In Baofeng County, the eldest prince was discussing the military expedition with his grandfather Xiao Liming.
Xiao Liming was overjoyed and said, "Very good, this is a great opportunity. We need to send out troops, not just troops, but large troops. One hundred thousand is not enough, we need two hundred thousand! We don't need civilians along the way, all of them are elite troops, and we can use the food and grass we secretly left outside Wuyang City!"
"Ah..." The eldest prince was unable to understand for a moment, "Are we really going to attack Songzhou County?"
The eldest prince had no intention of attacking Songzhou County at all! Shangguan Yong had completely guessed what the eldest prince meant.
What about Xiao Liming? Xiao Liming smiled brightly, "Who said we want to attack Songzhou County? But attacking Songzhou County is a good excuse and cover. With this excuse, we can hide Li Yulong's plan; after the army arrives in Songzhou County, we will immediately turn to the northeast to attack and catch Li Yulong off guard. Even if the situation allows, attacking Anyang is not a bad idea. Although Anyang looks good now, it has just experienced a war and is bound to be empty; attacking Anyang at this time has a 50% chance of achieving a brilliant victory."
"Attack Anyang?!" Upon hearing the plan, the first reaction of the eldest prince was to disagree; the preparations were not sufficient. In the previous battles in Anyang, hundreds of thousands of lives had been sacrificed to establish his reputation, and now not many people dared to attack Anyang. Especially now that Anyang had supersonic aircraft, this was a powerful weapon, and it was possible that a bomb would drop on his head in the middle of the night.
Xiao Liming's eyes were firm: "It is because no one dares to attack Anyang that if we attack, we will have a great chance of winning! Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. If you want to achieve great things, you must have the determination and courage to take risks!"
The eldest prince still didn't dare to take the risk. The price of angering Anyang seemed a little high - what if Anyang and Li Xian got angry and threw bombs at Wufeng City
Xiao Liming still insisted and gave various reasons; in the end he even brought up Xia Qingqing - with Xia Qingqing around, Li Xian at least would not kill anyone from the royal family.
Well, after his life was guaranteed, the eldest prince finally agreed to let Xiao Liming send troops.
As for Xiao Liming, when he saw that the eldest prince agreed to send troops to attack Anyang on the premise that "his own life is guaranteed", contempt flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Liming acted quickly. He assembled an army of 200,000 that afternoon and marched towards the southeast in a mighty force. The slogan they raised was - to suppress the rebellion!
The scope of the campaign against rebellion was wide, but there was only one Songzhou County to the southeast of Baofeng County. Xiao Liming personally led the army to the expedition, and the troops spanned five or six miles and stretched for more than ten miles, surging towards the southeast like an indestructible wave.
The team included motorcycles, artillery, airplanes (following behind), and many "guns" that could be used as small cannons. In addition, the bomb technology was not very good at the time, so Baofeng County invented the "explosive bag".
Of course, in addition to these, there are also a large number of traditional items, such as talismans, magic tools, etc. Especially the one-time self-destructing magic tools, the power is still very good, but the price is too high and the quantity is small.
