152 Where did your confidence come from?
Heishui City, Internal Affairs Coordination Department.
Originally, the place where Hei Shui City and all the internal affairs in the surrounding areas was dealt with, there was an incompatible sand table in the hall.
Except for the officials who have something to do, other people who have some free time can't help but come up to join in the fun.
This sand table was made by Lu Song, the acting city lord, in order to deduce the current situation.
After all, Yaskawa Castle is coming this time, and the army of 1,500 people is sent far more than the permanent troops currently available in Hei Shui City, which is very unfavorable for Hei Shui City.
Especially the lord Ye Xuan, who was named inspecting the people's sentiments, had been wandering around the streets of Heishui City for several consecutive days, almost always getting along with the people, as if he didn't care about the situation of the war at all.
Really so confident?
Lu Song expressed doubts about this. He has participated in dozens of wars of all sizes. Although he does not have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person, he is also a role in the central army tent and planning.
With such a huge gap in military strength, the Flying Eagle Company is not a barbarian cavalry with racial talents, so there is no advantage at all.
As far as he knows, these cavalrymen have only been three months since their establishment. Because they are located on the front line of the Great Shang Dynasty, Yasuka Castle has wars all year round, and almost all are veterans on the battlefield.
Shen Wenhao originally disagreed with the decoration of sand tables, but in the end he was impressed by Lu Song's ability.
Although Lu Song was already in his sixties, his mind was still very flexible. After all, he was one of the four great talents who became famous in the Shang Dynasty and had a strong ability to accept new things.
In just one day, Lu Song grasped the current situation in Hei Shui City.
The next day's work took only half a day to handle, and he surrounded the sand table for the rest of the time.
At first, there was only Lu Song, but later more and more officials gathered around him.
Shen Wenhao didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that since the sand table was put on, the work efficiency of the Internal Affairs Coordination Department seemed to have improved to a higher level.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think the next situation will be?"
"After I've calculated it, any situation is not good for Hei Shui City."
"What do you mean is that Yaskawa Castle troops will sooner or later come to the city?"
"Although I don't want to say that, but...ah!"
"I don't think it's possible." Shen Wenhao, who had always been just watching the wall, spoke for the first time after hearing this.
"What are the opinions of Director Shen?" Lu Song was quite acknowledged Shen Wenhao's talent, especially in dealing with internal affairs. Although he was still a little immature at present, he would definitely be a capable internal affairs minister under Ye Xuan's command in time.
"I don't know anything about Gao Jian, I just know a little."
Shen Wenhao said frankly: "The Lord has been patrolling the city leisurely for several days. From this we can see that this matter is no longer worry-free. You are in an important position and must not slack off. Just do your own thing peacefully."
The following sentence was obviously said to other officials present, and immediately attracted everyone's approval.
Lu Song didn't argue on the surface, but he was not optimistic at all. Especially when he saw Shen Wenhao and others respect Ye Xuan, it seemed more like a dangerous signal in his opinion.
If you have such blind trust, if something goes wrong, it will collapse completely. Lord, Lord, where did you get your confidence?
"Sand table?"
Suddenly, a sound came slowly, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
This sound is very familiar to them, so familiar that they don’t need to watch it. Just listening can tell who the sound belongs to.
It was their lord: Ye Xuan!
After some greetings, Ye Xuan came down next to the sand table surrounded by the officials.
He looked at the situation on the sand table. The sand castle representing the Hei Shui Castle has been heavily besieged by Yaskawa Castle troops, and all the flags representing the troops have been removed. The Hei Shui Castle is in danger!
Many officials around him saw Ye Xuan suddenly silent when he saw the sand table looking at the sand table. He suddenly felt something was wrong. He cleverly stepped back silently, and acted like he was working hard and turning a blind eye to the matter outside the window.
"It's interesting!" Ye Xuan suddenly smiled and said with a look at Lu Song.
There is no need to think too much. Now the only one who dares to put on the sand table in the Internal Affairs Coordination Department is the new official who takes office.
"Old Lu, this should be your deduction to the current situation, right?"
"That's right!" Lu Song said calmly.
"Do you think Hei Shui City will lose?"
"I have deduced it many times, but I really can't think of a way to win."
"That's how..."
Ye Xuan stroked his chin and said with a smile: "Why not have a deduction for you and me, maybe there will be new ideas!"
"Since the lord is so interested, of course I will obey." As soon as Lu Song finished speaking, he immediately walked around the sand table for a while and went directly to the other side.
This meaning is self-evident. He wants to be the army of Yaskawa Castle.
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his smile remained unchanged, and he stepped across from Lu Song. As the lord of this land, he was destined to represent the Heishui City.
Several highly eye-catching officials immediately restored the sand table to its original state.
There are 1,500 soldiers in Yaskawa Castle.
On the side of Hei Shui City, there are 120 cavalrymen in the Flying Eagle Company.
"Old Lu, respect the elderly and respect the wise, come first!" Ye Xuan raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation and said calmly.
"One thousand five hundred soldiers, five hundred are a square array, with the left and right front and back fonts echoing each other, advancing steadily, pointing directly to Heishui City."
While Lu Song said, he added two small flags to three flags, one in front and two in the back, which was the word "六". This step was regular and very stable.
"Lord, it's yours."
Ye Xuan calmly picked up the small flag representing the Feiying Company, touched the square formation in front of the other party, then pulled a little distance and fell down, looking at Lu Song and said.
"Old Lu, your thirty soldiers are gone."
"Ah, what?" Lu Song had no idea what Ye Xuan meant. It was the first time he saw this method of deduction, and he was just a mess!
Just as Lu Song was about to ask a question, Ye Xuan said naturally: "The Flying Eagle Company has 120 cavalrymen. Although they are not as good as the barbarian cavalry, they have trained soldiers with battlefield experience for several months."
"The soldiers in the square formation are relatively densely positioned. With one volley, kill one of them with four arrows. It's not an exaggeration to kill thirty of you, right?"
"This..." After hearing this, Lu Song immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say, because he felt that what Ye Xuan said seemed to make some sense.
"Old Lu, it's not good to be absent at this time, look..."
Ye Xuan once again picked up the small flag representing the Feiying Company, bypassed the front square formation, detoured from the left, and touched the left square formation again.
"How can you be distracted on the battlefield? Soldiers are very fast. Old Lu, you have no more than thirty soldiers."
Although Ye Xuan's deduction method looks like a child playing house, if you think about it carefully, this situation is not impossible.
At this moment, even those officials pretending to be doing things could not help but look at curiously.
"Lord, don't be proud. The huge gap in military strength is not so easy to make up. I just need one move..." Lu Song was obviously stimulated by Ye Xuan. He grabbed his sleeves and reached out to the sand table.
