Chapter 248: The Tile Thorn Tribe
Hui Shangyi nodded, "That's right, I think so too, so I'm still thinking about countermeasures." Let's see if there is any way to make Monarch Zheng give up this idea. β
Xiao Li threw a roll of his eyes at Hui Shangyi, "Big brother, don't think too naΓ―ve, as a king, they all have the same ideal, which is to annex neighboring countries and open up territories, so don't be delusional, in my opinion, it should be while Zheng Guo is still in the process of preparation." β
"We have not yet had time to attack us, so we should use this time to strengthen the city walls, increase the level of discipline of the army, and prepare sufficient food and grass to resist foreign insults."
Xiao Li looked at Hui Shangyi's unhurried and unhurried appearance, as well as this unrealistic idea, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and the tone of his voice was naturally not much better.
Hui Shangyi looked at Xiao Li's anxious appearance, thought for a while and said, "Xiao Li, it's not that your approach is bad, but that you're too anxious." β
Xiao Li was a little speechless, "Why are you in a hurry, we know that there will be a war, why don't we make some preparations for the arrival of war?" β
Hui Shangyi patiently explained to Xiao Li: "Think about it, if we suddenly have such a big move, we will definitely be noticed by Zheng Guo and the old department, if they notice, they will definitely plan more countermeasures against us, which is very unadvantageous to us." β
Hui Shangyi saw that Xiao Li listened to his speech very seriously, so he continued: "In this way, we are on the passive side, as you said just now, Zheng Guo is still in the stage of exploring our military strength, and he must not be fully prepared, so why can't we take the initiative to attack Zheng Guo and take the initiative to attack Zheng Guo, which is the most advantageous way to solve this matter now." β
Xiao Li listened to Hui Shangyi slowly speak out his thoughts, and after Xiao Li heard it, those who were interested were ashamed.
The idea he had just now was indeed too simple, indeed, Zheng Guo's military strength had definitely not been improved yet, so he would continue to test their military strength.
If they take the initiative to attack now, Zheng Guo's military strength is still in the growth stage, which will naturally be beneficial to them.
Xiao Li looked at Hui Shangyi with great admiration, "Yes, I still think it's too simple, after listening to your analysis, I think your method is feasible." β
Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, she is dealing with things now, and she has not yet reached the level of Hui Shangyi, she is still at a naΓ―ve level, and she doesn't know how to empathize when she encounters things, she will only face it head-on.
It's not that it's bad to face head-on, it's just that on the battlefield, it's more tactical, and a hard encounter will only hurt both sides, and he is still too tender, and he even refuted Hui Shangyi's words unashamedly just now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li felt a little ashamed and sad.
Hui Shangyi has been observing Xiao Li's expression, because Xiao Li has no scheming, and he will not hide himself, so his mental activities can basically be expressed through the change of expression.
This is also something that Hui Shangyi has only recently discovered, and he likes to read her expressions.
Seeing Xiao Li frowning for a while and frustrated for a while, he also knew Xiao Li's thoughts.
So he comforted: "Actually, the idea you said is not bad, but it doesn't apply to now, I also thought about it, and later found that the tactic of preemptive strike is better, you are quite talented in military affairs, with more guidance, plus a lot of experience, you should be a very successful military advisor." β
Xiao Li also knew that Hui Shangyi was comforting herself, Hui Shangyi said so, and she didn't want to say anything more, hey, so be it.
In the future, I will take a look at Sun Tzu's Art of War and study more of the tactics that have been used.
"Come, Xiao Li, tell me, how should we take the initiative?"
Hui Shangyi didn't want to hit Xiao Li's confidence, so he took the initiative to throw a question to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li thought for a while and said, "Hmm...... First of all, we must quickly write to the emperor, mention this matter, and seek the emperor's consent" Xiao Li believes that the emperor agrees nine times out of ten, as she just said, the wish of any monarch is to open up the territory and annex neighboring countries.
She didn't believe it, the emperor of Longteng State didn't have this kind of idea, but now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the previous monarch of Zheng Guo was also very friendly, so he didn't have any good reason to attack Zheng Guo, this time Zheng Guo continued to harass the border, which just gave the emperor an excuse to fight Zheng Guo.
"Secondly, we must contact the states and counties that are relatively close to us, so that they can prepare grain and grass and use them as our rear line at any time."
She knows the story of a city locked up in Jianghuai, the story of several husbands born and born, and the reluctance of the surrounding states and counties to lend grain and grass is also a major cause of the tragedy.
"Then, we will reward the three armies first, give the soldiers courage, and tell them about the current situation."
Xiao Li said, then stopped, thought about it again, and said, "Hey, I really can't think of anything else, I can only think of so much." β
Hui Shangyi felt that what Xiao Li said was very reasonable, "What you said is really good, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, such as the issue of grain and grass, and I didn't expect to talk to the surrounding states and counties first, and I can only think of so much for the time being." β
Xiao Li heard Hui Shangyi praise her, and the unhappiness caused by that incident just now gradually disappeared.
"That's it, let's go find Xie Yunxiu later, he is a military advisor, see how he analyzes this matter and how he prepares for battle."
Xiao Li heard Hui Shangyi mention Xie Yunxiu, and thought that he would go to him with Hui Shangyi later, and he must go to trick him, who told him to follow Hui Shangyi all day long, but he did some bad ideas. Jiangsu Literature Network
She was kidnapped by the old department, she can not worry about Hui Shangyi and forgive Hui Shangyi, that is because she likes Hui Shangyi, she is very protective of her shortcomings, and she treats Xie Yunxiu differently.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li smiled treacherously.
Hui Shangyi looked at Xiao Li's expression and shuddered, he could probably guess what Xiao Li wanted to do, but he felt that he should not annoy Xiao Li in the future, otherwise he might end up like Xie Yunxiu.
Xiao Li was still discussing Zheng Guo's affairs with Hui Shangyi.
Wu hurriedly walked in, and as soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi's intimate actions.
Xiao Li sat on Hui Shangyi's lap, and the two stuck together.
The Wu clan didn't care about avoiding suspicion, and walked directly in front of Hui Shangyi.
Hui Shangyi and Xiao Li were very surprised to see the Wu clan suddenly come in, Xiao Li watched the Wu clan enter the camp tent, and saw her and Hui Shangyi, obviously stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was still sitting on Hui Shangyi's lap.
He hurriedly got up from Hui Shangyi's lap.
Hui Shangyi saw Xiao Li leave him so quickly, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and just hugged Xiao Li, he felt comfortable in class.
However, he also knows how to be measured, and in front of his mother, it is better to pay attention to one point.
Hui Shangyi looked at Wu's hurried appearance, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong, I feel that you are in a hurry." β
"No...... No...... Okay, someone just came to report that Hui Shangxian and Qizhen are in danger in the Waspur tribe, cough cough. β
As soon as Wu got the news, he hurried over, so he spoke a little breathlessly.
After Hui Shangyi and Xiao Li heard this, they immediately sat upright, and Xiao Li asked with a worried face, "Mother, can you be more specific?" β
Wu took a sip of tea and said, "Just now, Shangxian's guards told me that they were in trouble, so they gave me a letter, and I ran over before I could open it, you can take a look." With that, Wu handed the envelope in his hand to Hui Shangyi.
Hui Shangyi immediately took it and opened it to see.
Xiao Li asked nervously, "What is written in the letter?" β
Hui Shangyi frowned, "The letter said that Qizhen and Hui Shangxian were brought to the royal tent by the prince of the Tile Thorn tribe, and it also told us that there is a force in the Tile Thorn tribe now, which is separate from the power of the royal family. I want to take advantage of this mutual market to make a big deal in our Central Plains. The Tile Thorn tribe has a heart of disobedience. β
When Xiao Li and Wu heard this, Qizhen and Hui Shangyi were now in the king's tent, and their whole hearts hung up.
"Did the letter say anything else?"
Hui Shangyi shook his head, "No, the letter said these two things." β
Xiao Li is now very worried about Qi Zhen and Hui Shangxian's comfort, especially Qi Zhen, after all, Qi Zhen is the favorite woman she has met in this world.
Xiao Li wanted to propose to Hui Shangyi the idea of going to pray for Zhen and Hui Shangxian, but after thinking about it, Zheng Guo was originally ill-intentioned, and the border war was tight, and there were no extra troops to rescue her.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li was even more anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Wu Shi saw that his son and daughter-in-law had fallen into such a situation, so he asked Hui Shangyi, "What should we do now, after all, they are in the Waspur tribe, and it is not good for us to go directly to the rescue." β
Hui Shangyi was also very angry and anxious, but she knew that now only he could preside over the overall situation, Xiao Li and her mother were very anxious, and in this case, most of the decisions made were impulsive.
Hui Shangyi got up, put his hands behind his back, and kept walking around the tent.
Xiao Li and Wu knew that Hui Shangyi was thinking about this problem, and they couldn't interrupt his thinking, so they could only stand quietly and watch.
Xiao Li blamed himself in his heart, after all, he had proposed to Hui Shangyi and Hui Shangxian that he should let Qi Zhen go to the Tile Thorn Tribe, without her, Qi Zhen would not be in danger now.
"So be it. Now we are divided into two ways, looking for someone to rescue Qizhen and Hui Sangxian, and because of Zheng Guo's affairs, I must stay here to preside over the overall situation. β
Hui Shangyi felt that this method was the best way he could think of so far, and it could only be like this.
