Chapter 836: Breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat
"How many people do you need?" Bei Chenyan looked at her, "Too few won't work."
It was Bei Chenyan who knew his little wife best and cut her off.
If it is really too little, he will not allow it.
What? Ma Long and other generals were stunned because they did not understand what Bei Chenyan meant.
Ling Xiyue coughed softly, and the five fingers she just stretched out silently turned into one. The word "five hundred" that had just reached her throat, she swallowed it hard and said, "One thousand"
.”
Bei Chenyan frowned.
"One thousand!" Malone jumped immediately.xdw8
Are you kidding? What's the difference between this and going to die?
Zhan Yunyang also looked at Ling Xiyue in shock, and the expressions of the other generals were not much better.
"My Majesty, this is not for me to talk too much." Ma Long asked tentatively, "Does your Majesty have any other plans? How can these 1,000 people swallow up Xilan's 50,000-person pioneer camp? If something unexpected happens again, it will be even worse.
It’s gone in the blink of an eye!”
Ling Xiyue looked at Ma Long, "It's just like what you planned, a sneak attack. What other plans can you have?"
"This, this, this..."
Ma Long frowned, he might as well let the emperor go.
If Bei Chenyan hears this voice, he might drink it from a pot, and even the emperor will forget about it after he has a queen?
Bei Chenyan's dark red eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips pursed into a cold lip line. After the man was silent for a moment, he looked at Ling Xiyue, and without talking nonsense, he asked bluntly, "Xiyue, how confident are you?"
"Sixty-seven points." Ling Xiyue didn't show off and told her bluntly.
The chance of success is similar to that of Bei Chenyan leading the army, but the cost is much smaller, from 50,000 to 5,000 to 1,000... In the case of a shortage of troops, it is extremely important to reduce the ratio of cost to gain.
.
It makes almost no sense for fifty thousand people to perish together with fifty thousand people.
But if we can exchange one thousand for fifty thousand, four taels to move a thousand pounds, and then demoralize the enemy and boost our army, this account can be settled!
"Okay." Bei Chenyan nodded, "Whatever do you need."
Ling Xiyue ordered the troops, her eyes deep and quiet, "I don't need the vanguard battalion, I will take care of the trouble for the ordinary soldiers, give me the assassin battalion, as many as I need."
"There are less than 500 people in the Assassin Battalion at Gubeikou. You can take them all with you and make up the rest with people from the Pioneer Battalion." Although Bei Chenyan had only arrived in Gubeikou for two days, he still had to prepare for the entire military situation.
Know it well.
Point out the troops and generals, as many as possible.
Although Ling Xiyue also leads people, she is not good at leading troops. This is a fact.
Because the people she brought were all elites, killers and the like, not ordinary army soldiers. She taught them the killing move to defeat the enemy with one move.
Going into battle relies mostly on teamwork, military skills, formations, and the cooperation between millions of people who follow orders. These ordinary soldiers will fall into her hands and will probably not survive for three days, but this does not mean that,
It's easier to lead troops than it is to train elites.
In this world, the most difficult thing to manage is people, and it is even more difficult to manage thousands of troops.
If you command it well, it will be a sharp blade, indestructible; if you command it poorly, it will be a piece of loose sand, and it will become chaotic when the wind blows!
The reason why Ling Xiyue reduced her troops to smaller numbers was not only to reduce the number of moving targets in the dark and deceive others, but also to maximize her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, leading the people she was best at leading and doing what she was best at doing.
"Okay." Ling Xiyue nodded.
In fact, she wanted to say that five hundred people from the assassin camp would be enough, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
Bei Chenyan asked again, "How long do you need to prepare?"
"One day." Ling Xiyue replied with two words.
Bei Chenyan frowned, "Is it enough?"
Ling Xiyue raised her lips and smiled, "That's enough for one day."
Bei Chenyan hesitated.
Ling Xiyue said, "We don't have much time to polish it. Let's set out tomorrow night. The battle situation is changing rapidly and there is no room for delay."
"Okay." Beichenyan lowered his eyes and nodded a little.
This young couple was talking to each other, and the generals around them had no chance to interrupt. Their eyes kept drifting between the two of them. Before they could react, Beichenyan's last words were immediately given.
Come down!
They didn't even have a chance to say anything against it, and in the end they could only exchange helpless looks in silence.
That’s all…
If it were anyone else, they would have opposed it to the end, but if this person was the Queen, a miracle might really happen. They were actually worried about the Queen's safety.
But since the emperor is relieved, what else do they have to say?
After all, the person who cares most about the Queen and the Empress in this world is the Emperor.
Zhan Yunyang glanced at Ling Xiyue again, but Bei Chenyan had already made up his mind and he couldn't say anything else.
"This is the end of the discussion for today, and we will put down all the arrangements we just made." Bei Chenyan glanced at the generals, and finally reminded, "Intensify patrols to prevent Xi Lan from making a surprise attack first."
"yes"
All the generals went one after another to implement the arrangements just discussed.
Ling Xiyue also wanted to leave and wanted to recruit troops at the assassin camp, but was caught by Bei Chenyan.
"What's wrong?" Ling Xiyue looked at him.
After everyone left, Bei Chenyan began to accuse her and gave her a helpless look.
The man grabbed her back into his arms, squatted down and sat down on the big chair behind him, staring at the innocent look on her face, and said with a smile, "When will you be able to feel better?"
In fact, for this crucial action, Bei Chenyan's best candidate is also Ling Xiyue.
The person Bei Chenyan trusts most in his heart is Ling Xiyue. To a certain extent, he trusts her more than he trusts himself.
Just out of selfishness, Bei Chenyan wanted her to rest more. He came all the way from the far north snowy region without much rest, so he kept Ling Xiyue aside for the past two days and didn't let her do anything.
But Ling Xiyue made up her mind now, and he couldn't stop her, so he didn't waste any time.
"How can I really be free when you are busy?" Ling Xiyue looked at the man, held his stern face with both hands, rubbed it, squeezed it hard, and she actually felt a little aggrieved.
.
Bei Chenyan laughed happily and let the little woman rub his handsome face that others were afraid of, "So, is it still my fault?"
"No, is it still my fault?" Ling Xiyue laughed at him and raised her chin proudly.
"How could Madam be wrong?" Bei Chenyan was amused.
Ling Xiyue looked at the man with satisfaction.
Guess you have the eyesight!
"In other words, I have to stay alone tonight?" Bei Chenyan joked, his thin lips slightly curved.
Ling Xiyue punched the man on the chest and groaned in dissatisfaction, "You've made me sleep on the pillow for two nights, so what if I cool you for one day!"
After arriving at Gubeikou, Bei Chenyan was busy with matters inside and outside the army for the past two days and did not sleep in bed. Ling Xiyue was not left alone for two days.
"Yes, yes, this is a lesson." Bei Chenyan had a devilish smile on his face.
What should I do? His little wife has some objections.
