Chapter 107 If you don't believe me, please look at today's discussion.
The Lord recognized Cui Liuniang as his sister and specially named her the Princess of Northern Yan.
As soon as the news came out, the entire Northern Yan army was stunned for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, so no one paid much attention to it. It was just another princess, and it had no impact on them.
Thinking of this princess who came to Chongshan Pass and proposed the method of "killing ten people a day if the gate is not opened", which caused panic among the people in Chongshan City and civil unrest from time to time, everyone still admired her and thought it was not bad to have this princess.
Some who were close to the Cui brothers and sisters even came to congratulate them.
On the second day, Yan Xingchuan summoned all the civil and military officials in the big tent to discuss how to attack Chongshan Pass next.
Cui Si accepted the invitation and was accompanied by Cui Jing and Jiang Cinian.
When they arrived, Yan Xingchuan had already arrived and was sitting in the main seat.
He was injured and poisoned and had been lying in bed for more than ten days. He had become thinner and his face was pale. When he saw them coming, he looked up.
Everyone bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord."
"No need to be polite." He withdrew his gaze and then said to the crowd, "I believe you have all heard that Cui Shi Liu Niang is as capable as any man, and her wisdom and strategy are unparalleled. Yesterday, I heard that she had a brilliant plan to capture Chongshan Pass, so I acknowledged her as my sister, and made her my consort of the King of Northern Yan."
"Today's meeting will be chaired by Princess Wang, and I will be in attendance."
The sight of a woman presiding over a meeting, and a war at that, caused the faces of the civil and military officials present to change drastically.
Some dissatisfied people immediately stood up and said: "Master, if you want to recognize your sister, we have no objection and can preside over the meeting. But I'm afraid..." it is not appropriate.
Yan Xingchuan raised his hand, stopping the other party from saying the next sentence: "Everyone, please meet Princess Wang first."
Upon hearing this, everyone had no choice but to bow and say, "Greetings, Princess Wang."
"No need for formalities." Cui Si accepted the formalities from everyone and felt relieved. She thought that this princess had done a pretty good job. At least in the future, there would be very few people who would require her to perform formal formalities.
That bastard Yan Xingchuan finally did something decent.
"I know that you are dissatisfied with a woman like me presiding over the meeting. You feel that the Lord is partial to one another and that it is absurd to joke about matters of life and death."
A general said, "Since the princess knows it, why bother saying more? Just be a princess and we will naturally respect you."
"General, what you said makes perfect sense. If I were incompetent and ignorant of military matters, I would naturally have to be content to be a princess. I don't seek meritorious service to Northern Yan, but only hope not to make mistakes and bring trouble to the soldiers."
Everyone present felt relieved upon hearing this, secretly rejoicing that the princess was not stupid enough to say this.
"However, matters of life and death, and matters of state, are the responsibility of every man, whether he is a man or a woman. If you have the ability, you should naturally do your part."
"The Lord asked me to preside over the meeting because he trusts my ability, and I dare to stand here because I believe I have the ability and can do it better than others."
"I am here today, asking for nothing else but a way to achieve the greatest victory in this battle with the least sacrifice."
"If you don't believe me, just look at what we're discussing today."
"If my siege plan is inappropriate, you may raise objections. If more than half agree, I will follow my plan. If more than half oppose, I will seek another strategy. I, the princess, will also retreat to the rear and dare not interfere in the war."
"how?"
What Cui Si said was well-reasoned and reasonable.
She is willing to listen to everyone's opinions and does not force everyone to listen to her.
The gentlemen discussed it quietly for a few words, then nodded:
"In that case, I am all ears."
Yan Xingchuan smiled and said, "Cui Liuniang is not an incompetent person. If that were the case, I would not dare to entrust the matter to her. I know that when I start a rebellion with you, victory or defeat means life and death. I dare not take it as a joke."
In her previous life, Cui Si was naturally very capable in marching and fighting.
Moreover, she never fought like them, charging straight ahead. She always paid attention to planning and strategy, trying to win the battle with the least sacrifice.
Whether attacking or defending a city, he has always been fearless in the face of danger and has both courage and strategy.
While guarding the rear, he not only managed the affairs of the frontier and ensured the people's well-being, but also provided a steady supply of military supplies and fodder to the Northern Yan army.
She naturally made an indelible contribution to Northern Yan's conquest of the world.
Thinking of this, the smile on Yan Xingchuan's face faded again.
This was one of the reasons why she resented and hated him so much and refused to look back.
She stood by him through thick and thin, worked hard, and gave so much, but in the end, she was kicked away, and all her years of hard work were in vain.
Is it possible that she works so hard because of him?
She also wants to be the queen.
But he selfishly thought that as long as the two of them were together and stayed together forever, fame, wealth and honor were not important.
He wanted to let go of everything and live a relaxed and comfortable life, but he never thought about whether she was willing.
Yan Xingchuan felt a dull pain in his heart, as if he was being cut again and again.
He thought about it and finally came up with only one solution.
If he is lucky enough to gain the world again, he will give the throne to her when the world is at peace.
If she wants to sit on it, she can sit on it. If she doesn’t want to sit on it, maybe that brat will still be her child, so just give it to him.
He will never get married again anyway.
When everyone heard Yan Xingchuan say this, they hurriedly said, "We would like to hear Princess Wang's wise advice."
The atmosphere was set at this point, and all that was left was Cui Si's plan to attack the city. If she won the battle, her status as the princess of Northern Yan would naturally be extraordinary.
If Yan Xingchuan agrees, all civil and military officials will obey his orders.
"Everyone, please look at the sand table." Cui Si pointed to the sand table placed in the center of the tent.
In the sand table, cliffs, mountains and hills stretched endlessly for thousands of miles, separating Yuanzhou and Yunzhou.
But there is always a way out. In the middle of this mountain range, it was as if it was cut by a divine sword, and the mountain range was severed, leaving behind a valley that connected Yuanzhou and Yunzhou.
And this heavy mountain city built in the Broken Valley is like a giant beast lying in the valley, blocking the passages on both sides.
If the Northern Yan army wanted to march eastward, there was no way around it, so they had to attack by force. However, a strong attack would make the mountain city easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as they held the city gates, they could take advantage of the natural barrier.
If the Northern Yan army wants to capture Chongshan City, they have to risk their lives and storm the city. This is the only way to capture the city.
In the previous life, Yan Xingchuan led the Northern Yan army, and Jiang Shao led the imperial army to launch a battle to seize the city.
Both sides suffered countless casualties. Yan Xingchuan narrowly won and Jiang Shao was defeated, but 60 to 70 percent of the Northern Yan army was also killed.
The ground is littered with the corpses of soldiers who died in battle, and it is impossible to tell us apart.
This is also why Yan Xingchuan would rather fight a life-and-death battle with Jiang Shao than to storm the city like in his previous life.
"Chongshan City is flanked by cliffs. Our army is in front, and Yunzhou is behind us. If our army can climb the cliffs and directly launch a fire attack on the inner city, our chances of success will be greatly increased..."
