Chapter 540 (1/2)
All the generals heard Xiao Yuesheng narrate the history of Nanman Kingdom on one side. They were fascinated by it. It was a glorious history of war! Whether it was the heroic Nanman kingdom or the powerful four countries united army, these generals who wanted to make a name in the history were full of emotion. They hoped that they could not live in the same era with those heroes.
Li Yuanhe breathed a deep breath. Obviously, he was also infected by Xiao Yuesheng's story. But soon, Li Yuanhe gave a smile and said, ”General Xiao, the story of the Danube city is really exciting, but you haven't answered my question. How about the defense of Danube city?”
Xiao Yuesheng's heart thumped. Listening to Li Yuanhe's words, it seems that he is not just curious about Danube city as he just said? Do you really decide to march towards Danube? However, Li Yuanhe didn't let go, and Xiao Yuesheng was not easy to dissuade him. At present, he had to reply: ”it will also be many years ago that he has not returned to the southern border, but according to the intelligence that he will be stationed here at the end of many years ago. The Danube city has changed hands several times, so the situation in the city is more complicated. The Dachang state has less control over Danube city than before. The garrison in Danube city is only about 200 men. Dachang has basically adopted a laissez faire approach to Danube city. ”
”But,” said Xiao Yuesheng, suddenly realizing that he had made this Danube city too simple. Didn't it make Li Yuanhe more and more determined to march into Danube city? He said, ”although there are not many defenders in Danube City, the power of the southern barbarians in the city is quite large. They regard Danube city as the holy land of the southern barbarians. Therefore, to attack Danube City, we should not only deal with the defenders, but also be prepared to deal with the private forces of the southern barbarians!”
”Mm-hmm!” Li Yuanhe just nodded. Even though he was lost in thought, none of the generals spoke. They all looked at Li Yuanhe, waiting for him to make a decision. After a long time, Li Yuanhe raised his head and said, ”in that case, I decide! After three hours of rest, the whole army will march towards the western city of Danube
”What!” Xiao Yuesheng immediately felt like a bolt from the blue, silly eyes, did not think of the last thing he wanted to happen or happened. Xiao Yuesheng didn't care about anything immediately. He walked forward quickly and said to Li Yuanhe, ”general! No! If we choose to go to Danube City, there will be only one way to die for our more than 2000 vanguard soldiers! ”
Li Yuanhe didn't care much about Xiao Yuesheng's impoliteness. He laughed, stood up and said to Xiao Yuesheng, ”General Xiao! Don't worry, I know that if you choose to march towards Danube City, there are some risks, but in my opinion, it is not without a chance of life! As the saying goes, ”seeking wealth in danger” means that we can achieve this amazing feat only by taking certain risks. ”
However, Xiao Yuesheng shook his head like a rattle drum. He didn't agree with Li Yuanhe's idea. He reached out and grabbed Li Yuanhe's arm in a hurry. He was afraid that Li Yuanhe would lead the army. Li Yuanhe laughed bitterly. It seems that only by persuading the stubborn veteran general can he set out with the vanguard army.
Immediately, Li Yuanhe directly helped Xiao Yuesheng to his own position and sat down. He said with a smile, ”General Xiao, don't worry! Let me explain! Looking at these three cities, Zhangcheng is the most direct city. At the beginning, Luo Da general's army also advanced to this city! But at this time, it was different from general Luo's march! First of all, as I have said before, when general Luo marched into Dachang, the other side was ready. At that time, not only Zhangcheng City, but also Xiangnan city and Danube city were ready for battle. No matter which city general Luo chose, Dachang army would resist crazily, so general Luo had to choose Zhangcheng city! ”
Li Yuanhe's first reason was that many generals nodded in succession. Although they did not necessarily know the history of Nanman Kingdom, they were very clear about the war between Qin State and Dachang state more than ten years ago. However, Xiao Yuesheng's face was only a little slower, but there was no intention of relaxing his mouth. Obviously, this reason was not enough to convince him. Li Yuanhe continued: ”secondly, because the road to Danube city is hard, even we would not believe that an army with less than 3000 people would dare to take this road, which would be even more unexpected for the Dachang military! In this way, we can attack a surprise attack! Although according to what you said, there are many southern barbarians in Danube City, but they are not regular army after all. As long as our army suddenly appears outside Danube City, I believe it will be easy to conquer Danube city! ”
Li Yuanhe's second reason has convinced the other officers, and only Xiao Yuesheng, although somewhat excited, has not made up his mind. Seeing Xiao Yuesheng's hesitant expression, Li Yuanhe decided to take another strong medicine. Li Yuanhe said with a smile: ”there is one more point, that is, what General Xiao said about our retreat! In my opinion, this is not a problem at all
