Everyone changed color in shock and looked at each other.

Dou Ying was furious and shouted: "Please also ask the champion Hou to talk in detail, Mo Handan is a toddler, and the scholar is bluffing." ”

He was genuinely angry. Liang Xiao said it so seriously, it was no longer a joke, the words such as the late festival was not guaranteed, and what made Dou Ying even more unacceptable was that Liang Xiao said that his strategy might ruin the great cause of the Son of Heaven.

If he doesn't fight back, it will make his hard-earned comeback a joke. He is not Liang Xiao, he has a lot of time, and it doesn't matter if he retires for a while. He is close to the sixtieth birthday, time is running out, and every opportunity to shine must be seized.

Hearing Dou Ying's loud shout, almost everyone was startled, only Han Yan scratched her ears and cheeks with joy, and admired the Son of Heaven so much that she threw herself to the ground. He didn't expect that Dou Ying and Liang Xiao really broke up, and they left no room for it.

He secretly glanced at the Son of Heaven, but found that the Son of Heaven's face was calm, and he didn't see any excitement.

Facing the angry Dou Ying, Liang Xiao was also taken aback. I heard Liu Ling say a few times that Dou Ying is conceited, it seems that it is not a rumor, this old minister's temper is really old and spicy, and he will not restrain himself in front of the Son of Heaven.

"Please Wei Qihou don't be impatient, let me explain it in detail, and it's not too late to be angry again." Liang Xiao was neither humble nor arrogant, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I don't know if I don't argue, I have a difference of opinion with Wei Qihou, so naturally I want to argue clearly, so I ask you to be a witness to see if what I said is false." ”

The Son of Heaven bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Wei Qihou, please take a seat, since it is a discussion, it is inevitable that there will be such a disagreement, so there is no need to be so nervous." ”

Dou Ying also felt that she had lost her temper, so she hurriedly bowed down to apologize and forced herself to calm down. Sit down.

Liang Xiao talked eloquently. "Ladies and gentlemen, even if I haven't read much, I know that war is a very dangerous thing, and we should treat it with caution, and underestimating the enemy is the first taboo. Strategically, we can defy any adversary. Tactically, however, we must pay attention to every opponent, whether the opponent is strong or weak. ”

He waved his hand and signaled Dou Ying not to be in a hurry to refute.

"I'm a little bit good at archery, so I'll use archery as an analogy. I can say that I am not afraid of the heroes of the world and dare to accept anyone's challenge. It's courage, but it's also self-confidence. However, once the decision is made to shoot. When I get on the field, I can't be careless, even if the opponent is a kid who can just walk. Because children can also shoot, no matter how high I shoot, there is a possibility that I will not shoot, and if I don't take it seriously, I will probably lose. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"But. Wei Qihou, when you were formulating a strategy. Did you really see South Vietnam as an adversary? Have you studied the mountains and rivers of South Vietnam, and have you studied the customs and customs? Do you know how many soldiers there were in South Vietnam, what were their generals, what were their strengths and weaknesses? Do you know what are the characteristics of the climate in South Vietnam? If you've done that, tell us about it. ”

Dou Ying's old face flushed. Embarrassed.

Liang Xiao didn't give up, and asked further: "I dare to say, you neither asked the proton of Minyue, nor did you consult the business travelers in the south, at most you are flipping through the books at home." Then imagine it. ”

Dou Ying's face was red, he was told by Liang Xiao, he was just flipping through the book at home, and then guessing. Hearing Liang Xiao say this, he realized that there were actually some sources of information in Chang'an, and he could learn some about the situation in South Vietnam, but it was too late.

"If you don't even investigate these things, who dares to say that you know anything about South Vietnam?"

This time, not only Dou Ying, but everyone was a little hot. They didn't quite agree with Dou Ying's tactical arrangement, but they didn't oppose Dou Ying's strategy of going south, and they, like Dou Ying, didn't really understand what South Vietnam was like before agreeing.

They also made the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

After the first stick struck Dou Ying with a suffocation, Liang Xiao showed no mercy and criticized them one by one. In fact, there is no need to say more, everyone understands that what Liang Xiao said is right. Talking nonsense about an opponent who doesn't know much at all, the result can be imagined, the Qin army is in the front, and defeat is a high probability. Once it falls like the Qin army, even if it does not cause the Han Dynasty to collapse like the Qin Dynasty, the reputation of the Son of Heaven will definitely be ruined.

For a while, Dou Ying was ashamed of himself, and the Son of Heaven was also palpitating. If you really get to that point, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"That'...... What do you suggest? ”

"Your Majesty, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. If you want to use troops against South Vietnam, you must first understand South Vietnam. Liang Xiao bowed and saluted. As far as the minister knows, before using troops against the Xiongnu, His Majesty sent envoys deep into the Xiongnu many times, until the situation of the Xiongnu was clear, and then he was hit with one blow. This is a way to win a hundred battles, and it can be used against South Vietnam. ”

The Son of Heaven laughed. Liang Xiao's words made him very useful.

"Look, it's better for someone to send to South Vietnam?" The Son of Heaven said with a smile: "Why don't you take a trip?" ”

Liang Xiao showed a hint of embarrassment. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... I'm afraid that I can't take on this important task, and Your Majesty should choose another merit. ”

"Why?" The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows inadvertently. "It's very good that you went to the Western Regions, not only did you successfully complete the task and bring back so many Dawan horses, but you also subdued Princess Dawan......"

Liang Xiao was speechless.

The Son of Heaven laughed, and King Wuqiu Shou and others also laughed, and the originally tense atmosphere was relieved. Dou Ying also said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Liang Xiao is smart and strong, and he is a good candidate for an envoy. ”

Liang Xiao said in his heart, Dou Ying is really old and confused, and he can't even hear the words of the Son of Heaven. The first sentence is empty, and the latter sentence is the key. I'm going to South Vietnam, and then get the South Vietnamese lord to get started, can the Son of Heaven be satisfied?

"Your Majesty, South Vietnam is different from the Western Regions. The Zhao clan of Nanyue was originally from the Central Plains, they have always admired the culture of the Central Plains, and the ministers have too little study, if they are tested, it will not damage His Majesty's face. It's better to send a well-educated person. The minister thinks that Wei Qihou is good, and these few people here can pick out any one, and they are all more suitable than the minister. ”

The Son of Heaven smiled even more happily. Liang Xiao recommended Xu Le and others to go, and there were some reasons, and recommending Dou Ying was purely a spoof.

Dou Ying couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head again and again, and laughed and scolded Liang Xiao for messing around.

After laughing for a while, getting back to business, Liang Xiao made a few suggestions:

The first is to collect intelligence on South Vietnam. The envoy's field trip is one thing, but the envoy will definitely be monitored when he enters and leaves South Vietnam, so other methods must be arranged, such as sending a small envoy to infiltrate South Vietnam and map the mountains and rivers along the way. At this point, he recommended Ma Rong, who had successfully completed his mission last time.

The second is to arrange for people to develop warships. There is a lot of water in the south, and South Vietnam is close to the sea, so water war may not be avoidable. To deal with the Xiongnu, cavalry should be used, war horses are the top priority, and naval divisions should be paid attention to to dealing with South Vietnam, and warships are indispensable and should be prepared in advance.

The third is to strengthen training in water warfare. It is not enough to have a strong warship, well-trained soldiers are essential.

The Son of Heaven wrote them down one by one, and discussed with everyone to supplement and refine the points that Liang Xiao said, and arrange the tasks. In the end, it was decided to send Yan An as an envoy to South Vietnam in the name of mediation to understand the actual situation in South Vietnam. Let Dou Ying preside over the preparations for the warship and sailor, with Liang Xiao and Xu Le assisting.

Dou Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly received his order.

Liang Xiao frowned, showing a little displeasure. The Son of Heaven saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and when everyone bowed back, he left Liang Xiao alone. "Come with me."

"Yui!" Liang Xiao bowed in response.

The two walked slowly along the corridor of the main hall. The Son of Heaven didn't speak, and Liang Xiao didn't speak. After a long while, the Son of Heaven finally spoke.

"If there is no accident, the war in northern Xinjiang is over, and the main force of the Xiongnu royal court will be difficult to cross the Yin Mountain, and the counties of Yanmen and Youbeiping can be protected from harassment. But the main force of the Huns was not seriously damaged, and I estimate that they would attack from both east and west. ”

Liang Xiao listened quietly and didn't say a word.

"Back then, Meng Tian took Henan and Yinshan, but in fact, he did not complete the work. An army of 200,000 was stationed near the Great Wall for many years, consuming countless amounts of food every year. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who rose up, were both pawns who went to Yuyang. ”

Liang Xiao's eyebrows trembled slightly, he somewhat understood what the Son of Heaven meant. Taking South Vietnam may just be a pretense, at least not now, and attacking the Zuo Xian Wang Department in the Liaodong area may be the real goal.

"Do you know what I mean?"

"Your Majesty, is it true that you want to take Liaodong with a sailor?"

"Hmm." The Son of Heaven laughed silently. "Shan Yu was blocked north of Yinshan Mountain, and he couldn't catch him for the time being. The Right Xian King has been hit hard by you, and his strength has been greatly reduced, among the three Huns, the strongest strength is the Left Xian King Yi Zhixi. I heard that Yi Zhixie is a rare hero among the Huns, and if he succeeds to the throne, it will be unfavorable to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, I want to take advantage of Shan Yu's reign to get rid of Yi Zhiyi first. ”

The Son of Heaven said, clenched his fists, and shook it in front of Liang Xiao.

"Your Majesty is brilliant." Liang Xiao was convinced. This is the real scheming. The discussion was so enthusiastic and the arrangements were so thorough, everyone thought that he really wanted to fight South Vietnam, but who knew that it was just a false shot, and Yi Zhixiao was his real goal.

When Dahan Tie rode across the sea on a building boat, appeared in Liaodong, and detoured back behind Yi Zhixi, Yi Zhiyi was estimated to be directly confused, and he could only be captured.

"The key to the success of this plan lies in the sailors. If you want to confuse the Huns, taking South Vietnam is the best excuse. ”

"Your Majesty is very true."

"Do you think it's good, too?"

"It's not just good, it's ...... It's a stroke of genius. Your Majesty's train of thought is really ......" Liang Xiao smacked his lips, was convinced, and raised his thumb. "One word, awesome!"

"Awesome? What do you mean? The Son of Heaven blinked and beamed with joy. Although he didn't quite understand this meaning, looking at Liang Xiao's expression, it was probably not a bad word. can make Liang Xiao admire him so much, he has a great sense of accomplishment. "And, is that a word?"

"Uh......" Liang Xiao was embarrassed. When I was excited, I actually said all the foul words that I had forgotten for a long time.
