A deeply hidden evil wolf!
This was not the first time that Jia Yao had heard Bambu's evaluation of Yun Zheng.
Jia Yao raised her beautiful face with a strong exotic charm and smiled, "This Yun Zheng can make my master so afraid. It seems that I have to be careful when dealing with him!"
“We really have to be careful with this.”
Bambu nodded and said, "I underestimated Yun Zheng before, and that's why I suffered a great loss at his hands."
Speaking of Yun Zheng, Bambu couldn't help but feel hatred.
Although there was no evidence that Yun Zheng was involved in the damn divine punishment incident in Death Valley, he still insisted that it was Yun Zheng who was behind it.
Jia Yao nodded slightly and asked again: "Is there still no movement from Dingbei and Jing'anwei?"
"No."
Bambu shook his head and said, "Wei Wenzhong probably wants to wear us down for a while, and then take action after we have suffered enough from the wind and snow."
...
...
This is not difficult to guess.
If he were Wei Wenzhong, he would definitely do the same.
"Wei Wenzhong is quite patient."
Jia Yao smiled and said, "Unfortunately, he has no idea that our real target is Shuofang!"
Bambu nodded slightly, "Princess, this plan is really ingenious. Wei Wenzhong is just a general defending the city. He should not be able to see it! I am afraid that Yun Zheng will see through the princess's plan."
Speaking of Yun Zheng, Bambu looked worried again.
He has suffered too much at the hands of Yun Zheng.
He admitted that he was a little afraid of Yun Zheng.
He no longer had the confidence to defeat the cunning Yun Zheng.
He knew clearly that once a general lost confidence, he would make many wrong decisions on the battlefield.
That was why he repeatedly requested the Great Chanyu to let Jia Yao lead the troops.
After hearing his mentor mention Yun Zheng again and again, Jia Yao couldn't help but become curious about Yun Zheng.
She really wanted to see what Yun Zheng looked like and why her proud mentor took him so seriously.
"Master, rest assured, I will be careful when dealing with Yun Zheng."
Jia Yao smiled confidently and asked, "How is the morale of the soldiers in the camp?"
Bambu replied: "Although we also suffered heavy losses, this can still be considered a victory. The morale of the soldiers in the camp has been restored a lot."
"No!"
Jia Yao shook his head, "This can only be considered a lose-lose situation."
Da Gan suffered heavy losses, and so did they.
Victory doesn't look like this!
Bambu sighed and said ashamedly, "Our army has failed in three consecutive sneak attacks. This time, we attacked Beiyuan Shoal and we were able to gain so many gains. This is already quite good."
"Our national strength is not as good as fighting hard. We should fight as little as possible in this kind of battle where we kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of our own." Jia Yao shook his head and sighed, then said seriously: "Master, whether we win or lose this battle, I hope you will join me and persuade my father to give up the Three Border Cities!"
Bambu's face changed drastically when he heard this.
Abandon the Three Border Cities?
If we lose, it is understandable to give up the three border cities.
But after winning, do we still have to give up the three border cities?
What is she thinking!
Bambu frowned. "If we give up Sanbiancheng, what's the point of us suffering so many casualties? If we want to give up Sanbiancheng, why did we fight the battle a few days ago? Why did we kill so many war horses to replenish military rations?"
If they don't give up the three border cities, even if they launch a massive attack in the spring, they will at least have a place to defend!
If they give up the three border cities, Dagan’s army can invade their hinterland at any time!
That's not something a princess would say at all.
It doesn't fit the princess's personality!
"We must fight this battle!"
Jia Yao said: "If we don't fight this battle, our soldiers will be afraid of Da Gan in their hearts! If we don't fight this battle, my father and many people will not be willing! This battle can also be regarded as saving the face of Beihuan."
Bambu was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I still don't understand why the princess wants to give up Sanbian City. I can't understand it, and I'm not willing to accept it! I believe that the Great Chanyu will definitely not accept it either!"
If you want to give up Sanbiancheng, what were you doing before?
If we are going to give up Sanbian City, wouldn't it be better to directly use Sanbian City to exchange for food from Da Gan?
After going through so much trouble and suffering so many casualties, now you're talking about giving up the three border cities?
How can they be willing to accept this!
"I know you are unwilling to give up, so I want to fight this battle!"
Jia Yao shook his head and said, "If Da Gan also loses some soldiers and generals, everyone will be content!"
Bambu frowned and shook his head, saying, "We won, but Da Gan suffered heavy casualties. We also gave up Sanbian City. Shouldn't everyone be even more unwilling to accept this?"
Jiayao looked at Bambu disappointedly and said, "Master, you are burdened by your fame and your vision is not as good as before."
"Maybe!"
Bambu did not deny it, "But I want to know the reason why the princess gave up Sanbian City!"
Jia Yao sighed softly and asked, "What is our advantage in fighting against Da Gan?"
"Of course it's the cavalry's raid, penetration and support capabilities." Bambu answered without thinking.
After all, he is the Imperial Master of Beihuan and is well versed in military affairs.
It's embarrassing if you can't even see this.
"right!"
Jia Yao nodded slightly and asked again: "If we just defend the three border cities, how can we play to our strengths?"
"this……"
Bambu frowned slightly, and continued to argue: "If we hold on to Sanbian City, at least we have a safe place to defend! As long as Dagan can't break through the defense of Sanbian City, he will never be able to attack our hinterland!"
Sanbian City was what they had worked so hard to obtain!
Sanbian City is Beihuan’s first barrier!
The importance of Sanbian City to Beihuan is no less than that of Beilu Pass to Dagan.
If they gave up Sanbian City, wouldn't Sanbian City become a bridgehead for Da Gan to attack Beihuan?
"Why does Dagan need to invade our hinterland? He can wear us out by just wasting time!"
Jia Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Master, do you still think that our enemy is Da Gan?"
Bambu was puzzled and frowned, "If it's not Dagan, then what is it?"
"food!"
Jia Yao said bluntly: "We are short of food! As long as Da Gan deploys hundreds of thousands of troops to the front line, we don't even need to attack. We must send more people to defend the three border cities, but where will our military food come from?"
"Even if we can kill cattle, sheep, and even horses to supplement military rations, our people are used to defend the city. Who will graze and farm?"
"If we can't get rid of the food shortage, we will be completely exhausted sooner or later!"
Jiayao carefully analyzed the situation with Banbu.
How many people will be killed?
How many people are there in Beihuan?
How could Beihuan possibly be able to outlast Dagan if they have been fighting like this all the time?
"this……"
Bambu choked slightly and stopped talking immediately.
Jia Yao shook his head slightly and continued, "We occupied the three border cities before because it was necessary! But the current situation is completely different from before. Our casualties are too great! We can no longer care about the gains and losses of a city or a place!"
"Giving up the three border cities will show the enemy our weakness and make Da Gan think we are afraid!"
"After the spring, if Da Gan takes the initiative to attack, the battle line will definitely be very long. We can take advantage of our cavalry and seize their food to supplement our urgently needed food, so as to support the war with war!"
"If they take back the three border cities and stop attacking, we can rest and recuperate, and try to overcome the food shortage as soon as possible..."
