Qinzhou, Sun Qi's house.

After entering Qin, his current identity is the guest secretary of Qin, and he naturally has his own residence.

At home, Xiuniang knelt opposite and was pouring tea for her.

The husband and wife respect each other as guests.

Xiuniang is from everyone's beautiful background, and after pouring tea, she couldn't help but say: "Husband, not long after you entered Qin, you encountered the union of the five countries, and you don't have any opinion on the current situation." ”

"What do you think, ma'am?" Sun Qi asked rhetorically.

"I'm afraid that the Qin State is in danger." Xiuniang said.

Sun Qi smiled and shook his head: "It seems that the Five Kingdoms are attacking Qin, and Qin is in an absolute crisis, but in fact, this is not an opportunity for the Qin State." ”

"Husband has such confidence in King Qin?" Xiuniang was slightly surprised.

"It's hard to say right now." Sun Qi shook his head slightly.

As soon as he said this, the door was knocked on lightly.

Xiuniang was just about to get up, but Sun Qi was already the first to stand up: "I'll go." ”

As he spoke, he also walked quickly to the door, and after opening it, he was stunned for a moment, and then gave a slight salute: "Lord Liang." ”

"The guest is polite." Liang Yuan returned the salute, and then went straight to the point and said: "The king is invited." ”

Half an hour later, the Qin Palace.

This time the meeting was not a court meeting, and the people involved were all military and political dignitaries, and there was no lack of office.

On the left, headed by Su Yi, stood a group of senior generals, and on the right, headed by Liu Yuzhi, stood a group of civil officials and strategists.

After everyone arrived, Xiao Yuan also got straight to the point: "Let's talk about it, what do you think about the union of the five countries." ”

Hearing this, the strategist Tian Zhi was the first to stand up: "Dare to ask the king, do you want to fight and make peace?" ”

"Can this battle be avoided?" Xiao Yuan asked rhetorically.

Tian said: "Although the five countries have issued a decree prohibiting Qin merchants, they have not yet made any alliances, and during this period, our country still has a lot of room for maneuver, or lobbying, or bribing ministers of other countries with a lot of money, mediating from it, and disrupting their joint plans. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan did not immediately express his position, but looked around: "What do you think? ”

Liu Yuzhi shook his head slightly, and said: "I think this matter is very difficult, heavy bribes, no way to start, and the countries have made this move, undoubtedly to show their respective attitudes, as long as the alliance is finalized, I am afraid it is time to send troops." ”

"The nations are attacking me, with Qin's own strength, this battle, the minister thinks that he can't take it, no matter what, he must do everything possible to obstruct their alliance." Tian Zhu said again.

It's just that as soon as his words fell, Su Yi immediately retorted: "No, I think that instead of doing useless work, it is better to urge the countries to speed up the pace of attacking Qin." ”

"What?" Tian Zhi thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and said in shock: "The general wants to use the strength of one country to counter the five-nation alliance? Isn't it a joke! Where is my Qin country! ”

"This is not a joke." Su Yi said: "The alliance of the five countries can no longer be changed, this war will come sooner or later, and in terms of the current situation of our country, it is better to come sooner rather than later." ”

As he spoke, he faced Xiao Yuan again, and said: "King, in this battle, if you can retreat from the army of the five countries, all the countries will be exhausted, and from now on, you will no longer be able to stop the king from dominating the world!" In the eyes of the Five Kingdoms, this is an opportunity to destroy Qin, but in the eyes of Weichen, it is also an opportunity for my Qin State to rise completely! ”

"That's right!" As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Shuang echoed in a shocking voice: "What is the five-nation alliance, tell me to say, fight with them!" Directly switched, the king gave an order, and all the forces of our Qin army were mobilized, and the victory and defeat were decided in one battle! ”

This was the words of the puppet, and after Xiao Yuan heard it, he couldn't help but glare at him.

At this time, Sun Qi stood up and arched his hand and said: "The minister agrees with what General Su Yi said, the alliance of the five countries is a foregone conclusion, if the war starts, our country must fight, but it must not be easily switched, especially Shanyu Pass, which will be the top priority for our country to repel the coalition forces." ”

Xiao Yuan glanced at him and Su Yi, and said: "Both of them think that it is better to fight late than early, this king has also thought about this problem, but there are still many doubts, to put it simply, the five countries will not listen to you, when they fight, this is an uncontrollable thing." ”

Why do you say that you want to fight early, it is because the five countries have begun to unite with the weak Qin, and the longer it drags on, the more Qin's national strength will be hit, on the contrary, the five countries will become stronger and stronger.

It's a trade-off.

The temporary stability of the figure now will bring greater disasters to the future, and once Qin is weakened to a certain extent, it will be easier for the Five Kingdoms to destroy Qin.

Xiao Yuan has already seen through this truth.

When Sun Qi heard this, he said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, why should you rely on the arrangement of the five countries in this battle?" Right now, the king can order an elite army to go out of Ningyang, go down the river, and directly attack the state of Wu! Preemptive! ”

"King Wu will be shocked, and he will definitely contact the other four countries urgently, at this time, they can't help it, we will seize the initiative on the battlefield first."

After listening to what he said, Xiao Yuan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Yes, I don't care if you don't unite the Five Nations Alliance, I will beat you Wu Guo first! You want to delay the time and weaken Qin, but I just force you to fight now.

Su Yi couldn't help but glance at Sun Qi, and then hugged his fist at Xiao Yuan and said, "This strategy is good, and the minister seconded it." ”

If the opinions of the two of them are adopted, it means that the war is about to begin, and the Qin State is going to fight five battles.

Seeing this, there was inevitably a commotion, Jia You pondered for a while, and said: "It is inevitable, and the minister also agrees to advance the war, but my country's current troop deployment has certain problems. ”

"What did you say!?" Hearing this, Peng Shuang was immediately unhappy, and said loudly: "These two places were captured by the soldiers of our army who fought bloodily!" How can you give it to others!? If the coalition forces come to attack, they can hold on to these two cities desperately! ”

"The victory or defeat of a war is not in one city or one pool." Jia You said calmly: "If the five countries attack Shanyuguan, Yiyang and Puyang, they will definitely be attacked the most fiercely, these two places cannot be defended, and it is meaningless, rather than losing the soldiers in vain, it is better to retreat as advance." As long as we hold the mountain pass, the five countries will not be able to attack for a long time, and we will be exhausted! ”

Although what he said was reasonable, Peng Shuang still said indignantly: "You civil officials will say it! When your lips touch, it's two cities! How do you know the hardships of the bloody battles of the soldiers! ”

"That's it! There is no point in discussing Yiyang now! Xiao Yuan interrupted this argument and looked at Liu Yuzhi again: "Prime Minister, if the whole army moves, can the grain and grass support this big battle?" ”

"It can last for a year, and there is still dispatchable grain and grass in Shu." Liu Yuzhi replied with a positive color.

"Good!" Xiao Yuan no longer hesitated: "This king's will, start the war first!" ”
