Seeing Wei Qingyun come in, the young men of the Jin generation hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Wei Qingyun smiled and waved his hand.

He admired these young men of the Jin generation very much, especially today's battle. If Song Jinchun had not acted decisively and shot Lu Huer with an arrow, making him angry, the encirclement and suppression campaign they had planned for so long would have failed.

He knew that these people were new recruits from the Xishan Camp in the capital, but he didn't know that they actually knew the eldest princess and seemed to be very familiar with her.

But now was not the time to ask questions. He smiled and waved at them, then strode to the center of the tent, straightened his back, bowed to Song Jinxiu, and said in a clear voice: "Wei Qingyun of the 18th Dingguo Army pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The eldest princess?

The younger generations of the Jin generation were a little confused.

Shouldn’t it belong to Princess Kangle?

The young patriarch of their family was promoted again?

Su Chuan frowned: "What an arrogant and rude young general! Your father would pay homage to the master when he saw him, and you don't even bend your waist."

Song Jinxiu didn't care about these things. This was a battlefield, and the young general was wearing armor, so it was understandable that he didn't salute.

She glanced at Wei Qingyun and asked, "Young General Wei, you look so happy, but what's the good news?"

Wei Qingyun straightened his back and said proudly, "Your Highness, in today's battle, twenty elephant soldiers were seriously injured and three were killed, including the leader elephant. This is a great victory, so I am very happy."

Big win?

Song Jinxiu frowned and asked, "How many casualties did the 18th Dingguo Army suffer?"

Wei Qingyun said: "As many as five thousand people were killed or wounded."

Song Jinxiu asked again: "How many enemy casualties were there?"

Wei Qingyun frowned, but still said loudly: "About a thousand people."

Song Jinxiu clenched the cup in her hand, stared into Wei Qingyun's eyes, and asked coldly, "Our army suffered over 5,000 casualties, while the enemy only suffered 1,000. General Wei, how did you calculate this victory?"

Wei Qingyun laughed heartily and said proudly, "Your Highness, have you overlooked the most important thing? In this battle, we killed three elephants and seriously injured twenty more. Even if these twenty elephants didn't die, they would have lost their combat effectiveness.

Your Highness, you have just arrived and may not understand, but even the main force of the Dingguo Army has never been able to inflict heavy damage on twenty-three elephants in a single battle. These are twenty-three elephants, how can I not be happy? "

"Snapped"

Song Jinxiu put down the cup heavily and glanced at Wei Qingyun, who still had a happy face. Her eyes became even colder.

"What? Is an elephant more precious than the lives of more than 200 of our Cangwu soldiers?

The deaths of these thousands of people only resulted in the casualties of twenty-three elephants, but in your eyes it was still a great victory!

As the commander-in-chief, you are still so complacent? General Wei, what do soldiers mean to you?

How can a person who treats human life as worthless be qualified to be the commander of an army?

Song Jinxiu was angry, and everyone held their breath, at a loss.

Wei Qingyun finally put away his smile and narrowed his eyes at Song Jinxiu. He knew that the eldest princess had come with bad intentions and was just looking for trouble.

He looked at Song Jinxiu unhappily, pointed in the direction of the capital, and said, "Your Highness, you live in the capital. Have you ever seen an elephant? Do you know anything about elephant soldiers?

Let me tell you this, let alone 200 casualties, even if it's 300, as long as we can destroy the elephant soldiers, I will use this human wave tactic with peace of mind."

Humph, a princess of a different surname, really thinks that being the eldest princess means she is truly a royal daughter?

Even if a real princess comes, I won’t be afraid.

Looking at this unruly young general, Song Jinxiu's face turned completely cold. She asked coldly: "Swapping thousands of casualties in exchange for the casualties of twenty-three elephants, do you think this is a victory?

Injuring one thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own is a cardinal sin in military operations. Don't you even understand this principle?"

Wei Qingyun was also angry. He grew up in a military camp. No matter what you say about him, you can say that he is capable of anything, but you cannot say that he does not know how to use troops.

"Your Highness, your words are more beautiful than your songs, but fighting a war is not something that can be won with just words. Facing such a huge force as the enemy army, is there any way to defeat the enemy without fighting?

"This fire attack method took me a month to come up with. Do you think harming an elephant is the same as killing a pig? If we don't use the human wave tactic to harm an elephant, what else can we use?"

He knew that this princess's military supervisor was not a good person, and was trying every possible way to find fault with their General Dingguo's Mansion.

Humph! If you provoke me, I'll quit. Whoever wants to defend Southern Xinjiang will do it, right?

He wanted to see whether the southern border could be defended without their General Dingguo's Mansion.

Song Jinxiu looked at his indignant expression and felt even more disappointed. Although she didn't want to clash with the Wei family at this time, this young General Wei was too conceited.

It's okay to be conceited as long as you have the ability, but she cannot tolerate not caring about the lives of soldiers.

She asked in a deep voice: "General Wei, I don't understand where your peace of mind comes from.

Also, the human wave tactics you mentioned are not used in this way.

The rule of employing troops is: if your force is ten times yours, surround it; if it is five times yours, attack it; if it is twice yours, divide it; if you are the enemy, fight it; if it is fewer, flee; if it is inferior, avoid it. This is the essence of human wave tactics.

Although this princess has never seen an elephant before, she fought with elephant soldiers today.

It is indeed a huge monster, and it is not easy to destroy it.

There is nothing wrong with using fire attack, but when using fire attack, you must deploy your troops reasonably. You only considered setting fire to the elephants. Have you ever thought about how the soldiers would retreat after setting fire to reduce your own casualties?

Also, if the fire spreads into the forest and starts a wildfire, have you considered the consequences? This is less than ten miles away, but it's Minhang County!"

Wei Qingyun's expression finally changed.

He hadn't considered this point, and at the time he was only focused on burning the elephant to death and gaining merit. With this achievement, he could go to Bobo Mountain and fight the main force of the King of Southern Xinjiang.

Wei Qingyun blushed, but when he saw Song Jinxiu's gloomy face, he became unconvinced again.

Why? A little girl is trying to lecture me? Does she know how to fight?

He stiffened his neck and said:

"Isn't there no wildfire? Besides, it rains every few days in southern Xinjiang, so even if there is a fire, it won't cause any harm."

After hearing Wei Qingyun's words, Song Jinxiu was completely disappointed. She gave him a cold look and ordered secretly: "Send a letter to General Wei to replace the commander of the 18th Route Army."

Wei Qingyun pointed at Song Jinxiu angrily and shouted, "How dare you?"

"presumptuous,"

Su Chuan couldn't bear it any longer, and went up and put the knife on Wei Qingyun's neck.

The young men of the Jin generation were stunned. This...

"Brother, what should we do?"

"What can we do? We'll do whatever the clan leader does!"

So, the young men of the Jin generation suddenly stepped forward and stood on Song Jinxiu's side in unison.

Wei Qingyun looked at these defecting subordinates in disbelief, "Don't forget, who is your commander?"
