Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Shen Ning immediately understood what Li Zhao meant, this was to let him lead the troops to fight.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Ning immediately clenched his fists and said, "The king commands."

"After the autumn harvest, you, as the commander, led 120,000 Zhaowu troops to crusade against the Qi State. Li Zhao said bluntly.

"Yes!"

Letting Shen Ning be the coach was a decision made by Li Zhao after careful consideration. In fact, there is no shortage of good generals in the Zhaowu Army, such as Yang Zhi, Chen Zhe, Han Zhiyuan, Liu Haoyan, Qi Jingyun, including Shi Mu, who has just been promoted. But according to past records, Shen Ning and Shi Ai performed the best.

Shi Ai's record is particularly terrifying, and he almost single-handedly laid down the huge Shu land. Because of this, it is impossible for Li Zhao to appoint him as the head coach in a short period of time. The world is in turmoil, and he will still reuse Shi Ai in the future, but he will put it on hold for the time being.

The battle of the Eastern Crusade was too important, and the Zhaowu army could not afford to be defeated, and only Shen Ning could think about it.

Li Zhao is temporarily in Chengdu, and if the war falls into a stalemate, he will also lead troops to support Shen Ning.

From Qutang Pass to Jinling, thousands of miles away. It is obviously unrealistic to expect to win one or two battles and defeat the entire Qi country. If the war goes smoothly and the front gradually advances into the hinterland of Qi State, Li Zhao will definitely not be able to stay in Chengdu.

"What do you think of the troops in October?" asked Li Zhao. Winters in the south were far less cold than in the north and did not have much impact on the fighting.

"The last general thinks so.

"If you have any doubts in your heart, you can say it, and this king will do his best to help you."

Shen Ning said in a deep voice: "The Qi State Navy controls the surrounding waterways, once the Zhaowu Army's battle line advances, the Navy is very likely to cut off the Zhaowu Army's rear route. The king still needs to build more ships.

"Over there in Qutang Pass, there are more than 100 warships of all kinds, you can rest assured. Li Zhao said.

Shen Ning shook his head slightly, "A hundred is not enough, more warships are needed." In addition to warships, well-trained sailors are also required.

"Shi Ai has been seizing the time to train the navy, and there are currently 20,000 soldiers. "

Dare to ask the king, who will command these naval armies?"

Li Zhao was asked for a while, although there was no shortage of generals in the army, no one had fought a water war, and some were still landlubbers.

"This king will figure out a way to deal with this matter, you don't have to worry.

"Yes. "

The sand table and the map will be sent to you as soon as possible, go back and prepare, think about how to fight this battle?"

Shen Ning had a serious expression and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the king will never let the king down."

After leaving, Shen Ning's face was solemn, this will be a fierce battle.

According to the latest information received, the Qi State is still continuing to increase its troops, and the Qi army in Yiling alone has exceeded 130,000, not including the Qi army in Fuling, Wuling and other places.

...................................................

In Jinling City, Zhang Yanxia is making final preparations, and the army is about to go to Hanzhong.

At this time, his subordinates sent a battle report, and Hengzhuo had attacked Qutang Pass for ten days without making any progress.

This was expected, and Zhang Yanxia was not surprised.

"Can the Zhaowu Army get out of Qutang Pass?" asked Zhang Yanxia.

The subordinate said: "Closed and guarded, there was no action." "

Got it, go down. "

Yes!" He

recently encountered an annoyance, and he didn't know how to arrange the crown prince Jiang Wei.

Originally, he wanted to let him and Heng Zhuo attack Qutang Pass together, but Jiang Wei categorically refused and insisted on going to Hanzhong, threatening to attack Shu and capture Li Zhao alive.

Zhang Yanxia felt funny, the road that Shi Ai had walked was impossible to walk a second time, and as long as Li Zhao was not a fool, he would definitely set up a pass between the cliffs and mountains. In that kind of terrain, once discovered by the enemy, it is almost a dead end.

In order to get rid of this big trouble, he later found Emperor Qi again, hoping that the prince would not go out with the army, but Jiang Ningxian did not agree.

Zhang Yanxia faintly felt in his heart that His Majesty didn't seem to care very much about the prince's safety. There is a basis for him to think so, and everyone in the government and the opposition knows that His Majesty did not like the fourth prince Jiang Wei before. But after the death of the original prince, Jiang Wei was soon appointed as the crown prince. No matter how you look at it, it feels strange.

He was a soldier, and he only led his troops to fight, and he didn't want to pay attention to this. What he was really worried about was that the crown prince Jiang Wei delayed the military plane and caused a catastrophe.

"Are all the things I asked you to prepare?" Zhang Yanxia looked at the soldiers beside him.

The soldiers hurriedly said: "Don't worry, general, all kinds of fine wine have been prepared."

After a while, Zhang Yanxia took his own soldiers and came to the outside of Liu Zhijie's mansion. He was about to leave Jinling, and this battle was dangerous, so he was still a little uneasy, and wanted to ask Liu Zhijie in person.

As before, no matter how much I knocked on the door, there was no response.

"Alas!" Zhang Yanxia sighed, "You go buy a set of bedding, I'll sleep here tonight." The

pro-soldiers bought it quickly, and Zhang Yanxia ignored the strange eyes of passers-by and lay directly on the futon.

In the evening, the gate of Liufu was still not opened. The soldiers couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded Zhang Yanxia to leave, but they were reprimanded.

It wasn't until late in the evening that the gate of Liufu slowly opened. The butler walked out and arched his hand, "General Zhang, please come in with me."

Zhang Yanxia's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly entered the house and handed over the wine he brought to the housekeeper.

After seeing Liu Zhijie, I saw that his hair was all white, his face was full of wrinkles, and he was much older than when they last met. couldn't help but sour his nose, and arched his hand: "I've seen General Zhuguo."

"If you have something to say, you can say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go. Liu Zhijie said impatiently.

"The last general misses the old general, so he came to .......... Zhang Yanxia looked respectful and did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

"There is no need to talk about this kind of nonsense, if the emperor knew that you came to me, he might be misunderstood again. Liu Zhijie interrupted.

"The last general is about to set out to fight against Li Zhao. Before leaving, I want to ask the general, how should this battle be fought?"

Liu Zhijie said coldly: "You have been fighting for so many years, do you want to ask me this kind of question? Not to mention that the affairs of the battlefield are unpredictable and can only change randomly. "

The last general was ashamed and let the general down.

"The old man is going to rest, you can go."

Zhang Yanxia said helplessly: "The last general will leave, and when he comes back, he will come to visit the general again." "

Wait!" Liu Zhijie suddenly stopped Zhang Yanxia.

Zhang Yanxia was slightly stunned, turned around and said, "What else does the general have to order?" "

The Zhaowu army will definitely go out of Qutang Pass, Fuling, Yiling and other places, the mountains and forests are lush, and you can try to attack by fire!"
