In the Wei military camp, at this time, the soldiers were already grinding their fists and preparing to counterattack the Chu and Song coalition forces, but they were shocked by the news that their king was resting in place, and they all showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

Wei Ran came to ask for orders three times to attack the Chu and Song coalition forces, but he was also rejected by Wei Si three times.

Zilian couldn't stand the discussion of Wei Si from the soldiers in the barracks, and also came to inquire about Wei Si:

"Husband, we repelled the attack of the Chu and Song coalition forces this time, why don't you allow our army to take advantage of the situation to attack the Chu and Song coalition forces?"

Wei Si sighed and said:

"Alas, the soldiers don't understand the widow, why don't you understand the widow?"

Zi Lian was a little embarrassed:

"Xiaojun, I don't care about you and Da Wei!"

Wei Si then said:

"Well, I'll just explain it to you!"

Wei Si said:

"The army of our Wei State this time is mostly recruits, and our Wei State is now implementing a reward title system, although these recruits are brave in battle, but it is easy to get the merit and not listen to the order, if you rashly pursue the Chu and Song Dynasty army, even if you can achieve a small victory, but it is easier to be ambushed by the enemy, but you have suffered defeat."

Zi Lian also seemed to understand what Wei Si meant, and said:

"It turns out that you want to deliberately suppress the sharpness of these recruits, so that they can be more brave in the future, but if this continues, the soldiers will be in danger, and I heard that the Chu and Song coalition forces took advantage of our lack of time to pursue and organized a solid defense in Suishui, so if we want to attack them again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!"

Wei Si glanced at Meng Wan next to him:

"Sir, please explain to the queen too!"

At this time, Meng Wan drew a map of the current situation between the Chu and Song armies and the Wei army on the ground, and then pointed to the place where the Chu and Song armies joined forces and said:

"Now there are 180,000 people in the Chu and Song coalition forces here to defend our Wei State, divided into upper, middle and lower armies, all of which are stationed along Suishui, and this time it is the Shang Army that raids us, and it is also the army with the strongest combat ability, and now it is June, and it has begun to enter the rising water period, it is because of the rising water of Suishui, so our Wei State does not dare to cross Suishui to attack them for a while!"

Zi Lian asked:

"Then why don't we just make a detour to attack the Song capital Suiyang this time?"

Meng Wan replied:

"The city wall of Suiyang in the Song capital is strong, not inferior to our beams, and it is also separated by Suishui, if our Wei State can't take Ningling, even if it reaches Suiyang City, I'm afraid it will be useless!"

Zi Lian asked again:

"Then what do you and the king think, sir?"

Meng Wan pointed his finger at Sui Shui:

"Since the Chu and Song coalition forces want to compete with our Wei army with Suishui, can't our Wei State also use Suishui to deal with the Chu and Song coalition forces? And now it is the flood season, although the amount of water is not large, but the amount of water in the Yellow River is large? ”

Zi Lian was stunned for a moment:

"You guys are trying to divert the Yellow River to flood the Chu and Song coalition forces?"

Meng Wan nodded:

"Yes!"

Zilian was a little worried:

"But if the Yellow River is diverted, isn't it our beam that will be the first to be flooded?"

Wei Si smiled lightly on the side:

"In the past two years, the widow has already ordered people to build countless culverts near the girder, just to prevent the girder from being flooded, so this time the water of the Yellow River to Suiyang will not threaten the girder!"

Zilian also let go of his heart:

"That's good!"

Then he asked:

"But husband, why don't you explain to the soldiers that you want to lead the Yellow River to Suishui, when the soldiers know that the king wants to flood the Chu and Song coalition forces, then the soldiers will not be as eager to fight the Chu and Song coalition forces as they are now!"

Wei Si walked over and patted Zilian on the shoulder:

"Lian'er, you are still too simple, this matter of diverting the water of the Yellow River to Suishui to flood the Chu and Song coalition forces is a military priority, how can it be easily revealed to people, if the Chu and Song troops know, isn't the strategy of the widow and Mr. Meng Wan in vain?"

Zi Lian nodded:

"Yes!"

Wei Si said again:

"The widow is actually honing these soldiers now, the widow doesn't want to be at that time, after the Chu and Song coalition forces were flooded, these soldiers were eager to make meritorious contributions to pursue the two coalition forces, and when the time came, although we led the Yellow River to defeat the Chu and Song coalition forces, but their own army will also be flooded and there will be casualties, and our Great Wei soldiers can no longer withstand these losses because of the continuous wars, which is why the widows gave up the method of winning in frontal battles, and turned to the method of reducing losses by attacking with water!"

Zi Lian glanced at Wei Si with a smile:

"Husband, it turns out that you think so, then Xiaojun and I can rest assured, the soldiers don't have to worry about you, husband, I will find a way to appease you, the king!"

The next day, Zi Lian, also wearing armor, came to the barracks and patrolled around, and naturally heard some dissatisfaction among the soldiers during his actions.

I heard a stout soldier say to a freckled soldier beside him:

"Our king did not attack this time with a great opportunity to defeat the Chu and Song army, but ordered us to rest in this place, so that we can rest and recuperate, and when the Chu and Song army has completely arranged the defense line in Suishui, at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to win!"

Freckled Soldier also said:

"Yes, when I joined the army in the past, I heard that our king's army was almost undefeated, so I came to join the army and win the battle regardless of my father, wife, and children, but now I find that our king does not understand military affairs at all, and he is delaying the warplane!"

The strong master soldier sighed:

"Yes, I heard that General Wei Ran also asked to go to war several times this time, but the king just didn't allow it, alas, it seems that our Wei State is probably going to fail this time to attack the Song Dynasty?"

Zi Lian walked over to the two soldiers and said:

"What are you talking about?"

When the two soldiers saw Zilian for the first time, they naturally didn't know each other, but they only heard what the freckled soldiers said:

"Who are you, why do you talk so weirdly?"

At this time, the guard beside Zi Lian immediately came forward and shouted at the freckled soldier:

"Bold, you dare to say such wild words to the queen, you don't want to live anymore?"

When the freckled soldier heard that the person in front of him was actually the queen's mother, he was so frightened that he knelt down with the strong soldiers on the side, and kept kowtowing to Zilian and apologizing.

Zi Lian was indeed a little angry when he heard the freckled soldier say that he was yin and yang, but when he saw the soldier kowtowing and admitting his mistake, he was also angry, so he said:

"Don't knock, I don't have the right to punish you in the future, but I hope you will remember that you will not spread rumors and lie in the future, you know?"

The two soldiers hurriedly replied:

"Okay, the little one knows it's wrong!"

"The little one knows it's wrong!"

Zi Lian asked the two of them:

"Where did you get that rumor from?"

Neither soldier dared to reply.

So Zi Lian asked again:

"Don't you really say it? If you don't say it again, I'm going to hand you over to General Meng Wan for ** crimes! ”

The freckled soldier only said resignedly:

"Back to the queen mother, we all heard General Wei Ran and General Ji Ji discussing in the military camp at this time, and we started to talk about it!"

Wei Si said:

"It turns out that these rumors are from Wei Ran and General Ji Ji, okay, let's go meet them now!"

So Zi Lian came all the way to the military tent of Wei Ran and Ji Ji, and saw that the two of them were packing their luggage at this time, so Zi Lian walked in and asked:

"Two generals, on the eve of this great battle, why are you packing your bags here?"

When Wei Ran and Ji Ji saw that it was the queen's mother, they hurriedly came over to pay their respects.

I only heard Wei Ran reply:

"Queen Niangniang, our Wei army has been stationed here to prepare for war for more than three months, and the soldiers are all holding a heart waiting for the arrival of the king, with us to kill the enemy and win, but the king has been coming for more than half a month, seeing that the Chu and Song coalition forces attacked our Wei army and were repulsed, such a good fighter, but the king ordered us not to pursue, and prepare for war in place, I think the king means that he doesn't want to fight, so we are ready to pack up and wait to return to Daliang with the king!"

Zi Lian smiled lightly at Wei Ran:

"Then according to General Wei Ran's words, are you not very satisfied with the king?"

Wei Ran hurriedly replied:

"How dare a minister be dissatisfied with the king? The minister just blamed himself for not having the talent of the two generals Wu Qi and Pang Juan! ”

Zi Lian couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas, you only think about killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions and achieving your own fame for a lifetime, but you can't understand the king's heart, why doesn't the king want to win the battle? It's just that in the king's heart, our Wei State can't tolerate any sacrifice and mishap now, General Wei Ran, there are some things that the king can't explain to you, I hope you can understand the king, anyway, you have to believe the king, this battle of the Song Dynasty, our Wei State will only win a big victory, and it will never be possible to retreat! ”

Wei Ran and Ji Ji seemed to understand something at this time, and only listened to Ji Ji say:

"It seems that the king did not intend to win the battle this time, it turned out that he was waiting for a better opportunity, it seems that we really misunderstood the king!"

Wei Ran also said:

"Yes, it's all my fault for being impulsive and brainless, so I said these disrespectful words to the king, I must go to the king tomorrow to plead guilty!"

Zi Lian looked at Wei Ran's remorseful look:

"General Wei Ran, our king is generous, and we don't care about this, otherwise will you still be standing here now, General? Go and comfort the soldiers, just don't let them talk nonsense! ”

Wei Ran nodded:

"Okay, I'll go and warn the soldiers now, to atone for my gaffes!"

Zi Lian nodded:

"Okay, I'll accompany you later, but try not to be too much to them later, after all, these are all our Great Wei's soldiers!"

So Zi Lian and Wei Ran together defended all the soldiers, and these soldiers slowly calmed down and stopped talking about those words in vain.

Wei Si learned the news, and when he went to bed with Zilian at night, he said to him:

"Lian'er, you are really powerful, you can actually make us impulsive and belligerent Wei soldiers calm down like this!"

Zi Lian replied:

"This is all the credit of you, husband, if it weren't for your ears not listening to off-the-books affairs to tolerate them, Xiaojun I wouldn't be able to persuade these people!"
