Chapter 62: The Chess Leader
Chen Haoyan's arrival made Jing Yifan a little surprised. He knew that this general was very arrogant, and he hadn't come since the last refusal, and today Chen Haoyan suddenly appeared in his tent, which was really a bit of a rare guest.
Chen Haoyan was inevitably a little embarrassed when he saw Jing Yifan because he was ashamed, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.
Jing Yifan was even more desperate, he didn't even say hello directly, he looked at it with a book, it seemed that Chen Haoyan had nothing to do with him whether he was there or not.
After the two sat together for a long time, Chen Haoyan couldn't help but take the lead in opening his mouth. He knew that it was not a matter of sitting down like this, they could wait, but the army could not wait. Now that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, the war has become a one-sided trend, and his own army is losing and retreating, if he continues to retreat, Chen Haoyan knows that he can only retreat to Jinjinjian. It is almost impossible to march and fight in that desolate land with no people, where the terrain is flat, how to defend against the enemy's attack.
Coughing lightly, Chen Haoyan said: "Brother Yifan, you also know the situation outside, if the eldest brother is not to the point of exhaustion, he will not come to see you." For the safety of the rest of the soldiers, you can help your brother this time. ”
Jing Yifan put down the book, glanced at Chen Haoyan, and said slowly: "I'm afraid I can't resist the gossip in the army, right? ”
When you can use it, you will come to beg him, and when you don't need it, you will directly put his rights in the air, Jing Yifan does not want to suffer such a nest. This time, Jing Yifan was also ruthless, 60,000 sergeants sacrificed more than 10,000 people in just half a month, and seeing people dying next to him every day, Jing Yifan was also very entangled in his heart, whether to compromise and obey Chen Haoyan's arrangement? Or is it a desperate gamble, breaking the kettle, and using the ultimate means to get back the right to be a military advisor?
If he chooses to compromise, Jing Yifan knows that whatever he wants to do in the future will be tied up and subject to certain constraints. If you regain military power, you will be able to do what you want.
After several fierce battles in his heart, Jing Yifan still chose the latter, because he felt that his idea was not wrong at all, and he blindly chose to retreat, and he would always be harassed by the enemy. Even if you can repel the enemy this time, what about next time, what about next time?
If we want to solve things fundamentally, we can only start from the roots, and only by beating the enemy and fighting the enemy can we make the enemy afraid of Hongtian's strength and fundamentally relieve Hongtian's external troubles.
Therefore, this time Jing Yifan was ruthless, unless Chen Haoyan agreed to his control of the army, he would never compromise.
The meaning of Jing Yifan's words is obvious, if you want him to help, there is no other way than to give up the right to send troops. How could this Chen Haoyan not hear it, Chen Haoyan had an extremely embarrassed expression, and wanted him to hand over the military power, to be honest, he was really reluctant. But in the current situation, he can't resist the enemy's attack at all, and his morale is getting weaker and weaker, and if this continues, I'm afraid that these 40,000 people will also bury the frontier.
Chen Haoyan can't bury the entire army for his own selfishness, the authority of the military advisor is to be able to command the army, he disagrees with Jing Yifan's bold idea, so he empties Jing Yifan's authority as a military advisor. Now he can only pin all his hopes on Jing Yifan, whether he can let these 40,000 people live, even if Jing Yifan returns to military power, he will not hesitate.
"Well, last time I was wrong for my brother, and I apologize to you for my brother. But you can't ignore the life and death of 40,000 soldiers, as long as you can help me defend against the enemy army together, what do you want to do in the future, I just ask, that's it. ”
"Nacheng, that's what you said!" Jing Yifan's eyes flashed and he smiled.
"Yes, yes, you hurry up and think of a way to solve the dilemma in front of you, right?" Chen Haoyan was in no mood to joke with Jing Yifan, let alone hand over the military power now, even if he was asked to be a small soldier, there would be no complaints.
Jing Yifan smiled mysteriously, stood up and walked to a table, on the table, there were all kinds of sand and gravel, this is what Jing Yifan learned about the terrain and terrain of this area from the mouths of some scouts, although he did not go out to investigate in person, but from the mouths of several scouts, he also roughly understood the situation in this area.
"Brother Chen, come and see. ”
"What is this, isn't it just some sand and gravel, blades of grass? It's useless to look at this thing, you should find a way to deal with the enemy army now, where am I in the mood to fool around with you." ”
The sand table has never been heard of in this world, how could Chen Haoyan know it, and mistook it for an entertainment thing.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, the way to deal with the enemy army is here. Jing Yifan seemed to have known that Chen Haoyan would say this, smiled mysteriously, and pointed to the sand table.
"This is the way to deal with the enemy...... Broken things?" This time Chen Haoyan was really dead, sighed in disappointment, and said: "Forget it, since you don't have a good plan to retreat from the enemy, I still order to withdraw immediately." ”
Give hope to this thing that you don't know what it is, unless it's a brain disease. Chen Haoyan expected that Jing Yifan would not be able to come up with any good strategies against the enemy, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and was about to leave.
"Why should Brother Chen be anxious, listen to the younger brother's explanation. I call this thing the topographic sand table, that is, the appearance of an area is imitated with these sand and gravel. What Brother Chen sees now is the terrain of this area, and the place where we are now is here. ”
took out a stone and put it in the sand table, Jing Yifan looked at Chen Haoyan. After Jing Yifan's explanation, Chen Haoyan also took it seriously, observed it carefully, and could really see a little eyebrow from these sand stones.
"This ...... It's really the terrain of this area, yes, now the army is here, and the enemy army is here. Chen Haoyan has stayed here longer than Jing Yifan, and he is more familiar with the terrain here. On closer inspection, he also quickly put a stone into the sand table.
"Brother Chen is really smart, and he has mastered the sand table so quickly. This is indeed the enemy's garrison, only a dozen miles away from us, and my plan is to lure the wolf into the house, catch the turtle in the urn, and we will continue to retreat for the next few days, and when we get here, the enemy will enter this narrow valley, and then we will ...... like this."
This detailed discussion didn't end until midnight, Chen Haoyan really put his mind at ease this time, Jing Yifan told him all his strategies, and also demonstrated it with a terrain sand table, which really made him breathtaking, full of praise.
Before leaving, Chen Haoyan held Jing Yifan's hands tightly, and his eyes were full of fire. "Our army can have Yi Fan as a military advisor, why worry that the war cannot be quelled!"
