Chapter 424: Lin Zifan's Method
"What General Huo said is extremely true, but what I need to consider now is how to get through this crisis, instead of talking about whether the other party's plan is poisonous enough!"
The empress looked around at everyone: "I already knew about these news yesterday. The purpose of today's dynasty is to gather the strength of all Aiqing and discuss a feasible strategy!"
She looked at the crowd, knowing that the odds were low, but still with some hope.
What if?
However, the empress was still disappointed, and the civil and military officials pondered and pondered one by one, and some people proposed some methods, but they were all overturned instantly, and it was not feasible at all......
"No way!"
General Huo shook his head and said coldly: "According to General Ben, instead of sitting and starving to death, it is better for the whole army to attack, and after defeating the enemy, snatch their food to alleviate the danger of the shortage of Datang!"
"Do you feed war with war?" the empress nodded lightly: "It's similar to what I thought, at this moment, it seems that this is the only way to ......"
"Your Majesty, although it sounds good to feed war with war, in the eyes of the minister, it is a little inappropriate......"
Lin Zifan jumped out, he knew that he couldn't be silent any longer. Because, if he was silent for a while, maybe after half an hour, General Huo Da would have to lead people to the north to start a war......
"Oh?" the empress looked at Lin Zifan, her beautiful eyes showed a little expectation: "Why?"
"It's a good idea to feed the war with war, but it's not suitable for now. ”
Lin Zifan shook his head slowly, and analyzed: "For such a big thing as the poison without roots, whether it is the two kingdoms of Chen and Wu, or other countries, they must have already gotten the news, and they also know that we are extremely short of food!"
This can be seen from the fact that these three countries have already begun to garrison troops!
"Indeed...... But what does this have to do with fighting to feed war?"
The empress, General Huo and others nodded, but they were still puzzled.
"The connection is here. ”
Lin Zifan sighed: "Since they already know that we are short of food, why do they still want to fight with us at this time?"
"Just as General Huo said, they can wait, wait until we run out of food and have no strength to fight against us, at that time, wouldn't they be able to achieve the greatest victory with the smallest casualties?"
"Chen is sure that General Huo personally led the Zhenbei Army all the way north, then, Chen and Wu Erguo will inevitably retreat in the city and not fight!"
"There is even a possibility that they will be able to clear the wilderness, and everyone will retreat, taking all the food with them, leaving an empty city and a ......."
"And our Tang soldiers, whether they are attacking the city or rushing at full speed, will inevitably greatly increase the consumption rate of grain and grass! This is what they want to see. ”
"What if we give up the city? we can't hold it at all, and in a few days, at most ten days, they can get it back with interest......
Speaking of this, Lin Zifan slowly shook his head and looked at the empress and General Huo, wanting to hear their opinions.
At this point, it is already very clear that if you have to fight again......
"General Huo, what do you think?" The empress's face was very ugly, this method of raising war with war was exactly the method she came up with last night, and now it seems that General Huo's method is similar.
But now, Lin Zifan's words made the empress feel ...... instantly You really can't take the initiative to go to war.
"Although it is a little unhappy...... General Huo smiled bitterly: "But I have to admit that what Lin Shangshu said is reasonable......"
"The people of Chen and Wu are scheming, and at this time, as Lin Shangshu said, the possibility of not responding to the war is extremely high...... If that's the case, we want to fight to feed the war, but instead we fall into their trap......"
"Yes...... the empress opened her red lips lightly and said to Lin Zifan: "I don't know...... Lin Shangshu, do you have a high opinion?"
At this moment, the empress's mood suddenly became a little nervous......
Lin Zifan is already the last hole card of Datang, if even he has no way, then our Datang ......
And Lin Zifan's inquiry also raised some expectations from the civil and military officials.
"That's right, and Lin Shangshu~!"
"Our Lin Shangshu is also a lot of tricks...... Well, it's also as wise as a demon, there must be a way!"
"Lord Lin, you can't hide it anymore, this time, it's really all up to you!"
The ministers spoke one after another, and even the elder Shi Fang did not object to it, but arched his hand to Lin Zifan and said: "Lin Shangshu, please think more about it, if this matter can be solved, Shi Fang will be a cow and a horse in the future, and Shi Fang has no complaints." ”
"Shi Xiaoqiong, the same is true!" The young elder also looked solemn.
Obviously, everyone felt the seriousness of the matter. can stand on top of the court, no one is a fool!
If this crisis is not resolved as soon as possible, the country will not be a country!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am serious. Lin Zifan shook his head lightly, and then said to the empress: "Your Majesty, there is no good way for the minister for a while......
The empress nodded slightly, although she didn't say anything, she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
This sense of loss is not aimed at Lin Zifan, but ...... For the next crisis that Datang will face, I feel helpless and lost.
"How could it be? Even Lin Shangshu ......"
The ministers looked at each other, and at this moment, even a little despair rose.
In the past winter, Datang was also very short of food, but gritted his teeth, and in about half a month at the end of winter, he ate one meal a day, and it was over.
Can ...... now I can't do it!
"In that case, let's fight!"
General Huo took a deep breath: "Although it is not the best strategy to raise war with war, but at this moment, we have no choice!"
"If you can get some food back, you can support it for a little longer, otherwise you ......"
"Ahem, that...... I'm not done yet. ”
Lin Zifan shook his head and smiled: "Very good way, no, but I have a few suggestions, Your Majesty, adults, do you want to listen?"
"Say!"
When the empress spoke, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, it's all at this time, are you still selling Guanzi? But at the same time, her mood is also a lot better.
"Then the minister said......"
"First, dig up all the fragrant beans! It doesn't matter if they've been frozen or not, and no matter how long they can be left, they can always be eaten before they rot!"
"The rescued fragrant beans are stored well, and the frozen fragrant beans can be eaten as much as you want!"
"Second, hunt as much as you can from now until the cold winter arrives and the beasts return to their nests!"
"But you can't eat all the prey you catch, but you have to leave a part of it to make bacon......"
"Third, mountain people from all over the country, go to all parts of the mountains, look for grain and wild fruits, and hoard them in large quantities!"
"Food, not only fragrant beans, later, I will tell you what kind of food can be collected and used as a staple food!"
