Chapter 348: Breaking the Siege
Lu Li didn't want to fight a frontal war with the army brought by Zhou Guan, because after Xiong Qianshui's attack, Ling Cheng's vitality was greatly damaged, and now the people's hearts were not even stable, and a rash war would only make them fail, and there would even be huge losses, so Lu Li decided to send a flexible ranger to rely on his understanding of the nearby terrain and terrain to harass Zhou Guan's army, so as to steal time for Ling Cheng to recuperate.
He thought that the plan was good, but An Xiabai had a different opinion on it.
However, An Xiabai didn't say it explicitly, because she felt that she was not a person in the barracks after all, and she always put forward strategic orders and assignments, I was afraid that the soldiers would obey on the surface, but they would be dissatisfied in their hearts, so An Xiabai didn't directly say what she thought in her heart, and only said it when Jiang Shi asked by chance.
"Shouldn't you recuperate?" Jiang Shi seemed to be very interested in her thoughts, "Ling Cheng hasn't come out of the shadow of the previous war yet, why is it not suitable for recuperation?" ”
"Because the environment didn't give us time."
After all, the person in front of him is his own grandmother, and he really loves him, so An Xiabai has no scruples in front of her.
Since Jiang Shi asked, she said clearly.
"Although our Lingcheng and Luoyang City are allied, the actual relationship has not yet been determined, Lingcheng is now in the world, it can be regarded as an isolated island, and it can't be sustained for too long by the army of Zhouguan. The opposite of us is Zhou Guan, who has the backing of King Li, and Zhang Huifeng, the warden of Lincheng County, to help, and their supplies are endless, which means that if we continue to drag the war down, we will only drag ourselves down. ”
Speaking of this, An Xiabai paused, and only spoke again after a while.
"If it drags on any longer, there will be no food and grass supply, and Lingcheng will become chaotic."
Jiang's heart moved slightly, and he looked at An Xiabai with a complicated expression and asked, "Since you have thought about it so much, why don't you just tell General Lu what you think, if he knows what you think in your heart, he will definitely stand on your side, right?" But you don't seem to say anything? ”
An Xiabai shook his head and sighed and said, "I'm just thinking about it, my husband has been in the military camp for a long time, I'm afraid I have already considered these problems." ”
An Xiabai didn't want to disturb Lu Li's heart, so she didn't tell him what she thought in her heart, but Jiang's was different, she looked at things from a bigger angle than An Xiabai, so after leaving the Lu family and going back, the first thing she did was to call Li Wenfeng, repeat An Xiabai's words, and let him discuss with Lu Li in person.
"Rather than continuing to recuperate, I also think it's better to chase after the victory." Jiang said with a smile.
Li Wenfeng went to see Lu Li on the same day.
He is a person from the military, he has been in the military camp for a long time, and he has gathered the directness and bravery of the men on his body, so when he speaks, he never knows what it means to be subtle.
As soon as he saw Lu Li, he expressed his opinion, and persuaded Lu Li to talk to An Xiabai more about something in the future.
"The husband and wife are intimate, and there should be more discussions about things, but don't think that the plans she said are meaningless just because Xia Bai has never been in the army."
Lu Li, who was inexplicably trained, was a little confused.
However, he quickly figured out the trick, and when he heard that An Xiabai had seen Jiang during the day, Lu Li was a little annoyed, and he was not annoyed that An Xiabai proposed a plan, but that An Xiabai had something in his heart but was unwilling to confess to himself, so he had to go around the command Li Wenfeng to discuss with him, so when he entered the door, his face was a little bad.
An Xiabai is so smart, from the expression on his face, and just a few words, he guessed the reason for the matter, it must be Jiang Shiba's own thoughts told Li Wenfeng, and then Li Wenfeng went to see Lu Li!
"Husband," An Xiabai personally poured tea for Lu Li, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Why is your face so bad, is there something that is difficult to solve in the barracks?" ”
"Why do I have a bad complexion, can't Madame guess?"
An Xiabai frowned, deliberately opened his eyes wide and pretended to be very innocent.
The already clear and bright eyes are even brighter and better looking under his deliberate dress.
Lu Li's mind moved slightly.
"Forget it, I'll be honest."
Then he made it clear what he thought in his heart, as well as his dissatisfaction with An Xiabai not confessing to him.
At the end of the words, he frowned and glanced at An Xiabai, as if he was a little disappointed: "Madam, I have always treated you with all my heart, no matter what is in my heart, but whenever you ask, I will not say it, but why don't you treat me like this?" I care more about my wife's heart for me than the so-called face, just like General Li said earlier, husband and wife should be intimate and should not have any secrets, but you ......"
An Xiabai knew that he was unhappy, so he hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Lu Li's waist tightly with his soft arms, and explained in a low voice: "It's not that I haven't been in the army, and I haven't really fought on the battlefield, so I'm not confident in my own ideas, why is my husband angry?" In the future, if I have something in my heart, I will tell my husband directly that I will never hide my thoughts again. ”
After getting a satisfactory answer, the expression on Lu Li's face finally eased.
Since what we are talking about today is the next plan, An Xiabai also has an opinion on this, and it is necessary to discuss with An Xiabai at that step.
"I decided to follow Madame's idea, take advantage of the victory to pursue, it is best to be able to defeat them, no matter how bad it is, rubbing their spirit is also very good."
An Xia smiled and nodded.
Early the next morning, she left the mansion to see Shen Ya.
Ruqing was also in the tent, I don't know what was going on, the expressions of the two of them were very haggard, as if they hadn't slept all night, and there was a touch of blue under their eyes.
An Xiabai looked very distressed.
"Isn't it too sad to live in the barracks? Why don't you live in my house? ”
Since joining the army, Ruqing and Shen Ya have been living in the barracks and sharing weal and woe with the soldiers in order to integrate into the army as soon as possible, although the days in the barracks are not too difficult, but in the eyes of An Xiabai, it is still a little sad, she doesn't understand that there can be a better life, but Ruqing and Shen Ya are reluctant to go.
After all, one of them is a strategist, and the other is a young girl's family, even if they live in the general's mansion, no one will be absolutely inappropriate, right?
Unexpectedly, Ruqing still chose to shake her head.
"Shen Ya and I both came to the barracks suddenly, it is the critical time when we need to cultivate a relationship with the soldiers, how can we live in your mansion The feelings that have been cultivated with great difficulty these days can't just be abolished, so Xia Bai, you don't have to persuade us to go, we will live here, we will not go anywhere."
As soon as Ruqing's words fell, the corners of Shen Ya's lips hooked up a faint smile, and then nodded.
Although the movements are very slow, and the words are very light, the firmness shown in the words and deeds can be felt by An Xiabai.
Since they insisted on living in the barracks and sharing the weal and woe with the soldiers, let them go, and I could not force them to do what they did not want to do.
An Xiabai looked at the expressions on their faces, sighed helplessly, and then said what he meant.
Shen Ya was squeezed out by the soldiers in the army An Xiabai is very clear, she came here today because of this matter: "Today, the general should convene a meeting and ask all the soldiers in the army about the plan of how to attack the Zhouguan army next, and then Shen Ya will go up to behave well, I have a plan here, maybe I can help you." ”
Shen Ya tightened his brows, took two steps back, and waved his hand to say no while retreating.
As a strategist, how can he use other people's strategies to show it?
"This is absolutely impossible, I believe that as long as I work in the barracks with my feet on the ground, the soldiers will definitely change their opinion of me, this matter can be done slowly, I can wait, but I must not do it with Xia Bai's plan to exchange the soldiers for the soldiers to change their opinion of me." Shen Ya waved his sleeves and said, "What is mine is mine, not mine, even if I propose it myself, it will be seen through, so I must not do this." ”
As soon as these words came out, An Xiabai and Ruqing glanced at each other.
Sometimes the scholar's style is still a little troublesome.
Ruqing is not good at persuasion, she is only good at doing it directly, so it is up to An Xiabai to persuade Shen Ya to nod.
"Shen Ya, what you said is not right, what is called someone else or your own people, you and Ruqing came all the way to Lingcheng to join me, of course I have to pay for you, you were excluded by the soldiers in the barracks, I think this matter is probably also the general's heart disease, let you put forward opinions is not only to help you break the siege, but also to help the general get rid of the heart disease, this is obviously a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone, why are you unwilling?"
Shen Ya's heart moved slightly, and he originally wanted to say something more, but before he could say anything, he saw An Xiabai wave his hand and said, "Just do what I say." ”
"That's it!" Ruqing, who finally found a chance to speak, hurriedly chimed in and said, "Xia Bai is also kind and wants to help you, how can you keep refusing it, don't you treat Xia Bai as your own?" I think you should follow Xia Bai's plan. ”
"But this plan was not something I came up with after all, how can I reflect my talents? Even if the soldiers are willing to agree with me because of this plan, it will be a temporary thing, and it will not last long......"
Ruqing sighed, stood on tiptoe and raised her hand to lightly tap on the top of Shen Ya's head.
"I used to hear people say that most people are pedantic, I don't believe it, I think you are an exception, but now I see it with my own eyes to really believe, you are indeed pedantic! Shen Ya, think about it carefully, you are not the kind of person who has no talent, don't you have the slightest confidence in yourself? The plan to borrow Xia Bai is just to make the soldiers agree with you temporarily, and whether they are willing to continue to trust you in the future depends on you to show yourself! ”
Under the persuasion of Ruqing and An Xiabai, Shen Ya finally chose to nod.
"I listen to you, when today's meeting is held, I will mention Xia Bai's plan to them."
