The concubine is often hard to chase: the prince stands aside

Chapter 78

Xiao Ruoyi turned her head to meet Xuanyuan Yi's eyes, and said, "No. I don't know anything about wars. But as far as the two proposals you put forward, to be honest, I don't think it's advisable!"

"Oh? Why?" Xuanyuan Yi became interested.

Xiao Ruoyi didn't mind giving some advice, after all, if she lost this battle, she might be buried with her.So she walked to the front of the map, pointed to Jiang Guan and said, "If we want to retreat here, I think we might as well go back home now. But this is impossible. The emperor's decree said, everyone must Live and die with the frontier. Therefore, the road of retreat itself is not advisable!"

"What? Did the emperor issue such an order? Why doesn't the last general know anything about it?"

Xiao Ruoyi's words immediately aroused everyone's surprised eyes.

In fact, Xuanyuanze's decree refers to those who are destined to live and die with the border, specifically Xuanyuan Yi.But of course Xiao Ruoyi would not tell the truth at this time.If I say so, Xuanyuan Yi, the marshal, is probably not easy to do!After all, these people are not always obeying orders, it is Xuanyuan Yi, and it is difficult for these people who are fighting in the battlefield to completely trust this new leader after getting along with each other for a short time.If this matter is revealed at this time, it will inevitably make the military spirit that has not been fully integrated in the first place even more scattered.

Of course Xiao Ruoyi didn't want to help Xuanyuan Yi, she just didn't want to die in such an unclear way.She still can't figure out why Xuanyuan Ze must let her come here.He said he wanted her to monitor Xuanyuan Yi, but as long as Xuanyuan Yi was willing, she couldn't even find his people. What exactly did Xuanyuan Ze expect her to monitor?

After much deliberation, Xiao Ruoyi came to a conclusion, that Xuanyuan Ze probably wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate himself too.

In any case, she fell on the same tree as Xuanyuan Yi now, instead of going against him and causing him to die in battle, and then having to be buried with her, she might as well work with him to overcome the current difficulties.As for revenge, there will always be a chance to avenge it in the future.

Xuanyuan Yi didn't know that in such a short period of time, Xiao Ruoyi had already weighed all the pros and cons in his mind, and he only heard Xiao Ruoyi reply: "My lord is afraid that the generals will affect their morale if they find out, so I didn’t say anything. But I believe that everyone will definitely not be defeated so easily! Even if there is no emperor’s imperial decree, you have been stationed at the border for many years, do you have the heart to disregard the lives of the people in Liuye City?”

Xuanyuan Yi could see clearly that when Xiao Ruoyi said these words, although the expression on Xiao Ruoyi's beautiful face was light, it was extremely firm.

At this time, this woman didn't take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury, which really surprised Xuanyuan Yi.Didn't she always look forward to her own death?If at this time, tell everyone that Xuanyuan Ze gave him that order, it will definitely make everyone guess wildly.After all, the relationship between brothers Xuanyuan Ze and Xuanyuan Yi has always been kept in the fog by many outsiders, unable to see the truth clearly.

But at this critical juncture, even the slightest disturbance may become a fatal wound in the ensuing war.So if this woman was looking forward to her death, she would definitely tell the truth, but she didn't.

Is it for those innocent people?Xuanyuan Yi had such an illusion when he saw the faint firmness on Xiao Ruoyi's face.

Of course, that was just his illusion for a short moment.Immediately, he understood Xiao Ruoyi's original intention.It's just that it's inconvenient for her to express her selfishness in front of everyone, so she can only find such a high-sounding reason.

And because her reasons were so high-sounding, those who proposed to retreat to Jiangguan just now all bowed their heads and dared not speak.

On the other hand, the party holding another opinion was happy when he saw this scene.But after being happy, she was also a little dissatisfied with Xiao Ruoyi.I wondered in my heart, what does such a woman know, and she is here to dictate their plans.But after thinking about it, they still dare not say such a thing.So he still asked Xiao Ruoyi very politely: "Master Supervisor, I don't know what you think is wrong with the plan of defending Six Nights City!"

Xiao Ruoyi smiled and said: "This plan seems to be the most desirable one at present. Relying on the strong walls of Liuye City, and with sufficient food and grass, it should be no problem to guard for several months. As long as everyone It’s enough to persist until the imperial court sends people to support, everyone thinks so, right?”

Everyone didn't speak, but from the expressions on their faces, Xiao Ruoyi could tell that this was what they were thinking in their hearts.

Xiao Ruoyi continued: "There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking. Sometimes it is a victory if you don't lose! But I have an unfortunate news to tell you that when I left the capital, the emperor said that there was turmoil in the south, and he won for a short time. No reinforcements can be dispatched from within. The drought in the Southwest will probably not last long. Therefore, everyone, the result of sticking to this plan will probably be that everyone will die in the end!"

For example, Xuanyuan Ze had expected this scene early in the morning, so when Xiao Ruoyi left the capital, he specially told these words.Why not give Xuanyuan Yi such an easy way to complete the task!
Xiao Ruoyi had never said these words to Xuanyuan Yi, but after everyone knew the result, they were all surprised, even when some people couldn't help swearing, Xuanyuan Yi's face was calm.Because of this he had already expected it.How could a person like Xuanyuanze leave others alive by doing things?
Facing the angry faces of the crowd, Xiao Ruoyi calmly said: "Everyone, let's not talk about national righteousness now. Everyone here, including the 50 army, our lives are all hanging on the same tree. So everyone must We must work together! Retreating is death, and defending has no way out. For the current strategy, we must take the initiative to attack!"

As soon as Xiao Ruoyi's words came out of her mouth, everyone immediately objected!

"Master Supervisor, you said that everyone should work together, and everyone is willing. But you said that you want to take the initiative to attack, and the general will not agree!"

"Yes! My lord, the last general also disagrees. The opponent has 100 million people, and if we go all out, we will win half of them. What else is there to fight in such a battle? Isn't it for everyone to die?"

"That's right! We don't accept the opinions of the military supervisor!"

……

All of a sudden, everyone said a word to me, and completely rejected Xiao Ruoyi's opinion!

Xiao Ruoyi didn't speak, just watched them arguing, and thought, why is the situation in front of me different from that on TV?Obviously, in TV dramas, there are always people who stand up to support me at such critical moments, and then I will use facts to prove that the truth is often on the side of a few people.

While she was thinking wildly, Xuanyuan Yi, who had been silent all this time, stood up. Seeing that he had moved, everyone naturally shut their mouths, waiting for his reaction.

Xuanyuan Yi scanned the crowd for a week, finally his eyes fell on Xiao Ruoyide's face, and he said, "Master Supervisor, continue!"

Everyone is puzzled, it's just that this woman can't see the situation clearly, can it be that even Xuanyuan Yi can't figure out the current situation?

Xiao Ruoyi smiled lightly, she was not surprised by Xuanyuan Yi's decision.Because when she uttered the words "take the initiative to attack", she clearly felt a flash of excitement in the man's always cold eyes!
He rushed to Xuanyuan Yi and nodded slightly, Xiao Ruoyi turned to the crowd and said, "Generals, I don't understand wars, but I still know that wars don't just rely on numbers. A small number. Human harmony is important, but if you can take advantage of the time and place, you can’t win? Didn’t Zhuge Liang make full use of that east wind and defeat Cao’s army? Who can say that in that battle, the east wind was not the biggest hero?"

Xiao Ruoyi originally quoted scriptures to better demonstrate her point of view, but she forgot that she and these people did not live in the same time and space.Therefore, the well-known story of the Battle of Chibi that she used not only failed to help those people understand their point of view, but on the contrary made them even more confused.

After realizing this, she knocked herself on the head hard, and said: "Actually, I want to say that if you can make full use of all the conditions, you may not be able to win more with less!" On a mountain range twenty miles north of Night City, he said: "The terrain here looks very dangerous, a typical place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I think we can move the location of the decisive battle there."

Xuanyuan Yi's gaze never left Xiao Ruoyide's face. He was wondering if this woman was being modest on purpose?He has repeatedly emphasized that he knows nothing about war, but he can clearly measure all the pros and cons.

That's right!Yanshan Mountain, twenty miles north of Liuye City, is extremely dangerous. If they can defend there, it will definitely not be easy for the opponent to break through.On this point, Xiao Ruoyi's thoughts are exactly the same as Xuanyuan Yi's.

"And then? The king can send people to guard there, what do you think should be done afterwards?" Xuanyuan Yi asked.Xuanyuan Yi didn't realize that he was actually asking with an expectant tone.

"Ah?" Xiao Ruoyi was stunned by the question, then shook his head and said, "Then I don't know. I just think that place can be used. At least it won't expose my base camp to the enemy directly." .As for what to do after occupying there, isn’t that my business? I don’t have any experience in fighting?”
