Chapter 326 The Thoughts of Mian Yue Coincided with Mine

In the dark of the night, although there was a bonfire, it was difficult to see the face of the opposite side, but Ji Xun who came out to inspect still saw Su Mianyue at once.

She was standing in front of the tent in her army uniform, with her beautiful black hair scattered behind her, and her slender body could be blown away by the wind at any time.

Su Mianyue couldn't bear to disturb her. Su Mianyue was looking at Imperial Capital, the Hengyuan. Ji Xun knew that Su Mianyue's mood must be very complicated at the moment. Even if she didn't change her mind about revenge, the feelings that su mianyue had given in the first place were sincere. Even if she hated him deeply, she couldn't disappear completely.

Standing less than ten meters away, the two of them returned to their tents only after dawn. Su Mianyue did not know that Ji Xun had accompanied her in the cold wind all night.

The next day, Wu Yu' e asked Ji Xun to resign and explore the road ahead. When she saw the scar on Wu Yu' e's face, Ji Xun did not ask, but nodded and agreed to her request.

The army was once again on the territory of the former hengyuan kingdom, but the Tianlan had occupied these cities for a period of time. Not only were the local people's lives not disrupted, but they were also rescued by the Tianlan. As the people saw the army of the former hengyuan, they were not afraid. Instead, one by one, they lamented that the Tianlan army had better conquer a few more cities, so that those people would have a way to live. It was obvious that the Hengyuan was not popular.

Finally, they came to Linzhou City. Shangguan Pei ordered the army to garrison outside the city. The two nearby cities had been conquered, but Jianzhou City was not easy to conquer. This was the real stronghold of the Hengyuan, not only heavily guarded but also a natural barrier. It would have to pay a huge price to conquer Jianzhou City.

In the grand marshal's account, Ji Xun and Su Mianyue sat at the bottom of the table. Shangguan Pei looked at the sand table being laid out and studied the location of Jianzhou City's fields during the last battle. However, when Shangguan Pei had an accident, the Hengyuan's counterattack put the war on hold. This time, he had to take Jianzhou City down.

"Although Jianzhou City is surrounded by mountains and water, the cities on both sides of Jianzhou City do not have that kind of barrier. Why not take down these two cities first, then spare jianzhou city to attack other cities. As long as Jianzhou City is isolated, it will be able to break down sooner or later, right?" Along the way, Su Mianyue was also involved in the military, and when he helped Wanyan Lin, he had a certain understanding of the terrain of hengyuan country, even in some aspects more thorough than Shangguan Pei.

In the past, Su Mianyue did not say that there was no war, but now war is inevitable, so try to reduce casualties.

Shangguan Pei's eyes lit up and turned to look at Ji Xun, "Mianyue's idea coincides with mine. What does the military advisor think of this method?"

Ji Xun poured a glass of wine and smelled it. He was the only one in the camp who drank without restriction, but did not reply immediately. Instead, he came to Shangguan Pei with his glass and took a sip.

Puzzled by Ji Xun's actions, Shangguan Pei asked, "Does the military advisor think this method doesn't work?"

"No." Ji Xun shook his head and pointed at jianzhou city with his fair but scarred fingers, "Although Jianzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it's not that there's no way to win. It's just that it's not easy to win Jianzhou City in one fell swoop, but it's also necessary to prepare for huge casualties. If it's fast, it'll take a year or three years before it can be conquered."

Shangguan Pei nodded. Marching and fighting was never an easy feat. He was prepared to stay here for a long time. The reason why he didn't make the final tactical decision was to avoid heavy casualties.

"Over the past three years, the government will have to work hard on military supplies, and after the conquest of Jianzhou City, it will also have to slow down the interest rate to continue to attack the Hengyuan. However, if the heart of the small state-owned wolves surrounding the Tianlan is in this period, it will be difficult for the army to turn around and support it, and the gains will not be worth the losses." Ji Xun knew that Shangguan Pei had already considered this, and he explained it to Su Mianyue for fear that she knew too little about the military.

Hearing this, Su Mianyue came forward, his slender fingertips landed on both sides of jianzhou city and said, "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be safer to attack the city on both sides first?"

Ji Xun shook his head again and smiled, "As you said, Jianzhou City can be conquered with the least casualties, but every city will be consumed a lot, and the soldiers of Jianzhou City will not ignore it. Once they make use of the terrain to help secretly, our army will be attacked from head to toe. Even if we can conquer the city, it will be a terrible victory."

Shangguan Pei nodded, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. No matter which city we attack first, Jianzhou City will not sit idly by for its own safety. Although the Tianlan is the most powerful country, the main military force will move to this area. I'm afraid that the surrounding small parliament will want a piece of the pie. The Tianlan will not be in danger, but they will lose a lot. Even if we take down the Tianlan, it will not be a real victory."

Su Mianyue was a little silent. She knew a little bit about the art of war, but it was only used on the battleground between the two armies. After all, she had read too many books in her previous life, and if she could win a war, she would care what kind of tricks you used.

However, the overall situation was still slightly inappropriate, which gave Su Mianyue a chance to learn.

"Mu Tinng sent you on a mission. Didn't you think about that?" Su Mianyue was a little confused. As an emperor, he should have a bigger picture. "Even if he doesn't understand, you should have reminded him, right?"

"He had considered these things, but to the upper echelons, the expansion of the territory was more important. In the history of the qing dynasty, he would only exaggerate and record how the emperor opened up the territory and expanded the territory, but he would not focus on describing some trivial things." Ji Xun said with slight mockery.

Looking up at Ji Xun, Su Mianyue couldn't say anything when he looked calm. He couldn't ask ji xun if he would do the same in front of Shangguan Pei. As a modern man, Su Mianyue couldn't understand this kind of thinking, but he knew that he couldn't change the thoughts of these people.

Even Kangxi, the emperor of the ages, would sacrifice some people's lives and well-being in the overall situation. Su Mianyue could not comment on the rights and wrongs of others. She just wanted to avenge herself and the su family.

After the three of them were silent for a while, Su Mianyue suddenly remembered something that happened when she helped Wanyan Lin, but she never had time to tell Wanyan Lin.

He pointed to the city of Huizhou on the left of Jianzhou City and said, "We can attack Huizhou City first. The general soldier stationed in Huizhou City is a very greedy man. As long as General Shangguan can guarantee that he won't lose his power and have a great reward after attacking the city of Huizhou, he may open the city gate to welcome the Tianlan army. Even if he wanted to fight, he was not afraid. In order to enrich himself, the weapons of the Huizhou City soldiers were hollow, and even their armor was adulterated, so they would win with the smallest loss."

Shangguan Pei and Ji Xun looked at each other. They didn't know what was going on in Huizhou, but since Su Mianyue had said it, they would naturally believe it. Shangguan Pei immediately decided, "Okay, take Huizhou City first."

Ji Xun did not express his opinion, but looked at Su Mianyue with a complicated look, afraid that Su Mianyue would be unhappy, but when he saw Su Mianyue's bright eyes, he knew he was worried, and his heart could finally be put back in its original place.
