"I really don't know what's there to discuss. Can't we just fight our way over?" Yuan Xin lost his patience when he heard that there was no progress after an hour of discussion. "No matter how we challenge them, those bastards from Cangzhou don't respond. They were all scared out of their wits, so why would they take the initiative to come out? If they don't want to fight, can't we fight them? "
Yuan Xin did not deliberately suppress his voice, so everyone in the tent could hear him.
Huang Song looked embarrassed, and he looked a little embarrassed.
The generals under his command were impulsive and reckless, which made him lose face as well. Moreover, Yuan Xin was his uncle from the same clan, so he had no choice but to help clean up after him.
Jiang Pengji wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "That's true. The general guarding Hanchang Pass is afraid of the military strength of the two families, so he doesn't come out. They have the Danger Pass to rely on, so they naturally aren't afraid. But we can't afford to drag this on. However, the Great Cold Mountain Pass is easy to defend and hard to attack. If the two clans take the initiative to send out their troops, they will fall right into the enemy's trap. Who knows how much of a price they will have to pay to attack such a dangerous pass. "
Yuan Xin was secretly warned by Huang Song. He still felt a little guilty, but he didn't expect Jiang Pengji to stand up for him.
However, even though Jiang Pengji tried to smooth things over, Yuan Xin did not stop while he was ahead.
His personality was very stubborn, and he would not easily change his instincts.
Yuan Xin did not have a good impression on Jiang Pengji. Even if she was magnanimous and forgave him, he would not be grateful. Instead, he felt that Jiang Pengji's temper was too soft and easy to manipulate. Yes, yes, yes. This was probably what it meant to be a kind person would be bullied and a kind horse would be ridden.
For the sake of Huang Song, Jiang Pengji did not argue with Yuan Xin, but Yuan Xin refused to quit while he was ahead.
"Hehe, who doesn't know these principles? Although I am old, I am not deaf. I still remember what the advisors have said. " Yuan Xin said with some arrogance, "Though Cold Chang Pass is a dangerous pass that is easy to defend and hard to attack, it is not impregnable. To take down Hanchang Pass, we naturally have to rely on the hard work of the soldiers. We can't just rely on a few people moving their mouths and the Hanchang Pass will change hands … "
Although Jiang Pengji was fighting in an away game, Huang Song wanted to express his respect for her. The entire military meeting was led by Jiang Pengji.
The strategists who spoke just now were basically people on Jiang Pengji's side.
Yuan Xin's words were no different from a slap in the face.
Huang Song's face darkened.
He knew that this uncle of his had a bad temper, but he didn't expect him to go crazy regardless of the situation.
Little did they know that Yuan Xin couldn't stand it either.
Hede County was a territory under Huang Song's rule. Huang Song had to endure the indignation of allowing others to dictate what to do in his own territory and enjoy the limelight.
Jiang Pengji smiled faintly and looked at Yuan Xin coldly.
Yuan Xin felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze, as if an evil chill had spread from his feet to his brain, calming him down quite a bit.
He thought that Jiang Pengji would fly into a rage, but she turned around and asked Huang Song.
"Bogao, can you introduce this warrior to me?"
Huang Song's heart thumped, but he didn't dare to speak up for Yuan Xin.
In this situation, he vaguely felt that he had returned to a few years ago. He was still shrouded in the shadow of Jiang Pengji's violence.
"He is Yuanxin, Song's uncle. He is loyal and upright, but his actions are a bit reckless and impulsive. He still needs more tempering."
Jiang Pengji teased him with a smile. "He has a good personality, but he offends people easily. Bogao, you haven't had an easy time all these years."
In her opinion, the lord was like the head of a kindergarten. Her subordinates were all problematic children, and Yuan Xin was the one with the worst temper.
"It really hasn't been easy." Huang Song laughed bitterly and self-deprecatingly said, "I only hope that he hasn't offended Lanting too much."
From such a familiar tone, everyone knew that the two of them were very close in private.
Yuan Xin had offended so many people, but they could still talk and laugh. How could their relationship not be good?
Jiang Pengji smiled and winked at Huang Song.
"I wouldn't go so far as to offend him too much," Jiang Pengji said. "In the past, the imperial court valued literature and restrained the military. How many men from the Wu family were like delicate, beautiful women? If the soldiers at the border were like Captain Yuan Xin, how would the motley crew of the northern borderline dare to attack the border? "
In her opinion, the civil officials were the brains and knees of the country, while the military generals were the backbone of the country. Both were equally important.
She spent years training an army that was full of courage, but there were not many generals who satisfied her.
Yuan Xin was indeed hot-tempered. If he hadn't offended her, Jiang Pengji would have admired him.
Of course —
She would get back at him for what he had done today.
Huang Song secretly heaved a sigh of relief and followed Jiang Pengji's lead to divert the original topic.
Yuan Xin felt like he had punched cotton. He didn't feel good. Throughout the meeting, he was somewhat silent.
Without Yuan Xin's interruptions, everyone slowly came up with a clear battle plan.
However, Yuan Xin's words still made them pay attention. The second half of the meeting was much quieter.
The terrain of Hanchang Pass was treacherous. It seemed like one man could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies. It was definitely not advisable to attack by force.
The Meng's, a formidable enemy, was still eyeing them. Jiang Pengji and Huang Song couldn't afford to lose too many soldiers at Hanchang Pass.
After some discussion, everyone decided to lure the snake out of its hole!
Since attacking by force was not advisable, they could only let the general in charge of Hanchang Pass lead his troops out of the pass. Then, they could take advantage of the fact that the pass was empty to launch a sneak attack.
As he listened, Meng Hun vaguely felt that it was somewhat familiar.
"Back then, didn't the lord and the others use this strategy to deal with General Fu?"
Meng Hun clearly remembered that the lord and the others had tricked Fu Wang into leading his troops out of the pass. Then, they had taken the opportunity to break through Jiamen Pass.
Feng Zhen said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if the strategy is new or old, as long as it works."
Meng Hun secretly frowned. "The general in charge of Hanchang Pass is timid and conservative. They would rather guard the pass than send troops out easily."
If the battle dragged on, Jiang Pengji would be the one to suffer.
After all, it was a long battle in an away game. The pressure on the transportation of grain was great. It couldn't withstand a long battle.
As long as Huang Song and Jiang Pengji's alliance had problems, the Meng's in Cangzhou could find a chance to attack them one by one.
"That's why we need to lure the snake out of its hole," Feng Zhen said. "It's the New Year's Day soon. What should we eat?"
Meng Hun: "…"
Was Feng Langzi possessed by Yang Si?
The battle was more important. Why was he thinking about food?
After a while, Meng Hun finally understood the deeper meaning of Feng Zhen's words.
Jiang Pengji and Huang Song set up camp every day to challenge the enemy. Just as they had feared, the general in charge of Hanchang Pass was a coward.
They weren't annoyed. Instead, they rewarded the troops with fat cattle, sheep, and fine wine. Every night, they lit a bonfire and sang and danced. The soldiers drank until they were drunk. Such a lively scene naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the scouts of Hanchang Pass. The soldiers on the city wall were all dumbfounded.
"Don't be impatient. This is clearly their plan to lure the enemy. We can't fall for it."
