Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The decision to withdraw troops meant that Wanyan Tielu gave up the advantage they had fought so hard to regain in the early stage.

Now that I think about it, those so-called advantages are not really real.

If the Daqian troops had such thundering means, the 37 troops could gather and disperse at will, and the flood could flood down and subdue them at any time.

Showing weakness in the early stages may very well mean that there are other intentions.

The only option now is to wait for all the reinforcements to arrive.

When he had a million soldiers, he would station tens of thousands of troops along every route.

Even Ye Shoujiang would not be able to withstand it.

After thinking about this, Wanyan Tielu stopped being stubborn and quickly prepared to leave with his troops.

After their troops left, Ye Shoujiang achieved his goal.

The unit responsible for transmitting intelligence quickly sent the message back via telegraph.

After Ye Shoujiang learned the news, he called Cao Chuan to his side.

"Notify Heifu and cooperate with me in the night raid."

"So fast?"

Cao Chuan was a little surprised. According to the plan they had agreed upon before, it would take some time to wear down the other party's patience.

But now it seems that things are moving very quickly.

"Your Majesty said to mobilize the chariots, but it's not necessary."

Ye Shoujiang spoke slowly.

The chariot has always been their backup option.

But in the process of continuous tactical maneuvers, they did not use it.

The reason is also very simple.

They don't need to use their trump cards now.

"Okay then, let's head towards Yellow Wind Mountain tonight?"

Cao Chuan looked at the map in the tent and asked curiously.

"If His Majesty were here, what do you think he would do?"

Ye Shoujiang stroked the books on the table and suddenly mentioned Qin Ming.

"Your Majesty? What does this have to do with Your Majesty?"

"You should take a good look at the military book given by His Majesty."

Ye Shoujiang looked at him helplessly, then picked up the scroll on the table and shook it in the air.

There are four big words written on it.

Thirty-six strategies!

"I think these strategies are very simple. Why bother looking at them?"

Cao Chuan spoke in surprise, he knew what it was.

Previously, in order to improve the overall quality of the army, Qin Ming not only trained the soldiers.

Special coaching materials have also been developed for these generals.

Some were sent directly to military schools.

The other part was given to generals who had fought on the battlefield for many years.

After learning it, most generals thought it was pretty good.

However, Cao Chuan and Liu Chuang had been fighting for many years and were very experienced, so they naturally felt that there was no need to start from scratch when such a basic book was handed to them.

It would be better to grow faster through real fighting on the battlefield.

"I think it's very good and I've finished reading it."

Ye Shoujiang suddenly spoke, pointing seriously at the book in his hand.

"No way, you old man, you saw it yourself?"

"Of course. Since His Majesty has arranged this, he must have his reasons. These strategies alone are indeed easy to break, but what if several strategies are intertwined and entangled?"

Ye Shoujiang’s words are thought-provoking.

Cao Chuan suddenly felt that he seemed to have underestimated the textbooks in the military school.

If I had read it earlier, maybe I could have learned something.

Come to think of it, the teaching materials specially arranged by His Majesty are definitely not useless.

"I understand. After I go back, I will also try to persuade Liu Chuang."

Cao Chuan immediately made a serious promise.

"But if you say so, does it mean that His Majesty will use this strategy at this time?"

"I think we can use the winning strategy of concealing the truth and waiting for the enemy to tire, as well as the strategy of climbing up the roof and pulling the ladder away to deal with them."

Ye Shoujiang spoke slowly. Cao Chuan had also read some of the Thirty-Six Stratagems and quickly understood.

The Thirty-Six Strategies are divided into six sets of strategies: strategies for winning a battle, strategies for losing a battle, strategies for a mixed battle, and strategies for a joint battle.

Ye Shoujiang learned and applied it flexibly, which played a big role on the battlefield.

"This is a good idea."

After understanding what the other party said, Cao Chuan did not waste any more time and headed straight for the training ground.

That night, they gathered their soldiers and set off.

At this time, Wanyan Tielu, who had already withdrawn his troops, was walking in the wilderness with Xiao Tianzhu, who had just woken up.

"What happened today is too weird. I doubt they will come over tonight."

Since Xiao Tianzhu woke up, even though he had been busy all day, he still couldn't sleep at night.

"What do you mean? Do you suspect they'll take advantage of our weakness to come and stop us?"

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. If they come here, they will never come back!"

Wanyan Tielu also noticed something unusual and spoke to comfort him.

But when he retreated today, he had already sent a message to the large force coming to support him from the rear.

As long as I am attacked here.

Wanyan Tielu would arrange people to bite hard at the Daqian troops that attacked from across dozens of miles.

This is not the territory they run.

Playing away from home, they will be at a huge disadvantage.

Therefore, the large force behind only needed to arrange a group of vanguards to come and support when Wanyan Tielu was delaying the Daqian troops.

I can definitely get them all!

By then, the Daqian troops would have suffered heavy losses and would not be able to receive reinforcements, so they would have no choice but to retreat.

"I know you've made a lot of arrangements, but the enemy we face this time is very difficult. It may even be the most difficult one we have ever encountered."

Xiao Tianzhu has a high opinion of Ye Shoujiang.

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Tielu on the side also became serious.

"Do you have any idea?"

"It's simple. Leave a group of people along the way, waiting for emergency needs."

"how so?"

Wanyan Tielu was also a veteran, but he had no idea what purpose these people left behind along the way would serve.

Xiao Tianzhu slowly explained:

"Warfare is a game of deception. What if their purpose this time isn't to test our strength, but to wait for us at this point of retreat?"

"This way, the troops left behind along the way can quickly respond and provide support, thus avoiding any problems."

Wanyan Tielu was stunned for a moment, then he widened his eyes and said:

"You suspect that the damage Daqian inflicted on us during the day wasn't their strategic goal?"

"If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine to think this way. Achieving such a level of damage is already quite good, but he is Ye Shoujiang."

Xiao Tianzhu spoke seriously. For some reason, when facing this kind of person, he always hoped that he could think one step further.

Today on the battlefield, it was because of this kind of character that he was exhausted.

However, in the end, he still couldn't keep up with Ye Shoujiang's pace.

Tonight, he wants to try again.

"I agree."

Wanyan Tielu is also a veteran with a very long-term vision.

The most important thing is that he can listen to advice.

They are fundamentally different from those generals who rely on their seniority and act stubbornly.

"Thank you, Brother Wanyan, for your understanding."

"Don't say that. We all came out to fight. How can we possibly be fighting among ourselves?"

"Let's make it a deal. You have half of the Xiao family's troops go, and I'll go half as well. We'll deploy more troops along the way, and we'll contact you promptly if there's any sign of trouble."

The two quickly reached a consensus, but they didn't know that this advance deployment would help them save their lives in the upcoming battlefield.
