I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 256 Hesitation
In the early morning of late autumn, there was some frost on the ground until the sun rose completely.When it shines on the earth, it disappears.

The distance between the camps of the two armies was no more than a dozen li, if the cavalry attacked, it would only take a cup of tea to break into the opposing camp.

On the first day, Qingtang Lord General Lun Zanpo personally rushed to watch the formation several miles in front of the Jin army camp. On the second day, Qingtang Lord also came to a high ground between the two armies to watch under the escort of thousands of elites.

At this time, in front of the camp of the Jin army.A trench as deep as one person has been dug, and what was dug out was directly used to build a wall of sheep and horses.

Although the wall doesn't look like it's formed yet, it looks like an irregular embankment.But it is undoubtedly possible to prevent the impact of the army.

In some areas, fences have already been erected.

Tuoba Chide was a little surprised that the Jin army moved so quickly.But in one day, civil engineering works can be advanced to this level. Sure enough, no one in the world can compare with the Jin people in this respect.

Lun Zanpo, who came with him, was not surprised at the speed of the Jin army's camp.On the contrary, seeing the deep and high walls of the other party confirmed yesterday's judgment even more.

The Jin army is ready to fight a protracted war of attrition with the Qingtang army.

"Your majesty, the old minister thinks that we should march immediately. Although the camp of the Jin army has been initially formed, it has not yet been reinforced and its foothold is not stable. At this time, it is a golden opportunity. In a few days, the camp of the Jin army will be complete. If we attack, the price we have to pay will be even greater.”

Tuoba Chide was a little surprised when he heard Lun Zanpo's suggestion, and immediately he understood the other party's implication.

"The Prime Minister means that the Jin army is going to fight us here? It seems to be true. But now."

"The majesty wants to wait for the reinforcements led by Guizhang to arrive. At that time, our army will be twice as strong as the Jin army, and the chances of winning will be even greater. But right now, it is a rare opportunity. The people of Jin build fortifications very quickly. As long as you give them three We can build a strong camp in the sky. It is enough to stand against us. If we attack now, it will just prevent them from having a chance to build fortifications and can only fight our army in the field."

After Tuoba Chide heard Lun Zanpo's words, he didn't say anything, but kept staring at the Jin army camp in front of him.

Then he was ordered to return to camp.

"What the Prime Minister said, I will consider it."

After Lun Zanpo heard such words, he just bowed and saluted, not talking too much.

He is the head coach in name, but the one who really makes the decision is naturally Tuoba Chide himself.

Tuoba Chide returned to his big Buddha house, and recalled that he was also very entangled in his comments on Zanpo just now.

"Go and recruit Ah Wu and Tuoba Hao, Tuoba Ge, and Tuoba Qian."

Nu Yalang, who was waiting by his side, immediately went to call the leader of the royal family Tuoba Awu and the three princes into the big tent after hearing the order.

"The old prime minister suggested that we launch an attack immediately, taking advantage of the Jin army's unstable foothold, and attack across the board. What do you think?"

Tuoba Ah Wu said: "The old Prime Minister's strategy of using troops is exhaustive. The Jin army's barracks have already been set up. If they wait until they are completely stable, it will be more difficult to attack the Jin army's camp. In field battles, although we have an army of [-], we need to set aside a garrison in the besieged city. In fact, those who can participate in the battle are equal in number to the Jin army, and they do not have an advantage."

Tuoba Chide frowned after hearing these words, because Tuoba Awu said nothing.Now attacking, on the way of reinforcements, we cannot give full play to our strength advantage.

But if the confrontation continues for a long time, after the Jin army's camp is established, it will have to pay a huge price if it wants to attack.

This is the current situation facing Qingtang people.

And they don't have many options.Qingtang people don't have the capital to spend it with the Jin people.

"It's better to wait for General Guizhang's army to come and attack the Jin army with a superior force to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"Otherwise, the Prime Minister of the country is as good as God, and he has never made a mistake. It will be even more difficult to wait until the Jin army has a firm foothold before attacking."

The eldest prince Tuobahao and the second prince Tuobage spoke out one after another, and the two have always been at odds.This time is no exception.

Tuoba Hao advocated to wait for the reinforcements to arrive before attacking, while Tuoba Ge agreed with the old Prime Minister's opinion and sent troops immediately.

Tuoba A Wu who is with the muddleheaded, the eldest prince and the second prince who have different opinions.The next person to ask is naturally the Ninth Prince Tuobajian.

"I am willing to lead the headquarters as a striker"

"So you agree to send troops immediately?"

"When to send troops is naturally decided by the father, uncle and brothers. I only know the military order of the majesty."

Tuoba Jian's answer is no different from Tuoba Awu's.

Tuoba Chide originally didn't hope to get the answers he wanted from them, but it was better than nothing. After listening to it, he waved his hand, and everyone bowed their heads and retreated knowingly.

After going out, Tuoba Qian bowed his hands to his uncle and brother, and then retreated.

The eldest prince Tuoba Hao looked at Tuoba Qian's back and snorted coldly, "You son of a slave, what can you be proud of?"

Tuoba Ge on the side said: "The next time big brother says this, he should stay away from father's big Buddha house. Don't let father hear it. He doesn't like to hear such words the most."

Tuoba Hao turned his head and glanced at Tuoba Ge, "You can discipline me now?"

"Discipline? Brother, what are you talking about? It's just a brother's persuasion."

Tuoba Ge smiled very warmly.

Tuoba Hao snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't come here."

After speaking, he turned and left before the Great Buddha House.

Tuoba Ge watched his leaving back from behind, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and then he looked back at the Great Buddha House behind him that could accommodate a hundred people.

"It must be very lonely to live in it alone?"

The voice of this sentence is so small that almost only he can hear it.

After finishing speaking, he shook his head again before turning to leave.

Tuoba Ge is the son who most resembles Tuoba Chide.The mother's family is the wealthy Ye Li family, and the mother's family is the most powerful among the princes.The main wife came from another wealthy family, the Yuzang family.

Compared with his elder brother Tuoba Hao, he is braver and wiser, and he is the most capable among all the princes.

But even so, Tuoba Chide still did not let him publicly admit that he was the heir of the Maharaja.

Tuoba Ge knew what this was for.

As the maharaja's father, it's hard to like him, a son who has the support of many forces and is smart enough.Even if this son is his chosen heir.

As long as he still holds power himself.

"What kind of decision do you think the majesty will make?"

Back in his tent, Lun Zan sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, drank [-] buttered tea to quench his hunger and thirst, and then asked Lun Rixu beside him.

Lun Rixu also drove with his grandfather, so he naturally knew what his grandfather said.

"The majesty will definitely not send troops now. After dispatching so many troops, it took several years to continue. He is afraid of losing, so he never dares to make a decision lightly. He will hesitate until he has to fight. Or when there are variables.”

"The chances of winning will become lower and lower as the time goes on. Although the Jin army is coming later, they are fighting at home. We have come from afar to fight on other people's land, and we don't want to win a quick battle."

Lun Rixu was very pessimistic about the battle situation.

Because unknowingly, Tuoba Chide almost committed all the military taboos that could be committed.

If you want to win, you can only pray for the blessing of Buddha.

Bless some accidents behind the Jin army.
