Chapter 1252: Le Dynasty Strategy

Facing Wang Shu's cold gaze, the minister shuddered suddenly and quickly swallowed back the rest of his words.

"What? You want to hand Akiyama-kun over to the enemy?"

Wang Shu asked coldly.

"This……"

The minister was terrified. He glanced at Wang Chi secretly and shook his head again and again. "I don't want to hand Qiu Shanjun over to the enemy. What I mean is that the enemy is using this as an excuse to send troops. As long as we punish Qiu Shanjun and give the enemy an explanation, the enemy will have no reason to attack!"

He originally wanted to hand Akiyama-kun over to the enemy for disposal.

However, looking at Wang Shu's eyes, if he dared to say so, I'm afraid even the prince would not be able to protect him.

"It is definitely impossible to hand Akiyama-kun over to the enemy!"

"But if it's just about punishing someone, then we can consider it."

"Yeah, even if we're just pretending!"

"Yes, it's just a nominal punishment..."

For a time, many ministers followed suit.

However, a few people expressed opposition.

"Nonsense! The enemy was just looking for an excuse to attack. If we punish Akiyama-kun, will the enemy retreat? Are the enemy so easy to deal with?"

"That's right. If we punish Akiyama-kun, it will only make us look afraid of the enemy! It will also affect morale!"

"Even if we want to punish Akiyama-kun, we have to wait until we defeat the enemy!"

As these voices of opposition emerged, tensions gradually grew in the court.

One side supports punishing Qiu Shanjun to appease Yun Zheng's anger, while the other side is firmly opposed to this.

At first, the two sides were just bickering with each other, but later it escalated to the point of personal attacks.

"Shut up, everyone!"

After a long time, Wang Shu shouted violently.

As Wang Shu's voice rang out, all the ministers shut up.

However, the look in their eyes when they looked at each other was still of dissatisfaction.

It was as if he was going to fight as soon as he left the court.

After calming down the ministers, Wang Shu's eyes fell on Wang Chi again, "Do you also think that I should punish Qiu Shanjun to calm Yun Zheng's anger?"

Wang Chi shook his head without hesitation: "I think that even if you want to punish Qiu Shanjun, you should wait until the war is over! If you punish Qiu Shanjun now, his generals may be dissatisfied and rebel against the enemy!"

He could see that his father definitely didn't want to hand Qiu Shanjun over to Yun Zheng.

Maybe my father wants to use Akiyama-kun to restrain me.

The art of balance!

This old thing!

He may not be good at anything else, but he is a master at playing political games!

Wang Shu was quite satisfied with Wang Chi's answer.

In the past, he might have considered punishing Akiyama-kun.

But after seeing Wang Chi's ability to command the support of everyone today, there was absolutely no way he would punish Qiu Shanjun.

If Qiu Shanjun was convicted and Wang Chi had no scruples at all, the Li Dynasty would probably not know who had the final say!

"It makes sense!"

Wang Shu nodded slightly, "Let's not talk about punishing Qiu Shanjun for now! The most urgent task is how to defeat the enemy forces in Shangqing Road and drive them out of Shangqing Road?"

Wang Shu's words set the tone for this matter.

Faced with Wang Shu's question, the ministers couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

However, the enemy moved too quickly, they had no prior preparation, and they were short of manpower and had no good strategy to deal with it.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, a hint of anger flashed across Wang Shu's face.

waste!

A bunch of trash!

When they wanted him to punish Akiyama-kun, everyone spoke with good reason.

Now when it comes to strategies to repel the enemy, everyone has become speechless!

For a moment, he even wanted to kill a few people to make an example of the ministers in the court.

Fortunately, although Wang Shu was violent, he was not too stupid. He knew the disadvantages of killing ministers at this time, so he resisted the urge to kill.

"Sir Li, as the Minister of War, don't you have a plan to repel the enemy?"

Finally, Wang Shu set his sights on Li Xian.

Li Xian thought for a moment and replied, "I do have some ideas, which may work."

He is the Minister of War.

Anyone can be without a strategy to repel the enemy, but he cannot.

Even if we cannot repel the enemy, we must find a way to stabilize the situation.

"Say!"

The expression on Wang Shu's face finally improved slightly.

Li Xian: "Your Majesty, you can send the Xiongjin Navy to support Longqing Prefecture, and then order the Yujin Navy to support Heji via Linhai!"

"Wait for General Gao to lead his troops back, and then send General Gao to lead troops to rush to the tiger's mouth!"

"In this way, we can form a three-way pincer attack on the enemy forces!"

"If the enemy forces retreat in the face of difficulty, we will immediately advance and gradually push the enemy back to Lu'an Road!"

"As long as we can push the enemy back, our army can find an opportunity to completely defeat the enemy in Lu'an Road..."

Listening to Li Xian's plan, Wang Shu began to think silently in his heart.

This plan is feasible!

However, Wang Shu himself was not very familiar with military affairs and did not make a rash decision.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Shu asked again: "What if the enemy troops do not retreat?"

"Then we can advance in three directions!"

Li Xian replied: "Pingji doesn't have tall walls to defend, and the enemy doesn't have a favorable terrain! If our three armies attack Pingji together, the enemy will definitely not be able to resist! At that time, it is not impossible to annihilate the enemy! But..."

Having said this, Li Xian paused again.

"But what?"

Wang Shu asked.

Li Xian hesitated for a moment, then continued: "The enemy army was able to break through so many of our cities in a row, so their fighting power must be strong!"

"If the enemy engages in a fierce battle with our three armies in Pingji, our three armies may also suffer heavy losses."

"If this happens, I'm afraid our dynasty will be powerless in the future..."

Listening to Li Xian's words, many people nodded in agreement.

The enemy army broke through many of their cities in a short period of time, so there is no doubt about the enemy's combat effectiveness.

Once their three armies suffer heavy losses and the enemy attacks from behind, they may not have enough strength to fight against the enemy!

More importantly, after these three armies suffered heavy losses, Akiyama-kun might become the only one left in power!

This is a situation that many people do not want to see.

No one, including Wang Shu himself, wanted to see such a situation.

Wang Chi thought about it and immediately said, "Fighting the enemy in Pingji is a bad idea! I think we can order the troops in Luyi Prefecture and the gorge to make some noise, forcing the enemy in Shangqing Road to come back for support, and then force the enemy back to Lu'an Road, and then look for opportunities to defeat the enemy in Lu'an Road..."

As Wang Chi spoke, he began to analyze the current situation.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense!"

"We must defeat the enemy, but we must also conserve our strength!"

"Yes, the best strategy is to defeat the enemy at the lowest cost..."

Wang Chi's suggestion was supported by many people.

Wang Shu thought silently for a while, and then discussed the suggestions of Wang Chi and Li Xian with his ministers.

After discussing for a long time, everyone finally reached a consensus.

First, find a way to force the enemy back to Lu'an Road and reduce the enemy's space for movement!

Then, look for an opportunity in Lu'an Dao to defeat the invading enemy!

After the general direction was agreed upon, everyone began to discuss specific strategies...
