Chapter 479: Don't ask for a decisive battle

In this debate in the Huan State court, only Sun Qi was the main battle, and the result can be imagined.

He talked to Huan Prime Minister Qiu Rong in front.

There was also a group of ministers in the back, who got together in twos and threes.

Someone stared at Sun Qi's back and whispered:

"Do you see his attitude today?"

"Humph! The little civilian, one step to the sky, the arrogance has become heavier and heavier......"

"I don't take us in my eyes everywhere, I really think who I am......"

"With this person here, the war in Huan Country is endless, and General Xiang Ge is still good......"

"Regarding this matter, General Xiang Ge has invited us and others to plan together, do you all have any good plans......

"Sun Qi must not be allowed to go on like this, otherwise, our status will be threatened......

If you play politics, Sun Qi, a military talent, will never be an opponent of these ministers.

It's just that people haven't been able to find the right opportunity.

At the same time, the Huan Liang front.

Huan Guo withdrew his troops and retreated on all fronts.

On the side of the Liang army, Xue Wu also received a letter from King Liang, the content of the letter was simple and clear, that is, he and Tang Yue Cai Yan led the army to the Qin Liang front line.

After receiving the royal order, Xue Wu didn't dare to delay, but before leaving, he still discussed it with Cai Yan.

The latter thought about it for a moment and said: "In view of King Huan's indecisive and vacillating character, on the border of Huanliang, it is best for our army to stay behind to prevent King Huan from suddenly changing his mind." ”

"Lord Cai is extremely worried, and I have this intention." Xue Wudao: "Then stay behind for 100,000, now there are about 300,000 on the Qin army's side, which is enough to deal with our troops." ”

This side was properly arranged, leaving a general behind, stationed at the Huanliang border, Xue Wu also immediately set off and rushed to the Jinling area.

The battlefield began to shift.

On the other side, inside Jinling City.

With Shi Zhen's retreat, the Qin army naturally occupied this place long ago.

Then, under the strong suggestion of Shangguan Wenruo, Xiao Yuan posted a notice to calm the people, and ordered the army not to burn, kill, loot, or disturb the people at will.

On this day, in the council hall, he also convened the generals and made a certain discussion on the next military action.

Peng Shuang took the lead and said: "According to the military situation, Sun Yao's 100,000 army is only a hundred miles away from Jinling, and the last general suggested that when the main force of the Liang army did not arrive, break through Sun Yao's defense line." ”

"En......" Xiao Yuan didn't decide immediately, but looked at everyone: "What about your opinions?" ”

Tian Zhudao: "I don't agree with General Peng's battle plan, Sun Yao, this person, cautious, seeing that my main force is approaching, he has already been in a deep ditch and a high base, and he refuses to come out, if he goes to attack, he will definitely fall into a bitter battle." ”

"I don't agree with that either." Shangguan Wenruo said: "The other side has an army of 100,000, and it is defending the barrier and occupies an absolute geographical advantage, if our army attacks, it will be a bloody battle, not to mention how many days it can be captured, even if it is captured, what is the significance of this battle?" ”

"At the cost of bloody battles and serious losses of soldiers, in exchange for such an insignificant line of defense, I really don't think it's appropriate."

"Yes, that makes sense." Xiao Yuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said:

"In fact, our army is not a question of whether to break through the line of defense in front of us, but a question of whether to fight a decisive battle when facing the main force of the Liang Army next."

"That's the point of discussion."

He changed the topic here, and everyone couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this.

Subsequently, Shangguan Wenruo said: "The minister thinks that he should not ask for a decisive battle. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." Tian Zhi followed.

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan motioned for the two of them to continue.

Shangguan Wenruo explained: "Now that our army has occupied Jinling, the king should completely stabilize the pace of our army's entry into the territory of the two countries, instead of seeking a quick victory. ”

"The decisive battle is for the Liang army, if they are defeated, the big deal is to retreat a few steps, but once our army loses the decisive battle, with the current situation, we must fully withdraw to the country."

"Therefore, the king should first pass through Jinling, take this as the foundation of attacking the cold, stabilize the situation, the grain, grass and ordnance are all delivered, and the troops will no longer have to worry, and then talk about the decisive battle, at that time, regardless of victory or defeat, our army can advance and retreat."

His opinion is very clear, that is, he suggested that Xiao Yuan should regard Jinling as his own territory, no longer have worries, and it is not too late to fight a decisive battle.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Tian Zhu.

The latter hurriedly bowed down and agreed deeply.

Attacking the cold, Xiao Yuan actually didn't want to delay, it was best to be able to fight a decisive battle quickly, but now the two strategists were both suggesting like this, and he had to reconsider.

In the decisive battle, are you sure that you will win?

Of course it is impossible.

War is hard to predict.

Once the decisive battle is lost, all the previous achievements will be lost!

This risk is a bit big.

Xiao Yuan weighed the pros and cons and decided to adopt the opinions of Shangguan Wenruo and Tian Zhu, and first stabilized.

His open-mindedness was revealed, and he clearly wanted to fight a decisive battle, but he chose to take the advice of his advisors.

After the general strategy was formulated, Xiao Yuan also began to really govern Jinling.

After Shi Zhen's defeat, although Liangguo lost Jinling, the people here were still there, and they did not flee backwards, but the officials ran away.

After all, Jinling is a county town, and there are still many big families in the city, and many people are worried that after the Qin army enters the city, they will rob their property.

But these worries are unfounded.

Coupled with the notice of the people, within a few days, the people dared to go to the streets, and the shops dared to open their doors, and then, although there was no prosperity and excitement on weekdays, but more or less, pedestrians could be seen.

Next, Xiao Yuan ignored Sun Yao's defense line, but sent several troops to begin to recover the various counties under the jurisdiction of Jinling.

He was going to occupy the county completely, as a basis, not as a temporary garrison.

He even ordered on the spot to order Tian to temporarily serve as the county guard of Jinling.

At the same time, the Liang Kingdom also had a heated discussion about the battle of Qin Liang.

In the court, some ministers said that Jinling really didn't dare to lose it like this.

Some people say that Jinling does not matter, what matters is the next battle situation.

Others said that the heart of the King of Qin to attack the cold should not be very heavy, and he should send envoys to deal with him, or he could avoid war.

Some people even said that instead of sending an envoy to Qin, it was better to send an envoy to Xuan, because King Xuan suddenly sent troops before.

Some people also say that it is better to enter Wu Chu and provoke a war in the world.

The ministers said everything, but none of them could say a specific strategic plan, King Liang was noisy and impatient, and couldn't help but pat the king's case and say: "Okay! ”

The king shouted angrily, and a group of ministers stopped their voices and fell silent.

At this time, the old prime minister of Liangguo stood up and said: "The battle of Qin and Liang today is inevitable, since the king of Qin is personally conquered, will the king also go to supervise the battle to boost the morale of our army?" ”

King Liang glanced at him: "The widow has this intention. ”

"I'm Wang Yingming." The old prime minister retreated again.

There is no doubt that the two kings of Qin Liang are about to have a life-and-death battle in the Jinling area.
