Just when Liu Zhi realized what Ye Mingsheng was thinking, Ye Mingsheng also turned his attention to Liu Zhi... Following Guo Zhiping , after Ye Fu left one after another, Liu Zhi, the general of the Thirteenth Division, has become the only senior general left by Ye Mingsheng, so before making important decisions, Ye Mingsheng wants to hear his opinion!
Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Liu Zhi was also very conflicted. He knew what answer Ye Mingsheng wanted to get.
If you give the answer that the commander wants, then you will undoubtedly be appreciated by the commander, and you will even be given a heavy responsibility!
From a purely military perspective, it is indeed a good fighter opportunity now. If troops are sent to fight at this time, it is not impossible to completely defeat the enemy!
But now, although the enemy is at a disadvantage, it has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, and still retains the ability to fight for the last time. The Fengwu Army is not 100% sure. With the combat effectiveness of the Qinchao Tiger Division, if they are allowed to seize an opportunity, they may Comeback with strong combat power.
Liu Zhi believed that the probability of victory in the decisive battle between the two sides was 50-50. Fengwu's army could have some slight advantages by waiting for work, but it was only 60-40 at best.
The outcome of the decisive battle between the two sides is very open. Who should win and who should lose is possible. No one knows what will happen... Naturally, everything is easy to say if the Fengwu Army wins. They can settle the score with the Kipchaks for the previous massacre. It is not impossible to even keep Estogan, the Kipchak Khan, but once the battle is defeated, the current good situation will be All the efforts made before the meeting have been wasted, and the Fengwu Army will once again fall into a very passive situation. If it is just like this, it will not matter. After all, there is no risk in such a thing as war. If you want to take some risks without taking any risks, it is better to go home and have a hot bed with your wife and children. !
But the problem now is that the commander-in-chief is in the army. Once defeated, the commander-in-chief's life and safety may be affected, and this is something Liu Zhi must consider carefully!
If the commander-in-chief is not in Dagu County at this time, but in Yijing, Liu Zhi will not hesitate to try to send troops, thinking to see if he can keep Esdogan and achieve this extraordinary feat for the Fengwu Army. As long as the matter is completed Then Liu Zhi will undoubtedly leave his name in history and be praised by future generations!
But after all, now that the commander is here, he must put the commander's safety first and consider the overall situation of the Fengwu Army, so facing this 50-50 situation, he can't let go!
Therefore, even though he knew what the commander wanted to hear, Liu Zhi still stood up and said: "Commander Qi, I think what Commander Li said is true. Although the enemy army has suffered successive defeats and has low morale, The main force still exists and cannot be underestimated. Our army should still seek stability and not compete with the enemy for a short period of time, and cannibalize the enemy step by step... "Hearing Liu Zhi's words, Ye Mingsheng was very disappointed. He didn't know why the generals and commanders under his command didn't even have the courage to fight the enemy decisively?
As the saying goes, when the enemy meets on a narrow road, the brave will win. Now that the enemy's army has shown signs of decline, it's time for the Fengwu Army to take advantage of the victory and pursue it!
After Liu Zhi finished speaking, he also quietly observed Ye Mingsheng's expression, trying to get some clues from Ye Mingsheng's expression.
Therefore, although Ye Mingsheng concealed his emotions very well, Liu Zhi could still feel Ye Mingsheng's disappointment and confusion from some subtle changes in Ye Mingsheng's expression!
Liu Zhi knew that although the commander-in-chief's idea did not get the support of the generals, but based on the commander-in-chief's character, the commander-in-chief would definitely not give up like this. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of a plan and said: "The commander-in-chief" Shuai, since Mr. Guo has rushed back with his troops and horses, why not let Mr. Guo's troops test the strength of the Kipchaks. If things go well, then I will go out to fight. If things don't go well, then we will consider the long term? "Although Ye Mingsheng is still a little dissatisfied with Liu Zhi's idea, he feels that his subordinates are still too conservative.
But seeing that none of the generals supported going out to fight out of the city, Ye Mingsheng thought for a while and could only follow the good path first and retreat first. He asked Guo Zhiping to test the water first to see what the situation was. Then he also gave instructions: "I sent an order to Guo Zhiping to harass the Kipchaks from both flanks. I don't ask him to capture as many enemy heads as possible, but I want him to consume the enemy's morale and supplies as much as possible... ··············”
"Yes!" Following Ye Mingsheng's order, all the generals responded in unison, and Ye Mingsheng glanced at Liu Zhi, who looked respectful, and announced that the meeting was over and allowed the generals to return to their respective stations.
After the meeting, Ye Mingsheng also returned to his study. Looking at the sand table in the room, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but start to think about why the generals around him were more conservative recently.
Even though he is not by his side, when he leads his troops to fight alone, each one is more powerful than the other! Often you have to give repeated orders not to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly in order to stop his charge!
Why is it that around him, everyone is restrained, and everyone has become mature and cautious, unwilling to take risks?
Ye Mingsheng was somewhat aware of this problem before, but the situation at today's meeting made Ye Mingsheng start to pay attention to this issue!
After thinking carefully for a while, Ye Mingsheng still couldn't figure out why these generals and commanders had such changes. It happened that Ye Cheng came in at this time and sent a new memorial document to Ye Mingsheng. Ye Mingsheng was He opened his mouth and asked: "Ye Cheng, why do you think Liu Zhi and the others have become so conservative now? They were not like this before!" Faced with Ye Mingsheng's question, Ye Cheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something. , but didn’t know where to start. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said directly: "Ye Cheng, if you have anything to say, just say it without any scruples... ··········" After receiving Ye Mingsheng's instruction, Ye Cheng continued: "Sir, the generals and commanders really respect you too much, so they care too much about your safety. I don’t want your safety to be put at any risk, so that’s why I’m so conservative!” Hearing what Ye Cheng said, Ye Mingsheng was a little confused and shook his head with some self-deprecation. This is really clear to all observers. It turns out that Such a thing!
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng had figured it out, Ye Cheng also cautiously advised him: "In my opinion, General Liu Zhi, what General Liu Zhi said is very reasonable. Although the enemy has been defeated one after another and suffered heavy losses, the main force is still there." If you have the strength to fight, you are like a hungry wolf that is cornered and wants to fight my army!"
"If our army goes out of the city to fight the enemy decisively, this will undoubtedly play into the enemy's plan. They just want to fight our army in close combat!" Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly. Seeing this, Ye Cheng introduced it to Ye Mingsheng. He just took the memorial and said: "Sir, these are some memorials sent by the Central Council. They are mainly about the control of the locust plague in Hebei and Henan, the situation of grain reserves in grain depots, and the Financial Secretary's preparation for the issuance of new products by Dadongsheng Company. Some opinions on a round of bonds..." Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng became interested and asked: "Is that the one who reserves grain in the grain depot?" Ye Cheng heard the words and without thinking, he picked up the top book and handed it to Ye Mingsheng and said: "Sir, this is it!" Ye Mingsheng took the memorial and started reading it, because there was a lot of data in the memorial, so Ye Mingsheng also looked at it very carefully. Food was the first priority for the people and Ye Mingsheng did not dare to be careless at all.
After looking at the incense for nearly half of the time, Ye Mingsheng put down the memorial with a very serious look on his face.
In this memorial, the Central Academy led by Cui Shao conveyed mixed news to Ye Mingsheng. The good news is that as expected, under the iron fist of Fengwu Army’s strict market supervision and increasing market supply, Fengwu The rise in food prices in various parts of the military territory caused by negative news such as the locust plague has been effectively controlled.
The bad news is that the total amount of grain reserves in the Fengwu Army's more than 100 granaries in various places has dropped by nearly half!
This situation is slightly more than what the Central Academy expected when it was first made, but overall it is still about the same, but it is also worthy of Ye Mingsheng's high vigilance.
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng ordered Ye Cheng: "Write a reply to Cui Shao, tell him that I already know the situation, and let him go ahead with it. He must protect the basic needs of people's livelihood and maintain stability everywhere. I will Is his strong backing·····························”············· ···········································Yi Jing, Ye Mansion At 3:30 p.m., An Miaoyi, after a busy day, finally had time to check Jingren's homework.
The homework that Gu Sansi left for Jingren yesterday was to preview Zou Ji's satire on King Qi's remonstrance in Warring States Policy. Therefore, An Miaoyi asked Jingren to at least complete this article before Gu Sansi came to give Jingren a lecture. After memorizing the article, you cannot wait until Gu Sansi starts to talk.
Although An Miaoyi made the request, Jingren was at his most playful at this age, and among a series of games such as climbing trees to catch birds, catching crickets, and hide-and-seek, his favorite was digging ditches and building dams. , to put it simply, it is playing with water in the mud. After a while, a dam is made of mud, and a piece of land is dug up to divert water.
Although An Miaoyi was very speechless about her son's hobby, because this hobby was not as dangerous as climbing trees and going down rivers, she just let Jingren do it!
But what An Miaoyi didn't expect was that Jingren not only played by himself, but also invited Jingcheng to play together. The two of them often played in mud and water but had a lot of fun. And because it had been raining lightly these days, so Some low-lying areas in the back garden have also accumulated some rainwater, so it is a good time to play digging canals and building dams... So the two children Under the care of the maids and servants, they played for a full day. When Jing Ren returned home in the evening, he remembered the homework his mother had assigned him, and then he started to cradle in preparation for the battle.
Therefore, although Jingren memorized it fairly quickly and barely memorized the article when An Miaoyi checked it, the degree of stuttering made An Miaoyi very dissatisfied.
An Miaoyi felt that she had obviously relaxed her requirements for Jingren and gave him a full day to memorize this article, but it was really inappropriate to memorize it!
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi looked at Jingren's hands and saw that although Jingren's hands were white and tender, there was some black dirt between the nails.
Feeling his mother's gaze, Jingren felt guilty and wanted to hide his hands behind his back to avoid An Miaoyi's gaze. But how could he hide these little moves from An Miaoyi?
"Are you going out to play in the mud again?" An Miaoyi asked with a serious expression, her words full of hatred for iron.
Jingren's instinct was to deny it, but under An Miaoyi's sharp gaze, Jingren could only lower his head and say, "Mother, I was wrong!" An Miaoyi's expression changed after hearing his son's admission. Still serious, he continued: "In my opinion, you shouldn't touch that mud, but your father..." At this point, An Miaoyi After a pause, he finally said nothing but sighed softly, and then continued to say to Jingren in a serious voice: "Son, those mud can't help you, can't make you a talent!"
"Did you know that when you were playing in the mud, your younger brothers were working hard to learn their lessons, just to perform well in front of your father. How could you be content with being second to others and not be able to gain some kudos?" Facing your mother, With these words, Jingren said very innocently: "Mom, that's not right. Brother Jingcheng is playing with me, and the sixth brother is still nursing in Aunt Bai's arms!" An Miaoyi heard this. Even more speechless, he quickly continued his education: "Jingren, can't you compare with good people? You have to compare with Jingcheng. Jingren has no future in his life. Do you want to be as good as him?"
"Can't you compete with Jingxuan? Jingxuan's talent is better than yours, and Jingxuan works harder than you. If you want to surpass him, you have to work harder. When you play in the mud, others will Reading and studying!"
"Zou Ji's satire on King Qi's admonishment could have been memorized by Jing Xuan in just one stick of incense. I gave you a whole day and you still memorized it like this. Jing Ren, don't you think you are going too far? "?" Looking at his angry mother, Jingren hesitated for a moment and then argued in a low voice: "Mom, it only took me half an hour, not much worse than brother Jingxuan..." ·············”
