Bao Yuan asked curiously, "Why do you think so?"
Pang Juan said: "Our army has already laid a tight net in the camp. We are just waiting for the Qin reinforcements to come in. Then we can close the door and beat the dog.
By then, even if the enemy had an army of 200,000, it would be futile.
However, the commander of the Qin army actually gave up this opportunity to strike with all his strength, and would rather give our army time to recover than launch a rash attack.
From this steadiness, it is not difficult to see that this person is a talented and handsome man."
Bao Yuan asked, "What if the Qin army's commander is timid and doesn't understand the strength of our Jin army at all, so he wants to send a small force to test the waters?"
Pang Juan shook his head and said no more.
Bao Yuan then asked, "Should we meet the enemy?"
Pang Juan objected, "No. If we meet the enemy now, we will be hard to defeat unless we have a force several times greater than theirs.
But if we send out several times the number of troops, the enemy will certainly increase its forces. Wouldn't that give the Qin army the opportunity to annihilate our tens of thousands of troops?
"Pass the order down, hold the camp firmly. No matter how harshly the enemy's insults are, no one is allowed to meet the enemy! Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed!"
Yue Fei was indeed waiting for such an opportunity.
Since the enemy has become a coward, we can only get through today in peace.
To be honest, the sound of 30,000 people shouting and cursing was deafening. In any case, they cursed the ancestors of the Jin army to every generation.
Some even said that the Jin army's soldiers were all cowards who only dared to hide their heads in their shells. Hundreds of thousands of people could not even capture the Shuozhou City which was defended by tens of thousands of people.
In short, it is as unpleasant as it can be.
Naturally, every enemy soldier was holding a lot of resentment in his heart and had nowhere to vent it.
Once upon a time, they all thought that the Qin people were inferior people.
But the State of Jin was a superior state.
At least that's the case for the Qin State.
Now, he is being scolded by inferior people. Who would feel good about it?
But their coach just loves to be a coward.
After the quarrel was over.
Xun Yu came to Yue Fei's tent and asked bluntly, "General, why didn't you attack with your entire army today?"
Yue Fei said with a smile: "Military Advisor, instead of going to rest, you came here to me. It turns out that it is about this matter. Please take a seat first."
Xun Yu waved his hand and refused, "General Yue, let's get to the point. Why don't we just attack and destroy the enemy today?
If Marshal Yue doesn't give a reasonable explanation, then I will have no choice but to bring out the imperial edict bestowed by the Empress."
Hearing this, Yue Fei had no choice but to speak slowly and earnestly: "It is no secret to the Jin army that our army is marching to Shuozhou.
"Our army arrived here today. Military Advisor, do you think the enemy scouts wouldn't be unaware of this? If they knew, why are the Jin army still attacking the city instead of retreating to defend the camp and waiting for our attack?"
How clever was Xun Yu? He naturally thought of the key point, but for a moment, he still spoke like this:
"Perhaps the enemy wants to take advantage of the remaining time to see if they can capture Shuozhou?"
Yue Fei smiled again and said, "I'm afraid even the military advisor himself doesn't believe this reason. The enemy army knew that our army was coming, but they still chose to attack the city.
Moreover, when our troops finally arrived, the enemy seemed to have anticipated our arrival, and even their retreat was calm and methodical.
It can be seen that they had indeed anticipated this. They even thought that if our army saw their siege troops withdrawing, they would definitely charge into the battle line.
Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the enemy still does not panic at all, which shows that they have been prepared for it.
If our army charges today, I am afraid we will lose our elite troops and suffer heavy losses.
I simply chose to curse because I hope this new army, which has come from afar, will not lose morale by not launching a general attack on the enemy."
He had already anticipated that the Jin army would not respond to the Qin army's insults.
This will greatly boost their own morale and make them think that the Jin army is no more capable than them.
It will strengthen the soldiers' belief in winning the battle.
Of course, how to turn this somewhat arrogant morale into the courage to kill the enemy depends on Yue Fei's methods.
All in all, this psychological game between the enemy and our commanders ended with Yue Fei having a slight advantage.
After a pause, he continued, "Military Advisor, do you think this war can be ended in a day or two? The enemy still has over 100,000 troops. Even if it's just over 100,000 pigs, it will take several days to kill them.
The more critical the moment, the more we must remain calm. We are a new army, not a battle-hardened one. We don't have many opportunities. For us, just one wrong step can lead to a huge abyss, so we must proceed with caution."
After hearing this, Xun Yu finally understood.
Today, if the army they lead is a battle-hardened army with a high tolerance for error, then they can choose to charge. When encountering an ambush, the battle-hardened soldiers will be able to organize a defense to meet the enemy in the first place, so that the casualties will not be too heavy.
But what about the new army?
Once they win, they become extremely arrogant and look down on others.
Once we lose, all morale is gone.
With the tolerance rate being extremely low, Yue Fei had no choice but to play it safe.
