"General, what are we waiting for? This Qin army must be stupid. They actually opened the city gates!"
"Yes, General, isn't this clearly asking us to charge in? If we don't go, won't this opportunity be wasted in vain?"
"Is the person sitting on top of the city wall really the Great Qin Emperor? Many years ago, the people of our Chu State said that the Great Qin Emperor was a tyrant.
Ever since Her Royal Highness the Princess married, they've been saying that the Emperor of Qin was a wise ruler. But after seeing him today, I think he's nothing more than a tyrant, vulnerable to attack. Let me capture him alive!"
“…”
The restlessness of many Chu army soldiers did not interfere with Yang Youji's thinking.
After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the siege.
If he lost his soldiers and generals because of underestimating the enemy, then his military career would be over.
"The one sitting on top of the city wall is undoubtedly the Great Qin Emperor.
Why don't you think about it? He is the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Why would he allow the gate of Hangu Pass to be opened, and there is not a single guard on the top of the city wall?
Where did they go? Do you think the Emperor of Qin was seeking death? Do you think he would not hesitate to mobilize the entire nation's troops to fight against our army?
Just looking for death? Even if he is stupid, he can't be so stupid! "
As soon as the words fell.
Then one of the soldiers said, "General, do you think there's an ambush in the city? If you're afraid of that, then I'll lead an army in and charge in first to test the waters!"
Hearing this, Yang Youji shook his head and said, "This plan is inappropriate. If the Qin army really has an ambush, the moment you all enter the city gate, I'm afraid you will be slaughtered crazily by the Qin army.
During this chaotic battle, the enemy might well close the city gates or trap you. By then, the army you lead would only suffer casualties."
He has his own concerns.
Although sending a small force can indeed help to find out the truth.
But what’s the difference between that and seeking death?
If we lose soldiers and generals as a result, won't we be the ones to bear the responsibility in the end?
Now, I am already in my sixties.
If we lose this battle, how will it be recorded in history books in the future?
This lifelong reputation cannot be ruined by this battle!
What a general seeks is nothing more than fame, fortune and power, and besides that, he also wants to leave his name in history.
How embarrassing would it be if people in the future talked about me and mentioned that I was old and foolish?
Be careful!
There was obviously an ambush inside Hangu Pass, otherwise the Qin Emperor would be seeking death, but is this possible?
It's impossible!
If he knew that there was an ambush, and it was such a deliberate ambush, but still sent people to die, then if this was recorded in history books, people would say that Yang Youji was a man of courage but no strategy, and was not fit for important tasks.
A lifetime of reputation was ruined in an instant.
Not advisable.
