This is positive logic.
As soon as Xu Hu finished speaking, the other generals also clasped their fists, as if they were ready to ask for orders.
"Don't be impatient yet." Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly, interrupted them, looked at the counselors and said, "What do you think?"
Shangguan Wenruo pondered for a moment and said simply and clearly: "There is a scam here."
"That's right." Wang Su followed: "Kong Shun, a man with a deer head and rat eyes, is just a small centurion. How could he know so many secrets? He must have been careful to give the information by mistake and deceive our army."
Jia You said: "In addition, the king has just surveyed the battlefield and learned that there is a defensive flaw on the left wing of the Ling Army. By coincidence, their food camp is located there. Doesn't that mean he told the king that he must fight?"
The three counselors all thought it was a fraud.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan confirmed his thoughts and said quietly: "It seems that the flaws of the Spirit Army are deliberately shown to us. This strategy is dangerous."
Seeing this situation, the generals understood. Xu Hu said with hope: "Is it possible that the king is overly worried? Such a good opportunity is worth a try."
"We can't take this risk." Xiao Yuan decisively refused and said, "But, I have another idea now."
"The king wants to... take advantage of his plan?" Shangguan Wenruo said tentatively.
"Wen Ruo still understands me." Xiao Yuan smiled: "What do you think?"
"This..." Shangguan Wenruo thought for a while and said: "If this is the strategy of the Ling Army, then there must be a heavy ambush hidden in the left stronghold. In this regard, we may feign an attack to attract their attention. Use force to make them think that their strategy has been successful, but in fact, they are attacking elsewhere."
"If what Kong Shun said is true, then we can turn the feint attack into a real attack and take advantage of the opportunity to burn their food and grass." Xiao Yuan continued: "On the other side, Wei Qing will lead an elite force to raid their right stronghold!"
When the generals heard this, they naturally had nothing to say and were all waiting for orders.
The counselors pondered for a moment, and then they all expressed their agreement.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan no longer hesitated and said immediately: "Well, I will make some changes to this strategy. Since we will use the same strategy, we will win both the enemy's strongholds on the left and right!"
"Wei Qing's surprise attack on the right side must be captured at all costs! On the left side, I will personally lead a group of soldiers and horses. They 'fell into the trap' and then pretended to be defeated and fled in panic. Seeing this, the Ling Army thought that If our strategy succeeds, we will definitely pursue you, so we can set up an ambush halfway."
This is a good tactical plan, almost perfect.
But when Shangguan Wenruo heard this, he immediately objected: "There is no problem with the king's deployment, but we must not lead the army in person to fake defeat. The risk is too great!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I agree that the left stronghold fell into a trap and was defeated, but you can no longer take risks yourself." Wang Su said.
Jia You also said: "Conquests are the work of generals. Your Majesty, you must not do this."
"Your Majesty, think twice..." All the generals were also worried.
Xiao Yuan looked around and said sternly: "All the generals have followed this king and have been in the army all their lives. What kind of battles have they not experienced? What kind of personal dangers have they encountered? If they can determine the victory of the battle, these are nothing!"
Then he said: "If I don't show up, how can I catch a big fish?"
He was right, this was worth doing.
He is a monarch who emerged from the battlefield without any pretense.
Now that we know that it is possible to set up an ambush at the enemy's left stronghold, it is necessary to fake a defeat. Otherwise, how can we take advantage of the plan?
Seeing that he had made his decision, the ministers moved their mouths and wanted to say something else. There was also a look of worry on the faces of the counselors.
At this time, Lu Yunyan's younger brother Lu Jue stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please order me to accompany the army to the battle!"
The young man was just over twenty. He was in the army, wearing a suit of armor and having a handsome face.
Why Lu Jue is here? Of course, before leaving for the expedition, Lu Yunyan found Xiao Yuan and asked him to take his brother-in-law with him for fear of accidents.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan looked at him and said in a calm voice: "You don't want to go."
"Your Majesty!" Lu Jue was young and full of passion, so how could he be willing.
As a result, Xiao Yuan said angrily: "You bastard! Stay in the camp! You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
After saying that, he said to Wang Su: "Keep an eye on him!"
"Yes." Wang Su responded quickly with a salute.
When Lu Jue saw this, you can imagine his mood. His face was full of displeasure, and he muttered in a low voice: "How can you be like this in the army? It must be my sister again..."
"What are you muttering about!?" Xiao Yuan glared at him.
Lu Jue didn't dare to speak anymore and stiffened his neck.
Xiao Yuan looked around and said seriously: "This battle is the first battle of Qin Ling's main force. Wei Qing obeys the order!"
"The end is here!" the latter shouted and clasped his fists.
Next, there was some combat deployment. Xiao Yuan called on some generals, and all the generals also lined up and clasped their fists.
As for Lu Jue, the reason why Lu Yunyan asked Xiao Yuan to take him with him was firstly that his younger brother was still young and needed some time to hone, and secondly out of worry.
No matter what, this is his wife's brother. If something happens to this kid around him, Lu Yunyan will probably end up with Xiao Yuan after he returns.
Therefore, even if Xiao Yuan goes on a personal expedition, he will not let him be in danger.
After the military discussion, combat orders were issued, and it was planned to attack the two flanks of the Ling Army's defense lines late at night.
After leaving the tent, Lu Jue was still dissatisfied and muttered: "Why is the king like this? My sister must have said something again. I knew it..."
Wang Su followed beside him and said with a smile: "Master, this is because the king cares about you."
"But what will my fellow soldiers think of me..." He was quite dissatisfied.
Wang Su continued to comfort him: "Okay, okay, young master, just stay in the camp with peace of mind. Once you have tempered enough, you will have the opportunity to make contributions."
The Qin army was preparing for a two-front attack. On the one hand, it was using tricks and feigning defeat, while on the other hand, it was making real attacks from the east to the west.
On the other side is the Mengjin Lingjun camp.
"Has Kong Shun been successfully captured?" King Ling asked straight to the point.
A general stood below and returned respectfully: "Yes, but it was later discovered that the Qin Army came to conduct this survey. It was the King of Qin who came in person."
"What!?" After hearing this, King Ling's eyes widened immediately, and then he regretted: "Oh! Among those eight hundred Qingqi, there is King Qin! If I had known this, I should have completely surrounded him!"
He secretly patted his thigh, never expecting such a thing to happen.
If the King of Qin is captured, then this war will be won without a fight, and the Qin army will not be shocked and retreat into the country in a hurry.
But after learning that he secretly arranged for Kong Shun to defect, Cheng Ping frowned.
