Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

After struggling for a long time, Li Tingting seemed to have grasped something.

In fact, the officials from the Wu and Wang families were not inherently bad.

These old foxes argue and fight every morning at court.

Perhaps it's ingrained in their very being; anything proposed by the Li family...

Both the Wu and Wang families opposed it.

Anything supported by the Wu and Wang families will be vetoed by the Li family.

To put it bluntly, they argue and fight every day, and after all that, it's all for nothing.

It turns out that they had only developed a habit of fighting each other in their minds.

But his father-in-law, the old emperor, only knew how to play the balancing act.

They don't know how to guide them to explore things in a positive direction.

Alright! Since I have nothing to do today anyway, let's try to find a topic to talk about.

Having made up her mind, Li Tingting gently tapped the dragon table in front of her.

"My lords, let us discuss the matter of the Eastern Kingdom today."

The deployment of 150,000 troops in Fuzhou, on my eastern border,

Whether I should launch an attack or actively defend against it...

I'm really torn and don't know what to do.

What good ideas do you, my lords, have? Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong,

The key is participation; everyone is welcome to speak freely.

The hall fell silent for no more than three breaths after Li Tingting finished speaking.

Li Zhong then stepped forward first, bowed, and said in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty, those from the Eastern Ocean have traveled across the ocean..."

The 150,000-strong army seemed impressive,

In reality, a long-distance raid would inevitably result in enormous losses of supplies and provisions.

This is a major taboo in military strategy.

Their deployment of troops in Fuzhou is nothing more than a swift victory.

They attempted to break through my eastern defenses with overwhelming force and then seize the opportunity to plunder supplies.

In my humble opinion, we only need to strengthen the defenses of Fuzhou.

Gathering grain, provisions, and laborers from the coastal prefectures and counties of the eastern border,

Wait patiently for the enemy to tire themselves out, and hold firm against any unrest.

The Gou Kingdom's army, unable to conquer the territory after a prolonged siege, faced the day when their supplies ran out.

That is when they will collapse without a fight; this is the best strategy to subdue the enemy without a battle!

Li Zhong had barely finished speaking when, before Li Tingting could even reply...

A cold snort came from the right side of the hall.

Wu Xiong'an began to get impatient.

His tone carried a deliberate refutation: "Prime Minister Li, you are mistaken!"

What do you mean by subduing the enemy without fighting? In my opinion,

This is clearly an excuse for cowardice and avoidance of war!

Japan, harboring wolfish ambitions, has been deploying troops in Fuzhou for over seven days.

If our army simply retreats to a defensive posture, they will surely figure out the strengths and weaknesses of our defenses.

If they launch a surprise attack on my weak points in the east under cover of night, and advance unimpeded,

Occupying even one state or county in the eastern border would allow them to sustain their war effort through warfare.

At that time, they will requisition grain locally, ensuring a worry-free supply.

If this happens, the eastern border of our dynasty will be plunged into an abyss of eternal damnation!

In my opinion, rather than passively taking a beating,

It's better to take the initiative and seize the initiative in the battle!

"What Lord Wu said is absolutely right!"

Before Wu Xiong'an could finish speaking, Wang Chong immediately stepped forward.

He cupped his hands in agreement, "Your subject wholeheartedly agrees with Lord Wu's proposal!"

Prime Minister Li's so-called "waiting in comfort for the enemy to tire" is nothing but a foolish strategy of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump!

The Japanese army has come from afar, and its weakness lies in its supply lines.

I have heard that the grain ships of the Gou Kingdom will be transshipped through the Lancang River estuary of the Nanbang Kingdom.

If our dynasty were to send a light cavalry force to pass through the border of South Korea...

A surprise attack on their supply ships would cut off their lifeline.

At that time, the Japanese army will be unable to attend to both ends.

The morale of the army will surely collapse. Our army will then launch another frontal attack from Fuzhou.

A pincer attack from both inside and outside will surely lead to a great victory!

This is far better than sitting idly by in a besieged city and waiting for the enemy to attack!

Seeing that Wang Chong had made his second brother's words seem completely worthless,

Li Xiang definitely wouldn't sit still.

He immediately stepped forward and joined the battle with a solemn expression.

His tone held a hint of urgency as he asked, "May I ask Wu,..."

My lords, what do we have to attack with?

Do you all not know the current military strength of our Great Xia?

Of the five people in the group, two were old and two were young, making up the numbers. At most...

There's only one corporal left who can fight!

This number of soldiers is barely enough to defend the city.

How could we possibly launch a long-distance raid to seize the enemy's supplies?

He suddenly raised his voice, his gaze sweeping over Wu Xiong'an and Wang Chong.

Every word was firm and resounding: "Soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom,"

Each and every one of them is a seasoned veteran, well-trained and well-equipped!

If our light cavalry were to pass through South Korea and launch a surprise attack on the mouth of the Lancang River...

That wasn't a surprise attack, it was like lambs being led into the tiger's den!

If we're not careful, we might not only fail to intercept the supplies, but we might also alert the enemy.

"Let the Gou Kingdom discover our army's intentions in advance, and then concentrate their forces to launch a fierce attack on Fuzhou!"

After speaking, Li Xiang bowed deeply to Li Tingting behind the dragon table.

His tone was earnest: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the safest method at present is..."

Only by relying on the natural defenses of Fuzhou's mountains and sea can we strengthen the city's defenses.

Dig deep trenches and defend with all your might!

The Gou Kingdom's army had crossed vast oceans, and their food and supplies transport capacity was already limited.

As long as our army holds the line and stalls for a month or two...

When their supplies run out, they will naturally retreat without a fight!

This is the perfect solution!

Li Xiang's words struck at the heart of the Great Xia's military weaknesses.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Wu Xiong'an and Wang Chong exchanged a glance. Although what Li Xiang said was true,

It is an indisputable fact that the Great Xia Dynasty is currently lacking in military strength.

But they were used to nitpicking the Li family's every little thing.

How could they possibly let it go so easily?

However, the Wu and Wang family members frowned, unable to think of a rebuttal that could be refuted immediately.

We could only look at each other, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly froze.

Just then, the old fox Wu Lixin finally made his move.

He slowly rose to his feet, his expression solemn.

He walked step by step into the hall, his gaze sweeping over Li Xiang.

He then turned to Li Tingting, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"Your Majesty, you sissy, how pedantic Minister Li's words are!"

How cowardly!

"Hmph! What do you mean by relying on the terrain for strict defense? That sounds nice!"

Wu Lixin sneered, his words as sharp as knives.

"Although Fuzhou's city defenses are strong, there is more than just Fuzhou along the eastern coast."

Lianjiang and Putian are both vulnerable areas!

Their 150,000-strong army from the Eastern Kingdom

Would they really be so foolish as to only attack Fuzhou?

They wouldn't divide their forces into three routes and use a feint attack in one direction while striking in another.

Feigning an attack on Fuzhou, but actually launching a surprise attack on Xiapu.

If things really develop in this way, our military forces will be dispersed.

Focusing on one thing while neglecting another, the so-called "strict defense" is nothing but self-deception!

At this point, Wu Lixin took a step forward, his tone becoming increasingly sharp:

"Does a weak military mean we should not fight? Does a lack of manpower mean we should be at the mercy of others?"

Minister Li only knew how to maintain the status quo, but he didn't know that "when two armies meet on a narrow road, the brave will win!"

The weaker the military, the more important it is to strike unexpectedly!

If we don't actively cut off their supplies, and wait until they gain a foothold...

They plunder everywhere, using war to sustain war; at that time, the eastern border of my Great Xia...

Then there will be no peace! Your so-called 'perfect plan'...

It's just an excuse to sit and wait for death!

Wu Lixin's words were powerful and resounding, instantly turning the tide of the battle.

Those officials who are fans of the Wu and Wang families,

So excited that he completely ignored Li Tingting

They cheered and jumped for joy on the spot, including an official who was a fan of the Wu family.

He even laughed and gave Wu Lixin a thumbs up.

"What a perfect saying: 'When paths cross, the brave prevail;' and 'The more unexpected the better.'"

"Your Majesty, I believe that Lord Wu's plan is the best possible strategy."

"Yes, Lord Wu's plan is the best plan!"

After the official finished speaking, the crowds from both the Wu and Wang families excitedly echoed his words.

These old guys don't care whether the strategies their own people are using are correct or not.

Whether it's practical or not, we definitely can't lose a fight against the Li family.

We didn't win that fight yesterday, so we're going to get our revenge today.

As for Wu Lixin, he stood tall and proud, his face full of arrogance.

He stroked his beard, his face beaming with smugness.
