The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 706: Huai'an, I am optimistic about you!

After hearing this, the King of England looked at him with a very mysterious look.

The Yan family seems to be particularly concerned about money and food.

 There was a secret letter from Yan Huaiwen suggesting that he capture Xizhou before the imperial court sent troops!

 There are mines all over Xizhou, and the wealth of the King of Qi is well known.

If it succeeds, Guanzhou...will make a big difference!

Later, Yan Huaian volunteered to lead troops to Leshan. The King of England thought about it. This guy said that he was trying to find out what was going on in Xizhou, but it was true that he would seize the opportunity to rob Xizhou's food and grass!

Look at the uncontrollable excitement on Yan Er's face when he said this.

 How can you be so excited if you are just inquiring about the news?

Even the King of England was a little itchy.

"Huai'an, tell me, what are the chances of our Guanzhou Army winning against the Xizhou Army?"

Yan Laoer thought hard, and then said: "There's no way to explain it, my lord. They say that Xizhou's soldiers are strong and its horses are strong. I don't think so. Are the horses really stronger than us? Are the soldiers stronger than us? Not necessarily!"

The King of England regained his energy, slipped out of the chair, leveled his eyes with Yan Er, leaned on his back, stretched his legs, and sat on the ground.

 “Tell me more about it.”

Yan Laoer showed his status during the exam that day.

 rolled up his sleeves, took a sip of tea, gestured with his hands, and talked.

"We and Xizhou's horses all come from outside the customs. They feed them well and we raise them carefully! There may not be as many as them before, but after we defeated Beirong, we captured many horses and horses, both old and young. They were divided among several roadside troops. They are all clean and equipped for the soldiers, and we will not lose in terms of war horses!"

“Xizhou’s equipment is better than ours. It’s true that the armor is new. But on the battlefield, where life and death are at stake, no matter how thick or strong the armor is, it’s useless.”

"There is one thing about our Guanzhou Army that they can't compare to. Our side has been fighting all year round and they are all soldiers who have fought hundreds of battles. But on the other side of Xizhou, as far as I know, they haven't seriously fought against Xirong on a large scale for many years. Let's fight, you can't build a strong soldier by fighting in a small way, a real warrior still has to see blood!"

Just like the people in their village, they have killed barbarians and seen blood. What a huge change!

Yan Laoer said extremely seriously.

These are all his own ideas. They may be shallow or wrong, but it doesn't matter. If the prince wants to hear them, he will tell them.

“Furthermore, if we really want to fight, it’s not the same thing as defending the city or taking the initiative!”

The King of England listened more seriously and gestured with his eyes to continue speaking.

 One prince, one general banner.

 One is sitting and the other is squatting.

 The two heads are getting closer and closer.

“When the Beirong army comes over, we in Huju will defend the city.”

Yan Laoer said seriously: "The fight will be difficult!"

"People outside the city can use any method to attack the city. As long as it is effective and regardless of the consequences, they can choose to attack the city at any time. If they have the strength, they can attack the city. If they don't, they can take a rest. But we in the city can't do it. We will die. Stare and pay attention to the movements outside the city. Even if you take turns to take a rest, you can't stay too far away, let alone sleep to death. You are always in the tension of life and death. There are only so many supplies in the city. , are most afraid of a protracted war. The villagers are doing their best to help, but only a few know what to do. They are actually very obedient and can really help, but only if there is someone who clearly gives the instructions. Once something goes wrong with this person, the villagers will be panicked and at a loss..."

“I think we can do some exercises in the future.”

Yan Laoer became more and more energetic as he spoke, opening and closing his mouth and talking non-stop: "We pretended to be enemy troops all the way to attack, and defended the city all the way. Then he brought the villagers with him and assigned them tasks, which ones should go to the city gate to move stones, and which ones should Take the old, weak, women and children to hide, wherever you hide, there should be no chaos on the streets, and you have to arrange a few teams of street patrols. If the enemy really comes in... the people should just run away if they can. It's best to create a few secret roads out of the city. Let people take the big guy to escape, leaving the green hills behind, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"

Yan Laoer suddenly paused and realized that he was off topic...

But it’s okay, he’s thick-skinned, so just switch back naturally.

"Besides, taking the initiative to attack, I think this is good. It's so comfortable to fight in other people's territory! Fight wherever you want, cause harm however you want. It won't hurt if the city is destroyed and the house collapses. If you don't worry, we can give people Surround yourself and fight slowly, oh, this is so exciting!"

Yan Laoer didn’t know anything about the art of war, but he had heard a sentence, and he suddenly blurted out:

 “Offense is the best defense!”

 After saying this, I was stunned. Yan Laoer looked at the King of England and swallowed.

 “Your Majesty, I’ve finished.”

The King of England really listened, thought about it for a long time, and concluded: "Xizhou has been planning for a long time, but Guanzhou is not a vegetarian. The two armies are facing each other, five to five.

"Xizhou has not moved at the moment. If I move first..." The King of England fell into deep thought: "Seize the opportunity, take advantage of his unpreparedness, and attack one city first, no, two or three cities, maybe, but there is no chance."

 “Offense is the best defense!”

 “Offense is best, defense?”

The King of England shook his head slowly, and then said firmly: "What Huai'an said is true. We in Guanzhou have insufficient supplies. If we are trapped by the siege, we will be in a difficult battle."

 “Huai’an!” The King of England’s eyes were burning and piercing at this moment.

 “Your Majesty?” Yan Laoer looked down at his grabbed arm.

The King of England used a little strength on his hand, looked serious, and said word by word: "If you are not good at writing, you can do it with force. Huai'an, do your best, I am optimistic about you!"

The King of England’s eyes were too bright, and Yan Laoer felt something was wrong.

But the next moment, the King of England stood up with his arms. The weight of this person came down, and Yan Laoer couldn't hold on, and almost fell over.

The King of England walked to the desk, brushed his brush, and quickly wrote a note.

 “Go to the accountant’s office to collect your reward!”

Yan Laoer's happiness was all over his face. He stood up and walked forward quickly. He took the note and looked at it curiously.

He kept saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is generous! Your Majesty..."

"Okay!" The King of England suppressed his lips, "When you leave the house and someone asks you, do you know what to say?"

 “I know, I know!” Yan Laoer was so happy that his teeth were exposed. "Your Majesty sent me a few taels of silver, but it's not enough!"

The King of England couldn't hold back his laughter.

 “Yan Er, Yan Er, waiter, let me follow you.”

 Be really clever when you should be clever.

“That’s right, I always teach her that she must not show off her wealth outside, as she will easily be noticed.” Yan Laoer said proudly.

"If you want to go to Leshan, go ahead." King Ying said, "You probably don't care about the food and grass in Xizhou. You should focus on training troops."

Yan Laoer nodded repeatedly.

 The name doesn't matter, as long as you can lead the troops in a legitimate manner.

“Let’s go to Leshan Mansion. I have another mission for you.”

Yan Laoer listened seriously.

 …

"Father, what are you talking about? Your Majesty still wants you to recruit troops? These five thousand people are not enough, why should we need more?" Yan Yu murmured: "Is our Prince so courageous?"

Yan Laoer: I didn’t think twice, I just said whatever came to my mind and outputted it in a sudden burst! I can’t even repeat it if I ask it again. How can anyone remember what I said when I was talking about it?

Waiter: My father's strong-mouthed king deceived the prince, and I'm afraid he thought he was a wise man who led troops in war!

The King of England: Yan Er has a lot of money in his belly. I am optimistic about him!
