqi and Wu Jinhun, but when it comes to impulsiveness and righteousness, Wu Jinhun and Hu Jingqi are no match for Wandong either. The two of them were afraid that Wandong would be impulsive and not care about many things, let alone reason with you, which would cause trouble.
"Yao Ting, what do you think?" The eyes of Hu Jingqi, Wu Jinhun and Xu Wenchuan fell on Wan Dong almost at the same time. If Wandong insists on using troops against the Iron War Dynasty now, things will be very difficult.
If it were before today, the worries of Hu Jingqi and the others would probably have happened, but today at that banquet, Wandong had already figured everything out. The lives of the people of the Tiandu Kingdom are lives, but the lives of the people of the Qingyun Empire are nothing more than trivial matters
If we use troops against the Iron War Dynasty now, there is a high possibility that both the Qingyun Empire and the Tiandu Kingdom will be defeated in the end. If even the Qingyun Empire is defeated, no one will be able to subdue the Iron War Dynasty. Not only will the people of Tiandu Kingdom fall into eternal darkness, but even the people of the Qingyun Empire will become the Iron War Dynasty for generations to come. slave. You know, a little impatience can mess up a big plan!
"If it's only two years, I believe that the soldiers and civilians of Tiandu Kingdom will be able to persevere!" Wan Dong pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Wan Youqi, his eyes burning like fire, full of determination and encouragement.
Wan Youqi's originally depressed mood suddenly cheered up under Wan Dong's gaze. Yes, it's just two years. With the determination and will of Tiandu Kingdom’s military and civilians, there is no reason why we cannot persevere!
Wandong's words were undoubtedly equivalent to accepting Hu Jingqi's opinion. The heavy weight on the hearts of the three people immediately fell to the ground, and they all felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
"Grandpa, although we cannot use troops against the Iron War Dynasty immediately, we must still find ways to reduce the pressure on the Tiandu Kingdom! We must not just sit around and do nothing."
Xu Wenchuan immediately nodded and said, "Go on!"
Wan Dong hummed, and then said, "First of all, our Qingyun Empire must do our best to support Tiandu Kingdom in terms of material and financial resources."
"It's natural! When fighting, you fight for gold! The Qingyun Empire's national power has indeed been weakened a lot in recent years, but I believe it is still much richer than the Tiandu Kingdom."
Wan Youqi had no hope of getting reinforcements from the Qingyun Empire during her trip to Yunzhong City. At this time, according to Hu Jingqi's wishes, she would spare no effort to support the Tiandu Kingdom in terms of material and financial resources. This was very important to her. It was a huge surprise to me, and I couldn't thank you enough.
Wan Dong added, "Secondly, we need to gather more troops at the border between the Qingyun Empire and the Tie Zhan Dynasty to put pressure on the Tie Zhan Dynasty so that they dare not use all their forces to invade the Tiandu Kingdom.
Xu Wenchuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded frequently and said, "This is a great move! It's true and false. Let's scare the Tie Zhan Dynasty first."
Wan Youqi looked at Wan Dong with eyes that were even more filled with gratitude. Wandong's two suggestions are really of great help to Tiandu Kingdom. As a result, Wan Youqi became more confident in holding Tiandu Kingdom for two years.
"In addition, General Wan, I feel that in the entanglement with the Iron War Dynasty, there is no need to worry too much about the gains and losses of one city or one place. Concentrate your forces, annihilate the effective forces of the Iron War Dynasty, and strengthen yourself at the same time. This is the way to lasting victory!"
As soon as Wan Dong said this, Wu Jinhun and Xu Wenchuan looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
Don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, concentrate your forces, annihilate the enemy's effective strength, and strengthen yourself in the process of dealing with it. These few sentences may sound simple and no big deal, but they are the real magic weapon for defeating the strong with the weak. Without considerable research on the art of war, we would never have been able to formulate such a sophisticated and grand strategy. If the Tiandu Kingdom wasn't really too small, with this strategy, they might be able to turn defeat into victory and completely defeat the Iron War Dynasty.
Tiandu Kingdom's military strength is limited, and it has to be spread out to defend various cities. This just gives the Iron War Dynasty an opportunity to defeat them one by one. It would be better to abandon the city instead of defending it and concentrate the general's forces to deal with the enemy, which would actually have a better chance of winning.
After all, Wan Youqi's accomplishments in leading troops in battle are inferior to Wu Jinhun and Xu Wenchuan. It will take a while for her to digest Wan Dong's words, but it is not difficult to see from her gradually brightening eyes that Wan Dong's words have already affected her. Inspire.
"Yao Ting, I didn't expect that you are also very good at studying the art of war. I think that in the future, I will give you an army, which will definitely defeat the Iron War Dynasty!" Wu Jinhun said with a smile.
Wan Dong's expression suddenly perked up, and he spoke unceremoniously, "This is natural! One day, I will definitely compete with the Iron War Dynasty on the battlefield. However, I don't need anyone to give me an army. , I want to create an army with my own hands!”
"Like Dingshanwei?"
"What is the Dingshan Guard? It's a prototype at most! What I want is a million-strong cavalry that can gallop across the entire Dongxuan Continent and be invincible!"
"Millions of cavalry!?" Wu Jinhun, Xu Wenchuan, and Hu Jingqi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Everyone was shocked by the domineering and courage shown by Wan Dong.
A big man should have great aspirations! Looking at Wandong with a firm expression and magnificent momentum, Shangguan Yunzhu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Okay, okay! As expected of my Xu Wenchuan's son, he is really ambitious! Hahaha..." Xu Wenchuan was even more happy, twirling his long beard and laughing non-stop.
Wan Dong smiled slightly, suddenly turned to look at Xu Liang, and asked, "General Xu, it's already midnight. Are you sleepy?"
The people here are more awesome than the others, and there is really no room for Xu Liang to interrupt. Xu Liang has been acting as an audience on the side. He is really a little sleepy. He can't help but nodded and said, "It's indeed a bit... ah!"
Before Xu Liang could finish his words, Wu Jinhun's big foot had already kicked him on the buttocks, and kicked him more than a foot away.
"No... not sleepy, I'm not... not sleepy at all!" Xu Liang hurriedly changed his words while rubbing his buttocks. Speaking of sleepiness, Wu Jinhun might kick him in the head next time.
"Okay! You saved Yue Zhong and Tan Jian. I said I would show my gratitude, so I can't break my promise! Now, I will teach you a set of sword skills to show my gratitude!"
"You're welcome, you really don't have to...Thank you, Young Marquis, for your advice!" Xu Liang was accustomed to being polite, but suddenly he saw Wu Jinhun's cold eyes glancing over, and he stopped hastily.
Wu Jinhun chuckled and said, "Yao Ting, do you want to teach Xu Liang's 'Holy Sword Way'?"
Wan Dong was stunned for a moment, looked at Wu Jinhun, and asked in surprise, "When did Uncle Wu learn the magical power of predicting the unknown?"
Wu Jinhun smiled bitterly and touched his nose, and said, "What's the prophet? Forget it! Ever since you taught that boy Wu Yang the way of the holy sword, this little beast has been showing off in front of me whenever he has time. I'm so angry that I want to teach him a lesson." Oh, grandma, that holy swordsmanship is really overbearing. That guy’s cultivation level is obviously two levels lower than mine, but I can’t defeat him. I’m so frustrated every time.”
Wu Jinhun had been holding back his anger for more than a day or two. Several times he couldn't help but want to come to Wandong and ask Wandong to teach him the way of the holy sword. However, at such an old age, he really couldn't open his mouth. Depending on the situation today, I might be able to take advantage of Xu Liang. Who knows, this guy kept being polite and pretending to be aloof, so he couldn't help but kick him twice.
"What? The Marquis wants to... want to teach me the way of the holy sword?" Xu Liang, who was on the side, exclaimed after listening to the conversation between the two, and almost fainted out of joy.
He followed Wu Jinhun every day. When Wu Jinhun was disgraced by Wu Yang, he was by his side. Which warrior could not be tempted by such a superior celestial science as the Holy Sword Way? It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Liang never dreamed that he would have such an opportunity.
"Yes! Although this holy sword technique is precious, it is nothing compared to the lives of Yue Zhong and Tan Jian! As long as General Xu doesn't dislike it, I am willing to teach this sword technique to General Xu!"
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it! If he dares to dislike him, I will skin him!" Before Xu Liang could say anything, Wu Jinhun rushed to say, "Hey... Yaoting, one sheep is herded, and a group of sheep are herded, you Since you want to pass it on, why don’t you pass it on to me as well?”
Wu Jinhun looked at Wandong pitifully, his face full of pleading. It’s not that he, a great general, doesn’t know how to respect his identity. He is actually being bullied by his son every day. It’s really not an ordinary frustration... (To be continued)
