The Cavalry Brigade set out on the afternoon of the day when Stark Town was captured and arrived at the capital of Baxter, Baxter City, at dusk that day.

The city of Baxter was originally named Dongbo City, but after Aubrey was founded and called the king, Dongboge established the country of Baxter under the name of Aubrey's surname, and Dongbo City was also renamed Baxter City.

The Cavalry Brigade stopped ten kilometers away from Baxter City. In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the Cavalry Brigade hid in a woods.

Liu Qi held a kettle and handed it to Huo Qubing who was looking at the map. Seeing Huo Qubing looking at the place marked "Baxter City" and pondering something, he whispered: "General, it's too late today, how about siege the city tomorrow?"

"Siege the city?" Huo Qubing shook his head repeatedly, curled his lips slightly, and said, "Who said that I am going to attack the city?"

"Don't you attack the city?" Liu Qi asked in confusion. Huo Qubing's preparations these days are always looking like he wants to attack the city no matter how he looks. He suddenly said he couldn't go to attack the city. So why did they run so far away?

"It's better to be prepared than not." Huo Qubing seemed to know what Liu Qi was thinking and replied: "Baxter City is not comparable to this small town today, but it is a rare city. It can't be blown up with just two hundred bags of gunpowder."

"General, wise! I admire him!" Liu Qi has been worried about this issue, but Huo Qubing's performance has always made it difficult for him to directly raise objections. Now, when he heard that the other party had considered everything clearly, he immediately gave him praise.

Huo Qubing waved his hand and said, "You have known it a long time ago." Huo Qubing is not blind, and Liu Qi looked worried, but he didn't see it.

"Don't worry, I am not a reckless person, I still know these things." Huo Qubing comforted Liu Qi and said, "If you have any suggestions, just ask. This is your responsibility. If you keep it blindly, if this is spread, the Lord will blame me for being arbitrary."

"The general is serious. With the general's talent, how could the monarch blame the general?" When he heard Huo Qubing's words, Liu Qi hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The subordinates will report to the general in time in the future."

"Oh, that's right." Huo Qubing nodded heavily and said, "You are the staff officer of the Cavalry Brigade. If you don't give any comments, no one will dare to mention it."

"Yes, General!" Liu Qi clasped his fists and said yes, slowing down, and then asked: "General, why is our army coming here to attack the city?"

"Haha, good question!" Huo Qubing didn't know whether Liu Qi asked in time, or whether this question itself was good, or whether it was both.

Huo Qubing laughed twice at first, then immediately stopped laughing and said seriously: "I am here for the goal of my country."

"Target? General is the young and strong country?" Liu Qi pointed to the direction of Baxter City. After Huo Qubing nodded and admitted, he became even more confused, so he asked, "How can you get the young and strong country without siege?"

From Yang Song to ordinary officers, everyone in the Xia Kingdom knew that the expedition to Xia Kingdom was not right, so in daily conversations, they deliberately avoided words such as "plunder" and "slaves", and instead used words such as "young and strong" and "labor".

No matter what the reason for the war was initiated or what it was for, at least on the surface it should have a decent name, which is the so-called "unjustified reputation"!

Therefore, in Xia State, the Propaganda Yuan declared that the country and abroad propaganda was arbitration and punishment war initiated by the State of Baxter without listening to Xia State's advice and insisted on invading the surrounding forces regardless of regional peace.

In other words, it is not that our Xia Kingdom wants to invade Baxter, but that the Baxter is ungrateful and relies on its strength to launch invasions everywhere. This is unjust and immoral. Our Xia Kingdom attacks you, Baxter, and is here to punish you. This is a just war!

Perhaps for the forces of all sizes in this world, there is no reason or excuse to launch a war. There is no reason to launch a war. It is just that the power of the power wants to launch a war, even for boredom.

Ordinary civilians will not care about such things, and they cannot control them at all. They can only struggle under the power game of power, just to live an extra hour, one day, one year...

But the Xia Kingdom is completely different. Such a big thing in war will definitely be recorded in history. If future generations knew that their ancestors were war-crazy, even if they didn't say anything more, at least they wouldn't agree in their hearts.

Moreover, today's Xia Kingdom is an era of education for the whole nation, and the people in the country know more or less some of the truth. As those in power, it is natural to win the support of the people in the country - even if there is no need!

This is the cultural gap between the two worlds and the two nations. What Xia Kingdom wants is righteousness, clarity, and reason, but not the kind of civilization that is glamorous on the surface but actually barbaric!

...

"This question is better." Huo Qubing nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the West Baxter City, and said, "It's not only that city that has young and strong people."

When Liu Qi heard Huo Qubing's words, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his mind. He woke up immediately and said excitedly: "Yes, it's not only that city that is young and strong."

"Haha~ I'm still wise!" Liu Qi gave Huo Qubing a thumbs up and said, "As long as you don't care about Baxter City... no... it should be that as long as you isolate Baxter City, the Baxter Kingdom will not be able to make any big waves."

"Staff General Liu is right. No matter what it is not possible, as long as we cut off the connection between Baxter City and the outside world, this country will be slaughtered by us." Huo Qubing also praised Liu Qi's rapid reaction.

"It's still far less than the general." Liu Qi bowed to Huo Qubing modestly and said, "General, how should our army act tomorrow?"

Liu Qi remembered that Huo Qubing took out the map to study whenever he had time. Looking at his current confident and confident look, he knew that the other party must have thought of a plan.

"Staff General Liu is worthy of being Staff General Liu. I still can't hide this little trick from you." Huo Qubing was even more satisfied with Liu Qi's attitude, and he still recognized the other party's wisdom very much.

After praising Liu Qi again, Huo Qubing replied: "Of course it started from Baxter City."

As he said that, he pointed to a position on the map hanging between the two trees, and then said: "Our army comes from the east. I believe the enemy should also know the fall of the town, but I certainly don't know that this general is already outside their city."

"So, let's rest for another night today. Our army will come to the city early tomorrow morning and make an attack on the city, so that they can only guard the city strictly and dare not leave the city easily." Huo Qubing explained his plan to Liu Qi.

After thinking about it, Liu Qi didn't find any problem with the other party's plan, he asked: "After this, although our army used the enemy's food and grass to replenish it in the town, he could only last for two more days."

Liu Qi and Huo Qubing have been working with each other for so long, but they have never seen Huo Qubing now!
