After hearing Tian Wenxing's first question, many people thought it was a bit ridiculous.
"What time has this happened? It's already urgent. What Boulder City needs to do now is to guard it tightly and just do things step by step. Morale is not that important at this time. As for the people's support, what else do they want? No
According to General Xin, they would have become slaves long ago."
Although this man's words were a bit rude, they were not unreasonable.
Wu Yuan watched quietly, with no intention of helping Tian Wenxing. He also wanted to see how Tian Wenxing responded.
Tian Wenxing was very polite. After everyone finished talking, he said politely and without condescension: "My lords, many of them can be said to be Wenxing's elders. Next, Wenxing will just discuss the matter. If there is any offense,
, please forgive me, elders."
Should I say it or not, it still sounds comfortable.
It also made the minister who was blushing and thick-necked just now a little embarrassed. Why should he be so excited with a junior?
"My dear nephew, there is no need to be polite. We are just discussing the matter. My dear nephew, please don't panic."
It's quite harmonious, but I don't know if it will continue to be so harmonious.
After Tian Wenxing was polite, he said: "First of all, what I want to say is that you adults are short-sighted."
Wu Yuan almost burst out laughing when he heard this sentence. This kid can do it. Give him a date before punching someone in the face.
These ministers suddenly looked furious, but it was hard to get angry because of Tian Wenxing's politeness just now.
"Then tell me how short-sighted we are. If you can't explain why, I will educate you on your father's behalf. After all, you can't talk nonsense in front of His Majesty."
Tian Wenxing ignored this innocuous threat and just continued: "The reason why you are saying that you are short-sighted is because you just want to defend Boulder City, day by day, until you can no longer hold it."
"But what General Xin is thinking about is how to fight back and completely keep Tianli's 100,000-strong army there."
hiss!
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, how dare you think about it.
Under such circumstances, you still want to fight back?
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that someone had done something like this before. Many people looked at Wu Yuan and fell into deep thought.
Wu Yuan had done such a feat in Boulder City. When facing Tianli, Dayu and the Qianlu Chamber of Commerce, which combined had 100,000 troops, Wu Yuan had successfully created a miracle.
It's just that the situation now is different from Wu Yuan's at that time. Now Boulder City is facing an army of more than 100,000 from Tianli who is bound to win.
Wu Yuan's surprise victory before was impossible to replicate now.
But even so, General Xin was still thinking about how to win, instead of just defending Boulder City.
In such a comparison, they are not short-sighted.
Otherwise, compared with Generals Wu Yuan and Xin, they are simply far behind.
Although I feel a little ashamed and admire General Xin's determination, there is a gap between ideal and reality after all.
"General Xin has done a good job. If you want to turn defeat into victory, it is not enough to just improve the morale or the people's hearts. The final result will still be the same."
"That's right. It's better to continue to defend Boulder City and wait for His Majesty to send troops to support."
Many people agreed with this view, but at this time Wu Yuan said: "It is impossible to have support. Although there are half a million new soldiers, do you know how many Tianli troops there are in southern Xinjiang?"
"An army of one million!" Wu Yuan said directly.
Shock, disbelief, and even fear filled the hall instantly.
Because of the previous civil war, no one paid attention to the movements in southern Xinjiang for a long time. Maybe Emperor Wu would know something about it. After all, some emergency reports from military aircraft were sent directly to Emperor Wu.
I never expected that the situation in southern Xinjiang would be so serious.
Wu Yuan ignored everyone's shock and just continued: "There are only 300,000 Dragon and Tiger troops stationed in southern Xinjiang. Facing the opponent's army of one million, do you think I can send those new soldiers to other places?"
Speaking of which, the reason why the Dragon and Tiger Army only had 300,000 troops was to be blamed on Emperor Wu.
Because of his suspicion, Emperor Wu wanted to control the Dragon and Tiger Army all the time, but he failed. How could he watch the Dragon and Tiger Army continue to grow and develop?
It can even be said that the current Longhu Army is basically self-sufficient and can only persist by cooperating with the people of southern Xinjiang.
Wu Yuan also continued to drop a bombshell at this time, "Everyone, you may think that the loss of Boulder City will not have any impact on the Great Wu Kingdom, but what I want to tell you is that the day Boulder City is destroyed, that is
When the Tianli Kingdom's million-strong army attacked southern Xinjiang.
"So just defending is useless. Only by finding a way to turn defeat into victory can we, Dawu, gain a head start."
After Wu Yuan finished speaking, even the fools already knew the seriousness of the problem and understood why this battle must be fought.
Looking back, the first problem with Tian Wenxing's improvement is very serious, and no one dares to say that they don't care in an understatement.
Tian Wenxing also breathed a sigh of relief. If Wu Yuan hadn't spoken, it would have been hard for him to explain. After all, although he knew about the affairs of Southern Xinjiang through General Xin, no one might believe what he said.
If you want to fight back, the first thing to solve is the morale problem. Likewise, the people of Boulder City are equally important.
In a battle like this, the people in Boulder City must participate.
But if the morale of the army is scattered and the morale of the people is scattered, and it is difficult for the top and bottom to unite together, this war will not be fought at all.
But when it came to morale, Wu Yuan felt a little strange.
"I know the soldiers in Boulder City. They don't have any cowards and they are not afraid of fighting at all. Why are their morale so low?"
Tian Wenxing understood that Wu Yuan's doubts stemmed from his trust in the soldiers of Boulder City. In response to this, Tian Wenxing just smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, that is not the case. The morale problem I am talking about is not because the soldiers are cowardly."
"Oh? What's that for?" Wu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes...it's because they are dissatisfied!" Tian Wenxing also had a weird expression when he said this.
The same was true for other ministers. They asked impatiently: "Don't accept it? Who do you disapprove of? Don't tell me that they don't accept General Xin?"
After all, General Xin is the current commander-in-chief of Boulder City, so it seems that this is the only answer.
Tian Wenxing nodded, confirming the guesses of these ministers, "Yes, they just don't accept General Xin."
"What?" everyone exclaimed.
"Don't they know who General Xin is? He is Dawu's number one general. If they don't obey General Xin, who else do they want to obey?"
