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

"Then let me ask you a question. For those of you who have rolled three times on the battlefield, please tell me what determines victory or defeat on the battlefield? Is it the number of people on both sides?"

Ning Fan asked his first question of the day. It was a question asked by the emperor. No one dared not answer, so everyone frowned and thought about the answer to this question.

There are also some generals who are more flexible and have actually planned to perform well in front of Ning Fan. After all, if they can stand out in front of Ning Fan at this time, they will most likely be reused by Ning Fan in the future.

"Your Majesty, I believe that victory or defeat on the battlefield is not determined by the number of people, but by morale. Morale is the most important link on the entire battlefield. If morale is high, brothers will fight to the death."

"Once the morale is strong, the enemy will be afraid of fighting. Even if they are outnumbered, they will eventually fail because they will trample on each other and spread panic."

A tall general stood up and explained his opinion to Ning Fan. This man had a big head and a strong waist, but unexpectedly he was also very thoughtful and spoke eloquently.

"You said it very well. What's your name?"

Ning Fan showed appreciation for this general, because what he said was indeed right about Ning Fan's temper.

"Your Majesty, the last general's name is Yang Xiong."

The tall general raised his hands towards Ning Fan and said to Ning Fan seriously.

Ning Fan nodded: "Okay, I will remember you."

Hearing what Ning Fan said, the other generals were eager to try. They all wanted to stand up and stand out in front of Ning Fan. Then everyone expressed their opinions. The whole camp was lively. Ning Fan didn't care whether these people were right or wrong. , all with an encouraging attitude.

After all the generals expressed their opinions, Ning Fan made a summary.

"Actually, I think everyone is a general who has fought hundreds of battles, and they all have their own opinions on war. But what I want to say is that the direction of the war is not entirely determined by the number of people. Tactics and strategies are often more important. Just like General Yang Xiong just now That being said, things matter too.”

"So I think there is absolutely no need for everyone to feel uneasy because of the numerical gap between the enemy and ourselves. Everyone must not panic because of this."

Ning Fan looked at the generals and saw that everyone looked at him with their eyes. Ning Fan continued: "Actually, there are some things I haven't mentioned that will determine the direction of the war, including weapons, equipment, and logistical supplies. Of course, A general's military strategy is the most important, so there is no need for everyone to feel anxious because the number of northwest rebels is much greater than ours."

After Ning Fan finished speaking, the eyes of all the generals were bright. If they had doubts before, now they were suddenly enlightened because Ning Fan had explained the basic logic of the entire war clearly.

"Which of you is familiar with Qingshuiyan?"

Ning Fan asked the generals.

This time, before Ning Fan could ask a second time, a general stood up and raised his hand towards Ning Fan.

"Your Majesty, General Chen Qiao has been stationed at Qingshui Hospital for three years. He is very familiar with the situation there. I can count every plant and tree."

A short general walked out from the crowd. This general was short and stout, but powerful and had bright eyes. He seemed to be a simple and brave man.

Ning Fan pointed to the location of Qingshui Hospital in the sand table and asked Chen Qiao: "Then tell me, the enemy's vanguard army wants to cross the Qingshui River next to Qingshui Weir. In addition to Qingshui Weir, there are other places. Is there a suitable place?”

Ning Fan's words made Chen Qiao fall into deep thought. He did not dare to answer casually. After all, Ning Fan was the emperor. If he answered incorrectly, he would be suspected of deceiving the emperor.

"If your Majesty wants to cross the Qingshui River, you don't actually need to go to Qingshuiyan. Although Qingshuiyan is a blocked sandbar, the sand is very deep and soft. If a large group of people wants to pass through here, it will be difficult and very difficult. It’s difficult, and it’s even impossible for some equipment to pass through here.”

Chen Qiao thought for a while and then gave an answer. Then he pointed to a river not far from Qingshui Weir: "There is a small road here that can be used to build a small bridge. Both people and horses can pass through, and it is very convenient." .”

Hearing what Chen Qiao said, Ning Fan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that there was a hidden passage in this place.

"Are you sure? Can the carriage transporting grain and grass pass through here?"

Ning Fan quickly asked Chen Qiao.

"You can pass it all because there are blue rocks underneath, and this natural stone bridge is completely deposited by the river. It is usually covered by the river when the water is deep, but once the tide recedes, this huge stone becomes It is used as a bridge by some nearby villagers.”

Chen Qiao explained to Ning Fan while recalling.

Ning Fan nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the answer given by Chen Qiao.

"This vanguard army wants to attack our granary through the taro paste and beds here in Qingshuiyan, but I decided that we can attack first and send a service soldier to bypass this position and hide in the woodland on both sides through the stone bridge. Here, when they were crossing the river from Qingshui Hospital and were trapped by the silt and sand, we suddenly rushed out and caught him off guard."

Ning Fan pointed to the jungles on both sides of Qingshuiye to the generals, and then pointed to the general terrain in the sand table, and told his strategy.

Sure enough, when the generals heard what Ning Fan said, their eyes lit up. If they really followed the script that Ning Fan said, then this battle would be fought with almost no effort at all.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go."

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to go."

……

All the generals have noticed that this question is simply a scoring question. As long as they lead two teams of troops to ambush nearby, when their team is halfway through, they suddenly rush out and cut the team in half, and then divide and annihilate them. You can easily completely eat up this vanguard of the northwest rebels.

That's why these people rushed to express their willingness to go to Ning Fan, but Ning Fan's eyes wandered around Chen Qiao and Yang Xiong before him.

Ning Fan remembered these two people and had a particularly good impression on them. Ning Fan wanted to give this credit to these two people.

In the end, Ning Fan's eyes fell on Chen Qiao. Although Chen Qiao remained silent and did not express his willingness to go, Ning Fan felt that Chen Qiao was very familiar with the terrain of this area, so he asked Chen Qiao to lead a team If the men and horses go to ambush, the success rate should be infinitely close to 100%.
