Yang Yan was even more so. He glanced at the unhappy generals and nodded without a change in expression.”Xu Xu, you can speak your mind.”

Xu niannian heaved a sigh of relief when he received the tacit approval of the commander of Chuzhou City. He asked the generals present, “”What is our goal?”historical

A general frowned and replied in a deep voice, ‘”‘Naturally, we’re going to kill

Tuoba Ji’s Army and head to the North to help the Barbarian demons.” “So, our real goal is to help the demon barbarians, not to fight to the death with Tuoba,” Xu Erlang nodded.

“What’s the Difference?” A general asked with a sneer.

Xu Erlang glanced at Yang Yan and saw that he was listening attentively without any signs of interrupting, so he said, ‘

“Of course there is. In a war, attacking the city is secondary, but attacking the heart is the most important. What we need to do is to achieve victory with the least cost. If you only know how to act rashly and use the lives of the soldiers to win, it’s rude ..” cough, cough, cough! Chu Yuanyu suddenly coughed and interrupted Xu niannian’s speech.

“Attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top. This is the concept in Xu Qi ‘an’s book on military tactics. You may not have read it, but this book is called Sun Zi’s military tactics, which Xu ningyan recently wrote. By the way, let me introduce him to everyone. This is Xu Qi ‘an’s cousin, a second-place scholar. Xu Qian, you can continue.” Chu Yuanxi smiled.

Xu yinluo knew military tactics? Attacking the city was secondary, but attacking the heart was the top priority. Wonderful .

It turned out that the pale-faced scholar was Xu yinluo’s cousin ..

The generals ‘minds were racing. After knowing that Xu niannian was Xu yinluo’s cousin, they put away their displeasure and adjusted their attitudes.

The martial artist who had sneered at him earlier revealed a friendly smile and said, “Xu Xu, please continue. We’re listening.”

Their attitudes were completely different.

The story of Xu Qi ‘an avenging the 380000 citizens of Chuzhou City and Zheng xinghuai, the chief administrator of Chuzhou City, had long spread throughout

Chuzhou City.

Some of the officers present were locals of Chuzhou. This group of people respected Xu Qi ‘an like a god and were deeply grateful.

Of course, the soldiers and officers who were not locals also respected Xu yinluo. When they talked about him, they would brag and give him a thumbs up.

Since this unruly, pale-faced scholar was Xu yinluo’s cousin, he was not unruly, but just like his cousin, he was a talented man who dared to speak his mind.

Yes, his talent had yet to be confirmed, but it did not prevent the generals from viewing him in a different light.

Xu cijiu’s skin was still too thin. You have a cousin with a terrifying reputation, but you don’t know how to make use of him. If you had moved out earlier, who wouldn’t give you face? You want me to help you .. Chu Yuanqian shook her head.

I don’t need big brother’s protection .. Xu niannian muttered proudly, took a deep breath, and continued, ”

“Our goal is to get rid of Tuoba Ji. The reason why the Jing Kingdom left this Army at the border of Chuzhou is to restrain us and wear down our military strength. This will create time for them to kill the Barbarian demons and reduce the pressure on them.

if we really fight to the death, even if we win, it will only be a partial victory. It will not benefit the overall situation.

what? ” Jiang Luzhong frowned. we know this. What do you think? ”

The generals all looked at him. They understood these principles, but if they didn’t kill the enemy, how could they go north to help?

Xu niannian looked around at everyone. our advantage is that we have more people. I think that we should seize this advantage and not fight with numbers. Instead, we should make reasonable use of our numbers and deploy our troops.

“Why don’t you send the Army to take a detour?” he asked after a pause.

Hearing this, the generals were extremely disappointed.

Only Yang Yan and Jiang Luzhong were deep in thought.

“How? If we don’t deal with Tuoba Ji, we’ll just take a detour and wait to be surrounded by them?”

“Xu Xu, your method, yes, it’s still possible, but it’s not suitable at this time.”

The generals said tactfully.

Xu Xu was nothing compared to his brother.

Xu niannian put his hands on the table and said lightly, ” let me finish. I heard you say that the total number of Tuoba Ji’s Army is about 18000, right? ‘

yes. Yang Yan’s Deputy general nodded. if it doesn’t include the logistics and militia, it is indeed so.

“How about we attack the city with 18000 people?” Xu niannian asked.

“Wishful thinking,” a general laughed. Not to mention the Chu Prefecture city, even if it was a small city, it would be impossible to break through with only 18000 people. Besides, there are hundreds of strongholds at the border defense line, and reinforcements can come at any time.”

Yang Yan’s Deputy general added,”we’ve already strengthened the walls and cleared the fields.”

“In that case, it shouldn’t be difficult for us to transfer another 10000 troops from Chuzhou, right?” Xu niannian laughed.

Yang Yan’s Deputy general muttered,”of the 20000 troops you brought, 10000 are left in Chu Prefecture city. It should not be a problem to transfer those troops over.” It won’t affect the defense of the city.”

Xu niannian’s smile deepened. then I’ll ask again. When facing Tuoba Ji, we don’t aim to kill the enemy. We only aim to fight and protect ourselves. How many troops do we have? ”

This time, it was Yang Yan who replied, ” 20000 troops are more than enough. This place is not far from Chu Zhou city. If they are well deployed, the Chu Zhou city guards can come to the aid. Then 15000 troops will be enough.

yes. Xu niannian nodded and said, ” a conservative estimate is to leave 20000. At this moment, there were over 40 thousand soldiers in the camp. He would take out 20000 troops to meet up with the 10000 troops from the Chu

Prefecture city. The thirty thousand men would take a detour and enter the Northern Territory to meet up with the Barbarian demons.

as for Tuoba Ji’s side, leave 20000 troops to fight and confuse the enemy. This way, we don’t have to worry about them surrounding us.

The tent fell silent for a moment. The generals no longer spoke and each of them weighed the feasibility of this plan..
