Chapter 40: Lao Tzu's Soldiers
The last small force of the Tielin army let Zhao Liang and Xu Chang shoot to death.
On the battlefield, there is almost no living mouth of the Iron Plough Army.
Only then did Ye Youhuan stop firing arrows and take his subordinates to clean up the battlefield.
Ignore the mutilated corpses at first glance, and make up for the suspicious-looking corpses with a few knives to prevent the enemy from cheating to death.
"We didn't need to do anything." Zhong Ling said in surprise beside Ye Youhuan.
"That's the beauty of war." Ye Youhuan said unfathomably.
"These people are too stupid." Zhong Ling couldn't help but complain about these cavalry.
"How can it be stupid?" Ye Youhuan said with some dissatisfaction: "They are one of the most famous armies in the world, the Iron Plough Army. ”
Zhong Ling looked at the corpses of the Iron Plough Army all over the ground, and said in disgust: "Then why is it so weak!" ”
"Didn't you notice?" Ye Youhuan said proudly: "It's not that they're too weak, it's that I'm too strong." ”
"I remember when you first dug the pit, you didn't expect cavalry to raid the camp, did you?" Zhong Ling said: "You are obviously lucky. ”
Ye Youhuan laughed and said: "Luck is also part of strength, if I am unlucky, how can I fall from such a high cliff at the beginning, how can I not fall to death." ”
"If you're lucky, how can Princess Jinyu be defeated, more than 10,000 people will be killed by more than 2,000 people and lose their armor." Zhong Ling couldn't help but complain.
Hearing Zhong Ling's words, Ye Youhuan put away his smile.
He worried, "The princess has been hit one after another lately. ”
"Isn't it!" We don't want to irritate her lately.
"Hmm!"
Leaving the matter of cleaning the battlefield to his subordinates, Ye Youhuan wanted to take Zhong Ling to visit the princess.
When the two returned to the three-story building, they were told that the princess was sleeping.
"The princess is physically and mentally tired, let her sigh."
didn't see the princess, Ye Youhuan was a little regretful.
He had something in his heart that he wanted to say to the princess.
Ye Youhuan felt that the only thing the princess relied on now was herself and her army.
Although the princess is also pitiful, this is definitely a good opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price.
didn't see the princess, Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling rested separately.
But they were stopped.
It was the civil and military ministers around the princess who stopped Xiao Qian.
These people all want to find Ye Youhuan, and they want to have a good chat about what to do today, whether they want to retreat back to Jingguo.
"I'm tired." Ye Youhuan only said three words, and then turned to leave.
"Lord Ye!" Old Prime Minister Jiang stopped Ye Youhuan.
"What's wrong?" Ye Youhuan asked curiously.
"We should sit down together and talk about military affairs, and we should deepen exchanges and promote communication." Prime Minister Jiang Cheng persuaded.
"Talking about the military?" Ye Youhuan glanced around.
When he was the commander of the battalion, these army commanders raised their eyes one by one.
What is the result, one by one, they are all useless.
Ye Youhuan said disdainfully: "Talking about the military, do you have soldiers?" ”
"That's not right for you to say that!" Liu Dang, who had a good impression of Ye Youhuan before, couldn't listen to it either, and defended: "Since we can sit in this position, then there is no merit and hard work, and there is no hard work and fatigue, how can you look down on people like this." ”“
"Does fatigue work?" Ye Youhuan asked: "I will be very tired if I find a few women to fight for three days and three nights, but what is the use of that, can fatigue defeat the opponent?" Do you really think you're the one who led thousands of people to fight? ”
After Ye Youhuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Now in the barracks, he is the only one who has soldiers in his hands.
Ye Youhuan felt that he didn't need to pay attention to these big and small officials in front of him.
Especially after Prime Minister Jiang Cheng put himself together and wanted to kill the prisoners of war with his own hands, Ye Youhuan and these people had no good impression.
……
The princess wakes up in the evening, but she is still in a state of confusion and in poor spirits.
It wasn't until night that she came to her senses and gathered the crowd together.
After Ye Youhuan saw the princess, he reported: "Your Highness, the minister has all repelled the incoming enemies, please rest assured." ”
"Brother Ye, you don't have to be so polite." The princess did not treat each other as kings and ministers, but affectionately called Ye Youhuan her brother.
"Princess, what are we going to do next?" He asked, "Do you want to retreat to Yepikwan and hold Jeju?" ”
The territory of Yan is not big or small, there are four states in total, Jeju is the southern coastal state, it is the defense line when the princess and others come, and now most of the land in Jeju has been recovered by the princess.
"Are you going back to Jeju?" The princess was stunned.
"This is the idea of Zhuge An, the commander of my battalion, I asked him to carefully explain the pros and cons to the princess." Ye Youhuan said.
"Good!"
After the princess agreed, Zhuge began to talk about the benefits of retreating to Jeju.
"Jeju is fertile for thousands of miles, and there is the benefit of fish and salt, if the princess can lead the army to defend Yepi Pass, she can cultivate and recuperate in Jeju, and the matter of recovering the country will be slowly planned in ......the future."
Zhuge Ankou is like a hanging river, gushing endlessly.
The people around him nodded their heads one after another.
When he finished speaking, Ye Youhuan was ready to open his mouth and promise the princess that he would hand over Yepi Pass to him for defense, and no one would be able to break through the city pass.
But before Ye Youhuan could speak, Guo Yi on the side spoke first.
He knelt on the ground with a 'poof' and said with a resolute face: "My subordinates must guard the city pass and ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
"Are you sure you won't let me guard such an important city gate?" Ye Youhuan said in surprise, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Is this stupid fork too self-conscious?" ”
"Brother Ye, we can defend the city together." Guo Yi said.
"Where did you come from to defend the city?" Ye Youhuan reminded Guo Yi that he was killed and lost his armor.
"Speaking of soldiers, we courtiers just have an idea to discuss with the princess." Guo Yi said.
"What thoughts?" The princess wondered.
"After discussing with Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, our Minister of Civil and Military Affairs felt that one of Lord Ye's armies should be divided into five parts, and each of them should be led by a military commander, and after retreating to Yepi Pass, there will still be a garrison in Yepi Pass, and then the five armies will be replenished with men." After Guo Yi finished speaking, he explained: "In this way, our army can be more flexible, and Lord Ye has no experience in leading troops, and I am afraid that I will encounter trouble when marching with more than 2,000 people!" ”
“……”
Ye Youhuan listened to Guo Yi's words, and immediately became angry.
"Lao Tzu's soldiers, give them to you?" Ye Youhuan was angry and directly called herself 'Lao Tzu'.
Guo Yi felt that Ye Youhuan was disrespectful, his face was ugly but he didn't attack, and asked: "The army command room is better than the battalion commanders under you." ”
Prime Minister Jiang Cheng on the side opened his mouth and said: "This time the sneak attack by the Iron Plough Army is something that no one expected, in terms of military ability, Guo Yi is definitely the strongest here, after all, he is a famous general." ”
