Lyle and the Dynasty's Edge Chapter 10

The two men entered the main hall and changed their expressions. Zane Zuo said tactfully: "Marshal Ye, you have already made military achievements. If this plan succeeds, you can make more military achievements and be promoted again." York Ye also said in a roundabout way: "Zane Zuo, we all came to Korea with our heads tied to our belts. It is better to be safe and not seek merit but avoid mistakes." Zane Zuo found it harsh and had to fire a cannon: "On the battlefield with gunfire and cannonfire, it is either you die or I live. 

How can we not seek merit but avoid mistakes!" York Ye, with a wooden face, also fired a cannon: "Foreign cannons are not good enough to make you lose your life!" You know the fire is fierce, you also know that the Japanese have become strong through reforms, can they fight a war just by relying on heat?" Zane Zuo hurriedly said in a slow voice: "Marshal Ye, you want to rely on Pyongyang to defend instead of attack, I think you have considered this. But they have a long expedition, and they have weaknesses that foreign guns and cannons cannot make up for." 

York Ye also put on an attitude of listening: "Zane Zuo, you have a unique vision, please tell me in detail." Zane Zuo brought out a big sign: "How did the great general Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty conquer the Japanese pirates? The main experience was to lure the enemy deep into our territory, and then design a plan to annihilate them!" York Ye was not suddenly enlightened, but greatly disappointed! "It's one thing at a time, and it's another at a time. What if they refuse to fall into an ambush?" Zane Zuo opened the map he brought with him: "If the Japanese refuse to fall into an ambush, we can also lure them into an ambush. We intercept them on these two roads, and then retreat. 

They will surely take advantage of the victory and chase us, and then ambush us in this dangerous place!" York Ye had to shake his head: "To defend Pyongyang, our thirty battalions are already stretched to the limit, and we can also divide our troops into two routes to set up an ambush!" Zane Zuo took out his long-thought-out inference: "Of the two routes, this one is the most likely. I would like to set up an ambush on this route and beat the Japanese to a pulp. 

"York Ye not only shook his head but also screamed: "How do you determine that the Japanese will take this road? If you fail to make a brilliant plan, you will only end up making things worse!" Zane Zuo answered firmly: "Nolan Nie's troops retreated along this road, and the Japanese pirates will surely follow and advance quickly." "How do you determine that the Japanese will surely follow and advance quickly?" Zane Zuo could no longer bear it: "Nie's troops were defeated along this road, and the Japanese will certainly know how to pursue the victory!" York Ye was so frightened that he was flustered for a while, and after a long while he used his commander's style: "I order you to lead the troops to defend the city, not to lead the troops out of the city!"

Zane Zuo was so angry that he didn't respond and turned away. Returning to the battalion headquarters, he made a knife-like sound to the master who was waiting for good news: "York Ye is a soulless man and cannot be saved. I have made up my mind. Just wave your pen." The master asked in surprise, "Is there any room left?" Zuo Guoguo concluded: "If this person doesn't go, Pyongyang can't defend it." 

The master sucked. He said angrily: "This report violates the rules. What if Long Yan is furious?" Zuo Guigui held his head high and said: "The scar on my head is nothing more than a scar as big as a bowl. Just write it!" The master had to adapt a little: "Let's attack it on both sides. He not only submitted a memorial to the emperor, but also reported it to Lyle Li. Although Lyle Li valued people from Anhui, he did not dare to make mistakes in matters of right and wrong. "
