Chapter 178 Refuse to surrender
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a heated discussion.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Beiliang already knows our Nanjiang's intentions?"
"What should we do... We are alone in deep territory now. If there is no surprise attacking army to join us, we will be in a passive position."
"Yeah, that's not a good thing."
"terrible."
"..."
At this moment, the ministers and generals who were going to lead the attack gathered in the tent.
The people who led this army were Zhao Zhu and Nalan Youci.
The two men have not appeared yet, but these ministers and generals have already started discussing with each other. Each person has received different information and has different concerns in his heart.
Therefore, the military camp was quite noisy at this moment.
Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Advisor Nalan Youci have not arrived yet, the entire military camp is extremely noisy.
They gathered in groups of three or five to discuss with each other.
"Cough cough cough..."
There was a slight cough.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhao Zhu walking in front, followed by Nalan Youci.
The two men walked into the central military camp, one in front and one behind.
Then sat down.
At this time, everyone in the camp was silent.
In fact, Zhao Zhu had been listening to the discussion outside the military tent.
Even Nalan Youci followed behind.
a long time.
Zhao Zhu glanced at the generals and ministers and asked, "Everyone, how is the discussion going?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
One of them heard this and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this matter is serious and must not be taken lightly."
"This time when we sent out our troops, they were supposed to join us. How come they were discovered by the Northern Liang army? This is impossible."
"And they were defeated by the Beiliang army. This is unheard of."
"..."
These words were like a stone thrown into a pond, which immediately caused ripples and then turned into circles of water waves that spread outward.
The entire central army camp seemed to explode instantly.
Zhao Zhu and Nalan Youci did not say anything, but just listened to the discussions.
They seemed to have guessed this situation a long time ago.
a long time.
One of them turned to look at Zhao Zhu who was sitting at the top, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please make a decision. We are alone and deep in the enemy territory. If we are not careful, we will fall into danger. It is extremely dangerous."
Zhao Zhu didn't say anything.
Nalan Youci finally spoke, saying calmly: "Everyone, I know you are worried, but even though we are in this situation, you must remember that we are the elite of Southern Xinjiang. How can we be frightened by the army of Northern Liang? Everyone present here is a good general of Southern Xinjiang. What we need to do is to defeat them, then go north and unify the world."
"By that time, you will all be considered as founding heroes."
"..."
"It's just a bit of a rough patch now, so don't waver."
After hearing what Nalan Youci said, everyone fell silent.
Because the man in front of them is the number one strategist in Southern Xinjiang. His reputation is on par with that of Li Yishan and others, and he is also the stabilizer of Southern Xinjiang.
But this time it was Zhao Zhu who led the army.
Zhao Zhu is the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang, and that’s fine, but he has never led troops before. Now he suddenly comes out to lead the troops, and the others are a little worried.
Zhao Zhu heard this and looked at the generals and ministers. "Everyone, I know what you are thinking, but I want to tell you that even if I die, I will not retreat. Our marching route is kept secret. Up to now, the Northern Liang army only knows our vanguard, and we have already fought. We did not suffer any loss, but fought a draw with the opponent. We were just a little bit hurt by the defeat of the sneak attack troops. You don't have to worry. This prince and Mr. Nalan have discussed it, and naturally we have a countermeasure. Now I come here to discuss it with you. You can propose any good strategies. At this time, there is no need to hide it."
"Good or bad, this prince likes to hear them all."
"As long as you speak out..."
This is just a drop in the ocean.
Suddenly the camp was in an uproar.
Many suggestions were expressed in the camp, and some concerns were also raised...
There were also people who wanted to withdraw their troops...but when they heard about the withdrawal, everyone turned to look at that person.
But this person expressed the thoughts of many people.
Some people also strongly opposed withdrawing troops at this time.
The two sides had an argument over this matter.
The camp suddenly became bustling with activity, and everyone expressed their own ideas.
The party that withdrew its troops said that it was to better protect the manpower in southern Xinjiang by building high walls and storing up grain. It would not be easy for Beiliang to capture southern Xinjiang.
The party that cannot withdraw its troops also has its own ideas. Once it withdraws its troops, things will become very complicated. As the saying goes, over and over again, and then it will be exhausted. Once the morale of the soldiers is hit, it may not be so easy to boost it again.
Moreover, they are still facing the Northern Liang army. If they retreat, what will the people of Southern Xinjiang think?
People in Southern Xinjiang will certainly think that the army is afraid of the army of Northern Liang, which will certainly cause speculation among people in Southern Xinjiang.
Thus.
Something bad is happening.
This was not the result Zhao Zhu wanted to see, and he absolutely could not let it happen, otherwise, Southern Xinjiang would have been defeated.
……
Zhao Zhu glanced at Nalan Youci.
The latter also nodded.
Then, the top strategist of Southern Xinjiang slowly stood up, looked at everyone, and said, "Quiet, quiet, everyone, listen to me."
When everyone heard Nalan Youci speak, they fell silent and looked at the number one strategist in southern Xinjiang, waiting for what to say next.
suddenly.
The camp was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Nalan Youci slowly spoke, "Everyone, you are all the backbone of Southern Xinjiang. His Highness knows that you are all loyal. Regardless of whether you are in favor of war or those who want to retreat, you are all for Southern Xinjiang. But you should think about this. If we retreat without fighting this time, what will the people of Southern Xinjiang who stand behind us think?"
"They will feel that the generals and ministers in Southern Xinjiang whom they have always supported are unable to protect them. So why should they continue to support the prince? Your Highness?"
"By that time, even if Beiliang doesn't move south, we will be in disarray. Will our lives be easy?"
"This is also the situation Beiliang wants to see the most. They can defeat us without spending a single soldier."
Nalan Youci's words were like a needle, piercing the hearts of every general and official in the military camp, and they all looked at each other.
It seems to be at this very moment.
They all fell into deep thought.
Don't know what to say.
Nalan Youci's words touched their hearts.
Everyone nodded.
next moment.
A general stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please give the order. I am willing to go out and fight against the Beiliang army."
then.
With requests for battle coming one after another, the entire military camp suddenly became serious. Even the generals who had previously called for retreat were also moved at this moment.
One of them said, “I would like to do that too.”
