"What's more, the palace has already been deployed, and this battle will not affect the civilians of the Wu Dynasty."

After listening to Li Yunxing's words, Guo Mengsheng paused, and then slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to know what he is most afraid of.

Guo Mengsheng is by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise he would not have followed Emperor Wu to the battlefield to fight back then.

It's just that in the decisive battle of the Xiongnu before, the Huns chose to attack the villages around the city of the Wu Dynasty because they were unable to capture it for a long time.

Take pleasure in killing civilians, and regard human life as something to be played with at will.

At that time, Guo Mengsheng was only a small commander, and because the Wu Dynasty was suffering from the enemy, he was really unable to allocate more troops to support.

Guo Mengsheng had to rush back to his hometown alone.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he arrived, the slaughtered villages were empty, and the whole village was brutally killed by the Huns.

Even his own wife and young daughter were killed in the slaughter.

Since then, Guo Mengsheng has hated the Huns very much.

Even though he is now in a high position, he still regards the Huns as beasts of prey.

On one side there is fear, on the other side there is hatred.

It's just that Guo Mengsheng understands better that there is never right or wrong in war, only victory and defeat!

If you want to protect the country and defend the people, then you must win!

If you lose, you don't just lose your own life.

So he was even more curious, what kind of confidence does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have in such a victory?

"Your Highness, I wonder what your plan is?" Guo Mengsheng asked.

Li Yunxing glanced at the drawings in his hand: "The palace plans to take advantage of the geographical advantage and bring 3,000 elite soldiers to feint the Xiongnu's declining city with this siege cannon." ”

"Decadent City?"

When Guo Mengsheng heard this name, he immediately got up and stood up.

This is the closest city to the Wu Dynasty from the Xiongnu, and it is also a dangerous checkpoint.

Countless times the Wu Dynasty wanted to attack the Xiongnu, but it fell short because this decadent city was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Immediately turned over the table in the Taishou tent camp, but unexpectedly, the other side actually drew a map of the terrain of the Huns!

When Li Yunxing saw this, he knew it even more in his heart.

Sure enough, Guo Mengsheng never thought of unloading his armor and returning to his hometown.

Even under the table of the military tent is the terrain map of the Huns, which is enough to see that Guo Mengsheng's heart is unsettled.

Guo Mengsheng took out his pen and pointed at the northeast corner of the city: "The city was originally the gate of the northwest direction of our Wu Dynasty, but it was later lost and became the main military camp of the Huns. ”

"If you can take back the city and use it as a stronghold, you can stop the enemy from moving south. Moreover, the city can also be used as a supply point for the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty. ”

Guo Mengsheng continued: "By controlling the pass of the city, you can stop the southward movement of the Hun cavalry. As long as you defend it well, you can make it difficult for the enemy to move an inch! ”

Li Yunxing saw that Guo Mengsheng knew the terrain of the Xiongnu well, and he must have studied it on weekdays.

He agreed with Guo Mengsheng's thoughts, nodded, and agreed, "That's right." ”

"But...... Xia Guan still has doubts. ”

Guo Mengsheng hesitated for a long time, and finally looked up at Li Yunxing.

"Oh? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Li Yunxing said with a smile.

"In that case, why did His Highness suddenly seize the city of Decadence? You must know that if you capture the city, it is easy to cause a large-scale conflict. At that time, I am afraid that the army of our Wu Dynasty will suffer serious losses! ”

It is precisely because of such an important geographical factor that the Xiongnu have always put it in the first place.

The long-term heavy garrison also made it difficult for the Wu Dynasty to realize even if it had an idea.

Guo Mengsheng looked at Li Yunxing with some doubts, he didn't believe that the other party would make such a stupid decision.

After all, Li Yunxing's age is there, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a fledgling junior, it is impossible to have such courage, right?

"Hahaha......"

Who knows, instead of being annoyed, Li Yunxing burst out laughing.

Guo Mengsheng was a little confused about the situation, and thought to himself that this is an important matter, why does the prince still look confident?

Is it really in response to the sentence that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers?

"Guo Taishou, do you think this palace is too eager for quick success?"

"The lower officials don't dare."

Guo Mengsheng lowered his head to hide his emotions.

Li Yunxing shook his head and said lightly: "Guo Taishou doesn't know the reason, and this palace is not to blame. It's just that what Bengong just said is the truth. ”

"The reason why the palace wants to seize the city is to use the city to delay the enemy's southward steps. As for the purpose of this...... "

Speaking of this, Li Yunxing deliberately paused for a moment, and then a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What this palace wants is to take down the entire Mobei grassland in one fell swoop!"

"Hiss......"

Guo Mengsheng couldn't help but gasp.

The entire Mobei grassland?

Don't talk about the entire grassland, just this one Xiongnu has already made the Wu Dynasty miserable.

Now the prince is saying that he wants to annex the entire grassland, which is simply appalling!

"Too ...... Prince, this is a bad statement! Guo Mengsheng hurriedly persuaded.

"The Huns are brave and good at fighting, and our Wu Dynasty has a wide area and a small population, but if you want to mobilize 30,000 soldiers, you need to travel long distances and spend a lot of money and food. Not to mention, there are also the Hun iron cavalry ...... south."

"Where can you fight hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of the Huns at the same time?! It's a fantasy! ”

After Guo Mengsheng finished speaking, he found that his words were too intense.

Even if the prince is kind to talk now, if he speaks bluntly, I am afraid that he will also make Long Yan displeased.

Subsequently, Guo Mengsheng's face changed several times.

In the end, he said slowly: "The minister is just worried that our Wu Dynasty won't last long......"

After all, Li Yunxing is young, and he rashly reprimanded him, which is indeed a bit too much, and he can't help but be a little embarrassed.

Li Yunxing smiled slightly, without blaming Guo Mengsheng at all.

He patted Guo Mengsheng on the shoulder and said seriously: "Don't worry, this palace is not the kind of arrogant and ignorant person. Since this palace is going to do this, it is naturally certain! ”

Li Yunxing put his finger on the map, "This time it's not so much about conquering as it is about being a springboard." ”

Guo Mengsheng didn't quite understand what Li Yunxing meant.

I saw Li Yunxing pointing to the southwest direction of the city, and said slowly: "Taishou, please look, this is the city of Chu State." ”

"The Huns have now marched south, occupying Chu and approaching the main city. However, in order to avoid conflict with the Wu Dynasty, it was necessary to take a detour, and on the way, it was necessary to cross the Chu River and the Han border. As a result, they will be delayed, which will cause them to travel much slower! ”

"It will take nearly two months to go back and forth, so the palace is ready to take the opportunity to capture the city and cut off their marching supplies from the middle."
