Chapter 219: The Battle of the Kings
Qinzhou.
The news of the alliance between the four kings and Bai Ze came and shook the entire Qin land.
Suspicion of a great war looms.
For a time, officials from all over the country rushed to Qinzhou, intending to meet Xiao Yuan.
This was not Xiao Yuan who summoned them, but everyone spontaneously, because this battle was related to the survival of Qindi, and it was the army of the four countries that they were facing.
Whether it is war or peace, all officials naturally want to make their own remarks and admonish Xiao Yuan.
The 400,000 army, how huge the scene is, it can be said that the world is connected, and the battle line can stretch for dozens of miles.
And now, after the merger of Shu, the combined strength of the comprehensive army is only 200,000.
What's more, it was the kings of the four kingdoms, each of whom only sent 100,000 troops, and in his country, there were even more troops.
On the face of it, this is a war of disparity.
Qin, there is almost no possibility of winning.
Therefore, many officials were ready to suggest Xiao Yuan and ask for peace with the four countries.
In the conference hall on this day, the military generals gathered, but Xiao Yuan was delayed.
Everyone stood on the left and right, some were wearing civilian official uniforms, some were wearing general armor, and now that the lord had not arrived, everyone naturally began to chat about it in advance.
In the hall, from expressing opinions to each other at the beginning, it slowly evolved into arguments and noisy.
"In this battle, in the face of the division of the four countries, our army is in danger......"
"The difference in strength between the enemy and us is huge, and if we don't seek peace, it will be difficult to retreat from the enemy......"
"How to sum?"
"You can cut the land and bribe the silver."
"What Master Li said is simply ridiculous! What kind of vicious battle has my Qin army never fought! It is impossible to cut the land! β
"Before the end of the war, you and other civilian officials have become afraid of the enemy, which is ridiculous!"
"If you say it's a request for peace, it's better to just say surrender! It's just a little better! β
The civil and military generals were so noisy that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and at this moment, Xiao Yuan walked in.
Seeing him, the scene was instantly quiet, and everyone consciously stopped arguing, and then returned to their positions and stood up, and said in unison: "See the lord-"
"No need to be polite." Xiao Yuan raised his hand, then walked to the main seat and turned around, looked around and said:
"Today, the four countries are attacking me, the great enemy is present, you have a dispute, that is a good thing, here, this official tells you, this time, the rank can be known and said, and all the words in your heart will be spoken."
The Four Great Alliances, Xiao Yuan is only the lord of Qindi, he is also a human being, if you want to say that you are not nervous at all, how can it be!
It's just that this kind of nervousness, as the lord of the people, can't be shown on the face, otherwise, he, the lord is nervous, and the generals under his command will definitely not dare to have the heart to fight.
He also needs to hear the voices of everyone under his command.
"Say it, say your opinions, whatever they are, as long as it's from your heart." After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he got straight to the point and said, "Who will come first?" β
As he spoke, he glanced around again.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, and then, Peng Shuang was the first to hold back and come out to hug his fists:
"Lord, I'm the main battle!"
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan's spirit was shocked.
The latter continued: "The last general suggests that all the soldiers and horses be gathered and the four countries will be allied with the forces of the four countries, and fight to the death!" β
What he said didn't have a good strategy, but it was enough to show Peng Shuang's fighting heart, and what Xiao Yuan was most afraid of was that the generals didn't dare to fight, not how to fight.
At this time, Su Yi habitually clenched his fists with his hands, coughed as if sickly, and then said, "Lord, I am also the main battle." β
Xiao Yuan looked at him.
Su Yi continued: "The four kings attacked Qin with the intention of dividing up Qin's land, and this battle must be fought, otherwise, Qin will be removed. The 400,000 army sounds terrible, but the soldiers of my Qin army absolutely dare to fight! Even if you are defeated, you can retreat to Tongguan, even if you run out! And never back down! β
"That's right!" Zhao Mu followed and said: "Even if we are really defeated, no matter how bad it is, it is a big deal for us to go back to the Beiling area, and with the blood of my old Qin people, we will continue to deal with the armies of the four countries!" β
"I'm also the main fighter." Lian Xiao also stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Although the Four Kingdoms are strong, but if Qin wants to rise, this battle will be unavoidable, and you can fight a tough battle with Guan Qian and the Four Nations Alliance!" β
"That's right! I'm the main battle! β
"I'm the main battle!"
"Lord, I am also the main battle!"
For a time, many generals stood up one after another.
"My lord, my lord and." Li Minggui, the county guard of Shudi, stood up and said worriedly: "The division of the four countries, a total of 400,000 troops, this is only in front of the eyes, and our army, the battleable soldiers are only worthy of 200,000, among the 200,000, it is necessary to score a part to defend Xirong, and another part to defend the place, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, if the battle starts, the whole army is in danger." β
"En......" Xiao Yuan also looked at him slightly, but he did not make up his mind, but still gave everyone enough space to express.
"My lord, Lord Li is reasonable, although the soldiers of our army are brave, but Qin, after all, is a border land, and it is not a wise move to resist the army of the four countries in one place, and I hope the lord will think twice." Another civil servant followed.
"Yes, my lord, I can send an envoy to the four countries to make it clear about seeking peace, or cut off the six cities of Qin to Huan Jin, or cut the two counties of Shu to Wu Chu......"
Xiao Yuan glanced at him with a smile, but still did not speak, but motioned for everyone to continue to express their opinions.
The generals of the Qin army, most of whom started from the army, almost all rose up by virtue of their own military exploits, and their blood is visible, while the civilian officials are mostly from the state and county Shilin, the military generals are the main battle, and the civilian officials are mostly in peace, which is not surprising.
Xiao Yuan needs generals who dare to fight, and civil officials who are good at governing civil affairs.
At this moment, a partial general suddenly stepped out of the ranks, clenched his fists and said in a shocking voice: "Lord! The last general will attack! β
What the?
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but look at him, Xiao Yuan was also stunned, and then narrowed his eyes and looked at the general faintly.
You must know that fighting is not the same as attacking.
Attack is the momentum of taking the initiative to attack.
Xiao Yuan looked at him, squinted his eyes and asked, "How to attack?" β
The general shook and said: "We can't defend the mountain pass, we should raise troops to attack and kill the army of the four countries head-on!" β
His words were simple, but what he said was categorical, but after everyone in the hall heard this, they were stunned, but many civil officials snorted and laughed.
Xiao Yuan also curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
Seeing this, the general may feel that he was being made fun of, and he was embarrassed to retreat.
But looking at his back, Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed.
Immediately afterwards, he still did not make up his mind on this matter, but waved his hand and said: "Today's discussion, let's stop here, everyone go down first, eat and sleep well, tomorrow, the official will make his own decision." β
Hearing him say this, everyone first looked at each other, and then had to salute in unison: "Subordinates retreatβ"
When everyone left the hall and walked outside the Taishou Mansion, Liu Yuzhi grabbed Shangguan Wenruo and asked softly, "Who is the young general who attacked just now?" β
"He? Xia Ping, a low-level general in the Beiling army. Shangguan Wenruo first said, and then said:
"Xia Ping's words seem reckless, but in fact, he is talking about the heart of the lord......"
