Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

Chapter 147 Emergency Military Meeting

"Since this is the situation now, why didn't you just attack the city?"

"Even if it needs to be repaired, it will be better than it is now!"

Bao Bu Tong suddenly expressed the anger that had been accumulating in his heart for a while.

Although he admired Lin Yi very much, no one would be satisfied with the current military and national affairs that had reached this point step by step!

"It's me who doesn't want to attack the city."

Huangfu Qingling said, "For this matter, I am the only one to blame."

"And I."

Prince Qing sighed as he spoke, "I was the first to bring it up. The capital cannot be attacked casually. Even during the last rebellion by Prince Qi, I didn't attack the city directly."

"Things can change. No one can predict it. If Xiao Changyun hadn't discovered our actions, we would have been in the capital by now."

Lin Yi frowned and was also thinking about countermeasures.

The most important issue now is no longer Xiao Changyun in the capital, but "General Sun" who is about to attack.

"General Yu, who is this General Sun?"

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Jin. As the Minister of War, he naturally understood the military power in the world.

The environment in the entire hall was very depressing and no one knew how to deal with it.

"General Sun, whose name is Sun Hu, is the son of the famous general Sun Yan."

"He originally had the opportunity to stay at court, but he was too impetuous in leading his troops and treated his soldiers poorly, so several assistant ministers of the Ministry of War jointly sent him to the Jiangnan region."

Yu Jin relayed the information.

"Lin Yi is right. The problem now is an army of 10,000 versus 70,000."

"If it's a head-on attack, I should still be fine."

Prince Qing said, "With the Xuanwu Chariot for long-range and frontal attacks, it won't be a big problem."

"I have no objection to that."

"However, if we move south in advance to fight Sun Hu, Xiao Changyun will definitely send troops!"

Yu Jin analyzed, "By then, we'll be attacked from both the north and the south. No matter how powerful Prince Qing's army is, it will be difficult to reverse the situation."

Of course, he didn't say the following words.

Ten thousand against seventy thousand plus less than ten thousand stabbed in the back, this is a big taboo in military strategy.

"If we let Sun Hu enter the city, with 70,000 people defending it, we will be even more unable to capture it."

Prince Qing shook his head and said, "Not to mention, we are still thinking about how to preserve the capital."

"Bao Bu Tong, what's your idea?"

Huangfu Qingling followed Bao Bu Tong's words, but turned her face to Lin Yi, "Lin Yi, you listen to me first this time. If there is really no other way, I will still listen to you."

What Bao Bu Tong said before does make sense.

After all, the solution was Lin Yi's idea, so naturally Lin Yi should be responsible.

The current situation of being attacked from all sides is a fact.

"I understand. I'll go do something else first."

Lin Yi said this and returned to his room in the hotel to start drawing.

Then everyone continued to discuss solutions.

"What if we launch another surprise attack?"

"Although we failed before, we can always try again!"

Yang Jian said, "The problem is Xiao Changyun. As long as we can catch Xiao Changyun, everything will be solved!"

"Now that the imperial seal is back, what if I issue an imperial edict ordering Sun Hu to withdraw his troops?"

Huangfu Qingling was also thinking of a solution.

"There is another way."

Prince Qing had just spoken when he fell silent. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Retreat, retreat north of the Nanhe River."

"Think long term."

After he said these four words, he was immediately rejected.

This is something no one can accept.

"Yang Jian, Huang Chang, you were originally generals of the State of Yan."

"How will you handle this situation now?"

Huangfu Qingling asked Yang Jian and Huang Chang.

After all, these two people are also generals, and they are generals of the Yan State.

The army of Yan State has always been fierce in battle, not to mention its generals.

"If we can bring Yan's soldiers with us, there shouldn't be any problems."

Huang Chang said, "Although it may be a bit derogatory, the individual strength and morale of Dayong's soldiers are not as good as those of Yan State."

"That's right. If it weren't for Lin Yi's little gadgets, I'm afraid that two years ago, your entire army would have been able to capture Liangzhou City."

Prince Qing nodded slightly, thinking of the time more than two years ago when he had not yet met Lin Yi.

The war in the north was urgent, and everyone was indeed forced into a corner by the Yan army.

But now the battle is about to begin, and we can't let Yang Jian and Huang Chang train these 10,000 people at the speed of light.

Even in Prince Qing's army, there are only a few hundred soldiers who can match the individual abilities of the Yan army.

Are we going to rely on these few hundred people to fight?

If we really win, it would be a true legend.

"The discussion now focuses on planning the offense in advance."

"Why not think about the layout after Sun Hu's 70,000 troops are placed in the capital."

Yu Jin shook his head and said that attacking Sun Hu in advance was simply not feasible.

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss how to attack and defend if Sun Hu were to enter the city with an army of 80,000 people.

……

At the same time, Sun Hu's large army had already crossed Zhujiang.

"General Sun, our soldiers are exhausted and I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue advancing!"

Several deputy generals nearby warned, "Since we've already crossed Zhujiang, we might as well set up camp and rest for a while!"

"Rest? What the hell!"

Sun Hu snorted coldly, "Arming a battle with your back to the water is a taboo in military strategy!"

"Everyone, hurry forward! Let's rest in the woods ahead!"

He roared, then mounted his horse and galloped away.

Behind him, the 70,000-strong army had no choice but to keep moving forward without stopping.

That night, they stopped to rest eighty miles south of the capital.

"What did the spy say?"

"How is the situation in the capital?"

In the main camp, Sun Hu looked at his lieutenants and said, "Everyone, cheer up!"

"General Sun, we've been on the road all the time and haven't had a break at all!"

Several deputy generals frowned and looked sleepy.

"Report!"

"News from the capital!"

The spy reported and immediately reported the news from the capital.

"Ten thousand men? Besiege the city?"

Sun Hu burst into laughter. "I think Xiao Changyun is crazy. He wants me to fight a mere 10,000 people?"

"Depart tonight!"

"Go to forty miles south of the capital before you rest!"

Under the order, the 70,000-strong army had to continue its forced march.

They didn't know that while they were sending out spies, Prince Qing's spies were also spying on them.

……

It was already very late, but the lobby of the Jingdu Hotel was still brightly lit.

After discussing for most of the day, they still couldn't come up with a good solution.

"Let's call Lin Yi."

Prince Qing sighed, "Even if I have fought in battle with the Black Tortoise Chariot, I wouldn't know it as well as its creator."

Having said this, everyone placed their last hope on Lin Yi.

A moment later, Lin Yi came down.

"Lin Yi, what's your solution to this situation?"

Prince Qing asked immediately when he saw Lin Yi coming down.

"Withdraw the siege."

Hearing these two words, everyone present frowned.

This is the worst option!

"Hit him!"

Lin Yi’s subsequent words were even more confusing.
