Mo Chuan naturally understood what Shen Ning said, but he summoned the ministers and wanted them to work together to come up with ways to deal with Chu Shaoyang and the Nanyue army. Teach him how not to be angry with his surrender remarks
"Ning'er, you are right. If they surrender to Chu Shaoyang, he will still be their prime minister and minister, and may be promoted to another level. No matter how much they will suffer! But everyone can surrender, but I can't surrender. ! Since he wants to fight, I will fight! I have sent three groups of elite troops to meet the enemy today, one to guard Shuanglu for reinforcements, one to guard Yuezhou, and all the way to retake Nanguan. If Shuanglu falls, they will be next! What we need to capture is Yuezhou, and Yuezhou is only 800 miles away from Kyoto. If Shuanglu falls, I will do my best to defend Yuezhou. No matter what, I cannot let the South Vietnamese army approach the city and endanger the safety of my mother and the people of Kyoto! "
Shen Ning muttered: "Although I don't understand the art of war, I have heard a saying that it is better to divide and conquer than to unite as one. Now that Nanguan has been lost, Chu Shaoyang's troops have just captured Nanguan, and their morale has been greatly boosted. If you send a group of troops to seize Nanguan, it must be very difficult. If you fail to seize the pass, it will lower the morale of the soldiers. It is better to unite these three groups of troops and go to Shuanglu to support, defend Shuanglu, and control Follow the progress of the South Vietnamese army."
Mo Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he struck each other with his palms, making a crisp sound.
"Yes, Ning'er, what you said is a wonderful method. Why didn't I think of it? Yes, yes. It is better to unite as one than to divide and conquer. This is exactly the truth. The so-called separation of strength makes us weak. I just want to take back Nanguan. But forgot this key.”
He immediately became energetic, picked up his pen and wrote an imperial edict, summoned the secret guards, and ordered the three groups of people to be sent immediately.
Shen Ning's eyes flashed, and she suddenly said: "How about you also give me an imperial decree and let me help guard Shuanglu?"
Mo Chuan laughed, shook his head and said: "This is no joke. Marching and fighting have always been men's business. If you, a woman, are asked to go into battle to kill the enemy, you can just stay in the palace with me." I, your thinking is clearer than mine, and I still have a lot of things that I need you to analyze for me.”
He was in a good mood now and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it will take a while to win this battle. Chu Shaoyang is leading the army this time, and he is accompanied by the second prince of Nanyue Kingdom. I heard that these two princes are brave and good at fighting, so A rare general, but as long as you are by my side to help me make plans, and the two military books written by you, it doesn't matter if I lose the battle ahead, as long as I am not in chaos despite the defeat, I can fight a few more tough battles , The one standing at the end is the winner!”
Shen Ning smiled and said: "You also said that there are no generals in the court. Aren't you a general yourself? Even if you lose, you will not be in trouble. This is the style of a general. You don't think about winning, but think about defeat first. You have already calculated that you will lose in the future. But as long as our troops and horses can withstand the strong attack of the South Vietnam country, the morale of the South Vietnam army will be greatly damaged. The art of war goes like this: make a strong effort, then weaken again, and then exhaust it three times. As long as they cannot attack Shuanglu for a long time, the courage of the soldiers will be reduced. It will be reduced to the extreme, but our army is very courageous, and the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road, so it will not be difficult to defeat the South Vietnamese army. "
Her words made Mo Chuan feel even more at ease, and the gloom was swept away.
