That evening, Beiling County House, meeting hall.
Due to the injury, Xiao Yuan could no longer wear armor. Instead, he put on a coat and still tied his hair with a hosta.
He is located directly above the main seat, with some bamboo slips placed on the desks in front of him, and generals at all levels standing on both sides below him.
Now Beiling has just been broken, and an army of up to 70,000 people is still on the Snow Clan's side. The war is far from over, and only one of the twelve cities has been recovered. This is not the time for our own side to celebrate.
After everyone arrived, Xiao Yuan pulled the coat on his shoulder with one hand and asked: "How about the post-war inventory?"
After hearing this, Su Yi stood up quickly, raised his hands and said: "Sir, after this battle, our army has more than 2,000 soldiers killed and thousands wounded. Based on the calculation, there are still 20,000 soldiers left to fight. Four thousand people, and the Xirong army of 10,000, was almost wiped out. The general Wu Na was also killed by Xu Hu, and the few who escaped fled to the direction of Belvedere..."
Belvedere, just after Beiling, is also Xiao Yuan's next target.
In this battle, the Qin army lost 2,000 soldiers, and although there were thousands of injured, it captured Beiling with a blitzkrieg, which can be said to be a great victory.
After listening to Su Yi's words, Xiao Yuan nodded, and then shouted: "Where is the army leader Bo?"
"I'm here." A civil servant quickly stood up.
"Are all the military exploits in this battle recorded?"
"Returning to your lord, none of the military merits of the officers and soldiers has been neglected."
"Very good." Xiao Yuan nodded again, looked around and said, "After the war, I will reward you based on your merits. Now, it's time to talk about the situation of Xian Da Yi."
"If he knew that Beiling was being attacked, Xianda would have three choices."
"First, immediately return to support Beiling."
"Second, abandon Beiling and retreat to Belvedere."
"Third, continue to attack the Snow Clan."
Just as he said this, Mu Lianying walked in quickly from outside. She was holding a jade flute. After entering, her left hand was a palm and her right hand was a fist. She first saluted Xiao Yuan, and then said anxiously:
"Master Taishou, my people have sent back urgent information. Xianda led an army of 70,000. After storming Xuecheng, they are now setting up camp outside the city!"
"Oh? So what Xianda means is that he will not give up until Xuecheng is captured." Xiao Yuan said in a condensed voice.
"That's right!" Mu Lianying said anxiously: "Although there are 20,000 Qin troops in Xuecheng now, if Xianda insists on attacking fiercely and resolutely refuses to withdraw his troops, he may not be able to defend for a long time. Please send reinforcements quickly, otherwise, Xuecheng will The clan is in danger.”
"Well..." After hearing this, Xiao Yuan pondered, then stood up and walked back and forth, and then said with some worry: "Miss Mu is right, if Zhao Mu can't defend Xuecheng, then Xianda will be defeated." City, I will capture your people and then force them to lead them through the snowy mountains and directly into Xiping Pass."
"By then, not only will the Snow Clan be wiped out, but the Qin Land will also be opened wide. Our stay in Beiling will become meaningless. Instead, we will be taken advantage of by Xian Da."
After speaking, he also looked at everyone: "What are your opinions?"
People looked at each other first, and then Shangguan Wenruo stood up.
After he came out of the queue, he first saluted Xiao Yuan, and then said directly: "Sir, in my opinion, our army cannot support Xuecheng. General Zhao Mu will definitely be able to hold it."
"Oh?" Hearing his words, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at him and motioned for him to continue.
The latter explained: "First, although Xianda has an army of 70,000, they are deep in the snowy mountains and cannot carry food, grass and baggage. No matter how many troops there are, without follow-up supplies, they will never be able to fight for a long time."
"Secondly, the Snow Mountains are different from the outside. Both geography and climate are not favorable to Xirong. However, General Zhao Mu will gain support from the entire Snow tribe if he holds the city gate."
"Third, Xianda attacked the city during the day and set up camp at night. However, in the snow-capped mountains, the temperature will drop sharply at night. The Xirong soldiers will definitely catch cold and then contract diseases, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."
"Fourth, there are often ferocious beasts in the snow-capped mountains. When camping in the mountains, they have to guard against the attacks of ferocious beasts all the time."
"Fifth, General Zhao Mu has been stationed at Xiping Pass for many years. Before, there were 20,000 troops, but Xirong never broke through the pass. What's more, now that you have reorganized the army, our army's combat strength is stronger than before. Whether it’s food, grass, weapons, or the right time, place, and people, they’re all on our side.”
"Looking at it this way, Xianda can never win!"
Shangguan Wenruo finished talking about his five winning strategies in one breath. After hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but have a light flash in his eyes.
Before he could speak, Shangguan Wenruo said again: "In fact, there is no need to worry too much about Xianda's decision. Instead, it has created an excellent opportunity for you."
"Because at this time, our army has regained Beiling, and its morale is like a rainbow. You can take advantage of this opportunity to attack Belvedere with all your strength!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yi also stood up and said seriously: "The general also strongly agrees with Lord Shangguan's opinion. For all warriors, morale comes first, and then it will weaken and then it will be exhausted. In other words, if we wait for Xirong After taking this breath of relief, it may not be that easy for our army to regain the eleven cities behind."
"Just now, Lord Shangguan has listed various conditions for Xianda's defeat. Once General Zhao Mu guards Xuecheng and our army recaptures several nearby cities, then Xianda's 70,000-strong army will not need to waste a single soldier. One pawn will trap you to death!"
"I hope your lord will make a clear decision."
After Su Yi finished speaking, he stood back.
Xiao Yuan is a modern man. He has an enlightenment that no one in this world has, and he can accurately analyze whose opinions can be adopted and whose opinions are worthless.
He immediately made a decision and said immediately: "Send the order to Zhao Mu! If we let him, the whole army will die in battle! We can't let Xianda enter Snow City!"
"Let Su Yi lead 10,000 troops and attack Belvedere!"
"No!" He ordered, and Su Yi immediately responded with cupped fists.
But at this time, Mu Lianying was undoubtedly a little anxious. No matter how cold she was, the safety of the entire clan was at stake at this time, so naturally she couldn't sit still and couldn't help but say:
"Master Taishou! Are you really unwilling to support Xuecheng?"
Xiao Yuan looked at her and said quietly: "Miss Mu, don't worry, you heard what Lord Shangguan just said."
"But!" Mu Lianying's pretty face was full of anxiety. Seeing that Xiao Yuan had made a decision, she paused and then said immediately: "Okay, I'll go back by myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left.
"Miss Mu." Xiao Yuan stopped her and said seriously: "Right now, Xianda's 70,000-strong army is besieging the city. If you leave now, you won't be able to return to Xuecheng."
Seeing that she didn't respond, Xiao Yuan continued: "There are also 20,000 Qin troops there. I will not joke with the lives of the soldiers!"
"You believe me."
He said it seriously, and Mu Lianying paused slightly before turning her head to look at Xiao Yuan.
