Chapter 480: Persuasion

More than ten days later, King Liang arrived at the front line.

He didn't come alone, but brought with him several important civil servants and advisers.

At this time, after a rapid march that lasted for half a month, Xue Wu's first department also rushed to Sun Yao's defense line.

The Liang army initially met the division, about 300,000 troops.

In the big tent of the Chinese army.

"See the King!" Everyone knelt on the ground in unison.

"It's all flat."

King Liang waved his hand casually, stepped forward, and sat down in the handsome seat directly above.

"King Xie!"

People got up and stood on the left and right.

The first place on the left, Xue Wu, is the head of the generals, and the first place on the right is Cai Yan, and the scene looks more like a small court.

This is an extremely important meeting, which is related to the strategic deployment of the Liang army in the future.

Judging from the lineup of both the enemy and the enemy.

On the side of the Qin army, the king of Qin was in charge, and on the side of the Liang army, the king of Liang also personally supervised the battle, and the king came to the front line in person, and the morale of the two sides should be about the same.

In terms of handsome talents, although Xue Wu and Zhao Mu have their own tactics, their comprehensive strength should also be among them.

In terms of tiger generals, Tang Yue vs. Peng Shuang, three hundred rounds, absolutely can't tell the winner.

In terms of strategists, Cai Yan was to Shangguan Wenruo, and the other strategists of the Liang Army were to Tian Zhi and others.

The strength of both sides is almost about 300,000.

And if you talk about the courage of the soldiers, the Qin people are still martial and warlike, and they are completely lifeless in battle, and they have retreated to the Xirong alien race.

The Liang army is as fierce as it is, and once pacified the Northern Desert.

Both sides are northern foot soldiers, fighting on land, and they are definitely first-class existences among the countries under the sky.

This is also the reason why Xiao Yuan has to destroy the Liang Army first, because this threat is too big!

To sum up, whether it is the troops, or the civilian and military generals, or the combat power of the soldiers, this is a big battle of the tip of the needle.

Therefore, based on this, Cai Yan immediately proposed that a decisive battle with the Qin army should be quickly fought and not delayed.

He said: "Now that Jinling has been lost, we must not let the King of Qin gain a firm foothold, and when the whole territory of Jinling has not completely fallen, immediately advance to the Pingjin line." ”

"When the King of Qin sees my army moving, he will not dare to let our army easily press in, so he can only be forced to engage in battle, and at that time, a total of 600,000 troops on both sides will be able to start an unprecedented battle in Pingjin!"

The Pingjin he spoke of was located between the Qin army and the Liang army, and there was an extremely vast plain.

And what he said was right, if the Liang army acted like this, Xiao Yuan would definitely not let his troops come to Jinling, and he could only fight with him on the Great Plains when he was forced.

However, after hearing this, King Liang's brows furrowed slightly.

Because this is not what he thinks in his heart, what he thinks about is to wait for the domestic army to gather again, and at that time, with an absolute superiority of troops, Xiao Yuan will be defeated in one fell swoop.

Now 300,000 against 300,000 makes King Liang somewhat unconfident.

At this time, Wang Meng, another strategist of the Liang Kingdom, also stood up, shook his head and said: "I don't agree with Lord Cai's opinion, if we fight a decisive battle now, it will be more disadvantageous to our army, and the Qin army is not easy to deal with." ”

"Oh?" When King Liang heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and asked, "What does Lord Wang think?" ”

Wang Meng said: "Instead of rushing for a decisive battle, it is better to send a small force of troops, divided into several batches, and constantly harass the Qin army, so that it is embarrassed and unable to take care of the left and right, and then, wait for the next batch of reinforcements of our army to arrive, and then overwhelm the other party with superior forces, so that the way to win is to win." ”

These words can be said to have reached the heart of King Liang, and he also thought so, and he couldn't help but nod slowly when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Cai Yan was a little anxious: "King! What is King Qin doing now? It is reported that the counties of Jinling are being pacified, and this is the best time for a decisive battle! If you miss it, it's too late to regret it! ”

King Liang looked at him: "Then in Lord Cai's opinion, our army is now seeking a decisive battle, how about victory or defeat?" ”

"This ......" Cai Yan hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "I can't predict." ”

"If you can't be sure, why take the risk?" King Liang asked rhetorically.

Cai Yan hurriedly said: "Throughout the ages, when it comes to war, how can there be an absolute 100% chance of winning, but if there is a little opportunity, it should be decisive, how can the king be afraid to fight because he can't be sure of victory or defeat." ”

He's right, even if it's five or five, as long as you don't dare to fight in your heart, you'll lose another point.

But when these words were heard in the ears of King Liang, he was a little displeased: "It's not that this king is cowardly!" But it won't be long before the 200,000 troops in our country will be assembled again, and at that time, our army will have a decisive battle with 500,000 troops, isn't it more likely to win? ”

"This!" Cai Yan was choked for a moment, and said hurriedly: "But the king! If you wait until that time, King Qin has already pacified Jinling and completely gained a foothold, and the opportunity has already been missed! ”

"Definitely." Wang Meng took over the conversation again and said: "Time is actually more favorable for our army, because this is fighting on our own soil, on the contrary, the longer it drags on, the more tired the Qin army will be. ”

"This is a lie!" Cai Yan said: "After a long time, Jinling completely belongs to the Qin State, and the Qin army will have endless grain roads!" ”

The two of them have completely different opinions, and they are both strategists, King Liang saw this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he looked at the two of them and said:

"What you two say has a certain amount of truth, but this king's side is still more inclined to Lord Wang."

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Xue Wu again: "What does the general think?" ”

"This ......," Xue Wu hesitated.

This is a strategic deployment, not a tactical issue, in fact, he can't say anything.

King Liang glared at him in displeasure, and then looked at the other generals and civil officials.

Seeing this, another strategist stood up and said: "The minister agrees with Lord Wang's opinion, after all, the battle of Pingjin is a battle of life and death, and it is better to be safe than to take risks. ”

"En......" Ryowang nodded.

Another human: "The minister thinks so too." ”

Except for Cai Yan, everyone in the Liang army thinks that it is not appropriate to fight a decisive battle now, but in fact, from their standpoint, this idea is reasonable, and there is no big surprise.

Ryowang is not an indecisive person, but in the absence of an answer he can't be sure, he will undoubtedly adopt the side with a larger number of people.

In the end, his decision was quickly made, and he waited for the second batch of reinforcements, first of all, to continue to harass the enemy army with cavalry.

After hearing this, Cai Yan secretly smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but say: "The king missed the opportunity......"

It's quite like everyone is drunk and I'm sober.

His analysis actually hit the nail on the head of Xiao Yuan!

If the Liang army seeks a decisive battle now, the chance of winning is definitely more than sixty percent!

Because of the reason to pacify the counties of Jinling, Xiao Yuan had to send a large number of troops and some important generals.

And behind the Jinling side, there are a large number of mountain bandits gathered, known as the Black Mountain Army, causing chaos everywhere.

At this time, Xiao Yuan undoubtedly has a lot of worries, and he may be defeated.

But King Liang just missed the correct answer.
