In this battle, the number of casualties in the Ming Dynasty was less than that of the Japanese pirates, and much less. Is Fan Yujun's historical evaluation or in my opinion, they were all lost in the Ming Dynasty.

Because this battle destroyed a person's courage and fighting spirit to advance, and this person was Li Rusong, the highest commander of the entire anti-Japanese war and aiding Korea!

If a soldier loses his fighting spirit, he will be in danger on the battlefield; if a commander of a unit loses his fighting spirit, the unit will become a drag on friendly forces and loses his fighting spirit when he is the supreme commander of the war. Then the best ending of the war is to stagnate.

In the captain's room, Li Rusong was speechless, looking out the window with a blurry look and divergent look. His hand holding the cup was parked in the air, trembling slightly.

I looked at him for a long time, but he didn't respond. So I turned my head and looked at Li Rumei deeply. The wise and brave general also looked worried and looked at me with a lot of content in his eyes.

We shook our heads almost at the same time, then I turned my eyes away from Li Rumei's face and turned to Li Ning, Yang Yuan, Zu Chengxun, and Cha Dashou next to me. My eyes slid past their faces, and the few people looked different, obviously thinking.

The only thing that is the same is that no one speaks.

I smiled coldly in my heart, arrogant when I was proud, arrogant when I was proud, and despair when I was disappointed, and lost in the shadow of a snake. What's the point!

To be honest, I have no obligation to spoil them, especially when I was not accepted by my advice at the beginning, and now I want to help them but have no response.

Of course, I don’t have to have conflicts with them. But when I look at Lan, the sarcastic smile on the corners of my eyebrows and mouth is unconcealed. I believe that anyone who still has blood in his heart will be filled with anger when he sees this smile.

Although it flashed and flew away, it was still clearly seen by those who were interested - this is what I hope. You can't just watch Li Rusong in a daze, but in fact you don't do anything.

Li Rumei is one of the people she saw, the most important witness, and the most complicated senior general.

Why is it complicated? As a general, he had the same opinion as me at the Pyongyang meeting and opposed sending troops to Wang Jing. After the opinions were rejected, Li Rumei did not wait passively, but actively communicated with me and planned the cover retreat last night.

He had reason to be angry and had reasons to object to the negative attitude of the main general, but he did not - because he was also Li Rusong's younger brother and a member of the Li family, which made his position very embarrassing. Especially after seeing my expression, I knew that it was time for him to speak.

"Everyone, the Japanese pirates are so powerful, but our army is one to do ten, so the debate is not enough to be afraid. But the difficulty lies in the inability to keep up with the logistics supply..." Li Rumei's tone was aimed at everyone present, but her eyes were staring at me.

I knew what he wanted to say, but I didn't say anything and continued to listen to him expressing his thoughts.

Seeing that I did not interrupt him, Li Rumei gave me a grateful look because I had every reason to interrupt him.

"Now, our supply pressure is very high, and the supply line of Japanese pirates is also difficult. Therefore, my suggestion... In the next step of combat strategy, we should focus on stability and not be aggressive!" Li Rumei said in a bad voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing anyone. Only I knew that he was afraid of making me feel unhappy and said something that embarrassed Li Rusong and the Li family army.

I still didn't speak, and looked at the candlelight in the center of the table expressionlessly, as if I heard it, but I didn't.

After Li Rumei finished speaking, the cabin fell into silence again, only the crackling sound of candlelight burning remained, and the leaping flames reflected the faces of everyone's faces flashed and dark, and the atmosphere at the scene was very awkward.

"The problem... is not in the logistics." At this moment, a voice came from the cabin. I turned my head and looked, and it was Li Rusong himself who spoke!

Seeing him speak, the originally soft Li family generals couldn't help but sit up straight, and their eyes were focused on Li Rusong sitting directly opposite me.

My face was still the same, looking at him expressionlessly, waiting for him to express his decision.

"The Japanese pirates were originally divided into two, but now they have a tendency to unite and deal with the Ming Dynasty together. Fortunately, Admiral Sun had a plan, which led to the attack on both sides of the Japanese pirates, alleviating the dilemma of our being attacked. But..."

His voice suddenly lowered, and it was not easy for him to say these words.

"But now, we do not have enough troops to take the initiative to attack. Defending Pyongyang to the death should be the best choice at the moment." Li Rusong's voice trembled, but the meaning was very firm: "Qi Lan gave us a lot of support in the logistics and combat, but now it is at the peak of the enemy, and our army is not able to take the initiative to attack again!"

"Don't have the ability to attack?" I smiled and felt very calm: "Maybe, after all, you are the commander. I have nothing to say. Just talk about your plan. If I withdraw my troops, I will withdraw my troops and return to the court."

Li Rusong's face turned pale. He was so excited by me that he was very excited. Without my support, his supplies could not reach here at all. I was afraid that even Pyongyang's supplies would be very difficult. But did the troops return to the court? Just because he didn't dare to fight, he would burn all his previous efforts?

What is this? I am afraid that he will withdraw his troops today and will receive an order from the court to go to Beijing to report his duties tomorrow.

But what else can I do? I dare not fight and retreat, but I dare not retreat, what else can I do? I looked at Li Rusong with an indifferent expression. He was still looking at me at first, but later he seemed unable to hold on. He slowly lowered his head and whispered: "I am indeed responsible for this failure. Now that I have reached this point, Qi Lan, you said, how should we advance and retreat to get through the situation in front of us?"

I snorted coldly and said softly: "You are the Grand Marshal, come and ask me?"

Li Rusong's face was flushed and he couldn't speak. Li Rumei looked at it and quickly advised: "Qi Lan, national affairs are the most important. Brother, he was also eager to make contributions at that time, so please understand more!"

After saying that, Li Rumei pointed to the map on the table and said, "Now, Shibata Katsuya and Hashiba Hideyoshi's army have gathered near Wangjing. If we don't move, we are afraid that we will be wasted all our efforts. Qi Lan is resourceful and knows the depth of Japanese pirates in Japan. Therefore, we sincerely ask for advice, and I hope Qi Lan will give you advice."

I looked at Li Rumei, turned to Li Rusong again, and looked at him calmly. Li Rusong stood up, bowed deeply to me, and said earnestly: "Qi Lan, I did not know how to advance or retreat before, but now the situation is serious. I hope Qi Lan will ignore the past and give me more advice."

Ye Sizhong also said, "Indeed, Qi Lan is more important than state affairs and should not act irresponsible."

I looked at him faintly and said, "I had worked hard before and cut off the food supply route of Shibada Katsuya, which caused the conflict between Hashiba and Shibada families to become more and more acute. I also tried every means to win over the Hashiba family and form a situation of distance and attacking the enemy. The general situation was just now, and I saw the conception situation, but was disrupted by this confused battle."

Everyone was silent, and I continued, "Whether you are determined to win or ignore the overall situation, things have become like this now. I am actually quite cold, but I know that if I shrink back at this time, I am afraid that after Hashiba Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuya sit down to discuss, it will be difficult for Goryeo to have a place for the Ming army to stand in the Ming army. Instead of being driven out with guns and sticks at that time, we might as well leave ourselves, so it is better to sit here and wait for death."

When Li Rumei heard something from me, she immediately asked, "Just say it, Qi Lan, what good strategies do you have?"

I glanced at everyone and knew that everyone was waiting for my opinion, but I didn't listen to it in a manner as polite way as before, but I really wanted to know what the current situation was.

I paused, pointed to the location north of the sea where we were, and said in a deep voice: "Shibata Katsuya's troops are concentrated here, but the remaining food and grass are all in Seoul..."

Li Rusong's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "You mean, let's attack Seoul?"

I nodded and said, "This is just one. As for the second..."

I looked at Li Rumei and said, "Last night, the Hashiba Army and the Chai Tian Army still turned against each other again. I want you to bring a team of people to make up the Hashiba Army and attack the Chai Tian Army's camp in the middle of the night! As for manpower, I can arrange the most professional Japanese ninjas to cooperate with you, and there is no problem in pretending to be fooled. Just remember that you don't want to hurt the enemy, but you just want to disturb the enemy and don't expose your true colors. Do you understand?"

Li Rumei laughed twice: "Of course I understand! Qi Landuan's good strategy! While we sneaked into the old nest of Shibata Katsura's family, we triggered a conflict between Hashiba and Shibata. It was the last trick that defeated Shibata Katsura's family! High, really high!"

I waved my hand gently and looked at Li Rusong again and said, "There is one remaining team. Please lead the team personally to cut off the connection between Hashiba Hideyoshi and the rear. It won't take too long, just three days! Three days are enough!"

Li Rusong was stunned at first, then asked: "Haishiba Hideyoshi is full of food and grass. What can be changed in three days? But I don't know what Kiran's intention is."

I smiled faintly and said, "Rukashi defends Pyongyang, Shibata Katsuya has no chance. If Hashiba Hideyoshi's formation is stable, it will be difficult for Shibata Katsuya to fight against him. I want the general to lead the army to attack him, so that it is difficult to deal with the food and grass. As for me, I should use other methods to guide Shibata Katsuya to lead more energy to the northwest - forcing him to attack Hashiba Hideyoshi to grab food and grass..."

As I said that, I smiled and concluded: "This can be regarded as an upgraded version of the tiger-eating wolf-eating!"

The cabin was quiet for a moment, and then a burst of warm laughter came! Everyone, including Li Rusong, even said it was a good plan, and it was not easy to be happy.

However, Li Rusong's restored words asked me with a smile: "Qi Lan, what are our plans when this plan is implemented?"

I looked at him, tilted my mouth again and said, "When this strategy succeeds, if the situation is favorable, you can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, or nothing else; if the situation is unfavorable, it will not be too late to use other tricks."

Cha Dashou, who had been holding on to the side, said strangely: "If the situation is favorable, why should we talk about it?"

I looked at Li Rusong, and he knew the inside story very clearly: "Only the more fierce the fight in the front, the better the price behind it. This is the business story. I believe Li Shuai agreed, right?"
