The valley breeze is blowing, and the mountains and moons are secluded.

Hearing Huan Wen blurt out 'the outcome is unknown', all the generals present looked at him in a little surprise, and some even frowned, throwing their eyes at Huan Wen, as if they were looking at a fool!

In their opinion, using the only remaining soldiers and horses to captain the Qin army's 100,000 tigers and wolves is tantamount to a fool's dream.

However, there was one person in the scene who seemed very excited, and that was Liu Huai, the crown prince and governor of the current dynasty.

Liu Huai got up and said excitedly, "Okay! The master is heroic. In the spring and autumn of that year, in the battle of Wu Chu Baiju, Wu Wang Lu led 30,000 Wu troops deep into Chu and defeated 200,000 main forces of Chu at Baiju. In the battle of Julu, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, led tens of thousands of Chu troops, and the main force of 400,000 Qin troops led by Zhang Han and Wang Lisuo of the Qin Dynasty fought a decisive battle in Julu. Counting the ancient and modern, there are countless precedents for winning with less victory and more defeat, and now our army generals are all there, and the morale is like a rainbow, why can't we plan carefully and turn defeat into victory? ”

Everyone's eyes were even more surprised.

If Huan Wen said that 'the victory or defeat is unknown', then the prince Liu Huai said that 'the victory or defeat is unknown', but it is true.

I saw that Liu Huai was very excited, he stood in the center of the big tent, and shouted loudly, "Now, I still have 4,000 soldiers to fight against the rebel army in the east, the white raccoon dog camp is still there, and the generals are still there, although the Qin army is strong, but after all, the long journey and long march must be the end of the strong crossbow, besides, the enemy's new victory, it must be careless, our army is newly defeated, but the mourning army will win." Generals, we will regroup and plan carefully, and kill him with a horse pistol, and we will be done! ”

After Liu Huai finished speaking, he looked around the audience, but soon, he was stunned.

No one interacted with him, no one responded to his agitation, not even the one who sighed.

In the face of the strange ideas of the crown prince Liu Huai, everyone, including Huan Wen and Wang Biaozhi, chose to remain silent.

Silent for a moment, in the end, it was Mo Jingchun who took the lead in opening his mouth, this general who had experienced ups and downs but was unswerving, got up and stood in front of Liu Huai, confronted him and said, "The words of the metropolitan governor are not good, throughout the ages, with fewer victories and more battles, or there is the danger of the mountain pass, the trust of the general trend, or the people's hearts are back, or there are clever strategies, and the victors are full of soldiers and have been planning for a long time." Now, although there are 4,000 soldiers in my expedition to the east to fight against the rebels, the Qin army is a battalion step by step, and there are no flaws. ”

These words were straightforward, and they did not give Liu Huai the slightest face.

Without waiting for Liu Huai to open his mouth to refute, Chen Buye opened his mouth first.

"Win or lose? Huan Duwei is confused? Chen Buye's eyes widened and he stared at Huan Wen, and said in a deep voice, "There are only 4,000 men left in the Eastern Army, no matter how strict you are, the other party is well prepared, step by step, even if Han Xin is reincarnated and Xiang Yu is resurrected, how can he turn things around?" ”

Huan Wen was helpless, so he had to shake his head and sit back, he left a meaningful sentence, "Mixed in the temple, people are practiced, the truth is not necessarily a good word, and a good word does not have to be true." Chen Buye, what you think is just a matter of the battlefield! But the world is never just a matter of the battlefield. ”

Chen Buye snorted coldly, "Outside the battlefield, I naturally understand. But as a human being, treat others with true heart and gall, although things may not be successful, people will see my liver and gallbladder in the future. If you deal with things with a deceitful heart, people will be confused for a while, and people will see my heart in the future! When you can't have both fish and bear's paws, sacrifice your life and take righteousness! ”

Huan Wen shook his head helplessly and didn't speak.

Now that the flying pigeon has flown to the capital, it is useless to take advantage of the tongue at this time.

The needles in the tent could be heard, and some nimble minds had already guessed the reason for Huan Wen's shock, and they all showed expressions of concern and concern.

Liu Huai is not a fool, he ignored Mo Jingchun's collision, Jiong Ling's eyes turned and turned, and suddenly the case was big, "Chen Buye, you dare to hit the little report of the governor of Bendu?" ”

Huan Wen once again showed a helpless expression.

The court is cunning and cunning, and if you want to be comfortable in the temple, in addition to the talent of Jishi Jinglun, you also need many skills and means. Among them, the most important and most suitable means for mediocre people is to take into account both public and private affairs by privatization, and use them well, not to mention smooth sailing, at least they will not capsize in the gutter.

It's like Liu Huai just said, 'Chen Buye beat his own little report', which makes people hear it at first glance, and leaves a negative impression that Liu Huai is abolishing the public for private purposes, which is not done by a wise man.

But if you change the phrase and replace this sentence with 'Chen Buye violated the military order and privately sent letters', everything will seem righteous and impeccable.

After listening to Liu Huai's words, Huan Wen sat in the banquet, shook his head slightly, and sighed secretly in his heart: Prince, prince, this kind of thing is taught day and night, why can't you learn it? Is it because the minister's ability is limited, or is it that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not listen to others?

Liu Huai was about to attack, and a soldier hurriedly walked out from behind Wang Biao, holding a Jinling goshawk that had been shot by a bow and arrow in his hand, and reported, "Dadu Governor, the letter eagle has been shot by us, and the letter has been taken out." ”

Huan Wen and Wang Biao breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time, and pinched a handful of sweat.

It turned out that when the army was defeated and retreated, Wang Biaozhi in order to help the prince better control the senior generals in the army, specially sent cronies mixed in the army, when Chen Buye Feiying passed the book, Wang Biaozhi knew the news for the first time, he sent ten sharpshooters to wait on the way south to Chang'an, and when the Jinling goshawk flew by, he immediately shot and killed, which helped the prince Liu Huai to save the day.

Chen Buye clenched his fists and looked at Wang Biaozhi angrily, if his eyes could kill, Wang Biaozhi would have died a hundred times.

Huan Wen didn't care about Chen Buye's angry gaze, he immediately got up, tore the letter in the hand of the soldier to shreds, and then reflexively said to Liu Huai, "Metropolitan Governor, Chen Duhou is also anxious for the country, and he made mistakes in his busyness, and asked the Metropolitan Governor not to ask Yu Duhou for his crimes." ”

The reason why Huan Wen immediately tore up the letter and excused Chen Buye at this moment was because of his own considerations.

First, now that the army of the Eastern Expedition has just escaped, it is the time when it is necessary to unite and concentrate its efforts, and it is no longer possible to arbitrarily punish the generals and shake the hearts of the three armies. Second, Chen Buye is a celebrity around His Majesty, with Chen Buye's temperament, when he returns to Gyeonggi, he will definitely bring out this battle and discernment, and the relationship is too stiff at this time, so there is no room for maneuver.

Seeing Huan Wen's energetic eyes, although Liu Huai was reluctant and puzzled, he didn't care about it anymore.

After Chen and Wang were seated, Huan Wen stood in the center of the tent, looked at Mo Jingchun and Sun Yun, and couldn't help but sigh, "The five armies in the east, when they come, the five generals, the two of them will go back!" ”

Wait, there were five people here, why did only two of them come back?
