A spy?
Although everyone knew about this, this battle plan relied too much on the performance of the spy. It could be said that the success of the spy depended on whether the spy's performance was good. If the spy's acting skills were good and he fooled the Red Lotus Group, he would definitely succeed.
But … but what if the spy's acting skills were awkward, were exposed, or didn't meet the expected standards?
They feigned an attack on Fenghu County and focused on Jinmen County. If the Red Lotus Group didn't withdraw their troops from Jinmen County, it would be awkward.
Xu Ke and the others were a little worried that they would place their hopes on an unknown spy without a proper way out.
Among those present, only Wei Ci was confident. Not only did he understand Jiang Pengji, but he also understood An Cui.
With regards to Jiang Pengji, Wei Ci could at most speculate her mood and plans through her words and actions, but she liked to play her cards unpredictably. It was good enough that Wei Ci could guess correctly once or twice out of ten times. An Cui … Wei Ci had been with him for many years. He had long understood this person thoroughly.
If the acting skills of all the feudal vassals were ranked, An Cui would definitely be in the top three.
The conditions offered by Jiang Pengji were too tempting. An Cui would bite the bait even if he knew it was a trap, not to mention that he hadn't discovered it yet. As long as he helped Jiang Pengji conquer Chengde County, An Cui could take half of the captured men and money. The royal family of Dongqing had issued an edict to rescue the emperor. An Cui wanted to use this springboard to develop. The 10% of the men and money that Jiang Pengji promised him were extremely important.
Jiang Pengji wanted to use Chengde County to expand her military strength and land. She wanted to suppress the aristocrats in Shangyang County and stabilize her foundation.
An Cui also wanted to use 10% of the men as capital to join the ranks of the "rescue the emperor" forces and take the opportunity to develop.
Their interests were the same. An Cui yearned for victory even more than Jiang Pengji.
Under this kind of temptation, even without the urging of others, An Cui would do his best to make this happen. He would do everything he could to make this happen.
Just as Wei Ci was thinking about how to dispel everyone's worries and reassure them, Jiang Pengji spoke.
She said, "Everyone's worries are not without reason. I've thought about it carefully and intend to tell you something."
Wei Ci's heart skipped a beat. He was about to speak, but he was still a step too late.
Jiang Pengji said, "I plan to lead the vanguard battalion in this attack!"
These few words were like firecrackers thrown into a pot of boiling water, causing an explosion.
Needless to say, both the strategists led by Xu Ke and the generals led by Meng Hun were firmly against it.
They knew that Jiang Pengji fought bravely, but their lord was the one who kept watch at the rear and stabilized the situation.
If she ran to the front line to kill the enemy and exposed her identity, the enemy would focus on her. What should she do then?
No matter how brave a person was, when faced with thousands of blades, he could only wait to be chopped into minced meat.
Yang Si was surprised. He didn't seem to have expected Jiang Pengji's solution to be this.
He had never seen how Jiang Pengji looked like when she killed people. He thought she was just being arrogant and liked to play the hero. He suddenly had a headache.
"Magistrate Liu, you should consider the bigger picture. As everyone's lord, how could you disregard the danger and personally go into battle? "
It was one thing for her to go into battle personally, but she still wanted to lead the vanguard battalion.
What was the vanguard battalion for?
The Vanguard Battalion was responsible for scouting the path for the entire army, scouting the enemy's situation, checking out the terrain, or conducting reconnaissance or probing attacks in order to disrupt the enemy's formation and boost their morale. The tasks were arduous, and were usually made up of the most elite soldiers of the entire army.
In other words, the vanguard battalion was the first unit in the army to fight with the enemy.
Under normal circumstances, the reduction of members would start from the vanguard battalion.
Entering the vanguard battalion meant that one could go and meet the King of Hell.
Everyone's obstructions and objections drifted into her left ear and out of her right ear. No matter how eloquent their words were, she remained unmoved.
Seeing the familiar scene, the audience in the livestream room expressed their delight.
Tomorrow Gaokao La: "Hahaha — don't you think this scene is familiar? When we attacked Chengan District previously, the streamer also wanted to go to the front line, but in the end, she was stopped by the little princesses under her. Now, the team of the little princesses has expanded further, and there are more people obstructing the streamer. Should we take a gamble and see if the streamer or the little princesses will win? "
Cheering Little Angels: "# despise. You all said that they are the little princesses. According to the streamer's habit of spoiling them, they will definitely be persuaded in the end." Putting aside this point, the battlefield has no eyes. As the backbone, the streamer is indeed not suitable to take risks. "
Shigeng: "You are all hahaha. Am I the only one who feels sorry for the streamer? She is actually more suitable to be a general, not a lord. As a general, she can fight on the battlefield and unleash her wild nature. She can take the head of the enemy's general amidst thousands of troops and make the enemy tremble in fear … "
However, Jiang Pengji was everyone's backbone and their lord. She had become a panda that was protected in disguise.
Perfect Ten Beauties: "The commenter above is not alone. Every time I see the little princesses obstructing the streamer, I feel uncomfortable. If it happens a few more times, I will turn from a fan to a hater. The streamer is a tiger or a lion, not a panda that is locked up in a zoo and carefully served. "
There was a lot of discussion on the bullet screen in the livestream room. Naturally, Jiang Pengji did not miss it.
The idle audience compared her to a panda that was being protected, and the strategists and generals as little princesses. She felt that it was quite fitting.
Then —
"There is no need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind." Jiang Pengji's gaze became determined. If she continued to be trapped here and was associated with a bunch of government affairs all day, she had almost forgotten how exhilarating it was to ride a horse and kill the enemy was. "I will lead the Vanguard Battalion. This time, we must conquer Jinmen District with the fastest speed and the lowest casualties. Apart from me, who among the generals can do it? This matter is decided. "
Meng Hun and the others had fought with Jiang Pengji before. Whether it was one-on-one combat or leading troops into battle, there was indeed a huge gap between them and Jiang Pengji.
Yang Si was stunned and could not help but turn his gaze to Jiang Pengji.
After the meeting, Yang Si pulled Wei Ci aside and whispered into his ear.
"This lord of yours … Can she still go to the battlefield with such a small body?"
Wei Ci was still immersed in his own thoughts. He was interrupted by Yang Si. He raised his head and said in a slightly mocking tone, "My lord's martial arts are extraordinary and she is brave and invincible. Why can't she go to the battlefield? Let's not talk about anything else. If you were her opponent, you wouldn't be able to defeat her even if she gave you a handicap of two legs, one hand, and four fingers … "
Yang Si almost choked on Wei Ci's words.
What was wrong with Wei Ci? The moment he opened his mouth, he ended the conversation.
"Is she really as powerful as you say?" Yang Si revealed a doubtful expression.
Jiang Pengji was not short, but her figure was not burly. She looked a little lean and did not look like she could fight.
Wei Ci urged, "If you don't believe me, why don't you give it a try? But come to think of it, why did you suddenly make such a suggestion? "
Yang Si was just a "part-time worker." He stayed behind for the sake of delicious food, but now he took the initiative to offer a suggestion.
Yang Si looked away and said angrily, "Do you think I want to? Don't you think about your lord's temperament? Once I've boarded this pirate ship, can I still leave? If Liu Xi was just a small district magistrate, I naturally wouldn't be afraid. Now that he's about to become the magistrate, how can I escape? "
