"Sir, do you need the Prime Minister to send troops to assist you?" the deputy general beside him asked.
"No need. Our army is twice as big as theirs. Could it be that we're afraid of them?" Minhan Changyang said haughtily.
"General." At this moment, another general walked in, and the deputy general hurriedly bowed.
"Second Uncle, you're here." Minhan Changyang respectfully walked up; this was indeed Min Hanxiangru.
"Hmm, what's the situation now?" Min Hanxiangru asked.
"The enemy army has arrived. About a hundred thousand men have arrived. But it's fine, there's nothing to be afraid of." Minhan Changyang said confidently.
"You still have to be careful. Don't underestimate your enemy." Min Hanxiangru said in a stern voice.
"Yes." Minhan Changyang nodded. He then walked to the side of the sand table and discussed the strategy with Min Hanxiangru.
As for Mu Ying, after he understood the situation through the General Yuchi, it was already very late, so he could only let everyone rest, and discuss the matter tomorrow.
When Liang Yue returned, she immediately told Xue Moyun everything she had heard today. Let her think it over and see if there was any good methods. It was difficult for them to sleep that night, so they kept thinking of a good plan.
On the second day, when it was time to discuss the countermeasures, Liang Yue intentionally put Xue Moyun on so that she could stand at the side and listen to everyone's analysis of the situation.
After everyone sat down, Mu Ying walked in with Mu Zhuoshi.
Once he entered, Mu Ying noticed Xue Moyun, who was standing next to Liang Yue. Xue Moyun looked at him, then turned to another direction. She did not meet his gaze.
Mu Ying directly walked over as if he did not know her, and sat in the center without a change in expression.
"Everyone has already sorted out the current situation yesterday. We don't have the advantage in numbers right now, and our enemy force numbers are double ours. Last night, you seemed to have thought of a good plan to deal with it. " Mu Ying asked.
"Since numbers do not hold the advantage, then we can only act wisely and not to the enemy. It is best to end the battle quickly and not to fight a prolonged battle." The General Yuchi said.
The General Yuchi's words are reasonable, we need to finish this quickly. I suggest that we divide the troops and attack the enemy from all directions, catching them off guard. Liang Yue suggested.
"However, the difference in strength between the two armies was already very great. If they were to see through our plans and also divide the troops into several waves, then the situation wouldn't be good." Mu Ying said.
"Why don't we send out our troops and ambush the enemy during the battle? As long as the food is gone, they won't be able to hold on for long, and we can take the opportunity to attack when they are weak and full of hunger."
Mu Zhuoshi also voiced out his thoughts.
"This method is fine too, but if we fail with our sneak attack and they increase their guard against us by launching fierce attacks, then it would be difficult to have absolute confidence in winning."
The few of them discussed for a long time. Although they had come up with many methods, they could only succeed in this war and could not afford to fail. They had to give the enemy a severe setback in order to ensure that this kind of result would be achieved.
Xue Moyun stood at the side and listened for a long time, summing up the pros and cons of everyone's various methods.
"General, this subordinate has a suggestion. I don't know if I should say it." Xue Moyun said to Liang Yue.
Liang Yue was ecstatic when she heard it, and immediately looked towards the Duke, asking for his opinion.
Mu Ying nodded his head, and said: "Whatever good methods you have, just say it."
"Yes, Your Highness." Xue Moyun bowed and stood up: "While I was at the side earlier, I heard the words of the various generals. They all make sense, but there are some things that I am not satisfied with. This lowly one is untalented, after summarizing the various generals' methods, I have come up with a brilliant plan. "
Xue Moyun walked over to the side of the sand table and started drawing.
"First of all, we can divide the army into two big parts. Some of them only have a few people, and are responsible for burning the enemy's food so that they can have a chance to defeat them if they fight a prolonged battle in the future. "
"The other part is our army. The army was similarly divided into different groups. "There are tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of people, but they all have their own uses." Xue Moyun continued.
When they heard her clear and direct words, everyone quieted down and listened attentively.
"The hundreds of people in this team will be responsible for attacking from all sides and luring away the enemy's main forces. And then, tens of thousands of soldiers began to attack. While waiting for the enemy to react, we withdrew and attacked a small number of people who had been left behind, pretending that they had fallen into another trap. When they were completely covered in fog and couldn't tell which part was fake and which part was real, they would definitely split into a few parts and fight against the others. At that time, all of our armies will gather together and eliminate them one by one … "
After Xue Moyun finished speaking, the entire tent was silent. Everyone was shocked by her clear plan. She never thought that an unknown soldier like him would be able to come up with such a classic idea.
As the saying goes, one must not be afraid of the enemy. Her plan was to attack from the east, attack from the east, lure the tigers out of the mountains, and destroy them one by one in one attempt. The enemy could not see through it, could not feel it, did not expect it, and could not discern it. It was as if he was lost in the clouds, and it was difficult to focus on his enemies.
"Good, good idea." After being quiet for a while, Mu Ying was the first to react as he praised loudly. Following that, there was a continuous stream of applause.
"What do you think of this plan, but do you have anything else to add?" Mu Ying asked.
"No, Your Highness, Crown Prince, please make the arrangements." The General Yuchi said.
"Okay, General Zhu, you are very familiar with the terrain here. Tomorrow, you and the other generals will lead a small group of people to lure the enemy, causing them to be confused and confused. "
"General Yuchi, when the time comes, bring thirty thousand men with you. Crown Prince, bring thirty thousand men with you. General Liang Yue, bring thirty thousand men with you. At times, they would gather and at other times, they would split apart. This caused them to not know how many troops there were in the group, and in the end, they were all defeated one by one. "
"Your Highness, there are still some people who need to go burn the food. This is also an important division of labor." Xue Moyun reminded her.
"Yeah, who's going then? General Yuchi, do you still have any reliable and powerful people to recommend you? " Mu Ying asked.
"This …" General Yuchi thought.
"Your Highness, why don't you let this lowly one go? I guarantee that I will live up to everyone's expectations and complete the mission. " Xue Moyun stood up and recommended himself.
"You?" Mu Ying looked at her hesitantly. He did not want her to take the risk. But there was no one who trusted him.
"Don't judge me by my thin body. I'm not strong enough, but I'm very clever." Xue Moyun said, and kept hinting to her with his eyes that Mu Ying should give her the mission. Right now, she was the most suitable candidate.
"Your Highness, I think that this little general is clever and astute, why not let her try it?" Mu Zhuoshi spoke up for Xue Moyun.
"Yes, Your Highness. My daughter, Yuchi Min, has been through many battles with this subordinate and is very nimble. Why not let her accompany this general on this mission."
General Yuchi thought of her daughter and felt that she would definitely be able to complete this mission with this general.
"Alright, let's do it." Mu Ying did not have any good candidates at the moment, so he agreed.
"Thank you, Prince." Xue Moyun knelt down in gratitude.
Mu Ying looked at him, then shook his head at her helplessly.
After the mission was assigned, everyone dispersed, but this General Zhu was not satisfied with his mission.
No matter what, he was once a great general, but in the end, he became a deputy general when the General Yuchi arrived. And now, the arrival of the Prince and the others had made him even more worthless. Why were they able to lead tens of thousands of men while he was only able to lead several hundred of them to flee in all directions?
"What do you take me for!" General Zhu clenched his wine cup angrily as he thought of this, as if he did not realize the Duke's intentions. It was also an important task to induce the enemy.
The more he thought about it, the more indignant he became. No wonder the Third Prince said, "This prince and the Crown Prince are both people who flaunt their nobility. It's such a great victory. They simply don't give others the opportunity to show their prowess."
General Zhu recalled that ever since he had been replaced by General Yuchi, he had also flattered and fawned over the princes and princes.
However, other than the third prince, no one was willing to reply him. The third prince was a kind-hearted man and even encouraged him to seize this opportunity when he could. Once he had rendered a great merit, even if the princes wanted to take his contribution, the third prince would still speak up for him in front of the emperor.
The General Zhu was eager to help, and gradually had his own thoughts.
Mu Ying returned to the tent and uneasily paced back and forth a few steps, instructing the guard, "Go and call General Liang Yue here. This king has some matters to discuss with her."
"Yes." The guard quickly trotted away.
Liang Yue and Xue Moyun were talking about something in the tent when they heard a guard outside say that the prince had summoned her.
"Prince, you're calling me at this time? To discuss things? " Liang Yue was doubtful, but he immediately understood what he meant. He must be worried about Xue Moyun.
Liang Yue thought for a while, then brought Xue Moyun here.
"General, you were looking for me?" Liang Yue walked in with a smile.
"Eh, um, I do have something to discuss." Mu Ying stuttered as he saw Xue Moyun walking in.
"Aiya, I forgot to bring my folding fan. Prince, do you mind if I go back to get it?" Liang Yue pretended to be surprised, as he touched his body and pleaded.
"I don't mind. Go and come back quickly." Mu Ying was extremely happy to hear this.
"Thank you, Prince." You just wait here, I'll be right back. " Liang Yue said to Xue Moyun and then walked out, leaving the two of them in the tent.
Mu Ying looked outside the door, and after confirming that Liang Yue had walked far away, he pulled Xue Moyun's hand, "Follow me."
Xue Moyun followed him into the room, and anxiously turned her head to look, "Mu Ying, what are you doing?
"It's okay, I just want to ask you, why are you asking to burn food, do you know that it's like entering a tiger's cave, very dangerous." Mu Ying said with a bit of blame.
"So that's what you're talking about. You all have things to do, and the most important thing is to graze them. Of course I have to go." "What else can you do? How about you randomly choose a person to go with you?" Xue Moyun asked.
"But what if something happens to you?" Mu Ying was worried.
Mu Ying, do you still not understand my ability? There is absolutely no problem. Furthermore, there's still Yuchi Min with me. " Xue Moyun patted Mu Ying's shoulder as he consoled him.
"But you …"
"Liang Yue should be back. I'll be leaving first." Xue Moyun hurriedly walked out.
