Li Ye was very surprised after listening to Princess Ruyue's analysis.
Princess Ruyue is indeed quite experienced in leading troops in battle.
She is truly worthy of being the daughter of the King.
Not only was he influenced by it since childhood, but he also went on many military expeditions.
Learned many military tactics.
This is completely different from what I usually know about her.
As everyone knows, Princess Ruyue is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her talent is particularly outstanding.
She is known as the most talented woman in the capital.
Who would have thought that he was also a master of both martial arts and martial arts?
Normally, he doesn't show off.
Li Ye refused to admit that he knew how to lead troops.
He smiled and said, "My princess thinks too highly of me! I do this simply because I know my own abilities.
I don't understand and dare not give random orders, so I can only leave it to people who are truly capable.
This is the only solution.”
Princess Ruyue was extremely intelligent and could tell at a glance that Li Ye was lying.
As long as you are good at using talents, how can you not know how to lead troops?
She did not expose him, but smiled and said, "Your Highness is able to make reasonable use of talents, which is already good enough.
Someone like Your Highness is more suitable to be a general. The Emperor is really wasting your talent by letting you be a general."
"You are exaggerating too much. I don't deserve it!"
Princess Ruyue did not continue to dwell on this matter.
Out of curiosity, he asked the question he had been wondering about for a long time: "Your Highness requires all soldiers to eat meat every meal. Even if the supply is sufficient, I am afraid that the silver allocated by the court will not be enough.
If we cannot return to the South, all the military pay will be spent.
What should I do when it happens?
Does His Highness really intend to support 15,000 troops out of his own pocket?"
"There's no need to hide it from you!" Li Ye explained simply, "The salary provided by the court is indeed not enough to cover our expenses at this rate.
I do intend to pay for it out of my own pocket first.
But there is no need to worry too much.
After leaving the front-line battlefield, as long as they can defeat the enemy, they will then enter the border of Annan.
Or they surrender and pay for all the damages.
Or just let the army plunder, wouldn't it be easy to earn back this money?
This prince will never suffer any loss in doing things."
Princess Ruyue was stunned with shock.
I didn't expect Li Ye to dare to come up with such an idea.
He truly has a business mind.
She had never heard of anyone making the other party pay compensation after winning a battle.
What's more, allowing the army to loot the enemy also carries great risks.
If the enemy has surrendered, then proceed to plunder.
It will seriously affect the reputation of the Dayuan Dynasty.
Once the censors or political enemies report this matter, it will leave a huge hidden danger.
The Dayuan Dynasty, the most powerful country in the world, would even more disdain to do such a thing.
Only supplies captured by defeating the enemy on the front battlefield can be considered as gains.
"I'm afraid the imperial court won't allow this, right?"
Princess Ruyue was very worried that Li Ye would get carried away and make a big mistake, so she hurried to persuade him.
"Don't worry, all the compensation was given voluntarily by the enemy, I didn't force it.
In addition, those who were looted were stubborn enemies who refused to surrender, so they should be taught a lesson.
This prince only follows one principle when fighting.
Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to one's own people."
When Li Ye said this, the smile on his face completely disappeared and became even colder.
"How dare the tiny nation of Annan rebel and invade our Great Yuan Dynasty?
How many people died at their hands?
If you just defeat it, you won't let it go easily.
How can we be worthy of the souls of those who died unjustly?
We must use all means to weaken the enemy's strength and use this to deter other rogue nations."
If other officials heard Li Ye's remarks.
There will definitely be immediate opposition.
As the saying goes, China is the most superior country in the world, so we must be generous and show a broad mind in doing things.
We must win people over with virtue and inspire the enemy.
Even if an enemy country comes to pay tribute, the return gift will be at least double.
Let them feel the wealth and power of the Dayuan Dynasty.
These things are bullshit in Li Ye's opinion.
Only powerful military force and iron-blooded means can make those enemy countries surrender forever and not dare to show the slightest thought of resistance.
And we must suppress them with all our strength both economically and militarily.
Make these countries forever unable to wage war against the Dayuan Dynasty.
Princess Ruyue has followed King Bingxiang on many expeditions.
I have seen many ordinary people killed by the enemy at the border. It was a very tragic scene.
There is no sympathy for the enemy.
This was exactly the same as Li Ye's idea, and the two reached a consensus at once.
"I support your idea! We don't bully these small countries on a regular basis, so they should be thankful.
Yet they still dared to attack us.
They really need to be taught a lesson.”
Princess Ruyue said immediately.
Li Ye was overjoyed, he finally found a soulmate.
"So you think so too! Just wait and see, I will definitely give Annan a good beating this time.
Let them never dare to have any ill intentions towards the Dayuan Dynasty in their entire lives."
Next, the army set off.
The army led by Li Ye still had meat for every meal.
All the soldiers in the army were beaming with joy after eating so much.
To prevent them from gaining weight too quickly, they would run a distance every day.
Improve their physical fitness.
We also strengthened training in troop deployment.
Li Ye designed several offensive and defensive formations specifically for the Annan army.
Even Zhao Wudi felt it was incredible.
This was the first time I felt that Li Ye’s business could bring such great help.
Jihe will deliver supplies once a day.
Ensure that the army not only has sufficient food and fodder, but also that the vegetables and meat are very fresh.
It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s an outing.
I have never experienced such an easy battle.
Even the firemen in the army have superb cooking skills, and the meals they cook are comparable to those in restaurants in the capital.
The soldiers praised the food highly.
They were all discussing privately how great it would be if they could follow Li Ye to fight in the future.
The morale during training was very high and everyone worked extremely hard.
Not only to repay Li Ye.
We must win the battle and survive so that we can continue to eat such delicious food.
Zhao Wudi finally understood why he was able to win so easily the last time he attacked Vulture Mountain.
It's not just about spending a lot of money to bribe these bandits.
The fighting spirit displayed by the army is also the key to defeating the bandits.
What shocked Zhao Wudi even more was that there were many bandits from Vulture Mountain escorting food and fodder for the army along the way.
All of them were recruited and became bodyguards for the company.
With these people escorting the goods, there is no need to worry about bandits robbing them, and the safety of the food and fodder can be guaranteed.
Anyone who can manage supplies to this extent can win the battle.
Zhao Wudi suddenly wanted to lead his army to attack the barbarians in front of Qin Qingxue.
Li Ye took care of everything and helped transport food and fodder.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Qin Qingxue really can't see the truth clearly, and now she's going to suffer!
His Royal Highness the Prince's abilities far exceed my imagination.
No wonder the Emperor values him so much!"
