Chapter 259 Guess

The words that Ermao blurted out subconsciously seemed to have some kind of magic, which made Qi Xingyun's originally tense mouth corners slightly rise, outlining a subtle but not negligible arc.

Ermao frowned slightly and said with a slightly annoyed tone: "In fact, it's really nothing big. It's just that in recent days, our border areas have been harassed by foreign enemies. However, each time it's just a small-scale fight. These guys are like annoying flies, coming to make trouble from time to time, and then disappearing without a trace, and will not show up again until ten days or half a month later. It's really a headache! Moreover, we little generals have to take turns to lead people to change guards. Look, it will be my turn to lead the team next month. So this time I came back specially, just to ask my sister, see if she can help me come up with a brilliant idea to completely put an end to the enemy's endless harassment. By the way, come back to visit home."

Hearing this, Qi Xingyun nodded thoughtfully and continued, "In my opinion, winter is about to come, and the harvest in Xiliang this year is not optimistic. This winter is bound to be even more difficult for them. I believe that the enemy has taken advantage of this and is trying to take advantage of this intermittent and painless harassment to rob the people of their hard-earned food to solve their urgent needs."

"Brother Xingyun is right." Ermao agreed, "They are just making small moves like this, and it really puts us in a dilemma. After all, if we rashly start a large-scale war for this, it seems that the gains will outweigh the losses."

However, at this moment, Xiao Cao, who had been standing quietly by the side and listening, curled her lips nonchalantly and shouted with disdain: "Humph, what are you afraid of? Just keep all those guys who come to cause trouble here, so that they will never dare to do anything rash again! What is there to worry about?"

"Sister! Look at these guys, jumping up and down and making noise all day long. In fact, they are just taking advantage of the fact that we dare not easily provoke a war. If we rashly start a war without a suitable reason, we will be pointed at and criticized by other countries." Ermao frowned and said worriedly.

"Yes, Zhusong is right. We really need to find a legitimate reason and excuse, and we must not give other countries any handle to accuse us." Qi Xingyun nodded in agreement.

Xiao Cao'er suddenly seemed to remember something and began to mutter to herself, "I think that maybe they are not just trying to test us by doing these little things, but they may have other intentions. They may deliberately use this method to paralyze you, and after a few times, you will gradually get used to it and stop taking it seriously, and then you will unconsciously relax your vigilance.

By then, they will seize the opportunity to launch another large-scale attack, and they will be able to catch us off guard. And now winter is coming soon. If they come one or two more small-scale attacks, and then directly send a large army to capture our Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop, it will be bad. You know, once winter comes, it will be freezing cold and snowy there. It will be very difficult for us to retake Yanmen Pass!"

After hearing what Xiaocao'er said, Qi Xingyun and Ermao were shocked. They both straightened their backs at the same time, and their expressions became more serious.

Ermao said solemnly, "In my opinion, this is most likely what they are planning. We can't just sit there and do nothing! No, we have to report our guess to the general immediately so that they can take precautions in advance."

Qi Xingyun nodded slightly to show his agreement, but then he said, "Don't worry, this is just our guess at the moment. Let's calm down and think carefully about the various situations that may happen next. It won't be too late to inform the general after we have considered it carefully."

Qi Xingyun was not an inexperienced person. He had followed General Su to the battlefield more than ten years ago. Although the border had been peaceful for the past ten years and he himself had not been there, he knew everything about the border.

"We should indeed think carefully about this, and then think of countermeasures to see how to properly resolve these current problems." Ermao nodded in agreement.

At this time, Xiao Cao quietly reached out and picked up the ink stick placed beside her, and began to grind the ink slowly and steadily. While grinding the ink carefully, she was concentrating on thinking, muttering to herself: "First, we must sort out the various problems that exist in our army, and then list the materials that need to be prepared one by one, and carefully distinguish which ones we can solve by ourselves and which ones we must ask for support from outside."
