Chapter 463: Defense

The current problems of the Third and Fourth Legions, in fact, are well known to the ministers, and they also know that Ye Junwen will definitely find an opportunity to deal with this problem, but they didn't expect it to be now. You said that now that the national crisis is at hand, Ye Junwen still wants to continue to fight for power and profit, and take the opportunity to solve the affairs of the third and fourth legions, is it too much?

According to Ye Junwen's meaning, let the third and fourth legions block the enemy's troops, if the other party obeys the order, it will naturally suffer huge losses, after all, the central government has not helped them at all, and they have not even given them military rations for the past few months, can this be stopped? If they don't go, Ye Junwen will definitely take the opportunity to say that they betrayed the country or something.

"But Lord Marshal, in the current situation, what if the Third and Fourth Army Corps not only did not obey the order, but also directly betrayed us, and the troops that joined the Saigus Empire attacked us in turn?" The prime minister also asked all the ministers what they wanted to know.

"That's not bad." Ye Junwen smiled and said, "Think about it, we were originally going to show weakness, and now that we have just started the war, the two legions have joined the enemy's troops, can there be a simpler way to show weakness than this?" I still hope they do it, so that it will be easier for them to solve it. ”

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.

"The most troublesome part of the Third and Fourth Army is the relationship between the generals and the soldiers, who have been leading the soldiers for a long time, and these generals and soldiers have a layer of trust with their comrades, and even if they rebel, the soldiers will follow. Therefore, if you want to move them, the soldiers are not easy to deal with, so how to relieve these soldiers of their trust in the general, if the general directly betrays the country and helps foreign enemies to invade their own territory, this is the best situation to affect the relationship between them. Ye Junwen said.

"No, Marshal, we know what you mean, but the problem now is that if this happens, we won't be able to stop the enemy and the rebels, and we'll not be ruined." The prime minister said anxiously, this is all gone, why do you care about the problem of the third and fourth legions.

"So as long as you win in the end, it's fine." Ye Junwen spread his hands, "There's no need to worry so much, the enemy will first guard against the attack of the Masodra Empire, so it can't be an all-out attack, just two or three hundred thousand troops, relying on my troops can be defeated." And the collective mutiny of the third and fourth legions you mentioned, it is possible to join them, but this may not necessarily enhance the combat effectiveness of the other party, this is close to 200,000 new troops, and their main force is about the same, they dare to use it casually? Besides, these soldiers are our own people, and they are bent on following their generals to rebel and kill their own countrymen? If the other side really accepts all of them, the troops will be even more chaotic, if they do not receive them, then it is two or three hundred thousand troops, relying on our main city plus hundreds of thousands of troops, can't we defend against the enemy's attack? ”

"This ......" I have to say that what Ye Junwen said is really reasonable, after all, there is the main city, and they still have hundreds of thousands of troops in the first and second legions, even if the enemy is 300,000, it is not so easy to attack this fortified city. And the problem of discord between the troops mentioned by Ye Junwen will indeed occur, you said that the 50,000 troops surrendered, they are estimated to be quite happy, but 200,000 at once, they themselves have a headache.

"Besides, even if the enemy really takes over, and then these rebels really follow the enemy to fight us, there is another problem, how to solve the problem of military food, 200,000 people is 200,000 mouths, the enemy is not so rich, I seem to have heard that the harvest of the Saigus Empire today is not very good......" Ye Junwen said, "So we have gathered the food of all the surrounding cities in the past few days, called preparing for battle, which is actually a strong wall and a clear field, Even if the enemy captures our city, they will not get any food and grass to replenish, they will not be able to hold out for much time, even if there is an army of 500,000, will we be able to hold out more than 100,000 people until the enemy has no food? ”

"This ......" all the ministers nodded again, yes, hundreds of thousands of troops gave them a lot of confidence, now think about it, the enemy's troops do not seem to be so easy to capture them.

"As long as we hold up for a while, the Maso della Empire will also take action and attack their land, and when the other party is worried about internal and external troubles, they will soon withdraw their troops, so that we have solved the problem of external troubles, and the problem of internal worries has also been dealt with, and the third and fourth legions, which are already disobedient, let themselves destroy themselves, although the lack of troops sounds like a loss, but the troops that are not of the same heart as us are not the same, and I don't think it's a bad thing to be gone." Ye Junwen said.

This makes some sense, although it is indeed troublesome to lose a lot of troops all at once, but it is better than these troops becoming rebels, right? was said by Ye Junwen, it seems that this war has become less dangerous, which makes the ministers who were originally anxious also breathe a sigh of relief.

"So, just do what the marshal wants, is there anyone else who has any opinions?" At this time, Beverly above spoke, of course she listened to Ye Junwen.

"Then it's up to the marshal." The civil officials were all persuaded by Ye Junwen, and seeing this situation, the prime minister also stepped forward and said.

"Hmm...... Then the task of clearing the field will be handed over to you, and of course the news here cannot be revealed. Ye Junwen said. If the news of their plan to abandon the outside city and only defend the main city spread, the surrounding people will naturally forget about the main city and run inside, and the main city will probably be in chaos at that time, and it will be chaotic without the enemy fighting. Of course, this news is to be closed, for this, the ministers will naturally not object, for them the commoners are just consumables, in order to protect the noble grandfather to sacrifice their lives is an honor for them, so those people die and die, die well.

And this news must not only be closed to the people, of course, it must not be known to the people of the enemy country, especially the matter of showing weakness and inciting the Masodra Empire to participate in the war, if they knew, of course they would not participate in the war. So Ye Junwen also said one more sentence: "I believe that everyone here should not have enemy spies, but it's not easy to say, in order to ensure that this news is not leaked out, please cooperate a little these days, I will let my subordinates keep an eye on it, and please don't make misleading moves, otherwise, I'd rather kill than let go, understand?" ”

Ye Junwen's threat, everyone understands it, isn't this the minister who only half of the main city died just now, now everyone knows that Ye Junwen has a very powerful spy assassination force, even if he really wants to betray the country, he has to think about it a little.

"Then that's it, I'll move the army, and you'll take care of the rest." Ye Junwen got up directly after speaking, and Emperor Beverly didn't say that the meeting was over, Ye Junwen left here directly, it was indeed a very faceless behavior, of course, this is not to give face, but also to everyone, the relationship between him and Beverly is not so bad, but if you don't give face to the emperor, it can make everyone understand who is in charge.

"So we're going to let the enemy's troops into our territory?" As soon as she came out, Selena here couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong? Do you feel sorry for those civilians too? Ye Junwen asked.

"No, I'm just thinking that if the enemy's troops attack along this route, they will pass through our fiefdom of Kachar." Selena said.

"Huh? Is it? Ye Junwen was slightly stunned.

"yes, there's a good chance it will pass." Selena said, "If the enemy burns and kills and plunders, our losses will be quite large, not to mention anything else, our Chamber of Commerce is currently selling animal power pills, one of the raw materials is from Kachar, and it is only produced in Kachar, if the enemy really captures the Kachar region and burns these raw materials, this business is ......"

"I really didn't expect that." Ye Junwen touched his head, even if this enemy burned other people's cities, it was indeed a headache to burn his own territory.

"That'...... What to do? Selena asked.

"In short, let's see the reaction of the Third and Fourth Army Corps first." Ye Junwen said, "What is still unclear is the reaction of the third and fourth armies, their decision is still very important to this strategic arrangement, and we will talk about what to do after they react." ”

"Hmm." Selena nodded slightly, it is true that the third and fourth legions are not sure if they will really rebel, what if they really resist desperately? This seems to be a different story.

"Well, we can't be completely unprepared." Ye Junwen thought for a while and said, "According to the original plan, I will go directly to the Fourth Legion and meet with the other party's legion commander." ”

"Still going?" Selena was slightly surprised.

"At this time, I just went to see what the other party meant, and if I really wanted to be my enemy, then this time I would trap them with the enemy. Of course, if the other party is still a little sincere, it's okay to take them with you. Ye Junwen said, "But you don't have to worry so much, in the end, the winner must be me." ”

"Hmm...... I believe you. Selena here nodded and said with great certainty.

"Oh?" Ye Junwen was a little surprised that Selena was so confident in herself, indeed judging from her previous attitude, Selena was also the one who believed in herself the most in the other world, and of course it was also the reason why Ye Junwen trusted her very much, "That's good, but just in case, it's better to make some preparations first, if something really happens in the province, the loss will be big." I'll go to Skam first to talk about the situation. “
