When it comes to important military matters, you will naturally not listen to one person's words. More research is needed before you can decide on the next step.
Wu Yi didn't say much when everyone was arguing. When the controversy gradually subsided, he waved his hand and said to the scout: "It's been a storm all the way. Go down and take a rest first!"
The scout retreated without mentioning it.
Wu Yi looked at the generals on the left and right, looking for someone who could make plans with him. Unfortunately, no one looked at Wu Yi. If there were 50,000 enemies, it would not be easy to defeat the enemy.
"Sir, I heard that our army is a hundred miles away. Why don't you send your horse back to ask for support?"
"Yes, yes, after so many days of continuous attacks, they have no fixed place to live, just like refugees. The soldiers have no intention of fighting. It's time to let them stay behind to share some of the burden!"
"You're right! We can't always be in front facing powerful enemies while they sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor."
…
As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it received so much support and support. It is obvious that this view was not put forward suddenly, but has been spreading in the military for a long time.
Wu Yi did not go against their wishes, just as he had not rejected their idea of retreat before. He nodded in agreement, which surprised many people. It seemed that Wu Yi also had dissatisfaction in his heart.
Wu Yi continued to ask: "What then?"
"You can send a detachment to attack its food road!"
"There is a Hui River nearby. The silt is silted up and it is a river on the ground. You can send people to dig dikes and use the water as soldiers!"
Everyone put forward their own suggestions. As the route in the original plan, it was naturally carefully considered and arranged, and the nearby terrain was studied, so their suggestions were more or less maneuverable.
In the end, except for sending personnel to ask for help from the garrison a hundred miles away, Wu Yi suppressed all other suggestions and only said that they needed to be reconsidered.
Although he said this, everyone understood that Wu Yi did not like these suggestions, so he just shied away, and the meeting dispersed.
After everyone dispersed, Wu Yi opened the letter sent by the scout and looked at it carefully. He looked up and saw that there was still one person in the tent who had not left, and who had not even moved his body.
This man is called Liu Quande. He is not from the Daji Dynasty, but from a small country. He joined the team later. He has a slightly thin body, a uneven beard on his face, and a pair of eyes that are slightly unfocused. On weekdays, he looks like
He was totally lacking energy and was very ill, so his status in Wu Yi's heart was close to nothing.
This person was originally a ruffian from the countryside. He idled around all day long. Although he did not do any major evil, he was always guilty of minor evils. The reason why this person was able to enter the meeting hall was because he helped Wu Yi stabilize the situation. Not only that, but he also
With a team of thousands of people, it has some appeal.
In return, Wu Yi asked him to command the team, and his position was captain of ten thousand men. However, Wu Yi used the excuse that he had not obtained the imperial order, so he added the word "Dai" in front of him. In terms of power, it had little impact.
In addition, he was allowed to participate in the discussion, but because Liu Quande was too junior and lacked knowledge, he basically did not speak on weekdays.
But this time, when everyone was silent, Liu Quande was the only one left. It cannot be said that he did not have the idea of recommending himself. However, Wu Yi did not reveal his thoughts. How much did he understand?
Wu Yi put down the letter and said, "Do you have something you want to report privately?"
Liu Quande stood up from his seat, knelt down with a bang, raised his hands and said: "Sir, we can't retreat any longer, otherwise we will definitely die!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Wu Yi's pupils, but he still reprimanded: "What do you know, now the land is being divided, the people will not accept it, all the big households will leave, the army will run out of money and food, and if we don't retreat, is it possible to wait here to die?"
"Since ancient times, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. Imagine that before, even if one was equal to ten, our soldiers would not be moved at all. Now there are only 50,000 enemy troops, and the generals are actually afraid of them. If they retreat now, the soldiers will have no intention to fight.
The path we take must be a dead end!"
"If you don't go back, you won't be able to move forward!" Wu Yi said with a somewhat sarcastic tone. Most people would have been frightened by such a situation and would not dare to say anything.
But Liu Quande seemed to be risking his life and said: "Exactly!"
Wu Yi's angry face turned slightly and he said: "Tell me and listen!"
"Your Excellency, this trip is like a divine dragon entering the sea, sweeping across thousands of miles and destroying the country. Then he kills the powerful and divides the land among tenants. The people's hearts are with him. If there is another victory, the restoration forces will be suppressed. The people are not willing to
De Tian is just a picture of landlords and slaves bullying others!"
"If your Excellency retreats now, who will do justice to them in Guizhou?" After all, Liu Quande represents the interests of the people after the land is divided. Naturally, he does not want to see Wu Yi retreat. If he retreats now, who knows whether it will happen in the future?
If they withdraw to the west of Hengchuan Ridge, who will protect their interests?
"It's not that I don't want to uphold justice for them, it's just that the army is exhausted and eager to return home, and I can't suppress it."
"Your Excellency, you are overly concerned. The army has been fighting and winning consecutive battles. It is in great momentum. How can it be exhausted? The so-called return home is like an arrow, but it is just that we can't see the opportunity to serve the country with meritorious services!"
Wu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you have something to do!" After waiting for so long, someone finally stood up.
"My lord, please allocate another 3,000 heavy armored troops to me, and I will definitely attack Shenglong City to repay my lord!"
The heavily armored army consisted of soldiers covered with armor, many of whom didn't even have armor. Liu Quande was also a lion. Wu Yi searched the entire army, but he might not be able to collect three thousand for him.
As for Thang Long City, it is the capital of a nearby small country and is also a member of the coalition forces of various countries. Now that the army has withdrawn, it is a good time to launch a surprise attack.
Wu Yi pretended to think and said: "This matter is of great importance and the risk is not small. Everyone needs to discuss it!"
Liu Quande's pupils dilated. He didn't know what Wu Yi meant by this move. If he wanted to veto it, just reject it. Why discuss it in front of everyone? Do we need to say the result of the discussion? The vast majority of people must be opposed.
A group of troops who had left recently were summoned back by Wu Yi. After hearing the news, most people thought that Liu Quande was betting on the lives of the entire army because he did not know the heights of the sky.
Liu Quande tried his best to argue, but except for a few soldiers who joined him later, they all expressed doubts.
Being forced to panic, Liu Quande said: "If you feel that there is a risk, you can stay here to guard. I will go with my own troops. A group of women and the like have no blood at all. I don't know how they got into this position."
