Nie Mingyu exhaled and struggled to stabilize his body.

"Although we have planted a big heel in the matter of grain and grass, but now, the grain and grass on the Beiyuan side is still insufficient, if Xiao Chengfeng wants to fight quickly, he will definitely concentrate his forces to attack Hecheng with all his might."

Although they were poisoned, if they wanted to capture them all, they would have to be guarded by a lot of troops.

Dispersing forces to take care of a group of soldiers who have lost their combat strength is not cost-effective for Beiyuan.

"What if Beiyuan slaughters ruthlessly?" Wang Ye couldn't help but speak.

"Xiao Chengfeng won't do this." It was Shi Yu who spoke, "Although the two countries are at war, if the poisoning is really in the front and the slaughter is in the back, let's not talk about this matter first, will it cause a lot of scolding." And in this way, it is bound to anger the Tianjin soldiers, and under the monstrous anger and hatred, it will only make Beiyuan face more fierce resistance. ”

"The emperor is right." Nie Mingyu nodded and continued, "Although it is said that Xiao Chengfeng's methods are cruel, this king does not feel like a person who loves to kill, and now for Beiyuan, the most important thing is to capture Crane City. ”

Nie Mingyu's words were firm.

Wang Ye's face stiffened, in fact, he also knew that leaving the poisoned soldiers behind was the best way at the moment.

But......

He couldn't help but look at Shi Yu, "Your Majesty, do you also agree with the prince's method?" ”

"Uncle Huang said that it is indeed the best way to do it at the moment."

Wang Ye's eyes darkened, but the next moment, he heard Shi Yu speak again.

"I don't agree, though."

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked up at Shi Yu again.

Nie Mingyu also frowned and looked at her, "Your Majesty, at a critical moment, you must not be emotional. ”

"I'm not emotional, I'm thinking about the big picture." Shi Yu paused slightly, and looked directly at Nie Mingyu's gaze, "Uncle Huang, what you just said is indeed reasonable, but all of this is based on speculation about Xiao Chengfeng, and no one is completely sure." ”

"This King ......"

Nie Mingyu wanted to speak, but Shi Yu interrupted him.

"Uncle Huang, you listen to me first. Even if Xiao Chengfeng was sensible enough, he did not disperse his forces to capture the poisoned soldiers, or slaughter everyone. But can you guarantee that he will not threaten the lives of his soldiers? ”

Nie Mingyu frowned fiercely, "If that's the case, the emperor must not be soft-hearted, behind Hecheng are countless people of the Heavenly Jin Dynasty, which is more important, the emperor must think clearly." ”

"Even if I don't have a soft heart, if the two armies face each other, Beiyuan deliberately slaughters in front of the battle, threatening to open the city gate, and is the emperor's uncle, can I really be like a rock?"

"And those soldiers who defend the city, how will they feel if they watch their former companions fall one by one?"

"Uncle Huang, when you are constantly interrupted, I understand the truth of being chaotic. But I can't treat the lives of so many soldiers as outcasts, and pin their lives, and even the lives and deaths of the emperor's uncle, on whether Xiao Chengfeng can be merciful. ”

"Such an approach may not be decisive and rational enough, but since it has not yet reached the moment when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, then every soldier should not be abandoned."

Since entering the barracks, Shi Yu has rarely said so much.

She thinks that she really doesn't know enough about things on the battlefield, and rarely expresses her opinions.

But at this moment, her tone was firm and undoubted, and a royal power quietly leaned out of her body and spread around her, making people unconsciously want to agree.

Wang Ye looked at Shi Yu approvingly, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately! Fortunately, the emperor did not agree to this plan.

Nie Mingyu also looked at Shi Yu, but his mood was even more complicated.

He thought that giving up poisoning and the soldiers was the most rational thing to do, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be infected by Shi Yu's determination.

After a long time, he motioned for the military doctor to let go of himself, and for the first time made a serious courtier salute.

"Minister, obey!"

The decision was made, and soon the evacuation of the soldiers began.

Although the military camp is not far from Hecheng, there are so many soldiers marching, and there are also poisoned soldiers, so the speed must not be fast.

Nie Mingyu was forced to get up after a short period of awakening, and it didn't take long for him to fall into a coma again.

Shi Yu and Wang Ye quickly made a good division, and when the sky just dawned, the first wave of evacuated soldiers had already set off.

The grain was no longer edible, and the car that was originally used to transport the grain happened to be used to transport the soldiers who were seriously poisoned and unconscious.

Although it was an extremely embarrassing withdrawal, when the evacuation was announced, the words of never giving up on any soldier gave everyone enough encouragement, so even if it was a retreat, it would not be demoralized.

As for the fact that Hecheng could not accommodate all the soldiers, Shi Yu and Wang Ye carefully calculated that about a quarter of the soldiers were difficult to withdraw into Hecheng.

After determining this, Shi Yu made another decision, divided a small force and withdrew to the west with a part of the poisoned soldiers, as far away from the march route of Beiyuan as possible. As for the candidates who did not enter the city, they followed the principle of voluntariness, and Chu Yan'an would leave with them.

When the news reached the Beiyuan military camp, Xiao Chengfeng had already reorganized the army, and as long as he gave an order, he could set off and launch an attack.

Hearing Yue Ge's report, Xiao Chengfeng sneered, "It's really a woman's kindness!" ”

In the case of today's Jin, the most rational thing to do is undoubtedly to give up the poisoned soldiers, concentrate all forces, and make every effort to defend Hecheng.

Nie Shiyu not only had to bring those poisoned soldiers into the city, but also those who couldn't enter the city, so he even had to disperse his forces to escort them away.

This is the battlefield, what is needed is to kill decisively, look ahead, and want to protect everyone's life, but in the end you will only lose more and lose everything!

"Your Majesty, do you need to send troops to stop the departing team, if you catch them, maybe you can threaten the soldiers of the Tianjin Dynasty and use them to shake the hearts of the army." Yue Ge said.

Xiao Chengfeng thought for a moment and shook his head to deny this idea.

"If the Tianjin Dynasty leaves the poisoned soldiers, we catch people and use them as threats, maybe we can shake the hearts of the Tianjin army. But now, Nie Shiyu has done his best, and if he uses this method again, I am afraid that there will be no other effect except to anger the soldiers of the Heavenly Jin. ”

Moreover, the lack of food and grass for them has still not been solved, and instead of scattering their forces to do useless work, it is better to attack the city with all their might!

"Pass the order down, after a stick of incense, march to Hecheng!"

At dusk, the soldiers of the Celestial Empire successfully retreated into Crane City.

And Beiyuan's army also arrived only ten miles away from Hecheng and set up camp.

Shi Yu stood on the wall of Hecheng, and could vaguely see the stretching army in the distance, like a creeping beast, just waiting for the dawn of the next day.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Shi Yu turned his head to look back and saw Jiang Xia.

"You don't want to tell me that you've calculated another hexagram, right?"
