Tang Ye sighed in his heart.

But he also understood that as long as he was willing, he could use his ambition to upgrade Liang Bai and them.

It's just that the reason why Tang Ye didn't do this now was because the ambition value was not enough, and secondly, because he felt that the current Liang Bai might be close to the third level.

Even if you don't have to give them an active upgrade, they can automatically level up when they cultivate to a certain level.

And if it costs him 200 Ambition to upgrade now, in case he is about to reach level 3, then these 200 Ambition will be too wasteful.

It's better to wait for him to spend 300 ambition points to get him directly to level 4 when he first reaches level 3! This allows you to use ambition points with maximum efficiency.

Just as Tang Ye was thinking about these plans for the future, Wang Lai didn't know when he stood beside him.

Tang Ye came back to his senses, glanced at the other party, and asked, "How is the situation in Hongmeng City now?" ”

Wang Lai's face was gloomy, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "Hongmeng City...... It's already lost......"

"What?!" Tang Ye's ears were like thunder, and he looked at Wang Lai with wide eyes, his face was incredulous!

However, looking at Wang Lai's serious expression, and the fact that it was impossible for the other party to joke about this kind of thing, Tang Ye was surprised and finally gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, Wang Lai said slowly: "Just this morning, news came from Hongmeng City, saying that Liu Pei abandoned the city with 30,000 remnants of troops and fled to Jiaxing City in the rear. ”

Tang Ye was silent for a while when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "We returned to Bazhi City yesterday afternoon, and even Hongmeng City, facing an army of 200,000, only defended for one more day than us......

"But......" Wang Lai changed his words and said, "I heard from the city lord Liu Jin at the meeting that Liu Pei is a strategic retreat. The defenders of the city originally had 80,000 soldiers, plus 5,000 Huwei troops, equivalent to 130,000 troops. ”

"After a day and a night of fierce fighting, Liu Pei now has 30,000 troops left and 2,000 tiger troops. Lost 50,000 soldiers. But the enemy was also forcibly consumed nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses! ”

Hearing this data, Tang Ye was shocked again.

"You mean, Liu Pei is planning to use the city defense battle to consume the opponent's troops? Once the city is almost undefended, break through and flee to the next city. In this way, the opponent's forces can be continuously consumed? ”

After thinking about the other party's meaning, Tang Ye said his thoughts.

Wang Lai smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's pretty much it. It is equivalent to exchanging the loss of the city for the loss of the opponent's troops. ”

Tang Ye nodded and said, "Although this is a method. However, as the saying goes, it is easy to defend a city, but it is difficult to attack a city. If you give up a city now, you will face the same problem if you want to fight it back in the future. ”

Wang Lai groaned slightly when he heard this, and then nodded: "Indeed." There is a feeling of drinking water to quench thirst. ”

"It's not enough to drink to quench your thirst, after all, solving the current problem is the most important thing. As for bringing the city back...... If Liu Pei can stabilize in this war, then with his fierce generals and capable ministers, it will be a matter of time before he fights back. So from an objective point of view, this is also a good strategy. ”

After Tang Ye made an objective analysis, he guessed that this strategy might have been set by that Shangguan Di.

"And the further back you go, the less the enemy's forces are, the more difficult it will be to attack the city, and the less likely it will be that the city in the rear will be captured. What Liu Pei has to do is to minimize the enemies in every city as much as possible! ”
