It is not surprising that Liu Yuzhi is in charge of internal affairs, dealing with people's livelihood policies, money, grain and taxes, and he does not know some middle and low-level generals in the army.

And if Shangguan Wen sacrificed wine for the military advisor, he naturally knew everything about the Qin army.

These two people are also the two most important civil officials under Xiao Yuan's command, but today's discussion, at the moment of such a big enemy, these two guys just didn't make a statement.

Right now, all the officials are walking outside the Taishou Mansion in twos and threes, and they are naturally talking about something while walking.

Liu Yuzhi and Shangguan Wenruo also walked side by side, thinking that the other party would also leave the house, but they didn't expect that after walking for a while, the two found that the other party was in the same direction as themselves.

Both of them were a little stunned, and then they both smiled again, and Shangguan Wenruo asked, "Brother Yu thinks, where is the lord now?" ”

"It should be in the study." Liu Yuzhi also smiled.

"Okay, let's see each other together."

Xiao Yuan was indeed in the study now, and he was not surprised by the request of the latter two, or rather, these were all expected by him.

When the three of them met, Liu Yuzhi and Shangguan Wenruo bowed down one after another, and gave a deep salute: "Lord." ”

"No need to be polite." Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slip and looked at the two, and said straight to the point: "Let's talk about it, let's talk about war and peace first, and then talk about the reason." ”

"Under the main battle." The two of them were on the same page.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart was settled.

Because these two civil officials are so important to him!

Subsequently, Liu Yuzhi took the lead and said:

"Although the lower officials do not know how to use troops and how to fight, they also know that our army cannot retreat in this battle.

"First, in the hearts of the military and people of my Qin land, the lord is the monarch, if the lord surrenders without a fight, it is for the death of the land, whether it can survive this crisis or not, the foundation must be shaken, and the king's industry is far away."

"Second, this battle is not only as simple as the Four Kingdoms attacking me, but is looked at sideways by the heavens, this is a war related to whether Qin can establish a country, if the lord retreats, the army of the Four Kingdoms enters Qin, from now on, there will be no more Qin in this world."

"Third, even if the lord cedes the land and bribes the silver, it will not solve the substantive problem at all, what the four countries want is to divide the Qin land and remove Qin, as long as the lord takes a step back, then he must retreat step by step, not only will not let the four countries withdraw their troops, but will let the four countries act more and more arbitrarily."

"Fourth, the Son of Heaven is mediocre, the empire is declining, the army and the people of Qin have the heart to support the lord, and the people want to see a new Qin state, so our army can get the support of the people in this war."

"Fifth, the generals in the army all have the heart to fight, and at this time, the soldiers of our Qin army can also go out!"

"Sixth, after the lord obtains the land of Shu, the grain, grass and ordnance are enough to support this war."

He said six reasons why he could fight and had to fight in one breath, and Xiao Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing it, and then looked at Shangguan Wenruo again.

Seeing this, the latter immediately said: "What Lord Liu said is a reason for war, and the subordinate officer deeply agrees, and in addition, our army also has a reason to win. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan's spirit was shocked and motioned for him to continue.

Shangguan Wenruo said: "Our army can win four. ”

"First, the soldiers of our army are all brave and good at fighting, but among the countries under the sky, they also agree that the Qin army is wearing cloth clothes and holding cultivation tools, this is because our army has never gone out of the customs to participate in the Central Plains hegemony, which will definitely make the four-nation alliance look down on, once they underestimate our army, they will become proud soldiers, and proud soldiers will be defeated!"

"Second, the Four Nations Alliance, which gathers an army of 400,000, seems to be menacing and devastating, but it is not. Because they are all attacking Qin for their own interests, once the offensive is frustrated, it will inevitably lead to internal contradictions. And the King of Jin is the leader of the alliance, with the Jin general Ren Ying as the commander of the coalition army, so will the generals of the other three countries really all obey Ren Ying? Once our army gives a head-on blow, and then divides it, its army will disperse! The military spirit of our army is condensed into a group, and the Four-Nation Alliance, at some point, if the Jin army wants to fight, but the Huan army doesn't want to fight, this problem will definitely happen! ”

"Third, the morale of all those who fight, and the performance of generals at all levels in the army can also be seen from the morale of our army."

"Fourth, the general trend of the world, the countries check and balance each other, why do the four countries dare to attack Qin, it is because they think that the Qin army is weak and can quickly destroy Qin in the shortest time, but once their goal cannot be achieved, but if they are frustrated, then the other countries, I am afraid it is time to take action."

"Therefore, the lord will not only have to fight, but also defeat the coalition forces in the first battle! Because once the lord is beaten and has no power to fight back, then no matter how many envoys are sent, it is useless, and once the lord defeats the alliance of the four countries for a while, the following countries will inevitably take the opportunity to use troops against the four countries when they see that the four countries will not attack Qin. ”

"Especially King Liang, if he sees that the war is stalemate, he will definitely take the opportunity to choose one of the four countries and annex the territory, when the time comes, the army of the four countries will not break the Qin land for a long time, and the rear will be looked down upon by other countries, and he will be defeated without a fight."

Liu Yuzhi listed six reasons to Xiao Yuan for fighting, and Shangguan Wenruo listed four reasons for Xiao Yuan to win.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan immediately stood up and said: "The words of the two of you will solve the last doubt in my heart, and this official has already made a decision on this matter." ”

The next day, in the council hall, civil and military officials gathered again.

Before Xiao Yuan came here, the hall was still noisy.

Some people are the main battle, and some people are the main peace.

"You and other civil officials, a bunch of dead wood and grass, all spineless, actually bitterly persuaded our lord to surrender, it's just ashamed to be with them!"

Someone was furious, and it was Liu Changqing who spoke, which naturally attracted some people's accusations.

"Lord Liu said wildly! Even more ridiculous! ”

"This person really doesn't know the height of the sky, that's the four-nation alliance......"

Another general gathered together: "No matter what those civil officials say to the lord, we and other generals in the army must strongly advise the lord that this battle must be fought!" ”

While people were clamoring and shouting, Xiao Yuan arrived.

The scene was instantly quiet, and people returned to the train and saluted, and he also walked to the main seat, and then looked around.

The civilian and military generals below are all looking at him without blinking, because his next words will directly decide whether this battle will be fought or not.

After sweeping through everyone, Xiao Yuan said directly:

"I have made up my mind, this battle must be fought!"

Hearing this, the spirits of the generals were shocked, and many civil officials were a little dumbfounded, and then they all knelt on the ground, and Li Minggui said even more sadly:

"My lord, the matter of seeking peace is for the great benefit, if there is a war, how can our army resist the division of the four countries, at that time, I am afraid that Qin will be in danger......"

"I hope the lord will think twice......"
