Chapter 337 Self-Strategy
"You are right. However, for today's matter, I will have to trouble you to negotiate with Liu Renyi and stabilize them first. Only when the soldiers recover, will they be able to fight."
Yuan Hu had difficulty standing up by himself, so he naturally knew that the physical condition of ordinary soldiers who were not as fit as him was even worse.
This battle has to be fought.
But not today.
"This......"
When the envoys heard what Yuan Huyi meant, they looked at each other in confusion.
These days, they have to go to the opposite military camp every day, but after talking about it, they always come to the point that they are being plotted against by the opposite side using poisonous smoke, so why are they still allowed to go?
"My Lords, they were the ones who broke their promise first. We don't want their city, we just want some compensation. You just need to tell them that our news has been delivered to the Qingluo court, and they won't dare to act rashly."
The negotiation has to be done by the envoys. If he goes in person, I'm afraid they will start fighting if they disagree.
"Can......"
The envoys looked at each other. They were still lying on the stretchers. How could they go?
They wouldn't be forced to carry them there, would they?
Although it is said that when two countries are at war, envoys will not be killed, but now that the other party has taken action against them, how can we guarantee that they can return safely from wherever they go?
"Don't worry, my lords. I will send a team of strong soldiers to accompany you."
As soon as Yuan Hu saw the concerns of the envoys, he quickly expressed his position.
Normally, Liu Renyi would have used poisonous smoke on them last night, and would have sent troops to attack them early this morning.
But it's already this late and there's still no movement over there. I don't know what Liu Renyi is up to.
"General Yuan, it's not that we don't want to go. We are just in this state, so how can we have the energy to deal with him?"
"Yeah, they've resorted to such despicable means, why would they say anything more to us?"
"General Yuan, in my opinion, it is better to let the military doctors detoxify the soldiers as soon as possible. They can recover as soon as possible so that they can compete with them as soon as possible."
None of the envoys had any plans to meet Liu Renyi again.
That man was too difficult to deal with. In all their years as envoys, they had never met anyone as shameless as him.
It's simply a matter of seconds.
"My Lords, it is almost noon now and there is no movement on the other side. I think there may be something else behind what happened last night."
When Yuan Hu saw that several envoys were making excuses, he expressed his doubts.
But his doubt was not very sustainable.
There are no other countries upstream, so who else could have fired poisonous smoke at them if not Liu Renyi?
"General Yuan, if there was something hidden, why would they wait until this hour and not send anyone to explain it? Maybe they are discussing how to attack us."
One of the envoys became impatient.
It is true that they came here to ask for money, but after nearly a month of wandering around here, they only had a batch of food and fodder to last them ten days.
They wanted money, but there was no guarantee of it.
If that's the case, why should they go and die?
"Why don't you discuss this here, my lords? I will go out and see the situation before making a decision."
When Yuan Hu saw that he could not convince these envoys, he decided to go to the observation deck to see what was happening on the other side.
Although the terrain here is not good and I can't see much, it still makes me feel more at ease after taking a look.
He also felt very aggrieved.
When it is possible to use force, envoys must be used.
It was obvious that we couldn't use force today, but the envoy refused to cooperate with him.
It made him really depressed and helpless.
"Hey, Master Yuan, this is not the right thing to do."
Seeing Yuan Hu leave, several envoys became a little anxious.
What does this mean? Putting them together will help you figure it out?
The envoys from Yansha Kingdom were right. Liu Renyi was indeed discussing how to attack them.
But after discussing for a while, there was no consensus.
The Liu family army has been stationed in Xicheng for several generations, and has not had a direct conflict with the Yansha Kingdom in the past ten years.
In terms of combat power, they are actually not very strong.
There are only 50,000 soldiers, and today there are still about 10,000 people affected by the toxic smoke.
If there are less than 40,000 people left to fight, they may not be a match for Yuan Huyi.
The key is that they have been living in peace for too long and don't want to fight, let alone lose their lives.
Liu Renyi felt a greater headache than anyone else when he saw his men quarreling with each other.
In this way, they argued until dark, but still did not come to a conclusion.
"Master, why is Liu Renyi so frightened?"
Little Gourd looked at Liu Renyi's military tent in the video with a look of disdain.
A general guarding the border, without any courage at all.
When I first collected those "white flowers" from Yansha Kingdom, I did not hesitate at all.
"It's normal for middle-aged people to be less courageous than young people."
Chu Qinshu stared at the roster and casually continued Xiao Hulu's words.
Her and her father's recent actions have brought up a new name.
If her guess was correct, it should be the general that Emperor Qingluo transferred from the nearest border town to Xicheng.
"If Liu Renyi still doesn't send out troops, should we do something to help him?"
Little Gourd has been keeping an eye on Yuan Huyi and Liu Renyi today.
One side wants to delay, while the other side doesn't want to fight, and they have a tacit understanding of each other.
"We don't need to do anything. In a few days, Liu Renyi will be beaten whether he wants to or not."
Chu Qinshu was not in a hurry, but she didn't know whether Liu Renyi would regret his decision today in a few days?
Yuan Huyi failed to convince the envoy, but Liu Renyi was convinced by his deputy general.
They decided not to fight Yuan Huyi, but just wait and see.
When the envoys from Yansha asked them for food and fodder, they had said that they did not have much food with them.
If that’s the case, why fight?
Anyway, now that the toxic cigarette incident has happened, Yuan Huyi will no longer appreciate his previous kindness.
How long can they stay on the boat without food and straw as long as they are prevented from going ashore?
After the food and fodder are used up and they are starved for a few days, he will take action again and perhaps accomplish something great.
After all, he captured eighty warships without spending a single soldier, so it was his credit no matter how you look at it.
By then, even if the news reported by Yansha's envoy reached the court, he would not be afraid.
His private transaction with Guo Mu was not signed in any written document. If he did not acknowledge it, the imperial court would not force the credit on him as a meritorious official.
Liu Renyi was not only brainwashed by his subordinates, but also had a strong ability to attack himself.
After discussing for a day, he actually waited calmly.
Yuan Hu watched the military doctors detoxify the soldiers while keeping an eye on Liu Renyi's movements.
After three days of peace and stability, his soldiers returned to their original state.
At the end of midnight that night, when people were most likely to let their guard down, he sent an advance team of 10,000 people to the shore in small boats.
Although the terrain of the dock was not as high as the garrison, and Yuan Hu could not find out the situation inside the garrison, he could still see something from the patrols outside the garrison.
As a seasoned naval commander, he had already reached the enemy's position and could still find a way to get ashore.
Especially when the opponent is Liu Renyi, a self-righteous person.
