Dong Ping'an, the prime minister of Nanchen Kingdom, originally disagreed with the decision to deal with the Xiazhou Army, but continued to attack the Mu family's base camp because he was worried that Ye Xi would take advantage of the opportunity of Nanchen Kingdom's army to attack the Mu family and send troops to attack from behind.

They, Ye Anfeng and his generals all agreed that it was impossible. The two sides even had a heated argument over this.

Dong Ping'an kept admonishing: "Your Majesty, you are taking a risk. Among the three forces currently participating in the civil war in Chen, Ye Xi is the strongest, our army is second, and the Mu family is the weakest. We are now facing the Mu family.

If we start a full-scale war, even if we win, our strength will be damaged. What will we have to fight against Ye Xi? Also, if Ye Xi suddenly attacks our army from the rear while our army is fighting fiercely with the Mu family, what should we do?

How to deal with it.”

Ye Anfeng sighed: "I don't know that taking action against the Mu family is taking a risk. But now that Zhang Hanting can't get in, it must be that our army sent people to kill Mu Ye, and led the army to be stuck in our army.

The logistics supply line forces me to take action against him, otherwise we will starve to death without the Chen State army taking action."

Dong Ping'an said with some lack of confidence: "Then we can use a relatively mild method to deal with the Xiazhou Army, such as just dispersing without killing, or trying to capture their officers and soldiers as much as possible so that we can negotiate with the Mu family in the future."

Ye Anfeng said dumbfounded: "My teacher, there is no gentle way on the battlefield. If we just disperse the Xiazhou Army, and they will come to trouble us again after they regroup, the problem will still be

There is no solution. As for the prisoners, our own food is tight, how can we feed them. My teacher, it is inevitable that we will break up with the Mu family now. Rather than letting the Mu family worry about it, we should always

Instead of guarding against them, it is better to take the initiative to attack and completely drive the Mu family out of the Chen Kingdom."

Dong Ping'an said in a low voice: "I also know that it is imperative to destroy the Xiazhou Army, but whether to continue attacking the Mu family is an important issue. I hope your Majesty will carefully weigh the pros and cons."

Ye Anfeng nodded and said: "I have carefully weighed it and found that attacking the Mu family will not cause too much loss to our army. It is also unlikely that Ye Xi will take the initiative to send troops to attack us at this time."

Dong Ping'an bowed and said: "Your Majesty, can you tell me your reasons?"

Ye Anfeng smiled and said: "First of all, let's talk about the Mu family. Their strength in the Chen Kingdom is not very strong. Judging from the comparison of military strength, after the Xiazhou Army was destroyed, the Mu family only had the Kangzhou Army and Sangzhou Army left in the Chen Kingdom.

The total strength of the state army, the Pennsylvania army, the Mu family's family guards, and some local garrison troops is less than two million. Moreover, the Pennsylvania army is far away on the Kenzhou battlefield on the eastern front. The distant water cannot quench the thirst of the near, so it can be ignored.

Don't count. Calculated this way, the Mu family's actual troops that can be put into the battlefield are less than 1.5 million. Our army has more than two million troops, and its average combat effectiveness is significantly higher than the Mu family's army. It is fully capable of defeating them quickly.

"

Dong Ping'an retorted: "Your Majesty, don't forget that the Mu family has more than just an army like the Chen Kingdom. They have actually controlled the Mao Kingdom for a long time, and all the Mao Kingdom's troops are their back-up."

Ye Anfeng said disdainfully: "Yes, the Mu family can indeed mobilize millions of troops from the Mao Kingdom to the Chen Kingdom for reinforcements. But there is a West Sea Strait between the Mao Kingdom and the Chen Kingdom, and the combined fleet has been defeated by our West Sea Fleet some time ago.

As long as we send the West Sea Fleet to blockade the West Sea Strait, what will they do to transport these millions of troops to Chen Kingdom?"

Dong Ping'an was still unconvinced: "Okay, even if we dispatch the navy and control the West China Sea Strait, the Mao army will not be able to cross the sea to reinforce the Mu family. But the Mu family's army is not necessarily a soft persimmon, especially the Kangzhou Army and the Mu family

The family guards are all very powerful in combat. Even compared with His Majesty's Rising Sun Army, they are not much different. In addition, they are fighting at home and are familiar with the terrain. It will be difficult for us to defeat them in a short time. If

When the fierce battle between our army and the Mu family's army was in full swing, Ye Xi suddenly sent troops to attack us from the rear, how should we respond?"

Ye Anfeng answered confidently: "Teacher, there is no need to worry about this problem. Ye Xi's West Route Army has suffered a great loss in strength after experiencing the battle of Laodao River. Now it is in a hurry to replenish its troops and recuperate. Shortly

There is no strength to take the initiative to attack within this time. Unless Ye Xi is willing to send out his most elite imperial city garrison and royal guards, it will be difficult to pose a substantial threat to our army. But Ye Xi obviously will not do this. I am here

The army in the southeast and the Mulangye Dezhou Army in the east are enough to pose a threat to his imperial city, and he does not dare to act rashly. Moreover, a war between me and the Mu family is what Ye Xi is most happy to see.

Yes. Ye Xi will never easily send troops to attack our army before I and the Mu family decide the winner."
