C620 It Was Just a Piece of Paper

When Guxing came back to his senses, Ruolan was no longer in front of him. When he heard the endless training sound from the chicken, Guxing pulled Cann Yue out with a clang and finally made a decision.

The moment he walked out of the inn, the square table in the room with candlesticks and other things suddenly split into two.

At sunset, Bao Hong was accompanied by Yeh Jianhan and the others to the city wall. He looked at the Barbarian Army that was a few miles away and fell into deep thought. He turned around and asked one of the guards, "Has the Barbarian Army been doing nothing since just now?"

The guard replied respectfully and seriously, "Emperor, the Barbarian Army has been resting and reorganizing the entire army ever since they set up camp. It has been six hours since then. "

"I think they are afraid of Emperor's means. " The patriarch of the Yu Family, Yu Shikun, glanced at the dense traps outside the moat. He laughed softly and said, "The Barbarian Army is most proud of their incomparably brave cavalry army. After Emperor's arrangement, the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Barbarian Tribe were useless. I'm afraid they are having a headache on how to break through these obstacles. "

"What the Yu family Master said is true. The reason why the Barbarian Army didn't dare to take any action was all because of Emperor's contribution. Once the army of the Human Clan is fully assembled, what is there to fear from a small clan outside the border?" Xi Wuyi said with a cold snort.

Bao Hong smiled bitterly and swept his eyes across the two of them. He fixed his gaze on Yeh Jianhan, who was paying close attention to the movement of the Barbarian Army. He asked with great anticipation, "The master of the Yu family and the master of the Xi family have expressed their opinions. I wonder what opinion does Patriarch Yeh have?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Shikun and Xi Wuyi also looked at Yeh Jianhan. Although the three families had no choice but to stand on the same side due to the circumstances. However, this didn't mean that they could really trust each other. As the saying goes, good. Where there were people, there would be conflicts, not to mention that the three of them were enemies to begin with. Although it was not to the extent where they would fight, there was still a need to compare themselves. It just so happened that they wanted to see how brilliant Yeh Jianhan could be compared to them.

Only now did Yeh Jianhan regain his senses from watching. He smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Replying to Emperor. This official thought that the words of both Patriarchs made sense. Emperor's arrangement had indeed effectively hindered the Barbarian Army's attack. He had bought some time for the arrival of the reinforcements, but he couldn't underestimate the Barbarian Army because of this. In this official's opinion, Prince Qing Hen, who was the commander of the Barbarian Army, was definitely not a mediocre person. Just imagine, the Barbarian Army had come with a murderous aura, but they hadn't attacked yet. If it was under normal circumstances, there would definitely be different scale riots in the army. However, according to the observation of this official just now, not only did the Barbarian Army not show any anger or impatience, they also did not show any emotions. They're even talking and laughing, giving off a sense of calm and composed. "

"It has already been six hours, but the Barbarian Army still hasn't broken through the barriers set up by Emperor. Since they had already advanced to this point, the Barbarian Army naturally wouldn't retreat without a fight. They should also know what kind of serious consequences they will face if they continue to delay. As the saying goes, an abnormal situation was more dangerous than a demon. All the actions of the Barbarian Army were strange. We must be on guard. "

Bao Hong was slightly disappointed at the beginning. He thought that Yeh Jianhan was just an ordinary person. However, the more he heard, the more delighted he became. The same scene, Yu Shikun and Xi Wuyi saw the defeated side of Barbarian Army. They were proud of themselves for this, but Yeh Jianhan was thinking about the problem from the perspective of his enemies. He saw something even deeper. Comparing this point alone, The difference in strength was obvious. Bao Hong could not help but clap his hands and praise, "Well said! Patriarch Yeh indeed did not disappoint me. In that case, according to the patriarch's opinion, what was the purpose of Barbarian Army? Of course, the patriarch of the Yu family and the Xi family could also speak freely. In the end, I am just a crude man. If the patriarchs have anything to say. . . Just say it!"

Yu Shikun and Xi Wuyi's limelight had been stolen by Yeh Jianhan, causing their expressions to turn ugly. As soon as Bao Hong's voice faded, Xi Wuyi spoke first, "Replying to Emperor. There was a saying in the art of war. Whenever there was a siege or something like that, We need to surround and cut off grain, Bao Hong said. We need to attack the heart. This official thought that the Barbarian Army would definitely create the illusion of not making any moves to numb our army and then wait for an opportunity to cut off our water source. Immediately after that, the million strong army divided into three groups and did not attack. At that time, Before long, our army will be in a state of panic. If we don't attack, we will destroy ourselves. "

"Hmm, the Xi family Master's words are reasonable, but has the patriarch forgotten one thing? Even if the Barbarian Army can successfully cut off the water source of our army and seal off all our paths of retreat, if we don't spend a few months, we won't be able to drag our army down. Our reinforcements will arrive in less than half a month's time. If that's the case, doesn't that mean that the Barbarian Army's action is meaningless? "

Bao Hong's indifferent words immediately caused Xi Wuyi's smile to freeze on his face. He only cared about stealing the limelight. He had really neglected this fatal point. Yu Shikun was happy to see him suffer. At this moment, he said loudly, "Emperor, in this official's opinion. Compared to our army, the Barbarian Army does not have any logistical support. They also do not have any reinforcements, so they must end the battle quickly. First, we must surround the Luoan City. Second, they had to use the catapults and siege crossbows. We have attacked our army many times, causing us to be exhausted. At night, we can launch sneak attacks and use fire attacks to cover our ears. Surveying from all sides, feint attacks from three sides. One side to attack "

Compared to Xi Wuyi's brainless suggestion, Yu Shikun's analysis was clearly more reasonable and had a higher possibility of success. Bao Hong looked at Yeh Jianhan and smiled. He said: "Patriarch Yeh, what do you think?"

Yeh Jianhan thought for a moment and replied, "I think. . . Although the Yu family Master's analysis was very reliable, there were some parts that seemed to be too simple. If according to the Yu family Master's opinion, the Barbarian Army must end the battle quickly. There were three suspicious points. First, The Barbarian Army should not have delayed any action. As the saying goes, the speed of war is precious. At least, they had to surround the city first. Secondly. . . There were only two exits in Luoan City, one in front and one behind. As for the east and the west, they were both city walls. The exit in front of them had been filled with traps by Emperor. Without a doubt, the Barbarian Army would break in from the south. With that, the feint would become meaningless. Thirdly, there was a saying in the book of war. Attacking a city had a 20: 1 ratio of attack and defense. Even if the Barbarian Army can successfully hide from our eyes and ears and attack the city from the south. . . The remaining troops will not exceed 500 thousand, while our army has 600 thousand troops defending it. The Barbarian Army will not come to die for nothing. What the Yu family Master said made sense, but it was just a piece of paper. I can't take it for real. "

Yeh Jianhan's words were neither servile nor overbearing, but no one could find any reason to refute him. Bao Hong immediately smiled when he heard this. Clearly, he agreed with Yeh Jianhan. Xi Wuyi had been rejected because of his previous suggestion. He could not wait for Yu Shikun to suffer as well. Of course, he also had a slight smile on his face. Only Yu Shikun had a gloomy expression on his face. However, he had to admit that there were many unreasonable things in his words. However, this did not mean that he would swallow his anger.
