Zhongli Junmi Fei?
All the feudal lords looked at each other, and there was indeed no sign of Mi Fei.
Since returning from the last war in Yue, Mi Fei's status has plummeted, becoming a laughing stock in the eyes of the upper-class nobles of Chu.
Whenever someone mentions the word 'bet', they always mention the story of 'ten thousand gold' and laugh at Mi Fei.
The logical relationship is like - when you think of white overalls and basketball, you will inevitably think of...
It stands to reason that during this expedition, Mi Fei should also bring his own private troops to Xiapi to gather and fight against Qi.
But... everyone was here, except Mi Fei who was nowhere to be seen.
Zilan calmed down the turmoil in her heart a little, took a deep breath, and calmed down her bleeding heart: "Hmph, if anyone dares not to come, I will report it to the king!"
"This Zhongli Jun Mi Fei dares to disobey the king's summons!"
"When this battle is over, I must report the truth to the king and severely reprimand Lord Zhongli..."
If a large group of people wanted to leave, Zilan would still be very panicked.
But if Mi Fei is the only one who doesn't come - that's his own problem!
Xiong Wuliang nodded in agreement: "This is very true - the national crisis is facing us, we should serve the country wholeheartedly, how can we be like Mi Fei?"
…
When the generals saw that Zilan and Liang Ming had paid the price, the anger in their hearts calmed down. Surrounded by the generals, Xiong Wuliang and his party entered the military camp.
The 1,500-armed troops, under the leadership of the newly appointed gatekeeper, entered the camp and stationed themselves there.
Everyone came to the Chinese army's tent and sat down separately.
Zilan coughed lightly: "Except for Zhongli Jun and Mi Fei, everyone else has arrived."
"Then I will come and declare how this battle will be fought!"
All the generals responded in unison: "I would like to hear the general's order."
Zilan smiled reservedly: "Before I came out of Yingdu, I had an in-depth discussion with Master Ling Yin on the tactics of this battle."
"Lord Ling Yin has four words that make me deeply impressed——"
"Only defend but not attack!"
The generals frowned, and former general Wu Biweng, who once fought alongside Xiong Wuliang in the Yue Kingdom, said angrily: "Why do you only defend but not attack? Please help me unravel the secret for us."
Zilan waved her hand, her face full of matter-of-factness——
"Qi's army has 150,000 people, and our army only has 60,000 people."
"Can you survive a frontal field battle?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"You know you don't have the strength, right?"
"Therefore, our army can only abandon those plain areas, defend the dangerous points, and stand in a stalemate with the Qi people!"
Generals in the tent:? ? ?
Wu Bi, who has always been outspoken, couldn't help it: "May I ask General Zilan - which plain areas should we abandon our defense?"
Zilan was confident and pointed to the map aside: "There is no danger to the north of Xiapi, so you can abandon it!"
All the generals in the tent stayed in Bengbu.
There is at least several hundred miles of land to the north of Xiapi.
And most of them are fertile plains with densely populated areas and rich agricultural products.
With just two sentences from his own coach, hundreds of miles of land were handed over to others?
Wu Ben's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he suppressed the anger in his heart——
"General, you don't know. There is fertile land to the north of Xiapi. There are hundreds of thousands of our Chu people. We can't abandon it easily!"
Zilan raised her eyebrows, feeling very irritated.
Originally, I was feeling unhappy after being teased in public by Xiong Wuliang today.
This Wu Bi still dares to question himself in public? Is it because I am handsome and easy to talk to?
Zi Lan took a deep breath and smiled: "General Wu Ben, I want to warn you——"
"When fighting a war, you have to be willing to give up and gain something!"
"Although the north of Xiapi is rich, what's the use if we can't defend it?"
"Our Chu army only has 60,000 soldiers. Can we withstand Qi's army of 150,000 soldiers?"
"Xiapi City is very strong. Only by holding here can our army compete with the Qi army!"
"The purpose of this battle is to consume the Qi army's baggage, and finally force Qi to negotiate peace with Chu!"
After finishing speaking, Zilan shook her head and criticized: "General Wu Ben, when I speak in the future, don't interrupt!"
…
Wu Ben was so angry that he said: "Reporting to the young master - although our army is small in number, compared with the Qi army, we have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain."
"Of course we are no match for plains field battles, but if we choose a place with slightly higher terrain and set up camp, the Qi army will not be able to do anything to us in a short period of time, and they will not dare to bypass our camp."
"No matter how desperate it is, our army can still fight with the Qi army and retreat while fighting... hundreds of miles of land will cost the Qi army at least tens of thousands of casualties and consume several months..."
"Why abandon it and run away?"
Zi Lan was speechless.
Then got furious!
Blanch! !
I finally understand. You are all going against labor and management today, right?
"You are brave and brave, how dare you openly disobey the general's orders!"
"Here comes - kick him out of the tent! If you dare to do it again, you will be severely punished!"
Xiong Wuliang has a title.
I can’t cure Xiong Wuliang, so I can’t cure you?
There was an uproar in the tent.
…
Xiong Wuliang silently looked at the chaos in the tent and shook his head secretly.
Speaking of King Huai of Chu, it is indeed speechless... What is the level of this young man Zilan? As a father, he has no idea?
Is it really just that my ears are soft? Qu Yuan is no longer in the court, so what does Zhaoju say?
This Zhaoju is also dizzy——
Even if he wants to support his cronies to take over the military power, he still has to pick a decent one - this Zilan listened to Zhao Ju's words, but he is really too weak!
Lao Zhaoju selected such a person to command the Chu State's 60,000-strong army. Isn't this making fun of state affairs?
His fief is not far from the front line - if he loses this battle, his fief will suffer.
Seeing Wu Ben being driven out of the tent by several of Zilan's soldiers, Huang Xie, who was sitting upright, also stopped and suddenly stood up——
"It is said that soldiers have no permanent momentum and water has no permanent shape - the way to manage the army should be flexible!"
"Your Majesty Ling Yin asked you to 'only defend but not attack', so you abandoned everything north of Xiapi? What use is you, the coach, of such stupid tactics?"
Zi Lan took a closer look, and the boy who stood up to speak looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear stupidity in his eyes.
He's just a young boy.
Now all cats and dogs dare to jump out and question me?
Zi Lan suddenly pulled out the dagger from her waist——
"How presumptuous! Have you, a brat, ever fought in a battle? Do you dare to question my commander's tactics?"
Huang Xieling spoke sharply and retorted on the spot: "It is true that I have never fought in a war, but... may I ask General Zilan, have you ever fought in a war?"
Zi Lan was speechless and couldn't help but become angry from shame——
It's all the damn Xiong Wuliang's fault, for being the first to make a fool of himself, causing this group of originally submissive bastards to dare to openly defy his will.
If we don't establish our authority in public today, I'm afraid this battle won't be fought!
Zi Lan snorted coldly: "How dare you openly mess with the morale of our army, you little brat? Who are you?"
Zilan had already made up her mind.
This unknown yellow-mouthed boy looks like someone who is easy to bully, and he probably doesn’t have any background——
good!
I will chop off his head today to rectify my prestige!
