Chapter 321 Strategic Intention
The three counties in the north, Jinghu, Yumu and Yanhui, are not very large.

Three counties are born around Mirror Lake.The terrain around Jinghu Lake is flat, and there are large tracts of fertile black soil.

Therefore, although the weather in the three counties is severe and cold, there are many people living in Yunchui.

There are even several county kings living there.

Of course, these county princes are all royal families who voluntarily quit the Xingji City circle in the early years.

They have the title of county king, but they don't have the slightest real power. They are just rich men.

The county is small and the terrain in the middle is flat, so marching is relatively easy.

At the beginning of February, the majestic Beihai Customs appeared in front of us.

Ren Ning looked up.

The ancient Great Wall is entrenched among the snow-capped mountains like a giant dragon, extending far to the west, and it is unknown how long it is tens of thousands of miles.

drive!
Chu Jinding rode over and asked with a smile, "Is this the first time you see the Great Wall?"

Ren Ning shook his head, "General, I have seen the Great Wall before."

But that was the last life.

Chu Jin certainly did not doubt that it was there, and looked up feelingly.

"The Great Wall has been standing for thousands of years. Since its establishment, it has protected us Yunchui from countless times of wind and snow attacks by alien races in the north."

"Every time I see it, I can't help but feel sincere admiration for the strength of our ancestors. It also reminds us how hard-won the land under our feet is."

So risk your life to protect it.

Ren Ning agreed with a smile, "What the general said is very true. I think when Ren Ning met for the first time, his jaw almost dropped..."

The two chatted about the role of the Great Wall haha, and continued to march towards the North Customs.

While talking, Ren Ning glanced at the majestic city wall again.

No matter how strong the wind and snow is in the north, it will stop sometimes.No matter how ruthless a foreign race is, there are times when they are afraid.

The Great Wall, like the Western Fortress, was built to defend against foreign enemies.

However, whether it is the majestic Great Wall or the fortress that is armed to the teeth, it cannot deter the greedy neighbors, nor can it block their offensive footsteps. Instead, it locks the footsteps and sights of some local people.

Instead of sticking to the Great Wall for thousands of years, it is better to go west and drive the enemy tens of thousands of miles.

Of course, Ren Ning did not say these words.

Three days later, the Xingluo Pioneer Battalion successfully settled in Beihaiguan.

General Huang Shitao, the gate guard, only came over to meet the two of them out of courtesy, and hurried away with his personal guards without saying a word.

"Avoid suspicion?" Chu Jinding hummed these two words coldly, "Is it because he is afraid that we will make some difficult demands for him."

For example, send troops to Baekje together.

Ren Ning smiled and shook his head.

This was the first time he had seen Huang Shitao in person, but the intelligence network of the Starfall Legion contained the detailed personal information of General Yunchui Sifang.

So it is not unfamiliar.

Huang Shitao's ancestor was the Hanoi County Captain in the previous dynasty.

In 600, the founding emperor of Yunchui led the Xingluo army to sweep across the entire country.

Lao Huang adhered to the principle of joining if he couldn't beat him, and without hesitation ordered all the guards in Hanoi County to lay down their weapons, and finally turned into the founding marquis of Yunchui.

It's a pity that the descendants of the old Huang's family, like the Zhongyong Bo Xiao's family, are difficult to use.

But at least the Xiao family still has the name of the uncle's mansion, and the Hou's mansion has been passed down to Huang Shitao's generation and has become the general's mansion.

Huang Shitao also begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother everywhere, and then he became the general guard of Beihai Customs step by step.

Perhaps because of the bitter cold in the north, the other generals were unwilling to come here, so he took advantage of it.

Huang Shitao was looking forward to war but also afraid that war would really come.

If there is a war, then their Huang family will be able to earn credit like the Xiao family to restore the glory of their ancestors.

However, Huang Shitao's ancestors were from Hanoi County after all.

It is almost the geographical center of Yunchui, and it almost passes through Hanoi County regardless of whether it is east, west, north or south, so he is very aware of Yunchui's current situation.

The national treasury is empty, food, grass and medicinal materials are insufficient, and the manufacture of weapons and armor is even far away.

Therefore, if war really broke out, he was worried that he would not be able to defend the Beihai Customs under his feet.

As a gate guard general, the price of not being able to guard is death!

In addition, besides the war, Huang Shitao was also worried about one thing: his perception in Emperor Changxing's heart.

For example, in Zhennan Gongfu, every generation of children and grandchildren can make outstanding contributions, resulting in no emperor title.This certainly made the royal family unhappy.

And their Huang family is not as good as one generation after another, which makes the emperor even more unhappy.

Ever since Emperor Changxing decided to reform Yunchui's military system, he dismissed twenty county lieutenants with a wave of his hand.

Although Huang Shitao is far away in Beihai Customs, he is not a local garrison.However, every morning when he woke up and opened his eyes, he was worried that the black yarn on his head would be taken off by Emperor Changxing.

"They are all generals guarding the pass. Yuan Xingwen in the south usually doesn't show his mountains and dews, but he is training his army all the time. Whenever there is a chance, Lao Yuan will not hesitate to kill Nan Feng."

"And this Huang Shitao..." Chu Jinding let out a long sigh.

Before going north to work, the Huang family was considered a noble family in Xingji City.

And Huang Shitao was able to follow his father into the palace from time to time, at least there was such a person in Emperor Changxing's heart.

Later, at some point in Xingji City, a joke about Huang Shitao came out.

Once in Miyagi, Emperor Changxing bent down for some reason, but he lay down on the ground without hesitation to show respect.

Thinking about this, Ren Ning couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Such a person only asks that he can guard the pass under his feet, and forget about the rest.

The two stood in front of the enlarged version of the Baekje map.

The sun representing the Japanese pirates on the map has moved a few inches to the west, but it is still far away from the central area of ​​Baekje.

The snow was too heavy and the weather was too cold, so the Japanese pirates tried their best to attack westward.

However, every nation has its heroes, and now they are blocked by the Baekje Army in the mountains about [-] miles away from the east coast, and they can no longer move forward.

After Ren Ning read the latest news, his eyes fell on the Golden Dragon Beach where Xiao Zheng was stationed in the south-central area.

He hardly had to think about it.

If the progress on land in the east is not smooth, the Japanese pirates will intensify their attacks on Jinlong Beach in order to break through the confinement of the east from the sea.

"Uncle Xiao is probably having a hard time right now," Chu Jinding said.

"Yes." Ren Ning nodded.

It’s almost March, and the climate is starting to warm up whether it’s Yunchui or Baekje.

Xiao Zheng will be more and more sad if he doesn't send troops.

"General, what is General Wei's strategic intention?" Ren Ning asked again.

Should they find a way to bring Xiao Zheng's more than [-] Japanese troops back to the mainland intact, or keep the Baekje royal family and even drive all the Japanese pirates into the sea?

If the former, it is relatively simple.

Just open a road in the vast forest in the north of Baekje and lead them back.

If it is the latter, it will be a long-lasting and endless war among the Three Kingdoms.

Chu Jinding pondered for a while, "I'm afraid General Wei has the final say on this matter."

Ren Ning raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked to the south.

If what Wei Junqian said doesn't count, then what Emperor Changxing of Xingji City said does count.

Chu Jinding explained: "His Royal Highness King Qi is in Baekje now, and among so many princes of His Majesty, he seems to be the most accomplished."

"So we prepare for the worst first."

At least Chen Xiuzhu's reputation should not be stained.

In the following days, various news were flying.

While waiting for Wei Junqian's arrival, Ren Ning and Chu Jinding made preparations for moving eastward.

At sea, hundreds of warships were refitting rapidly.Big trees were cut down and made into heavy crossbow bolts, which were then carried onto warships.

On land, the spies and engineers quickly crossed the border and headed eastward, the sentry points where the sentry points should be, and the roads that should be repaired.

A few days later, when it was clear, some young teeth had sprouted on the tree.
