Chapter 169

Seeing this, Night Breeze couldn't help asking: "It's closer to this place, why didn't you check it out and walk here?"

"My Majesty, this is a simulated battlefield. There is plenty of time. A detour saves a lot of trouble, isn't it good?"

Night Breeze was speechless.

Because of this decision, Mu Guiying was the only one who didn't cause losses here.

And then she fought steadily all the way, and when she reached the pass, her loss was only three or four thousand people.

As for this loss, she also used reverse thinking to play a game of anti-annihilation. In the future, the army that ambushed her wiped out 30,000 troops, leaving only 70,000 troops left in the city defense army.

Judging from the present, Mu Guiying's grades are much better than Qi Jiguang's.

Thinking about it, this has something to do with Mu Guiying's background as a bandit. Mu Kezhai did roadblocking and robbery in the Song Dynasty, and fought many battles with the local army of the Song Dynasty. She has actual combat experience.

Moreover, Mu Guiying's father, Mu Yu, is the general of Nanchen, and he will guide her, so it is reasonable to be better than the fledgling Qi Jiguang.

After arriving at the pass and taking a break, Mu Guiying directly chose to launch a fierce attack with an army of more than 190,000.

At the cost of 20,000 people, they attacked the pass and launched a frontal battle.

At this time, there are still 66,000 defenders fighting head-on, and the loss calculation is originally one to one.

But the ratio of troops is three to one, and Mu Guiying's army still retains more than 30,000 cavalry, and the defenders have no cavalry, so this loss calculation needs to be changed.

In the end, Mu Guiying retained 150,000 soldiers and horses, and the results were outstanding.

But Night Breeze was not satisfied with Mu Guiying's final decision.

"Guiying." Night Breeze called.

"What are the emperor's orders?"

"You did a good job up front, but this last battle was terrible." Night Breeze said.

"Well, it sucks." Mu Guiying agreed.

"You know you still fight like this?" Night Breeze couldn't understand.

"Because it doesn't matter." Mu Guiying took it for granted.

"It's okay? You say it's okay with such a large loss ratio?" Night Breeze felt like he was about to collapse.

"Yes, the strategic goal was achieved six days ahead of schedule, and the loss was less than a quarter. According to my estimation, this result should be able to enter the top three." Mu Guiying said.

"That's not what I said." Night Breeze knew that Mu Guiying had misunderstood.

"Then what did the emperor say?" Mu Guiying asked in confusion.

"I know that you have a way to reduce the casualties, but you chose to attack as soon as you come up. Do you know that if you are on the battlefield, you will lose tens of thousands of casualties in vain. You said it's okay?" Night Breeze was a little angry up.

As the emperor who fought in the world, the people Ye Feng respected most were the generals and soldiers who followed him on the battlefield. Although he would not give up fighting because he didn't want their casualties, he always wanted to achieve his goal with the least casualties.

Mu Guiying finally understood what Night Breeze was going to say, so she couldn't help but chuckle, she was quite courageous, "The emperor originally said this, in fact, it was because of the emperor's assumption that I did this, When you really go to the battlefield, you should achieve your goal at the least cost."

There is a saying that Mu Guiying didn't say, that is, I don't want to perform too well and show that others are too incompetent.

There are many descendants of high-ranking officials and dignitaries who come to take the exam this time. If their grades are not good, they may be compared with themselves by their family members.

Even, Night Breeze used her as an example, which might lead to some unexpected consequences.

One day, if there is a small mistake, it will be a big problem, so it is not easy to be on guard at all times.

From Mu Guiying's point of view, becoming a high-ranking general, being trusted by the emperor, and being powerful and powerful can be free from scruples, but now as a powerless person, it's better to keep a low profile and not be too perfect.

It's just that Mu Guiying thought too much, in the hands of Night Breeze, there was no need to have so many scruples.

Because of her overthinking and uncertainty with Night Breeze, her career progress was delayed.

Night Breeze originally planned to build a new Feifeng Army composed entirely of women, and appointed her as the commander-in-chief with full authority, but now he can only slow down.

Because he was not sure whether what Mu Guiying said was true or not, whether he could still do whatever he wanted on the battlefield.

Decided to take her to Da Song's battlefield experience to see the situation.

This can be said to be a wrong decision caused by the two people's ignorance of each other. Surprisingly, this wrong decision helped Night Breeze a lot in the Song Dynasty battlefield. Of course, this is a later story.

After Mu Guiying finished the exam, other exam rooms and literature exams ended one after another.

All the people who completed the exam returned to the residence arranged by the empire to wait for the results of the review.

As for the three of them, Night Breeze and Li Yuan, in the next few days, they were buried in the vortex of personally grading the papers.

The martial arts test was okay, Night Breeze left the top 60 directly, so he didn't need to look at any records.

The commander assessment is relatively difficult.

Of the more than one hundred people, only three achieved the strategic goal, Mu Guiying, Qi Jiguang, and Wang Bodang who also took the exam.

In addition to the three, there were two who fought with the defenders and died together, which is relatively good.

The rest were wiped out by the defenders, which is really disappointing.

That's it, Night Breeze still selected a dozen or so people, and these ten people caused the defenders to suffer a lot.

These people lack actual combat experience, and they have been able to become like this purely by relying on theoretical knowledge. After experience, they can't be handsome, but they should be able to be a small leader.

Speaking of strategists, they are at the same level as national treasures, and they are even rarer than commanders.

There were quite a few people who came to apply for the exam, but there were really few who came up with suitable national policies, and there was only one who could be favored by Night Breeze, Liu Wenjing.

Liu Wenjing in the history of Earth's Huaxia was the most important person who helped plan the Taiyuan uprising, and was the first adviser to follow Li Yuan and his son.

His planning ability may be inferior to Xu Maogong and Li Jing, but he is definitely not a weak player.

There was really no one in the counselor's exam, so Night Breeze chose him.

In the examination of political talents, there are the most characters, and there are many talents to choose from.

Among these people, there were also some talents that Night Breeze was familiar with in Chinese history.

Fang Xuanling, the prime minister in the year of Zhenguan.

The eldest grandson Wuji, the number one hero of Lingyuan Pavilion, Li Shimin's empress eldest grandson Wuyou is his younger sister.

Du Ruhui, Fang Mou Du Duan, his talent is comparable to Fang Xuanling.

Bao Zheng, this guy was a bit of a surprise to Night Breeze. It's a good thing he wasn't taken in by Zhao Kuangyin. The Ministry of Criminal Justice needs such a talent to further reduce the existence of unjust prisons.

Ji Xiaolan, in the history of China, he was from the Qing Dynasty, but he himself was of the Han nationality. Now that the Five Dynasties are in the same era, if he wants to be an official, it is naturally impossible to go to an enemy country.

Ji Xiaolan's political ability is only above average, but her main ability lies in her profound knowledge, profound literary foundation, eloquent eloquence, and it should be very suitable for a diplomat.

Du Fu, who has a very good relationship with Li Bai, came to rush for the exam because he heard that Li Bai was an official in the court.

Looking at Du Fu's classification choices, it is obvious that he intends to enter the Ministry of Industry and build for the country and the people.

Those are the people who are familiar with them, and there are many people who are unknown in history, but they are actually good on one side. Such professional management talents, Yefeng has selected hundreds of people, and speaking, they have the most talents in the literary examination.

After reading it completely, Night Breeze took a quick look at the papers that the other three had read and discarded, in order to prevent some super talents from being buried because of their different political views.

The entire examination process took six days, and it could be said that this was the first time Night Breeze devoted himself to matters not related to war.

Because Night Breeze knew very well that he was a political slob, and if he didn't pay attention to the selection of talents, there would be serious problems.

And in these days, news from Daming also came.

According to the news sent back by members of the Tianluowang in Daming.

In these days, Zhu Biao has been convicted and beheaded, while Zhu Di is in hiding.

Now Zhu Wushi can become the king. Zhu Yuanzhang's first seven days passed, and the next day happened to be an auspicious day, and Zhu ignored it.

After receiving the news, Night Breeze went to Daming after making arrangements for the newly selected talents.

At noon that day, in Daming Shang’s study.

Zhu Wushi, who had just ascended the throne, was looking through the memorial with great interest. At this moment, a close aide came forward to report: "My Majesty, King Abello is asking to see you."

"Oh?" Zhu Wushi was overjoyed. He was able to become the emperor because of the help of King Abeluo. There are many talents in the court, but they are all former court officials. He has few cronies who can confide in him, so naturally he needs to promote Take a look at your own people, and this King Apollo should be the first in the ranking.

Xuan!
