Huang Zu was silent.
King Ling continued: "The battle in Caizhou is not my intention, but it cannot be done without fighting. At this point in the war, our army can only reverse the situation by quickly defeating the Qin army. Otherwise, if the food and grass are low and the national strength is weak, it will not be an army. It’s in danger, but the country is in danger.”
Huang Zu could certainly understand the importance of logistics to the war. Although he was full of worries, he was speechless.
King Ling sighed again and said: "Okay, General Huang, please tell the generals on my behalf that tomorrow at 10 o'clock, we will hold a military meeting in the hall to plan the Caizhou campaign."
"Yes." Huang Zu responded, and moved his lips again, wanting to say something, but after a while, he could only bow and retreat.
the next day.
The generals of the Ling Army gathered together again. Yesterday they were debating between offense and defense. Today the direction has been determined. King Ling stopped talking nonsense and said directly: "As General Bu Shuo said, our army has 700,000 elites. The enemy will be destroyed in one battle, so I decided to change the defensive strategy and cooperate across the board to achieve the goal of quickly annihilating the enemy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Gui said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is wise! The Qin thieves are hateful! They have invaded our land, and we should have fought to the death with them! The last general is willing to be a pioneer!"
"Okay, I am very pleased that the general has such a fighting spirit." King Ling glanced at him appreciatively, then looked around and said: "But before that, the generals need to give more advice and formulate good tactics to defeat the enemy."
Having said this, Bu Shuo stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Longmen is the most important part of the Qin army's battle line. We must turn from defense to offense and hit the vital points directly in order to turn the tide."
"Dragon Gate?" After hearing this, King Ling began to look at the military map on the wall with his hands behind his back.
Bu Shuo continued: "The current Qin army does not know our army's offensive strategy and still thinks that we are defensive. Therefore, the first battle will have an unexpected effect."
His view actually makes sense.
"Well..." The Spirit King touched his chin, still looking at the map, lost in thought.
But soon, Huang Zu stood up and expressed his objection: "What the Qin army wants to see most now is for our army to attack their camp. Once this happens, our army will be completely passive or be restrained. Or the battlefield will be divided, all of which may happen. General Bu Shuo also said that Longmen is very important. Doesn’t King Qin not know? There will definitely be heavy enemy troops there."
Bu Shuo said: "The King of Qin is extremely treacherous, and he has Su Yi and other famous generals around him. If we follow the rules and judge everything with common sense, it will be difficult to win. Only with more surprise troops can we achieve the winning effect."
After speaking, he also looked at Huang Zu: "Huang Shuai has been a soldier all his life. Don't you know that the key to the art of war lies in a strange word? If you want to attack, you should win the first victory at all costs to boost the morale of the army."
"I still think that this strategy is risky and should not be taken rashly." Huang Zu still objected.
With one word, Bu Shuo was pushed back. The latter felt somewhat uncomfortable and couldn't help but look at Murong Yan: "What does General Murong think?"
"This..." Murong Yan is already over forty years old. In terms of military ability, he is definitely not as good as Huang Zu and Bu Shuo. He is also more tactful. He laughed dryly first, and then looked at Watching the two people arguing, they said: "Whether Longmen can be defeated is of great importance and cannot be determined in one word. I think it is better for everyone to discuss it again. Of course, I still fully agree with the Qin army being surprised."
What he said was as if he didn't say anything. Bu Shuo looked at him rather dissatisfied, and then faced the Spirit King and asked him to make a decision.
Judging from the overall battle situation, Longmen can actually be fought, because the Qin Army does not know what the Ling Army is going to do now. This is the only initiative. Even if it fails to achieve the effect, it should be tried.
If Xiao Yuan were here, he would definitely agree to Bu Shuo's proposal.
But King Ling is not the King of Qin.
As a monarch, he was inherently indecisive, and at some point, this would be a fatal flaw.
Now that he heard that the two commanders were quarreling, King Ling couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He frowned and thought about it, but he still couldn't make a decision.
At this time, Cheng Ping stood up, raised his hands and said: "I think that a surprise attack on Longmen can be considered, but it would be too hasty to attack now. It is better to establish the advantage on the battlefield first."
"Oh? What suggestions does the military advisor have?" The Spirit King was shocked and looked at him.
Cheng Ping continued: "If we can secretly transport a group of soldiers into the rear of the enemy's war zone at this time, then when the decisive battle comes, these soldiers will have unexpected effects."
This is a clever move.
According to what he said, when the two sides faced off in a decisive battle, the Qin army's camp would definitely be empty, and if these spiritual troops suddenly appeared in the rear, it would most likely be fatal!
But it is almost impossible to accomplish this.
The generals also looked at each other, and Murong Yan said: "Although the strategy of the military advisor is good, how can we transport the soldiers to the enemy's rear? The Qin army's front line is tight and there are many sentries and cavalry. It is impossible to watch our troops enter the enemy's rear." ."
"In normal times, it would be impossible, but now, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Cheng Ping explained: "Now, due to the lack of food, people in many places are fleeing famine, and there are even a large number of refugees heading to Qin. If we go, our soldiers can blend into the refugees, cross the Qin army's front line, hide, choose the opportunity, and launch a fatal blow from the rear of the Qin army during the decisive battle."
"What a brilliant idea!" After hearing this, the Spirit King couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then he glanced around and said, "What do you think of what the military advisor said?"
"This is a good strategy. If successful, it will be the key to defeating the enemy." Someone immediately agreed.
Some people also said: "But what if the King of Qin does not allow refugees to enter Qin's territory."
"Then we have to give it a try." Cheng Ping said unhurriedly: "Everyone knows that the King of Qin has won the hearts of the world. I predict that for the sake of people's support, he will never kill the people. Even if he does, he will be defeated by Shangguan Wenruo. Wang Su and others stopped it."
"Well... that makes sense." The Spirit King nodded slowly. Faced with this matter, he did not hesitate and said decisively: "Whether it is successful or not, this strategy should be implemented to keep this strange army secret. Hidden behind the Qin army, let’s talk about whether to attack Longmen.”
After saying that, he looked at the generals and said, "Now, who is willing to go and take on this important task?"
There was a commotion at first, and then a general came out and clasped his fists: "The last general is willing to go!"
"Okay!" The Spirit King was overjoyed, looked at the man and said, "General Han, if this is successful, I will remember you as the number one achievement! But remember, you must be prepared for the enemy's change and complete the military division's deployment."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! The general will definitely complete his mission!" General Han said in a shocked voice.
