No matter how strong a man is, he will change because of some people or some things, especially the feelings for the continuation of his life, which is irreplaceable, after all, people are emotional animals, and they will have their most cherished things, which is precisely the greatest embodiment of human nature...

Some exaggerated propaganda is a necessary means of politics, the purpose is to guide the public opinion, after all, this era is limited by the inconvenience of transportation and communication, most of the people can only rely on rumors, mutual transmission, to spread falsehoods, and eventually demonize their competitors, in fact, these things have little to do with ordinary people, but the more irrelevant things, the more people like to listen, it is also a kind of idle pastime, but the impact is very huge, It can be seen from the comparison of the strength of the two sides that it may not be too obvious in a short time, but after a long time, the advantages and disadvantages will be revealed immediately.

The bear tribe in the Central Plains is a representative of benevolence in the eyes of others, whether it is true or not, it can be seen by people with a discerning eye, but wealth is indeed visible to everyone, and the Jiang tribe is a tragic representative, a tribe that has been robbed of its home by the invaders, resists hard, and does not give in to death, such a will is also seen by everyone, and it is precisely the Jiuli tribe from the Eastern Regions that has become the embodiment of the devil, careless of human life, and does all kinds of evil.

These three countries have different public opinion orientations, it is obvious that someone did it deliberately, and the purpose is also very clear, Chi Youjun is not unaware of this, but he can't help it, after all, this is not the Eastern Regions, as an outsider, there will be a certain amount of rejection, plus he took the initiative to start a war, a little instigated, immediately became angry, even if he explained more, it was useless, the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, so he could only use strong force to solve it, but this is like entering a dead loop, it can't be solved at all, and the harder you fight, the bigger the rebound.

And the bear tribe and the Jiang tribe are different, they are native to the Central Plains tribe, they have occupied a favorable terrain from the beginning, and they have been inherited for hundreds of years, and they have long been rooted, even if some things usually happen that are not particularly fair to the people, but under the guidance of public opinion such as foreign invasion, the people will definitely still choose to believe them, not invaders, and the result of this kind of going on is obvious, it is very unfavorable to the Jiuli tribe.

And with the stalemate of the war, without the initial momentum, the soldiers of Jiuli also appeared war-weary, morale was greatly affected, after all, it was so far away from home, and it took so long to come out, many people began to feel homesick, the situation of the entire Jiuli Department was very bad, and in turn to the other two departments, their situation was completely different, after the initial unprepared reaction, they finally reacted, made full use of the advantages of geographical advantages, let the Jiuli Department continue to deepen, lengthen the front, so that the supply of grain and grass in the Jiuli Department had a big problemIf an army loses food and grass, then this army is not far from defeat.

At the beginning, Chi You Jun dared to go out so decisively, and also took into account the problem of going deep behind enemy lines and the supply of grain and grass, and he also came up with a solution that he thought was safe, that is, to take grain on the spot, the method was really practical at the beginning, many small tribes in the Central Plains suffered, and under the threat of force, they provided a part of the grain and grass for the Jiuli Department, so Chi You was not too worried.

But as time goes by, this problem has been fully exposed, it turns out that many small tribes know about the burning and looting of the Jiuli tribe, and they have begun to move inward, but I can't hide, until the Jiuli tribe arrives, the rest is just an empty and broken house, they want these things and it is useless, this is also a problem that Chi You didn't expect at first, he only thinks that the soldiers of the Jiuli tribe are extremely brave on the battlefield, and the other two countries together are not opponents, I didn't expect that war will never rely only on force, more means behind things, from this point of view, he has already lost.

And there is a very important problem, that is, the talent reserve, Chi You's reputation spreads, people with lofty ideals will never choose, the Central Plains, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, in order to resist foreign invasion, many powerful people have gone out of the mountains and joined the other two countries, Chi You has already felt the sense of difficulty when fighting, and he is no longer fighting like he did at the beginning, and he has also deeply experienced the convenience of talents, if it were not for Shang Yang to help him, he Jiuli would not have been able to defeat the Jiang tribe, maybe he is still blocked at the gate of the Central Plains.

The war was launched too suddenly, this year is to lay a lot of places, but only that, he no longer dares to continue to advance, the terrain of the Central Plains is complicated, maybe there will be an enemy ambush ahead, ready to catch turtles in the urn, and then forward, once there is a problem with the grain and grass supply line, the consequences are unimaginable, the soldiers can not fight hungry.

Now he has been stationed here for a few months, the first is to see if there is anyone who is not afraid of death to come up and fight, of course, Chi You also knows that this possibility is basically non-existent, and the second is that he really can't bear to retreat, although he knows that this is the best choice, otherwise everything will be unknown, and he has always been full of confidence, he doesn't know what to do, after all, he is not representing himself, but the Eastern Regions is hiding from the overall interests of the alliance, Rao is a figure like Chi Youjun, and he does not dare to make up his mind easily.

As long as you choose to retreat, the place you have laid will change hands immediately, and it will not be as easy as the first time to regain it, then the efforts of more than a year have been in vain, and so much manpower, material resources and energy have been spent, but in the end they have no land rights, too much to lose, and it is not easy to explain in the alliance, although Chiyou does not need to give them anything, but he is always unwilling, and his desire to settle in the Central Plains for so many years is about to come true, it is really unwilling.

It seems that he is not fully prepared, and he underestimated the other two countries, and the war is no longer the way he knows how to play, diversity, complexity, variability, this kind of cumbersome change is happening at any time, so the era of fighting by force has really passed, Chiyou also feels old for the first time, some can't keep up with the times, in fact, his age is not very old, not confused, even younger than the patriarch of the other two countries, just in the prime of life, but the war is changing imperceptibly, is what makes him really feel difficult, and this is also an opportunity for military talent to show up.

Therefore, Chiyou must make a decision as soon as possible, either choose to retreat, give up everything you have now, and don't care about your own losses, just take the lesson of failure, increase experience, and prepare for the next time, to tell the truth, in fact, retreat now, the loss is not big, at least the elite troops are saved, this is the capital of the comeback, or choose to continue the attack, then the problem is the enemy's ambush, the change of tactics in the attack, and the defense of their own supply lines, etc., the deeper you go, the more dangerous it is, He couldn't imagine what the enemy would do behind him, or what powerful characters were waiting.

There is only one Shang Yang under his command, speaking of which Shang Yang does have great talents, but he is not very good at military affairs, most of his proficient ones are internal affairs, governance, and specialization, and he can't all be counted on, he now needs a talent who can coordinate the overall situation to point out the direction for himself, and also needs a special military talent to lead the whole army for himself, but unfortunately there is no one now, he can only rely on himself.

This is the change of Chi Youjun, such a character has to say that it has a lot to do with his favorite little daughter, not so blind, willful, and calmly face problems, as long as people think, they may find their own shortcomings, as long as they dare to face it, it will change, as long as it can change, there will be hope.

Now the situation here is not very good, and there are problems in the Taiyun Alliance in the Eastern Regions, which also prompts Chi Youjun to be ruthless, abandon everything he has now, withdraw to the Eastern Regions, do not take risks, and make all preparations for the expedition next time, after all, the Eastern Regions must not be chaotic, maybe the other two countries have already sent personnel to do things, they are not afraid of big things, the more chaotic the better, and if Chi You does not sit in the base camp, he is really a little worried.

Not long after Shang Feng returned to the Eastern Regions, Chi You also called his number one military advisor, Shang Yang, and said his decision, Shang Yang was still a little shocked at the beginning, but he didn't expect Chi You Jun to be able to let go like this, the Chi You he came into contact with has always been a big grin, not good at scheming a person, who knows that it is not as simple as it seems, thoughtful, just not easy to express, and the sensitivity to politics, he is also far behind, saying that if Chi You is a simple person, how can he become the co-master of the Eastern Regions and unify the Eastern Regions, Although it is only nominal, it is also very good, from ancient times to the present, no one has done it, I don't see that the northern regions, southern Xinjiang, etc. are all messes, and even the Central Plains have not completed the unification, so you can see its power in comparison, and at the same time divide different alliance areas, in order to rule the Eastern Regions, it is really powerful, and you can't think of a better way than this.

And now he can decisively put it down, is a true monarch, Shang Yang secretly glad that he chose the right person, if it weren't for the lack of preparation this time, then this expedition to the Central Plains, there will definitely be some achievements, it's a pity, but it's okay, eat a trench and grow a wisdom, and next time you go on an expedition, you will definitely achieve a greater victory.

Shang Yang simply thought about the pros and cons, then thought of the key point of the problem, secretly admired Chi You's power, he also knew Chi You's character, he would not raise objections, he just needed to do a good job of what Chi You Jun explained, that is, how to convey it internally, what to prevent externally, these little things, if everything has to be done by Chi You, then what is the use of him? Therefore, Shangyang is very clear about its positioning.
