One had to know that war was not a child's play!
As the saying went, before the army moved, the rations would move first.
The day before yesterday, the Emperor of Xia Country had just ordered the army to be dispatched. It would take two to three days to prepare the provisions, and then three to four days to transport the provisions.
In addition, they had to boost morale and prepare the army for battle. After arriving on the battlefield, they had to adjust again to let their soldiers adapt to the local environment and rest sufficiently before they could start the battle.
It would take at least a week to prepare.
We just received the news that you had already called!
How urgent was the fight?
"Is this true?" The Desert Emperor asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. How would I dare to deceive Your Majesty?”The general who reported the news said anxiously.
The Emperor of the Desert Kingdom closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He said firmly,""There's no time to lose. Immediately gather 300,000 troops and give me a head-on blow!”
"But Your Majesty, our 300,000 soldiers are scattered across the country. It will take three to four days to gather them. I'm afraid it's too late!”A general cupped his hands and said.
"Then do you have any other way now?" the Desert Emperor roared. The Chinese army was already attacking! Immediately mobilize the troops and do it as quickly as possible! If you let them attack the capital, all of you will be beheaded!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers retreated in fear.
Gather the Mo Country's army to deal with the menacing Xia Country's army.
At this moment, An Lushan was leading 200,000 troops from Xia Country to attack the city.
As the 200,000 troops of the Desert Country were buried in the iron mine, the border was empty and the military strength was seriously insufficient. They had no strength to fight back and were continuously attacked by the Xia Country's army.
Therefore, the Xia Country's army advanced triumphantly without stopping.
In less than a day, they had conquered four cities and pushed the border of Xia Country more than 50 miles north.
An Lushan was in high spirits." Soldiers, let's continue to attack. We'll try to take down the 15 cities of the Mo Kingdom in three days. We'll push our borders 200 miles north!”
"Yes, General!" The soldiers responded.
But at this moment, a deputy general said hesitantly,""But General, we have been fighting for a day and a night. The soldiers need to rest! Moreover, we fought too quickly, and the rations were not enough…"
"This is indeed a problem, but we have to fight!”An Lushan smiled bitterly." Before we set off, I received His Majesty's instructions. This time, we should attack as fast and as far as we can. We can't stop!”
" General, I'd like to say something offensive..." The deputy general said in a low voice,""Isn't Your Majesty messing around? How can you fight like this?"
"How could I not know? But military orders are hard to disobey!”An Lushan sighed.
As an old general, how could he not know the consequences of such a risky battle?
Once the food supply ran out and the soldiers were tired, they would definitely lose this battle.
However, he had just become a Great General and obtained military power. His foundation was too shallow, so he could only listen to orders.
An Lushan thought for a moment and came up with an idea."How about this, we split the 200,000 soldiers into two groups. One group will rest, and the other will continue to fight. The resting side could help transport the rations! In this way, we still have the strength to fight this battle!”
"Now that things have come to this, this is the only way!”The deputy general nodded.
"Now that the Desert Country's national defense is empty, even if there are only 100,000 troops, we can still kill them!”
An Lushan lightly pointed at the 100,000 soldiers who were still fighting. He raised his saber high and roared,""Soldiers, follow this general. This is the time to make contributions!”
"Yes, General!" The soldiers responded.
Hence, the Xia Country's army continued to attack cities and seize territory.
The Mo Country urgently dispatched troops and sent an ambassador to Xia Country.
In Xia Country's court, the Mo Kingdom's envoy, Qi Mu, questioned loudly,"Your Majesty, back then, we had already signed a contract. Our country had to pay a certain price in exchange for the iron mine! Now, you've forcefully snatched it back and even invaded our country's territory…You've gone back on your word and betrayed us.”
"Envoy of the Mo Kingdom, your words are too much!" Lin Beifan smiled. What go back on your word, what go back on your word? I have never done such a thing!”
"The iron mine in the Flower Prefecture that you mentioned, I've always kept it for you. If you want it, you can come and get it at any time! As for other places, we haven't signed a contract. What's wrong with me calling them? Haven't you done this before?"
The envoy of the Mo Kingdom was furious!
You actually have the nerve to say that you're leaving the iron mine for us to come and get it at any time?
You have already invaded our territory and surrounded the iron mine. How can we take it away?
As an envoy, he had seen countless people, but he had never seen such a shameless person!
"It seems that your country doesn't intend to retreat?”
"Have you ever seen a person spit out meat that has been in their mouth?”
"Good! That's all I have to say!" "Emperor of Xia Country, I'll let you be proud for a while!" The envoy of the Mo Country said indignantly. After that, you will see the surging cavalry of my Mo Kingdom. They are not people you can provoke! Farewell!"
Lin Beifan smiled.”
After sending off the envoy from the Mo Kingdom, the model of the empire appeared in Lin Beifan's mind.
At this moment, the empire's sandbox was no longer the original empire's sandbox. It had already extended to the north for more than 50 miles.
Moreover, it was still expanding.
Lin Beifan's eyes lit up.”
