Chapter 268: Where the Heart Wants

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, lit another candle and put it on the side of the map, and drew with his fingers: "Liu Sheng has a group of tiger and wolf divisions, all of whom are fierce and aggressive achievers, and their momentum is fierce. Xiao Yan smiled, his expression didn't look like a person with a deep body at all, "Yan Kingdom is based on the Tianshan Mountains in the north, Ili in the south, and Balkhash in the west. The Chu River and the Russ River flow through it. The so-called 'the sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low' refers to this thousands of miles of anointed land! King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty once drove to his place, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack......"

Xiao Yan's mouth was like a hanging river, gushing endlessly, his eyes flickering, and he seemed refreshed. Since the historical evolution and the relationship between the various tribes of the Yan Kingdom, the words are very clear. While listening to this, Qin Mengqi secretly admired it in his heart: "I don't believe him saying that he scolded people to death, what a good eloquence and good scheming!" Xue Bilong has repeatedly recommended Feiyang Gu as a general, no wonder the lord doesn't even care that he is a criminal minister, but only uses him! ”

Xiao Zhi sat with his chin in one hand and nodded while listening, and kept saying "um". After Xiao Yan finished talking about the general situation of Yan Kingdom, Fang said: "I think Liu Sheng is insidious and cunning, capricious, and he wants to be based on this, he is really a fierce enemy!" ”

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, and said softly: "The Lord is wise and has insight into thousands of miles, but he mistook this Liu Sheng!" ”

Qin Mengqi was taken aback, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yan, since he entered the study, he hadn't heard of any courtier daring to say to his face that Xiao Zhi had "mislooked" at someone. Xiao Zhi ignored it, leaned over, stared at Xiao Yan and said, "You say be fine!" He destroyed the three Khalkha tribes without authorization, but he repaired the table and called the ministers to pay tribute; said that he was inviting peace, and he secretly corresponded with the Later Han Dynasty; Collusion with the Later Han Dynasty is also like this, not only reconciled with the Later Han Dynasty, but also seems to be wary, isn't it capricious? ”

"Liu Sheng is by no means a capricious person." Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Zhen's gaze squarely and said categorically, "He used the strategy of the Warring States Period!" ”

"Together!" Xiao Yan smiled: "That is, a plan for long-distance friendship and close attack." He fought in the nearby Yan Kingdom and the Western Regions, and was extremely ferocious, but he gave a camel of gold and treasures to the princes who were far away in the south and north of the desert. He sent envoys to the state of Qi to pay tribute, and he was called a vassal, but he ate the three Khalkha tribes in one fell swoop and knocked out the western barrier of the king. He grovelled to serve the Hou Han in order to ask for artillery and equipment, once his wings were full and his minions were sharp, he would definitely go east to take Yan Kingdom first, and then he would have to turn against the king! ”

Xiao Zhi remembered what Ah Xiu said, Liu Sheng was in the Junggar gold mine and sent more than 50,000 taels to King Horqin, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and he was going to ask about it when he went back tonight. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Mengqi said with a smile: "Now that the Warring States have been gone for more than 2,000 years, how can the situation be very different compared to the rabble of the six countries back then?" ”

Xiao Yan's eyes were scorching, and he said, "This is where Liu Sheng's miscalculation lies. ”

Xiao Zhi nodded and said, "The rebellion of the 'Three Dynasties', I didn't have a personal campaign. Once I fight with Liu Sheng, I will personally unify the three armies and he will hunt! ”

"The slave thinks that the king is personally levying, and the most important thing is to supervise the grain." Xiao Yan said a little excitedly, patted the map with his hand and said, "There are eight rich cities and eight poor cities on the north and south roads of the Tianshan Mountains: from the west of Urumqi in the north and west of Aksu in the south, the soil and fertile springs are rich in sweet products, and this is the so-called 'rich eight cities'; from Urumqi to the east, the four cities have a cold terrain, many mountains and streams, few flat rivers, and the four cities from the south of Hami to the west are geothermal and narrow, and most of them are the Gobi Hanhai, which is called the 'poor eight cities'. If the Lord can ensure the food supply of our army, he will order Admiral Yi to cut off the road for Liu Shengxi to return to the rich eight cities.

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:

The enemy's food channel will be cut off, even if he doesn't fight, he will be hungry and Liu Sheng will be hungry! ”

Xiao Zhi listened and groaned: "Ah Yan, who do you think can be the main general?" How is Sima Wei? ”

Xiao Yan was silent for a long time, carefully chose the words and said: "Lord Sima is in the center, and he is the enemy in front of the army, and the ministers are not sure. ”

"And what about Bahai?"

"Nope." Xiao Yan said without hesitation, "Bahai has been dealing with the clan in Fengtian for many years, so it is not appropriate to abandon the long and short. ”

Xiao Zhi raised five or six generals in a row, but Xiao Yan felt that it was inappropriate, and sighed: "It's a pity that Cao Ze is old and has a stroke. After thinking about it for a long time, his eyes jumped, and he said, "Why doesn't the king use Feiyanggu?" The minion used to be in Qidu, and he had discussed the army with him many times a day, and he was really a good general, scheming, powerful, and good at public opinion - this person can do it! ”

Xiao Zhi heard that Xiao Yan and Xue Bilong had the same meaning, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I heard that he is a famous 'sleepy bug', I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Even the king knew the nickname Feiyang Gu, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile softly, and said: "Some people are shrewd and exposed, and some people are hidden deeply, so naturally it is difficult to escape the holy scriptures." However, the servants asked the king to pay attention to the fact that the most important thing is food, and the grain routes of our army must be unblocked, and the grain routes of the enemy army should be cut off in every possible way, and even if there is a small defeat in the military, it will not hinder the overall situation. ”

Qin Mengqi said: "Lord Yan, if you say food again, I don't understand, isn't the grain in the Central Plains not enough to compare with Liu Sheng?" Xiao Zhi also felt that Xiao Yan was too worried, and looked at Xiao Yan with an inquiring gaze.

Xiao Yan seemed to be a little unsure of what to say, and only said after a while: "Qin Xiang, the grain has to be transported from the southeast!" The road is so far, once something is not good, it will be a failure. I think about this matter the most, in addition to the special office of the Qin mission, the king must personally grasp it - the king, please look at the map, if there are guards and offices in Yan'an, Yulin, Yikezhao and other places, the chief of the health department will not be under the jurisdiction of the prefecture and county, nor will he ask about civil affairs, but only be ordered by the king to raise emergency food, how about it? ”

Xiao Zhi looked at the map with Xiao Yan's finger intently, listening and thinking, shifting the time, patting the case lightly, and saying, "Okay!" It's a last resort! ”

Xiao Yan's eyes dimmed, and he sighed as if he had exhausted his strength, and said dejectedly: "There is no law of impermanence, there is no way of war to be impermanent, and it is the same for the master to command the army. These superficial views said by the slave may not be correct, but since the king is personally recruited, he cannot but say that he is desperate, and he must act carefully. For example, when it comes to raising food in the Guard Hall, except for the king and the Qin minister, the rest of the people don't need to let them know. lest the ministers of the grain have luck and pass the buck to each other, but they have made a mistake. Alas! The minister really wants to go west with his master, and donate his surplus body to the territory, but when his luck is bad, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive until that day! Xiao Yan was already in tears when he said this, staring at the window paper that was blown by the wind, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Xiao Zhi didn't speak, just looked at Xiao Yan, who was leaning on the table and wilted, stood up and walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote, and said loudly: "Xie Lan come in!" ”

"The minions are here!" Xie Lan, who was covered in heavy snow, responded and said loudly: "What is the master's will?" ”
