Long Yuandong said: "The discussion of the military advisor is indeed very good. However, as far as I can see, the enemy is extremely good at guerrilla warfare, and does not care about the gains or losses of one city or one place. If they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't, they will leave. When we stopped, they came to harass again. And we pursued, and inevitably fell into his pocket. Big wins are not always the case, but small wins are also quite rare. Or maybe all year round, we followed their butts in hundreds of circles, not only did we not get any results, but we also lost countless brothers in vain. ”

Zhang Pei sneered: "According to you, aren't we bound to be defeated? Could it be that you were ambushed by the Five Elements Sect once, so you were afraid of them? The people that the enemy relied on were just more seventy-level soul masters than us." If our army organizes 3,000 elite assassins, in groups of 10 people, and scatters them out to assassinate the enemy's high-ranking officers as their own responsibility, they will always be able to kill 1,000 in a year's time, and then the situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak will inevitably change!"

He slapped the table vigorously and said: "Well said! Long Shovel, I found that your courage is getting smaller and smaller! The battle has not started yet, this is not good, that is not good." Lao Zhang's assassination idea is really good, I'm the first to sign up as an assassin!"

Long Yuandong didn't care and smiled faintly.

Assassination is indeed an activity with both risks and opportunities. Once you succeed, you can have incalculable benefits. If you're only trying to assassinate one or two people and keep taking risks, you might be able to do it, even if there are ten or eight targets. But if you want to assassinate one or two thousand masters above level 70 in one go in the midst of a dense army of thousands of people, it is tantamount to a fool's dream!

If assassination is so useful, how can the world's battles be fought?

Besides, in order to assassinate one enemy, you need to lose a hundred or even more yourself, and the return on investment is completely disproportionate, even if you succeed in the end, what's the point?

Therefore, assassination can only happen to a small number of key people. If you don't succeed, you can change the tide of battle!

These truths are obvious, and if you think about it a little, you can understand that Long Yuandong has reason to believe that Zhang Pei, like He Dali, is a momentary speech.

He Xiaoduo pressed his hand and said, "Everyone expresses their opinions, why be angry? This assassination strategy can be discussed later." ”

Under the auspices of He Xiaoduo, the generals successively put forward more than a dozen similar strategies.

For example, some people suggested that the government army in the occupied area should be combined with the outside, and the soldiers should be quick and surprised, divide and surround the enemy, and then enlarge and eat small, fight a few battles of annihilation, and then gradually seek a comprehensive victory with points and areas;

Some people also said that a superior force should be transferred to the middle of the Shuzhou and Haizhou prefectures, open up the passage between the two prefectures, connect the three places into a line, and then support each other, spread the net to form a formation, clear and recover one county at a time, consolidate the foundation in a solid manner, slowly expand the results of the battle, and finally create conditions for the division to fight a decisive battle with the enemy;

Some people even suggested that they secretly send Xiaozuo to infiltrate the enemy's interior and divide the relationship between the two major forces of the Nine Palace Pavilion and the Five Elements Sect, so as to collect the benefits of the fisherman, and so on.

But no matter what strategy comes out, there will always be people who find the shortcomings and flaws in it. Either they are whimsical and practically beyond the power of manpower; either they take the sword and take risks and rush forward, and the victory or defeat depends entirely on luck; or they are conservative and seek stability, blindly emphasizing the need to be ready to attack, and will not hurt the enemy's vitality.

In short, the more people think about it and the more they come up with ideas, the more they feel that the situation is tricky and not optimistic.

The people deliberated for a long time, but there was no good plan, and their morale gradually became depressed, and they were silent.

Yun Tianjia, who had been listening carefully, suddenly said: "After discussing it for so long, everyone seems to be quite discouraged about the prospect of suppressing the enemy. But in my opinion, as long as we deal with the law properly, the enemy will definitely be defeated. ”

"Oh, how do you say that?" He Xiaoduo perked up and asked.

There are three reasons for this:

First, the general trend of the world lies in the people's will. The will of the people is the trend of the times. If the people are at peace, chaos will not last long, and if the people are at peace, the war will not continue.

Although the people are living in a difficult situation and are barely able to survive, as long as they can have something to eat and barely survive, they are not willing to abandon their families and careers, take risks, and commit chaos. Although there are many bad habits in the politics of our DPRK and too many bad habits of officials, after all, there is still room for salvation, and this is precisely our chance to win. As long as we can properly appease the people and govern with virtue, the enemy will not be able to overturn the sky. ”

He Xiaoduo happily praised: "What Yun Shuai said is very much in line with my wishes!"

The rest of the generals somewhat agreed, and some were quite unimpressed. Especially like Wen Yanxin, Li Gaotang and others, the longer they have been immersed in politics, the more they know the difficulties of changing current politics.

Anyone can talk about it, but it is easy to implement it!

However, since He Xiaoduo has expressed his position, they are old in the city government, so they will naturally not dismantle the stage in person.

Yun Tianjia continued, "Second, the enemy is not as strong as we imagined. We know that the characteristics of the enemy army are that they are good at guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare, and that they are flexible in combat and elusive, and this is both their strength and their weakness.

As far as I know, although the enemy army raised its banner to rebel, it did not have a unified purpose that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; whenever it went to a place, the first thing they did was to kill officials and set fires, and to grab money and grain; sometimes, they clearly occupied the county seat, and after emptying all the money, grain, and people, they retreated into the mountains and forests; they did not have a long-term plan, and when they started a war, they had no direction or purpose, and they would fight wherever they were weak, and they would fight wherever they wanted.

Therefore, when they are fighting fortified battles and positional warfare, they often lack the belief that they will win, and when they encounter a setback, they will shake the morale of the army, scatter and retreat, and find another way. This is evident from the fact that the enemy has rebelled so far, except for Huzhou, the capitals of the rest of the states are still in our hands.

They are like a strong, simple-minded man with a well-developed limbs, who likes to do whatever he wants, and is unwilling to rise to the challenge. ”

He Xiaoduo said happily: "Well said!"

Wen Yan thought thoughtfully, stroked his beard with his right hand, and nodded slightly.

"Third, although our military strength is not strong, it is not as bad as we thought.

First of all, our real strength is not less than that of the enemy, on the contrary, it is much more. Because it's not just the 30,000-odd mobile forces that can be put into battle. If you add up the government troops, county soldiers, county soldiers, and township warriors of the five central provinces, and then count the strength of the state capitals in the occupied areas, this is already more than 600,000 people. In addition, we can also recruit mercenaries, animal trainers, refiners, miners, mountain people, hunters, and other civilian forces for my use. That's at least 50,000 people.

Secondly, our various troops, especially the three major garrisons, there are not a few soul masters who have been stuck at the peak of the third order and the peak of the sixth order for a long time, if we can provide enough pills to assist in rushing through the level, and give reasonable training, in a few months, they will be able to reach a higher level. Under the condition that the number of soldiers remains unchanged, the combat effectiveness of all individual soldiers will be raised to a higher level as a whole, and the combat effectiveness of the army will also make a qualitative leap.

Finally, among the five major border passes, except for Huaiyuan Pass, which borders the Zhongming Empire, the troops of the remaining four passes can be freely mobilized. Therefore, our existing mobile force is not 30,000, but 50,000!"

Li Gaotang said: "What Yun Qianshuai said, there are two points that are unclear.

First, Chongguan pills have always been in short supply, and it can be said that there is no market. One blood crystal stone and blood spirit stone are inherently rare, and the other is that excellent alchemists are even rarer. If we could get enough Chongguan Pills, we would have distributed them a long time ago, so why not let the soldiers be stuck at the peak of the third order and the peak of the sixth order for a long time and not be able to break through?

Since ancient times, we have never heard of a precedent for the border troops to be transferred to suppress bandits, and the so-called 'border troops can be freely mobilized'.

Yun Tianjia smiled slightly, and said: "I already have the eyebrows to solve the matter of rushing the pill, as soon as three months, or as slow as half a year, I will let everyone on the front line get the corresponding pill." ”

Li Gaotang was shocked: "Is this serious?"

"There is no lie!" Yun Tianjia was confident.

Li Gaotang originally wanted to squeeze him out of the military order, and thought that he was the front-line commander, if he couldn't get the pill, he would not be able to win the war, and in the end, he would inevitably die, and whether he established the military order or not would be the same. smiled coldly at the moment and said no more.

Yun Tianjia paused for a moment and said, "The reason why it is said that the border pass army can be moved freely is because the four border passes bordering Dongmu Country do not need to be guarded at all. ”

Dai Zhong said in confusion: "Isn't it bad if the border pass is not guarded, and the foreign army takes advantage of the weakness to enter?"

The rest of the generals also showed puzzled expressions, and Fan Ye, Liu Yichen, and Li Gaotang gloated and laughed.

Yun Tianjia said: "The four eastern passes can not be guarded, and there are four reasons.

First, the main direction of development of Dongmu Province is overseas, and there is no motive to fight us.

Second, Dongmu Province is a hardcore ally of our Tuhao Empire, and it is almost defenseless against us on the border, and it does not even have permanent national relations. Since he is not guarding against us, he naturally has no ambition for us.

Third, taking a step back, if the Dongmu Kingdom comes to attack us, with the strength of our eastern four passes, I am afraid it will not be able to stop it. Since we can't stop it, what is the need to defend it? Moreover, once the army of the Dongmu Kingdom enters our territory, the first to bear the brunt of it will be the bandit army of the Five Elements Sect and the Nine Palace Pavilion, and we have every time to deploy troops and deal with it calmly.

Fourth, if we don't defend the national customs, then the bandit army may flow to Dongmu Country under our step-by-step advance, and it is not us who will need a headache at that time, but Dongmu Country. So instead of attacking us, they will come to our aid. As long as we send an envoy to inform the lord of Dongmu Country, we will definitely be able to persuade them to send elite soldiers and strong generals to guard the pass for us. In this way, we will have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, more reinforcements in one fell swoop, and the comparison between the enemy's and our forces will be completely reversed. ”

Li Gaotang snorted: "It's simple. People are unpredictable, whether Dongmu Kingdom will take advantage of the fire to rob, or will send charcoal in the snow, no one can get a package ticket. Don't get it later, we drive wolves at the front door and tigers at the back door, then it's a big trouble. ”

Liu Yichen echoed: "What Yun Qianshuai said is reasonable. However, the national customs and defense must not be taken lightly. In my opinion, the matter of withdrawing the national customs is still a long-term consideration. ”

Li and Liu started their careers, and Wen Yanxin, Fan Ye, Zhang Pei, Chuan Yifan and others also expressed all kinds of worries and worries.

He Xiaoduo saw that the hall was full of buzzing, and she was not angry, she untied the sword on her waist and said resolutely: "When it is extraordinary, do extraordinary things!" I immediately ordered Yun Tianjia to be the former commander, and all military power should belong to the marshal's mansion. This saber is my token, and it is handed over to Yun Tianjia today. From now on, the major affairs of the military aircraft will be decided by Yun Tianjia's words, and there is no need to discuss them publicly. If there is a disobedient person, hold this sword, and exercise the right to cut first and then play!"

The generals were shocked.

Such a favor is both enviable and jealous.

Yun Tianjia's heart was also full of awe: "The princess actually trusts me so much!" Half-kneeling on the ground, he took the gorgeous short sword inlaid with gold and jade with both hands, and said solemnly: "The last general will definitely live up to the princess's trust, do his best, and die!"

Turning to the generals, he said: "I have a strategy in mind to suppress the enemy. Three days later, please move to the former marshal's mansion and receive a combat mission!"
