Chapter 350 General Talent! (Update 1)
Ye Yunfeng asked tentatively: "So, sister, have you already found a way to deal with it?"
Ye Chutang shook his head: "No."
Ye Yunfeng was anxious: "Then——"
"But I know someone who has."
Ye Yunfeng was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Who is it? As long as he is willing to come forward and prove my sister's innocence, we will invite him no matter what!"
Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly: "Don't worry, she will come on her own initiative."
Ye Yunfeng was full of curiosity and scratched his head, but since his sister didn't say anything, he could only give up and wait obediently.
"Well, then I hope it will be quick!"
Ye Chutang didn't seem to take the matter to heart, and turned to talk about him and Feng Zhang.
"Go and ask the Lord Siye, what did he say?"
Ye Yunfeng suddenly became embarrassed, blinked, and said casually: "Of course I will tell you everything I know--"
Ye Chutang looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "It's good enough that you didn't break any arms or legs, but you're still telling me everything you know?"
Ye Yunfeng: “…”
I know I can’t hide anything from my sister!
He scratched his head and said, "Master Siye really didn't have time to beat me."
He was able to escape the disaster only because Qiao Zimo arrived quickly enough.
"But..." Ye Yunfeng looked a little disappointed, "He didn't reveal anything. No matter how I asked or provoked him, he refused to mention anything about what happened back then."
If possible, he still hoped that Feng Zhang could tell him everything about the battle of Tongtian Pass.
The results of your own speculation are, after all, just speculations.
Ye Chutang half leaned back in his chair, not surprised by the result: "It's a secret, he naturally wouldn't tell a young boy like you. If he didn't like you so much, you would have been carried out of the Imperial College today."
Although Feng Zhang has retired to the front line for several years, how many people who can fight on the battlefield would be merciful?
Fortunately, this kid Afeng is not afraid of death, so it is most appropriate to let him fight in the front line.
If Ye Yunfeng knew what his elder sister was thinking at this moment, he would probably want to cry, but at this moment he was still immersed in the conversation with Feng Zhang.
After a moment's silence, Ye Yunfeng lowered his voice and said, "Sister, I suspect that General Huo's ending was caused by someone."
Ye Chutang raised his eyes: "Oh?"
"Although Lord Siye didn't say anything, because of this, he has actually given the answer." Ye Yunfeng's expression became serious. "I asked him whether he had delayed the time to send troops to support, and he was very angry."
Ye Chutang secretly said, "Good boy!" He had thought that he would ask, but he had never expected that he would ask in such a way.
Isn't this equivalent to asking Feng Zhang to admit that he was wrong?
Delaying military intelligence is a serious crime!
But she didn't show it on her face: "Do you think that he and Huo Yuben had originally agreed to fight the enemy together, but Feng Zhang was late, which led to the disastrous defeat at Tongtian Pass?"
"Yes." Ye Yunfeng nodded frankly without any hesitation, "The enemy army has only 30,000 troops, not even half of the troops led by General Huo. If it weren't for the dangerous terrain of Tongtian Pass, they would never have won so easily! If Lord Siye led 20,000 reinforcements to encircle them from the outside in time, they would definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!"
Ye Chutang listened quietly, and suddenly asked: "Do you think that if 100,000 fight 30,000, the chance of winning will be greatly improved?"
"That's not the case." Ye Yunfeng shook his head. "On the battlefield, it is not uncommon for the few to defeat the many. Numbers are not the only decisive factor. Moreover, the terrain of Tongtian Pass is complicated. The enemy is more familiar with it than our soldiers. Naturally, they can make a big fuss and win by trickery."
He stretched out his hand and gestured: "Tongtian Pass is like a narrow-mouthed gourd. If they can detect the ambush in time, it will be fine. But once they go deep into it, the army will not be able to turn back and will be trapped in the gourd and beaten."
In such a situation, it is simply a dream to escape.
A hint of smile and appreciation appeared in Ye Chutang's eyes.
"continue."
Ye Yunfeng received affirmation and became more confident.
"I've seen that there is only Xiaogushan nearby that can serve as a cover. As long as Lord Siye leads his troops to bypass Xiaogushan and advance towards Tongtian Pass from two directions, they can avoid the enemy's attention and catch them off guard. Therefore, their 20,000 troops are the key to determining victory or defeat!"
He spoke madly and passionately, and when he finished, he realized that the room was very quiet. Only Ye Chutang was looking at him quietly with one hand on his chin, and there seemed to be a thin layer of mist in his dark eyes.
Ye Yunfeng rarely felt embarrassed: "Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Nothing, I just remembered that whenever my brother mentioned the war, he would always talk endlessly, as if he had endless things to say."
Ye Yunfeng was stunned.
When he was a child, he really liked to run around behind his brother. His brother was very brave and sometimes even his father couldn't discipline him.
Sister had little interest in these things, but brother insisted on dragging her along. Seeing her helplessly holding the hand warmer and keeping watch for them, he called to them in a soft voice: "Brother, have you guys had enough fun? Should we go back? Daddy and Mommy are coming to look for us—"
Ye Chutang suppressed his emotions, suppressed the memories that came to his mind, and spoke with relief:
"What you just said is good, better than I expected."
Ye Yunfeng's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Ye Chutang looked serious.
"Many people have never been to the battlefield, so they think that fighting a war only requires a large number of people. But in fact, it is far from that simple. The more soldiers you lead, the more complicated it becomes, and the more difficult the battle will be. You understand this, and you also know how to observe the terrain and design a plan, which is really good."
Some people, after experiencing the baptism of war, will gradually understand the rules of the battlefield and become victorious generals with their rich experience.
Some people seem to be born with an extra pair of eyes than others. They can stand on a high place and look down on everything, anticipate changes on the battlefield, seize the initiative with the most agile and quick response, and win victory.
This kind of person is a natural born general!
She asked Ye Yunfeng to conduct a sand table simulation, but she only gave this one order from beginning to end and did not say anything else.
He was self-taught and was even better than she thought!
It was rare for Ye Yunfeng to hear his elder sister praise him like this, and he was flattered.
But when he thought of the battle at Tongtian Pass, he frowned again.
"But that's the problem. Lord Siye has no reason to deliberately delay sending troops!"
He sighed somewhat dejectedly.
"If only——"
Ye Chutang suddenly interrupted him: "So, you think this is the only solution?"
Ye Yunfeng was stunned: "...right, what else can we do besides this?"
Ye Chutang was silent for a long time and shook his head gently.
“There is another way.”
