Chapter 1167: Two Paths

"At the same time, 200,000 troops under the command of King Zhao were deployed in Nanyang, Jiangxia, Jiangling, Linxiang, Luoyang and other places."

"In particular, Nanyang is personally commanded by Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, and Zhang Liao, the general under his command, is in Luoyang, and he has the urge to attack Hangu Pass with an army of 50,000 at all times."

……

From Lin Feng's words, Qin Gong Yingfei constantly painted a picture, in which the defense of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, can be said to be just right.

This kind of defense is obviously from the hands of masters, and he is brave in battle, and Zhao Wang Lu Bu is the first in the world, but such a strategic layout is definitely not from him.

In fact, there is no need to think about it at all, Qin Gong Yingfei knows in his heart that in the entire Zhao Kingdom, only the poisoner Jia Xu can do it.

……

"Use the troops of Jiangxia to defend against Chu Gong Yuanshu, use the army of Linxiang and other places to defend against Wu and Yue, Nanyang, Jiangling to defend against the Qin army, and Luoyang to defend against Qin Wei."

"It is worthy of the layout of the poisonous people of the chaotic country, such a layout has used the army of Zhao to the extreme, and Jingzhou has completely become a steel barrier."

……

Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes lingered on everyone, and he knew in his heart that even if the poisoner Jia Xu built Zhao Guo like an iron bucket, this time, it was imperative for Qin Guo to attack Zhao.

The time and place are favorable, and even the army of the Qin State is forcing Qin Gong Yingfei to go on the expedition, so he can't refuse this battle, or he can't refuse at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the latest news brought by the Black Ice Terrace, what do you think about the matter of killing Zhao?"

……

As soon as Qin Gong Yingfei's words came out, the entire Weiyang Palace immediately quieted down, and this means that the Qin State will restart the war.

This decision, without thinking clearly, no one dares to speak easily. Today, we have reached a critical moment where strength is no longer the key to winning or losing.

At this time, the weak may also turn into a dragon and soar into the sky, or the strong may fall into Pingyang and be bullied by dogs, completely becoming an insignificant wave in the turbulent times of the late Han Dynasty.

Because of this, the entire Qin court was collectively silent, even if it was Tai Lieutenant Xu Shu, military advisor Guo Jia, and Zuo Prime Minister Jiang Wan had no interface.

……

"Your Majesty, starting a war will definitely cause misery, and the Qin State has finally recuperated for a while, and the minister thinks that the war should not be restarted."

The first person to speak was not the military advisor Guo Jia, nor the lieutenant Xu Shu, but the counselor Cai Yong, but he obviously did not have an idea, but opposed to attacking Zhao.

Facing the advice doctor Cai Yong to speak, the entire Weiyang Palace was as quiet as a ghost for a while, and because of the taboo on Cai Yong's identity, no one opened his mouth to refute it for a while.

Therefore, in the entire Weiyang Palace, the civil and military officials all looked at their mouths, noses, noses, and hearts, and kept their mouths shut.

……

Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Cai Yong, who was upright, and he had a trace of regret in his heart, he shouldn't have called Cai Yong, the counselor, at all.

This old man could not be reprimanded, and he could not be obedient. After all, his starting point is also for the Qin State and for the hegemony of Qin Gong Yingfei.

Among the ministers, Taiwei Xu Shu was his disciple, and he didn't dare to refute it at all, and as for the military advisor Guo Jia and others, it was even more difficult to speak.

For various reasons, it actually reached the point where Qin Gong Yingfei personally went into battle shirtless.

"Doctor!"

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Qin Gong Yingfei's mouth, and he had no choice but to speak in person.

"The major events in the world must be united for a long time, and now that the northern alien races are becoming stronger and stronger, the Central Plains and Kyushu must not be divided all the time."

"The unification of the world is the trend of the times, as the so-called troubled times use heavy codes, when the military force stops, the troubled times can only end by the war, this is a cruel game of big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimp."

"The Qin State has entered the game, so we must work hard to grow and become the only victor in the Central Plains, only in this way can Lone be qualified to protect the world."

Speaking of this, Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes flashed with a solemnity, and his sharp gaze swept over everyone, word by word, and said.

"Gu not only shoulders the life and death of the people of Qin, but also shoulders the safety of your life, so war cannot be avoided, and this time it is imperative to attack Zhao."

Qin Gong Yingfei's words were categorical, and there was no room for negotiation at all, once again making his determination clear to everyone in Weiyang Palace.

"Cutting down Zhao is a major matter, and it is related to the fate of the entire Qin State, so we must not be careless, and everything needs to be taken seriously."

"No."

Nodding his head in agreement, the atmosphere in Weiyang Palace quieted down again, and after a long time, the military advisor Guo Jia said.

"Your Majesty, there are two ways to cut Zhao, one is to send a letter to Guguan to conquer Luoyang in one fell swoop, and get the land of Sizhou, and the other is to go south to Xiangyang and go straight to Huanglong, I don't know which one you think is more suitable?"

Glancing at the military advisor Guo Jia, Qin Gong Yingfei smiled slightly and said, "Military advisor, what is the difference between these two paths?"

Hearing this, a flash of struggle flashed in the eyes of the military advisor Guo Jia, and after half a sound, the struggle in his eyes disappeared, he looked at Qin Gong Yingfei and said.

"On the first road, as long as our army conquers Luoyang, defeats Zhang Liao, and captures Hanoi County and Henan, it means that our country will annex the five prefectures of Han, Liang, Merge, Yi, and Si."

"In this way, once a large-scale war breaks out between Han and Wei, our army will be able to better intervene, of course, this also means that our country will be fully bordered by Han and Wei."

"Although this can break the arm of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, it will also bring a great crisis to our country, after all, the national strength of Han and Wei is strong, far from being comparable to Zhang Liao."

Facing Qin Gong Yingfei's gaze, Guo Jia couldn't see his thoughts, paused and continued.

"If you choose the second path, it means that a full-scale war between Qin and Zhao will break out, and there will be no room for turnaround, which will inevitably arouse the Zhao army's heart to fight to the death."

……

Although the military advisor Guo Jia let Qin Gong Yingfei choose, from the other party's words, Yingfei easily smelled the bias in his tone.

Obviously, the military advisor Guo Jia was biased towards the first one, and the troops sent a letter to Guguan to attack Luoyang and completely seize the entire territory of Sizhou, because doing so was equivalent to approaching layer by layer.

In the world of annexation, encroachment is far more meaningful than whale swallowing.

The thought flickered in his heart, Qin Gong Yingfei looked at the ministers present, and said: "What the military advisor just said, you have also heard it, I don't know if you have a choice in your heart?"

……

"Your Excellency, the minister thought that he would send a letter to Guguan as a soldier, conquer Luoyang, and completely occupy the entire territory of Sizhou."

Right Prime Minister Chen Gong's eyes flashed with solemnity, looked at Qin Gong Yingfei, and said: "Now there are too many enemies in our country, not only about the six eastern countries, but also about the big curtain Xianbei."

"The minister thought that it should be prudent to send troops, so he was elected as the first way, and the army sent a letter to Guguan to attack Luoyang, completely cutting off the arm of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao."

"Doing so can not only weaken the strength of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, but also make my country invincible."
