Chapter 1316 Sudden Retreat

"We were fighting well, why did they suddenly ask us to retreat?"

"We have retreated so far, and we still need to replenish our supplies within five days?

After replenishing?

Who are we going to fight?"

All the commanders were full of doubts about Ye Liuyun's order to retreat. .\nＣＯＭ

Emperor Xia also came over to ask immediately.

"Do you have any intention in doing this?"

He was far away in the palace and didn't know the situation on the battlefield, so he could only communicate with Ye Liuyun first.

Ye Liuyun replied: "First of all, the soldiers have won victory after victory, and the initial grief and anger and the blood in their bones have been exhausted.

Now a negative mentality has emerged, and the number of casualties in the battle has begun to increase.

In addition, the more the aliens' activity space is compressed, the more concentrated their strength will be.

If the fight continues, we will be scattered and they will be concentrated, which is not good for us.

The reason why I gave such a large area back to the aliens is to let them disperse their forces again, and then kill them with a surprise attack.

By then, they have just deployed their defenses and are short of supplies, and we can easily eliminate them one by one."

After Ye Liuyun explained, he asked Emperor Xia to keep it secret to prevent the news from leaking in advance.

From the betrayal of Song Fanjun, the aliens had already started the layout, and the layout was very deep.

So now they dare not trust anyone.

After hearing this, Emperor Xia also agreed repeatedly.

At the same time, he was deeply moved: "This Ye Liuyun is really a talented general! It's a pity that he is devoted to martial arts, otherwise, he can be the commander-in-chief of the imperial army!"

Immediately, he just asked all the commanders to fully obey Ye Liuyun's orders.

Afterwards, he immediately coordinated resources.

This time, he also brought a copy to Ye Liuyun.

He even issued a notice to appoint Ye Liuyun as the deputy commander of the army.

The intention of Emperor Xia is very clear. Now that there is no commander, the whole army must obey Ye Liuyun's command.

Doing so is to authorize Ye Liuyun.

As soon as the notice was issued, the whole army welcomed it.

Although they were retreating, their lives were saved by Ye Liuyun after all.

And without Ye Liuyun, they would not be able to successfully counterattack.

So they all believed in their hearts that as long as Ye Liuyun was there in the future, they would not be defeated.

But some people in the royal family were dissatisfied, saying that Ye Liuyun was young and inexperienced and was not qualified to take on this important task.

Some people were also worried that Ye Liuyun was already powerful, and if he had military power, he could overthrow the dynasty at any time.

Some even used Ye Liuyun's previous siege to prove Ye Liuyun's lawlessness.

Emperor Xia only listened to the opinions of these people, but did not change his decision.

They could not lead troops to fight in person, but they were very knowledgeable in commenting on the commander.

If it was normal, when Emperor Xia wanted to deal with someone, he would let them discuss and then pick out some suitable excuses.

But now, he didn't need their opinions at all.

Through this war, he also understood that Ye Liuyun was sincerely fighting against the alien race, and he was calm, careful, and smart, and was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Ye Liuyun had no thoughts or intentions of rebellion since a long time ago.

In fact, he had known this in his heart.

As long as Ye Liuyun was not provoked, he would definitely be the easiest to talk to.

But if he was provoked, he would never suffer.

So no matter what those ministers said, he just smiled and still insisted on his own opinion.

However, the emperor came to him because of this matter.

"Why did you give the military power to Ye Liuyun?

Don't you know that he is one of our rival forces?"

As soon as the emperor met, he blamed Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia was also a little suspicious of the emperor now.

He just said: "I have repeatedly verified that Ye Liuyun will not betray the dynasty. At least he is much safer than Song Fanjun.

There is no such thing as an enemy. We are partners!"

"Are you blaming me for recommending the wrong person?"

The emperor listened to the words and asked dissatisfiedly.

"I dare not!"

Although Emperor Xia was suspicious, he still had to respect the emperor.

"Immediately remove Ye Liuyun's deputy commander position, and don't let him participate in battlefield affairs in the future! Once he establishes prestige in the army, it will be very detrimental to our rule!"

The emperor persuaded Emperor Xia from another angle.

There was also some command in his tone.

"No! His appointment has been announced.

If the order is revoked, it will be counterproductive and cause dissatisfaction with Ye Liuyun.

He is the backbone of the battlefield. Without him, we can't beat the aliens!"

Emperor Xia said calmly.

"Our dynasty has millions of troops, but we can't beat the aliens?

Is he the only one?"

The emperor asked angrily.

"Yes! Without Ye Liuyun, those millions of troops would be corpses now! Or they would become corpse demons to counterattack us!"

Emperor Xia's tone became firm.

The emperor sighed and changed his strategy when he saw that he couldn't convince him.

"Since the order cannot be withdrawn, it can only be like this for the time being.

But you should understand his next move and send a few more military supervisors?

What is his next plan?

I think there are a few people who are more stable and suitable to be military supervisors..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, he was directly rejected by Emperor Xia.

"I won't send a military supervisor.

The so-called trust in the people you employ! The most feared thing for the commander on the battlefield is surveillance and restriction, which will delay the opportunity to fight!

As for what kind of layout and plan Ye Liuyun has, he is the commander of the army, I don't need to ask one by one."

Emperor Xia was very decisive, and he didn't even tell Ye Liuyun's plan.

Last time, he used the person recommended by the emperor, and almost the whole army was wiped out.

After suffering a loss, how could he use the person he recommended?

In fact, he wanted to test the emperor.

But Ye Liuyun's plan was too big. If he used this plan to test the emperor, and the news really spread to the aliens, then the dynasty and the million-strong army would suffer.

He couldn't afford this risk, so he could only wait for another opportunity.

"You don't trust me, but trust an outsider instead?"

The emperor immediately asked back: "Can I deliberately harm the dynasty?"

Emperor Xia looked at him and felt that the emperor was really different from before.

He was completely different from his previous steadiness and foresight, and his recent frequent actions also violated his original intention of retreating to practice.

Although he didn't know the reason, he had made up his mind to keep an eye on the emperor and not accept his advice anymore.
