Xu Mo had already regarded Qin Feng's order as an imperial edict.
Do what you say and do what is forbidden.
Xu Mo will never do anything more than Qin Feng's orders.
"This matter still needs to be discussed."
Xu Mo did not reject Li Zhang directly. After all, Li Zhang's identity was very special, especially for Qin Feng, which was extremely important.
After all, Prince Ming and his son are directly related to whether Qin Feng, who is entrenched in Beixi County, has laws to follow and whether his position is upright.
For anyone, the legal system is the most important thing, even Qin Feng is no exception.
Seeing that Xu Mo refused to cooperate, Li Zhang couldn't help but feel anxious.
"General Xu, if it were left in the past, we would only take the land of one state. After all, the division has no name."
"And now, Beidi is secretly planning to continue to harass our Daliang border. Now that we have the handle, we are famous for our division."
“Wouldn’t it be too conservative if we only capture one state?”
"This Xiongying Ridge is the most important material transit point in the deployment of the entire southern battlefield in Beidi."
"If we say that capturing a state will hurt Beidi, then taking Xiongying Ridge will truly cause Beidi to bleed."
"At the negotiation table, even if Beidi is just trying to get back Eagle Ridge, he will make concessions at every turn."
"Such a good opportunity cannot be missed."
After hearing what Li Zhang said, Xu Mo couldn't help but rub his chin, thoughtfully.
It is undeniable that Li Zhang has a very sharp vision, and his decision to capture Eagle Ridge is definitely a wise move.
But……
Qin Feng did not give an order.
Based on this alone, Xu Mo would not be able to agree to Li Zhang easily.
"Your Majesty, I support your decision from the bottom of my heart, but..."
"As the only remaining general in Beixi County, I am responsible for the mobilization of troops and horses in Beixi County and even the entire northern border."
"This is Brother Qin's great trust in me."
"Any orders given by Brother Qin, I will naturally implement them to the end. Correspondingly, I will not carry out the orders that Brother Qin did not give, even if you tell the truth!"
Li Zhang was so angry that he stamped his feet.
It would be a shame to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But Li Zhang had nothing to do with Xu Mo. After all, this guy and Ning Hu were Qin Feng's right-hand men and were absolutely loyal.
Want Xu Mo to overstep his authority?
Don’t even think about it!
Li Zhang had no choice but to look at Lin Quqi for help.
Lin Quqi quickly turned around and said, "Don't look at me, I can't make the decision in this matter."
Just when Li Zhang was about to give up, a calm and virtuous voice came from the back hall.
"General Xu, just do as the prince says."
Xu Mo was stunned and looked out, only to see Qin Cheng walking in through the curtain, accompanied by Jing Qianying.
Xu Mo quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
"Meet Madam."
"This rash dispatch of troops has not been approved by Brother Qin. I am the commander-in-chief of Beixi County and cannot be the commander-in-chief."
Even when facing Qin Cheng, Xu Mo still didn't let go.
Seeing this situation, Qin Cheng was not at all displeased, on the contrary, she was extremely pleased.
Qin Feng is lucky to have such loyal subordinates.
Everyone said that the Qin Cheng family was the Dinghai Shenzhen of Beixi County.
actually not!
This Xu Mo is the real Dinghai Shenzhen. As long as he is here, there will never be any trouble in Beixi County or the northern border.
Mrs. Qin Cheng personally stretched out her hand, held Xu Mo's fist, and motioned for him to stand up and speak.
"General Xu, there is nothing wrong with you being loyal to Feng'er."
"As the general of Beixi County, you are doing your duty to the best of your ability, and there is nothing wrong with that."
"But the opportunity that the prince saw is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I send the letter now to notify Feng'er and wait for the order to be issued, I am afraid that the opportunity will have been missed."
"After all, on the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly. I don't need to remind you of this."
"Continue to attack and attack Eagle Ridge. No matter what goes wrong, I will be responsible. You don't have to have any psychological burden."
Hearing this, Xu Mo couldn't help but look embarrassed.
After hesitating again and again, he sighed.
"Madam, it's not that I have a psychological burden or that I'm afraid of taking responsibility, but..."
Before Xu Mo could finish speaking, Qin Cheng had already patted Xu Mo on the shoulder to express her understanding.
"Since you will never disobey Feng'er's orders, then it's better to do this."
"Now the army continues to attack, capture this state, and continue to consolidate."
"In addition, increase troops to the front line and hoard them instead of attacking."
"Send a letter to Kyoto immediately. When Feng'er replies, whether it is to withdraw the troops or launch an attack immediately, we can respond as soon as possible."
When the words came to this point, Xu Mo stopped insisting and immediately nodded in agreement.
As a result, Li Zhang quickly added.
"That's not enough!"
"When we attack Honshu again, Eagle Ridge will definitely strengthen its defense. If we don't take this opportunity to defeat it in one fell swoop, it will be difficult to attack again after Eagle Ridge is impregnable."
"My bottom line is...immediately send cavalry to harass Xiongying Ridge, surround and kill the Beidi messengers, and cut off Xiongying Ridge from the outside world."
"And spread rumors that our army has begun to attack the second state, shaking the morale of Eagle Ridge."
"Even if you don't attack, you will still tire the enemy!"
Li Zhang's attitude was extremely determined. After all, delaying the opportunity would only make Eagle Ridge's defense stronger and stronger.
Even if the Daliang soldiers were good at attacking fortified areas, they would still suffer casualties several times that of the enemy.
It’s okay not to do this kind of thing that adds casualties.
"If we can't tire out the enemy, then we simply won't attack Eagle Ridge!"
The Qin Cheng family has no real power and can only act as peacemaker in the middle. The final decision-making power still lies in Xu Mo's hands.
Xu Mo was still hesitant.
At this moment, Lin Quqi reminded softly: "General Xu, although I don't understand military affairs, I also understand that opportunities cannot be missed and will never come back."
"Brother Qin is not in Beixi County. The only person who can help you with advice is the Crown Prince."
"In terms of military affairs, the prince's words are Brother Qin's words."
Xu Mo's firm stance finally wavered.
It is true that he is loyal to Qin Feng, but the Mingwang family is also true.
And for Qin Feng, even if Li Lang died in battle, the position of King Ming and the Crown Prince never wavered.
Coupled with Li Zhang's military foresight.
Xu Mo gritted his teeth and risked his life: "Okay! As you said, the troops will be exhausted and the enemy will be exhausted. Whether we attack or not in the end depends on how Brother Qin replies."
Li Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately urged Xu Mo to order the deployment of troops.
Qin Cheng and Jing Qianying on the side looked at the group of good generals and advisers who were quarreling red-faced in front of them to assist Qin Feng, and couldn't help laughing with joy.
"Mother, Feng'er is so virtuous and capable that there are such Chicheng brothers?" Jing Qianying couldn't help but sigh.
Mrs. Qin Cheng smiled softly and sighed softly: "Compare your heart to your heart."
"Feng'er treats them like brothers, and they will naturally treat Feng'er with their heart and soul."
Hearing this, Jing Qianying couldn't help but recall that Qin Feng did not hesitate to fall out with Emperor Liang in order to let Li Lang return to the royal ancestral hall...
