After the immortal disappeared

He Lingchuan said sternly, "The troops in your hands have been reorganized. With so many elite soldiers newly added, and seven or eight powerful tribes such as Luodian and Longye, who don't need to be trained, can go into battle directly. The speed of attacking strongholds should be 30% faster than it is now!"

"Zhongli Zheng besieged Juxia City a month ago, and it took him 23 days to defeat it, because the stones for the walls in the city were used up. Otherwise, while you were fighting, they were rushing to build the walls, and we might not have been able to capture it until now." He Lingchuan pointed to the sand table and explained the Juxia battle casually, "What's the problem? On the fifth day of the siege, you actually let the Juxia soldiers go out to harvest the autumn grain! Before that, they were in a panic and almost surrendered; after that, they thought that the Black Armor Army would also be negligent and make mistakes, as if it was no big deal and they could still handle it. On the battlefield, the offense and defense can change, and the victory and defeat can be reversed, maybe in just a moment. If you don't seize this turning point, you will have to pay more time and more lives!"

Zhongli Zheng’s head almost dropped to the table.

The generals also listened in silence, not daring to breathe.

In fact, He Lingchuan also knew where the crux of the problem lay. It was just as the saying goes, it is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is hard to get a good general. What is more difficult than a strong army is a strong general!

In this massive Dragon God War, rising stars have emerged one after another in the tempering of the battlefield. But it is not enough. Compared with the scale of the war, the number of talented generals is far from enough!

This shortcoming was particularly prominent when it came to overcoming difficulties. If He Lingchuan had personally taken charge of the battle of Juxia City, he would have been confident that he could have taken it down within two days.

But he was unable to cope with all the tasks at hand, and this war was not just his own.

He also analyzed the targets that the two teams were about to attack. The generals hurriedly lowered their heads to take notes, more attentively than the students listening to Master Sun's class.

After he finished speaking, he took a sip of water from the cup and asked, "Regarding the big problem of slow progress in the transition phase, do you have any solutions? In other words, even if the large-scale military training ends and the second phase begins, this problem will still exist."

Everyone was silent.

As long as the root cause is still there, it will be difficult to resolve the problem, right?

But after a few breaths, someone spoke up: "Perhaps, we need a global or iconic victory."

Everyone turned around and found that the person who spoke was Qu Ruhai.

He and some Luodian people were incorporated into Lu Yaofei's main team, and made great contributions along the way.

He Lingchuan tapped his fingers on the table twice: "Global? How do you say that?"

"The first phase of the Dragon God War was unstoppable and progressed faster than expected because many forces surrendered and did not resist. On the one hand, they were intimidated by the Dragon God's majesty, and on the other hand, it was because of the symbolic victory in the first phase. When they heard the news, they felt hopeless and surrendered."

The "iconic" victory in the first phase? He Lingchuan raised his lips slightly, knowing that Qu Ruhai was talking about the battles he had fought in Luodian.

In less than a month, Luodian was destroyed. This news really shocked the Golden Plains and made many tribes around Luodian surrender and no longer have the heart to resist.

Qu Ruhai is worthy of being the former Zuo Zongchang of Luodian. He stands high and sees far. He not only has rich combat experience, but also has a holistic perspective on war.

He Lingchuan crossed his fingers and placed them on the table: "Go on."

"During the transition phase of the Dragon God War, our army's shortcomings may also be covered up in this way." Qu Ruhai pointed at the sand table, "In the Shining Gold Plain, there are only two places we have never touched. One is where the front Yao is, and the other is here--"

There was indeed no flag at that location on the sand table.

"——Allied territory."

"The Lord has his own reasons for not including the allied territory in the attack range." Tao Ran shook his head. "Besides, our territory is full of war and we are busy suppressing the enemies everywhere. Why should we attack the allied forces that have never provoked us?"

"Who knows what we are capable of if we fight those small fish and shrimps? It's a thankless task!" Qu Ruhai said in a rough voice, "If we want to fight, we should fight the big ones, so that we can establish our authority!"

He continued, "Right now, everyone in the Golden Plains is watching the Dragon God Army's actions! The Allied Forces have a large territory, a great reputation, and a great influence, but we are taking a detour. The Golden Plains people don't care about our difficulties at all. They just think that the Dragon God Army is not sure of annexing the Allied Forces, so they dare not take action."

Qu Ruhai knew Shanjin's character very well. People here only believed in the law of the jungle.

You don't hit him just because you are not strong enough.

"If we can defeat the allied forces as quickly as we did in the first phase of the war, the other forces that are still resisting will realize that they are just doing useless work!" The strength of the allied forces headed by the Situ family is considered quite good in the central and western parts of Shanjin. After all, it is a coalition of multiple countries and forces.

No other place has more power than it.

Qu Ruhai's eyes were sharp: "The key is that with our strength, it would be easy and pleasant to defeat the allied forces, so why not fight?"

Emperor Jiuyou may be unable to cope with the other forces, but he can certainly attack the Allied forces.

This style of play is all about playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses.

He Lingchuan felt somewhat relieved: "Well said. So how do you think we can defeat the Allied Forces?"

Qu Ruhai said without hesitation: "Attack Situ He first, capture the leader of the allied forces, break up the allies and then defeat them one by one."

Lu Yaofei disagreed: "The Allied Forces are very friendly to the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, and Yangshan has a good relationship with the locals. After the news of the Dragon God Army sweeping across Shanjin spread, Situ He went against the majority opinion and did not attack the people of Yangshan in the territory. He acted kindly. If we suddenly attack the Allied Forces, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid there will be some moral deficiencies.

After all, the Allied Forces are different from other regional forces, and they have always maintained a positive interaction with Yang Shan.

The allied forces had been fighting a war against Bisha for two years. Internal conflicts kept popping up one after another, and Situ He was overwhelmed and exhausted to maintain such a situation.

The Dragon God Army is more than ten times larger than the Allied Forces, so it should have more troubles and conflicts. If the war progresses as smoothly as in the first phase, no matter how many conflicts there are, they can be temporarily covered up.

If that doesn’t work…
