Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 130 King Chen prepares for war
"absurd!"

Murong Yue slammed the expedition statement to the ground.

"We haven't prepared enough food and grass, and we haven't gathered the main army yet. How can we rush to attack the city?"

"Brother, I have already thought about it. Even if the expedition is a bit hasty now, it is not without any chance of victory. As long as I issue a military recruitment order at various places along the way, when I pass by, the soldiers recruited will join the existing elite Yan army. . A hundred thousand troops can gather in the border town at the same time in the shortest possible time."

"What about the food and grass?"

Murong Yue was still very angry.

"What do you want these 10 people to eat and drink? Are they going to eat tree bark every day?"

Murong Chen was calm and confident.

"It is indeed difficult to bring out millions of kilograms of grain at once, but what if each person only brings a dozen kilograms of grain? The military expedition order will state that the soldiers from all over the country will prepare ten days of war rations to carry with them. This will also save money. We have eliminated the trouble of transporting large quantities of grain by dedicated personnel.”

"That's only ten days."

Murong Yue still looked unhappy, but her tone softened a lot due to King Chen's ingenuity.

"What about ten days later?"

"These ten days will be a last-ditch battle!"

Murong Chen's eyes were sharp: "Southern Chu is rich in products. Just a small border town has a huge granary, not to mention the grain storage of those wealthy and wealthy families. If we conquer it, we will continue to have food and wine to drink. If we cannot conquer it... …”

"Chen'er!"

Murong Yue heard that her brother would be in danger, and there was a hint of impatience on her face.

"No matter how weak the Chu State is, it is still a big and wealthy country. Why do you want to attack rashly without adequate preparation? It won't take long for Nanzhao State's food to be delivered. Can't you wait another three months?"

Murong Chen lowered his head, a trace of inexplicable sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Chen...can't wait..."

"Why can't you wait!"

Murong Yue excitedly took pictures of the table: "Tell me why?" When the palace attendants on both sides saw that the emperor was angry, they immediately knelt down in fear.

There was a stunning silence in the hall.

"Brother, calm down!"

Murong Guang, who came in a hurry, heard Murong Yue's roar far outside the palace.

"My good brother is going to die, how can you tell me to calm down!"

"Big brother!"

Murong Guang picked up the slogan on the ground and dusted it lightly.

"Second brother has been on the battlefield for many years. He has his own opinions and plans. Since he feels that now is the best time to attack Chu, then we should listen to second brother."

"But what about the food? Before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. This is the basic principle of marching and fighting for thousands of years. Have you ever heard of soldiers who are hungry and dizzy and still win the battle?"

Murong Guang glanced at Murong Chen.

Based on his understanding of his second brother, he knew that his current behavior of not listening or speaking meant that he had made up his mind to attack Chu. No matter what anyone said or did, nothing could stop him.

He sighed softly and said to Murong Yue: "Brother, let the second brother go. I will send people to transport half of the food that Nanzhao Kingdom has prepared in advance. In addition, I will personally supervise the preparation of food and grass for the five cities on the border. If necessary, I can provide emergency assistance to my second brother."

Murong Yue saw that Murong Chen had been silent for a long time and seemed to be in a state of despair.

If he were to stop it forcefully, it would only force him to send troops on his own.

He pinched the center of his brows hard to calm his mind slightly.

"If you want to go, just go! Remember not to attack forcefully. If the armaments are insufficient, retreat immediately. Don't be reluctant to fight!"

"Brother knows!"

Murong Chen left in a hurry and went to the camp with a lot of worries.
