Mo xiuyao looked at the general at the bottom and asked, "you all want to know when to attack the city?"
The generals nodded in succession. They were eager to see through. The imperial city of Xiling is about to be captured. This is a feat that the Mohist army has not achieved in nearly 200 years.
Mo xiuyao looked at them with a smile and said, "my king did not intend to attack the imperial city."
Hearing the speech, people can't help but look surprised. Although some guesses have been made, they are still surprised when they really hear that. What's more, if they don't plan to attack the city, they don't have to come here. Can't they go straight back to the capital? Can't the garrison of Xiling dare to chase them all the way?
"Lord Why not Or cloud Ting can't help but raise his hand to ask, all eyes immediately stare at Mo xiuyao.
Mo xiuyao asked faintly, "how many troops and horses did the Mohist army lose before and after attacking Biancheng?"
The people were silent, although the Mohist army had a rare and smooth journey. But Biancheng still lost a lot of troops. According to the preliminary calculation, nearly 890000 troops were lost in the first battle of Biancheng. It's almost the sum of the losses along the way after and before. The reason why there are still 300000 troops under the imperial city of Xiling is that Lu Songxian sent more than 100000 soldiers to come. These are the most elite troops of the Mohist army.
Mo xiuyao said: "although Xiling imperial city is not as long as Biancheng City, its defense capability is definitely better than Biancheng city. In addition Shun Tian, the last of the three famous generals, is in the imperial city. It is true that the Mohist army can capture the imperial city of Xiling, but I don't want to pay so much loss. In addition I don't want to destroy the defense of this city. "
This imperial city is not very old, and it is only about 150 years ago. It was built by Xiling state for more than ten years. When the Xiling was first established, the states in the western regions were not at peace. The two emperors who founded the country in Xiling were brave enough to choose the imperial city near the border. Or there is a sense that future generations should always be vigilant. Once the Mohist army captured the whole northern territory of Xiling, the former Xiling border would become the border of Mohist army. And this once imperial city will be the strongest and last gate to defend the western regions.
"Well What does the Lord intend to do? Can't we just waste or stop fighting? " Zhang Qilan asked.
Mo xiuyao smiles but doesn't answer. Everyone looks at Ye Li eagerly.
Ye Li lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile, "the military law says: the upper soldiers attack the plan, the second attack the diplomatic relations, the second attack the soldiers, and the next attack the city The best policy is to subdue the soldiers without fighting. "
People worship: the princess is really heaven and man.
Feng Zhiyao touched his nose and thought silently: which book of war is this?
Cloud ting a face of admiration: the princess read a lot of books, the young master chewed the books of war for three months, but still didn't see it!
"Cough…" Feng Zhiyao coughed and asked respectfully, "does the princess mean to subdue the soldiers without fighting? This I'm afraid it's not so easy? " Even if the emperor of Xiling was really a fool, the officials of the imperial court would not agree to give the imperial city to them. That is the Imperial City, the capital of a country, not a piece of potato!
Ye Li said with a smile, "OK, can't we just wait and see?"
Zhang Qilan frowned and asked, "if we don't attack the city, then What will be done if there is a large army coming to rescue? " Mo xiuyao gave him a light look and said, "how to deal with it? Nature is killing! The imperial city doesn't have to worry about him. During this period, any Xiling troops who come to support us will be killed by the king! "
The crowd was relieved and still wanted to fight. But in the field, they must have an advantage over the siege.
"Yes, my subordinates!" All of them answered in unison. Feng Zhiyao was thoughtful. In fact Is this a kind of attack?
"To the prince and princess, someone from outside the camp came out of the imperial city of Xiling to see him." The guard at the door came in and announced.
Mo xiuyao raised his eyebrows and asked, "who is it?"
The guard said, "it's the fourth young master of the Xu family, but he doesn't have the keepsake of Prince Ding's house, so…" Xu Qingbai is different from Xu Qingchen and Xu Qingze, who often lives in Licheng, and Xu Qingfeng who mixes in the military camp. There are not many people who know him in Mohist army. In particular, the ordinary soldiers at the lower level knew less about him, so according to the rules, they had to report in advance before they could be put into the camp.
Ye Li hears speech but is a joy, "four elder brothers come?"
Mo xiuyao pulled Ye Li up and said with a smile, "in this case, let's go out to meet the fourth young master. Ben Wang thinks he will bring us good news. " People are also curious. How could the fourth master of the Xu family be in the imperial city of Xiling? More importantly, what good news will he bring to them?
When they went outside the camp, someone had already stepped out to meet Xu Qingbai. It was Xu Qingfeng who happened to meet Xu Qingfeng when he went out and wandered around. When he saw that his fourth brother, who was supposed to be a potato grower in the northwest, appeared in Xiling in a strange way and still came out of the Imperial City, Xu Qingfeng was shocked. He took Xu Qingbai and looked at him for a long time. He was sure that there was no damage. Then he asked, "fourth brother, how can you be here? Do you know? "
Xu Qingbai shook his head in a good mood and said with a smile: "third brother, it seems that you have a good life?"Xu Qingfeng was elated and said with a smile: "of course, your third brother has made a lot of contributions this time. Qin Feng said that he would promote me to be the vice commander of Qilin when he went back. " Although Xu Qingfeng also knows that there are some aspects of his cousin's affection among them. After all, he is not the only one who has made contributions to the team, but he also knows that Qin Feng is definitely not a person who does not separate public from private, which at least shows that Qin Feng has recognized his ability.
"Congratulations to the third brother." Xu Qingbai said with a smile. Xu Qingfeng grinned and said, "you haven't told me why you are here? If she knew you were here, she would not be scared to death
Xu Qingbai had no choice but to smile bitterly: "my father and elder brother know that when my side is OK, I will write back to hold peace. Third brother, I need to see lil and Dingwang
"Third brother…" As he said, Ye Li and Mo xiuyao had already stepped out first, followed by a huge string, which made Xu Qingbai feel flattered.
"How?" Mo xiuyao asked lightly.
"It's not a shame." Xu Qingbai smiles.
