Chapter 377: Tired Soldiers (1)

The sky was getting darker and there was no impression of the officials in Yecheng who were walking back and forth. His Royal Highness gathered all the ministers to discuss matters. General Liu Yao was also preparing soldiers' money and food. Even the officials who were idle were busy and rushed back and forth. Those who were in charge of official duties were hard to get rid of, so they could only get rid of some relatives and friends in the court to walk on both sides.

In just one hour, the ministers finally let go of their thoughts. It turned out that His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince was not targeting Liu Yao, but on the contrary, he strongly supported the ministers, so that they could not mislead national affairs because of the rifts of the past. Such a deep understanding of the great righteousness and taking the overall situation into consideration was what a prince should do, but His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince, who was indifferent to the past, suddenly acted like this, which made the ministers feel that things were unusual.

It’s unusual, and everyone follows His Royal Highness the Prince. This is a big tree in the future. How can I not hold it tightly? Some of my subordinates thought about it and felt that the Prince was still a little insincere, and they couldn’t help but be a little negligent in the military and political administration. From outside the border, His Royal Highness the Prince saw that Liu Yao was disliked, and he was as hateful as if he was lit! This time it was very likely that it was just a storyteller, so he should not take it seriously.

After speculating clearly about the meaning of His Royal Highness, a group of people will inevitably regain their old ways when doing things. Unexpectedly, they were beaten up by the people sent by the Prince soon, and they said so much. Everyone finally understood that His Royal Highness was saying true. Whoever was negligent and deliberately delayed the preparation for the army to go to war would lose his head and had nothing to say.

Only a very few ministers knew that Liu Yao had already met His Highness the Crown Prince under the threading of Liu Hong. Although he didn't know what to do, the subsequent series of actions meant that the relationship between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty's beloved son Liu Yao had improved, and even a deeper story can be seen from His Highness the Crown Prince's support for Liu Yao. However, these extremely few ministers understood that if this was the case, it would be difficult to win the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince and Liu Yao. Since that was the case, who would still say it?

The prince is still recuperating in the mansion. With Liu Yao on his way to the expedition instead of the prince, staying in Yedu is also a very good choice. As long as Yedu is safe and sound, the reward for this guard will be quite a lot in the future, and there is no risk.

But in Liu Yao's mansion, an uninvited guest came, Wang Mi!

"If the general fights many times in the pseudo-Han, it is a blessing for the country!" After hearing Wang Mi's complaints, Liu Yao certainly would not be stupid enough to cause trouble for Liu Ju, but the meaning of recruiting Wang Mi was beyond words.

Wang Mi is also a scheming person. He knows that what he wants now is not to deal with Liu Ju, but to make contributions as soon as possible to regain military power. Back then, he held heavy troops in the Northern Camp, and even people like Crown Prince Liu He and Liu Yao gave him some face. But now he has no military power, and even a minion like Liu Ju dares to scold him. The difference is self-evident.

"I heard that the general was about to send troops. Wang Mi had this intention. I dare to ask about the general's strategy!" Wang Mi stood up and put his fists to express his sincerity and asked further.

Liu Yao nodded and smiled, "General Wang is unparalleled in strategy, and it is known to everyone in the court and the country. What should we do if the general uses troops?"

"Hmm? It seems that it will be impossible not to take some strength..." Seeing that Liu Yao was unintentionally revealing his strategy, Wang Mi asked himself back and sighed in his heart. Just this sentence explained his situation. Only by showing his ability to see can he continue to climb upward, otherwise he may be underestimated and buried.

Thinking of this, Wang Mizhengrong said: "After the end of the strategy of retreating to the enemy, we should focus on Chaoge City."

As the fortress that was first conquered by the Han army, Chaoge is now guarding the Han army general Luo Xian, and successfully repelled the army of the Later Han prince Liu He. It is as solid as Mount Tai.

"Why is Chaoge?" Liu Yao asked curiously. Wang Mi has always planned and then acted, and he often had few plans to make mistakes. If there was a military strategy for counselor Wang Mi, his confidence in winning could be said to be doubled.

Wang Mi pondered for a moment and said, "Yuwen's department and Zhang Fang attacked Jiang Boyue, and their power was restricted by the two parts. If the general went there, the situation would be impossible to change. Moreover, the pseudo-Han people occupied the coastal cities and counties, and the logistics support was sufficient, so they could devote themselves to the battle. However, our army was short of food and grass, which was difficult to last."

"General Wang's words are reasonable. If this battle can be delayed for three months, our army will not have the power to take the initiative to attack!" Liu Yao said with deep feelings.

The Han people invaded Hebei for more than ten days. Every day, the Later Han soldiers mobilized money and grain supplies to replenish money and grain every day. The Later Han had inexhaustible military forces, but they had no money and grain. Although they could be transported from the frontier, the migration was delayed and the loss along the way was even more shocking. Once the war lasted for a long time, the Later Han would fall into a completely passive situation due to the lack of money and grain in their eyes.

Wang Mi continued: "Looking at the moment, few people in the world can compete with Jiang Wei. No one can defeat him head-on in the old day. What do the general think?"

Wang Mi, who had always been a master of strategy, praised the enemy's general to such a situation. Even if Liu Yao had always known Jiang Wei's ability, he was still angry. But then he thought that even if he led the army, with the cooperation of Yuwen's troops and general Zhang Fang, he would still be unsure whether he could defeat Jiang Wei.

Thinking of this, Liu Yao said with some annoyance: "Jiang Bo's appointment is really difficult, there is no doubt about this!"

Seeing this, Wang Mi laughed and said, "It's easier than Jiang Wei's army, Luo Xian from Chaoge City. Don't the general think so?"

Liu Yao frowned and said, "Luo Xian is also a famous general in the Central Plains. How easy is it to have him to guard Chaoge?"

He raised his hand and pried out two fingers, and Wang Mi's face turned dark and said, "There are only two words, I dare to die."

"Do you want Jiang Wei to run around and use this to exhaust the pseudo-Han army to find a fighter opportunity?" Seeing Wang Mi say the word "death", Liu Yao knew his intention and became alert to Wang Mi's ruthlessness.

Wang Mi stared at Liu Yao and said word by word: "I have been observing Chaoge's Han army in Dangyin for a long time. I saw that the defenders were fewer and the cavalry were scarce. This is a sign of the number of defenders in the city. When Luo Xian first entered Chaoge, his infantry was less than 10,000, and he should be around 5,000, and he should send heavy troops to attack him. It is not difficult to break Chaoge without hesitation."

"In the event of Chaoge, the Han people must send reinforcements. It will take a while for the Liang Han people to arrive. The Yuwen team and Zhang Fang on the Western Front could not put pressure on Jiang Wei, so it is very possible for Jiang Wei to personally rescue Chaoge! Jiang Boyue was not on the Western Front, so how could Yuwen and Zhang Fang's army miss such an opportunity? But Jiang Wei must make proper arrangements. At this moment, the general personally led the elite troops to the battlefield and was at a chance of victory!"

Liu Yao closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Chaoge is a barrier for the Han people. Once it is taken away by our army, all parts of the Han people will be within the attack range of our army. It is very likely that Jiang Wei will come to rescue him personally. I am hiding the troops and waiting to move. Can the general be confident of putting pressure on the Chaoge defenders?"

"The general is so bold, Wang Mi admires it." Wang Mi looked at Liu Yao with a smile and bowed and praised.

"Oh? How do you say this?" Liu Yao was surprised to see Wang Mi's words with a little ridicule.

"Because the general was criticized by Zhang Bin and all officials, he was re-activated by His Majesty. I am afraid that a large number of soldiers will be damaged in Chaoge City, but the general agreed to Wang Mi's plan without any worries. How could I not admire me Wang Mi?" Wang Mi laughed.

"It is our responsibility and honor to sacrifice our lives for the country. Moreover, the general is the one who leads the army this time, not me, Liu Yao. There is no need to admire it. It only depends on whether you are willing to lead the army, General Wang." Liu Yao smiled silently, and after saying that, he had made a clear statement. The negative impact of this battle can be greatly pushed to you, Wang Mi. Do you dare to do it?

Wang Mi changed his face and said, "If you are willing to hand over the power of the Dangyin military to me, what are you afraid of even if thousands of people are pointing it!"

Liu Yao nodded and said, "The general is loyal and brave. I will report this matter to my father in the future. However, time is tight. If I cannot mobilize Jiang Wei to Chaoge within four days, I will help me fight to the death with him!"

After setting the direction, Wang Mi left after another hot conversation. The close ministers beside Liu Yao were listening. When they saw people walking away, they whispered: "Wang Mi and the guardian Liu Ju of the Dangyin, Xingye Chi Chi is afraid... Liu Ju is the beloved general of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Liu Yao shook his head and said, "The country is in crisis, and personal trivial matters are not easy to be published. If Wang Mi has the method to repel Jiang Wei, what is Liu Ju? Similarly, Liu Juruo has the strategy to defeat the enemy, what's wrong with sacrificing Wang Mi?"

The sky was getting darker and there was no impression of the officials in Yecheng who were walking back and forth. His Royal Highness gathered all the ministers to discuss matters. General Liu Yao was also preparing soldiers' money and food. Even the officials who were idle were busy and rushed back and forth.
