Thousands of troops and one general are here. This is the product of many artistic processes.
Real battles often end with the overlord committing suicide.
Even Zhao Zilong couldn't escape this result - of course, the real Zhao Zilong had undertaken many escort missions and had a character that was reticent but always alert. His escape routes were always planned for every place he visited.
The two ships currently owned by the Tang Army are in this general state.
On the other half of the ocean, thousands of troops and horses are watching there.
In that case...well...
It's really worth thinking about whether or not to take action this time.
After thinking for a long time, Zheng Xuannian, the counselor beside Jieli Khan, suddenly raised his hands and saluted in all directions.
Although he is the prime minister of Jieli Khan, because of Jieli Khan's current situation, he is basically a prime minister with a blank check - there is no relatively large political, economic and military entity to govern him.
Since he is an empty-headed prime minister, facing this group of people is either the elders of his family or a family with long-term friendships, or Yeon Gaisumun, the current co-leader of the group, or Jieli Khan himself, his current direct leader, of course he must be respectful.
,but……
Although Zheng Xuannian saw the hesitation in everyone's frowns, he still said firmly after saluting respectfully.
"I agree with Commander Yuan's proposal. The Tang army is currently going to Hangzhou. The number of troops it leads is unknown, but in total it only has two warships. If we take action now, we can immediately surrender two warships. Don't miss this opportunity!"
When Zheng Xuannian said this, the eyes of everyone present immediately turned to him.
but……
There is something different in these eyes.
Everyone had frowned after listening to Yeon Gaesumun's words before, but their eyes were always hesitant. This hesitant look appeared after Yeon Gaesumun said his suggestion to send troops immediately and stop as soon as possible. Therefore, the hesitation was obviously aimed at Yeon Gaesumun.
Yeon Gae Su-moon left with this suggestion.
...The reason for the hesitation is easy to understand.
For Wang Jing, Pei Ji, or the other generals of Yuan Gaisuwen, or even Jieli Khan who watched helplessly, the seizure of two ships...
Although it is also a gain, even if you think about it carefully, this is still a good and big gain.
You must know that Yeon Gaesumun's previous direct battles with the Tang army were large and small, but the two most direct battles resulted in the loss of four warships once and the loss of two anchored warships.
Now we can get two Tang Army clippers. Although they are not comparable in terms of quantity, the quality... may not be the same.
Isn't it a sure-fire business to recover the previous losses in one fell swoop?
But that being said...
In this way, if you give up the future harvest of two ships, then the previous plan will obviously have to be cancelled.
If you think about it this way, then this topic can't help but be a bit heavy. The psychological gap of giving up the previous excitement is obviously uncomfortable...
Zheng Xuannian's eyes were very firm. Obviously, he knew the psychological gap among everyone, so his words were as sonorous as gold and stone, expressing his will.
Taking risks is not advisable, stable income is the best!
but……
Wang Jing, Pei Ji, Jieli Khan, Yuan Gaisuwen and others...
After thinking for a long time, they all began to shake their heads slowly.
Zheng Xuannian's heart suddenly felt cold for some reason...
The risk has become bigger, of course it doesn’t seem that big, but I just have a bad feeling...
Soon, everyone started to speak,
Pei Ji shook his head and said with some disdain,
"A real man is born in heaven and earth. If he doesn't eat for five pots of food, he will cook for five pots of food. Is there any reason to live in peace?"
"Although it is risky to wait for the two ships of the Tang Army to return, but...how can we be timid just because of the additional risks?"
Yeon Gaesumun remained calm, but felt a little tangled in his heart.
Pei Ji said and looked away, looking at Yeon Gaesumun with a pair of eyes full of wisdom.
"General, did you come all the way here just for the sake of two ships?"
Yeon Gaesumun was stunned.
These words really broke his guard.
Damn... that's right. Why did I come all the way from Mobei to the South China Sea?
Isn't this... this just for great achievements and great cause?
When Yuan Gaisuwen thought this, Wang Jing and Jieli Khan on the side also nodded along with Pei Ji's words.
That’s right, that’s exactly what it is!
Everyone finally made up their mind and stood still.
At this time, Zheng Xuannian was a little embarrassed, after all, he was rejected by so many people. But he was still a junior, so it was normal for him to reject his proposal.
Furthermore, if we really take action now... we may not be able to get a good deal, and waiting for the Tang army to return from Hangzhou may not necessarily lead to a disadvantage...
At this time, Pei Ji saw that Zheng Xuannian seemed to still have something to say, so he smiled and continued,
"Sending troops today seems to be safer at first glance. But...well, everyone, please think about it."
When Pei Ji said this, Yeon Gaesumun and others immediately turned their eyes and became curious.
What do you mean, does this mean...does it mean that when the Tang army returns from Hangzhou, the war will go more...smoothly?
"If troops are sent out at this time, although the Tang Army only has two lone ships, the intelligence says that these two lone ships are used to transport supplies. Who knows... behind the scenes, is there a secret ambush by the Tang Army?"
"On the contrary, after returning from Hangzhou, if there are still only two ships, then it will be clear that the Tang army really only sent two ships to Hangzhou. And if you think about it..."
"The big ship departed from Zhongzuosuo Island. How many arrows and grenades were carried on the ship? No one knows this. Instead, it departed from Hangzhou. We can be sure that the ship carried a large amount of supplies and people, so it will not be heavily armed."
"If we go out by then, wouldn't the risk be smaller?"
After Pei Ji said these words, everyone was stunned for a moment, but then...
One after another, they clapped their hands and laughed, saying yes again and again!
Yeon Gae Suwen's eyes were even brighter. This Pei Ji is indeed a talent...
Emperor Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty didn't use it, which was stupid.
On the other side, Zheng Xuannian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing Pei Ji's words.
I really didn't notice such a detail, and it makes perfect sense.
That……
It seems that it is better to wait for the Tang army to return from Hangzhou before taking action...
And think about it again, the Tang Army started from the Zhongzuo Station and the Tang Army started from Hangzhou, this obviously gives the impression that the Zhongzuo Station is more powerful... then it belongs to the field army.
In the end, everyone finally finalized the decision, and even Zheng Xuannian couldn't help but nodded and agreed to the proposal.
…
Just as Yeon Gaesumun's team was discussing and making decisions on an unknown island in the outer sea, the warships of the Tang Dynasty were galloping north along the coast, heading towards Chang'an.
There, there is the official mission of this army.
