At this time, Zhao Anling said:

"Master Hou, although Qiu County is good, but now our army whip is beyond his strength, and those who surrender are all coming for gold and silver without sincerity, if the situation changes, they may throw themselves into defending the country at any time, and our army's gains outweigh the losses."

"Mr. Zhao thinks so too?"

Bai Liyan asked rhetorically, and Zhao Anling seemed to have realized:

"Master Hou has other intentions?"

"Well, Qiu County is already too far away, if it weren't for the summer harvest, the supply of the Yin Heavenly King would have become a problem, so Ben Shuai didn't plan to steal Qiu County."

"Are you stupid?" Zhou Kong scolded: "Since you don't occupy it, what do you want to do if you let the King of Yin Tianwang recruit rebels in Qiu County, won't all the gold and silver spent be wasted!" ”

"Who said that all the gold and silver spent were wasted, did Ben Shuai say it?"

"You don't occupy Qiu County, but you have to spend gold and silver to buy people's hearts, this is not what it is."

Zhou Kong was straightforward and seemed to be very reasonable. Bai Liyan ignored her and continued to say to Zhao Anling:

"Ben Shuai plans to negotiate with Wei Guo with the three counties of Qiujun, Yuanshan, and Dekang, what does Mr. Zhao think."

"But didn't the Hou Ye want to negotiate with the eldest grandson at the price of the three counties of Sangnan, Yuanshan, and Dekang, and now he will promise the two counties of Yuanshan and Dekang to Weiguo, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, and it will inevitably be shamed by the world."

Zhao Anling was worried, but Bai Liyan said:

"There is no shame in the conflict of interests, if there is a shame in the interests, what do you do with the land of the Sun country. It is a foregone conclusion that the tiger will swallow half of the counties in the western part of the country, and it is unrealistic to want to annex half of the land in the east, at least Zhiguo will never spit out the land that has been swallowed.

Therefore, if Xianguo ceded the three counties at this time, the defense of the country would have no excuse to start a war, and it would not be able to fight with our army, and it would definitely retreat in the face of difficulties. ”

"But Lei Ting, Shengyan still has more than 300,000 people entrenched in the north, the eldest grandson, the Jin kingdom are eyeing the tiger, once the eldest grandson collects the rebels, it will immediately press our army, Wei Guo will definitely not sit idly by and watch the land in his hands be taken away by the eldest grandson, it is better to take advantage of the time when our army is in trouble, suddenly send troops, so our army will fight on two fronts, the situation is extremely dangerous, why does Hou Ye think that Wei Guo is powerless to attack me?"

"Then Mr. Zhao, has you ever thought about what would happen if the two rebels of Shengyan and Thunder ran out of food and grass?"

"Now that the summer harvest has just passed, although the five counties of Suichang, Fangling, Qingtian, Sangnan and Shutian are short of farming, the grain and grass obtained from the summer harvest will not be a problem to support more than 300,000 rebels in two or three months, and it will be enough for the rebels to make peace with the eldest grandson in two or three months, and the grain and grass of the eldest grandson will arrive at the rebel camp at that time, and the grain shortage will be solved.

With grain and grass, the rebels will change their banners, and they will inevitably attack us, even if the defense of the country has not yet advanced eastward, it is also a duel between our army and the rebels and the Changsun army on the whole line, as short as one year, as long as three or two years, and it will be our army that will collapse first, not to mention that the defense of the country will come east within a year, and then attack me from the west, and there will be no big defeat and loss. ”

"But did Sir ever think that the rebels of Shengyan and Thunder would be subservient?"

"What does Master Hou mean?"

"Shengyan and Thunder are different from the Yin Heavenly King, he is arrogant and arrogant, with heavy troops, and he still occupies five or six counties at the moment, and most of the strong attacks of the Changsun Kingdom are still not their opponents, so Shengyan and Thunder are asking for peace, and the eldest grandson is begging for it, but he will never dare to let go of the two of them.

At the same time, the two of them will not willingly submit to the eldest grandson, so that the eldest grandson will not be able to control the two armies of Shengyan and Thunder, and the land of the five counties will nominally return to the eldest grandson, but in fact it is still under the control of the two.

Therefore, in order to restrain and control Shengyan and Thunder, the eldest grandson must use grain and grass as a resource to control the two of them, and then use his two soldiers and horses to consume with our army, so as to compete with the snipe and the clam for the benefit of the fisherman. ”

"After talking for a long time, I still can't avoid a vicious battle, so what's the use of saying it."

Zhou Kong said anxiously, and Jiang Jie, who was standing on the side, had already realized the door:

"The last general understands that at that time, the eldest grandson will inevitably transport grain by boat, and the two armies of Shengyan and Thunder will go up the river along both sides of the Sishui River to attack the two counties of Dekang and Ganfu, and all the food and drink will need to be received by the Changsun fleet, and the rebels will naturally not be able to disobey the order and stand on their own."

"Yes, you're smart."

Bai Liyan affirmed, and Zhao Anling hurriedly asked:

"The Changsun Water Army is quite powerful, and with the Thunder Water Army, only Huang Che is afraid that he will not be defeated."

"Therefore, after the supernatural power escaped into the Juxia Pass, Ben Shuai quickly sent people to urge Chen Qu, Chen Dian's father and son, and transferred all the naval warships, taking advantage of the convergence of the Changsun naval army and the rebels, our army should strike first, kill them by surprise, and burn the grain and grass.

At that time, if Changsun Guo wants to transfer grain, he can only take the land route, which is too late, and he can't wait for the grain to be transported to the rebels, and the rebels will run out of food again. At that time, 300,000 tigers and wolves who had no food and grass were scattered as birds and beasts, and finally formed a military disaster and robbed grain everywhere. This is called drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, eradicating the rebel tumor once and for all. ”

More than 300,000 people in the two divisions of Lei Ting and Shengyan are subject to grain, grass and territory, and they have no ability to attack the Xian army in the south alone, and at the same time they are worried that they will be pinned down by the Xian army in the south alone, and the eldest grandson takes the opportunity to seize the five counties of Suichang, Fangling, Qingtian, Shutian, and Sangnan, and falls into the belly and back of the enemy.

Therefore, after learning of the rebellion of the Yin Heavenly King, Lei Ting had no power to continue to go south, so he had to sit and wait for the summer harvest to seek two to three months of respite, and make peace with the eldest grandson in the five counties of Suichang, Fangling, Qingtian, Shutian, and Sangnan in exchange for grain and grass and strategic maneuver space.

In addition, Lei Ting and Shengyan still had a way, abandoning the five counties and counties and fleeing westward, but the amount of supplies needed for more than 300,000 people to eat, drink, and Lazar was huge, and there were many obstacles along the way, and under the demoralization and discouragement, most of them could not wait to reach the territory of the foolish faction, and 300,000 people had to be scattered.

After weighing the pros and cons, with the five counties of Suichang, Fangling, Qingtian, Shutian, and Sangnan as the capital, he entrusted the eldest grandson, holding heavy troops on the one hand, and obtaining grain and grass supplies on the other, and the eldest grandson nominally recovered the five counties, but in fact, the situation of the two warlords of Lei Ting and Shengyan was divided, which was the most beneficial to them.

Of course, the eldest grandson naturally knows that he will not easily promise all the conditions, so the negotiations between the two sides will not be very smooth, but the longer it drags on, it will not be good for Thunder and Shengyan, and at the same time, it will not be good for the eldest grandson.

The longer it drags on, the greater the loss of the national strength of the eldest grandson, the greater the fluctuation of political factors, and the shorter the validity period of the excuse. In addition, the eldest grandson country could not guarantee that Lei Ting and Shengyan would not secretly make peace with the Xian Kingdom.

Therefore, the final result can only be that the eldest grandson is anxious to go south, in order to encircle the two armies of Thunder and Shengyan, to compromise to the greatest extent, but it is necessary to control the grain and grass to control the two armies.

The two counties of Ganfu and Dekang are close to the Sishui River, and the two armies of Thunder and Shengyan occupy the two counties of Qingtian and Fangling in the lower reaches.

At the same time, the land transportation of grain and grass, increasing the supply of 300,000 people, the need for hundreds of thousands of people, mules and horses, and a short increase of 300,000 mouths, it is difficult to requisition at all, and the land route is easy to be controlled by the rebels, and the water transportation of grain shortens the cycle and increases the capacity, and at the same time, the navy is the eldest grandson's strength, and it is not easy to be controlled by the rebels.

In this regard, Zhao Anling is very worried:

"Our army attacked first, it is unreasonable to be reasonable, and without the permission of the king, the Hou Ye attacked the eldest grandson without authorization, which is a big crime."

Bai Liyan disagreed, and said firmly:

"The peace between the eldest grandson and the rebels must be done in secret, and our army can do it first in the name of counterinsurgency before the rebels change banners and when the grain and grass arrive, and his eldest grandson can do anything to me! At that time, the grain and grass were burned, the warships were gone, the rebels collapsed, and it was too late to quell the rebellion at that time, how could the Changsun Kingdom come to attack me again. ”

"You are so treacherous that you have done such shameless things!"

Zhou Kong sneered, Bai Liyan glanced at her, and sneered:

"Isn't it shameful to come out and mix rice, each with his own ability, the eldest grandson country is incompetent, but he wants my Xianguo to give him the land that he has won with the blood of his soldiers! Besides, Ben Shuai is to help Sun Guo quell the rebellion, and Changsun Guo should be grateful to Ben Shuai, isn't it! ”

"Hmph, shamelessness is shamelessness, and you still have a good word, it's really shameless."

Zhou Hollow was not convinced, and he couldn't get used to Bailiyan's style. In her opinion, Bailiyan is doing some shady deeds.

Zhao Anling had been silent, and seeing that his expression was solemn and silent, Bai Liyan asked:

"Mr. Zhao, what do you think of this plan?"

"This plan is good, but the king did not approve the land of the two counties to the eldest grandson before, and now the land of the three counties is given to the country, how can the king agree?"

"The king will agree."

Bai Liyan affirmed, and Zhao Anling asked:

"Why is Master Hou so sure?"

"The Jin State will never tolerate the annexation of the six or seven counties by the Xian State, and it will become bigger and lose control, so it is inevitable to use the ambition of the wolf son of the Xian State as an excuse to join forces with the eldest grandson to crusade against the Xian State.

Xianguo is now extremely empty in the country, and if the Jin army suddenly sends troops, it will inevitably perish. Therefore, at this time, the Jin army must have gathered troops on the east and west flanks, transferred the northern army of the Jin State in the territory of Changsun to Sangbei County, which borders Xianxi County, and at the same time transferred the western army of Jin Guozhen to Jiangdong East County, and raised troops from the east and west to attack us.

At that time, it will not take a month at all, and the Jin army will be able to kill Qiling, not to mention that the Jin army still has forty or fifty thousand people outside Guangxin City, and the troops can come to the city at any time. Relying only on the soldiers and horses of the capital city of Chenling is simply not enough to parry. What's more, after the Jin army invaded, Yongxing City must be taken first, how could the king bear such a huge loss. Under pressure, compromise is inevitable. ”

"Not to mention that this situation is sinister, it can be expected in the future, but what can I do if I can't break it?"

"As long as the army is defeated before the eldest grandson strikes, and the rebels are deprived of food and disintegrate, our army will be able to transfer Ye Xin and Mo Yunfeng back to Xianguo to deter the Jin army from attacking."

"I'm afraid it's too late, Shangguan is three thousand miles away from Jiangdong, and I have to walk for two months anyway. What if the Jin army does it before the eldest grandson? ”

"No!" Bai Liyan affirmed: "I have asked someone to borrow 50,000 war horses from Yuke, and I will be able to rush from the south to the territory of Changyin in two months at the latest, and then I will ride to Jiangdong, and I should be able to arrive in January." ”

"Is this too late?"

Zhou Kong asked, she was highly suspicious of Bailiyan's arrangement, and at this time, Zhao Anling made a careful calculation in his heart, which was more than enough, so he said:

"It should be in time. It is now the end of August, Sheng Yan and Lei Ting have not yet negotiated the conditions with the eldest grandson, they still have enough grain and grass for about three months, and the eldest grandson wants to add more than 300,000 new military supplies, which needs to be prepared and allocated separately, and it also takes time to prepare, in order to strive for more favorable conditions, the eldest grandson will inevitably exhaust the rebels' grain and grass, forcing the rebels to compromise and make concessions, so two months is more than enough, and even enough time is left for our army to prepare. ”

"What Mr. Zhao said is right, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the sharp increase of 300,000 mouths and millions of hungry people needs a large amount of money and food, and it is by no means an overnight thing. On the one hand, the Changsun Kingdom was preparing to receive the five counties, and on the other hand, he ran out of food and grass for the rebels. Only in this way can the rebels be subject to the control of the eldest grandson.

Therefore, our army still has enough time to redeploy, and at the same time, we can trap the supernatural power in Wanchuan County as much as possible, so that our army can free up its hands to clean up the eldest grandson.
