A land is neither big nor small.

But the action of hundreds of thousands of troops is by no means a trivial matter.

Since ancient times, there have been many generals but few generals. Those who can send out hundreds of thousands of soldiers are Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Those who can send out millions of soldiers are Han Xin and Bai Qi.

Generally, a general can only command ten thousand households. If he leads too many troops, he will definitely lose his army and be defeated.

In terms of marching and mobilizing, if you make one mistake, everything will be lost.

Wu Nian knew little about state affairs, relying entirely on Liu Zhixing to support him, but he was very talented in the military, self-taught, and assisted by many outstanding staff and officials.

He led hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the Northern Expedition, which was quite orderly and stable.

He walked for three days from Haitian to Anding, but he still hadn't finished the journey.

In addition to striving for stability, it is also because of the hot summer weather. Soldiers, mules and horses all need a fixed time to rest and replenish water.

Morning of the fourth day.

Hundreds of thousands of troops lined up in a long dragon formation and continued towards Anding City.

The vanguard guard in the front was at least thirty miles away from the rear army. The flags were connected, covering the sky and the sun. The dust was raised like yellow smoke.

There was an endless stream of spies coming and going. All the disturbances in Huanglong Mansion could not escape the eyes and ears of the spies. There were no secrets between the enemy and our troops.

Wu Nian led Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng was in the middle.

He did not ride a horse, but sat in a chariot. It was an "open" carriage, without a carriage, and a large umbrella was erected to block the sun and prevent wind from all sides.

Surrounding the king were dozens of armored and sweaty Ouchi guards, armed with spears.

Although it is morning, the temperature is not low.

Wu Nian raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was better to fight in autumn, winter and spring. It was hard to say whether to fight in summer.

But the fighter jets showed up.

There is no way.

"Drive!!!!!" Wu Nian suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves, raised his head and looked ahead, and saw Wang Gui leading dozens of horsemen galloping towards him.

After arriving near Wang Jia, Wang Gui turned his horse's head and rode it on the left side with Wang Jia. Wang Gui clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, the scouting horse came to report. Chunyuan led his troops out of the city to garrison the black soil plums."

Before there is a real decisive battle, everything is possible.

What if Chunyuan summoned ten thousand households to return to Anding City in order to return to Meng Yuan?

Now that Chunyuan has left the city and stationed troops on the ground, this is a strong signal.

If you want to fight, I will fight.

The acting prince of Meng Yuan has made up his mind.

"Map." Wu Nian felt happy, then raised his head and said to the officials who followed him.

"Yes." The official responded, and while riding his horse, he took out a cloth bag from the back of the horse, took out the rolled up map, and handed it to Wu Nian respectfully.

Wu Nian spread the map on the carriage and bent down to look at it.

He pointed at the place called Heituli, raised his head and said to Wang Gui: "It's a good place. It has a wide view. If the view is good on the day of the decisive battle, there will be no secrets in the mobilization of troops and horses on both sides."

"At that time, what we will fight for is strength and fighting will. In terms of tactics, it will not have much effect."

"Yes." Wang Gui had the same idea as Wu Nian and nodded.

Wu Nian nodded and lowered his head to look at the map again. Chunyuan had already chosen the place for the decisive battle, and he also had to choose a place to station his troops.

After repeated calculations, Wu Nian pointed to a point on the map and said: "Send the order to the army, we will camp in Zhangkang."

"In the main camp of the Chinese army, an earthen platform was erected. The people should sit high on the earthen platform and watch the decisive battle."

Zhang Kang and Heitu Li were right next to each other, and when they fought, they were in the open space between the two camps.

A tall earth platform was erected to provide a panoramic view of the battlefield conditions.

"Yes." Wang Gui responded and turned around.

Although the order was conveyed, the army marched slowly and in an orderly manner. After several rest breaks, the army did not reach Zhangkang until the afternoon.

With the exception of Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng's Ouchi bodyguard, the military camps of the eleven thousand-household armies are not connected to each other.

They are scattered like little bits and pieces, each doing its own thing.

Arranging one's own camps according to the terrain and the layout of the enemy's army was a test of the ability of one's own commander. Wu Nian did not act arbitrarily, but consulted with the generals before deciding on the camps of each army.

Among them, the central army is naturally surrounded by stars and the moon, occupying the central position.

The big tent was erected first. Although Wu Nian rode in a car, it was no better than riding a horse. He was both physically and mentally tired. The decisive battle was imminent and he had to recharge his batteries.

As the leader of a country, Wu Nian would not go into battle easily.

But if the critical moment comes, he will not be stingy with this body.

Die in the mountains and rivers, sacrifice your body to become a benevolent person.

Wu Nian took off his clothes and planned to go to the back tent to have a rest. He asked the Ouchi guard to hold a cattail leaf fan to fan himself.

It was a hot summer day, and there were no windows in the big tent, so it was very hot with no one to fan the room.

Wu Nian had just laid down, and the imperial guards had just entered the state with cattail leaf fans. Wang Gui walked in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, Wanhu Jin Xuanyun led thousands of cavalry to the front of the army to challenge."

The two countries are at war.

From the emperor to the generals and ministers, who doesn’t know who?

Jin Xuanyun is even more hateful than people like Wan Yanxian. His attitude towards the Han people is like that of a pig or a dog, taking life and death from them.

Rumor has it that he has eaten people.

Wu Nian immediately sat up. After thinking for a while, his eyes flashed with brilliance and he said to Wang Gui: "Isn't this guy Feng Chong always complaining that he has made great contributions but can only be reduced to being a prince?"

"Even Wei Ru's nephew Wei Polu can get the title of Marquis of a county."

"Often indignant."

"Now I give him a chance. If I can kill Jin Xuanyun, I will make him the Duke of the country. His status is only lower than that of Liu Zhixing and Li Yong."

Feng Chong doesn't get along well with most of his colleagues.

He seems to be an aloof little boy who dislikes everyone.

Both Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng have a bad relationship with him. But Wang Gui has a calmer personality and can be regarded as so-so. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty arranged it well. This kid must have been given the blood of a chicken after receiving your Majesty's imperial edict.

Fight hard to kill the enemy."

"The chance of winning is greater than others."

"If he can't win, then he can't complain. He's just a prince."

Wu Nian also laughed, nodded, and said, "Send someone quickly."

"Yes." Wang Gui bent down and responded, then quickly turned around and left.

Wu Nian didn't waste any time and asked the Ouchi guards to come in and put on the armor for him. It was such a hot day and it was afternoon, and when he put on the armor, he immediately felt suffocated.

Wu Nian took a deep breath, calmed himself, walked out of the tent with a high head, got on his horse, led five horsemen from a hundred families, left the Chinese army camp, and rushed to the front line.

A decisive battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops fighting.

It cannot be judged accurately by humans.

When Wu Nian arrived in Zhangkang and settled in the fields, the army had to rest for three days to recharge their batteries.

There will also be a series of trials on both sides.

The climax of the decisive battle is when a tacit understanding is reached.

This is the first trial.
