"Those generals who eat and wait for death, they are all paper-mâché things. Ye Shikai scolded coldly.

"The lord needs the general to help him seize the world, and the general wants to overthrow the tyrannical Qin, create a peaceful and prosperous era, and save the people from war. Xu Jiazuo said.

"Mr. Xu, you said that Xianyang will send troops to Xianyang soon, I know that you may be reluctant to reveal the reason, but I am really very curious, please give me some advice, of course, if Mr. is really unwilling to say, I will not force it. Ye Shikai asked, his tone was very sincere, although Xu Jia was indeed a strange person, but Mi Wen might not believe it, Xu Jia said that Xianyang would not be able to reinforce the Great Wall in a short time, I am afraid that only Ye Shikai believed it, but he couldn't convince others.

"The general really wants to know. ”

"Of course. ”

"Not long ago, I received information that His Majesty the First Emperor had assembled the Praetorian Guard, and it seemed that he wanted to tour the east. ”

"That's true, I also know about this matter, if the emperor's car drives out of the city, it must be a big fanfare, and everyone knows it, but there is no news from Xianyang, so the first emperor should still be in Xianyang City. "Ye Shikai learned the information from the secret guard, this was the information from a few days ago, and then there was no movement in Xianyang City......

"If His Majesty the First Emperor is on a tour of the East, he will definitely accompany him with Xianyang's heavy troops, but now the First Emperor has not moved, does the general understand the reason? ”

"Because...... The army of Xianyang City was going to go for reinforcements, so the emperor postponed the date of the eastern tour. ”

"That's right, there is another point, the emperor is touring the Central Plains in the east, so he naturally wants to ensure safety, if he doesn't defeat the wolf clan, he can't go east with peace of mind. ”

"Mr. De's words, my doubts in my heart are gone, thank you. ”

When Ye Shikai returned to the mansion, he happened to see He Linghan in the study, as if he was looking for something, flipping east and west, so attentive that he didn't even notice Ye Shikai's arrival.

"Ahem. ”

"Husband...... Husband, why are you here? ”

"Ling'er, what are you looking for, do you need me to help you find it? Ye Shikai smiled slyly, Ling Er's face instantly turned red from her forehead to the root of her ears, and she didn't need to speak, her weak eyes had already "betrayed" her.

"No need. ”

"What are you looking for? Ye Shikai walked to the desk, the books on it had been turned over by her, it seemed that she wanted to find "that thing" from here.

"Nothing, just flip through it. ”

"Lying. Ye Shikai stretched out his hand and hung the tip of her nose and said with a faint smile.

"You're looking for this map. Ye Shikai said lightly, took off a painting on the wall, and behind it was the distribution map of the Bashu Qin army that Xu Jia gave him.

"Husband, how do you know. He Linghan didn't refute it, but admitted it directly.

"I don't have anything of value in my study, you're so serious about looking for something, I think you're looking for this map. Ye Shikai took her into his arms, and He Linghan, who was usually dignified, was like a child who had done something wrong at this time, and the word guilt was "written" on his face.

"Husband, I heard that you are about to lead troops to the battle, so ......"

"So...... You want to find the map, what's the matter, are you still my military advisor? Ye Shikai whispered in her ear, "Okay, you really don't have to worry so much, this time it's the right time, I'll be back in a few months at most." ”

"You say that every time, we have only been in Xiangcheng for a few months, and you have a few days to stay at home. He Linghan was a little displeased, but she didn't dare to "go crazy" like last time, so Ye Shikai said goodbye, so she could only stare at him.

"Haven't I been with you lately? Ye Shikai comforted softly.

"Well, I promise you one thing. Ye Shikai put his mouth to her ear and muttered a few words.

"Okay, then we'll make a decision. After He Linghan heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

........................................................................

Every day, ministers and generals came to Ye Mansion and asked to see Ye Shikai, but he asked He Linghan to come forward and politely refuse, no need for them to say, Ye Shikai had already guessed their intentions, so he simply disappeared.

As for Ye Shikai, he stayed in the courtyard all day to practice swords, and he was also waiting for the news from the secret guard, and he was anxious these days, but he couldn't show it.

"Husband, Mr. Xu is here. ”

"Invite him in. Ye Shikai hurriedly greeted him, Xu Jia tidied up his sleeves and collar, and then walked into the hospital.

"Mr. Xu is here, please forgive me for missing the distance. ”

"Haha, General Ye is now the first person in Linxiang City, and there are more ministers and generals at the gate than the people in the market. Xu Jia teased.

Mr. Xu smiled, it was precisely because of this that it was inconvenient for me to go out to greet him in person, and let Mr. enter the house through the side door, come, let's take a sip of tea first. ”

"Thank you. ”

"I invited him here this time because I wanted to ask him for his opinion. Ye Shikai got to the point, if it wasn't an important thing, he actually didn't want Xu Jia to come in person.

"The first thing is about the date of the expedition. ”

"Sir is indeed a strange man. ”

"Your spies infiltrated Xianyang, and the information obtained by spying, even if it is a flying pigeon, it will take at least three days to transmit back to Linxiang, if it is not as I expected, at this moment, a large number of Qin troops have already left Xianyang City, and within three days, the general will receive the news. ”

"That's why. ”

"As a strategist, if you don't know astronomy, you don't know geography, and you are mediocre, the rainy season in the north is coming, if Xianyang delays sending troops again, it will be delayed until the rainy season comes, the ground will be muddy, and the war horse sergeants will have difficulty marching, and it will be said that they are transporting grain, grass and ordnance, so they can't wait, and they will definitely send troops. ”

"I see. ”

"Last time I asked the general, if General Meng Tian relied on 300,000 border troops, what are the chances of winning the wolf clan, in fact, the real terrible thing is not that the reinforcements are not coming, but the lack of food, grass and ordnance, as well as the medicinal materials needed for medical treatment, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the 300,000 army needs to consume a lot of grain and grass every day, and these all rely on the supply of the Xianyang region and the counties of the Central Plains, General Ye was also responsible for transporting grain and grass, have you forgotten. Xu Jia's words woke up Ye Shikai at once.

"As for the second thing the general said...... Under the audacity to speculate, do you want me to go with the army, or not. ”

"I hope Mr. Xu can help me, if Mr. is willing, I will let Mr. be my military advisor. ”
