Chapter 506: Attacking Zhu Wen
Emperor Li Shimin of Yan discussed with a group of civil and military ministers for a long time and finally finalized the next plan.
Taking advantage of the fact that Ying Yuan had just arrived and was not yet firmly established, they attacked the Qin army camp.
If this attack is successful, the morale of the Yan army will be restored.
It will even give hope to some people in the country.
Only with hope can we win.
At this time, Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji and others and said:
"Tomorrow at 11:00 AM, you will lead an army of 300,000 and launch a night attack on the Qin army camp."
"Remember, if you find something is wrong, retreat immediately."
"We, Great Yan, can no longer afford the consequences of losing our troops and generals."
It was just a sneak attack.
It would require the mobilization of three hundred thousand troops.
It can be seen that in a battle involving millions of people.
The so-called human lives have become cold numbers.
After Li Shimin finished speaking, Hou Junji and others received orders one after another.
It can be said without a doubt that this battle is related to the future success or failure of the Yan army.
The reason why troops are sent out at the hour of Mao is because it takes a certain amount of time to deploy troops and generals.
After the troops are deployed, the specific attack plan must be discussed.
The sun rises at the hour of Mao, and most of the Qin army soldiers have not yet woken up.
Suitable for attack.
-----------------
After Ying Yuan and Dong Zhuo joined forces.
All the Qin soldiers felt as if they had won a victory.
Immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
Not only were cattle and pigs slaughtered in the camp, but there was also wine and water.
This was specially authorized by Ying Yuan.
The soldiers are all passionate men who have been away at war for many years and cannot be affectionate with their wives.
If we can't even have a drink on this happy day, it would be a bit inhumane.
However, it is worth mentioning.
Fighting on the Yan State's homeland, even Li Shimin was worried about food and fodder.
But on Ying Yuan's side, there was endless wine and meat.
All this is thanks to the construction of the Ministry of Revenue by Heshen and Zhuge Liang.
If the Ministry of Revenue has money and grain, then the Qin Dynasty has money and grain.
Secondly, it is God's blessing that over the years, Daqin has enjoyed good weather and no major natural or man-made disasters.
It can be said to be a great governance.
now.
In the big tent.
Ying Yuan's gaze passed over Dong Zhuo and his men, finally landing on Zhuge Liang, and he praised him generously:
"Many important cities in the north have been plundered by foreign tribes. Yet, even in this situation, you were able to ensure that our soldiers and civilians would not starve."
"With the Ministry of Revenue under your and Heshen's control, I can rest easy."
Whether it is marching and fighting, or pacifying the people, money and food are indispensable.
It can be said that if the battle to destroy Yan was ultimately victorious, half of the credit would go to the Ministry of Revenue.
Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others had no complaints.
The reason why Ying Yuan praised Zhuge Liang in that way was not because he had changed his temperament and no longer wanted to destroy the country.
Instead, he felt that it was precisely because of the existence of such a powerful Ministry of Revenue that the lives of the lower-class people in the Qin Dynasty could be better.
Ying Yuan praised Zhuge Liang from the perspective of the people.
The latter bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, your words are too kind. I have only done my duty."
Ying Yuan waved his hand and began to listen to Dong Zhuo's report on the current war.
Afterwards, Ying Yuan said to everyone, "Tell me, how should we fight this battle?"
First, Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, Zhao Kuangyin and others said:
"Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, and other Yan vassal forces were not on the same page with Emperor Li Shimin..."
"If we can divide them up, perhaps it will save our army a lot of trouble."
"My suggestion is to attack Li Shimin first. If we can defeat him a few more times, Zhu Wen and the others will probably lose their morale."
"I suspect that Emperor Li Shimin of Yan urgently needs a victory to stabilize his army. Our army can take this opportunity to lure the enemy deeper into our territory."
“…”
They sound very logical.
Even Ying Yuan couldn't help but nod in praise.
He is indeed a famous general in the history of the previous life!
If we follow their method, we will probably win this battle!
Therefore, Ying Yuan had evil thoughts again.
"Luring the enemy deep into our territory is a good strategy, but I believe it is not the best one."
"As for attacking Li Shimin first, I think it is only a bad strategy."
"I have decided to attack Zhu Wen immediately. There must be no mistakes!"
Immediate attack?
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers were dumbfounded.
After all, Qin's biggest enemy was Emperor Yan Li Shimin.
It’s not those vassal forces of Yan State.
Why is Your Majesty targeting them?
But the Qin Emperor said so.
Who dares to disobey?
"Your Majesty, I will now gather part of the army and attack Zhu Wen."
Dong Zhuo clasped his fists and accepted the order.
"part?"
Ying Yuan spoke subconsciously.
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then said:
"Your Majesty's army has come a long way and hasn't rested yet. If we rashly join the battle, I'm worried that unnecessary losses will result."
"Furthermore, I am concerned that if too many troops are used to attack Zhu Wen, it is very likely that Li Shimin will call up his army in time to assist Zhu Wen."
"By then, I'm afraid our army will be put in a passive position."
"If the attacking force is too small, even if Li Shimin sends reinforcements, our army will be able to retreat in time."
Could you fall into a passive situation?
Hearing this, Ying Yuan said without hesitation:
