This is also a matter without solution, who let the counterpart be a woman?

Moreover, a woman with such alluring beauty?

To catch the eye of Prince You, to be the woman favored by Prince You, how could she be simple?

Even if she doesn’t have any true virtues, even if she is just a vase, her weight in the eyes of Prince You could not be compared with us.

Because of this, when everyone thought of this, they secretly sighed, it seems that Prince You is merely a mortal.

Indeed, heroes find it hard to pass the beauty barrier.

In such national matters, to even blindly trust a woman’s words, this really is the biggest joke in the world.

But thinking about how she could wield complete military power, they all accepted even the most ridiculous things.

And now, after hearing Lin Yi’s words, everyone turned their gaze towards Leng Yu, yet the expressions on their faces didn’t hold much expectation, more so a look waiting to watch a show.

Because currently they have abandoned the idea of Leng Yu having any substantive viewpoint, and frankly speaking, now Dayou is already in others’ grasp, all they can do is humbly cope.

As long as they can find a way to survive, at worst when the others really attack the city, they could turn to Yan Country or Zhao Country,

Relying on their family background, relying on their lineage’s heritage, wanting to thrive under this new emperor should not be difficult.

Precisely because of this, each of them turned silent, only fixing their gaze on Leng Yu, waiting for her to continue speaking.

And Leng Yu clearly also noticed these gazes, but she ignored their thoughts.

Whether she is a vase, whether she has true virtues, she herself knows best, and it’s not decided by others.

After realizing all this, Leng Yu immediately bowed towards Lin Yi again while fixating her gaze on every minister present, especially Minister Wu.

When she fixed her gaze on Minister Wu, she spoke loudly:

"Just as Minister Wu said, our Capital City has 200,000 troops defending it, which is enough to deter lesser foes. If Yan and Zhao do not attack with their entire nation’s force, they have no chance of winning."

"Even if they attack with their entire nation’s force, the odds aren’t great, we possess natural advantage, location advantage, and people’s support thus we should focus on this aspect."

"

With these words, everyone present was stunned, none expected this woman to suddenly approve what Minister Wu had previously said.

What’s the meaning? Is she admitting she isn’t up to it, admitting she spoke wrongly, now softening with Minister Wu? But how could that be possible?

Not to mention everyone else, even Minister Wu himself was momentarily stunned, his gaze towards Leng Yu was full of confusion while pondering quickly, perhaps this is Leng Yu extending an olive branch towards him. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

If she truly befriends him, should he also socialize more with her in the future?

After all, she is the genuine confidant of Prince You, socializing with her has no downside.

Yet, just as he thought so, and just as all ministers thought so, Leng Yu’s voice rang out again, this time directly overturning what Minister Wu previously said:

"However, I want to ask one thing, Minister Wu, after such a long time of siege, has any of the ten cities been conquered?"

With these words, Minister Wu and everyone were stunned, then shook their heads helplessly.

He had just explained clearly, although they gathered a lot of force to attack a city, excluding the feigned attacks, no city was conquered.

But now Leng Yu is Prince You’s close confidant, therefore since she raised such a question, even though answers were given before, they had to explain once more:

"Haha, indeed no city has been conquered because we have enough troops, each city defended by nearly ten thousand garrison;

Moreover, leveraging city’s strength, natural advantage, location and people’s support, virtually they gained nothing,

In nearly half a month, our losses are minimal."

Upon saying this, Leng Yu notably nodded, then asked again:

"Well then, may I ask, since we incurred minimal losses, what about the opponent? Did their troops suffer heavily during the siege?"

Minister Wu chuckled and waved his hand, saying:

"Haha, the opponents aren’t fools, seeing us as difficult to overcome, they likely wouldn’t attack relentlessly.

Their current casualty is similar to ours, around hundreds per city, in such a grand war, it’s almost like zero casualty.

Of course, regarding why such a situation arises, they might be planning to starve our cities."

"Since ancient times, every battle had its own strategy,"

"Just like now, knowing we have many internal troops, strong garrison forces, perhaps holding firm might be paramount."

"General Leng might not know, sometimes a battle, a siege, could last almost two years."

When saying this, Minister Wu perhaps intentionally reminded Leng Yu.

This clearly showed, he was saying that Leng Yu is still young, and knows less about battlefield matters, even though now Prince You appointed her Grand General, she’s just a yellow-haired girl.

Regarding war situation, she knows too little, she is still too inexperienced, she has much to learn.

This rebuttal instantly gained joy from every minister present, each gaze towards Minister Wu was filled with delight.

Especially the smile between their brows, allowed Lin Yi to see clearly, but he still spoke not a word, instead quietly observed everyone’s expressions, internally forming some plans.

As for Leng Yu’s side,
