Yang Xiu said a lot, but the purpose was nothing more than what Liu Xie said, but he analyzed it in more detail so that everyone could understand it.
The bottom line is: the situation has changed. Not only are Li Jue and Guo Si not as strong as before, they also have no determination to fight to the death. As long as they can hold out for ten and a half days, they will inevitably retreat.
How to build a strong line of defense becomes the key to victory.
This line of defense is not only geographical, but also psychological.
If they don't have the confidence to win, even if they are given a ready-made defense line, they may not have the confidence to hold it.
What's more, they still need to build this line of defense.
After learning that there was no need to fight in the field with the Xiliang soldiers and that they only needed to hold their positions, everyone including Dong Cheng felt much more relaxed, and their thoughts became more vivid.
Liu Xie took advantage of the situation and asked Yang Xiu to take out the map, brainstorm ideas, and discuss plans to build a position.
Although the real positions still need to be inspected on the spot, talking about the soldiers on paper first can not only relieve tension, but also give you an overall idea. When it comes to the actual battlefield, not everyone can keep the overall situation in mind.
Most people are still limited to what they see in front of them.
These people are not elites, but after all, they have been in the army for many years, and their practical experience is by no means comparable to that of Liu Xie and Yang Xiu. They have not only fought with the Xiliang soldiers, but also fought side by side with the Xiliang soldiers. They have no idea about the combat power and fighting methods of the Xiliang queen.
Familiar with it, you will know better how to save your life.
After the discussion, Dong Cheng not only no longer looked desperate, he even had the illusion that I could do it again.
Several captains, Sima, after all, are generals who have to go to the front line in person. The risk factor is higher and they are more rational. After carefully analyzing the situation, they unanimously pointed out one problem: food.
Everyone knew very well that the emperor escaped from Chang'an all the way without a grain of food on him, so he relied on supplies along the way, and now he relied on Duan Xuan to support him. Once Duan Su cut off the supply, they would starve immediately.
So Yang Feng and Yang Ding shouted to attack Duan Xuan, but Dong Cheng kept his troops stationary.
It's okay to just keep shouting, but if he really wants to kill himself, Dong Cheng is not that stupid.
Liu Xie took advantage of the situation and proposed a plan: In addition to the women, children, and other family members in the camp who could serve as auxiliaries, all other family members in the camp were transferred to the imperial camp. A one-meal-a-day supply system was implemented to save food as much as possible to supply the soldiers and ensure that the soldiers had enough food.
Physical combat.
Liu Xie said that he will lead by example and eat one meal a day.
Although few people believed that Liu Xie would really only eat one meal a day, Liu Xie's statement like this still won the support of many people. Dong Cheng was the first to express his willingness to send his wife and daughter to the imperial camp, and he would travel lightly to fight with Li Jue.
Guo Si fought to the death.
Others also expressed their support for Liu Xie's decision.
——
In the evening, Liu Xie returned to the imperial camp.
After Fu went outside the tent to greet him, he saw Dong Wan following closely behind Liu Xie, talking and laughing with Liu Xie, and he couldn't help but be startled.
"Your Majesty, this is..."
Liu Xie said: "The war is about to begin. General Anji and his generals will fight with all their strength. The family members in the camp will be concentrated in the imperial camp. Awan will move here for a while. The Queen will make arrangements."
After Fu finished listening, he thought for a moment and said, "Then... I will discuss with Lord Song to see if she can live with Sister Dong over there."
Dong Wan wrinkled her nose and was about to speak, but Liu Xie calmly waved his hand to signal her not to speak. Dong Wan saw this and closed his mouth, but still turned his head to the side, pretending to appreciate the scenery.
"Not only are the family members from General Anji's camp coming, but there may also be other people. Let's squeeze in as much as possible, set up a small tent next to the imperial tent, and let the nobles of Song move here too."
Fu Shou was caught off guard and a little panicked.
"The Queen's mother honors the world, and these family members have to work hard for the Queen." Liu Xie turned to Dong Wan and said: "Awan, you are familiar with those people, and you need to work with Song Guiren to assist the Queen and find ways to settle these people so that they can
The soldiers have no worries and will fight with all their strength."
Dong Wan responded obediently and saluted Fu Shou again.
Seeing this, Fu Shou didn't say much, so he had to agree. Just as she was about to turn around and make arrangements, Liu Xie stopped her again.
"I have a plan and want to discuss it with the Queen."
Fu Shou was not in a high mood and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has an edict, how dare I disobey it?"
"There are some children in General Anji's camp who have reached the age of initiation. I plan to ask Zhi Jinwu to initiate enlightenment for them. Does the queen think it is feasible? The Fu family has been teaching scriptures for four hundred years, and it should be more than enough to teach a few enlightenment children. Of course, Zhi Jinwu
Kingo is only a teacher in name only, responsible for management, and the specific teaching work is undertaken by the Confucian students."
Fu Shou raised his head, glanced at Liu Xie, and nodded. "I am under the imperial edict."
Looking at Fu Shou's back, Dong Wan curled his lips and whispered: "Stingy miser, your Majesty is not yours alone."
"A Wan, don't be rude." Liu Xie glared at Dong Wan and shook his head gently.
Dong Wan snorted, reluctantly, with a pout that could tie up a donkey.
Liu Xie had a headache.
Fu Shou is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Dong Wan is also a troublemaker. Can his life be peaceful in the future?
He stood on the edge of the plateau and was lost in thought for a while. Suddenly he saw a familiar figure walking in the camp below the plateau. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart and had an idea.
Not sure if she had a tacit understanding, Tang Ji raised her head and looked at the top of the plateau, where she saw Liu Xie standing with his hands behind his back, with the sunset sky behind him, feeling a sense of loneliness and independence from the world.
Tang Ji couldn't help but take a second look.
Then, she saw another figure appearing next to the emperor, it was Queen Fuwan.
Tang Ji felt inexplicably uneasy, looked away, turned around and got into the tent.
After a while, a palace maid came to see her and conveyed the Queen's decree, asking Mrs. Hongnong Wang to move to the plateau temporarily. After Tang Ji asked the whole story, she knew that a war was imminent and the emperor had an edict to move the family members of Anji General Dong Cheng's camp.
Come to the imperial camp. In order to make room for those people, not only her, but also the families of the ministers have to move to the plain.
Tang Ji originally wanted to wait and move in with the others tomorrow, but the palace maid said that the queen had already arranged a tent and hoped that she could move in as soon as possible, and it would be best to have dinner together.
Tang Ji had no choice but to clean up briefly and follow the palace maid to the plain.
When they arrived at the imperial tent, the palace maid went in first to report. Fu Shou came out and personally led Tang Ji to the prepared tent.
"Queen, I can't help you, I can't bear it." Tang Ji felt uneasy and quickly stopped her.
Fushou smiled. "Madam, you don't have to be like this. Princess Wannian unfortunately died young, and King Hongnong was killed by a traitor. Madam is your majesty's only relative, so she should be different. If you kiss the virtuous and virtuous, you can't even settle down with your wife."
Okay, how can I behave like a mother to the world? Madam, I am young and ignorant, if I do something inappropriate, please feel free to correct me."
Tang Ji glanced at Fu Shou, feeling confused.
Fu Shou was not like this in the past. What happened? What did His Majesty say to her?
