The Bitter Meat Scheme

In the days that followed, Su Leng practiced the "Five Qi Chaoyuan Breathing Method" every day, slowly increasing and strengthening his attributes. At the same time, from time to time he would put down the prince's airs and go deep into the "grassroots" to mingle with the soldiers of the Vulcan Army.

, learn from each other and draw fighting experience from these soldiers.

At the same time, during the war in the Tinder Kingdom, he frequently showed amazing predictions based on his ability of "self-knowledge", and then used the test method to ask the counselors and soldiers in the military camp how to deal with the situation.

With his accurate prediction of the Tinder Kingdom's actions ahead of him, the counselors and soldiers in the Vulcan Camp naturally did not doubt his presence. They acted like themselves and gave their own answers. They had never thought about the "God of War" in their eyes.

, in fact, he doesn’t know how to lead troops in war.

In this way, with an absolute information gap, coupled with the countermeasures "begged" from the counselors and generals of the Vulcan Army, facing the invasion of the Tinder Kingdom, the Vulcan Army can solve almost every battle

Victory was achieved with minimal casualties, and the invading barbarians from the Tinder Kingdom were defeated steadily.

And the good news one after another continued to reach the capital, and the people's hearts were greatly encouraged!

The situation that was originally plagued by internal and external troubles has gradually become stable.

In the "Vulcan Army", Su Leng's reputation continued to grow. His reputation as "Military God" started from the northern border and radiated throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. His contribution was also written down by Chen Kuizong, the general of Zhenbei.

Sent back to Beijing.

However, although a large number of rewards were shipped out for every victory in the capital and sent to the north, the soldiers in the Vulcan Army discovered that among these rewards, the reward for Su Ling could not be said to be absent, but it was extremely undeserving.

Those glorious achievements!

In every battle, correct command saves the lives of countless soldiers.

In addition, Su Leng never had the airs of a prince, and from time to time he would mingle with the rough soldiers and generals to compete in martial arts.

With such life-saving kindness and closeness to the people, Su Leng has already won the recognition of most of the soldiers and generals in the "Vulcan Army". As he continued to perform without reward, the soldiers and generals gradually began to sympathize with him and began to complain about him.

However, Su Ling never fanned the flames of the grievances against him by the soldiers and generals. Instead, he tried to comfort them, saying that he was well-dressed and well-fed in the palace and did not lack these rewards.

Furthermore, he said that as a descendant of the royal family, he should serve the country and the people as he should, and then copied half a line of poem "Be concerned about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness" to show his magnanimity.

Such integrity immediately impressed all the soldiers and generals of the Vulcan Army once again. While they couldn't help but admire Su Leng even more in their hearts, they also became more and more angry at the unfair reward in the capital.

However, Su Leng had already talked about this, so it was hard for them to say anything else.

Afterwards, under the command of Su Ling, the "Vulcan Army" continued to attack and defeated the Tinder Kingdom barbarians, all the way back from the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the territory of the Tinder Kingdom.

At this point, the invasion crisis of the Tinder Kingdom has been completely resolved.

However, the continuous victories made almost everyone in the "Vulcan Army", including Zhenbei General Chen Kuizong, a little dizzy. After pushing back the tinder country barbarians, they were still not satisfied and actually wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Victory in pursuit, invaded Tinder in one fell swoop, plundering resources, and at the same time avenging the Tinder Kingdom's repeated incursions into the Zhou border!

When he saw that everyone in the Vulcan Army was in high spirits and was already imagining the joy of invading the Tinder Kingdom and plundering supplies, Su Leng knew that the turning point in his ambition to become emperor had finally come!

Vulcan Army, inside the camp.

Chen Kuizong and his generals and counselors were drinking and discussing how to invade the Tinder Kingdom.

Su Ling sat in the crowd, pretending to frown, listening to the discussion.

When asked by Chen Kuizong what he thought about the invasion of the Huorong Kingdom, Su Leng replied hesitantly: "I think this matter should not be taken too hastily. It needs to be considered in the long term. Although Huorong is a country, it is composed of tribes. Now, although they are gradually

They retreated, but the main reason was their internal discord. Some tribes wanted to plunder resources from our great Zhou Dynasty, while some wanted to slowly develop within the borders of the country."

"Although they all came to invade our country in the end, it must have been the result of the minority obeying the majority. Many of the tribes who wanted to develop slowly within the country were unable to work in this war. This allowed our army to

Continuous victories. However, once our army invades Huorong and plunders the resources within its territory, it will inevitably arouse the ferocity of those non-war tribes, and they may receive a very strong counterattack."

Su Ling expressed his worries.

But after Chen Kuizong and others heard this, they laughed and said: "In the past three months, the Tinder Barbarians have been defeated one after another. They have lost troops and generals, and their morale has been greatly damaged. They are at the end of the road. What can we do with a violent counterattack? Your Highness is worrying too much."

Su Ling frowned, then smiled and said, "I hope I'm worrying too much."

He made no further objections.

Afterwards, after Chen Kuizong and other soldiers completed their discussion, they immediately mobilized their troops and horses and began the invasion of the Huorong Kingdom.

Because they were taking the initiative to plunder, there was no need to talk about any strategy. Therefore, Su Leng, the "god of war", was left in the base camp.

Three days later at noon.

Su Ling was in his tent in the military camp, focusing on practicing breathing techniques.

Suddenly, a text message suddenly appeared in his mind.

[The Vulcan Army led by Chen Kuizong invaded the Tinder Kingdom and burned and robbed the local area. This aroused the ferocity of the non-war tribes in the Tinder Kingdom. The uncivilized barbarians harbored evil in their hearts. The Tinder Kingdom began to unite and fight back fiercely.

The Vulcan Army invasion force led by Chen Kuizong was trapped in a bitter battle. In addition, in order to retaliate, the Huorong Kingdom also organized a secret cavalry named "Hungry Wolf" to detour from Daling Mountain and attack Shourong City tonight, burning and killing them.

, this move will cut off the Vulcan Army’s food and grass supplies...]

The supply of food and grass is related to himself, and the feedback of [self-omniscient] appeared in Su Ling's mind unsurprisingly.

Su Leng, who was originally discussing with the soldiers in the Vulcan Army's base camp, suddenly stopped and said, "Today I suddenly want to visit Shoutong City. Is there any of you willing to accompany me?"

Shourong City is the closest city in the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Huorong Kingdom.

From the name "Shou Rong" we can see the importance of this city. The Vulcan Army's ability to guard the northern border depends entirely on this city's regular supply of food and grass.

On weekdays, Shourong City is heavily guarded, but now, because they want to invade the Huorong Kingdom, the military camp does not have enough strength to stay, so they have transferred part of Shourong City's troops to the military camp.

The tribes in the Tinder Kingdom originally had different opinions within themselves. Some tribes were passive and ineffective in their work, so they did not reflect the strength of the barbarians in the Tinder Kingdom.

But now, Chen Kuizong led the Vulcan Army to invade and plunder, and the ferocity of these barbarians was suddenly aroused!

The lower the cognition of people, the more evil they take for granted.

These uncivilized and uneducated barbarians from the Tinder Kingdom have been invading the borders of the Zhou Dynasty all year round to plunder. They don't think it's anything, and they even take it for granted.

But now, after their tribal homeland was plundered, they instantly hated the Zhou Dynasty to the extreme!

Daling Mountain is a large mountain that straddles the border between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Tinder Kingdom. It is so tall and steep that it is difficult for ordinary people to climb over it. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

But now, in order to retaliate in kind, the Tinder Kingdom would risk their own lives to climb over this mountain to attack Shourong City. This shows the depth of their hatred!

Su Leng combined the temperament of the barbarians in the Tinder Kingdom and roughly deduced the current outcome of the situation between the two parties.

But he deliberately didn't say it, just to completely turn the Vulcan Army into his own army!

All the previous behaviors only made the Vulcan Army get close to him, respect and admire him, but there was still a gap between the two sides.

There is only one reason: his position is too high.

Prince Zhou!

The ingenious military god!

No matter which identity you have, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Although he has repeatedly demonstrated his pro-people attitude and penetrated deeply into the "grassroots" of the Vulcan Army, it is difficult to eliminate the class gap between the two sides.

Therefore, he needs to break this class barrier.

And living and dying together, sacrificing oneself for others, is undoubtedly the most effective way!

Of course, he didn't really want to sacrifice himself for others, it was just a ploy to sacrifice himself.

"Your Highness wants to visit Shourong City? Well, I'll accompany Your Highness!"

When they heard that Su Leng suddenly wanted to visit Shourong City, some soldiers raised their hands, either in agreement or in a flattering manner, expressing their willingness to accompany Su Ling.

Su Leng didn't care what the purpose of these people was, he immediately selected some of the most powerful soldiers from them to fight with each other, and went to Shourong City together.

And after they went to Shourong City.

That night, outside Shourong City, wildfires broke out and shouts of killing continued.

…

Two days later.

Chen Kuizong, who finally escaped from the siege of the tribes of the Tinder Kingdom, returned to the camp with heavy casualties and an exhausted army.

He deeply regretted not listening to Su Leng's words. After returning to the camp, he immediately received the news that Shourong City had been attacked.

"What?!"

In the camp, Chen Kuizong, who had just taken off his armor, looked at the soldiers in front of him in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Shou Rong City was attacked the day before yesterday. His Highness Thirteenth Prince happened to bring a team there that day and defended the city with all his strength.

You protected part of our army’s food and grass, and now you don’t know whether you are alive or dead?!”

"yes!"

The soldier who reported the news responded.

After receiving the confirmation, Chen Kuizong suddenly felt infinite regret in his heart and said anxiously: "Where is Your Highness now? Take me there quickly!"

When the soldiers came to the camp where Su Ling was staying, and looked at Su Ling who was almost completely wrapped in fine cloth on the couch, and the clothes and fine cloth on his body were stained red with blood, and he fell into a coma and did not know whether he was alive or dead, Chen Kuizong instantly burst into tears.

He threw himself in front of Su Leng's window and cried: "Your Highness! I shouldn't have gone my own way and ignored your advice! Not only did the Vulcan Army lose its troops, but also caused you to encounter such a catastrophe, I cannot absolve myself of the blame for your death."

!”

Endless guilt and regret filled Chen Kuizong's heart.

At the same time, he was thankful that His Highness Thirteenth Prince happened to be in the city when Shourong City was attacked. Thanks to His Highness's command, Shourong City was not destroyed in the end, and the Vulcan Army did not have to run out of food.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to see his elders in his hometown again.

"Your Highness Thirteenth, from now on, everyone in the 'Vulcan Army' owes you their life!"

Looking at Su Leng on the couch, Chen Kuizong murmured.

From this day on, the "Vulcan Army" guarding the northern border owes a person a debt of gratitude, a debt of gratitude that cannot be repaid no matter what.
