Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 376 Opportunity or Trap?

"Do you think my plan will work tonight?"

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Song Yuan not only did not explain, but instead asked Murong Lie.

Murong Lie clenched his fists and seemed extremely excited at the moment. In response to Song Yuan's question, he nodded first.

"I think it's very suitable!"

"I don't think it's that simple!"

Song Yuan showed a bitter smile on his face and slowly shook his head under Murong Lie's fiery gaze.

"Since you can see the problem, you must know how fatal such details are!"

"So I'm still hesitant. Is it that the other party really didn't anticipate this, or has the barbarian princess already thought of this?"

"Is this a real loophole, or a trap left by the other party just to lure us in?"

"This..." Sensing Song Yuan's worry, the smile on Murong Lie's face suddenly became much more serious.

He hadn't thought about it so much before, but he just felt that such an opportunity should not be missed!

Even though he noticed Song Yuan's worry, after meditating for a while, he still insisted on his own opinion.

"Your Majesty, perhaps it's just as you said. Behind this great opportunity, there is a high possibility that there is a trap specially set by the enemy!"

"But in my opinion, if we continue to wait, we may not be able to wait for a chance of survival. Now, this weakness may have other intentions, but with such a reward, even if it may be a trap, we must give it a try!"

"At least, we shouldn't waste the great opportunity before us!"

"You are right!" Noticing Murong Lie's insistence, Song Yuan nodded.

Then he patiently reminded her, "So, just in case, we should be more cautious and make at least some preparations before taking action!"

"No, what on earth are you two talking about?"

Seeing the communication between the two, everyone's heart was moved at this moment. Wei Da, who had been patient for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in anymore and jumped out first, saying the issue that everyone was particularly concerned about.

Can you two stop playing guessing games?

Sometimes this doesn’t work, sometimes that doesn’t work.

Are you trying to make fun of us fools?

Sensing the resentment in Wei Da's pupils, Song Yuan smiled and then shook his head.

Just as Song Yuan had commented before, when it comes to charging into battle, Wei Da is definitely a good player. Looking at the entire Qin Dynasty, he is probably one of the best.

But only Wei Da's brain was unable to understand it.

Think about everything first, you never know when you might suffer a loss!

With a feeling of emotion in his heart, under the expectant gaze of everyone, Song Yuan finally revealed the final mystery.

With his eyes narrowed and a smile on his face, he uttered four short words: "Our plan is simple...burn down the entire camp!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's pupils dilated.

The generals present all widened their eyes and looked in the direction of the barbarians!

With the ideas provided by Song Yuan, at this moment, everyone felt that the doubts that had been lingering in their minds were resolved.

That’s right, the barbarians’ advance did bring everyone a great opportunity!

As the distance between the barbarian camp and the border town shortens, if everyone leaves the city and advances at the risk of their lives.

It is entirely possible to rush into the barbarian camp before the enemy can react!

The opponent was only concerned with defending the east and west sides, but forgot the biggest goal.

And if they took this opportunity, the advancing Qin cavalry would directly set a fire.

Those tents connected together would probably catch fire immediately!

The material used by the barbarians to make their tents was originally cow and sheep skins, which are very good fuel in themselves. In the sea of ​​fire, with the help of such raw materials, the fire can spread quickly immediately!

Even by then, the fire was contained.

You can also take this opportunity to burn all the food and supplies in the opponent's hands!

In this way, the barbarians have no food to support them, and their tents are damaged. How can they delay time with everyone in the cold winter?

By then, I’m afraid I don’t know how many people will freeze to death in the cold wind.

Food is in short supply and there is a lack of tools to keep warm.

What confidence do the barbarians have to surround everyone?

In this way, the so-called momentum will naturally collapse on its own. No wonder Murong Lie said before that perhaps the situation can be broken today!

This statement is not false!

"Brother, you are really amazing. Why didn't I think of this?"

After realizing what was happening, Wei Da, with some excitement, immediately reached out his hand and slapped Song Yuan on the shoulder.

"Brother, it seems to me that this barbarian princess is really devoted to you. She is only focused on catching you, and now, her flaws are finally showing!"

"He's neglecting even the most basic things. He's basically digging his own grave!"

Wei Da's words expressed everyone's thoughts, and everyone followed suit and laughed.

However, this emotion only lasted for a few seconds, and soon the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but think of what Song Yuan had said before.

What if this is a trap?

It is indeed possible that the barbarian princess was too greedy and reckless to pay attention to details.

But judging from the abilities that the other party has demonstrated before, it is not impossible to lure the enemy into deep territory!

Could it be that the barbarian princess arranged it this way on purpose to expose these flaws to everyone?

If you only think about scheming against others, and end up falling into the enemy's trap, then your brothers who are trying to break through will likely be trapped in the enemy's encirclement.

Whether he can come back is still unclear!

This will inevitably result in casualties.

The situation was already at a disadvantage, and if more people were lost, the situation would become even worse.

"Even if it's a trap, I think you should give it a try! After all, such a great opportunity can't be missed!"

"That's right. I think the effort involved in this matter is manageable. We only need two thousand men and should be able to achieve our goal!"

"That's right, we must make a choice on the battlefield. We must stop it as soon as possible without delay!"

"Your Highness, this is a great opportunity that we must not miss. We should give it a try..."

For a while.

Everyone started to dissuade him.

Seeing that Song Yuan remained silent, Wei Da was so anxious that he scratched his head and spoke directly to express his opinion.

"Brother, why are you still hesitating? I only have one chance. If you are really worried about something, then leave it to me!"

"You give me two thousand men, and I'll take care of everything else. I promise to burn down the entire camp and give you a bright and clear view tonight!"

After hearing this, the generals standing by were all excited.

"Leave this kind of thing to me, and I guarantee I can complete the task!"

"And me, count me in. If you say you have less experience than me, let me do it!"

In such a scramble, Wei Da became even more anxious. He put his hands on his hips and glared.

"What are you doing? This is my chance to make a name for myself, and you're trying to snatch it from me, right?"

"Do you believe that after I come back, I will challenge you to a duel every day?"

Seeing Wei Da's stubborn appearance, everyone couldn't help but feel a little wary. He was a well-known martial arts fanatic in the army. If anyone was entangled by him, he would probably be skinned alive if not killed.

Hearing the quarrel in front of him, Song Yuan's eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of bitterness.

I felt even more emotional at this moment.

There is never a shortage of courageous people in the Qin Dynasty!

I have explained things very clearly. Even a fool would understand that being selected into those two thousand people is tantamount to committing suicide!

In the case of severe shortage of troops, even if the fire can be lit, returning safely will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

The barbarian army was probably as large as one hundred thousand men, and a mere two thousand men would be like a small wave in the sea when they collided with it.

How can it be as simple as people say?

What opportunity is there to achieve success?

It's clearly a suicide mission!

It's obvious that everyone wants to sacrifice themselves to save others in this way!

"Your Highness, things have developed to this point. If you ask me, there is no need to hesitate. A general's success is built on the sacrifices of thousands of soldiers. Sometimes sacrifice is unavoidable on the battlefield!"

"I know your character, but time is running out. We only have one chance. If we don't move forward now, we will miss the golden opportunity."

Seeing that Song Yuan still hadn't spoken up until this moment, Murong Lie couldn't stand it any longer. Noticing the pity in Song Yuan's eyes, he hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Your Highness wants me to say that even if it's a risky attempt, sacrificing two thousand people is worth it. After all, as long as we win, it will be equivalent to completely getting rid of the current predicament. What are you still hesitating about?"

As a smart man, Murong Lie could naturally see that once these two thousand people left, it would be like having one foot in the gate of hell.

But even so, there is still no choice.

The rewards are so great that one must try even if it means there are traps.

"Okay, I get it. But this isn't something you can just nod your head to. Go ahead and collect the fuel. Didn't you use the fat from the war horses you killed earlier to boil down into oil?"

"I'd like to take advantage of this time to think about it. Maybe there's a more reliable solution. Don't worry!"

Faced with such a statement, Song Yuan frowned, waved his hand, and gave an order.

"Your Majesty..."

"I said everyone go back!" Murong Lie on the side was about to speak again, but was stopped by Song Yuan directly.

"I've already said that I need to think about it. When I offered you the advice, you promised me that you would listen to me in everything!"

"There's still time, and everything is still possible. At least I can say that after you're prepared, if there's no better solution, then we can proceed as planned. How about that?"

Seeing that Song Yuan finally gave in, the others looked at each other and left the city wall.

For a moment, there was complete silence all around Song Yuan. A cold wind was blowing. Song Yuan looked into the distance with a deep look in his eyes.

"Do you really think this is a trap?" At this moment, Situ Jing was the only one left by Song Yuan's side.

Glancing back at the woman he loved so deeply, Song Yuan shook his head and gave a wry smile: "No matter what, two thousand lives are lives. As the commander, I naturally have to be responsible for them!"

"You and I have both witnessed the princess's abilities before. It seems to me that she couldn't have failed to notice such a simple oversight!"

"So I'm more inclined to believe that perhaps this is clearly a bait!"

Looking at the tents gathered together in the distance, Song Yuan's eyes were deep.

I secretly complained in my heart.

Luo Jia's move now really put him in a difficult position.

If, in the end, two thousand people failed and nothing came of it, how much self-blame would I feel?

"Okay, you go down first. I like quiet time when I'm thinking. You don't need to persuade me. I just want to be alone!"

Noticing a hint of confusion on Situ Jing's face, Song Yuan waved his hand and spoke.

For a moment, Situ Jing nodded silently, turned around and left, came to the top of the wall, and glanced back at Song Yuan's back.

The prince is so lonely at this moment...still standing tall in the cold wind.

There was a hint of worry between his brows.

Who else can help him solve his problems?
