Yang Jian slammed his fist on the table angrily.
Yan Lin said calmly, "The most important thing now is to protect ourselves and prevent them from backstabbing us."
Yang Jian's actions this time had thoroughly offended the alliance.
However, he had only withdrawn from the alliance, not the emperor. Those people couldn't do anything to Yang Jian in the open.
"After some time, the alliance leader Xu Bei might come personally. Has my lord thought of a way to deal with him?"
Yang Tao asked curiously, "What is Xu Bei coming here for?"
Yan Lin smiled as he explained, "Xu Bei is the Alliance Leader. If he doesn't handle this matter well, then any of the feudal vassals will withdraw from the alliance at will. The alliance will only exist in name, and his authority as the Alliance Leader will be gone as well. Therefore, Xu Bei will definitely come. "
Yang Tao had no idea. He felt that he couldn't think of a good solution, so he just waited for his friend.
Yan Lin was already used to it. He said, "If Xu Bei comes personally, he will definitely apologize and invite my lord back. With the previous farce, the alliance will not dare to go overboard or be too conspicuous. My lord, you can be more magnanimous and let bygones be bygones. "
Yang Tao was surprised. "Why? He just withdrew from the alliance and now he's going back? "
It would be embarrassing to be so fickle.
Yang Jian understood.
Creating a ruckus at the banquet was not so much to protect themselves, but to express their attitude and make the alliance afraid.
If things went too far, with just Yang Jian's 15,000 troops, it would be difficult for them to resist the pressure of the alliance.
Rather than having a falling out, it was better to each take a step back and protect each other's reputation and interests.
"Alright, then let's do as Shaoyang suggested."
As expected, two hours later, Xu Bei came to visit them personally.
When Jiang Pengji heard Xu Bei swallow his pride and advise Yang Jian, she knew that the highlight of the alliance meeting was about to begin.
"Yang Jian's ruckus was equivalent to exposing the alliance's fig leaf. They couldn't continue to lie to themselves. They could only brace themselves and discuss official matters. After all, we are the alliance that came to save the emperor. We have to put on a show. "Jiang Pengji smiled. Life was finally not boring.
Before, no one exposed them, no one took the lead. Everyone lied to themselves and others, slacking off whenever they could.
Now that Yang Jian had caused trouble and exposed the fact that they were slacking off, they could only pack their bags and go back to work.
On that day, Alliance Leader Xu Bei invited all the powers to discuss important matters.
This time, it wasn't about eating, drinking, or watching a dance. Some people were indifferent, watching the show while others were rubbing their fists, eager to give it a try.
Under the leadership of the alliance chief, Xu Bei, everyone gathered together to discuss how to rescue the emperor and annihilate the traitors who had brought chaos to the imperial court.
Some people suggested attacking Prince Changshou first. Only by killing him could Chenzhou be safe.
Someone suggested entering Chenzhou first and finding a way to ally with the forces there to resist Prince Changshou's forces.
There were also people who suggested attacking Prince Changshou's base in Zhangzhou to see if he would come to the rescue.
The first two suggestions were reasonable, but the last one was simply a joke.
Yan Lin glared at his best friend. Yang Tao, who had suggested the funny idea, shrunk his neck and shut his mouth.
After discussing for a while, no one was able to reach a consensus, because no one could convince anyone else.
Listening to the strategists from various families bickering, Jiang Pengji had the urge to fall asleep. She raised her sleeve to cover her mouth and yawned.
She squeezed out two drops of tears from the corners of her eyes. Then, as if nothing had happened, she put down her sleeve and continued to daydream.
She had the audience in the streaming room. These idle people could chat with her and kill time together.
The others didn't have such a thing. How did the others endure such a boring and long meeting?
Jiang Pengji was daydreaming when she heard someone mention her name. She subconsciously raised her head to look at the other person.
Although she was daydreaming, the audience in the streaming room recorded it for her. The bullet screen was filled with handwritten subtitles typed by the audience.
Rose Legend: "Streamer, Master Yuanjing said that you studied at Langye Academy and that Master Yuanjing valued you. He felt that we should work together, so he asked if you had any good suggestions. Damn, why did this fellow suddenly drag the streamer into this? "
She was calm and composed, without any flaws. No one noticed that she was daydreaming.
"I can't say that it's a brilliant idea, but I do have some suggestions." Jiang Pengji named a few feudal lords and pointed out their strengths and weaknesses in a concise and concise manner. Finally, she said, "The alliance has a large number of soldiers and generals. They're independent. If we force them to merge, even with the alliance's command, I'm afraid they won't be as flexible as normal armies. So, in my opinion, I suggest that we split our forces. One group will reinforce Chenzhou, one group will contain Prince Changshou's forces, another group will provide support from the side, and then another group will take a detour and attack Prince Changshou's rear. "
Because of the lack of cooperation between the 23 forces, they couldn't unleash the combat power of 400,000 soldiers and horses.
Since that was the case, it was better to split their forces, display their flexibility, and play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, an old general faintly mocked her.
"If we split our forces like this, won't we be waiting to be defeated one by one? Our army has 400,000 soldiers. Why don't we attack the enemy directly and capture him alive? Why do we use a roundabout strategy? A young man is a young man. You're just showing off your ability to be an armchair strategist. "
Jiang Pengji laughed as she threw away the dried fruit in her hand. "I'm an armchair strategist. Old general, you're illiterate. Based on what you've said, why don't you say that our army has 400,000 soldiers who can descend from the sky and crush the enemy into minced meat? That each person can drown him with their spit? "
"You …"
The old general had never suffered such ridicule before. His temper flared up and he wanted to draw his weapon and fight her to the death.
Dian Yan and Li Yun were not to be outdone. They stepped forward to protect Jiang Pengji. The entire tent was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Cheng Jing, who had suggested to listen to Jiang Pengji's opinion, was speechless.
He had only heard of Liu Xi's sharp tongue and how he deserved a beating from others, but he had never heard it with his own ears.
Only now did he understand why others always gnashed their teeth in anger whenever this person was mentioned.
His tongue was too cheap, comparable to Feng Zhen's!
It was not easy for Xu Bei to be the leader of the alliance. He could not sit idly by and let the two of them really fight.
Xu Bei stood out to be the peacemaker. "Lanting, it's not impossible to split our forces. Old general's suggestion isn't bad either."
Thus, Xu Bei received a look of disdain from Jiang Pengji. He was a fence-sitter!
Xu Bei coughed softly and said, "Now that Chenzhou is in a state of emergency, we don't know how much longer we can hold out. We should end the battle quickly and kill the enemy as soon as possible. It's not advisable to delay. The longer we delay, the more danger His Majesty will be in. Lanting's method is safe and secure, but it will take a long time. As for the old general's suggestion, I agree with it. Our alliance has 400,000 soldiers. Every one of them is unafraid of death and hardship. They are brave and skillful in battle. As long as we work together, we will be able to destroy the enemy as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. We will restore our country and restore order to the imperial court! "
Hearing this, Jiang Pengji secretly snorted.
