Chapter 1591: Decision-making differences
"Mi Wen, I understand your thoughts, a large number of Qin troops in the Central Plains have not yet begun to assemble, just one county in Nanyang, at most seventy or eighty thousand Qin troops, this time they gathered fifty thousand troops on the side of the Zhao River, you want to annihilate them in one go, and then take the entire Nanyang in one go, right. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.
"Isn't this what you said, within a month, if we can't win Nanyang, we will lose. ”
"But if we are in a hurry, we don't need to wait for the reinforcements of the Qin army to go south, we will already lose. Ye Shikai shook his head.
"Then tell me what you can do. ”
"Let me ask you first, what is the name of the commander of the Qin army in Nanyang. ”
"Zheng Lang, I have investigated, his talent is average, very mediocre, but there are people in the family who are important ministers of the imperial court, and he also became a general in Nanyang, and he has also exterminated several groups of rebels over the years, and with his military exploits, he has become the number one commander in the Nanyang County Governor's Mansion. Qi Wen said coldly, "In the final analysis, he is just a gentleman, he has no ability, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, to exterminate hundreds of rebel troops who can't even get weapons together, even if a pig comes to command, he can win." ”
"It's a good factor for us. "An excellent commander can rely on inferior soldiers and horses to face several times the enemy's army, and vice versa, Ye Shikai heard Mi Wen's evaluation of Zheng Lang, and it was a little easier.
"To get back to the point, since you oppose me and Zheng Lang in a decisive battle, is there any other way. ”
"Coincidentally, when I was drinking tea just now, I suddenly thought of a solution. Ye Shikai took a sip of the hot tea in front of him, looking leisurely.
"Tell me what's going on. ”
"Do you see the river? ”
", we're on this river right now. Qi Wen rolled his eyes and muttered.
"This river is dozens of feet wide, and although it is not a big river, it is absolutely no problem to transport the army by ferry. Ye Shikai continued, "This river can go directly to Wancheng, and more importantly, it can avoid many city defenders on the way. ”
"What do you mean...... Raid Wancheng. Mi Wen asked tentatively.
"Exactly. ”
"This is absolutely impossible, I have personally been to Wancheng, the city wall is tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if tens of thousands of troops besiege and attack, it may not be sure to be defeated. Mi Wen directly refused, this plan at first glance sounded like a risk, more precisely, "gambling".
"If your plan fails, you and your men will be besieged and annihilated. ”
"That was before, but now it's different, the Qin army in Nanyang has been assembled, there must not be many defenders in Wancheng, I estimate that there are a few thousand at most, and there must be young and middle-aged people who are temporarily captured, the regular army has set off, and the county guard will naturally recruit strong men to defend the city. ”
"Wancheng is the seat of the county government, and the county guard is also there, if it can be captured in one fell swoop, the entire Qin army in Nanyang will be leaderless, and we will be able to capture Nanyang within a month. ”
"No, I don't agree. Mi Wen's tone was very resolute, and he refused directly.
"I'd rather fight a decisive battle with the Qin army first, consume their troops, and then attack city by wall, rather than choose such a risky way. Mi Wen said coldly, "Raiding Wancheng, isn't this sending you to death." ”
"The difference between death and surprise is the feasibility of the plan, and I'm not completely sure that it will work, but right now, it's the most appropriate strategy for me. ”
"Your plan, I'll think about it. After Mi Wen finished speaking, he got up and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"Okay, let's talk about business here, every time you and I meet, we don't seem to have a quarrel, this time we will have a cup of tea calmly, how about it. Qi Wenqiang squeezed out a smile, although Ye Shikai agreed, but both of them were preoccupied, how could they have this leisure to drink tea.

Deng County.
After returning to the county seat, Ye Shikai's mind kept thinking about Qi Wen's words, the map on the table had been altered by him "beyond recognition", and it was indeed an adventure to send a strong force to bypass the Qin army by water and reach Wancheng.
"What are you thinking? At this time, the voice of the sword soul suddenly sounded.
"Of course it's a war thing. ”
"It's just a group of ordinary people poking each other with wooden sticks, what's there to think about, since you are a cultivator, you should think more about the things of cultivators. The tone of the sword soul was very disdainful, he seemed to be indifferent to the life and death of ordinary people.
"Of course, you claim to be a god, and of course you don't care about the lives of ordinary people, but you ignore human emotions. ”
"I'm not as cold-blooded as you say, it's just that those people are not related to me, of course I don't care, but you, if you die, then I will die in a sense. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to die. Ye Shikai teased.
"Old Ye, what are you looking at. Suddenly, Shangguan Jian walked in from outside, looking at the map on the table with a puzzled expression.
"Nothing. Ye Shikai doesn't plan to tell Shangguan Jian about this plan for the time being, he is now subordinate to Mi Wen, and all movements of the troops must be agreed by Mi Wen, so even if this plan is really feasible, he can't act without permission.
"Let's continue to recruit troops in Deng County, I think it won't be long before there will be a big battle. Ye Shikai instructed.
"Don't worry, Lao Ye, everything is in plan. Shangguan Jian turned his head and suddenly said, "Old Ye, let me tell you good news. ”
"What news, so happy. Ye Shikai asked curiously.
"I just received the military information, our army has connected two cities today, counting Deng County, in the two days since entering Nanyang, we have already conquered three cities, and now the three cities are in a triangular defense to deal with the counterattack of the Qin army. ”
"Then you should know that Zheng Lang led an army of 50,000 and set up a position on the edge of the Zhao River, and shouted that he would fight us to the death. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.
"Of course, I heard that General Huo Ziqing has led 10,000 iron cavalry to detour to the left side of the Qin army, this Zheng Lang is really a madman, he actually lined up the general formation by the river, once defeated, they will not even have a way to retreat. ”
"I really want to fight with us. Ye Shikai's face was condensed, 50,000 Qin troops, if they bring enough grain, grass and water sources, build a camp, just like a hedgehog, even if there are hundreds of thousands of rebels, there is no way to start, Zheng Lang is not a madman, nor is he a fool, he wants to delay the offensive of the rebel army, although the Zhao River is not wide, but it is hundreds of miles long, if it is a detour, it will take at least half a month more.
"I finally got it. ”
