After identifying Prince Fangzheng, the warehouse manager and the eunuch manager Lanli as the target persons, Cheng Jinzhou appeared in the general's camp.

Two rows of generals lined up in a single line, shouting "Your Majesty" and bowing in unison. Their bright armors were as dazzling as thighs in a nightclub, and the sound of steel and muscle rubbing against each other reached my ears.

Before he could speak, a general below suddenly knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Sir, I am willing to serve as a vanguard and lead the army to the city."

The group of people were all stunned.

The deputy general is a second-grade military general with a very high official rank, roughly equivalent to the role of deputy commander of the group army, and the forwards who climb the city are the most dangerous. However, compared with this kind of danger, speaking before the chief officer is more like an act of suicide. Cheng Wenzheng's expression changed instantly.

Daxia attaches great importance to etiquette, especially for military generals. If this situation is not dealt with, the generals will definitely take advantage of it in the future. Although Cheng Wenzheng also wanted to end the war as soon as possible, he did not want his direct grandson to be unable to suppress the generals.

Just when he was about to shout out, Cheng Jinzhou said in a low voice: "Come here, drag him down and beat him with 40 military sticks."

He has aristocratic habits and puts maintaining decorum and respectability first. What he wants to say can only be said after the fight is over.

Such a vigorous and resolute approach was in line with the tradition of the army. The generals watched with peace of mind as the soldiers in front of the camp rushed forward ferociously and then took off their pants. Each of the soldiers was as eager as a sailor who had not been ashore for two years.

After finishing the beating with a string of military sticks, Cheng Jinzhou waved to him to come over and stand, and then he said to everyone: "I'm calling you here today. I want you to look at three names and then think of a solution."

He said, ignoring the deputy general, and took out the list and said: "The following three people must be captured after the city is broken. This is the first achievement of this battle."

A group of generals looked at each other.

The first meritorious service is not as simple as talking about it. In such an important military meeting, there is only one so-called first meritorious service - first meritorious service. When rewards are awarded after the war, whether it is a title, an official title, or a title, at least one of them must be superior to everyone in the battle. Defeating the Northern Han Dynasty was a feat that destroyed the country and could protect the country for thousands of years. In other words, it was possible for the first achievement in this battle to be rewarded with a duke.

Thinking of this, many people want to stay.

Cheng Wenzheng gestured and cupped his hands, and after all the superficial effort, he said, "I wonder what's so special about these three people?"

"He is the leader of the heretics." Cheng Jinzhou said: "Grandpa, please plan your strategy for this battle. You must be absolutely sure to capture the three of them."

"Whether you live or die?"

Cheng Jinzhou gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care whether I live or die."

He actually wanted to live, so that he could be tortured, but considering that the success rate was more important, he gave up the idea.

Even if there is a high reward, it is still difficult to get everyone's enthusiasm to work in the right place. Cheng Wenzheng thought for a moment, then turned to the others and said, "What do you think?"

The beaten lieutenant grinned, but a smile appeared on his face. He just wanted to start a war, and when his goal was achieved, forty military sticks didn't matter.

The generals talked a lot, and for a while they had no good suggestions. Someone simply said: "It is better to increase the number of troops and surround Hanjing."

"How many people can surround us?" Cheng Jinzhou paused for a moment and then said: "The imperial court's reinforcements are on the way. There are 50,000 people. Is it enough?"

Cheng Wenzheng coughed and said, "It should be more than 50,000."

"oh?"

"It seems that the Holy Church has come forward and has recruited another 30,000 troops and 1,000 Star Warriors. Taken together, there should be 80,000 soldiers, and more than 100,000 civilians are still on the way."

This was a quick victory in the war, otherwise just to provide food and supplies for 200,000 people would have required five times that number. If you think about the horror of a million-strong army, especially the materials and wealth it consumed, you can understand why Daxia has always been on the defensive against the Northern Han Dynasty.

To the princes of the imperial court, the Northern Han Dynasty was the legendary tasteless food, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard.

When he heard that there were 80,000 troops, Cheng Jinzhou laughed and cursed, "How stingy."

This is the side effect of that bloody flag. 1,000 Star Warriors are quite a fighting force. In a country like Beihan where Star Warriors are the main force, they would be one-third to one-quarter of the strength.

"An additional thirty thousand seems to be insufficient for a big city like Hanking."

As soon as someone else said something, the deputy general who was beaten just now said: "Let's dig the soil around the outside of the city."

"How to do it?" Cheng Jinzhou immediately turned his head.

"Conquer 300,000 masters, dig a trench five miles away from the city, and then build a fortification wall. It will be foolproof, but..." The man said something, then paused and continued: "It is rare for our army to win completely."

Han Weiduan shouted: "Jiang Liang, how dare you disturb the morale of the army."

He doesn't understand military matters, but his mind is always spinning, just wanting to add a sentence or two to show his presence.

"It's okay." Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand and said, "Tell me how to win completely."

He also knew in his heart that in the current state, it would be very risky for the army to invade Hanjing. If the border crossers ignored the cost, they could buy any strange weapons. If Taiyu or Huimin Renxing Warlock is accidentally killed, the good situation will be reversed.

Jiang Liang's butt hurt as if he was being abused, and he muttered: "From the current point of view, it takes a fourth-level star warlock to stabilize the situation."

Cheng Jinzhou said "Huh", he didn't know how powerful the fourth-level star warlock was. When there were five fourth-level star warlocks around him, he did not consider the resistance of the Northern Han Dynasty at all. At that time, he was only thinking about how to ensure that the border crosser was caught - based on his experience of wantonly abusing the little emperor in Han Jing that day. Look, he didn't even need the help of internal agents. In fact, he didn't even think about using internal agents at that time.

Now, he has almost exhausted his options.

"Let me take a look at the matter of the fourth-level star warlock." He said and looked at Cheng Wenzheng: "Grandpa..."

"We will organize the trenches now." Cheng Wenzheng said without hesitation.

"Okay." Cheng Jinzhou gently cupped his hands and said solemnly to everyone: "This matter is important, everyone must cooperate sincerely. I will definitely give you clear rewards and punishments."

The generals agreed with a roar.

Cheng Jinzhou looked back with enjoyment. Such a beautiful scene could only be seen in storytelling books in the past. Now that I have a real person performing for me, it feels really good.

Yisu climbed a few steps behind him, reached his shoulders, clasped his collar with his claws, and said, "Are you really afraid of border crossers?"

"Nonsense." Cheng Jinzhou muttered: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. I didn't touch him before because I wasn't ready."

"I think this border crosser is quite stupid. You can't do anything about the new customer service now. What if he changes to a smarter border crosser?" Yisu's observation angle is indeed completely different from Dr. Cheng Da's.

"Is it so easy for border crossers to appear?" Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows. As far as the Covenant is concerned, agent resistance is like pine tar on a wild boar, not always effective.

The koala showed a mouse-like smile, slightly embarrassed, and stuttered: "You have a detector, of course it is not that easy. In addition, after the Covenant level 6, you can usually be protected. Now it seems... …”

"It's easier for me to reach Star Alliance level 6, right?" Cheng Jinzhou twitched his lips proudly. 100,000 books is a bit difficult, but if he doesn't care about the cost, he can handle it with his current financial resources.

Ys shook his newly replaced tail and said disdainfully: "You're just lucky, you landed on a rich planet with a poor civilization."

…

The occupying troops from Daxia began earthworks.

Five miles away from the city means that the length of the excavation has increased by 5 kilometers, and the four sides have to increase by 20 kilometers. In order to complete the project on schedule, the occupying forces began to recruit migrant workers aggressively.

Of course, in a state of war, apart from taking care of food, very few of the migrant workers recruited received a salary.

However, what surprised Cheng Jinzhou was that there were actually people who knew there would be no salary but still had the resources to apply, just because they had enough to eat.

Yisu hooked his hind paws on Cheng Jinzhou's lapel and said while doing sit-ups: "There are really so many people."

"You rarely see people like this." Cheng Jinzhou glanced at the round-bellied koala with disdain. He didn't believe that sit-ups were useful for such a creature.

Yisu still struggled hard and said at the same time: "If I have 400,000 people, I don't know how much I can accomplish."

"If you have 400,000 worth of useless wood, it will be set on fire." Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows, took the detector out of his arms, and then gently input star power into it.

On the simple detector, you can see the flashing lights of various colors. Based on the color and direction, you can roughly determine the location of the border crosser.

After confirming that the target had not moved, Cheng Jinzhou felt relieved and began to contact Xia Jing Holy Church continuously.

He was 60% sure that he trusted Father Li Zhong, so he hoped that through him, he could solve the omissions of the Northern Han Dynasty in the development of star warlocks, especially the invasion of pagans, and wanted to make it a major event and report it.

On the other hand, he is also constantly looking for Bishop Kant.

There are many perverted young people, middle-aged people and old people, but it is rare to have such a combination of talents as Bishop Kant. The most important thing is his powerful star formation. Even without flying, it will cause big trouble to all high-level star warlocks.

Cheng Jinzhou was determined that if he could find Bishop Kant, the war would be over.

After waiting like this, it took more than half a month.

During this period, Daxia's army was not only busy digging trenches, but also fighting the Northern Han army in the city, making sure to make them even more tired.

Since the battlefield is no longer fierce, the survival rate of the soldiers has also been greatly improved, but there has never been another fourth-level star warlock, which makes many people feel uneasy.

The boring battlefield life gradually took over Cheng Jinzhou's entire life, until a letter of celebration came from the association: "Congratulations on your book "The Strength of the Pendulum" being selected in the "Journal of the World"..."

"Journal of the World" is a subsidiary organization of the Astromancers Association. It is also a famous excerpted journal. Compared with those original journals, the excerpted journals seem to have a wider readership. Among the excerpts sent together, there were two other articles written by De'an star warlocks.

Based on this, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but wonder, could the association stop banning him and the De'an Star Warlock?

Are they going to surrender?
