Happy Emperor

Huang Tianba is indeed a talented general. Just five days have passed.

The good news kept coming back to Shangjing.

Although the Beihuan cavalry had not been completely captured, they had been broken into small forces.

At this moment, he is fleeing around the northern area of ​​Ningfeng Province.

Huang Tianba tried every possible way, but still couldn't completely eliminate it.

He could only temporarily block the escape route of the Beihuan cavalry and return to Shangjing to discuss the next plan with Lin Tian.

Shangjing Provincial Office, inside the main hall.

After Lin Tianhe exchanged some pleasantries with the returning generals.

He ordered people to spread the map of Ningfeng Province on the ground.

"My dear ministers, please take a seat!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he sat down next to the map.

The generals themselves were all rough men, although they didn't know what Emperor Li wanted to do.

But seeing that the emperor was not so particular, they naturally came over and formed a circle around the map.

Lin Tian glanced at the dusty generals.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Huang Tianba and asked with a smile, "Tianba, I heard that you almost captured the Beihuan Wolf Lord alive several times?"

When Huang Tianba heard Emperor Li's question, he touched his head naively and said.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Huan Wolf Lord's warhorse is too good. If my horse hadn't been unable to catch up, he would have been killed by my sword long ago."

When it comes to war horses, Huang Tianba is like a hungry man seeing a young woman.

He added, "That warhorse has a big butt, shiny fur, and most importantly, all five legs are very strong!"

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Lin Tian also laughed along.

After laughing, Lin Tian said seriously: "Don't worry, we in Daxia will have horses like this sooner or later."

All the generals' eyes lit up after hearing this and they looked straight at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian felt a little scared when he saw it.

Fortunately, there was no soap in ancient times, otherwise Lin Tian would have run away.

"Your Majesty, is what you said true?"

A young general asked Lin Tian with his voice trembling with excitement.

The appeal of horses to men in ancient times was similar to the appeal of cars to men today.

Especially these generals fighting on the battlefield.

A good warhorse is a magical tool for achieving great success.

"I'm not kidding, but you must capture the Northern Huan Wolf Lord alive."

Lin Tian took the opportunity to encourage everyone.

"Why capture the Wolf Lord alive? Can't we just kill him directly?" Huang Tianba asked in a low voice.

"Exchange him for an uncastrated stallion!" Lin Tian replied unhappily.

In ancient times, all horses sent to the battlefield had to be castrated.

Firstly, it is to prevent the enemy from exploiting the excellent breeds, and most importantly, it is to prevent the horses from going into estrus and affecting the battle.

"Then we really have to keep the Beihuan Wolf Lord alive to go with the horse!"

Huang Tianba also understood the emperor's meaning at this moment.

He hurriedly said to the generals: "You all pay attention to me, don't hurt my stallion, otherwise I will never let you go."

When the generals heard this, no one dared to say a word.

These days they all finally understood this bad temper of his.

Lin Tian listened and smiled without saying anything.

After a while, Lin Tiancai changed the topic to business.

"Now, regardless of your rank, anyone can share your ideas on how to eliminate these fleeing Northern Huan cavalry."

Lin Tian wants to use brainstorming.

Let them all express their opinions. These people are experts when it comes to ancient warfare.

"Surround them. Your Majesty, send another 100,000 soldiers from Shengjing. I guarantee that not a single Beihuan cavalryman will escape."

Huang Tianba spoke first.

"Bullshit! I don't know this method yet."

Originally, brainstorming should be a time for everyone to share everything they know, but Huang Tianba was really infuriating.

Who doesn't know this fucking human wave tactic?

The main reason is that Lin Tian doesn’t have that many soldiers.

Even if there are any, they have to be used to deal with King Pingdong. How could they be deployed to Ningfeng Province?

When everyone heard Emperor Li scolding Huang Tianba, none of the generals who were about to speak dared to speak again.

Emperor Li's temper seems to be quite normal.

I was just chatting and laughing with them, how come they turned against me so suddenly?

Lin Tian also felt that he seemed to have violated the principles of brainstorming just now.

After coughing a few times, he said, "Huang Tianba's idea is good, but..."

"I said this is fine."

Huang Tianba smiled happily when he heard that the emperor had said his idea was good.

After Lin Tian glared at him coldly, he stopped talking.

"I would like to add that this time we will find a solution within the existing military strength of Ningfeng Province."

"Let's speak freely this time."

"I have an idea, but I don't know if I should mention it."

The young general just now looked at Lin Tian tentatively and asked.

"Say!"

"I have said that I will tell you everything I know, and I will never punish anyone, regardless of whether their ideas are good or bad."

"One word! 'Consume!'"

"As long as we keep chasing them and don't give the Northern Huan cavalry a chance to catch their breath, they will surrender sooner or later due to lack of supplies!"

After hearing this, all the generals nodded.

This is indeed a good idea.

Most of the Northern Huan cavalry had been wiped out by them and were unable to organize an effective counterattack.

As long as time goes on, these cavalrymen will surrender sooner or later.

Another benefit of doing this is that it minimizes casualties on our side.

Lin Tian did not express his opinion, his expression was somewhat solemn.

This method is okay, but he doesn't have much time to waste on it.

Although we have not yet received news of King Pingdong's attack.

But maybe the King of Pingdong would have launched a northern expedition that day.

If by that time there are still Beihuan forces in Ningfeng Province.

Then the influence of this force will be infinitely magnified.

If he fails to handle it properly, it will lead to his complete failure in the war with King Pingdong.

"Does anyone have any other ideas?" Lin Tian asked again.

"General Huang Xu, do you have any good ideas?"

Lin Tian noticed that Huang Xu wanted to speak several times, but he didn't make any suggestions.

I simply called on him to share his opinion.

"I, the old minister, do have a solution."

When General Huang Xu heard Emperor Li calling him directly, he could only bite the bullet and say, "But this method is a bit risky."

"Say!"

"Haven't you heard? The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"

"Then I, the old minister, will speak frankly!"

Huang Xu said, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it is better to attrition than to block, and it is better to release than to attrition."

When Lin Tian heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Tell me, old general, how should we do this 'Shu'?"

"Get a big pocket!"

"Move the vast majority of the soldiers to the mountain range where Beihuan and Ningfeng Province meet and hide them there, forming a 'pocket' formation."

"As long as the Beihuan cavalry wants to leave, they will be trapped and unable to escape!"

"No! Nephew, don't you want to care about the emperor's life or death?"

Huang Tianba immediately objected after hearing this: "If we deploy the large pocket formation you mentioned, most of Ningfeng Province's troops will have to participate. If the Beihuan cavalry suddenly rushes back to Shangjing, wouldn't the emperor be in great danger?"

"Uncle, what I'm criticizing is that I wasn't thoughtful enough!"

Huang Xu immediately admitted his mistake.

In fact, the reason why he didn't say anything just now was because of this reason.

"This plan is feasible!" Lin Tian said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, but..."

"Huang Tianba, let me ask you this! What would happen if a bird in a cage suddenly found someone opening the cage one day?"

"He'll fly out of the cage!"

Huang Tianba replied immediately.

"Those Beihuan cavalrymen are now like a flock of birds!"

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled: "As long as we open the cage, they will want to fly away immediately!"
