Shangguan Wenruo said: "Today's general trend, Huan State is attacking Xincheng, wanting to balance Qiang Jin, Liang State is leveling the Northern Desert, wanting to be the overlord of the north, Wu and Chu are fighting with Yan and Ling, Xuanguo, is fighting for the crown prince, only Qin is out of the east, not in the land of the Eight Kingdoms." ”

"The lord can lead the Qin army, send troops to three places, take Puyang and Yicheng, as the way to stay, cut off the southern line, and even the left of Yuyang, near the suburbs of the royal family, the Shang family will not dare to come out, at that time, the lord can deter the Son of Heaven, the world will not dare not listen, this is the royal industry is also ......"

After listening to him, everyone nodded again, the civil officials talked left and right, and the generals were gearing up and were quite excited.

Peng Shuangna was the first to can't help it, and then came out of the queue and said: "Lord! The last general thinks that what Lord Shangguan said is too reasonable! According to this strategy, our Qin army will definitely be out of the world! ”

"Yes, my lord, please give the order, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Goldman Sachs said.

"I only need 20,000 elite soldiers, and within ten days, I will be able to capture Puyang! If you don't win, come and see you! ”

"I only need 20,000 soldiers, and within five days, I can go to Puyang!"

The generals were in high spirits, and they all wanted to make contributions.

Su Yi closed his eyelids slightly and said nothing.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Xiao Yuan's eyes also flashed, but he did not make a decision immediately, but waited.

He knows that there are still people who have different opinions!

Sure enough, when the scene was a little quieter, Zhao Mu stood up.

"My lord." He first bent down with his fists clenched, saluted Xiao Yuan, and then said concisely: "It is better to take Puyang and Yicheng, than to cut down Shu." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan's spirit was shocked and motioned for him to continue. Zhao Mu continued: "The last general foretold Lord Shangguan's strategic plan. ”

"The advantage of the three places lies in the fact that Qin can go east, deter the royal family, and balance the world, but its disadvantages are also in the three places, if our army takes Puyang and Yicheng, it may be used as a strategic artery, and it can be attacked and defended, but it is by no means a long-term plan."

"The world is chaotic, and the harm of the three places will bear the brunt, and the policy of Lord Shangguan is clear in terms of pros and cons, and each is half of it, and it is not the best policy of the soldiers."

"Therefore, instead of the three places in the Central Plains, it is better to cut down Shu, and Shu, in the southwest of Qin, if you take its land, it can be connected with Qin, at that time, the entire left territory of the empire will be owned by the lord, and then you can talk about going east."

Xiao Yuan still didn't speak.

Shangguan Wenruo thought for a while and said: "Shu, a remote country in the southwest, is not enough to become famous, and it is not enough to gain its land. ”

"Lord Shangguan's words are ...... wrong"

Zhao Mu began to argue with Shangguan Wenruo in front of Xiao Yuan.

He said: "The last general has heard that those who want to enrich the country must spread their land, those who want to strengthen the army must enrich their people, and those who want the king must have all three of them, and the king will follow." ”

"Today, under the management of the lord, although Qin is under great rule, compared with the Chinese countries, it still belongs to the land of small people and poor and bitter cold, so the ministers are willing to engage in Yi."

"Fushu, although the land is in the southwest, living in a remote corner, but the ancient name is Sichuan Shu, fertile for thousands of miles, I don't know the famine, there is no famine, the world is called Tianfu."

"If you take its land, even Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, it is enough to expand the country, Shu brocade, it is even more famous all over the world, and its wealth is enough to enrich the people."

"And the lord of Shu is dim, he doesn't manage the government inside, and he doesn't govern the army outside, if he attacks it with Qin, it's like making the tiger and wolf chase the sheep!"

He said so much in a row, and the reasons for refutation were sufficient, and the reasons for cutting Shu were even clearer.

And what he said, in a nutshell, is to first determine the southwest, connect the left part of the empire's territory into one, and then try to dominate the Central Plains.

After he finished speaking, he gave another salute and returned to the train.

At this time, everyone in the hall began to talk again.

Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, was holding his hands behind his back, carefully looking at the imperial territory behind him.

After a moment, he turned around, first glanced at the crowd, and then said in a loud voice, "Listen to the order!" ”

All the generals were shocked, and they all looked at him in unison.

"I mean to kill Shu!"

He made a decision directly, it stands to reason that Shangguan Wen Ruo is a strategist in the army, and his opinion, Xiao Yuan should pay more attention to it, and on weekdays, he also trusts the latter very much, but in this policy, he listened to Zhao Mu's opinion.

That's where his wisdom comes in.

When the people heard this, they all gave their respects.

Now that the strategic policy has been decided, the next step is to study how to use troops.

Xiao Yuan asked people to take the map of Sichuan and Shu, and then spread it in the center of the hall, and then beckoned: "It's all close." ”

When people heard this, they gathered in front of the picture.

Sichuan and Shu counties, but there are many more than Qin, and its territory is also larger than Qin, but it belongs to the southwest corner of the empire, and it is not in the political center at that time.

After Xiao Yuan looked at it carefully, he drew out his battle sword, pointed to the place bordering Qin, and took the lead in saying:

"Please look at the ranks, if you enter Shu from Qindi, there are two normal marching routes, the first place is to directly attack Tongguan, and once Tongguan is broken, you will enter Shu."

"The second place is to take the Sword Pavilion Road, but this road is winding, many steep mountains, if the Shu army knows, I am afraid that it will be ambushed. In addition, if the Shu army guards the main road, the sword pavilion road will not be passed. ”

"My lord is right." Zhao Mu continued: "The soldiers are fast, in the opinion of the last general, now the Lord of Shu does not know the actions of our army, therefore, there should not be many defenders of Tongguan, but they can take advantage of their unpreparedness to directly use blitzkrieg to break through Tongguan, and then choose the opportunity to capture the city in the pass......"

"En......" Xiao Yuan nodded slowly.

But at this time, Su Yi pointed to a mountain range and said, "There is a third way." ”

He didn't speak, and Xiao Yuan couldn't help but glance at him when he heard it.

The latter explained: "If the lord gives me 30,000 elite soldiers, I will travel through the Qinling Mountains and reach the Tianshui of Shudi, without even using Fuling, and directly attack Zitong and approach Yizhou!" The First World War is decided! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart moved.

But Zhao Mu objected: "General Su Yi's strategy is really dangerous, not to mention the price that needs to be paid to cross the Qinling Mountains, even if you can reach Tianshui, what about the follow-up grain and grass supply?" ”

"As the general said, Sichuan and Shu are fertile for thousands of miles, and there is no food in the sky?" Su Yi said directly: "I only need to win a few days' food to be able to cross the Qinling Mountains." ”

"Even if you can capture Tianshui, but this is too risky, if the Shu army is surrounded and suppressed by then, General Su will die without a place to be buried." Zhao Mu continued.

His combat philosophy is obviously different from Su Yi's.

When the latter heard this, he did not argue too much, but said: "Soldiers, tricks, the key to the art of war lies in a strange word, if you attack the city step by step, how can you come to the strange soldiers?" ”

"But this ...... Still too risky. Zhao Mu said worriedly.

This strategy is indeed very dangerous, and once it is perceived by the Shu army, the consequences are unimaginable.
