Prosperous advisors

Chapter 700: Mu Xiang’s Advice (2)
The atmosphere in the big tent was strangely harmonious and condensed at the same time, but outside the big tent, the general's tent was full of storms.The two consecutive days of blows made the generals who had been a little swayed for a short time suddenly fall from mid-air, and fell to their faces with a slap.

Kai Yang leaned lazily in his chair and asked, "Everyone still has four days, what do you think?"

"Kaiyang, what do you think?" A general looked at Kaiyang and asked.

Kai Yang shrugged, "I have cavalry under my command, Guan Zongping refuses to go out of the city to fight, what can I think?"

"Let's scold him hard? If you don't believe me, you won't be able to scold him!" someone suggested.

Huo Yuanfang frowned and thought about it, and said sincerely: "I think... I really can't scold him. That Guan Zongping, it seems that he doesn't care how you scold him. It's strange that such a person can scold him Huo Yuanfang really didn't think this move would be of any use to Guan Zongping.

"How about a night attack?" A young general's eyes lit up.

Kai Yang shook his head and said: "Guan Zongping is a generation of famous generals, he must be very careful with tens of thousands of people in this small Cangshui City, won't he be wary of our night attack?"

"This won't work, that won't work, so what should we do? Five days is not a long time, and it will pass in a blink of an eye." Everyone felt a little anxious.At this moment, they lost all arrogance, but facing such a place where they were huddled in the city and refused to move, aggressive methods would not work.The generals who had always been good at attacking cities and land were helpless.

"Then attack directly! Let's see how long he can last?"

"Don't be stupid, if you attack by force, why would your Majesty bet with us? The Cangshui is a little small, but the place is too small for our 30 troops to pull out all of them. Even if it is an uninterrupted attack, it will not take ten days and a half months." It's hard to say." Someone immediately retorted.

Everyone looked at each other and sighed.Kai Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we ask Mu Xiang what can we do?"

Everyone was stunned, and doubted: "Mu Xiang is a woman after all, and it's fine if she can handle the government affairs. What's the use of asking her about the war?"

Kai Yang shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case, Mu Xiang may be really not good at dispatching troops, but...maybe he can help us think of a way?"

After a long silence, everyone looked at each other, and finally reached an agreement: now we can only treat dead horses as living horse doctors.

Just after Mu Qingyi was out of the war, Kai Yang and Huo Yuanfang sneakily dragged her away.

"What is this for?" Some helplessly letting them drag him away, Kai Yang still carefully glanced at the large tent not far behind him, and said in a low voice, "Mu Xiang, please ask for something." Pointing behind him The big tent, signaled not to let His Majesty know.

Mu Qingyi couldn't help lowering her head and grinning, and followed the two away from Rong Jin's big tent.

After entering Kaiyang's tent, several generals who were waiting in the tent hurriedly greeted them, "The last general will see Prime Minister Mu." Mu Qingyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Why are you all here?"

Kai Yang smiled and said: "This... the last general will ask Mu Xiang for help when he has something to do."

Mu Qingyi took a sip of the tea brought by Huo Yuanfang himself on the table, and said with a light smile, "If you want to ask His Majesty for more time, then you don't have to. Your Majesty's golden words will never change."

Kai Yang smiled wryly, and said: "The last general doesn't dare. It's just... I just want to ask Mu Xiang to see if he can think of any way for us to take Cangshui City. Mu Xiang is extremely talented, and he will definitely find a way."

Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows lightly, and said lightly, "Don't give me a high opinion. Guan Zongping is a master of military affairs in this world. Where do you come from to think that I can compare with him?"

Everyone suddenly lost face: Why does Your Majesty think that we can conquer Cangshui within five days?In fact, His Majesty wants to clean us up on purpose, right?
"I also ask Mu Xiang to help, no matter whether it is successful or not... the last general will be grateful." Kai Yang said unwillingly, and everyone nodded in unison.

Mu Qingyi tilted her head and looked at the crowd, only to see that a few of them had pale faces.He couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, these people were really too tender, it's no wonder Rong Jin wanted to torture them like this.It has only been two days since I arrived in Cangshui. Although I have encountered difficulties, but such a short period of time has changed from being full of confidence to being so listless now, it can be seen that these people's hearts still need to be tempered.Otherwise, such an army whose morale is high when it wins a battle, and sluggish when it loses a battle, can really be called vulnerable.It was right for Rong Jin to choose Hua Guo to train troops first. If Xiyue started a war with the Northern Han now, at least their army along the way would definitely not be the opponent of the Northern Han army.

Sighing slightly, Mu Qingyi said, "Do you know why His Majesty insisted on asking you to attack the city? But he himself refused to come forward?"

Everyone looked puzzled, and Huo Yuanfang asked suspiciously: "Could it be that His Majesty has some other secret arrangements?" No wonder Huo Yuanfang thought so, in Huo Yuanfang's mind Rong Jin is synonymous with despicable, cunning and insidious. It is perfectly normal to use them to confuse Guan Zongping on the surface, and to do some shady deeds secretly.

Mu Qingyi shook her head, "This time, it's really just you. So...you have to work hard on your own."

"Then...why is Your Majesty?" Someone asked cautiously.After all, there was an agreement with the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty. It would be bad if they arrived at the Imperial City of Dahua Kingdom one step later than King Lie of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Mu Qingyi sighed and said, "You guys have traveled so smoothly, don't you feel a little...feeling that you are number one in the world. How do you feel when you are suddenly defeated in this small city of Cangshui?"

Everyone was shocked, and their faces were a little more ashamed.Almost all of them are on the battlefield for the first time, and the journey has been incredibly smooth.But how much of this is based on their own strategy?And what Mu Xiang said was not bad, almost everyone felt a kind of arrogance that Lao Tzu was number one in the world because of the successive victories.Until... defeat in front of Cangshui City.

"Mu Xiang...we..." Kai Yang lowered his head in shame.Compared with these generals, he was the first to follow His Majesty.Although he had never been on the battlefield, the cavalry in Tianque City were all trained by him.It has been useless before, but during this period of time, it is a bit carried away.

Mu Qingyi said softly: "You are all still young, so it's okay to be a little arrogant. But the army that can truly become an elite soldier in a hundred battles is undoubtedly not able to survive the baptism of blood and failure. If you have a small setback, you will be helpless, so you should stop thinking about fighting as soon as possible and go back to Xiyue."

"Thank you Mu Xiang for your teaching." Everyone stood up and cupped their hands.All the Angzang men couldn't help blushing.Each of them was much older than Mu Qingyi, but Mu Xiang had to tell them these principles that should be easy to understand.How can they not feel ashamed, and how can there be half a point of pride and complacency in their hearts.
