General Sun was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that he still wasn't satisfied in the eyes of King Mo because he felt that it was already an excellent loss rate, but after thinking about it, King Mo was not an ordinary person, his ability was outstanding, and it was a good thing that he had higher and stricter requirements for war.

After all, the lives of soldiers are indeed very important, and it is not like other things are gone. Everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers, and it is of course the best to be able to die less.

For a while, General Sun also understood why Mo Li had to assume two more months, compared to his previous blind pursuit of quick success, King Mo's thoughts and worries made General Sun even more admired.

This time, on the contrary, he was silent for a longer time, calculated and prepared in more detail, and then he pondered and replied truthfully: "If there is four months of hard work to advance step by step, the final general will take the main force of the enemy's army, and the number of losses can be reduced to about six hundred." ”

The loss of 600 people is already an extremely small price for taking the entire Muzhou, and it can be regarded as a very good record, and it is already the minimum limit of personnel loss for him.

At this time, General Sun had absolute confidence that he should be able to satisfy King Mo, but what he didn't expect was that after hearing his answer, Mo Li shook his head again.

"Six hundred, that's still too much." Mo Li said calmly: "Four months is just the right time to attack Muzhou, even if you add more time, it will not mean much to you." But judging from the comparison of our current numbers and the advantages of the chaotic army, the loss of 600 soldiers is still too great, I wonder if any of the generals have the confidence to break through the limit of General Sun's 600 losses? ”

As soon as this statement came out. Generals, you look at me, I look at you, but no one stands up again. Because they all feel. The number of 600 losses mentioned by General Sun is already an extremely low number, and no matter how many of them are replaced, it is impossible to do better than him, and die less.

"Lord Wang, General Sun's budget is already extremely low, according to the last general, even if the general is replaced, or other ways of doing war. It is not necessarily possible to exceed this number. "General Yue, who was brought up by Mo Li, is a pertinent person, and he did not deliberately fall into the well because of his previous disagreement with General Sun, but was the first to come forward to speak for General Sun. At the same time, it is also the most authentic view of expressing one's heart.

"The last general also thinks the same, the loss of six hundred is already the lowest." Another General Qin, who was personally picked up by Mo Li and was quite important, also stood up to speak for General Sun.

The actions of these two people surprised General Sun, and at the same time, some people's views on some things gradually reversed a lot.

As for King Mo, General Sun's mentality is now much calmer. I don't think that King Mo is embarrassing himself by saying this. He was embarrassed, and he probably had no other intentions, just to be able to brainstorm the best and best results, and to keep the damage to a minimum.

"Qi Qi Wang, the last general will control the loss at about six hundred is already the limit, but the last general knows that the prince is benevolent, and regards the life of the soldier as the most important thing to see the treatment. This is the greatest luck for all our soldiers. Sun makes a statement here, no matter who it is. But as long as there is a better strategy and can do this matter better, Sun will resolutely support it, fully assist, and there will be no lies. ”

"The character of the generals is very appreciated, and being able to focus on the overall situation and not be trapped by personal conflicts is the most basic reliance we can rely on to stick to the end."

Mo Li was not in a hurry to mention the loss again, but first affirmed the words and deeds of General Sun and the generals of Bing and Qin, and further concluded: "On the battlefield, only if you can entrust your back to your teammates and brothers wholeheartedly, such an army can be invincible!" ”

"We will remember the teachings of the prince!" Everyone realized Mo Li's good intentions, and they all clasped their fists and saluted Mo Li.

Mo Li bowed slightly, as a kind of respect for the generals, and then he no longer asked anyone, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of attacking Muzhou, this king has a plan, and it will take a little more than General Sun a month, it will take a total of five months, and the number of personnel transferred is about six thousand. While it may seem like a little more effort and a little longer to wait, it has two biggest benefits. ”

Hearing Mo Li's words, everyone's eyes lit up, especially General Sun, who stared at Mo Li without blinking, waiting for his next step.

In this regard, Mo Li did not deliberately hang any appetite to sell anything, and quickly continued: "First, although it is five months, this king can guarantee that not only the main force of the rebellious army will be eliminated, but also all the remnants of Muzhou will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and even the matter of clearing the tail has been counted in these five months. Second, acting according to the king's disposition, it is guaranteed that the loss of the soldiers will be reduced to less than a hundred, and this loss of 100 is not only the list of dead and dead, but also includes the wounded. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were even more excited, according to Mo Li's meaning, that is to say, after the battle of Muzhou ended, the death of the entire army could be controlled so little.

If this is really the case, then anyone is willing to do it according to Mo Li's strategy, after all, if you count the finishing work, five months of Pingmuzhou Rebellion is not a long time!

"Is this true?" General Sun didn't think much about it, and immediately blurted out a rhetorical question.

"It's serious, otherwise, why hasn't this king been in a hurry to send troops?" Mo Li smiled slightly, and confirmed again with certainty: "However, in order to prevent the battle plan from being accidentally leaked and causing changes, this king did not directly explain all the deployments to you in detail. Instead, they will act in the way that they will deploy generals according to their needs at different times. All the generals need to do is follow the tasks assigned to you by the king and do not travel to the pool, and everything else will be slowly revealed! ”

If Mo Li just said such things when he took over the army, and made such an arrangement, then nine out of ten of these generals would not be convinced, let alone follow them one by one, but now it is different, this period of time and practice have proved that Mo Li does have his unique talent and excellent ability in military command, coupled with the pros and cons of the layers of foreshadowing just now, so no one thought much about it at the moment, and quickly accepted Mo Li's opinion.

As a result, the relationship between the generals is becoming more and more integrated, and the tacit understanding and trust are gradually improving.

And Mo Li quickly assigned some of the tasks that the generals had to complete in the first step, of course, this is not to say that Mo Li arranged the generals without the slightest right to question, on the contrary, Mo Li also took the initiative to ask everyone if they had different opinions and ideas, if it was reasonable, they could consider re-integration.

However, Mo Li's arrangement was already very complete, and the overall plan was not revealed, so no one among the generals felt that there was anything wrong.

When the matter was almost discussed, Han Jiangxue suddenly went to the military tent.

Although Han Jiangxue often appeared in the military account in the past, and everyone had already participated in military discussions with Han Jiangxue to some extent, it was the first time that someone suddenly came in the middle of the road like this.

"Cher, what's wrong?" Mo Li looked at Han Jiangxue and motioned for him to come in.

Han Jiangxue walked in and said to the generals first: "Generals, this concubine didn't mean to interrupt your deliberations, but she encountered something that she had to say before, so she could only come in first and tell you." ”

"The princess is polite, Princess Lao told me." General Sun was the first to take the initiative this time.

The other generals followed suit.

Han Jiangxue didn't delay much, and after walking to Mo Li's side, he directly took out a letter and said: "This is sent from the capital, according to the person who sent the letter, this letter is the emperor's imperial pen, and it is the emperor's reply to the prince's request for the first battle of Beiyang for the generals in the army more than half a month ago." Originally, the concubine did not have the right to directly receive and read this letter, but the person who sent the letter directly sent the letter to the concubine, saying that it was enough to ask the concubine to present it to the prince, and then even the silver taper was confiscated and left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that if he walked slowly, something would chase them behind. ”

Speaking of this, Han Jiangxue showed a helpless face, and said with a little annoyance: "You also know that Concubine Ben had some holidays with the emperor, and this letter was sent very strangely, so I was worried that someone would pretend or secretly make other bad things, so I opened the letter for inspection first." After reading it, the concubine understood why the person who sent the letter did not dare to personally deliver the letter to the prince or the generals, but turned his hand and hurriedly took the opportunity to leave. ”

Hearing these words, all the generals became more curious about the content of the letter in Han Jiangxue's hand, and Han Jiangxue didn't sell much, and directly handed the letter to Mo Li on the side, letting Mo Li take a look at it first.

Mo Li looked at it, sighed with great emotion and shook his head, and after glancing at Han Jiangxue, he didn't say anything, and directly handed the letter to General Sun, who was closest to him, and motioned the generals to read the letter from their emperor for the victory in the first battle.

The generals took the letter one by one and read it, and soon their faces sank, although it was not a holy decree of the Eight Classics, but such a royal pen letter was completely different from ordinary food, and it could not be faked at all, and at a glance, it was known that it was indeed from Li Qing's handwriting, but the content of this reply did make everyone's hearts cold in half.
