Liu Ruohuan looked around and did not see the second princess who was vigorous and decisive in the handsome tent.

"Where is the Second Prince?"

"When a few miles away from the military camp, the Second Highness returned to the house in anger. She said that the troops in the capital were ridiculous and did not correspond to the title of elite troops in the capital at all. Moreover, the Second Highness asked me to see you before leaving and said..."

Seeing Zuo Zinan's expression of wanting to speak but stopping, Liu Ruohuan asked, "What did you say?"

Zuo Zinan's face was calm, and there was no trace of emotional ups and downs in her words. "The Second Highness said that a male favorite like you who relies on your body is best matched with such an inconsistent army."

Liu Ruohuan was stunned and realized after a while.

What a guy, the disgust of these two princesses towards him is not to be concealed at all. He came here today and had already made plans to be silly, but he didn't expect that he would be disliked as a male lover for nothing, and he didn't even see the other party.

It's completely underestimated...

When Zuo Zinan saw Liu Ruohuan silent for a moment, he said with a grudge: "Liu Jianjun, I have no interest in the grudge between you and the Second Prince. I hope that the supervisor will not affect the judgment of my Zuo family... Otherwise, even if it is the imperial envoy, my Zuo family will still have the right to take action first and then report."

Liu Ruohuan himself also knew the impact of dividing command power on the battle situation, so he naturally would not do such thankless things.

But Zuo Zinan and the second princess have treated him as a fool, which is really...

Liu Ruohuan turned his gaze to the sand table in the coach's tent. This sand table that simulates the border terrain was filled with several small red and blue flags and various chess pieces. It seems that when Zuo Zinan was sitting in the tent, he had often deduced the sand table to simulate the battle situation.

Now on this sand table, the blue side has been forced to gather the formation and bring all the elite troops into larger towns.

This is quite similar to the sand table that Liu Ruohuan deduced with Sakurai yesterday, and it is basically a dead game.

"How the Zuo family marches and fights is your own business, and I won't ask more." Liu Ruohuan said this and suddenly changed his accent and changed his previous weakness. "But if you ruined the Han and Tang dynasties because of your persistence, it is within my responsibilities."

Zuo Zinan saw Liu Ruohuan's eyes staying on the sand table, and a hint of anger appeared on her snow-white face.

"Where is the turn of a woman to point fingers in war?"

Liu Ruohuan snorted lightly, looked up disdainfully and said, "Haha, I still think that the young head of the Zuo family has any responsibility, or have some outstanding military talents. When I saw him today, I realized that he was just a martial artist, just brave."

Liu Ruohuan's words fell into Zuo Zinan's ears, but did not arouse her further anger.

On the contrary, Zuo Zinan's mood became extremely calm. After calming down, she apologized to Liu Ruohuan. "Mr. Supervisor is right, it's because I am a little impulsive."

Unexpectedly, Zuo Zinan's mood was so stable, and Liu Ruohuan's evaluation of her in her heart was a little more.

"I wonder what did the military inspector just saw when he observed the sand table?"

Looking at Zuo Zinan who was humbly asking for advice, Liu Ruohuan did not care about it anymore and repeated the words of Sakurai Maoxue yesterday.

"Now there are large armies approaching the border in the northern border. The daily report has reached 200,000, and these troops are more than twice that of our Han and Tang soldiers. In my opinion, the war in the north has become a dead end, and it is not the Zuo family's three armies who can turn the world around..."

Zuo Zinan stood up from her seat, and she waved the black martial robe behind her, silent for a moment about the situation on the sand table. "It seems that the military supervisor is not completely ignorant of the ordering of troops on the battlefield."

"Actually, I, Mr. Liu, really knows nothing about the war, but under the pressure of the military supervisor's duties, I still have to learn to see the situation clearly."

Liu Ruohuan picked up the wooden sticks on the side of the sand tray and circled several important towns in the northern part of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"From the map, the Zuo family has recalled the three troops of the Zuo family that were previously arranged on the border, gathering all the main forces in larger towns. I guess the resolution passed by the Zuo family at present should be similar to the tactics of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and preparing to burn houses and farmland along the way, collect soldiers, and fight with the Huns for a long time."

A hint of praise flashed through Zuo Zinan's almond eyes.

"If this tactic is dragged until winter, it is indeed feasible. After all, snowfall is prone to falling in the north and the roads are slid. This is a nightmare for the Huns who rely on cavalry."

“That’s exactly that.”

When Liu Ruohuan said this, he looked up at Zuo Zinan, "But this tactic has a shocking flaw, that is, he ignores the gap in combat power between the enemy and us, and has a profound misunderstanding of the tactic."

Zuo Zinan frowned slightly. This method of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness was proposed by an older generation of the Zuo family. Although this tactic is old-fashioned, it has extraordinary lethality for nomadic people like the Huns.

Zuo Zinan just deduced it three times on the sand table, believing that if it could last until winter, the Han and Tang dynasties would have a chance of driving away the Huns who entered the country, and that by then, the border would be recaptured again.

But why did Liu Ruohuan in front of him insist that this method would not work?

"The 200,000 reported in the thread is actually just the vanguard of the Huns. The newly appointed Shanyu king, the Hun army accumulated by the number of more than 400,000. I would like to ask Young Master Zuo, how long do you think the cities on the border can last under such an army?"

Zuo Zinan hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth slightly, "After all, the Huns are nomadic people and are not good at using siege equipment. They use good stones for the border cities. It should be no problem to persist for two months."

"Wrong! A big mistake!"

Seeing that the other party made the same mistake as he did yesterday, Liu Ruohuan refuted her with the words of Sakurai Yuki.

"In fact, if I were the ruler of the Huns, I would have built large siege equipment behind the border army a month ago. Calculate the time and just set off with the main force to reach the main city occupied by the Zuo family."

Liu Ruohuan moved all the red chess pieces on the map to the Zuo Family Town. For a moment, the dense red chess pieces symbolized thousands of troops and locked the Zuo Family here.

"Even if the enemy is a hundred times more powerful than us, the Zuo family will not be so easily compromised."

"When did I say I need to defeat you?"

Liu Ruohuan showed a surprised expression to Zuo Zinan, and the latter looked puzzled when he saw it.

Liu Ruohuan suddenly divided the main force of the Hun army from the sand table, and these chess pieces pointed directly to the last level outside Luoyang City, Hangu Pass.

"In my opinion, I just need to trap the difficult Zuo family army here. Since the Zuo family army has become a turtle, the battle between the Han and Tang dynasties is equivalent to losing without fighting." Liu Ruohuan continued to ask Zuo Zinan: "How many elite capital guards in Hangu Pass can withstand the Huns? Is it 10,000 or 200,000? 200,000?"
