Chapter 573, Great Array 6

However, although it is easy to fight, it is not easy to win, especially to attack Zuo Liangyu. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

In the past, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated many times, and he was very jealous of Zuo Liangyu in his heart, although he had three or four hundred thousand horses in his hands at this time, and he still occupied Sichuan, a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if he was against Zuo Liangyu, he was still not sure.

If an army is always defeated by the same enemy, the whole army will be afraid of that enemy. It is absolutely possible to defeat before a fight. But no matter what, he always has to fight against Zuo Liangyu, if he doesn't fight at this time, he will fight in the future.

Just when he was hesitating, a guard suddenly came to report, and Tang Sai'er asked to see him.

Zhang Xianzhong was stunned for a moment, thinking that she hadn't left? How did you come back again? So he invited Tang Sai'er to come in, and Tang Sai'er saw the driver and said, "I saw that Mr. Pan had just left, so he must have the same meaning as me, and dissuaded the king from sending troops." ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded: "Yes, you can agree on the same opinion, Lao Tzu is very happy." This soldier can't be sent. ”

Tang Sai'er smiled slightly: "Then why is Your Majesty still hesitating?" Zhang Xianzhong said: "How does the military advisor know that I am hesitating? Tang Sai'er said: "When I persuaded Your Majesty not to send troops, I saw that Your Majesty wanted to send troops, but also did not want to send troops. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "So, the military advisor guessed Lao Tzu's mind? ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Your Majesty's intentions are actually not difficult to guess. Send troops, I'm afraid that the enemy can't defeat Zuo Liangyu, there is no benefit in losing the troops, don't send troops, the generals under him make trouble every day, and the people's grievances are getting bigger and bigger, and we don't send troops, just sit back and watch Zuo Liangyu's strength increase greatly. It's a nuisance in the future. ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "The military advisor is really good, it's really a worm in Lao Tzu's stomach, and he guessed it well." But since neither of you agrees to send troops, Lao Tzu will listen to you and stay put. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Actually, in my heart, I advocate sending troops, but I can't say that." Zhang Xianzhong said: "Why is this? Tang Sai'er said: "Because it is Li Yan who came, our relationship was very close before, and the King of Qin sent him here to definitely use me to persuade His Majesty to send troops." And if I help Li Yan, it will make His Majesty suspicious, so I can't agree to Li Yan's request. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "In this way, the military advisor also thinks that sending troops is the best policy. ”

Tang Sai'er nodded: "It's not just a good policy, but it's a godsend." Zhang Xianzhong said: "Really? Let's talk about it. Tang Sai'er said: "Our army has been idle in Sichuan for a long time, and the soldiers are holding back ruthlessly, and they will definitely fight hard when they go out to fight." Moreover, my Sichuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I took 10,000 steps back and said, even if this battle is unfavorable, we can retreat to Kuimen with the whole army, and Zuo Liangyu cannot attack it. In addition, this time, with the help of the Qin army, the attack was carried out from both sides, and the certainty of victory was great. Zuo Liangyu has 100,000 horses in his hands, but he must divide a part to resist the Qin army, because it is a land route, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is much stronger than that of the left army, and Zuo Liangyu does not dare to be careless. As for our side, there are only 60,000 or 70,000 horses at most, and if we gather more than 200,000 troops and defeat Zuo Liangyu in one go, there is hope. If you want to send troops, you must not hesitate, Zuo Liangyu has already begun to build a large number of warships, just to prevent us. ”

When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he nodded again and again: "The military advisor said it well." Lao Tzu didn't hesitate, and when he saw Li Yan tomorrow, he set a date with him to attack Zuo Liangyu together. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Your Majesty still has to listen to Li Yan's words first, and put forward some conditions to Qin Jun as much as possible, after all, he is here to beg us, and the initiative is in the hands of Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "This is natural, Lao Tzu never makes loss-making transactions, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, first get some benefits." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "As for what kind of benefit, has Your Majesty thought about it?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "I haven't thought about it, what is the strategic plan of the military advisor?" Tang Sai'er said: "The best condition is naturally to have territory, but at this time, the places occupied by the Qin army, in addition to Guanzhong and Hanzhong, are several counties in Henan. In Guanzhong and Hanzhong, the Qin army was defeated by his own force, and the king of Qin would never let go, and these two places are strategic places and the lifeline of the Qin army, so even if they ask for it, they will not let it go. Several counties in Henan, which do not border our Sichuan, are isolated outside the borders, and may be attacked at any time, and it is useless to ask for them, so we can't ask for the places occupied by the Qin army at the moment. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Then what do you want?" ”

Tang Sai'er said: "We can make a request to the Qin army, as long as Zuo Liangyu is taken away, the Huguang territory we have conquered, and the west of Wuchang is ours, and Wuchang can be given to the Qin army." ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Wuchang is the richest, why should you give it to Qin Jun?" ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Although Wuchang is good, once we control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuchang is a piece of R on the side of our mouths. And the condition put forward by Li Yan is that after defeating Zuo Liangyu, the Wuchang area will belong to us, and the areas of Suizhou, Xiangfan, and Shenxian will all belong to the Qin army, so that our men and horses can be cut off. Wuchang could not get the support of Sichuan, so it became a dead chess. ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded again and again: "Well said, well said." Just listen to the military division, and even if we can't beat Zuo Liangyu, we occupy these counties, and they are also close to Sichuan, which is also called a long-distance and close attack. ”

The two discussed, and Tang Sai'er took his leave.

Back in his house, Tang Hu hadn't slept yet, and when he saw his sister coming back, he came to inquire. Tang Sai'er sighed and said, "This time I can do my best." Zhang Xianzhong didn't listen to me very much, and began to guard against me. I only saw Pan Duao come out, but I didn't see him go in, so I can be sure that the surname Pan was there with Zhang Xianzhong early in the morning, and Zhang Xianzhong was discussing with him, and Pan Duao knew my thoughts, I must help Li Yan, but I couldn't help talk openly, I didn't agree with Li Yan's request, Zhang Xianzhong would think deeply, if I and Li Yan had the same tone, Zhang Xianzhong would not send troops. ”

Tang Hu said: "Now Zhang Xianzhong agrees to send troops?" ”

Tang Sai'er nodded: "It depends on what words Li Yan will use to refute Pan Duao in the court tomorrow, as I expected, the surname Pan must strongly oppose sending troops, and I have said to Zhang Xianzhong, it will be difficult to express my position tomorrow, everything will be said by Zhang Xianzhong." ”

Tang Hu said: "This surnamed Pan is very eloquent, is Li Gongzi his opponent?" In case he can't say that he can't be defeated and loses, Zhang Xianzhong is afraid that he will change his mind again. After all, this is a militaristic matter. ”

Tang Sai'er nodded, looking worried.
