He didn't expect Yuan Zhen to know this secret. It seemed that this person had some ability.
He whispered to Mo Li, "Mo Li, go up and meet him."
Mo Li nodded and walked forward. "Mister Yuan, I've heard of your great name. Sure enough, hearing about you can't compare to meeting you in person. I heard that you're an outstanding strategist and a military genius. Dare I ask, in this battle of Yanzhou, the Tiansheng army had a hundred thousand men, while our army only had fifty thousand. Moreover, the Tiansheng army had already taken Yanzhou City. If it were you, how would you take back the city? "
Yuan Zhen raised his eyes and looked at the people in front of him. They had extraordinary bearings, especially Chu Xuanchen, who was standing beside Mo Li.
Seeing Chu Xuanchen, his eyes flashed with a trace of shrewdness, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He said, "It's easy to defend a city, but difficult to attack it. The Tiansheng crown prince took our city and occupied an advantageous position. However, he also has a weakness, which is the problem of food and water. As the saying goes, before the troops and horses move, the food and fodder move first. Food and fodder are the key to victory. The Tiansheng army's food and fodder had to be transported over a long distance from Tiansheng, and their water source had to be brought in from outside Yanzhou City. As long as we cut off the enemy's food and water source, and restrict their lifeline, we can force them to fight outside the city. At that time, we can set up an ambush in advance and lure the enemy deep into the city. Only then can we win. "
After hearing this, Mo Li and Chu Xuanchen exchanged glances.
The battle was a military secret, and ordinary people didn't know how the prince won.
They didn't expect Yuan Zhen's words to coincide with the prince's method.
At this time, Chu Xuanchen nodded at Mo Li. Mo Li said, "Mister is indeed wise. I have another question. Do you think our Chu is doing well or not? "
Yuan Zhen thought for a moment and his expression turned grave. "Although our Chu is prosperous, there are many problems. Externally, our country is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the chaos of war is frequent. Internally, our country has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters in recent years. The people are homeless and hungry. The situation isn't good. "
Mo Li said, "Then in Mister's opinion, what should we do to make our country strong again?"
Yuan Zhen said, "The country is based on the people, and food is the heaven of the people. If you want to make the country of Chu strong and prosperous, you must first solve the problem of food and clothing for the people. After solving the problems of the people's livelihood, food, and clothing, they would talk about the strategy of enriching the country. If you want to make a country rich, you must first make its people rich. If the people are rich, the country will be easy to govern. If the people are poor, the country will be difficult to govern. If we want to enrich the people, we must vigorously develop trade and the economy. Sigh, there's too much to say. I can't finish it all in a short time. "
Hearing Yuan Zhen's words, Chu Xuanchen nodded.
He patted Mo Li's shoulder. After Mo Li understood what he meant, he said to Mo Li, "Sir, may I invite you to Bright Moon Tower for a chat?"
Yuan Zhen nodded. He cast a glance toward Chu Xuanchen and said, "Very well, the Heaven does not refuse a man's wish, therefore, in the end he will meet his Sovereign."
He finally found the person he was waiting for!
-
Soon, Chu Xuanchen's group and Yuan Zhen arrived at Bright Moon Tower.
As soon as they entered the private room, Yuan Zhen suddenly cupped his hands toward Chu Xuanchen and said solemnly, "Yuan Zhen pays respect to His Highness The Emperor of Li."
Chu Xuanchen wasn't surprised that Yuan Zhen recognized him. This meant that this Yuan Zhen really had some skill.
He said indifferently, "You know Wang's identity?"
Yuan Zhen said, "Only The Emperor of Li can be so concerned about the Battle of Yanzhou and Chu's situation."
Mo Li was stunned. He asked in disbelief, "Sir, I exchanged clothes with our prince. How did you recognize him?"
Yuan Zhen said, "General Mo, if you are the real His Highness, why would you ask His Highness about everything? Moreover, His Highness's temperament is extraordinary. Even if he disguises himself as a bodyguard, it still can't hide his brilliance. "
