After the edict was announced, the eunuch who had received the hard-earned money led the guards and left with a smile on their faces.
Seven characters suddenly appeared in Di Xin's mind: All times come together, heaven and earth work together.
To put it bluntly, luck can't be stopped even if it comes.
After throwing the rerolled imperial edict into a rifle for him to keep, Di Xin turned around and returned to the conference hall.
After An Junshan and all the generals came in one after another, Di Xin stunned everyone with one sentence: "Everyone, I have a plan to retreat the Turkic army."
Can retreat the Turkic army!
Everyone, including those in Anjun Mountain, thought that Emperor Xin would issue an order to suspend caravan traffic and prepare for war with all their strength, and they were even prepared for this.
No one thought that just by going out and receiving an imperial edict, His Highness King Yu would have a strategy to retreat from the enemy.
Whether it is a good policy still needs to be discussed, but at least there is some hope.
All the generals surrounding the sand table showed expectant looks. No one likes to fight a battle that does not benefit them at all, even An Junshan, who is called "madman", is like this.
"Your Highness, I wonder what a good idea is?"
The first person to lose his composure was a middle-aged general. Although the others did not speak, their fiery eyes also revealed the same meaning.
Di Xin asked back: "My lords, what is the fundamental reason for the Turks' invasion of our country?"
Turks have invaded the Dali border countless times, and the reasons each time are different. But if we look specifically at the upcoming war, then there is only one fundamental reason, and that is...
"food."
Many people blurted out these two words.
"That's right."
Di Xin nodded and said: "The Turks lost 20,000 troops in the past few days, and the largest Ashina tribe was seriously injured. Therefore, they are actually more anxious to recuperate than us, and are less willing to go to war than us."
"But they still did it. The reason was that they didn't have enough food to survive the winter, so they had to go to war."
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So what if we take the initiative to send them the food they urgently need!"
"Not allowed, Your Highness."
"Absolutely not."
"No……"
As soon as Di Xin finished speaking, the expressions of almost all the generals changed drastically, and the ones with the most impatient personalities subconsciously objected, completely ignoring Di Xin's current status.
"Your Highness, the Turks are all white-eyed wolves who cannot get enough to eat. If we take the initiative to send food, it will make them think that I am weak and can be bullied, and it will only encourage their arrogance. Therefore, we must not act like this."
Anjunshan only regarded Emperor Xin as a genius, but after all he didn't know much about Turks, so he tried to persuade him earnestly.
"Commander Andu is right."
"Yes, the Turks are so ambitious, how can they retreat after getting the food..."
"You must never start an attack on your enemy!"
…
The generals spoke in all kinds of ways, but they all expressed the same idea, which was to oppose Emperor Xin's suggestion and resolutely not to take the initiative to send food to the Turks and encourage the enemy's arrogance.
Di Xin's expression remained unchanged, and after everyone calmed down, he said with a smile but not a smile: "What if we don't send food to all the tribes!"
"That's not even..."
An Junshan was about to object but suddenly froze: "It's not about sending food to all tribes. Your Highness means..."
He vaguely grasped something, but he always felt that there was still a layer of window paper that had not been pierced.
Di Xin was the one who broke through this layer of window paper: "Except for the Ashina tribe, the other tribes actually had no need to attack Yanque Pass. They were threatened by the Ashina tribe and worried about their own food.
Soldiers who were forced to send out their troops after being robbed and unable to survive the winter."
An Junshan's eyes gradually brightened: "So we have to give enough food to those small tribes, so that even if they are forced to donate a certain amount of food to the Ashina tribe, the remaining food can survive this winter safely.
"
"Then why not just give it to Ashinabe?"
The young general who had made suggestions before asked doubtfully.
"The Ashina tribe is the largest tribe in the Turks, and it is also the only tribe that is short of food. There is no difference between sending food directly to the Ashina tribe and sending food to all tribes. Therefore, food can only be given to those small tribes.
."
An Junshan shook his head and explained: "The Turks are greedy. After the Ashina tribe discovered that there was a lot of extra food among the small tribes, they would definitely force them to hand over the food except for the winter."
"Being forced to hand over food will inevitably increase the conflicts among the Turkic tribes, and gaps will inevitably arise between the Turkic coalition forces. This is one of them."
"Secondly, due to the strength of the Ashina tribe, those small tribes will inevitably hand over food, but as mentioned just now, the remaining food is enough for them to survive this winter. Naturally, they will not replace Ashina at this time.
The troops are working hard, and if they feel resentful, they will most likely choose to retreat."
"Thirdly, after the Ashina tribe got the food, there was no urgent crisis. Their vitality was severely weakened. After other tribes retreated one after another, their only option was to retreat."
Seeing that all the generals had thoughtful expressions, An Junshan smiled and said: "Of course, the tribes chosen are also particular."
"First of all, it cannot be too strong. The tribes that are close to it are not that afraid of the Ashina tribe. Giving them food is a waste; secondly, it cannot be too weak. At least it cannot be easily wiped out by the Ashina tribe. Otherwise, Ashina tribe
That department can also use genocide to endanger them all."
"Therefore, we have to choose a tribe that is not that powerful, but will not be wiped out by the Ashina tribe who have suffered heavy losses now. Only such tribes will have the courage to retreat after getting food."
Di Xin glanced at the eloquent An Junshan with satisfaction. He was really smart in his position as a commander. He just clicked on An Junshan and still basically deduced his strategy.
The generals who listened to An Junshan's explanation also suddenly understood.
"This is a good idea."
"Although it is suspected of supporting the enemy, it is worth using."
"Your Highness, this is a wonderful plan!"
"In addition to making the Turks retreat, the best thing is to further intensify the conflicts among the Turkic tribes. Not only this time, it will also be more difficult for someone to lobby the tribes to unite in the future. Even if the union is successful, it will be unified to handle the conflicts between the various armies.
Conflicts will also consume a lot of energy, thus affecting the strength of the coalition forces."
…
Everyone lost their sense of disappointment and started discussing happily, and a few anxious people had already begun to discuss which tribes to send food to.
For a time, the entire conference hall became lively.
