The Cai faction members present all agreed, vowing to completely bind Zhao Huan and Chang Shengjun together.
"King Ding knows the affairs of Yizhou, and he is also the envoy of the Tiger Wing Army. It can be said that he is in charge of both military and political affairs. Now that there is trouble in Yizhou, King Ding will naturally be responsible."
"That's right. At the beginning, King Ding threatened to fight to the death with the Jin people in Yizhou. Now he has not met the Jin people. He is already in a hurry just facing the rebels such as Gao Tuoshan. How can I believe that King Ding can
Protect our country in the Song Dynasty?"
"Since the prince doesn't even pay attention to the Jin people, it is expected that it will not be difficult to deal with a small victorious army."
How could Zhao Ji fail to see that the members of the Cai faction took advantage of the opportunity to join the party and fight against dissent?
However, he did not say anything to stop him, but instead turned his attention to Zhao Huan.
"How does King Ding view this matter?"
Facing the unkind looks from around him, Zhao Huan was not afraid at all even if he was working alone.
"The matter of pacifying the Ever-Victorious Army is naturally my responsibility, no one else needs to worry about it."
Hearing Zhao Huan's extremely confident answer, Zhao Ji frowned slightly and scolded him in a bad tone.
"That's easy to say! If you were defeated, could the entire Song Dynasty be buried with you?"
"If there is a feasible way, please tell me quickly and stop pretending to be mysterious in front of me."
Since His Majesty insisted on asking the truth, Zhao Huan only gave him an explanation.
"street fighting!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Even Zhao Ji was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
After a long time, angry shouts echoed in the hall.
Not to mention Cai's party members, even those officials who were in neutral positions also criticized Zhao Huan.
"Are you kidding me? Street fighting? Do you plan to bring the enemy into the city and fight them at close range?"
"Nonsense! Even a layman can't do such a stupid thing."
"Although the Tiger Wing Army is weak in strength, as long as it sticks to the city, it can continue to deal with the Ever-Victorious Army for a long time. The longer the fight lasts, the more heavy the losses will be to the Ever-Victorious Army."
"In a tough battle, I have the advantage, but King Ding wants to exploit his shortcomings and avoid his strengths. Why?"
How could Han Mulu let go of such a good opportunity? He immediately sneered: "I have racked my brains even though I am so grateful to the official, but in the end, the prince's winning strategy turned out to be this stupid move."
"Hahaha, it's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
"According to the records in the General Military Scriptures, in a situation like this in Yizhou Prefecture, the best way is to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements. Any tactic of engaging the enemy in close combat is extremely stupid."
When Zhao Huan heard Han Mulu mention "Martial Classics General Essentials", he seemed to have heard some joke and burst into laughter.
This smile actually made the noisy hall instantly quiet.
Han Mulu frowned and said in confusion and indignation: "Why are you laughing? What's so funny!"
Zhao Huan held his stomach, took a deep breath, and then calmed down a little: "The military of the Song Dynasty is really a success and a failure."
"What a cat or dog? As long as you become an official and recite the "General Martial Arts" a few times, you will feel that you are a qualified military general."
"No wonder the Song Dynasty was harassed by foreign barbarians all the year round."
These words are a direct slap in the face of all civil servants and generals. After all, "General Martial Arts" is a required course for all officials.
Han Mulu laughed angrily: "Isn't it possible that even the "Wu Jing Zong Yao" can't catch the eye of King Ding?"
Zhao Huan smiled and said nothing. Zhao Huan's understanding of "Martial Classics General Essentials" was by no means inferior to anyone present, and he even knew it by heart.
"Wu Jing Zong Yao" was created in the first year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty. It records everything from the smallest detail to the smallest details, including the formation of troops and formations.
Its military value is even comparable to "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
It is precisely because of the existence of the "Martial Classics General Essentials" that all civil servants of the Song Dynasty were able to comment on military issues without hesitation.
It can be said that armchair tactics reached unprecedented heights in the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Huan looked at the "military researchers" present and couldn't help but sneered, and immediately refuted it.
"Understanding military common sense does not mean that you can fight, and being able to fight does not mean that you can win the war."
"The Military Classics General Essentials is just for you to understand military common sense and broaden your horizons. It is not a magical book. After reading it once, you will become an invincible general."
"I would like to ask Mr. Han, you have made a categorical assertion. If we continue to fight, I will have the advantage, and the casualties of the victorious army will become greater and greater."
"How did you know that the ever-victorious army would keep attacking?"
"Then Gao Tuoshan is your best friend. Before the battle, should I tell you all the strategic plans, or can you predict the future?"
Seeing Han Mulu hesitate and remain silent for a long time, Zhao Huan snorted coldly, his voice becoming stronger than before.
"If you want to give advice, you need to base it on facts instead of conjecture!"
"Gao Tuoshan has been active in Yizhou for a long time. He has close contacts with the former Yizhou governor and Jiedu envoy, and he knows the situation in the city well."
"This first wave of strong attacks is intended to consume the city's supplies and destroy its war potential."
"If a strong attack fails, it will turn into a siege. It only takes a few layers to surround Yizhou Prefecture with water and make it difficult for flies to fly. If the water source is polluted again, Yizhou Prefecture will have to surrender in less than a month. Even if it is
If we grit our teeth and continue to defend the city, the defenders in the city will be exhausted and their horses will be exhausted, which is just the end of their efforts."
Han Mulu still wanted to argue, but was stopped by Cai Jing.
Cai Jing frowned and looked at Zhao Huan with complex eyes. He had heard that Zhao Huan had defeated King Yun who was ten times his own in a martial arts performance at Genyue.
At first, he just thought that Zhao Huan was lucky, but when he heard Zhao Huan's remarks, Cai Jing immediately realized that this boy was by no means an easy man!
His military attainments are no less than those of the real generals present!
Cai Jing suppressed the surprise in his heart and pretended to be calm: "It is true that standing firm cannot solve the problem, but taking the initiative to open the city and engage in street fighting is really risky."
Zhao Huan had already had a strategy, so he naturally blurted out: "The purpose of street fighting is to seize the initiative and force the victorious army to fight quickly!"
"Since our army is actively seeking war and its morale is still strong, no matter how stupid Gao Tuoshan is, he will not send his second- and third-rate servant troops in to seek death."
"The elite soldiers will definitely be the vanguard and go into the city to sweep up."
"As long as our army is entangled with the soldiers of the Ever-Victorious Army, Gao Tuoshan can only continue to add fuel and jealousy to it. When the time comes, he will not be able to retreat even if he wants to."
"Didn't Your Majesty order me to quell the victorious army in one month?"
"According to this method of warfare, it won't even take a month for me to defeat the victorious army!"
quiet!
The entire hall was filled with deathly silence. Everyone thought that Zhao Huan was in dire straits, but unexpectedly, Zhao Huan actually had a chance to win.
This guy... not only is his political methods extremely tough, but his military methods are also so iron-blooded.
Is this still the good-for-nothing prince from before?!
