The official who made the suggestion immediately looked ashamed and lowered his head without saying a word.
Just listen to the big man say again: "Although what happened this time is a bit unexpected, in the final analysis, the people sent out underestimated the enemy and were too careless."
All the officials were thinking: "Do we need to be careful? Not at all, right?"
But no one dared to say it.
Because they had already seen the result of carelessness, that is, the entire army was annihilated, leaving no one alive.
Of course, the people they sent to investigate came back and reported that only a few people died at the hands of the imperial guards, and most of them committed suicide by taking poison.
But if it was not the last resort, why would they commit suicide by taking poison
This shows that they all fell into each other's hands, and they had no choice but to take poison for fear of leaking the secret.
The reason why these dead soldiers are called dead soldiers is because they have sold their lives to their masters long ago. The lives of most of their family members are in the hands of their masters. If they do not die, their families will die.
"I made a mistake when talking about this matter. I underestimated that woman too much. I should have thought that with this woman here, all impossible things would become possible." The big man said slowly.
He looked at something outside the hall with a thoughtful expression, as if he had remembered something.
All the officials were curious, but no one dared to ask.
"So our next actions must be carefully planned." The big man withdrew his gaze, sat down on the main seat, took a sip of tea, and took a sip.
His every move was so calm, and he obviously didn't take this defeat to heart, which made the officials' hearts drop to their stomachs.
But all the officials remained silent, and no one dared to speak.
Firstly, they really can’t come up with any good ideas, and secondly, they make many mistakes, so it’s better to remain silent.
"Have the people sent to check it out? Where are they now?" The big man took another sip of tea.
"My lord, we have already checked, and they... went back again." An official stood up and said cautiously.
"Go back? What do you mean?" The big man frowned slightly.
"Going back, the thirty of them escorted Lin Fangyuan back to the girl named Shen, and did not continue to escort her to Beijing." The official did not dare to speak loudly.
Hearing the news, it was not just the big shot who didn't understand, but all the officials present.
They all looked blank.
The big shot was the quickest to react among them.
"Oh, it turned out to be a trick to lure the snake out of its hole." He continued in a calm tone.
The officials were puzzled and all looked at him.
The big shots didn’t explain much.
Because this matter was indeed his mistake. He underestimated Shen Ning's wisdom and underestimated the enemy too much.
Only now did he realize that the other party had no intention of using these thirty imperial guards to escort Lin Fangyuan from the beginning. They were just using them as bait.
"Huh, what a trick." The big man snorted again.
Although it was because of his underestimation of the enemy and his mistakes, it did not affect the overall situation.
No matter how smart the other party is, they can't play many tricks.
Because the other party is in the light and he is in the dark.
It was clear at a glance how many troops the opponent had. As long as he thought about it, he could destroy the opponent to the point where nothing was left.
"This time, we don't need a thousand people, five hundred people are enough." The big man had already thought of a clever plan.
