Chapter 1634 It's a good strategy to let go of the small and protect the big!
Chapter 1634 It’s a good idea to sacrifice the small to protect the big!
In a nearby city of Jin State.
The barracks was already in a state of panic with people on their backs.
"General, the deputy general was captured alive this time. If you don't care, you will only help the Qi army's prestige!"
"Yes, the dignified deputy general has been arrested. If His Majesty in the capital knows about this, he will be judged as incompetent!"
Several military advisors and generals surrounded the young general and kept persuading him.
The general listened with a cold, refined face.
He was wearing white clothes, and there was no hint of the rudeness of a military general. Instead, he exuded a noble scholarly air.
The figure is as handsome as bamboo, and the eyes are as cold and shining as streams.
Faced with a few people chattering incessantly.
The young general said coldly: "I have warned him long ago not to act rashly."
"Now that he's been arrested, doesn't he deserve it? What's the difference between asking me to rescue him now and handing over the city to Marquis Yongye?"
The military advisors and generals looked at each other: "This..."
It’s even more impossible not to save him!
That Huang Tong is the queen’s nephew!
At this moment, the voice of the scout came from outside the camp——
"Report~!"
"General, Qi Jun has sent someone to deliver a message!"
The detective quickly handed a roll of paper to the general with both hands.
Waiting to expand and take a look.
Then he saw the letter saying that Marquis Yong Ye was willing to send Huang Tong back.
Several generals breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately! What conditions did Marquis Yong Ye impose? As long as they are not excessive, we can satisfy them in exchange for Deputy General Huang!"
Look further down.
The young general suddenly frowned.
The military advisor was surprised: "They actually want three granaries in exchange? Isn't Marquis Yongye stupid?"
After all, the nearby city is backed by the capital of Jin.
Food is not yet in constant supply.
Even if we give them three granaries, what's the harm?
The general slapped the paper on the table and made his decision immediately.
"Absolutely not."
The generals said anxiously: "Why not? General, as long as you give us three granaries, you can get Deputy General Huang back!"
Half of the young general's face was hidden in the shadow of the light.
His tone was calm: "Do you think that since the city is close to the capital, everything will be absolutely fine?"
"It's going to snow soon, and the waterways used to transport food in the capital may freeze. Then there won't be enough food and grass in the city, so how can we fight against it!"
"There are only five granaries in the city now. If we give them food from three more granaries, wouldn't it be supporting the enemy's army and actually helping them survive!"
"When the time comes, we will be trapped like a cage, waiting to die?"
Several generals shook their heads.
"The general is wrong. Even if it snows every year, the mountains and rivers will not be frozen. At least the Benjiang River behind the city will not be frozen until after the Chinese New Year!"
"Saving the small and protecting the big is the best policy!"
The general heard this and smiled coldly: "Vice General Huang has been with the army so far and has made no achievements. Even in small-scale battles, he will be defeated miserably."
"Several generals are afraid of the queen's power, and regard useless people like Huang Tong as more important than the nearby city!"
"Today, I leave my words here. Huang Tong's life and death are at the discretion of the people of Qi."
"Since the Emperor has ordered me to take command, I have the responsibility to guard this gate near the city! It is useless to persuade anyone."
The military advisor had a depressed face and wanted to persuade: "General..."
Just at this moment, the cook came in carrying two buckets of rice.
The young general issued an even more severe order to expel the guests.
Then we started eating.
Several generals and military advisors had no choice but to retire and leave the camp.
But not far away, the detective who had just reported the news caught up with him again.
"Master Military Advisor! I also have a piece of paper here, which Vice General Huang ordered to leave for you alone."
"The deputy general guessed that the general had always been at odds with him and would definitely not agree to save him. Therefore, I left a trick for you to take a look at."
The military advisor quickly opened the paper and checked it.
I saw just a few words written on it——
"One for one."
He was shocked in his eyes, but then, his calculating eyes couldn't help but look towards the tent.
