Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 131 The first one to enter the imperial mausoleum will be the king. Who is the jackal?
Dusk is like blood!
The setting sun in the sky poured down like molten gold, dyeing the earth with a tragic orange-red.

Jingyang City was already vaguely in sight, only fifty miles away and within reach.

now!
The 400,000 cavalry under the command of the two major forces of Qianyuan and Hexi were like rivers converging into the sea, mighty and galloping without stopping, their momentum shaking the earth.

The battle flags in the army flutter, red like flames!
Suddenly!
A majestic military order sounded, and the flag officers reined in their horses. The sound of the order spread rapidly:
"Your Majesty has ordered the army to station!"

This order was brief and powerful, and it spread to every corner in an instant. The 400,000-strong army seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand. They stopped advancing in an orderly manner and began to set up camp in a hurry.

Not long!
The camp was brightly lit with torches everywhere. From a distance, it looked like stars falling from the sky, illuminating the entire mountain, which was spectacular.

The army commands the camp!
Two rows of civil and military officials stood in silence, their eyes all focused on the first person wearing a mysterious ghost.

Empress Qianyuan, Wuying.

She slowly raised her head and looked around. Civil officials and military officers were standing on both sides with serious expressions.

The first person on the left is an old man in plain clothes, Gongsun Pingxi!
Behind Gongsun Pingxi, a group of Qianyuan generals and the military chief followed closely with solemn expressions.

The first person on the right is a burly man wearing glittering light armor and a golden sword inlaid with sparkling gems hanging from his waist, which is very eye-catching.

This man had a square face and looked somewhat like Zhou Cheng, but his eyes were deeper and gloomier.

It was the Heavenly King of Hexi, Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan frowned, his eyes full of worry and confusion about the current situation.

He took a step forward and asked urgently to the Qianyuan Empress Wu Ying, who was sitting in the first seat with her face hidden behind the ghost mask:
"Sir, our army's morale is high. It's a great opportunity to defeat the enemy and attack the city. Why are we standing still here? Why don't we seize Jingyang in one fell swoop before the enemy reinforcements arrive?"

"After we conquer Jingyang, we will have no problem going to the capital of Daqing."

"Jingyang is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the follow-up troops arrive, it will be difficult to deal with them."

Zhou Xuan looked at the first person.

With 450,000 troops approaching, people in Jingyang City are in panic and the war is looming. The entire city has been upgraded to the most severe level of combat readiness.

However!
This unstoppable cavalry suddenly chose to remain in place rather than launching a direct siege. This move not only confused the Jingyang defenders, but also relieved them.

Now Jingyang is short of troops!
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. The entire tent was so quiet that the only sound could be heard was the crackling of torches. Everyone was waiting for Wu Ying's decision.

When talking about the Lu family army, everyone knows that its twenty-six generals are all brave and good at fighting.

The nine generals under the command of the Empress Daqian are even more famous. Each of them is a hero who has experienced many battles and is both wise and brave.

For this expedition, the empress selected five of the Nine Elite Generals to accompany her.

Wu Ying did not respond immediately. Behind the mask were a pair of majestic phoenix eyes.

At this time, Gongsun Pingxi stood up at the right time.

"Although what the Heavenly King said makes sense, our army has traveled a long distance and the soldiers are already exhausted."

"If we attack the city rashly now, we may fall into the enemy's trap and be taken advantage of by their rest. It is better for us to rest and recuperate first, and then attack the city tomorrow when morale is high."

Zhou Xuan heard this, but still said unwillingly: "But, the Lu family army and the reinforcements from the Chaos have arrived..."

At this time!
General Qianyuan on the left walked out of the line and echoed Gongsun Pingxi's point of view:

"Master Gongsun is right. Our army is strong and powerful. With 400,000 troops coming west, it is enough to terrify the enemy troops in the city and make them live in fear all day long."

"Don't worry, Heavenly King. We just need to wait patiently. When the enemy's morale is low, our army will launch an attack with a thunderous force and will surely capture the city in one fell swoop."

Gongsun Pingxi also nodded and said, "General Cheng, that makes sense."

Zhou Xuan saw this, his facial expression changed in a complicated way, and finally he suppressed his flushed face. He looked deeply at the empress wearing a ghost mask, with fear in his eyes. In the end, he didn't say anything more, but left the tent silently with a few confidants, and left a sentence before leaving:
"I hope the superior can order the siege as soon as possible tomorrow."

Zhou Xuan opened the curtain and left the camp!
From beginning to end!
The empress said nothing.

Gongsun Pingxi looked at Zhou Xuan's departing back, and a faint smile appeared on his old face, revealing his dark teeth!
"Your Majesty, Zhou Xuan is much more anxious than we expected!"

Wu Ying smiled, and the voice under the ghost mask sounded.

"We four nations have already made an alliance. Whoever enters the imperial mausoleum first will be the king."

"Zhou Xuan is naturally anxious!"

The voice was also pleasant to the ear, but no one dared to ignore it.

One of the reasons why Wu Ying covered her ghost face was that she was a woman, and the second was that her appearance was too delicate.

I often wear the ghost mask because I am afraid that I cannot intimidate the generals!
The Four-Nation Alliance naturally refers to: Qianyuan, Han, Chu, and the four northern countries.

The capital of Daqing was called Chaoling. It was renamed several times before it was finally decided in the early years of Yongxiang.

For the king, whoever enters the imperial mausoleum first can obtain the land of Daqing.

There was also a private agreement between Qianyuan and Zhou Xuan of Hexi.

If Qianyuan can be the first to attack Chaoling, then the position of the lord of Daqing will belong to Zhou Xuan.

At the same time, Qianyuan will also help Zhou Xuan recover the Jiangbei land that he has been longing for.

In exchange, Hexi, where Zhou Xuan is located, will be ceded to Qianyuan.

Seems like a good deal!
Gongsun Pingxi saw Wu Ying staring deeply at the map on the table and couldn't help asking:
"Your Majesty, what are your plans?"

Wu Ying's gaze slowly moved across the three battle lines on the map, and finally stopped at the center of the three lines, Chao Ling. She said in a deep voice:
"Wait!"

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move."

Gongsun Pingxi heard this and couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, how do you think Lu Chen will deal with the situation where our four countries' three armies are approaching the imperial mausoleum?"

"In such a desperate situation, what tricks can he come up with?"

Qianyuan's spies had long since discovered that Lu Chen had completely taken control of Kyoto.

Wu Ying shook her head!
This empress always advocated two words when she marched and fought wars.

Calculate and cheat!
Before going into battle it is called "calculation", which means to calculate the enemy's actions clearly.

After the war started, the only word is "deception". The truth is false, and the war is all about deception!
Wu Ying looked up at the generals in the army, none of them dared to neglect!
She shook her head and said:
"I can't guess what Lu Chen is thinking. He fought Bei Feng in his early years and his tactics were flawless. He was also good at seizing opportunities!"

Gongsun Pingxi smiled and said:
"It depends on what the other three countries are like?"

The empress had already stood up from the table and said calmly:
"Yuwen Yan, Gongsun Zhongshu, and Tuoba Shuyi, these four are all heroes of the time. They naturally understand the delicate balance between the four countries."

"Whoever takes the lead in annexing Daqing will surely become the target of public criticism, making the other three countries uneasy."

Empress Wu Ying had stood up from the desk, her figure lengthened in the candlelight.

"Lu Chen's Lu Family Army has been through hundreds of battles and is very powerful. It is not easy to defeat them easily, and it will also consume the army and national strength. The other three countries are also well aware of this. Therefore, none of them dare to act rashly."

"Everyone wants to be the fisherman and the oriole!"
