Chapter 388 Maintenance

Zhao Bing did not choose this meeting in the meeting room on the second floor, nor in the leisure hall on the top cabin, but placed it in a private small hall called the war room. There were people on duty day and night, the door was closed, and a double post was set up. Not to mention Zhang Shijie, even Liu Xiufu, who had lived on the Emperor's Boat for many days, had never been in.

"Please come in, don't be restricted!" Zhao Bing let everyone into the house and smiled, and he left only a clerk and servant who served tea and poured water, and even the guards were not left.

"Your Majesty, are all Yashan Geometric Map hanging here?" As soon as Zhang Shijie entered the house, he saw that the walls of the cabin were full of maps. The most conspicuous one was Yashan Map. It not only marked the surrounding markers, but also detailed the waterways, sandbanks and surrounding terrain, which was much more detailed than his map.

"The Taifu has such a good eye, you can tell at a glance." Zhao Bing looked up and said, "Praise".

"Haha, Your Majesty has praised you!" Zhang Shijie bowed and smiled.

"The Grand Tutor doesn't have to be too polite, let's sit here!" Zhao Bing pointed to a long desk. The desk was wide, covered with green felt and chairs were placed around him.

"Please treat me!" The emperor naturally sat on. According to the etiquette of right-right literature and left-right martial arts, Zhang Shijie sat on the lower left, and Liu Fu asked 6 Xiufu to sit on the lower right. Liu Fu, who knew His Majesty best, felt a little blushed at this moment. His Majesty had never praised him like this, nor had he pulled a chair for him. Today, he praised and gave up his seat to Zhang Shijie. This was too numb, but Zhang Shijie was very helpful.

"You are waiting under the boat, don't you know that weapons are not allowed to be carried in the palace?" The decoration of this room was clear at a glance. There was no compartment or curtain, and no one could be hidden, and His Majesty did not leave the guards by his side. So honest, Zhang Shijie naturally felt embarrassed to let his guards stay in the cabin, waved his hand to find a reason to let them go out, showing that he was also open-minded. Su Liuyi, who followed him like this, was naturally embarrassed. He took the sword and handed it off the boat.

"I must know what I want to ask my dear friends to come!" After someone came to tea, Zhao Bing glanced at the four people present and said.

"Your Majesty, I know." 6 Xiufu bowed, "Your Majesty wants to relieve the danger of the military and civilians' cut off the water."

"What are the great opinions of the Grand Tutor?" Zhao Bing nodded and turned to ask Zhang Shijie.

"Your Majesty, this situation is a mistake. Please punish me!" Zhang Shijie bowed and said ashamed.

"The Taifu is so serious that he is in power in urgent matters. At that time, we knew very little about the enemy and had no idea of ​​the intentions. Although the Taifu is more conservative in doing this, there is nothing wrong with it. There is no need to go over and blame yourself!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said with a 'generous'.

"Thank you Your Majesty to be considerate. I am ashamed. Please let Your Majesty say first!" Because his strategy of building a village was criticized by his ministers, Zhang Shijie has been under great pressure since the war started. Facts have proved that his strategy has also failed. At least the morale of cutting off wood and water has made the army unstable, and he can only supply limited water to the elite Huai Army. He also knew that if it lasted for a while, the soldiers would probably mutiny. It can be said that he was criticized for the matter of water, but His Majesty, who is the "opponent", was very considerate and comforted him.

"Then I will say a few words first, and I will add to the shortcomings, my dearest ones!" Zhao Bing said with a wave of his hand. The felt on the left-behind general Lin Zhi's desk was uncovered, revealing a sand table. He shook the handle a few times, and the sand table gradually rose. He stopped until it was higher than the table, and then he held a baton to His Majesty before retreating.

"The Yuan army has blocked the southern entrance to the sea at this moment, and arranged ambushers on Sanhu Island, blocking Qiaoji Road, intending to besiege our army and consume our strength." Zhao Bing used a baton to give a few tips on the sand table to briefly introduce the situation of the enemy and us. "The Taifu's original plan was to make the enemy tired and retreat helplessly through persistence, but there was an omission that was that the enemy could not expect that the enemy would forcibly climb 6 to control Qiaoji Road while we burned the palace, which made us passive, and made it difficult for the Taifu to implement the strategy of defending and attacking."

"Well, losing Qiao Jilu was my mistake. I also tried to use troops to retake it, but they all returned in vain, which made the situation extremely unfavorable to our dynasty!" Zhang Shijie heard that the emperor's accusations were extremely gentle, and even wanted to defend himself, so he admitted that he had made inadequate plans.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do. Why is the enemy unwilling to attack quickly? Instead, it delayed for half a month!" 6 Hideo asked.

"Haha, the Taifu once served under the father of the enemy chief Zhang Hongfan, so he naturally knew his background. His young man was successful but he was extremely calm and had a strange plan. Therefore, the Taifu made an iron barrel formation so that he had nowhere to attack and was difficult to break. He forced him to attack quickly to advance, and he had to find another way." Zhao Bing heard that the meaning of Liu Xiufu's words was that Zhang Shijie was too reckless and that the battle situation was stalemate was just a plan for the enemy, and it was definitely not his merit.

"Of course, the enemy army also had some inadequate plans. Although the enemy chief granted Zhang Hongfan totalitarian power, he was a Han general after all, and his dispatch was not effective. He arrived from Chaoyang on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and some ships were flew by the ships. Li Heng's troops were stationed in Guangzhou, but he arrived a few days later, which made Zhang Hongfan's troops insufficient and he could only bluff, but he didn't want to be too weak, but it was difficult to fight. But he only regretted that the thief was too cunning that we could not notice at the time, otherwise we could defeat him first while the troops were weak, and the situation would be much better."

"Your Majesty's analysis is that his resentful ministers have a poor vision and misjudged the enemy's situation, which leads to passiveness!" Zhang Shijie was originally worried that he would be accused of being dereliction of duty by the civil officials. The emperor's side-hearing and trusting made him even more embarrassing, which deepened the grudges between the two. Unexpectedly, His Majesty was extremely 'wise', but he did not mix in personal grudges at all, which made him even more moved.

"As your majesty, the enemy has arrived now, and the military discipline has been rectified, they are about to start a decisive battle!" 6 Hideo said with a frown.

"Yes, although they have blocked all our access to and from the sea, they also know that our troops and warships are superior, and they can advance and retreat with the tide, and they can still break through the siege by taking advantage of the strong winds and tides. This makes it difficult to complete the task of the enemy chief asking them to annihilate our dynasty. Therefore, they first cut off the draw of water to weaken our strength, but the day of the decisive battle is not far away!"

"Your Majesty's intention is to fight with the enemy for Qiaoji Road, break the enemy's intention to fight, and force him to confront us for a long time to drag down the enemy's army!" Zhang Shijie said.
