Chapter 321 Reverse Psychology
As Song Yuan's voice gradually fell, everyone in the audience suddenly fell silent.
Everyone fell silent, wondering in their minds whether what Song Yuan said was true.
It has to be said that after Song Yuan's analysis, everyone can see the pros and cons.
If we deal with Mohai City alone, no matter whether we fail or succeed in the end, the benefits we can gain will be far greater than other methods!
More importantly, the difficulty of accomplishing this is countless times easier than confronting the barbarian army head-on!
On one side are 30,000 troops in the eyes of outsiders, most of whom are just filler soldiers.
The other side has nearly 100,000 elite cavalry. Even a fool would know what to choose.
More importantly, Song Yuan had defeated the barbarians three times before. In the eyes of the barbarians, he was like a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.
It's no surprise that they want to deal with him.
After all, blood debt must be repaid with blood, and only Song Yuan can wash away the shame of that time.
Only by destroying Song Yuan can morale be increased to the greatest extent!
Even if it was because of personal grudges, the possibility of targeting Song Yuan was much greater than confronting the Zhenbei Army head-on!
The high priest must be so eager to tear Song Yuan apart that he naturally has motives to deal with him!
And now, the desperate attitude displayed by the barbarians is simply a kind of doubt, just to make everyone think that they have completely given up this time!
But in fact, how could the barbarians possibly want to suffer mutual destruction with the Qin Dynasty?
After all, the Qin side still has reinforcements after the spring, but the barbarians have nothing. The backup plans of the two sides are completely unequal. The atmosphere created now is a trap in itself!
They clearly wanted to target Song Yuan, completely avenge their previous humiliation, and use Song Yuan's blood to boost everyone's morale!
After some analysis, everyone nodded and agreed with Song Yuan's statement at this moment.
"I think your analysis is very likely. What you said before should be the real plan of the barbarians!"
"Yes, I think so too. We have caused the barbarians to suffer heavy losses many times. How could they miss such a great opportunity to deal with us?"
"As the saying goes, all is fair in war; the greatest effect can be achieved by taking the enemy by surprise. This must be what the barbarians were thinking!"
"They initially targeted the left wing because of its unique geographical location. Now they have absolutely no reason to abandon their original plan. It's clear they're misleading everyone in order to complete their final plan!"
For a moment, the generals present frowned slightly, feeling that what Song Yuan said might very likely become a reality in the future.
With the wisdom of General Wei, without Song Yuan's guidance, he probably would not have thought of this at all!
And this is exactly what the barbarians are looking forward to!
You know, even the many generals present would probably still be in the dark if it weren't for Song Yuan's reminder.
How could those high-ranking officials of the Zhenbei Army easily see through the tricks of the barbarians?
As everyone's thoughts became clearer, a strong sense of crisis surged over them. If the barbarians' breakthrough point was really on the left wing, they would most likely face an attack from the barbarians like jackals, tigers and leopards!
In this situation, how should the entire Mohai City deal with it?
What exactly should we do to avoid losses to the greatest extent possible and make the barbarians pay the corresponding price?
Considering this, Situ Jing clenched her fists fiercely: "If those barbarians really dare to come, the worst that can happen is that we will defend the city firmly. No matter how much he talks, we will not leave the city!"
"I just don't believe it. Facing such a natural barrier, we just need to hold out for a while. When General Wei comes to our aid, the barbarians will surely be driven away immediately!"
As she said this, Situ Jing's face showed a hint of decisiveness.
After all, Song Yuan is the backbone of the group, but if the city is broken, Song Yuan will probably be the first person to lose his life.
If he died here, all the bold words Song Yuan had promised before would be in vain.
If you can't even save your life, how can you talk about rising up in rebellion?
However, Situ Jing's statement was immediately questioned by Song Yuan.
"If we just stay in the city, it may not be a good thing. The barbarians have only one choice, and that is to turn around and ambush General Wei on his way!"
"So the casualties were those of General Wei's men, but as the saying goes, 'When the lips are gone, the teeth are cold.' You all understand this principle. Now, forced by the situation, we are now on the same boat with that guy. We prosper together and suffer together. No one can escape!"
"This……"
Hearing Song Yuan's words, Situ Jing's expression suddenly froze, and a dull look appeared in her pupils.
You can't run away, and you can't fight.
If they defend the city, they will betray their allies.
In this case, what choice should I make?
Is it possible that I can only watch helplessly as cannon fodder?
How do we fight this battle?
"What exactly is your plan? Having said that, are you still going to hide it from everyone?"
For a moment, Situ Jing couldn't help but complain, and glared at Song Yuan fiercely while speaking.
This bastard had clearly figured out a solution a long time ago.
But he chose not to tell the truth, it was obvious that he wanted to make fun of everyone!
Realizing that Situ Jing was on the verge of a rage, Song Yuan slowly responded in order to take her emotions into consideration.
"Actually, if you ask me, the best way to deal with this is to combine all the methods you mentioned and adapt to the situation!"
"If General Wei really wants to encircle us, we will immediately cooperate. However, it won't be a real attack, just a feint!"
"If the barbarians really attack us, we will defend the city, but we won't defend it to the death!"
"As long as they dare to turn around, we will immediately leave the city and send a small group of troops to harass them. That way, they will have no chance of setting up an ambush right under our noses!"
"We don't need to fight. The only thing we need to do is to buy time. Believe me, the barbarians are more anxious than us!"
"At this point, they can't hold out for much longer. As long as we can hold out until the very end, the barbarians will have only one choice left: to retreat from the Peacock River in defeat!"
"Wouldn't this fulfill my previous statement that they should give up everything they had and return to their own territory?"
When Song Yuan said this, everyone's faces showed excitement for a moment.
After analysis, the method Song Yuan mentioned is very likely.
Situ Jing raised her eyebrows excitedly: "Although our method sounds like a dog-skin plaster as described by you, I have to say it really works!"
"As long as we keep pestering the barbarians without confronting them head-on, they won't be able to hold out for long with all the food they have!"
Today's barbarians have been pushed to the limit, slaughtering war horses just to meet the consumption of the troops.
But even so, they definitely won't be able to hold on for long!
Facing the praise from those around him, Song Yuan nodded calmly and said, "This is why I said before that it's not difficult to make them withdraw their troops, but the difficult part is how to make them pay the corresponding price!"
"They killed tens of thousands of our compatriots. I will never be at peace until I bite off a piece of flesh from them!"
At the end, there was a hint of regret on Song Yuan's face.
It's like you caught a thief in your home, but in the end, the thief acted even more arrogant than you.
But you can't do anything to the other person and can only watch him turn around and leave.
Who can be willing to have this feeling?
However, the people around him did not think so. Noticing the obsession in Song Yuan's heart, many generals immediately spoke up to dissuade him.
"Your Highness, what you said is a bit wrong. Those barbarians slaughtered many war horses, which is a heavy loss. They returned empty-handed, and I'm afraid they are more upset than anyone else. In a way, it can be considered revenge for our brothers!"
"That's right, Your Highness. Besides, when they launched their massive attack, they paid a greater price than we did. In the end, they made no progress at all, which is already a punishment for them!"
"Your Highness, please don't worry about it. Being able to cause the greatest harm to the barbarians with the least loss is already a great achievement. Nothing is perfect!"
Everyone was talking at once, hoping that Song Yuan could be more open-minded.
But in the face of so many statements, Song Yuan's expression suddenly darkened.
He waved his hand and said firmly, "No, absolutely not. If I let the barbarians go so easily, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
"I can't rest easy until they lose a few pieces of flesh. I have to find a way to do this!"
Seeing Song Yuan's attitude, everyone's face showed an expression of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Which other general is like Song Yuan?
Just like the great general, facing the barbarians who are coming in full force, he probably doesn't even have time to worry about it.
How can I even think about how to take revenge?
As a result, when it came to Song Yuan, he failed to achieve his wish by just repelling the enemy, and he even wanted to bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh!
If this matter were to reach the ears of General Wei, he would probably die of grief and anger!
"Okay, if you insist on being so stubborn, no one can persuade you. But before you come up with a solution, can you make a decision first?"
Seeing Song Yuan's conflicted expression, Situ Jing approached him with a hint of helplessness, "Should we report the news we discussed earlier to General Wei?"
"Of course not tell him!" Song Yuan blinked and responded immediately.
"You know, that old dog sees us as a thorn in his side. He'll spare no effort when facing barbarians, unless he has any other options. If he knew we were confident and had even made plans, who would know what tricks he'd pull?"
"Besides, how can acting be as real as reality? What if that old man's acting is not good enough, and the barbarians see through us, then all our preparations will be wasted."
Facing Song Yuan's words, Situ Jing nodded immediately: "Hearing you put it this way, I think it's true. That old gang is targeting us everywhere. If they really knew our plan, who knows where they would dig a hole for us to jump into!"
"Just don't tell him and let him worry about it. It's a good thing to make him angry!"
Song Yuan nodded in agreement, but waved at Situ Jing the next second.
"Then hurry up and get ready. Next, let's go to Zhenbei City!"
Such an arrangement could not help but arouse Situ Jing's suspicion: "Didn't you say before? We didn't tell General Wei about our previous plan. Why are we going to Zhenbei City now?"
"Don't forget, the premise of our previous plan is that General Wei is willing to attack by force! If he doesn't cooperate in this regard, no matter how much we say before, it will be in vain in the end!"
Song Yuan patiently explained, "This time, if you come with me, I'll give him a reason to force the attack! That way, that Wei guy will be forced to make his own choice according to our previous plan!"
Give General Wei a reason?
How can Song Yuan achieve this goal?
After hearing what Song Yuan said, everyone present looked at him with a little more curiosity.
Song Yuanquan did not hide anything and told everything he was thinking.
"It's nothing more than taking advantage of the general's rebellious psychology. When the time comes, I will give him advice and ask him to hold the city firmly and delay the battle!"
"Given General Wei's personality, he will definitely go against me. Even if it's just for his own pride, he will definitely choose to attack!"
"You kid, you really have counted everyone out!" Upon hearing Song Yuan say this, Situ Jing immediately covered her mouth and laughed.
Song Yuan clearly understood the vital point of General Wei.
In this way, although it is impossible to command General Wei, it is entirely possible to make the other party do as Song Yuan predicted.
Thinking of the last sentence, Situ Jing couldn't help laughing, and urged Song Yuan instead.
"Then what are you still standing here for? Let's go!"
