Chapter 492 Yu Ziling's Speculation
Yu Ziling thought for a moment and said,
"If I were Tong Xuan, based on the two previous attempts to divide our forces for defense in the northern border, and this time in Xuzhou County, I would know that dividing our forces is a dead end.
I would make two choices.
First, he personally led an army of 300,000 to fight our army in the field, engaging in the largest-scale legion battle, burning our boats and crossing the river to decide the outcome.
Second, escape. Leave a part of the army to cover your retreat, and escape with the elite troops. He definitely cannot escape to the east, because to the east is the sea, and to the south is the State of Wei. He can only run to the west.
After entering the desolate Liang Kingdom, there were not many people and soldiers there. Our army was still at the border, so we ran directly to the small country in the west of Liang Kingdom, recruited soldiers, and attacked cities and seized land.
However, I don’t know if Tong Xuan has the strategic thinking and courage. Does he want to fight to the death and die as an emperor, or does he want to save his life and try to make a comeback?
But a defensive battle is not feasible. It would be too damaging to morale. Letting us first break through the camp, then the city, chase him all over the city and kill him, and finally capture him alive, subjecting him to humiliation and then execution by slow slicing, is not the best option."
Yu Ziling's words made everyone nod in agreement.
Shen Changgong looked at Gongsun Wan'er and asked,
"Wan'er, Tong Xuan is still in the city, right? He's not a substitute, right?"
"Yes, he's confirmed to be in the city. One of our Skynet spies has become his "royal guard" to guard the gate. I even saw him patrolling the city walls today."
"That's good. Keep watching. Send scouts outside the city to watch as well. If they dare to run, send the Zhennan Army to chase them down."
"But... the enemy also has many scouts roaming around. If the scouts from both sides meet, they will definitely fight to the death."
Shen Changgong chuckled and said,
"What? Our scouts can't defeat them?"
Gongsun Wan'er pouted.
Shen Changgong continued,
"What Coach Yu said makes a lot of sense. We also need to be on guard against various situations. Let's leave it at that for today. We'll play tomorrow and follow the plan."
"As ordered!"
Everyone stood up and dispersed.
Shen Changgong also came out with his men.
After our Yu Shuai came out, she walked quickly to where the horse was tied. However, just as she untied the horse's reins, a big hand reached out from behind and hugged her in his arms.
"Where do you want to run to?"
Shen Changgong's voice came from behind.
Yu Ziling blushed slightly and said,
"When would I run away? After the discussion, I naturally have to return to the camp to deploy troops. Is there anything else your Highness would like to order?"
"I don't deserve your order. General Yu has made great contributions this time. I want him to receive the reward."
Yu Ziling turned around, but her waist was still held. She looked at the handsome face so close to her, her eyes sparkling as she said,
"If it's the kind of reward I'm thinking of, then it's totally unnecessary. Your Highness, there's no need for a reward."
"That won't do. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. As a commander, you must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments."
"Oh? Could it be that the prince also rewards other soldiers in this way?"
Yu Ziling had a wicked smile on her face.
"This king is not interested in men."
"Tsk, then it's not you who's rewarding me, it's me who's rewarding you."
"Then please give me the reward, Mr. Yu."
Shen Changgong directly took her little hand and walked towards his tent.
Yu Ziling sighed, her face slightly red. It seemed that even if she had made great contributions, she could not escape the fate of being picked on.
After arriving in the tent, they sat together to eat.
Yu Ziling took off her armor, looking relaxed. She shook her ponytail heroically and sat next to Shen Changgong.
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"General Yu has given me a big surprise this time. Your talent is truly astonishing."
"Tsk, I'm so powerful in so many ways. I even killed the enemy commander myself."
"Mighty General Yu, it seems I did not choose the wrong person. However, this will only happen once. If it happens again, I will see how I will deal with you."
Yu Ziling was surprised when she heard this.
"Is it wrong for me to win the battle?"
"I'm not talking about winning the battle, I'm talking about you challenging the enemy commander in single combat.
The enemy commander has been cornered and faced certain death, yet you insist on challenging him in a duel? Are you trying to show off your abilities? Are you trying to flaunt your martial arts prowess?
Hearing this, Yu Ziling also became angry and put down her chopsticks and said,
"I've only just taken charge of the army, and this is my first battle. How can I establish my authority if I don't kill an enemy general with my own abilities?
Do I have to let others always say that I am a weak woman, a vase? Then others will be convinced by me in a superficial way.
A beautiful battle can only prove my brain, but a duel with the enemy commander can prove my martial arts.
Only a commander who is both civil and military can gain the respect of others.
You don't understand me at all, and you just know how to be mean to me."
After saying that, Yu Ziling turned around angrily.
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"How could I be so mean to you? Don't you think that if it were a normal battle, you could fight the enemy general in single combat?
But in your situation, the enemy has been forced into a desperate situation. He knows that he is doomed to die, so he has only one idea, which is to drag you to death with him.
Once a person has the will to die, he will burst out with several times the fighting power. Even if it means he will die, he will find a way to drag you to death with him. This is different from a duel between generals in front of two armies.
One person fighting desperately is no match for ten people.
Even a trapped beast will still fight, let alone a human?
It doesn't matter if he dies, he deserves to die anyway.
But what about you? You're clearly already victorious, yet you still insist on challenging the enemy in single combat? What if something happens to you? What will become of your army? What do you expect me to do?
You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and you are my woman. Your life is more valuable than anyone else's, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Yu Ziling's expression improved a little. She knew that Shen Changgong was concerned about her.
She forced herself to suppress the smile on her lips and snorted coldly,
"What are you going to do? After I die, let Hongying take over the army, and you can go find another woman.
What? The world is going to be in vain without me?"
"How can it be the same? Does Hongying have the ability to command alone? Will those Qi people obey her?
And to me, you are irreplaceable by any other woman. There are many women in this world, but there is only one Yu Ziling."
Yu Ziling's mouth corners became harder and harder to suppress. She looked away and snorted coldly.
"Tsk, you only know how to lie to me with sweet words. Who knows what you are thinking?"
"It seems like I really have to deal with you. You're getting more and more arrogant and even dare to disobey me."
Shen Changgong stood up, picked up Yu Ziling, and walked into the bedroom.
That night, the Queen of Da Qi screamed miserably.
