Li Ye frowned and said, "This is exactly what I'm worried about.
It can be said that the 500,000-strong army was mobilized in full force.
This was almost all the troops they could mobilize.
If we attack together, we will definitely win."
Zhao Wudi said solemnly, "Your Highness must guard against the enemy's conspiracy, so they deliberately avoid attacking our army.
Maybe it's to confuse our judgment.
Lower our guard.
Once they enter our territory, they will immediately launch a surprise attack when we are least prepared."
Li Ye nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense. We must make multiple assumptions and find the best way to deal with it."
Zhao Wudi continued, "But I'm also worried that the enemy will become smarter and bypass us to plunder the Qi family.
All in all, the enemy's deployment of troops this time was really too strange.
For a moment, I couldn’t figure out the other party’s true intentions.”
“Now we have more than 150,000 cavalrymen in total.
Since we have strong enough strength, we are not afraid of the enemy's conspiracies and tricks.
If they dare to divide their forces, they can be devoured one by one.
If all of them were directed at us, there would be no need to worry.
We are about to make another fortune!"
Li Ye sneered.
I already have a way to deal with it in my mind.
I won’t move unless the enemy does.
First observe the enemy's movements, figure out their purpose, and then strike with thunder.
Zhao Wudi also agreed with Li Ye's idea: "Your Highness is right. The largest ceremonial weapon we have now is these 150,000 cavalrymen.
Plus, we have crossbows, so even if we face an enemy force of the same size, we still have the advantage."
"But don't be too confident. We already exposed our strength in the last battle.
The enemy is definitely not that stupid, they will definitely make preparations.
Don't rely too much on the crossbow, otherwise we will suffer losses sooner or later." Li Ye reminded.
I don't know why I always feel vaguely uneasy.
I always feel that there is an invisible black hand behind the scenes plotting something.
If we don't understand it, it will be difficult to win this battle.
"Your Highness, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not!" Lei Zhan suddenly spoke.
"Let's discuss this together. Feel free to share any ideas you have. It doesn't matter if they're wrong.
The decision is mine, I'll take responsibility for everything, don't feel any psychological burden!" Li Ye said.
"I think our plan all depends on the troops in the army.
The total number of troops stationed in other places is more than 200,000.
Even if we let them help contain the enemy, it wouldn't be so difficult for us," Lei Zhan said.
"Based on their behavior, it seems they are all focused on self-preservation. How could they be willing to send troops?
Not to mention that the Third Prince was putting pressure on them and not allowing them to go to war.
If we rely on them for support, you can imagine what will happen to us!" Lei Ying said angrily.
Li Ye stretched out his hand to signal him to stop, and said with a smile: "I think what Lei Zhan said makes sense!
When they are stationed at the border, they have the obligation to deal with the enemy with all their strength.
How can we eat the country's food and do nothing?"
Everyone was very confused after hearing this.
The Sixth Prince has no right to command them in battle, so how can he make them fight with their full strength?
"I'm afraid this won't be easy, right? They only follow the court's orders and never seek to achieve anything meritorious but to avoid any fault.
"When the enemy approaches with such force, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely defense." Even Zhao Wudi felt that Li Ye's idea was too idealistic.
Sometimes defeat in a war is not because the enemy is too strong, but because one's own people are dragging one's feet or even stabbing one in the back.
"Yes, General Zhao is right! There is no need for them to take the risk to help us.
Unless there is a transfer order from the court!
Otherwise, we should quickly ride eight miles to deliver a letter to the Emperor, requesting that he give you command of all the troops stationed at the border."
Ruyuejun㹏 said.
"Impossible! Father has already begun to restrict my power.
If you hand over all the troops to me, it means that the entire northern land will be under my control.
I’m afraid my father won’t be able to sleep at night!
"The safest way to deal with the imperial court is to wait for the enemy to attack the hinterland and then send troops to intercept them." Li Ye rejected Ruyue Jun's request without hesitation.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch the Qi family suffer this disaster?"
Li Ye pointed to his head and said, "Use your brain more. I think Lei Zhan's suggestion is the most reliable."
Everyone looked at Li Ye with confusion, and they really couldn't figure out how to get the other garrisons to provide full support.
“If they don’t fight, find a way to make them fight!
Perhaps the enemy's target is us, or perhaps the Dayuan clan.
In short, it is almost impossible to attack the garrisons at the border.
Because their cities are tall, their military forces are strong, and their food and grass are sufficient.
Even if they siege for a month or two and suffer heavy casualties, they are not guaranteed victory.
When the fighting breaks out, we can send an army disguised as a garrison to provide support.
If the enemy is not fooled, then attack them a few more times from the rear.
Once the enemy has suffered heavy losses, they will surely regard the troops stationed in the rear as a huge threat.
It is necessary to divide the troops and surround the garrison.
Wouldn't this tie up most of the troops?"
After hearing what Li Ye said, everyone was stunned with shock.
War is always about finding ways to trap the enemy.
Li Ye, however, did the opposite and specifically pitted his own friendly forces.
But if you think about it carefully, this is the only way to make the garrison fight.
At least we can tie down 200,000 enemy troops, and only have to deal with the remaining 300,000, which will be much less stressful.
"I think your highness has this idea, so leave it to me!
It is guaranteed to piss off the enemy and make them hate the garrison."
Lei Zhan loved this kind of excitement the most and immediately volunteered.
"No, you have to command all the infantry, and the safety of the entire army is in your hands.
How can I do such a task?" Li Ye refused without hesitation.
Lei Zhan's face was full of hope: "Yes, I obey your command."
Li Ye looked at Lei Ying and said, "To do this kind of thing requires an extremely precise grasp of intelligence.
You select three suitable men and give them each 10,000 cavalry.
Hide somewhere else first.
Wait for the right opportunity to take action immediately, disguise yourself as garrisons from various places and attack the enemy.
Be sure to pay attention and run away after fighting, don't let them catch up.
If we are surrounded, not only will our plan fail.
Entire armies could be wiped out.”
Lei Ying said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will make sure everything is properly arranged."
Li Ye looked at Zhao Wudi again and said, "All the remaining cavalry will be under your command.
Also hide in other places and try not to be discovered by the enemy.
Find the right fighter to take action!
As long as they dare to split up their forces to plunder the Que clan, we will immediately annihilate the outnumbered enemy forces!"
"Yes, I will obey your command!" Zhao Wudi agreed loudly with a firm expression.
Li Ye took a deep breath and said, "Next, we'll just have to wait and see what the enemy does!
Let's see what their purpose is in invading Dayuan this time."
