Chapter 223: Decapitation
Since the relationship between the two has heated up sharply, Xing Tianze knows that although Tao Mingxi shows a look of love and ignorance for him, he is actually very concerned about him in his heart.
Now hearing such words, Xing Tianze was as happy as a child, and drank several sips of hot porridge in a row, where is there still a little bit of marshal spirit leading the three armies on the battlefield, where is there still the prestige and momentum of the five princes of the Xingzhao Kingdom.
Tao Mingxi didn't expect that he just said a casual word, Xing Tianze was so happy, he couldn't help rolling his eyes again, and took the initiative to help him serve a bowl of porridge.
From beginning to end, he didn't say a word, he lowered his head slightly and drank the porridge in the bowl, and there were several thoughtful expressions in his eyes, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhu'er stood respectfully aside, ready to serve the three of them at any time.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room slowly became warmer, and the murderous aura from the war outside the room was expelled.
When the three of them had eaten breakfast, there was a heavy snow in the sky, and it took less than half a quarter to pile up on the ground.
Tao Mingxi hurriedly asked Zhu'er to add more charcoal to the stove to make the fire burn a little stronger, so that the temperature in the room would not be lowered.
Such bad weather was really not suitable for marching and fighting, so Xing Tianze strictly ordered the three armies to rest, and the city head was increased from the original three squads plus four patrols to seven squads of people and ten patrols on duty in turn.
First, it is to prevent the enemy army of Qingcang Kingdom from attacking, and secondly, so that the soldiers can rest as much as possible, such a cold day is really not suitable for standing guard.
Even many generals, Xing Tianze also asked them to light a fire in the tent and prepare for it.
"Fortunately, we captured Black Dragon City last night, otherwise the army would be in the open air under the wind and snow at this moment." Xing Tianze held a cup of hot tea in his hand and looked at the heavy snow outside the window that made people almost unable to open their eyes.
"It's just a fluke, there is still more than a month of winter in the future, and it seems that we have to slowly stalemate with Murong Yu." Traceless sat in front of the fire.
Last night's battle didn't last long, it took less than half an hour.
As he expected, Murong Yu was not in Black Dragon City, so he gave them an opportunity to take advantage of.
"This stalemate is not a solution, the consumption of the army is always a problem, if the time is too long, not only will my imperial brother be in trouble, but also increase the burden of the people, and the treasury will be empty, and the people will lose money." Xing Tianze drank a cup of hot tea and dispelled the chill on his body.
"How's it going? If it's convenient for me, I'll be able to give you an idea. Tao Mingxi, who was afraid of the cold, kept rubbing his hands even though he was sitting next to the stove.
"Marching and fighting is a national affair, and it should be a man's business, what are you doing as a woman?" Xing Tianze reprimanded her in a rather serious tone.
Tao Mingxi immediately pursed her lips, she was really helpless about Xing Tianze's machismo.
"The prince's words are wrong, and the princess is thoughtful, maybe she really has unexpected ideas." Without a trace explained the current situation in great detail, especially the advantages and disadvantages between the enemy and the enemy.
Tao Mingxi listened very seriously, and Xing Tianze didn't reprimand the two of them for such actions, and quietly sat back next to the princess.
"That's the general situation, due to the bad weather, we can't send troops later, we can only hold on to Black Dragon City." Traceless took a sip of hot tea.
Tao Mingxi looked at the flames rising in the furnace in a daze, and frowned slightly: "If you hold a decapitation operation, will you be able to achieve very significant results?" ”
"I don't know what the princess said about this? What is a decapitation operation? A look of confusion appeared on Traceless' face.
Even Xing Tianze gave Tao Mingxi an inquiring look.
"It's you who gather a group of elite soldiers to form a single team, and then take action against the enemy's senior generals or even commanders." Tao Mingxi explained with his hands on his chin.
"The princess means to send dead men to assassinate the enemy commander?" A strange look flashed in Traceless' eyes.
Xing Tianze refused directly, but he still patiently explained to Tao Mingxi that the other party's commander was the current emperor of Qingcang Kingdom, and the guards around him were as strict as him? There is not the slightest chance at all.
Besides, the two armies fought against each other and sent assassins to assassinate, which was a shameful act in itself, and as the prince of the Xingzhao Kingdom, he was very commander of the three armies, how could he make such a trick?
"The two armies are the victors and the losers are kings, and besides, where are there so many rules on the battlefield? Do you understand the truth that soldiers don't get tired of deceit, lord? Tao Mingxi insisted helplessly: "If you don't want to attack the enemy commander, you can also target their grain and grass." ”
"Presumptuous, are you questioning the ability of this king to command the army?" Xing Tianze's face became slightly gloomy.
For so many years, Tao Mingxi was the first person to say that he did not understand military affairs.
"The prince is angry for the time being, the princess's words are very right, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating." Traceless carefully recalled the meaning of Tao Mingxi's words, this was the first time he had heard the words of the winner as the king and the loser Kou.
"Do you agree?" Jing Duci looked at him in astonishment.
Wuxian nodded lightly, waved his hand slightly, picked up the teacup and began to shake and analyze Tao Mingxi's words.
Whether it is Murong Yu or the Emperor of Qingcang Kingdom, the guards around him must be strict, so the trick of sending dead soldiers will not work.
However, Qingcang also has an army of 300,000 people, and they also support many towns, so in addition to the grain and grass left behind in each town, where will the other grain and grass be stored?
Murong Yu is an extremely smart person, he will never put all his eggs in the same basket, so the grain and grass of the Qingcang army must be stored separately, but as long as something happens in any place, it will be a great loss for them.
There are still more than two months to go before the beginning of spring next year, and in order to reduce the cost of grain and grass for his army, the grain and grass needed can only be started from these places.
"Lord Wang, do you understand now?" Traceless asked Xing Tianze with a smile.
"This king is not a dead brain who eats the ancients." Xing Tianze turned his head sideways to look at Tao Mingxi: "Xi'er, I'm sorry, I was too reckless just now, and what I said was a bit too heavy, please forgive me." ”
"For the sake of you still commanding the three armies, I'll write it down for you this time, and if there is a next time, you see how I ...... Hey! Tao Mingxi showed a malicious smile.
Xing Tianze swallowed his saliva in amazement, but Wuxian glanced at Tao Mingxi deeply, and he felt more and more that this princess was not simple.
Based on what she just said, it is by no means something that ordinary people can think of.
"Then according to what you said, it's just that what climate sent people to investigate the specific location of the grain and grass in Qingcang Country?" Xing Tianze cast an inquiring glance at Traceless.
