I'm a scumbag

Chapter 374
For Wu Chao's side, everything is really ready now.

And even the east wind is not lacking.

Ning Chen's theory of Mahayana Buddhism is Dongfeng.

So now for the Wu Dynasty, a quick battle is the best option.

Ten days later, Ning Chen arrived at Baijia City in Hezhou with a large army.

In addition to Hezhou Baijiacheng, there were already a thousand city defense troops.

Now in Hezhou's Baijia City, four thousand city defense troops have been hoarded.

The city defense army is Ning Chen's own property.

Of course, following Wu Zhao's imperial decree, Ning Chen is now the Generalissimo of the Western Expedition.

The troops that can be mobilized are not just the [-] city defense troops of his own.

It also includes the [-] Tigers who have already settled in Hezhou at this time, as well as the [-] Imperial Guards and the [-] Tigers who are rushing over on the road.

There is a total of 12 troops, all under Ning Chen's control.

An army of 12 is actually a very large number.

In this ancient environment, the so-called army of one million is an imaginary number.

It is said to be a million, half of it is not bad.

And among this half, at least four-fifths are civilian husbands.

The real possibility of participating in the battle is about [-].

Out of a hundred thousand, half of them are true professional soldiers.

The remaining half are basically regiment training, or those who do farm work on weekdays, like reserve soldiers.

But the 12 troops under Ning Chen's command are all real professional soldiers.

If you count the civilian husbands who served them, etc., what Ning Chen commanded may be the real army of millions.

Although the army hadn't arrived yet, the formation of troops had to be arranged.

As soon as people arrive, the battle will start soon.

Ning Chen didn't know much about the formation of troops, so Ning Chen didn't arrange it directly, but handed it over to the two generals sent by Marquis Dingguo and King Jing.

"Brother Mu, you really miss me." Ning Chen said enthusiastically to Xu Muzhi.

Xu Muzhi directly chose to avoid Ning Chen.

Without it.

In front of Ning Chen, Xu Muzhi is really insignificant.

He was so small that others couldn't see the light on him at all.

Especially in these years, Ning Chen's body has more and more light.

Just to pacify the Ten Thousand Monsters Country, Xu Muzhi will chase Ning Chen in his life.

Marquis Dingguo sent Xu Muzhi, while King Jing sent a general named Zhao Tuo.

This is also the fierce general under Prince Jing.

Ning Chen got to know General Zhao from Old General Wu.

Old General Wu knew a little about this General Zhao.

Because this General Zhao once served as a captain under his command.

General Wu still spoke very highly of Zhao Tuo.

According to Old General Wu, this General Zhao is just like Changshan Zhao Zilong.

Brave and wise.

The talent itself is very high, and it took less than 30 years to reach the third rank of Wufu.

In the army, he has repeatedly made military exploits.

Whether it is leading a surprise attack or commanding an army.

Zhao Tuo is very resourceful.

"General Zhao." Ning Chen would not be too enthusiastic about this Zhao Tuo.

First of all, everyone is unfamiliar, and secondly, the people under Prince Jing, except for the rebellious boy, are all serious after all.

Zhao Tuo, who was nearly two meters tall and slender, dressed in ordinary clothes, respectfully replied: "The last general, Zhao Tuo, has met Lord Hou."

"General Zhao doesn't need to be so restrained. Next, he will rely on General Zhao to deploy his troops. General Zhao just needs to be more casual." Ning Chen looked at the restrained Zhao Tuo and said.

Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "Master Hou is the master of the military family. In front of Lord Hou, the general will not dare to act presumptuously."

Ning Chen glanced sideways, and Xu Muzhi, who was grinning at the side and curled his lips, said, "Look at how polite they are, and then see what you say."

After finishing speaking, Ning Chen didn't give Xu Muzhi a chance to refute, and directly said to Zhao Tuo: "General Zhao, although I am the master of the military family, my soldiers are impermanent, my strength is impermanent, and my water is impermanent.

Not all wars my approach is the most opportune.

And since I just arrived in Hezhou, I don't know much about the situation in Hezhou and the Western Regions than the two of you.

Now the imperial court wants us to fight quickly, so there is very little time for me to understand.

So the next formation of troops can only be handed over to the two of you. "

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Zhao Tuo felt more respect for Ning Chen in his heart.

Xu Muzhi watched from the side, and the worst part got even bigger.

In Xu Muzhi's view, Ning Chen had never commanded such a big battle.

Although he is the master of the art of war, it is useless without experience.

Xu Muzhi knew about the pacification of Wan Yao Kingdom.

But the Wan Yao Kingdom was not defeated, but settled by a holy way.

But on the side of the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions, it really needs real swords and guns to fight.

It has to be said that Xu Muzhi still knows Ning Chen quite well.

It's just that what Xu Muzhi saw was Ning Chen standing on the first floor, but Ning Chen was actually standing on the fifteenth floor.

Then Ning Chen continued to say to Zhao Tuo and Xu Muzhi: "Let me tell you the reason why the imperial court asked us to fight quickly."

Then Ning Chen told Zhao Tuo and Xu Muzhi about the second rank of Western Regions he met on the road, and the Mahayana Buddhism that he had told him.

After Zhao Tuo heard what Ning Chen said, he directly respected Ning Chen.

After hearing what Ning Chen said, Xu Muzhi was shocked at first, and then gritted his teeth.

This time, Ning Chen pretended to be it again.

But Xu Muzhi had to admit the theory of Mahayana Buddhism.

It's really amazing.

If such a theory was discovered by him, Xu Muzhi.

And it spread to the Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions.

Thinking about such a thing made Xu Muzhi feel very excited.

I was so excited that my whole body was shaking.

Ning Chen looked back at Xu Muzhi, and said, "General Xu, are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Muzhi met Ning Chen's eyes, immediately restrained his emotions, and said expressionlessly: "No, I'm fine."

Ning Chen smiled slightly, and then continued: "This is how things are now. So this time, the battle, except that I don't understand the situation.

Also, because of Mahayana Buddhism, I have no way to directly participate in it.

But if I stay here, I can help you contain a large number of people.

After all, compared to the Wu Dynasty, I am now the biggest threat to the entire Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions. "

Zhao Tuo nodded and said: "Master Hou is right, if Master Hou sits here, it can indeed help us contain a large number of people.

But if this happens, the danger Hou Ye will face will be even greater.

After all, Baijiacheng is here, if the Western Regions is really determined to send out a few second-rank Bodhisattvas. "

Zhao Tuo didn't finish, but Ning Chen already understood what Zhao Tuo meant.

"Don't worry, when it's time to abandon the city, I will decisively abandon the city.

To me, these hundred cities don't have any symbolic meaning.

He is just a city.

Where people lose land, everyone gains land.If you lose your land, you will lose your land.

I'm not that pedantic, insisting on living and dying with the city or something like that.

At that time, I will take these second-rank Bodhisattvas and run to Prince Jing or Marquis Dingguo.

If these second-rank bodhisattvas really want to die, I will make them perfect. "

After Zhao Tuo finished listening, he repeated what Ning Chen had said just now, about saving people and losing land, and saving land and losing people.

After touching it several times, Zhao Tuocai said: "Your Majesty's words, there are indeed mysteries everywhere. The general admires it."

Xu Muzhi was at the side, his mouth was about to split to the back of his head.

Sure enough, after meeting Ning Chen, he has nothing to do with himself.

He directly became a little transparent.

The most important thing is that Ning Chen's words really reveal mystery everywhere.

Xu Muzhi couldn't accept it.

"Okay, let's get down to business first, let's talk about how to attack the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions."

Zhao Tuo nodded, then looked at Xu Muzhi, and said, "General Xu, please show the sand table you made to Master Hou."

Reluctantly, Xu Muzhi showed off the sand table he had made.

It must be admitted that Xu Muzhi is actually very powerful.

It is this refined sand table that cannot be made by ordinary people.

On the sand table, the overall layout of the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions is clear at a glance.

The Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions are arranged in a ring as a whole.

The center of the ring is the core of the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions.

It is also the dojo of those Arhats and Bodhisattvas.

There are a total of [-] Buddha kingdoms arranged in circles outside the circle.

These Buddhist kingdoms are all built on some key nodes relying on favorable terrain.

Anyone who wants to reach the core area must pass through one of the [-] Buddha Kingdoms no matter from which direction.

In addition to the Buddha Kingdom, there will be many temples in the blank space of each ring.

There are Buddhist masters sitting in these temples.

The existence of these temples is to prevent masters from breaking out.

Large troops must take a flat road, but masters do not need to break through.

However, the existence of these scattered temples has become a fortress for discovering and blocking masters.

The defense of the entire Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions can be said to be like an iron bucket.

"Do you two have any ideas about attacking the Western Regions?" Ning Chen asked after watching the sand table for a while.

Zhao Tuo said: "General Xu and I have discussed before, like this circular arrangement.

If we focus on one point, we can provide support from other directions at any time.

Or it may shrink directly to the center.

In this way, if we hit the center, we will face all the remaining troops in the entire Buddhist kingdom.

At that time, we are the attacking side, and the opponent is waiting for work at ease.

It may be difficult for us to accomplish anything. "

"So I have the same idea as General Xu, to attack in four directions at the same time. Let them be overwhelmed.

This time we are the dominant side, and we are fully capable of attacking from all directions at the same time. "

After listening to Zhao Tuo's words, Ning Chen nodded slightly.

After pondering for a while, Ning Chen asked Zhao Tuo: "General Zhao, if we attack like this, will our losses be great?"

Zhao Tuo said: "It will indeed be huge in the early stage, but when we really attack the core, our casualties will be much smaller."

Ning Chen nodded again, and then said: "You two, I have an idea, you can discuss it and see if it works."

"Master Hou, please speak."

Ning Chen said: "My suggestion is to attack in one direction.

It has been forcing the Western Regions to shrink their defenses.

It is best to shrink the entire defense line to their core. "

Xu Muzhi interrupted Ning Chen's words: "The city wall at the core of the Western Region is very strong, and there are many masters sitting in it.

In that case, if we only attack one point, the casualties will be even greater. "

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "No, we didn't force people to the core to attack the core.

It was to turn around and destroy all the surrounding Buddhist kingdoms, leaving him with only one core. "

Xu Muzhi shook his head and said, "It's meaningless, and it won't hurt their roots."

Ning Chen smiled and said: "It is really meaningless to do this before.

Because we destroyed their places, their people and teachings are still there. "

"But now, the meaning of this matter is different."

"If we destroy all their places, then he still has someone to help us spread Mahayana Buddhism."

"At that time, their internal divisions will be divided. If we want to fight again, will it be easier?"

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Zhao Tuo's eyes lit up.

If it is really possible to disintegrate the enemy from the inside, it will definitely be easier to fight.

"If this is really possible, it would be the best." Zhao Tuo said.

Xu Muzhi pondered for a while, and said seriously: "If this is really possible, then of course it is the best.

The only thing we are not sure about now is the spread of Mahayana Buddhism.

Can it really be done that quickly?

If it is not fast enough, if we want to attack next, the casualties will be too great. "

Ning Chen said: "So what if we don't move quickly?
The Buddhist kingdoms around them are gone, where can their people go?
You can only stay in the core area, as long as you stay in the core area, let him slowly ferment.

We just need to besiege the city, wait for it to ferment, and then attack them.

We are not in a hurry now, not them.

Based on our current situation, if the population doubles directly in another ten or twenty years.

We have much more fresh troops available than them.

And can they wait ten or twenty years?

We have to put on an attitude of fighting a protracted war and let them mess themselves up.

It doesn't matter how long you fight? It doesn't matter if you win.

What's more, ten years is just a flick of a finger for us.

With the current national strength of the Wu Dynasty, it is not a problem to support the army to wait for ten years on the front line.

If it doesn't work, we can move a large number of people here.

Reclaim and cultivate land directly on the land of the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions.

At that time, the Western Regions will be self-sufficient directly, and we will consume them slowly.

See who can spend who.

The Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions have existed for thousands of years, is it still ten or eight years away? "

After Ning Chen finished speaking, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but nodded.

"General Xu, what do you think?" Zhao Tuo looked at Xu Muzhi and asked.

　Because of a system problem, the one that was replaced yesterday was directly sent to the draft box, and I just saw it after being reminded by everyone.It is said that the starting point has made fd by itself now, so the system is a little messy.Feel sorry
