"Gentlemen, let's discuss this matter after the war."

Everyone understood what he meant. This meant that the prince liked everyone's flattery today very much, and he wanted to hear another round after today's flattery was over, and it had to be a new round, and there was no need to repeat what had been said before.

"Since it's advantageous, then increase the intensity of the attack!"

Chen Yu finally made up his mind, holding his sword with both hands and said:

"It's rare that the people of Qinghe are willing to fight a tough battle today. Since they want to die, then I will grant their wish. Come, order Jiang Yuan to lead the armored infantry into battle. We must defeat the main force of Qinghe in one battle!"

He paused, as if he was undecided. But after taking a deep breath, Chen Yu turned around and ordered, "Han Qinhu, you lead the Qinhu soldiers and follow behind the armored infantry. If the situation is favorable, you will follow and expand the victory. If this is a conspiracy by the Qinghe people, then you will bring back the regular troops to support them."

Han Qinhu knelt on one knee upon hearing this and answered loudly: "I obey your command."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although they didn't have to worry about the death, what the prince said was too obvious. If today's situation was also a conspiracy of the Qinghe people, then Han Qinhu only needed to bring back the regular soldiers, and the tens of thousands of stick-wielding men would have been abandoned.

"As for the cavalry..."

Chen Yu was about to give an order when Wei Chun, who was mingling in the middle of the team, stepped out, knelt, and shouted, "Your Highness!"

"Oh, Master Wei has something to say?"

Chen Yu was very surprised. Although Wei Chun was the deputy of the staff department, he had always been suppressed by Zhou Shangwen and usually did not speak in such public occasions. But today he actually took the initiative to stand up and interrupted Chen Yu. It seemed that he really had something to say.

"Your Highness, I believe the cavalry should not move any further."

"Your Highness, I think what Lord Wei said is absurd."

As soon as Wei Chun finished speaking, Zhou Shangwen jumped out as if his butt was on fire. His movements were so agile that even Qinghe's powerful crossbows could not hit him. He did not look like an old man with a white beard at all.

Without waiting for Chen Yu to speak, Zhou Shangwen said angrily, "Your Highness! Our army has been wasting time here for a long time and has suffered heavy losses. We have no more food to collect in the rear, and the situation is even in danger of deterioration! Your Highness is the lord of Dachen, so you naturally have a clear view of the entire world and your vision is not limited to this place. Now that our army has the upper hand, we should naturally do as Your Highness said, rely on numbers to win, send out all our forces, and win in one blow! If we let that guy Lin Hai escape today, there is no telling how long this battle will last.

"Now the front line is full of infantry. If Lin Hairuo is determined to escape, who can catch him? Is it possible to let Lord Wei go on horseback alone to stop him?"

Zhou Shangwen spoke generously, and the civil officials nodded continuously.

As an important official of the court, his vision is naturally broader than that of an ordinary soldier. Military generals only focus on the battle at hand, while civil officials will think more. Zhou Shangwen is now establishing himself as a person who thinks in the long term.

"Your Highness!"

Wei Chun also shouted.

Chen Yu, who had been trying to speak twice, became curious. What had happened to his seemingly harmonious staff today? Why were they so hostile to each other? Could it be that his potential as a wise ruler had been unleashed, and that was why they were vying to offer advice? That was a good thing.

"Your Highness! I believe there are more important things than capturing and killing Lin Hai!"

"Oh? What's that?"

Chen Yu finally got a chance to speak.

"That is the safety of His Highness!"

At this point, Wei Chuan's hair and beard stood on end, as if he was going to defend something extremely precious.

"Your Highness, if you send out all your troops, with your strategic planning and the bravery of your generals, this battle will be a great victory.

But no matter what, our army only defeated the left wing of the Qinghe people. Until now, Qinghe still has a lot of troops in other positions, and Qinghe’s cavalry has completely disappeared.

If we deploy all our forces, even the tiger-catching soldiers responsible for His Highness's personal safety, and the Qinghe cavalry attacks at this time, even though we are determined to defend His Highness with our lives, it will be difficult to protect His Highness!

If we don't send out the cavalry, Lin Hai will just run away. As long as His Highness is still here, there will be no time for us to win a victory like this. Even if it's difficult to collect food from the rear, it's not impossible to collect it. It just means that local officials will have to work harder, tap their potential, and make the people suffer.

Your Highness is the foundation of the world and the foundation of our Great Chen Dynasty. If something happens to Your Highness, what use will this great victory and this food be to us!

If Your Highness is worried, you can ask General Han whether it is a good idea to withdraw the cavalry at this time!"

There was complete silence.

The most embarrassing situation occurred.

Although victory is not guaranteed no matter how many troops are deployed, after all, the front only said that they have the advantage.

Although the prince was not without any guards after the cavalry was transferred away, there were still troops left behind in the camp.

But Wei Yan's words directly put the prince's safety on the scales. Now who can come up with a reason to tell the prince that your life safety is not as important as this?

After all, even if you lose, you can fight again, but if the prince holds a grudge against you because of this incident, you will have no chance of turning things around in this life, and it would be a luxury to even have a good death.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s mind, well, is no bigger than the tip of a needle.

We are all close ministers and understand these principles.

Especially now that the prince said nothing after listening to Wei Chun's words, people became even more uncertain.

"Your Highness."

The first person to break the silence was Han Qinhu, who had just received the order and wanted to leave, but ended up not being able to leave and was forced to be drawn into the vortex.

"I believe that although Lin Hai usurped the throne, he still possesses some ability. It is already difficult to defeat him and severely injure him. Lin Hai's main force is still there. If we insist on capturing and killing Lin Hai on the front line, I am afraid it will be difficult to do so.

For people like Lin Hai, the foundation of his livelihood lies in his army. As long as he loses his army, he will be like a stray dog ​​wherever he goes, unable to cause any trouble.

Moreover, the people of Qinghe were good at earthwork, and their positions were dug with thousands of gullies and ravines, which made them unsuitable for cavalry combat.

Therefore, I think it is better for the cavalry to stay. Besides, in war, you always have to leave reserves. This is also common sense in the military."

Han Qinhu didn't say a single word that leaving the cavalry behind was for the prince's safety, but he insisted on leaving the cavalry behind. Everyone was puzzled at first. Could it be that the prince's safety was not as important as the result of your military analysis?

But a flash of inspiration came to everyone present, and they suddenly realized: Han Qinhu is really powerful.

Yes, after he said that, not mobilizing the cavalry was not because the prince was afraid of death, but because it was necessary for the battle. By saying this, he not only took care of the prince's face, but also took care of his safety.

It can be seen that General Han, who looks big and strong, is surprisingly meticulous. We usually underestimate him.

"Alright then, let's do as General Han said. The cavalry will stay, and the others will go out and pass on the message!"

Chen Yu finally made up his mind.
