"I don't know what Xiao Heng's expression would be if he knew what his sixth brother Xiao Zhao was planning behind his back..." Wei Zijin really wanted to wait for this day to come!
"We don't need to tell Xiao Heng about this for the time being!" Li Yuanzhe said in a deep voice, already having other plans in mind.
Wei Zijin nodded. It doesn't matter when Xiao Zhao rebelled and sought the throne. The most important thing right now is to push back the Northern Wei army and let Xiao Jinyao wake up as soon as possible!
"By the way, I just saw Princess Houyan coming out of your room. What does she want from you?" Li Yuanzhe suddenly asked.
"She came to apologize to me and also told me about the military situation!"
"Apologise?" Li Yuanzhe looked at Wei Zijin in confusion, wondering why Princess Houyan wanted to apologize to her sister: "Did you know each other before?"
"We have only met each other once, but we don't know each other until we get to know each other..." Wei Zijin shrugged and told him word for word about Princess Houyan pretending to be a herdsman and sneaking into the territory of Dayin in order to capture Xiao Jingyao and threaten Dayin to send troops to reinforce Houyan.
Brother, listen.
Li Yuanzhe listened very attentively, frowning and relaxing, until Wei Zijin finished speaking, he nodded and sighed, and said thoughtfully: "This is also in line with her style. It's a pity that the king of Hou Yan is cowardly, and the prince is also
Even though she is useless, she is not as courageous and knowledgeable as a woman!"
"It's rare to hear eldest brother praise a woman like this. Could it be that eldest brother is attracted to her?" Wei Zijin joked with a smile. Li Yuanzhe smiled silently, but the smile in his eyes was obviously much gentler.
Seeing that his eldest brother neither admitted nor denied, Wei Zijin already understood a little bit, so he did not continue to joke, but changed the topic to dealing with the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Brother, I heard from Murong Lanying that the Northern Wei Dynasty is also recuperating outside Yecheng and does not dare to send troops rashly..."
Li Yuanzhe nodded, and when he talked about the military situation, his expression returned to solemnity: "Yes, precisely because the Northern Wei Dynasty is not acting rashly, Jing Yao's injury has not aroused the Northern Wei Dynasty's suspicion, and we can also take a breath and think of a sound strategy!"
"Although Yecheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the stalemate persists, morale will definitely be depressed. What's more, no matter how much food and grass we have, it will be used up one day. We might as well switch from defense to offense and catch the Northern Wei Dynasty by surprise!"
Wei Zijin said slowly that she had not thought of a better way now, but Xiao Jingyao's injury had reminded her that guarding Yecheng would not allow the Northern Wei to retreat!
Li Yuanzhe also fell into deep thought when he heard his sister's suggestion.
It was not that he had not considered switching from defense to offense, but he did not know what the odds of victory were. After all, the Northern Wei Dynasty had strong soldiers and tens of thousands of troops, and the soldiers of Hou Yan and Dayin combined were far less than the tens of thousands of the Northern Wei army!
That's why he didn't rashly switch from defense to offense, and planned to hold on without fighting until the Northern Wei army stationed outside Yecheng was tired, and then wait for an opportunity to attack!
Seeing that his eldest brother was silent, Wei Zijin spoke again: "Brother, although Xiao Jingyao is not awake, it does not mean that our chances of winning will be small... Don't forget, how we, brothers and sisters, followed our father on the battlefield and invaded the imperial capital city all the way.
!”
Li Yuanzhe's frown finally relaxed, he shook his head and said with a smile: "How could I forget? We also encountered a critical situation at that time, but in the end we saved the day..."
"This time, we will definitely succeed!" Wei Zijin nodded and said with firm eyes.
