"Fifty thousand warhorses, your Qin Kingdom really has a large appetite!"
"If our Wei Kingdom had fifty thousand troops, perhaps the former Han Kingdom wouldn't have been destroyed by your Qin Kingdom!!"
Clearly, the Wei people had significant objections to the fifty thousand warhorses mentioned by Lin Tian.
However, Lin Tian didn't care about their opinions.
If they couldn't pay, then it would be a war.
"If your Wei Kingdom does not compensate for the warhorses lost by our Qin Kingdom, then do not blame us Qin people for avenging our own!"
"All soldiers, listen to my orders, prepare to attack the city!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Tian's army immediately moved.
One hundred and fifty thousand troops were indeed a huge pressure for the Wei Kingdom.
Especially when this army of one hundred and fifty thousand was led by Lin Tian, the Wei army's commander, Wang Yi, began to sweat.
He didn't know what would happen next, but he knew he had to defend the cities of Wei.
Once this place fell, their Wei Kingdom would also perish.
"All soldiers, listen to my orders, defend the city!!"
He had no other thoughts, and no intention of actively attacking Lin Tian's army.
All Wang Yi wanted to do was defend the city.
Therefore, his army of three hundred thousand stood in strict formation on the border.
As soon as Lin Tian's army approached, they would, just like last night, shoot arrows wildly and fiercely resist Lin Tian's army's attack.
However, this time Lin Tian did not truly attack. He only had his army make a probing attack. After sensing the Wei army's firepower, he ordered the army to retreat.
This kind of retreat left the Wei army bewildered and puzzled.
"What is Qin Kingdom's Lin Tian trying to do? Could it be that they don't dare to casually attack our Wei Kingdom's border?"
"Impossible, Lin Tian of Qin has already destroyed three kingdoms, how could he lack the courage to attack our Wei Kingdom's border? This must be his strategy!"
"That's right, this must be Qin's probe. We cannot relax our vigilance. If we relax our vigilance, they might take advantage of our weakness!"
Everyone agreed with these words.
Even Wang Yi felt the same way.
Therefore, although Lin Tian's army did not attack, the defensive strength of the Wei army did not slacken at all; it even became stronger.
Facing such a powerful enemy as Lin Tian's army, any relaxation on their part could lead to their complete annihilation.
Therefore, they defended their Wei Kingdom's border with extreme seriousness.
On the other side, Lin Tian appeared much more relaxed.
After probing the Wei army's firepower once, he ordered the army to retreat.
Now, it was time for them to truly discuss how to deal with the Wei army.
"You have all seen the firepower of the Wei army. Their destructive power is not low. How can we minimize our casualties?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
In fact, with the means at Lin Tian's disposal, his army could force its way through the Wei border.
However, doing so would inevitably result in heavy casualties.
A frontal assault was sometimes effective, but sometimes not worth it.
Therefore, Lin Tian was seeking a method to capture Wei with the least possible loss.
This kind of method posed a greater challenge to everyone.
Many fell into contemplation.
After a long while, Wang Wu spoke in a perfunctory manner.
"Great General, why don't we take the waterway to sneak attack the Wei army?"
"There are many canals in the Wei Kingdom. I think it should be possible for us to infiltrate Wei through the canals!"
Wang Wu's idea was very simple. Since they wanted to minimize losses, a sneak attack was naturally the best option.
However, not many people agreed with this idea.
Lin Tian also spoke.
"Taking the waterway is one method, but its effect is not great!"
"Firstly, the waterway cannot accommodate many soldiers. Even if soldiers can enter, it will only be a small number! They cannot fight, only destroy!"
"Secondly, the Wei people are numerous, and there should be people guarding the waterways, preventing us from passing. If the army really goes through, they might fall into a trap, which would also be a loss for us!"
"Therefore, this method is not very feasible!!"
It was clear that Lin Tian had rejected this method.
However, Wang Wu showed no signs of discouragement and continued to brainstorm.
As for the others, they were still deep in thought.
Only Han Xin seemed to have thought of something.
Seeing Han Xin's expression, Lin Tian guessed that he might have an idea.
Thus, he took the initiative to ask:
"Strategist, do you have any suggestions?"
"Great General, your subordinate does have an immature idea, but whether it succeeds or not is yet to be known!!"
"What idea do you have? Tell me!"
Hearing that Han Xin had thought of a solution, many people also turned their attention to Han Xin.
Everyone already knew Han Xin's background.
He was the top scholar in the Qin imperial examination this time, and also a talent that Lin Tian highly valued.
Therefore, everyone wanted to know what brilliant idea this talent would have at this moment.
Thus, they all listened attentively.
"My method is actually a method that the Great General has used before. Now, we are just using this method again!"
"That is for our army to pretend to be the army of the Chu Kingdom and then enter Wei!!"
"I heard that when our army reached the border, Wei had already sent for reinforcements from Chu and Qi. Although I don't know if they will agree to such a request, for us, this is an opportunity. We can pretend to be the Chu people who came before!"
"Moreover, we have enough Chu army armor in our camp!"
"However, this method is a bit risky. If it is seen through, our army may face great danger!!"
If the Qin army were seen through, or discovered by the enemy, their army would be in a lot of trouble.
It was even possible that this army would be completely surrounded by the Wei army and annihilated.
This method was undoubtedly a very risky one.
Therefore, before Lin Tian asked Han Xin, Han Xin had not proactively proposed this method.
Upon hearing this method, others also frowned, contemplating the feasibility of this plan.
What situation would they face if it failed?
But after hearing this method, Lin Tian's eyes lit up.
"I think this method can work!"
"Forcibly pretending to be the Chu army, the Wei army will naturally not believe it easily!"
"However, if we put on a show together for the Wei people, the situation will be different."
"As long as our performance is convincing, the Wei army will definitely believe that our soldiers are Chu troops."
"And once our army enters Chu, we can coordinate from the inside and outside, quickly disintegrating the Wei army!"
