War is a conflict between two living forces, and it will not turn into a war if one side is absolutely tolerant of concessions.

Qin Gong Yingfei had scenes from the past in his mind, and he knew in his heart that once a war broke out, it would be impossible to avoid it.

This will not change just because someone is there.

He knew in his heart that war was a serious means to achieve its peculiar ends.

The battlefield is full of endless variables, and even if Han Xin, the immortal of the military family, is there in person, and it is impossible to fully understand it.

This is the diversity and complexity of warfare.

The greater the motive and the higher the goal of war, the greater the relationship between war and the survival of the whole country, the more tense the situation before the war, and the closer the war is to its abstract form.

All this is aimed at defeating the adversary, and because of this, the more the political purpose and the war goal converge, and when the two are exactly the same, the war is more purely military, and the political purpose is obscured.

On the contrary, the weaker the motive of war, the less tense the situation, the farther the direction of political formulation from the natural tendency of the elements of war, the farther away from the natural tendency of war to deviate from it, the greater the difference between the political aims and the objective of abstract war, and the more subordinate the war appears to be to politics.

This time, the dispatch of troops to destroy Zhao was decided by Qin Gong Yingfei out of his own interests and the changes in the political form of the Central Plains.

Qin Gong Yingfei is familiar with the theory of war, and he agrees with a sentence in the theory of war, that is, all wars can be regarded as political acts.

War is the reproduction of politics by another means.

……

"The ministers have seen the king's ......"

Just when Qin Gong Yingfei's thoughts flickered and the major princes in the world were in an uproar, Guo Jia, the military division of the Qin State, and Zhao Yun, the general, and others came to the study.

"Everyone, please be exempt."

"No."

Military advisors Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others sat down one after another, they were a little puzzled by Qin Gong Yingfei's summoning, but they could also guess a thing or two.

The news that Wu Gongsun Ce died in battle and that the victory and defeat of the Xiangyang battlefield had already spread far and wide, and in just a few days, it spread all over the world.

In addition to the fact that the specific data is not clear, the results of the Xiangyang battlefield have long ceased to be a secret.

They believed that Qin Gong Yingfei summoned them for this purpose.

……

Seeing the military advisor Guo Jia and the others sit down, Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes flashed with solemnity, looked at the people present, was silent for a moment, and said.

"You Aiqing must have heard the rumors, the Xiangyang battlefield has indeed come to an end, and two-thirds of the 150,000 troops have been killed."

"The 100,000 Zhao army led by Hou Cheng was annihilated, Wu Gongsun Ce was killed in battle, and Xiangyang City fell into the hands of our army."

……

"Boom!"

The news of the Xiangyang War had already been flying all over the sky, and they all got the news that the Zhao army was defeated and Wu Gongsun Ce died on the battlefield.

But he didn't expect that the Qin army would suffer such a huge loss, two-thirds, and a full 100,000 Qin troops were bloody on the battlefield, which was a big defeat that the Qin State had never had since its founding.

For a while, everyone's thoughts flickered in their hearts, and their thoughts were different.

"Your Majesty, the Xiangyang battlefield has come to an end, but in this way, it will definitely completely anger Zhao Wang Lu Bu, Zhao Wang Lu Bu has 200,000 Zhao troops in his hands, once he returns, Jingzhou will be flat."

The thought flickered in his heart, and the military advisor Guo Jia raised his head and looked at Qin Gong Yingfei, and said word by word.

"The variables of the Xiangyang battlefield, this is forcing our army to fight a decisive battle with Zhao King Lu Bu, if Zhao King Lu Bu is not left under Luoyang City, Jingzhou and Bashu will have accidents."

The military advisor Guo Jia knew in his heart that at this moment, except for Luoyang, Xiangyang and Bingzhou, there were no soldiers to defend in the rest of the country.

Once Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, goes south to Jingzhou, Bashu will definitely be exposed under the noses of Zhao Jun at that time. This was a fatal weakness for the Qin State.

……

The military advisor Guo Jia is worthy of being a unique strategist in the world, and from Qin Gong Yingfei's words, it is clear that the end of the Xiangyang battlefield will have an impact on the Luoyang battlefield.

"Hoo ......"

With a thought in his heart, Qin Gong Yingfei looked at the military advisor Guo Jia and said, "The military advisor means to start a war in Luoyang, completely defeat Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, and then annex Jingzhou?" ”

"Hmm."

Nodding, the military advisor Guo Jia, said: "Your Majesty, Wu Gongsun Ce died in battle, which means that the Wu State will be unstable, and the entire southern situation will be attracted by the Wu State, causing the pressure on Pang Tong to be reduced." ”

"At this time, the only person who hinders my country from annexing Jingzhou and completely annexing Zhao is Lu Bu, the king of Zhao!"

……

From beginning to end, Qin Gong Yingfei and military advisor Guo Jia did not consider the war in the state, because they had enough confidence in the Tai Lieutenant Xu Shu and the general Meng Peng.

Moreover, there are still 70,000 troops in the Baitu camp, plus the 100,000 troops led by Xu Shu and Tai Shici to the north, one-third of the army of the entire Qin State is in Bingzhou.

And the alliance army of Han and Wei is only 100,000, plus the Xianbei army that went south on the curtain, it is only 150,000.

Especially in the war of merging states, it is not required to win, but only the Taiwei Xu Shu needs to persist until the end of the war, which naturally reassures Qin Gong Yingfei a lot.

With 170,000 elite Qin troops, it is not too much of a problem to defend and annex the state, and Qin Gong Yingfei believes that Taiwei Xu Shu and Meng Peng will definitely not surprise him like Wei Liang and others.

He knows too much about his cheap brother, who is a first-class talent in both governing the country and using soldiers.

It can be said that during the entire period from the end of the Han Dynasty to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

……

"Hoo ......"

With a deep breath, Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes fell on the people in the study, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

He knew in his heart that the death of Wu Gongsun Ce in battle would inevitably lead to earth-shattering changes in the political pattern of the south, and he knew even more that a more difficult opponent would rise in the south.

Wu Guo has him, and he will definitely not mess up.

It's just that all this, even if he knows it, can't say it at this time, after all, having excellent insight is a manifestation of talent, but if he doesn't know the prophet, he will be doubted.

The thought flickered in his heart, Qin Gong Yingfei looked at the generals present, and said in a deep voice.

"Now Yique Pass and Taigu Pass are in the hands of our army, Wei Ran, you will lead an army of 30,000 and immediately rush to Yuyuan Pass to completely block the road of Zhao King Lu Bu to Jingzhou in the south."

"No."

Watching Wei Ran leave, the military advisor Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and he looked at Qin Gong Yingfei word by word, and said.

"Your Excellency, is this planning to force Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, to retreat to Wei?"

"Hmm."

With a slight bow, a touch of helplessness flashed across Qin Gong Yingfei's face, because he knew in his heart that even if he surrounded and annihilated Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, it would be impossible to take it down in one fell swoop.

"The purpose of this battle is not to destroy Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, but to destroy the Zhao State, as long as our army occupies Hanoi County, Henanyin and Jingzhou."

……

It's embarrassing, the third chapter dragged on until now, and I actually fell asleep on my stomach on the computer last night......
