Girl, there's something wrong with you

After listening to Cheng Jinyang's narration, Wang Wanrou pondered for a moment and said:

"The Western Front is not feasible. It is easy to conquer Hanzhong, but it is difficult to conquer Guanzhong."

"And Longyou is the boundary between Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Qingxu. The two sides have reached a delicate balance of power here."

"If you capture Guanzhong, the demons under Emperor Qingxu will definitely take the opportunity to invade through the Hexi Corridor, and the situation will become increasingly chaotic and uncontrollable."

"That's right." Cheng Jinyang nodded and said, "So I don't plan to go to the Western Front. I just plan to deploy troops on the Jinniu, Micang, and Yangba routes, and frequently patrol and spy on Hanzhong with drones to create the illusion that Hanzhong is about to be captured."

"Wanrou, what about the central and eastern lines?"

"The problem on the Eastern Front is that even if I don't tell it, your shogunate should be able to see it." Wang Wanrou continued, "The Central Plains is a place of four battles. It is easy to attack but difficult to defend."

"If you want to take the eastern route to capture Heluo, you must take advantage of the fact that the puppets cannot cross the water. Let the navy enter the four major river systems of Ru, Ying, Guo, and Bian from the Huaihe River. Use the rivers as a barrier and bombard the puppets on both sides. Then a large number of troops were sent north to capture Ruzhou, Kaifeng, Xuchang and other places in preparation for the march to Luoyang."

"However, regardless of the navy, looking at the comparison of the army's strength alone, the demon side far suppressed our side with the number of puppets. This resulted in the important towns along the river on the march route, such as Shangqiu, Huaiyang, Guoyang, Ruyang, etc. Once captured, it is extremely difficult to defend and can easily lead to a constant tug-of-war.”

"And if we don't defend, we will go deep alone." Cheng Jinyang echoed, "The most fearful thing is that our retreat will be cut off."

"If you send troops to march into Heluo, the demons of Nanyang will definitely make strange moves." Wang Wanrou said leisurely, "From Nanyang to the Central Plains, there are many narrow passes between the mountains, such as the door opening, and there is a square city summer road to walk on."

"If I were Lord Lingguang, I would wait for you to send troops to attack Heluo, and immediately send troops from Nanyang to the east, and seize many important towns along the Huaihe River such as Shouchun, Zhongli, Xuyi, Huai'an..."

"I know." Cheng Jinyang analyzed and said, "It's okay to say that Huai'an is controlled by the Xiaoqi Army. Zhongli, Xuyi, and Huai'an are all occupied by the Central Plains refugee army. It will be easy for the Lord Lingguang to take these places."

"Once the Huaihe River defense line is broken, the supply line from the Yangtze River to the Huaihe River will be blocked, and the army in the Heluo area will be trapped in a situation where two sides are attacking."

He suddenly stopped talking because he noticed that Miss Wang was smiling and looking at him with a strange look.

Cheng Jinyang subconsciously thought that what he said was wrong, because Miss Wang's smile usually appeared when her anger reached its peak, and it was a kind of disguise and suppression that was about to explode.

However, he reacted quickly.

The smile that appeared on Wang Wanrou's face at this time did not have any hidden chill, but was full of warmth of appreciation and joy.

It seems that I haven't seen such a smile for a long time...

By the way, I still remember that many years ago, when I was in the Jinling Library in Jiankang, I studied historical records with Miss Wang.

At that time, Miss Wang once asked herself what she thought of "The Chronicles of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty", and she replied, "To be a king, you must do whatever it takes." Then Miss Wang showed a similar smile.

As if in the ice and snow, flowers suddenly bloomed all over the field with a beautiful smile.

"It seems I was right." Cheng Jinyang also raised his lips.

"It's actually very simple, right?" Wang Wanrou asked with a smile.

"It's never been difficult." Cheng Jinyang said proudly.

"You're bragging." Wang Wanrou snorted from her nose.

"It's all because my wife gave me wisdom and courage." Cheng Jinyang immediately smiled.

The two continued to discuss and soon decided on a strategy:

To capture Heluo, it is best to march through the Jianghuai River; to conquer the Jianghuai River, Nanyang must be pacified first to avoid getting sick in the elbows and armpits.

"However, although the strategy is good, it is not foolproof." Wang Wanrou concluded in the end, "If you want to use military tactics to defeat the weak with the strong, in the final analysis, you must have the foundation to defeat the strong."

"You and I are only at the second level now. Although we can temporarily rise to the first level through connection, we are still no match for Xie Guyan, who has the Emperor's Spark."

"One force can defeat ten guilds. If you can't win on the frontal battlefield, then it's useless to do your best in other aspects."

"Everyone must rise to the first level as soon as possible in order to have the strength to face off against Xie Guyan on the frontal battlefield."

"It's just that at the current speed." Cheng Jinyang whispered, "It will take three months to reach the first level. Mother must be able to calculate this and may not give us such time."

"She will." Wang Wanrou said without hesitation.

"Why?" Cheng Jinyang was puzzled.

He noticed that there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between Miss Wang and his mother that needed no explanation, so that Miss Wang could often "predict" his mother's thoughts from afar, and every word was accurate.

"If you really want to use the strong to bully the weak, she will crush you directly while she can still crush us." Wang Wanrou said calmly.

Cheng Jinyang:………………

Indeed, Murong Shu also said the same.

If he really wanted to use whatever means necessary, he would use all his strength to attack Jin Dynasty southward and capture all his wife and clan members. What other choice could he make?

"If it's a pure road fight, then just do whatever it takes. The only explanation is that there are indeed other factors of family affection mixed in." Wang Wanrou whispered, "She doesn't want to follow her own path, but she hopes more. You can inherit her will and walk this path for her."

"Is this the way for humans and monsters to coexist?" Cheng Jinyang was also a little confused.

"Yeah." Wang Wanrou nodded and said, "Didn't you notice?"

"Whether it is researching potions that allow humans and demons to transform into each other, or trying to let demons use human technology, they are actually looking for ways to unite the two races into one."

"And the true unity of the two races is your existence itself. What can be more proof of the feasibility of the unity of the two races than your existence?"

Cheng Jinyang was silent for a long time.

"Indeed." He smiled again, "The only difference between us is whether we should use her way to realize one of the two races, or my way."

"As long as this goal can be achieved, what does it matter who wins and who loses?" Wang Wanrou smiled slightly, "For parents, success for themselves and success for their children are just different joys, but both are enough to make them happy. People are intoxicated with contentment.”

After Miss Wang's advice, Cheng Jinyang finally strengthened his final confidence.

As long as I have a decisive battle with my mother in the Central Plains, I can clean up the old mountains and rivers, stop the war, and rebuild the bright world!

Cheng Jinyang and Miss Wang said goodbye and walked towards the military camp with great ambition.

At this time, he already knew how to arrange the subsequent strategy.

Then he saw Luling standing at the entrance of the military camp, anxiously talking to his sister, looking as if tears were about to fall.

Nankang comforted her in a low voice, and then hugged her into his arms to calm his sister down.

Cheng Jinyang:?

I have a bad feeling for no reason.
