Chapter 297: Into the Kingdom of Jin
"Your remarks like this are the disasters to the country and the people, if you say this, don't you let our soldiers and the Jin army kill here and there, aren't it the soldiers of our Xia Kingdom who die?"
Someone stood up and shouted.
Xi Chen said: "This is war, if you retreat, the enemy will gain an inch. ”
What Xi Chen is saying now is not all for his battlefield mission.
He is also thinking about the Xia Kingdom, even if the Jin army retreats this time, it is not because they don't want to lose their lives, but because they no longer have the capital to attack.
But when they have the capital to attack, they will not keep today's promises or something.
So now when he heard that he wanted peace talks, Xi Chen told the generals present that it was absolutely impossible.
"Now it's not only the difficulty that we insist on, it's not good for us to continue fighting like this, what Master Gu said just now is very right, it's also not good for the Jin Army."
"So what we have to do now is to drive the Jin army out and take back our territory and cities, not to go to peace talks."
Xi Chen's words also have some truth.
Everyone looked at the general, in fact, the general is a soldier, how can he be willing to negotiate peace.
He just didn't want to die too many soldiers innocently, and now seeing what Xi Chen said, he asked: "You can also see the scene today, the Jin army is holding on to the city. ”
"If we can't attack it, they will still have a steady stream of supplies, even if we want to block food, then the Jin army can also get supplies from the Jin country. Only the people of our Xia Kingdom are starving to death. ”
"The army is pressing, many soldiers can't go home, and there is a lot of pressure on the treasury."
The question that the general said, Xi Chen knew in his heart that the current battle was a continuous war, and if it continued like this, it would be detrimental to them.
But in the same way, Xi Chen said that it is not good for the Jin army, but it is relatively not as severe as Xia Guo.
"I know what the general said, but I think the city must be returned."
Yes, it is very important to get the city back, and it is related to the battlefield mission.
It is also about the dignity of the Xia Kingdom, and it can also hit the wolf ambitions of the Jin Kingdom.
"You said so light, how can you get the city back?" A general asked, standing up.
Xi Chen said: "We have been pressing the Jin army for three years, and I am afraid that their country has already been hollowed out. ”
"What do you mean?" The general vaguely understood Xi Chen's thoughts.
Xi Chen said: "Since the Jin army does not withdraw its troops, why don't we directly go to the Jin country and disturb them." ”
"You want to attack the Kingdom of Jin?" The general asked.
"It's ridiculous, aren't you attacking Jin Country now to give them a chance?" A general felt that Xi Chen was a bit of a child's play.
Xi Chen said: "Although the Jin country is short of materials, the land is sparsely populated, and most of them are nomads. ”
"We only need to send cavalry in, divide into multiple units, and harass in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, so that the Jin Kingdom is tense, and they will inevitably send people back from Rongcheng and the border cities to deal with us at that time."
"Do you want to overwhelm Jin Jun?" The general asked.
Xi Chen nodded and said: "We are mostly cavalry, and we are highly mobile, even if the Jin army comes to intercept, it will consume a lot of time." ”
"In this way, their forces in the border city and Rongcheng will be weakened, and when the time comes, we will constantly harass and attack the city, which can make them miserable."
Hearing Xi Chen's words, the general said thoughtfully: "It's feasible." ”
Seeing that the general was relieved, Xi Chen said directly: "General, my subordinates are willing to take five hundred people to go deep into the territory of Jin to relieve the pressure on our army." ”
"My subordinates are also willing to bring five hundred people." Cao Wenhan stood up and said.
Fang Siyu also said behind the general at this time: "My subordinates are also willing to bring five hundred people." ”
Five hundred, not a lot of people, not easy to be found, not easy to be intercepted.
"Think twice, general." Said the man below.
The general raised his hand to signal them to be quiet and said: "I am a general, guarding the border, and if I can't open up the territory of Great Xia in my lifetime, I have no shame to go to see the ancestors of the Xia Kingdom." ”
"If you want to give up the territory of the Xia Kingdom to the barbarian clan in my hands, everyone can know my heart."
Everyone is a soldier, and they don't want to, and they all know the general's feelings.
"If there is a chance, there are soldiers who are not afraid of death, I am very relieved, I ask again, but there are still people who are willing to go?"
As soon as the general's words fell, a few more people inside stood up and said, "My subordinates are also willing to stay with five hundred soldiers and set foot in the territory of the Jin Kingdom." ”
"Okay, they're all my hot-blooded men in Daxia."
"Bring the wine." The general directly asked people to give wine, and this matter was settled.
Xi Chen and Cao Wenhan glanced at each other, but fortunately they did not talk about peace.
The general told them to prepare 500 men each, and then they were going to enter the Kingdom of Jin.
They are not many in number, and they can go the same way that merchants used to smuggle, but they cannot go together, and they have to leave several times.
Xi Chen, Cao Wenhan and Fang Siyu are naturally together, Gu Guanqing also has to follow, of course Xi Chen has to take Gu Guanqing.
They acted very quickly this time, Xi Chen and they had already set off, and Xi Chen said to Cao Wenhan and them: "After arriving in the Jin country, we will also separate, although the Jin country has insufficient troops. ”
"But they are nomads, they are aggressive by nature, and I am afraid that there are many warriors, so we must not be careless."
Xi Chen: They didn't bring a lot of supplies, because they didn't need to, and they would inevitably have to grab some things when the time came.
"Make as much trouble as possible for the Jin Kingdom, let them send troops back, we are not together, take the map of the Jin Kingdom given by the general, don't leave too far."
Before leaving, the general gave them a map of the Jin Kingdom, which was the information that a spy had risked his life to enter the Jin Kingdom to spy on in the past.
"Are you going to kill a lot of people?" Gu Guanqing asked.
"Ordinary people don't be embarrassed, we are here to create chaos, we can't take pleasure in killing people, but don't be merciful when you encounter resistance."
The battlefield is never a place where the heart is soft-hearted.
"If there are more refugees, the country will be in chaos, and we don't need to kill too many people." Fang Siyu said.
She knew that Gu Guanqing was still unwilling to kill too many people in her heart, but in fact, no one was willing to kill people in her heart, and they were not murderous demons.
But if it's a critical moment, no one will relent.
Xi Chen said: "This road was used by merchants for smuggling in the past, I don't know if the Jin army is guarded, so I will send scouts to explore the road first." ”
"Go." Cao Wenhan said to the people below.
Cao Wenhan's 500 people, not only the people of the Divine Arrow Battalion, they have already broken up and mixed people, which is more suitable for dealing with all kinds of battles.
They are fifteen hundred people, the vanguard force, and there are thousands of people behind, and these people will be very dangerous if they go deep into the Jin country, and if they don't get it right, they will die inside.
However, Xi Chen did not hesitate for their battlefield mission, and those people for the Xia Kingdom.
