Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1705

The candlelight in the tent flickered suddenly, and half of Cen Yuan's face was as cold and hard as iron. He tapped the edge of the sand table with his fingertips, and the wooden tower of Guicheng collapsed.

He crushed the tower model, and sawdust fell from his fingers. "Do you really think that I would mess up the situation for a few pawns? Or do you think that I chose to attack Guicheng at that time in order to act like a god and save you from danger?"

He poured cold water on the fantasies of several people and said, "It's just that the battle plan happened to be adjusted and we need to attack the city."

Ma Chuyang staggered back and knocked over the weapons rack.

He looked at Cen Yuan in disbelief. "First, sir, no, the commander is saying that if we don't need to attack the city, you will abandon us?"

"What else?" Cen Yuan was extremely cold-blooded. "Who do you think you are?"

Ma Chuyang cried bitterly. He had always thought that his position in the master's heart was different, but he did not expect that he was just a pawn.

The candlelight flickered, and half of Cen Yuan's face was hidden in the shadows. He threw a scroll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and threw it in front of everyone.

The bamboo slips were unfolded, revealing densely packed handwriting.

"This is your original plan." Cen Yuan picked up the scabbard on the table and pointed at a few lines. "You are the vanguard army, and your mission is to explore the defenses in the city. But you changed your mind on the first night you arrived in Guicheng and added a mission to yourselves!"

The deployment was not announced, and I was just having fun.

I was so moved by myself that I offered sacrifices to the generals, the soldiers and the people!

If Wei Yuzhi and Wu Qicheng had acted as they did and burned the food and supplies of the Wan reinforcements before the main force closed in, their bodies would have been left exposed in the wilderness by now, with no one to collect them.

If Xing Mingyue and Zhao Zhui also disregarded military discipline and failed to return to the camp to report the enemy situation and reinforcements as planned, then attacking Guicheng would be just a pipe dream.

By then, the Wan Kingdom's cavalry from the east and west would surround their northern wing royal army, making it extremely difficult to break out, let alone attack Guicheng.

By then, Emperor Mingde's army had not recaptured a single city and all of them had died outside Guicheng.

Cen Yuan split the table with his palm, and wood chips flew everywhere. "History will record, 'In the summer of the 20th year of Mingde, the king's army of 100,000 men died in Guicheng before they could capture a single city'; the historians will write, 'The general of Weibei was greedy for merit and advanced recklessly, causing the gates to the northern border to be wide open'!"

This is the real joke in history!

Everyone's face suddenly changed, and they all held their breath, sweating profusely.

How could they not understand that a general should avoid changing his plans during a battle?

The vanguard is like a pawn in a game of chess. If you make a wrong move, you lose the whole game.

Cen Yuan stood up, grabbed the red flag on the sand table and thrust it into the messy sand table model of Guicheng. The sound of cloth tearing made people's teeth ache. "Then what? The envoy of Wan State will take advantage of this momentum, take our army's seal and travel around to win over other countries, and directly attack the capital."

The northern wing will be doomed.

Tang Xinghe's heart broke when he heard this.

Before he finished, Cen Yuan asked coldly, "When the coalition forces of various countries reach Bixia Pass, guess what will happen to the North Wing?"

He grabbed Tang Xinghe's hand and pressed it on the sand table. The young man's palm was immediately pierced by the battlement model and blood was dripping. "Can you afford the price of acting without authorization?"

Think it's just a small mistake or decision? Sometimes it affects the entire battle situation.

What does it mean that military orders are as heavy as a mountain? What does it mean that soldiers should obey orders as their first duty?

Cen Yuan was so angry that she sat back in her chair and threw the bloody defense map directly at Tang Xinghe's face. "Tell me, is your defense map still useful?"

Tang Xinghe's face was knocked to the side by the defense map.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. He turned his head again, staring at Cen Yuan, his voice hoarse like the friction of sand and stone, "It's... I was wrong."

That is a fear that comes from deep in my heart.

If it weren't for the "need for siege", he would have killed all members of the vanguard, including himself.
