Chapter 176

Good and misfortune depend on each other

Xie Yuan's camp was the farthest from the Zhongjun camp where Chen Fu was stationed, and the journey of the messenger's soldiers was even further away than the others.

So when Xie Yuan arrived, the remaining ten battalions in the camp had arrived.

After Xie Yuan reported to the account, the first thing he faced was the gazes that those older than her had looked at.

Some were suspicious and surprised. Several lieutenants had sharp eyes and placed them on her at the same time.

Xie Yuan took a cold face that had always been maintained, stepped forward a few steps, bowed and said calmly: "General, Jie Yuan, the captain of the reserve camp, came late to receive the order, please forgive me."

"It's okay, your camp is the farthest, and you will be included in the ranks." Chen's father also spoke in an official tone, treating her as if she was not her apprentice, but just an ordinary lieutenant under his tent.

Xie Yuan obeyed the order, pressed the sword around his waist, turned around and returned to the end to stand still.

The other lieutenants took back their curious eyes and put them back on the general Chen Father.

In fact, they just heard that there was a very young lieutenant under the general's tent, but no one had seen it before.

First of all, it is because there are often casualties in wars, and there are many cases where people in one battalion are killed in battle. The captains of a battalion are often replaced, and they don’t know each other.

Or they met those who fought together last time, but when they fought again next time, the original ones were either demoted or killed in battle, and the new ones were replaced. This is also common.

Secondly, since the general's army expanded and they set up camps to rectify and train troops, they had never had the chance to meet.

So, when Xie Yuan's obviously young body and face appeared at the door of the camp, they were all shocked.

What's more, in their group of fully armed and neatly armored camp, she was the only one who came alone wearing a dark red captain's long suit and wearing a wooden armor on her head, which was even more eye-catching.

When Xie Yuan stood at the end of the queue, he felt that he was wearing too casually and a little embarrassed.

But she relied on her face to be tense, and her natural and majestic phoenix eyes did not make people see her embarrassment.

Chen's father raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yuan inadvertently. He knew why she didn't usually wear armor. He did not bother about this matter, but looked at everyone and said:

"Your Majesty has issued an order to attack the Northern Wei."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the queue were surprised and exchanged worried expressions with each other. The captain of the Pioneer Camp was standing in the front.

He stepped out and bowed: "General, we have been stationed on the border for a long time and have lost the opportunity. Now that we fight again, we may be extremely fierce."

Father Chen sighed and said, "I don't know how I know this, but the imperial edict has been issued, so I don't have to worry about whether the idea is suitable or not. It's important to find a way to win."

When everyone heard this, they were a little dejected, but they all began to think of countermeasures and no longer struggled with this issue.

Another lieutenant on the right side left the line and asked:

"General, Your Majesty can explain what the purpose of this attack is? Can you point out the direction?"

Chen's father waved his hand and said, "No, there are only four words - to avenge his previous shame."

When everyone heard this, they began to look at each other again, their expressions were very complicated.

This order is really difficult to deal with. Isn't it possible to issue an order to let the army place several other cities on behalf of the Song State?

Avenge your previous shame? What was the last shame?

The last time I fought to the Huaihe River. If there wasn't a river that the people from the Northern Wei Dynasty could not get through, they would probably have fought to Kyoto directly...

If they want to snow... they will probably have to fight near Pingcheng to be considered a victory.

However, after so many years of battles, the more you lose, the more you win, the strong force of Wei State that often destroys a country, they know the most. If you want to avenge your previous shame, everyone thinks it is a dream.

There was a silence of silence in the camp.

Seeing that everyone was full of energy, Father Chen suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

This hasn't started yet, and I don't have the will to win at all. It would be strange if I can win!

Chen's father said coldly and raised his voice and asked, "First talk about the recent investigations of various cities opposite one by one, and pick a soft persimmon!"

Xie Yuan's reserve battalion was at the end, and he was not even prepared with soldiers' uniforms and armor. Where did the investigation happen?

She could only open her eyes and watch others report the information she had found one by one, communicate and confirm with each other, and then discuss the authenticity of the information and whether it was wrong.

She couldn't even get a word in her mind, so she could only write it down silently and carefully refer to and learn their ideas and insights.

"Ren County has a shortage of water, so there will never be many troops. After all, it is appropriate to attack it. As long as you win one city, no matter how small you win, you will win. It can boost morale and give you a good reward back to Beijing. The emperor will not blame it."

Another captain said: "I don't think so. Although Ren County has a shortage of water and a small city, it is located on the edge of the intersection of the east, west, south and north of the official road. The terrain is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is hard to say that it has not yet been defeated, and reinforcements have been strengthened. It's here, and when the attack on three sides will be dangerous!"

"This is a bad thing. Since we know that this place is important, if we can conquer, our army will gain a dangerous city. Using this as a stronghold to mobilize the army, perhaps we can really open up the situation and win a big victory."

Everyone spoke out, either agreeing or opposing:

"It's too risky, probably won't win."

"The current situation can only be achieved in danger, so the so-called good and misfortune depend on each other..."

"Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Win first and then fight. Are you sure you can win? If you are not sure, you will catch up and give away the heads. There is no blessing, only disaster!" Someone was anxious and said roaring.

"Then you are sure where you want to hit, tell me one and take a look!"

"I said to fight the mountain city! The mountain city is isolated outside, even if reinforcements come, it is slow and more certain! Playing chess is also a matter of leaving the outside world! Who is like you, insisting on throwing it into the encirclement?!"

"Don't you gonna be so fart! You know how to play chess!"

The people on both sides of the queue choked, pointed at each other, and spitted everywhere, and they almost made a move.

Chen's father stopped him loudly, and his rough voice interrupted their quarrel and said:

"Enough! I'll let you discuss, not let you quarrel!"

When everyone heard this, they all turned off their voices and stood in the queue again in a regular manner.

Chen's father glanced at everyone with a pair of copper bell-like eyes fiercely and asked:

"Now it seems that there are two cities that can be attacked and tried, namely Renxian Town and Huanshan City. Do you have any other opinions?"

Everyone looked at each other again and whispered for a while. Finally, they all thought that these two cities were more beneficial after winning, and the other was easier to defend after winning. After measuring the pros and cons, these two cities were even more powerful. Be more secure.

So no one made any different opinions and all agreed.
