In this battle, the number of casualties in the Ming Dynasty was less than that of the Japanese Kou, much less, and Fan Yujun was a historical evaluation or in my own opinion, the Ming Dynasty lost.

Because this battle knocked out the courage and fighting spirit of a person, and this person is the supreme commander of the entire Anti-Japanese Aid Korea - Li Rusong!

A warrior loses his fighting spirit and puts himself in danger on the battlefield; When the commander of a unit loses its fighting spirit, this army will become a drag on friendly forces, and when the supreme commander of the war loses his fighting spirit, then the best outcome of the war is stagnation.

In the captain's room, Li Rusong was silent, looking out the window with a somewhat blurred and divergent look, the hand holding the cup stopped in mid-air, trembling slightly.

I watched him for a long time and he didn't react. So I turned my head and glanced at Li Rumei deeply, this wise and brave general also looked worried, looking at me with a lot of content in his eyes.

We shook our heads almost at the same time, and then I took my eyes away from Li Rumei's face, and turned to Li Ning, Yang Yuan, Zu Chengxun, and Zha Dashou next to me, my gaze slid over their faces, and several people had different expressions, obviously thoughtful.

The only thing that is the same is that no one speaks.

I smiled coldly in my heart, when I was proud, my eyes were empty, when I was frustrated, I lost my soul, and when I was disappointed, I was in a snake's shadow, what a thing!

Seriously, I'm not obligated to get used to them, especially when my advice to them wasn't accepted and now I try to help them and I don't get a response.

Of course, I can't be guilty of conflict with them, but when I look at Lan, the mocking smile on the corners of my eyebrows and mouth is undisguised. I'm sure anyone who still has blood in their hearts will be furious at the sight of this smile.

Although it is fleeting, it is still seen clearly by people with a heart - this is what I hope for, I can't just look at Li Rusong in a daze, but in fact do nothing.

Li Rumei is one of the people who saw it, and she is also the most important witness, and she is also a high-level general with the most complicated feelings.

Why is it complicated? As a general, he held the same opinion as me at the Pyongyang meeting and opposed sending troops to Wang Jing. After the opinion was vetoed, Li Rumei did not wait passively, but actively communicated with me and planned the cover retreat last night.

He had reason to be angry, and he had reason to dispute the general's negative attitude, but he didn't—because he was also Li Rusong's younger brother and a member of the Li family, which made his position very awkward. Especially after seeing my expression, it was clear that it was time for him to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Japanese thieves are huge, but our army is one as ten, and the debate is not enough to be afraid. But the difficulty is that the logistics and supplies ......can't keep up," Li Rumei's tone of voice was directed at everyone present, but her eyes were staring directly at me.

I knew what he was trying to say, but I didn't say anything and continued to listen to him express his thoughts.

Seeing that I didn't interrupt him, Li Rumei gave me a grateful look, because I had every reason to interrupt his speech.

"Right now, our supply pressure is high, and the supply lines of the Japanese are also struggling, so my suggestion is ...... In the next step of the combat strategy, it is still necessary to focus on stability and not to rush forward! Li Rumei said in a loud voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing anyone. Only I know that he is afraid of making me feel unhappy and say something embarrassing to Li Rusong and Li Jiajun.

I still didn't speak, and looked at the candle flame in the center of the table with a blank face, as if I heard it, and I didn't seem to hear it.

Li Rumei's voice fell, and there was silence in the cabin again, only the crackling sound of the candle flame was still burning, and the dancing fire reflected the flickering light on everyone's faces, and the atmosphere at the scene was very embarrassing.

"Question...... Not in logistics. At this moment, a voice came from the cabin, I turned my head to look, and it was Li Rusong himself who spoke!

Seeing him speak, all the generals of the Li family, who were originally soft, involuntarily sat up straight, and their eyes focused on Li Rusong, who was sitting directly opposite me.

I looked at him expressionlessly, waiting for him to make his decision.

"The Japanese were originally divided into two, but now there is a tendency to unite and deal with the Ming Dynasty together. Fortunately, Admiral Sun strategized and led the two sides to attack, alleviating the dilemma of our side being attacked. But ......"

His voice was suddenly lowered, and it was clear that it was not easy for him to say these words.

"But now, we don't have enough troops to take the initiative to attack, and holding Pyongyang is the best option at the moment." Li Rusong's voice trembled a little, but the meaning was very firm: "Qilan has given us a lot of support in logistics and in battle, but now that the enemy army is at its peak, our army has no ability to take the initiative to attack anymore!" ”

"Not capable of attacking?" I smiled, very indifferent: "Maybe, after all, you are handsome." I don't have anything to say, just talk about your plan, if you withdraw your troops here, I will withdraw my troops and return to the DPRK. ”

Li Rusong's face turned blue suddenly, and he was not lightly stimulated by me - without my support, his supplies would not be able to reach here at all, but I am afraid that even Pyongyang's supplies will be very difficult. But is the class teacher returning to the court? Just because he didn't dare to fight, he was going to let all his previous efforts be burned?

What is the rationale for this? I am afraid that if he retires today, he will have to receive an order from the imperial court to report on his work in Beijing tomorrow.

But what else? What else can I do if I don't dare to fight, if I don't dare to retreat? I looked at Li Rusong with an indifferent expression, he was still looking at me at first, but then he seemed to be unable to support it, slowly lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "I am indeed fully responsible for this failure." Now that we have reached this point, Qilan, you say, how should we advance and retreat in order to get through the current situation? ”

I snorted coldly and said softly, "You are handsome, come and ask me?" ”

Li Rusong's face suddenly flushed and he couldn't speak. Li Rumei watched from the side, and hurriedly persuaded: "Qilan, state affairs are important." Brother, he was also very meritorious at that time, so please understand more! ”

After speaking, Li Rumei pointed to the map on the desktop and said: "Now, the two armies of Shibata Katsuya and Yushiba Hideyoshi have gathered near Wangjing, if we don't move, I'm afraid that if we don't talk about the dilemma, we will lose all our efforts." Qilan is resourceful, and you know the depth of the Dongying Wokou, so we sincerely seek advice, and hope that Qilan will not hesitate to give advice. ”

I looked at Li Rumei, turned to Li Rusong, and looked at him so fixedly. Li Rusong stood up, bowed deeply to me, and said earnestly: "Qilan, it was true that I didn't know how to advance or retreat before, but now the situation is grim, and I hope that Qilan will give me more advice regardless of my past suspicions." ”

Ye Sizhong also followed: "Indeed, Qilan, it is still a matter of national affairs, and you can't be rash." ”

I looked at him lightly and said: "I worked hard before, and single-handedly cut off the Shibata Shengjia's grain route, which caused the contradictions between Yuchai and Shibata to become more and more acute, and tried every means to win over Yuchai's family and form a long-distance and close-range attack with the enemy. At the beginning of the general trend, I saw the envisioned situation, but it was disrupted by this confused battle. ”

Everyone was silent, and I continued: "It doesn't matter if you are bent on winning, regardless of the overall situation, it has become such a situation now. I'm actually quite cold-hearted, but I know that if I cower at this time, I'm afraid that after Yushiba Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuie sit down for peace talks, it will be difficult for this Goryeo to have a place for my Ming army. Rather than being kicked out with guns and sticks, it is better for us to go by ourselves than to sit here and wait for our lives. ”

Li Rumei heard what I said, and immediately asked: "Just say it directly, Qilan, what is the best plan?" ”

I glanced around the crowd and knew that everyone was waiting for my opinion, but instead of listening with the same courtesy as before, I really wanted to know how the situation at hand had been solved.

I paused, pointed to the position north of the sea where we were, and said in a deep voice, "The forces of the Shibata Katsu family are concentrated here, but the few remaining grain and grass are all stored in Seoul......"

Li Rusong's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously: "You mean, let's attack Seoul?" ”

I nodded, "That's just one of them." As for the second ......"

I looked at Li Rumei and said: "Last night, the Yuchai Army and the Chai Tianjun still turned against each other again, I want you to bring a team of men and horses to dress up as the Yuchai Army, and attack the camp of the Chai Tianjun in the middle of the night!" As for manpower, I can arrange the most professional Toei ninja to cooperate with you, there is no problem in disguise, just remember, do not seek to hurt the enemy, but to disturb the enemy, do not reveal your true face. Do you understand? ”

Li Rumei laughed twice: "Naturally understand!" A good plan for the blue end! We attacked the Shibata Katsu family's lair while causing the conflict between Yuchai and the Shibata family, which was the trick that eliminated the last glimmer of hope for the Shibata Katsu family! High, really high! ”

I waved my hand lightly, looked at Li Rusong again, and said: "There is only one left, please ask Li Dashuai to personally lead the team and cut off the connection between Yuchai Hideyoshi and the rear, not too long, just three days!" Three days is enough! ”

Li Rusong was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Yuchai Hideyoshi has abundant grain and grass, what can be changed in three days?" I don't know what Qilan's intentions are. ”

I smiled faintly and said, "Rubai sticks to Pyongyang, and Shibata Katsuya has no chance." And if Hashiba Hideyoshi's formation is stable, it will be equally difficult for Shibata Katsuya to make a big difference against it! I want the marshal to lead the army to attack him, just to make Hashiba Hideyoshi internal chaos and difficult to take care of. As for me, I should use other methods to guide Shibata Katsuya to direct more energy to the northwest - so that he has to attack Hashiba Hideyoshi to snatch food and grass......"

As I spoke, I smiled and concluded, "This can be regarded as an upgraded version of the Tiger Eater!" ”

There was a moment of silence in the cabin, and then there was a burst of laughter! Everyone including Li Rusong even called it a good plan, and it was not easy to be happy.

It was Li Rusong's recovered block, and he asked me again with a smile: "Qilan, after the implementation of this plan is completed, what should we do?" ”

I looked at him, crooked my lips again, and smiled: "When this plan succeeds, if the situation is favorable, the enemy will be destroyed in one fell swoop, or nothing can be said; If the situation is unfavorable, it is not too late to make other moves. ”

Cha Dashou, who had been holding back beside him, said strangely: "If the situation is favorable, why talk about it?" ”

I looked at Li Rusong, he knew the inside story very well: "Only the harder the front fights, the better the rear will ask for the price, this is the business experience, presumably Li Shuai also agreed, right?" ”

Li Rusong stood up, patted the table and shouted: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." Listen to the generals! It will be implemented according to Qilan's strategy! Rumei and Dashou acted separately, and I should follow closely behind. This battle can only be successful, not defeated! If there is a difference...... When the time comes, I'll see you yourself! ”
