Chapter 175: Am I the Kind of Emperor Who Cant Tolerate Useless People? (2 / 2)
Xu Yanmiao seemed to catch sight of something, his pupils slightly widening.
[I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have underestimated pigs. At least pigs can charge forward. But if the leader itself is a pig, then there’s truly no saving it.]
Before the officials from the Ministry of Personnel could even snicker at how sharp-tongued Xu Lang had suddenly become, they heard him say:
[Having soldiers fight according to a battle formation is one thing—there is a rationale to proper deployment. But for the Prince of Jibei himself to “personally take to the battlefield”… Does sitting on a high vantage point with a telescope, sending orders through a messenger, truly count as being “on the battlefield”?]
The officials visibly grimaced, their expressions difficult to describe.
Ah, well…
You either relinquish control entirely and let your frontline generals act freely, or you take full command yourself and stay in the central tent. Trying to micromanage while prioritizing your own safety? What kind of nonsense is that?
And relying on messengers to relay orders? Sure, they can signal using flags in an organized army, but if you’re far from the action… by the time the messenger gets there, the battlefield would have changed entirely!
If His Majesty had conducted battles this way back in the day, his head might have ended up on the enemy’s table in no time.
