Chapter 315: No casualties were suffered, but the morale of the army was lost!



Wei Wenzhong's arrival was within Yun Zheng's expectations.

However, Yun Zheng had no intention of meeting Wei Wenzhong, and instead asked whether Qin Qihu was also there.

Upon learning that Qin Qihu had also come along, Yun Zheng immediately ordered the soldier who brought the news: "Please invite Qin Qihu to my house for a chat!"

Xiao Wanchou frowned slightly, "Your Highness, don't you want to see Wei Wenzhong?"

"not see!"

Yun Zheng said angrily: "I'm afraid of seeing Wei Wenzhong, so I want to chop him up with a knife!"

Looking at Yun Zheng's angry look, Xiao Wanchou couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Xiao Wanchou advised, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so angry. Wei Wenzhong is a cautious person. He made such a decision out of helplessness! I think that even if Wei Wenzhong really wanted to harm Your Highness, he would not dare to do it so blatantly..."

"Anyway, I think Wei Wenzhong is not a good guy!" Yun Zheng said stubbornly: "Please ask Duke Yu to help deal with Wei Wenzhong, I will not go to the camp."

Xiao Wanchou had no choice but to agree.

...

...

The generals and commanders are not in harmony!

This is really a headache!

Soon, Xiao Wanchou arrived at the camp.

"I've met Lord Yu Guo!"

Everyone stood up and saluted, including Wei Wenzhong.

"No need to be so polite, everyone."

Xiao Wanchou waved his hand and said to Qin Qihu, "His Highness has been too worried these days and has caught a cold. His Highness is recuperating at home. You should go see him!"

"good!"

Qin Qihu left immediately, regardless of whether Wei Wenzhong agreed or not.

"You have come from afar, please take a rest first! I will have someone send some food over later." Xiao Wanchou laughed and said, "General Wei, General Dugu, let's go for a walk outside!"

The two knew that Xiao Wanchou wanted to talk to them alone, so they stood up immediately.

Soon, the three of them came outside.

Although it was sunny outside, it was still chilly.

Xiao Wanchou led the two to a secluded place in the camp, "You should all know the result of this battle, right?"

The two nodded repeatedly.

Dugu Ce was even more impressed and said: "Duke Yuguo has come up with many ingenious ideas. We admire him!"

"No, this is not my credit."

Xiao Wanchou waved his hand and said, "All these plans were made by an expert beside His Highness. I am just a messenger."

"What?"

Dugu Ce was shocked, "Is there really a master beside His Highness?"

"Um!"

Xiao Wanchou nodded: "To be honest with you two, I just met that master. His intelligence and broad-mindedness really put me to shame."

After listening to Xiao Wanchou's words, the two of them looked at each other.

There had been rumors before that there were masters in the Shuofang army, and they were a little skeptical.

I didn’t expect that there really are such experts!

"I really want to meet this master!"

Wei Wenzhong said sincerely: "This man is extremely intelligent. If we can ask him to give us advice, we will surely be able to defeat Beihuan!"

"Don't even think about it."

Xiao Wanchou shook his head and sighed, "I have already invited you once before, but this master has no interest in power, and does not want to get involved in court disputes. He will not even see you!"

"this……"

Wei Wenzhong paused for a moment and said regretfully, "That's such a pity."

Any regrets?

Xiao Wanchou stopped and looked back at Wei Wenzhong, "General Wei, you are the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army and in charge of all its affairs. I have no right to dictate your decisions, but there is something I have to say, and I have to say it out loud!"

Wei Wenzhong had a bad feeling and hurriedly said respectfully, "Duke Yu, please speak."

Xiao Wanchou said calmly: "Considering the overall situation is a good thing! Being cautious is also a good thing! But being too cautious will lead to timidity! If you defend for a long time, you will lose; if you attack for a long time, you will get tired! As a commander, you must be able to defend as well as attack!"

Listening to Xiao Wanchou's words, Wei Wenzhong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Does Duke Yuguo also think that he is afraid of fighting?

In this battle, he led an army of 70,000 but was timid.

Yun Zheng's troops, totaling no more than 20,000 soldiers, were able to anticipate the enemy and come up with many ingenious strategies.

Not only did they successfully force back the Beihuan army, but they also launched a surprise attack on the Beihuan army again in the Riftwind Canyon in a way that no one expected, creating another myth!

In comparison, Wei Wenzhong is really nothing!

From now on, I am afraid I will be branded as a coward.

With just one battle, the prestige he had accumulated in the Northern Army over the years was completely wiped out.

"Thank you, Duke Yu, for your guidance. Wen Zhong has learned a lot!"

Wei Wenzhong bowed and saluted.

“It’s not really about giving advice.”

Xiao Wanchou shook his head and said, "You are very steady and did not cause the Northern Army to suffer a great loss. Logically speaking, you should still have made contributions in this battle! But as a commander, if you cannot convince the people, your position will be unstable sooner or later..."

Even without asking, Xiao Wanchou knew that there must be many people within the Northern Army who were dissatisfied with Wei Wenzhong.

To be honest, Wei Wenzhong's caution is beneficial.

At least, he did not cause the Northern Army to suffer too much loss.

But the problem is that military morale cannot be maintained without causing your troops to suffer too great losses.

Can't it be said that fleeing in the face of a battle is to prevent one's troops from suffering too great losses?

We should be like Yun Zheng, defeating the majority with the minority, defeating the strong with the weak, and using small losses to inflict huge losses on the enemy!

This is the best way to rally the troops!

To put it bluntly, as long as Yun Zheng does not agree, Wei Wenzhong will definitely not be able to mobilize a single soldier from Shuofang!

In the eyes of the Shuofang Army, Wei Wenzhong is a coward!

Moreover, he is a treacherous villain who is determined to kill Yun Zheng!

In this battle, Wei Wenzhong did not lose any soldiers or generals, but he lost the morale of his troops!

Listening to Xiao Wanchou's words, Wei Wenzhong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "For this battle, no matter how much I explain, it's meaningless. I can only say that I have a clear conscience! If His Majesty wants to choose another capable person to lead the Northern Army, I have no objection."

"Don't worry about this. Even if His Majesty wants to change the general, he won't do it at this time."

Xiao Wanchou first gave Wei Wenzhong a reassurance, and then said meaningfully: "Wenzhong, I believe you have no intention of murdering the Sixth Prince. I have told the Sixth Prince about this matter in person more than once! I hope I am not wrong, and I hope you don't do anything stupid!"

Hearing Xiao Wanchou's words, Wei Wenzhong's heart suddenly trembled.

Although Xiao Wanchou said that he believed him, the warning beyond the words was particularly obvious.

He hoped that he was not mistaken, that is, even he suspected that he had the intention to murder Yun Zheng!

But this time, I really had no intention of murdering Yun Zheng!

"Thank you, Duke Yu, for your trust!"

Wei Wenzhong said with gritted teeth.

Xiao Wanchou waved his hand and looked at Dugu Ce again, "General Dugu, the Sixth Prince and General Wei are now at odds with each other. It will be difficult for them to reconcile in a short time. I need you to mediate between them!"

"Also, if there is another crisis in Shuobei, you can rush to Shuofang to ask the Sixth Prince for advice!"

"Although the Sixth Prince is dissatisfied with Wen Zhong, I believe that he will still put the overall situation first when it comes to the safety of Shuobei."

Dugu Ce heard this and nodded slightly...
