Chapter 398: Exploration (1)

Chuxue was looking for business opportunities, and Mei Shijiu and Prince Ying also arrived on the battlefield.

"Zi Xi feels much more at ease knowing that the emperor's uncle is coming."

The defeat in Xucheng had little to do with Feng Zixi, the second prince. He had only come from Danzhou a few days ago, and after he came, he was in Yuancheng. Polo did not attack Yuancheng, but half-way

He transferred his troops and attacked Xucheng with all his strength. He also sent troops to help, but it was just a step too late.

Looking at the second prince Cheng Wang who was dressed in armor and with flowers on his chest, Prince Ying knew that King Cheng had already heard about the death of his mother and concubine.

The Concubine Xian died unjustly. How much King Cheng was involved was hard to find out at this time. This is a battlefield! Everything is focused on the war. He will not care about this matter. He will leave it to Mei Shijiu.

Part of the reason why Shi Jiu came this time was to become the king.

Hey! This is so royal!

The real cause of Concubine Xian's death has not been made public, and not many people in the capital even know the truth. So at this moment, the only thing the army knows is that King Cheng's mother-concubine died suddenly of illness.

The Prince of England raised his hand and patted King Cheng on the shoulder, which was a sign of relief. No matter what, a son had lost his mother.

"After Xucheng was lost, did the other party make any movements?"

The Prince of England said as he sat on the main seat in the tent. Now, he is the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army.

Lieutenant Generals in the army, the older ones still know a little bit about the British Prince, but the younger ones don't know that the prince suddenly appeared out of nowhere and became the commander as soon as he came. They still feel a little bit dissatisfied. In the army, it is

In this way, without certain military prowess and certain abilities, it will be difficult to convince the public.

The Prince of England spoke, but no one in the big tent stood up and spoke.

In the end, it was King Cheng who took the lead to talk about the specific situation here.

"Uncle Emperor, Polo has stopped his offensive since he captured Xucheng. There has been no movement for the time being. According to reports from spies, they haven't done much fortification. I'm afraid they won't be able to defend Xucheng."

"In your opinion, what will they do next?" the Prince of England asked, not caring about the fact that the other soldiers did not groan.

He knows the behavior of the army better than anyone else. The best way to establish military prestige is to win battles, so there is nothing to say.

When asked, Mr. Cheng Wang still had to say a few words.

"In my opinion, Polo may launch the next offensive at any time, Yuancheng and Sucheng. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Sucheng..."

King Cheng said some of his own opinions, and it sounded like he had analyzed them carefully.

"Is Sucheng over there ready?"

Prince Ying asked one question after another, and Prince Cheng answered them one by one. In the end, Prince Ying said nothing. He simply introduced Mei Shijiu to everyone, and the military advisor he brought. Prince Cheng also introduced everyone present.

The soldiers broke up like this when they met for the first time, without talking about what to do next or giving any instructions, which made the soldiers a little confused after leaving the tent.

"Your Majesty, what's the difference between... coming and not coming? These days, if we hadn't been holding on here..."

The general who spoke was surnamed Wu. He was a member of the left army. He was very polite and admired Feng Zixi, a prince who was in the army. Feng Zixi had already had a reputation in the army. After all, his grandfather's family was a general.

"General Dou, why didn't you tell the commander about the food, grass, supplies and weapons just now? I have only been in Yuancheng for two days, and the specific details here have not yet been found out. This matter is too big to make the final decision. You..." Feng

Zi Xi did not respond to General Wu, but looked anxiously at another older general.

General Dou did not say anything when he heard this, but turned his head and glanced at the tent. There was no awe for the commander of the first army in his eyes.

He turned his head and put one hand on his sword, threw his cloak with the other hand, and slowly walked forward before speaking slowly: "In the past two days, Your Majesty, you have roughly figured out the current situation in the army, and you have a pretty good understanding of the enemy's situation.

Well, as the commander of the first army, you should have figured out everything you need to know before arriving. Your Majesty, I am not questioning the Lord’s decision, but I am just questioning whether the commander who was suddenly sent is really capable of the job. Dayuan has already connected

Seven cities were lost, and the central government actually sent someone who knew nothing about it. How could we fight this battle? Food, grass, supplies, and weapons. If we old guys hadn't temporarily stabilized the situation and didn't cause chaos, I'm afraid we wouldn't have to wait until Polo.

Come to fight, the army has long been in chaos. The Prince of England did walk in the army when he was young, and he was quite famous. But now that he has been away from the court for so many years, he is probably unfamiliar with the affairs of the army, let alone leading troops.

When it comes to war, is there no general left in the Yuan Dynasty?"

Dare to say these words, which shows the confidence of General Dou.

"General Dou... My imperial uncle came all the way here. I'm afraid he didn't have time to inquire about this in advance. You also said that he was also in the army back then. These people are here, and they will naturally become familiar with each other in two days. I believe that

My father will not make fun of the coach of the Northwest Army. He must have thought carefully. Maybe the situation will change when the coach arrives..."

Feng Zixi put down her body and persuaded.

General Dou disagreed, and did not say anything more. He just responded calmly: "That's right, the Holy Emperor and the imperial court will never make fun of the country. I hope that our coach, who has not touched the government and military affairs for many years, can really lead

Let us turn the tide of the war."

"Your Majesty, I don't blame General Dou for saying that. Look, Prince Ying didn't say that. He can be regarded as a soldier. What happened to Mei Shijiu? He was a civil servant and read some poems.

Can he become a military advisor with just a book? This is somewhat child's play. Now when a war starts, someone has to be sent to protect him? Fighting a war is not about talking about military affairs on paper, and it is useless no matter how talented you are in literature!"

At this time, another general also started to mutter. As soon as the chatter box was opened, you and I were talking, and Feng Zixi looked embarrassed and couldn't say anything.

"I have long heard that it is not easy to lead an army. I have seen it today. The prince obviously knew the general situation, but he did not say a word and did not enter the city but camped outside the city. The prince knew that Polo wanted to attack the distant city instead of

…Sucheng?”

The generals all left, and the strategist Mei Shijiu finally spoke.

"Who on earth didn't say a word when they came in, and when they left, you just said, "Mei Shijiu has met the generals!" Prince Ying rolled his eyes at Mei Shijiu, then sighed, sat down and continued: "Even you

They guessed that Polo was going to attack Yuan City, but the generals who were guarding here thought that Polo was going to attack Sucheng next. It was no wonder that he had to lose six cities in a row. Moreover, there was a problem with the food, grass and baggage.

Under normal circumstances, and in wartime, something should have happened in the army long ago, but what you and I saw was tranquility, and we did not see any signs of unrest in the army. What does this mean? Some people in the army are too 'highly respected'.

If this kind of thing can be suppressed, can this king, the coach, still speak? Does anyone really take it seriously? The most important point is that King Cheng said so much just now, but he did not mention the situation of the people who were taken away from the city, then

We are all citizens of the Yuan Dynasty. If the city is lost, will the people also abandon it?"

Prince Ying felt a little sad when he said this. No wonder he lost one city after another. There was a huge problem in the Yuan army!
