kingly way

Chapter 53 Chapter 053

Before the horse stopped, Lu Changshi slipped under the horse and ran straight to Yingluo. He looked at Yingluo again and again, and found that Yingluo was not injured. He finally let go of his hanging heart.

"My son, it's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine; we finally found you!"

Lu Changshi was shocked, scared and excited, he couldn't help crying, and said with a sob;

"I'm fine, let Lu Changshi worry about me."

Ying Luo looked at Lu Changshi in tears, knowing that it was Lu Changshi who cared about him, and couldn't help feeling extremely grateful.

"It's not far from the barracks here. I'll take the prince to the barracks first. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the barracks!"

Lu Changshi said while wiping away tears.

Ying Luo nodded, thinking of the dangerous situation just now, if Lu Changshi and the others hadn't arrived in time, what would have happened now?
"How dare you disrespect the son, get out of here."

Lu Changshi yelled at Lei Zhanxiong,
Seeing this situation, Lei Zhanxiong didn't dare to say more, most of the robbers didn't want to offend the government, so he waved his hand and ran away with Shi Yilan and other subordinates.
Ying Luo and his group arrived at Yingzhen Barracks in less than half a day;

In the barracks, Yingzhen is very upset about the attack on Juyong City. Duan Yingwu is his good brother. He doesn't want to see Juyong City captured by himself, and he doesn't want to see Duan Yingwu's family being overwhelmed by Jin Yuanhong copy chop,

Now his son has gone away privately, and he still doesn't know where he is, which makes him very troubled;

As soon as he saw Ying Luo, he couldn't help but feel annoyed and happy at the same time: what annoyed was that Ying Luo had secretly left the palace, if something happened to him, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he was happy that Ying Luo was safe in front of him;
"Why are you so ignorant?"

When Ying Zhen saw Lu Changshi and the others brought Ying Luo into his camp, he reprimanded him lovingly and angrily.

"Father, my child is wrong; it's just that I miss my father. My father is on the battlefield, and my child is concerned about his safety."

Ying Luo apologizes to Ying Zhen.

Ying Zhen's anger was immediately dissolved by the affection of the family. After all, although Heng'er did something reckless, it was also because he missed him, was worried about his safety, and even more so to see him.

"A military camp is different from a home. There will be danger at any time. I will arrange for Lu Changshi and a few guards to take you back to the palace tomorrow." Ying Zhen said to Ying Luo.

"I want to stay with my father in the barracks," Ying Luo said.

"No, war is not a child's play, you must go back to the Marquis Mansion." Ying Zhen said firmly.

"Father is worried that I will be in danger on the battlefield? Now we are besieging Ju State on the battlefield. Ju State is only on the defensive but not offensive, so I am not in danger in our camp."

Ying Luo looked at Ying Zhen and continued: "Didn't father always teach the child to learn to practice? Now this is the best opportunity to practice in the military. Why did the father let the child lose this opportunity? In addition, Lu Changshi and A few guards are guarding me, my child is safe in the barracks."

Ying Zhen looked at Ying Luo, he felt that Ying Luo's analysis made sense, thought for a while, and nodded;

"The military camp is not in the palace. Since you want to stay in the military camp, you have to abide by the discipline of the military camp. Otherwise, I will deal with it according to the military order. I will arrange Lu Changshi and General Ding to supervise you." Ying Zhen's expression said seriously.

Ying Zhen also thought about it clearly. Now that the child has matured, let him experience military life in the military camp, which may be beneficial to him in the future;
Ying Luo responded happily: It seems that this time it was not in vain.

……

The night in the barracks is silent;
Most of the soldiers, except for the sentries, have already fallen asleep after a tiring day;
The little bugs also dared to make a '咻咻' chirping sound;
Ying Luo walked out of the tent. He saw that Ying Zhen's tent was still lit; he walked slowly to Ying Zhen's tent, thought for a while and walked in.

Ying Luo saw Ying Zhen sitting in the middle of the tent, Wei Wugan sitting on the left, Lu Chaoyi and Song Weidian sitting on the right...

"Why haven't you slept yet? You can't run around in the barracks, have you forgotten?"

Seeing Ying Luo walking in, Ying Zhen said displeasedly.

"The child saw that the light in his father's tent was still on, and thought that if the light was on late at night, he must have not slept. If he did not sleep late at night, he must have something troublesome, so he walked in to see if he could relieve his father's worries."

Ying Luo looked at the crowd and said.

"Well, just sit on the side!"

Ying Zhen nodded in tacit agreement.

Ying Luo sat down in an empty seat next to him.

"The king of Ju, Duan Yingwu, is also a brave and resourceful man. This city has been attacked for several months and has not yet been captured."

Song Weidian gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Not only is he courageous and resourceful, but he also treats the people of Ju State very well. The people of Ju State agree with him and are willing to follow him to the death." Lu Chaoyi also said with admiration.

"I don't believe such a person would rebel." Wei Wuqian also said.

"Whether it's rebellion or not, we are not easy to say as ministers, the king ordered us to destroy Duan Yingwu, can we not come? Can we resist the order?" Lu Chaoyi said.

"Your Majesty sent us to encircle and suppress Duan Yingwu, but he asked us to provide our own troops and food; this war is over, and all our troops and financial resources will be consumed." Wei Wuqian said.

"Duan Yingwu is also brave and resourceful. He insisted on defending the city and not going to war. With the support of the whole people, there is sufficient food and grass. If we continue to consume it like this, even if we break through Juyong City, we will lose money and labor, and our soldiers will run out of food." Song Weidian said.

"At that time, if we are charged with trumped-up charges like King Ji and King Ju, our strength will be greatly damaged, and we will collapse without a fight." Wei Wugan said.

"Why are you all praising your opponent? This is not good for our war. The sooner this war ends, the better for us. But how to end this war as soon as possible?"

The last sentence of Ying Zhen seems to be full of thoughts, maybe his thoughts are not on the siege.

"In this period of heroism, we can only defend but not fight. We can't do anything for a while if we defend the city firmly." Song Weidian said.

"As the attacking party, we must have an advantage in numbers, so we also have an absolute advantage in psychology; we have to use our advantages in numbers and psychology." Ying Luo suddenly said.

"Well, although we now have the support of Beiwan and Xing, they just come here to make up the number, use it as a cover, ignore the military and do nothing, and have been consuming the strength of our Dan. In terms of military strength , We seem to be superior to the Ju army. But Duan Yingwu and his army and the people are united, making it easier to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, so there has been a situation of long-term success." Wei Wuqian said.

"So we have to take advantage of the two advantages of numbers and psychology." Ying Luo said.

Hearing Ying Luo's words, Ying Zhen remembered the game of chess with Zhao Qingyu in the palace. He knew that his Ying Luo was not only proficient in military books but also had a quick thinking that was different from ordinary people. to play;
"Well, then Luo'er will talk about how to use these two advantages." Ying Zhen nodded and said.

"First of all, we can create some rumors, we can exaggerate that we have added a lot of troops, and we will soon break through Duan Juyong City, and then spread some policies that surrenderers give preferential treatment to resisters, and some policies that favor hundreds of people, so as to distract the opponent. The army and the common people have nothing to pray for, they just want to protect themselves and their families and live an ordinary life.”

Yingluo stood up and said;

"go on".Ying Zhen seems to want to give Ying Luo a space to play freely. Instead of opposing Ying Luo's views, he encourages him.

"What is the purpose of the army and the people to defend the city together? It is nothing more than their own interests and their personal safety; if we solve their two problems, will they still be so desperate? I believe most people are afraid Those who die, let alone let their family members die. Those who are not afraid of death are because they will lose the right to maintain their lives. It is strange that they do not work hard? On the other hand, since King Ju is a wise person, he should be able to Considering the officials and the people in the city, he will not let the people die together just because the people agree with him."

"Yeah!" Ying Zhen nodded.

"If we can spread rumors to Juyong City in various ways, we can shake their morale to a certain extent. Including sneaking into Juyong City to spread rumors." Ying Luo continued.

"Haha...Your Majesty, your analysis is reasonable." Song Weidian said with a smile;

Lu Chaoyi and Wei Wugan also smiled and nodded;

"Now is the time of war, it is very difficult to sneak into Juyong City." Wei Wugan said.

"Whether it is possible to sneak into Juyong City and discuss it later, it would be the best if we can instigate some generals and officials of Ju State." Ying Luo paused and continued: "We can set up an ambush in a city that has the conditions for an ambush." The position of the gate is weak, and there is no need to deploy troops."

"Don't deploy soldiers? Isn't that to give them a chance to escape?" Wei Wugan asked.

"Yes, it is to give them a chance to escape. Our main purpose now is to occupy the city and preserve our strength. If they have no way to escape, then they will fight to the death. Even if the city is captured , We will also pay a heavy price. This is the second point I want to say." Ying Luo said.

"Your Majesty, do you want them to abandon the city and flee?" Song Weidian asked.

"Well! If they are not allowed to abandon the city and escape, then our army will enter the city and cause street fighting. We have no advantage in street fighting, because the enemy is familiar with the alleys and has the help of the residents in the city. We are not familiar with the alleys. , Even if we want to defeat them with a strong advantage in strength, we will suffer heavy losses, which is not suitable for our plan to preserve our strength." Ying Luo said.

"Well, what the prince said makes sense, but if the king knows that we deliberately let Duan Yingwu escape, wouldn't that give the king an excuse to punish him?" Wei Wuqian asked.

"We have been fighting for several months without taking down the city. This is just a tactic. Even if Duan Yingwu escapes from Ancheng, he will have nowhere to escape, because the land of Kyushu is the king's world, and the king's aspect is his. I should be clear, not to mention that once the Ju army escapes, we can still send troops to pursue them." Ying Luo said.

"Um,"

Winning nodded.

"The son's analysis is reasonable. We think this plan can be considered."

Wei Wugan, Song Weidian, and Lu Chaoyi said in unison...
