Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"But His Highness also said just now that stationing on the top of the mountain for a long time is not conducive to our army at all. This is a dead end and there is no answer at all."

Someone said very pessimistically.

Seeing the helpless staff, Ning Fan seemed a little disappointed. After all, these staff were his apprentices who had been carefully brought out. In the future, these staff would also become the think tank of the Dragon Scale Army.

But now it seems that these marching staff are far from reaching the level of mature strategic thinking, and their thinking ability is limited to the most rudimentary military thinking.

It currently seems impossible to use these staff officers to command an army to win a battle.

Just when Ning Fan was about to express his thoughts, Chen Yuanqing, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

He said in a low voice with a hoarse voice: "You guys just want to defend here. What's the difference between you and turtles? Since we are destined to be unable to stop the Jurchens, why don't we take the initiative to attack?"

As soon as Chen Yuanqing said this, Ning Fan's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Chen Yuanqing in disbelief. He really didn't expect that Chen Yuanqing could come up with such a brilliant idea.

But then the tent fell into a quarrel. The staff members had different opinions on Chen Yuanqing. Most people did not support Chen Yuanqing's view, because everyone felt that there were hundreds of thousands of Jurchens. Once the dragon scales The army fell into the encirclement of the Jurchens. At that time, the soil was deep and it was impossible to escape intact.

"Let me just say, it is a waste of time to let you people come up with ideas. There is no sure thing in war. War is ever-changing. Everything depends on courage and luck, not just sitting at home and discussing blindly."

Chen Yuanqing dismissed most of the opinions of these advisers. He was very trusting and confident in his own judgment.

When all the staff members were criticizing Chen Yuanqing, Ning Fan remained silent. When Chen Yuanqing became completely impatient and planned to explode, Ning Fan finally took action.

"Actually, General Chen's method is not unfeasible. One punch can save hundreds of punches. Let's deal with the Jurchens. Since we can't defend, we must find another way. Taking the initiative at this time is definitely the best way."

Ning Fan expressed his appreciation for Chen Yuanqing as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Chen Yuanqing's spirit perk up and his eyes were full of gratitude.

Before this, his face showed a kind of anger that he was not favored and not understood by others, but at this moment, it was as if he had met a close friend.

"But Your Highness, have you ever thought about it? We only have more than 30,000 people, and the number of Jurchens is at least four times ours. Do you think it is possible to defeat more with less in such a situation?"

Many staff officers raised questions about Ning Fan.

"Nothing is impossible. One way I have is to block all the escape routes and put them to death. Then everyone will have no hope of escaping, and will instead work hard."

"The Jurchens are not wolves, tigers and leopards, nor are they invincible. They are just proficient in riding and shooting. Once they reach the mountainous areas, the rugged mountain roads are not suitable for horses to run at all, and their special skill is riding and shooting. , it has no effect at all on this rugged snowy terrain.”

Ning Fan did not blindly refute these advisers. Instead, he began to peel off the cocoons and began to analyze them bit by bit.

Sometimes if you want to make another person believe your point of view, you don't have to speak louder than the other person, nor do you have to use your power to coerce and intimidate the other person. Instead, you have to use the method of peeling off the cocoon to make the other person understand and understand it bit by bit. Accept your own perspective.

"Have you ever thought about it, if we still have a way out, then when some soldiers realize that the Jurchens outnumber us, even the most elite Dragon Scale Army may retreat and escape."

"But once all escape routes are cut off, you can speak out if you have any bold ideas."

Ning Fan smiled and looked at everyone.

A group of staff members frowned and couldn't say a word. They had to believe Ning Fan's words, because every word Ning Fan said made sense and could not be refuted at all.

"But have you ever thought about it, Your Highness, what will happen if our family fortune is wiped out if we have more than 30,000 dragon scale troops? What will happen to Jiangzhou? What will happen to Dakang?"

Some staff raised questions again. After all, even if more than 100,000 to 30,000 people could defeat the more than 140,000 Jurchens, the losses would still be very heavy.

"Have you ever thought about it, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it does not operate completely according to your inherent ideas. Have you ever thought about it, if we all show a tendency of tigers descending from the mountain at the beginning, then the Jurchens will not There will be panic, will they flee in all directions, will they trample on each other?"

Ning Fan followed the guidance and gradually induced these marching staff to develop the ability to think on their own.

As expected, everyone fell silent after listening to Ning Fan's words.

Because I have to admit that what Ning Fan said makes sense, but Ning Fan's method is too risky. If he puts himself to death and survives, if the operation is not good, the whole army will be annihilated.

Ning Fan did not speak. If he ordered the army to attack, he would not need the consent of these staff officers at all. But at this time, Ning Fan was not in a hurry to refute these people because he knew that the training of a group of staff officers would be crucial to the future of the Dragon Scale Army. development is crucial.

"I agree with what His Highness said, because we have no other better way. If we want to break the situation, we have to put ourselves to death and risk our lives! If you are afraid of the wolf in front and the tiger in the back, then you will never win the battle."

One staff officer first took the lead in raising his hands to express support for Ning Fan. Following this staff officer's lead, the rest of the staff gradually raised their hands and expressed support for Ning Fan's decision.

Chen Yuanqing leaned against the door of the tent, holding a toothpick in his mouth, and finally couldn't help but smile on his face.

"I know that panic is spreading. As long as we are not afraid of death, the Jurchens will be the ones who are afraid of death and flee. Do you know how many horses the Jurchens have? Do you know how sharp the Jurchens' knives are?" ? If we can obtain this batch of materials and horses from the Jurchens, we can say that we will become rich overnight."

Before the war started, Chen Yuanqing had already begun to care about the Jurchens' wealth, which made Ning Fan a little bit dumbfounded.

In fact, the idea of ​​deciding to rush down the mountain to fight the Jurchens has long been a nightmare in Ning Fan's mind. However, there are still many difficulties in implementing it. He must take one step at a time, make the entire battle plan as detailed as possible, and try to include all possible encounters. Make plans for every situation.
