Lin Wanyue looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu looked back at Lin Wanyue calmly.

At this time, Lin Wanyue was no longer Wuxia Ameng, the big soldier who would bow his head and dare not look directly at the marshal because of Li Mujiwei, had been tempered by time and reborn.

In the big tent, there was deathly silence.

Li Mu and Lin Wanyue looked at each other like this, testing each other's bottom line.

Silence is not awkward.

On the one hand is the pioneer who has doubts and is bound to find out the "truth" and has been able to take the lead.

On one side is the Generalissimo who intends to test the strength of the former and has commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern border for more than ten years.

The two were deadlocked like this, not giving in to each other.

After a while, Li Mu said slowly, "It's not enough to rely on your family to infer everything. I don't know whether other countries secretly support the Xiongnu, but you say that someone in the court had an affair with the Xiongnu, so you have to show evidence."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Lin Wanyue smiled slightly, as if she had expected it long ago, and replied: "Of course the general dare not talk nonsense in front of the commander in chief. Where did the food for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the border go for the winter?"

Li Mu also smiled, looked at Lin Feixing and replied: "You asked me about me? I remember last year you were unable to find food and grass, and you were hit by a board."

Hearing this, Lin Wanyue slowly restrained her smile. At this time, she already knew that Li Mu must have something to hide, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable. The loss of food and grass was unclear. As the commander of the northern border, Li Mu's face was dull. Although he was also beaten, it was nothing to worry about.

However, Li Mu, as the marshal of the northern border and the uncle of the country, was beaten a hundred army sticks in front of the soldiers of the three armies because of food and grass!

Lin Wanyue pondered for a moment, then continued: "Commander, although the general has only been in the army for three years, and his experience in all aspects is less than one ten thousandth of that of the commander, but the general remembers the winter of his first year in the army, which is much better than now. It's cold, and the snow is much thicker than last year. In order to grab a bite of food for the winter, the Huns even froze to death, but last winter, the Huns never came. Quite a lot, but that doesn’t make any sense! As soon as the food and grass were lost in autumn, the Xiongnu didn’t come even once in winter, Commander, I remember you saying that there are no coincidences on the battlefield.”

After listening to Lin Feixing's words, Li Mu fell silent.

He was even a little depressed, and the gully on his face was much deeper, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

Lin Wanyue raised her eyes and suddenly found that Li Mu's temples had grown gray.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Li Mu, who was born in a noble family and has commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern region for more than ten years, figured out the joints shortly after the loss of food and grass. This is why Li Mu called Lin Feixing back and refused to investigate further. .

Li Musheng was afraid that Lin Feixing would pursue him too closely, and if any clues were found, the "black hand" behind the scenes would kill Lin Feixing to silence him.

The loss of food and grass is actually the saddest thing for Li Mu. He abandoned the prosperity of the capital and sacrificed his entire youth to station in the bitter cold of the northern border, only to be betrayed by the court.

And Li Zhao, the brother he grew up with, the husband of his own sister, and the emperor who left the country, for the sake of the so-called royal face, forcibly suppressed the matter, and gave him a board to warn him to keep his mouth shut.

Li Mu bears this secret alone, and he has to watch helplessly that those soldiers under his command who don't know it continue to throw their heads and blood for the court.

Li Mu felt that it was worthless to say something rebellious.

But what can be done?Even if it's not worth it, you still have to stick to it.

If the border defenses in the north were breached due to a moment of impatience, it would be the common people who would suffer.

The Huns couldn't hit the capital no matter what!

And this "secret" that Li Mu thought would be brought into the coffin by him was unexpectedly discovered by a 17-year-old boy and revealed.

For a moment, Li Mu felt sad and happy, with mixed feelings.

Li Mu raised his hand and patted Lin Feixing's shoulder, saying, "Don't mention this matter again."

"Yes."

Lin Wanyue nodded, vaguely felt that things were not that simple, and there seemed to be a deeper truth waiting for her to discover, but Lin Wanyue knew that she did not have the ability and mind to get involved in such a deep level.

The truth still needs to wait, and she didn't come this time for the "old story" of grain and grass.

"Commander, the general has a small battle plan recently, I hope the general can allow the general to start the arrangement."

"Oh? Let's talk first and listen."

"Yes, the general thinks that the night attack on the barracks by hundreds of dead soldiers composed of the Huns may have only two purposes. The strategic art of war is definitely beyond the imagination of the barbarians of the Huns, but it is a pity that there is a powerful military adviser but no one who implements the strategy."

"how do I say this?"

"I think these Huns must have come with such a purpose in the first place, but the Huns have the instinct to fight fiercely in their bones. The general speculates boldly that they must be fighting with our soldiers. He became so red-eyed that he forgot his original purpose in the end, and only knew how to fight fiercely and kill our soldiers; in the end, all of them were annihilated, and the task was not completed."

Li Mu nodded and asked, "Tell me about your plan."

"The subordinate's plan is very simple: use his own way to deal with his own body."

"Be specific."

"Yes, my subordinate's plan is to personally lead a team of subordinates to sneak into the territory of the Xiongnu and adapt to the situation. Of course, the main purpose is to destroy the winter rations of the Huns. Winter is coming soon, and the Huns have not yet succeeded in the autumn harvest. If their rations are destroyed at this time, a large number of the Huns will starve to death and freeze to death in the cold winter!"

After finishing speaking, a gleam of determination flashed in Lin Wanyue's eyes.

But Li Mu frowned and said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Firstly, how can we do the same things in a country of etiquette and barbarians? Secondly, for so many years, our army has always been based on the principle of "defense" "As the first priority, you rashly destroy the food and grass of the Huns, which is very dangerous. Let alone it, once you succeed, it will inevitably cause a big backlash. The Huns will fight back against our border at all costs if they have no food for the winter. I'm afraid there will be more casualties."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Lin Wanyue got up from the stool with a "huh", walked around in front of Li Mu and knelt down with a "plop", straightened her back, and said loudly: "Marshal, the barbarians of the Huns, if you lie down A wolf that collapsed in our northern border, how can we allow wild beasts to sleep soundly under the couch? The commander is kind, and the general is willing to risk the world's injustice, and the "defense" against the Huns will never be finished! We left the country and sacrificed countless soldiers , Several generals have guarded the frontier all their lives, and the Huns are still endless. They invade the border several times a year, and how many good men die at their hands! The result? As a result, our patience and accommodation did not bring us anything Peace; instead, they sent dead men to attack our camp at night! In this case, the general thought that they had to kill all their horses and burn their food; wipe out all the Hun men who were capable of fighting, and detain all the Hun women Unified management can completely eradicate the Huns’ suffering! Even if we take a step back and look at the present, the Huns will indeed counterattack for a while after being burned for food and horses, but we can continue to retreat and resist Yangguan City. The land and the Huns are exhausted. They have no food and grass supplies, and they come here relying on the courage of the moment. If they don’t get a response, they will be blown away with one blow, and then they will decline. It will be even better! Our army is big! But take advantage of the cold weather and open the city gates, and wipe out all the Huns who invade in the future!"

After listening to Lin Feixing's words, Li Mu's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the kneeling upright boy in amazement. Seeing the determination in his eyes and hearing the firmness in his words, Li Mu never thought: A young man who is only 17 years old actually has such... such skills and heart!

Li Mu looked at Lin Feixing, and memories poured out like a tide, and the cycle of time seemed to make everything overlap.

Li Mu remembered that three years ago, he was also in this big tent.

Kneeling in front of him was a half-grown child who was dressed in rags and was emaciated.The child was also like today, kneeling upright in front of him, with a stubborn expression on his face, telling the whole story of the murder of his whole village in a gentle and low voice, without shedding a single tear.

It was precisely because Li Mu didn't see a single tear on the face of the 14-year-old boy that he decided to take him in.

Now time reincarnates, and in a blink of an eye, three years of time pass by in a hurry.

Three years later, the half-grown child had grown into a teenager. He knelt in front of him and told himself in a firm and decisive tone that he wanted to: kill all the horses of the Huns, burn all the food and grass of the Huns, and annihilate the soldiers of the Huns , Detain the women and children of the Huns!Even, to destroy the existence of the Huns.

Li Mu naturally knew that what Lin Feixing said was true. To deal with a barbarian nation like the Huns, annihilation or fundamental damage can be stable for many years, but...

At Li Mu's age, he can already see a more distant future...

So far, Li Mu and Lin Feixing have obvious policy differences regarding the military affairs in the northern border.

But Li Mu is old, and the hero is late.

Especially after being beaten with a hundred army sticks, Li Mu even thought of quitting.

Li Mu chose Lin Feixing as his successor after thousands of choices, and carefully taught and cultivated him.

Even if it went back two years, Li Mu would not agree to Lin Feixing's plan.

But now Li Mu already has the intention to let Lin Feixing succeed him, and Li Mu also wants to see what kind of future Lin Feixing will have in the north if he follows his approach.

Li Mu still wants to hold on for another three to five or seven years. If Lin Feixing's plan fails this time or the effect is not good, he can correct him from the sidelines. If the effect is good, he can also use this to see Lin Feixing's true ability!

After thinking this through, Li Mu nodded.
