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

A night of blizzard covered almost the entire mountain with snow, which could submerge a person's knees. The tents built by the soldiers were buried in the snow. Fortunately, many trees were cut down in advance. The soldiers could light wood in the tents to keep warm. It wouldn't cause too much damage to the soldiers.

Ning Fan looked at the vast snow and began to make plans in his mind.

The more severe the weather conditions are, the more suitable it is to conduct a raid. After all, the building where the Jurchens live is a place with abundant water and grass and a suitable temperature. There is no such cold season at all.

In other words, the Jurchens are very unsuitable for such a cold and cold area.

As for the soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army who have lived in Jiangzhou and Beijing for a long time, they have a good tolerance to the cold. In addition, the food of the Dragon Scale Army is usually good. Soldiers have stored a lot of fat on their bodies, so they did not flinch when faced with this extremely cold weather.

In the evening, Ning Fan summoned all the leaders of the Dragon Scale Army with more than a thousand households. All these leaders gathered in Ning Fan's camp and began to formulate an attack plan for tomorrow night.

According to the previously discussed strategy, Ning Fan further refined the attack plan and subcontracted specific combat plans and contracted combat tasks to each thousand households.

In this way, everyone will not fight blindly like headless flies. Instead, they will each have their own goals, coordinate with each other in an orderly manner, and achieve impressive results at a very small cost.

"How many days' worth of food do you have with you?"

After the battle plan was laid out, Ning Fan suddenly asked a question to many officers present. This question stunned all the officers.

"Your Highness, the compressed biscuits carried by each of our soldiers can support at least one month's rations. This means that if we don't use any food this month, we won't go hungry."

An officer looked at Ning Fan with some confusion, because he knew that Ning Fan could not know these details and information, but no one knew why Ning Fan asked specifically.

"One month's rations are too much. We threw away most of the rations and only left three days of rations."

Ning Fan's sudden order made all the officers present dumbfounded.

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and there is no doubt about the role of military rations for soldiers.

If there is no military food, these soldiers will quickly lose body temperature without energy replenishment and will freeze to death.

Therefore, all the officers maintained an attitude of incomprehension towards Ning Fan's decision, and some even thought that Ning Fan was crazy.

"This is an order, and everyone must execute it unconditionally. Throw away the rations and keep only three days of rations. I emphasize it again."

Ning Fan gave the order with an expressionless face. Although all the officers did not understand, they nodded silently, but the expressions of resistance on their faces could not be concealed at all.

The news of throwing away the military rations spread like wings within the Dragon Scale Army. All the soldiers were furious. In this icy and snowy weather, even wild vegetables and small animals could not be found. If there was no military rations, , then everyone will starve to death.

But when they thought of the military regulations of the Dragon Scale Army, everyone shut up and began to implement them silently.

When Ning Fan saw this scene, he was very happy in his heart. These soldiers were able to carry out the orders. It was really not easy for them to throw away the military rations. This also shows from the side that the Dragon Scale Army's strict discipline has reached a very high level. A high level.

"Your Highness, what do you think? Without food, will everyone starve to death? If it is warm weather, everyone can still chew tree bark, gnaw turf, find some wild fruits, and hunt some hares to attack, but this It’s a world of ice and snow. Once there is no food, it doesn’t take only half a day, and everyone will freeze to death due to loss of body temperature.”

Chen Yuanqing found Ning Fan silently, with a look of confusion on his face. For the time being, the discarded military rations would not be damaged. If Ning Fan took back the order at this time, these military rations could be re-equipped by the soldiers.

Chen Yuanqing's purpose was actually very simple, just to let Ning Fan take back his life, but Ning Fan firmly shook his head: "I tell you, in this ice and snow, if the soldiers want to escape, they will not be able to escape for three days. Within the range, that is to say, throwing away the military rations means that everyone is cut off from the idea of ​​​​escape. They have only one way to survive, and that is to kill the Jurchens and steal the food from the Jurchens."

When facing Chen Yuanqing, Ning Fan did not hide anything and directly stated his motives for doing so. As expected, after hearing what Ning Fan said, Chen Yuanqing was stunned.

He suddenly discovered that Ning Fan was not only ruthless to his enemies, but also very ruthless to himself, showing no mercy in his attacks.

If there is still room for the previous plan, then throwing away the army rations is equivalent to completely blocking the way back. If everyone wants to survive, they can only attack this way and fight to the death with the enemy. You have to win to survive.

"Your Highness, I support your decision."

After fully understanding Ning Fan's intentions, Chen Yuanqing was so impressed that he fell to the ground.

"You are a grown man, don't look at me like that."

Ning Fan felt embarrassed when Chen Yuanqing stared at him with a strange look.

"Your Highness, I suddenly realized that when I decided to follow you, I made the right decision. Even if I, Chen Yuanqing, die in the future, I will never regret following Your Highness."

Chen Yuanqing looked at Ning Fan eagerly, as if Ning Fan was a peerless beauty in his eyes.

"Let's do this, you gather all the officers and inform everyone of my true intentions, so that everyone will not have any worries. I can assure you that as long as you put yourself to death and survive, you will cut off all escape routes. Then everyone will be united as one, and these Jurchens will not be our opponents at all. When the time comes, rushing down the mountain to attack the Jurchens will be like cutting tofu with a sharp knife."

Ning Fan assured Chen Yuanqing without any doubt.

If Ning Fan still felt that there were any flaws in the previous plan, then throw away the military rations. After the idea was born, Ning Fan felt that this plan was already perfect. Once this plan was successfully implemented and defeated the Jurchens, there would be almost no suspense.

Once this battle is passed, the main force of the Jurchens will be destroyed. After that, the Huns will be isolated and helpless in the future.

Although the Jurchens colluded with the Huns, in fact the Jurchens did not play a big role on the Huns. Compared with the fierce and powerful Huns, the Jurchens' military strength was really not worth mentioning.
