Xiao Rong pursed his lips and smiled, leaving Qu Yunmie confused.

Xiao Rong did not explain, he just continued to ask Qu Yunmie: "Why did you deliberately split up General Yuan's left army?"

Qu Yunmie looked at him, but repeated strangely: "Specially?"

Xiao Rong: “…”

Qu Yunmie asked him questions that made him lose confidence. Wasn’t it intentional?

However, Qu Yunmie also thought so. Who said he did it on purpose?

"...Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to adjust the structure of the Zhenbei Army? This is my first step. After returning to Chenliu, I will disrupt and reorganize all the Zhenbei Army. You are right. The army is too loose now, and the last adjustment was six years ago. Soldiers staying under the same general for a long time are prone to trouble."

Xiao Rong was stunned: "Then why do we have to start from the left army?"

Qu Yunmie's expression became even weirder: "Because there are the most soldiers on the left."

Although there are more troops in the central army, they are all his people, so there is no need for him to replace his own people.

Xiao Rong: “…”

He didn't know what to say for a moment. If he told his true thoughts, it would be suspected of sowing discord, but if he changed the subject, Xiao Rong couldn't do it.

There was no way to explain, so Xiao Rong simply didn't explain. He also said quickly like Qu Yunmie, "It's not appropriate. General Yuan might have a grudge if he does this. The king has the best relationship with General Yuan, but when he was selecting people, he chose him first. What's more, the left army might not feel comfortable. Why not let General Gongsun and General Wang go to support Ningzhou together, and let Yu Shaocheng go with General Yuan to attack Khitan. Giving General Yuan a deputy general is better than directly dismantling his left army."

Qu Yunmie didn't want to do this. He couldn't say why, but he just didn't want to do this.

Frowning, he said, "The left army only has 75,000 men. It is risky to fight the Khitan with this number."

Xiao Rong: "Then transfer 20,000 troops from the central army..."

Before he finished speaking, Qu Yunmie got angry first: "Why do you want to send people from my army?!"

Xiao Rong: “…………”

You also know that it’s not pleasant to do this, so why didn’t you think so when you dismantled Yuan Baifu?

I thought that the hundreds of thousands of people in the Zhenbei Army were enough, but I didn't expect that once the situation arose and the business was spread out, it was still not enough.

Why are we so anxious to attack the Khitan? As long as we don't attack them, both sides will prosper.

However, Qu Yunmie had his own ideas. He really just followed his own advice on deploying troops. Just now he wanted to consult Xiao Rong's opinion, but after listening to it, he suddenly changed his mind. He felt that his arrangement was the best.

Dismantle the left army, let Yuan Baifu and Wang Xinyong go to Ningzhou together, and let Gongsun Yuan and Yu Shaocheng go to Khitan together.

When it comes down to it, he actually didn't trust Yuan Baifu.

This did not start with the fight against the Xianbei, but started a long, long time ago, probably when the capital was just moved.

There was an extremely subtle change in Yuan Baifu's attitude. Qu Yunmie certainly couldn't see it, but he could feel it very subtly. His subconscious mind kept these changes in mind, but he didn't react. After they met again, various factors affected the relationship between the two of them. Yuan Baifu and Jian Qiao had a conflict, Yuan Baifu and Gongsun Yuan became closer, and Yuan Baifu no longer came to see him often.

Qu Yunmie just doesn't like to think too much, but the fact that he can live to this age is not entirely due to his impressive martial arts skills.

Some people know very clearly why they do something, while some people don’t know. They just react based on their intuition. Little do they know that this so-called intuition is actually the stimulation brought by the environment. These stimulations help them avoid many risks, even when they themselves are unable to react.

Qu Yunmie didn't know that Yuan Baifu didn't like Xiao Rong, but his intuition knew it. Qu Yunmie also didn't know that Yuan Baifu was suppressing his dissatisfaction with him, but his intuition knew it. When assigning tasks, Qu Yunmie's first reaction was that he could no longer send Yuan Baifu out alone. This was exactly the opposite of what he did half a year ago and in the official history.

In fact, the best solution is to let the left army deal with Shen Yangrui alone. Among the four armies, the most meticulous commander is Yuan Baifu. This style just corresponds to Nanyong's style, and the winning rate can be greatly increased.

And Wang Xinyong? He was still a general of Nanyong ten years ago. Qu Yunmie shouldn't have sent him there. Whether from the perspective of trust or morality, he shouldn't have done so, but subconsciously, he still chose it.

It's not just towards Yuan Baifu, Qu Yunmie's style is gradually changing. In the past, if he wanted to appoint someone, he would only appoint one, but now he would rather split up an army and send two capable people to check and balance each other. Wang Xinyong is not familiar with Yuan Baifu, and Gongsun Yuan is not familiar with Yu Shaocheng either. Jian Qiao has the same number of soldiers and horses as Gongsun Yuan. In fact, it is okay to send Jian Qiao, and Jian Qiao will not get lost, but in terms of personality, Jian Qiao cannot suppress Yu Shaocheng, so after weighing the two options, he chose to send Gongsun Yuan.

The thing that used to affect Qu Yunmie the most was hatred, but all of this disappeared with the demise of the Xianbei. He was no longer driven by hatred, and Xiao Rong kept telling him what kind of terrible consequences his impulsiveness would bring him. All of these were like a tight hoop, tightly wrapped around his mind. Qu Yunmie had really changed, but no one had noticed it yet.

Qu Yunmie remained silent. He also wanted to explain to Xiao Rong, but he really couldn't put the words clearly. He only knew that he was very sober. It was not because of impulse or personal feelings. He just thought that this was the best way.

Xiao Rong looked at him, saw the persistence and embarrassment in his eyes, pursed his lips, and said: "Okay, everything is up to you, my king."

Qu Yunmie was stunned: "Why don't you say anything else?"

Xiao Rong shook his head: "This is different from the king taking risks himself. Now the king is very powerful and has a much higher ability to resist risks. Maybe the king is right, maybe the king is wrong, but the price of this mistake... we can afford it."

He smiled at Qu Yunmie, who felt relieved, but also a little unhappy: "I am right."

Xiao Rong shrugged: "I hope so too."
