Chapter 179 The Determination to Win
When everyone looked, they saw a young general, wearing armor, fully armed, with a determined look on his face, walking out from the group of generals.
Nalan Youci looked at the man, "General Li, how do you want to fight?"
Hearing this, General Li said in a deep voice: "In the southern border, we have an advantageous terrain. We can rely on the terrain to fight a protracted war with the Northern Mang army."
"We can send out a small force to continuously harass the Beiliang army."
"We can't fight, so we run."
"Anyway, just one word back to make them 'agitated'."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Youci nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, he turned and looked at Zhao Zhu.
Zhao Zhu's eyes lit up.
He agreed too.
Zhao Zhu said slowly: "General Li, since you have already made a plan, you can present the declaration of war and we can discuss it."
next moment.
General Li quickly presented the plan.
After reading it, Zhao Zhu was also satisfied.
Then he handed it to Nalan Youci, "Sir, take a look."
Nalan Youci also read it.
He did not express his opinion, but turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, please sit down. Let's take a look at this request for battle and General Li's plan."
In fact, General Li’s method is very simple and very effective.
this moment.
Zhao Zhu and Nalan Youci did not speak, but gestured to pass the letter of request to others.
After reading the letter of request and the statements contained therein, everyone fell silent.
Surprisingly, at this time, no one stood up to speak.
Zhao Zhu and Nalan Youci looked at each other.
Nalan Youci said: "Everyone, please feel free to speak up if you have anything to say. There is no need to hide anything. As long as we have a way to hinder the Beiliang army from moving south, please tell us so that we can study it together."
At this time, Nalan Youci didn't want to dampen everyone's interest, so he waited for them to speak.
It's just the general direction. Naturally, I still have to follow Zhao Zhu and my own policies. I must not slack off and I must not allow any problems to arise.
Zhao Zhu glanced at the crowd and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Nalan is right. Although our troops who went to attack were severely damaged, our troops have not suffered any losses. You can speak freely without being restrained."
soon.
Some people started discussing it.
Some are in favor and some are against.
One of them clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I think this is feasible."
Zhao Zhu nodded, "Tell me the reason."
The man continued, "We are sending out troops this time to fight Beiliang to the death. We cannot retreat now. Otherwise, the morale that we have worked so hard to build up will be destroyed. Once morale drops, we will become Beiliang's lambs to be slaughtered and we will be at their mercy."
When everyone heard this, they all looked solemn.
This time Beiliang's march south and Southern Xinjiang's dispatch of troops is actually a battle for the whole world. Failure of either side will be a catastrophe, and naturally these generals cannot escape responsibility.
All of a sudden.
The generals and officials in the camp were all discussing:
"We can't be careless about this matter."
"Fight with Beiliang. We must not lose."
"For the people of Southern Xinjiang, for Liyang..."
"..."
At this moment.
Everyone in the camp was furious and their eyes were blazing with anger.
The worry that I had originally felt disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Zhao Zhu and Nalan Youci looked at each other.
They did not stop the generals and ministers from discussing.
Instead, he sat on it and watched and listened to the discussion below.
Not long after.
Nalan Youci suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, how is the discussion going?"
All of a sudden.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked up at the two people, one was Zhao Zhu and the other was Nalan Youci.
Zhao Zhu didn't say anything.
Nalan Youci continued, "Everyone, I have listened to your opinions. Most of them are for us to continue fighting and not retreat."
"Okay, okay, okay, it means you have realized the seriousness of the situation. It is time to fight Beiliang to the death."
"As for some people who think we should retreat and make new plans, that's because you don't know Beiliang's strategy yet. They don't want to fight us head-on. They want to wait for us to tire ourselves out, and then they can take over Southern Xinjiang without sending out any troops. But you must always remember that we are Liyang's army, the army of the Emperor of the Zhao family. Our prince is of the royal bloodline of the Zhao family, and we have the right to rule. Beiliang is a rebel army."
"They are rebelling."
After the ministers finished speaking, they fell silent for a moment.
Because they knew very well at this moment that what Nalan Youci said was right. They had a legitimate reason to fight, while Beiliang had no legitimate reason to fight. If they did not send troops, they would probably be laughed at by the world, and the other vassal kings would have been defeated by the Beiliang army. If Southern Xinjiang did not respond at this time, I'm afraid... people's hearts would change.
In addition, Beiliang is an invincible army. If it is not dealt with in time, Southern Xinjiang will probably fall into a disadvantage.
In fact, southern Xinjiang is now at a disadvantage.
Thinking of this.
Nalan Youci knew clearly that Southern Xinjiang no longer had any advantage in terms of military strength. If Northern Liang wanted to go directly south and flatten Southern Xinjiang, it would have already captured the city long ago.
But until now, the Northern Liang army still has not done so, wanting to let Southern Xinjiang fall into their hands without any losses.
...But, how is this possible?
How could the generals and ministers in southern Xinjiang agree to this?
They worked hard to build Southern Xinjiang, but in the end they had to hand it over to others, and they had been holding a grudge for a long time.
Now that the war has broken out, the generals and ministers in Southern Xinjiang are immediately ready to fight a decisive battle with the Northern Liang army, but there are also some generals and ministers who feel that they should not advance rashly.
There are such people among the people led by Zhao Zhu.
When the war is about to break out, it is definitely unacceptable if there are such people who affect morale.
Therefore, Zhao Zhu and Nalan Youci discussed that they must carry out a mobilization and also wanted to see who supported and who opposed.
After this discussion, both sides have made it clear.
Who supports, who opposes, and who is neutral.
But what made Zhao Zhu and Nalan Youci feel at ease was that those who supported it were in the majority, while those who did not support it or were neutral were still in the minority.
Thus.
Zhao Zhu and Nalan Youci already had an idea in their minds.
Nalan Youci turned and looked at Zhao Zhu, who nodded.
After receiving Zhao Zhu's signal, the two had already finalized their ideas and plans. Nalan Youci said, "Everyone, listen to my orders."
Suddenly, the camp became quiet.
The generals and ministers all looked at Nalan Youci.
Nalan Youci said in a deep voice: "Order General Li to lead the charge and challenge us."
"The rest of the generals and ministers, just follow my orders."
"We must be determined to win this time."
Generals and ministers: "I obey your orders."
Zhao Zhu nodded.
After all the generals and ministers left, Zhao Zhu looked worried as he stared at Nalan Youci, "Mr. Nalan, do you think General Li has a chance of winning this time?"
Nalan Youci shook his head: "I don't know."
