Lin Yi said meaningfully: "If the territory of Zhenxiong is extended to the east, directly to the vicinity of Wuyang Mountain, so as to build a long Xiongguan, not only can control the passage of Shu to the south, but also can greatly increase the population and expand the territory of the Han Dynasty, there will be no worries when facing Shu." ”

"In the same way, we in Yunnan will also benefit a lot. Xiaguan has long seen Xingyi County, the southernmost county of the Qiqi Kingdom, which is a choke point of great strategic value, and if it can be owned by us, it is equivalent to expanding an east-west trade route. ”

"From now on, the goods and materials in and out of Yunnan will inevitably be smoother, and from this to the capital Xingwangfu, the distance will be reduced by at least more than 200 miles, and the connection with the imperial court and various places will be closer, why don't we do it?"

Wu Xun nodded frequently and said, "What Master Lin said is reasonable!" This Wuyang Mountain has always been a piece of my heart, if it can be included in the jurisdiction of Zhenxiong, and then when we have to face the Shu Kingdom, our Zhenxiong will have a lot of confidence. And Yunnan to get Xingyi County, it is indeed of great significance, and the benefits are self-evident. It's just that Wuyang Mountain is the inherent land of nine caves and eighteen villages for hundreds of years, how can they be willing to part with love? ”

"I'm afraid Uwe himself won't be able to be the master! And the so-called Xingyi County is still under the rule of the Qiqi Kingdom, and it is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, and it is very difficult to get these two places! ”

Lin Yi smiled, picked up the wine glass and toasted Wu Xun with a glass of wine, then put down the wine glass and said, "It's not difficult to get these two places, it depends on how Uwe chooses." But the lower officials felt that there was such a big temptation in front of them, and they would not allow Uwe not to make concessions, otherwise, they would have to live forever in the shadow of the Qiqi country, which was unwilling to accept by the ambitious Uwe. ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "What is the second benefit?" ”

Lin Yi hurriedly nodded and said, "Actually, the second major benefit is our financial income. In the past, in order to preserve the benefits of the property, the king of the Qi Dynasty Puli strictly forbade the tribes to trade with foreign parties, and we could not obtain their unique rare minerals, mountain treasures, medicinal materials, leather goods and other things, and the silk, cloth, Chinese patent medicine, paper, ironware, tea, wine, grain and other materials we produced could not enter their market, and we lost a considerable amount of income virtually. ”

"And it is said that Uwe himself is very enlightened and has always had quite frequent trade contacts with Shu, if he has possession of this land, how can he refuse to trade with us?"

While everyone nodded yes, Lin Yi continued: "Li Dashuai once said that our China will eventually move towards the goal of Datong, not only we Hanmin are a part of China, but as long as all the tribes in China will be an important part of Greater China." ”

"Nowadays, our neighbors are isolated, arrogant and arrogant, and do not interact with other parties, resulting in low intelligence and ignorance of the people. If we can spread cultural wisdom to them and guide them to yearn for the style of the Han and Tang dynasties, then civilization will inevitably rise, ignorance will no longer flourish, and chaos will gradually disappear. That's what I call the third benefit. ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "What Master Lin said is indeed a lot of benefits, and even I yearn for it." However, the victory or defeat is unpredictable. If there is any mistake and the lives of the soldiers are buried in vain, I am afraid that I will see the harm instead of the benefit! ”

Lin Yi saw that Li Yi was still hesitant, and said in a loud voice: "The two marshals don't need to worry, please listen to the explanation, I'm afraid you won't be so worried." I know that the people who are worried about the marshal are just that the mountains and rivers of the country are treacherous and not easy to attack. ”

"But as far as I know, there are only sixteen cities in the country at present, and the cities are not high and the rivers are not wide, which is almost equivalent to no danger to defend. And except for their own Sanmiao people, the other tribes are all detached, and no one is willing to sacrifice themselves for Puli, the king of Qiqi. ”

"Nowadays, we Yunnan have sufficient materials, abundant financial resources, and strong soldiers and horses, as long as we take every step of the way, steady and steady, along the way to buy and instigate various tribes to rebel against the water, only a dozen cities, can not stop the pace of our coalition army."

"In addition, our siege weapons in Yunnan have been completed, such as thunderbolts, earth-shaking thunder and other firearms, which are unheard of by the Qiqi people, and their use in siege will definitely make their souls scattered. And siege weapons such as rushing cars, stone throwers, bed crossbows, etc., will make them even more frightened. Even our newly developed melee weapons such as folding crossbows, emergency crossbows, and repeating crossbows also have a considerable advantage over them. ”

"I think that even if we can avoid this war, I am afraid that we will still have to face it painfully in the future, and there is no way to avoid the casualties of war. Now this opportunity happens to be a good opportunity, it is the best time to test the effectiveness of weapons and train elite soldiers, if we still cannot win, it can only show that we are incompetent. ”

Jian Zheng shook his head and said, "No matter how good the weapon is, it may not be able to be used in this unfavorable terrain." It is surrounded by mountains, and there is hardly a flat place, and large siege equipment such as rushing carts, stone throwers, bed crossbows, etc., are not used at all. Moreover, it was also very difficult for the army to march and transport grain and grass, which was not conducive to the formation of large troops. Therefore, although we have enough soldiers and soldiers to use their lives, we can't use it like a mud cow entering the sea, and it is very likely to lead to defeat! ”

Li Yi and everyone also felt the same way when they heard this, and they also thought deeply with each other.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi smiled lightly and said, "Your lords' concerns are reasonable, but they can't be used as a reason to be timid. I've been studying the local topographic map for the past two days, and although it's a little rough, we can still see it. The so-called main garrisons of the Qiqi Kingdom, such as its capital Zhenningcheng and other places, are all endless Pingchuan, once the army is under the city, it can be said that it is easy to capture him. ”

"And the most worrying thing is the cottage villages that pass along the way, although the mountain people here are small in stature and not strong enough, but they have an unusually strong temperament, and they will not succumb to foreign force even if they are burned with jade. Therefore, we should try our best to take a detour, it is best not to provoke them, and if we can't appease them, we can only concentrate our forces to kill them. ”

"In addition, our Yunnan has gone through the test of three wars, and the soldiers have been quite rich in combat experience, and they will not fall behind in the face of the powerful Dayi Ningguo, not to mention the people who have not fought all year round?"

"And the most advantageous thing is that our Yunnan Jiangwutang has completed two batches of grassroots officers in a row, with nearly 100 people. All of them have accepted the most advanced operational ideas, their tactical literacy is quite excellent, and their personal abilities are also very outstanding. ”

"Combined with the influence of the previous wars, they are now the leaders in the army, and with them as the backbone, the combat effectiveness of our army will inevitably rise, and small-scale operations should not be a problem."
