Sima Yan was quarreled by their arguing voices for a morning, just after the lunch break, and at this time, after their quarrel, his head began to hurt again.

"Don't even make any noise." Sima Yan shouted loudly, stretched out his right hand and rubbed his forehead, looked at Director Wang, and asked softly: "Uncle Guo and Xi Aiqing can't argue, I don't know what Lord Situ thinks." ”

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, can be called an important minister, in addition to Yu Liang and Xi Jian, only Wang Dao is left, Wang Dao is also Sima Yan's most respected person, at this time, Yu and Xi could not dispute, he had to ask Wang Dao.

When Director Wang heard this, he rubbed his shriveled hands and said: "Emperor Qi, in the opinion of Wei Chen, the strategy of the two adults is not sure of victory, the survival of the country, the matter is big, Wei Chen feels that this matter has to be discussed in the long run, and it must not be too hasty." ”

"Yes! What Lord Situ said is extremely true, the strategy of resisting the enemy is related to the survival of the country, and it must not be hasty. As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, a group of ministers followed him.

In fact, what Director Wang said was nonsense, just like not saying it, in the long run, he hadn't come up with a perfect strategy, which was completely perfunctory.

Of course, Director Wang didn't mean to perfunctory Sima Yan, after all, he was just a civilian official, and he didn't know much about military affairs, especially the combat power of soldiers on both sides of the enemy, so it was too difficult for him to think of a strategy to defend against the enemy.

Sima Yan listened to Director Wang's words, and was really angry, he reprimanded loudly: "Think about it in the long run, think about it in the long run, I'm afraid that when you Aiqing thinks of a perfect plan, the enemy army has already come to the city." ”

After speaking, he walked impatiently between the ministers, pacing back and forth, his heart was also very anxious, after all, he was the king of a country in the Great Jin Dynasty, and at such a critical juncture when the army was pressing, he urgently needed the courtiers to resolve the crisis in front of him.

But he is only seventeen years old, he is still too young, and he doesn't understand that a good emperor should be on top of the top without changing his face, and only the momentum of immovable mountains can make the courtiers unite around him more confidently.

Impatient feelings are contagious, and all the ministers saw that Sima Yan was anxious like ants on a hot pot, and they all cried out, and the hearts of the kings of a country were all in chaos, and their hearts were naturally in chaos.

"The emperor is still too young to hold his breath!" Seeing Sima Yan pacing impatiently, Director Wang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As the first important minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, although Wang Dao couldn't think of a perfect way to defend against the enemy, he was still very stable and did not have the slightest impatience.

He saw that the ministers had become impetuous, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of anxiety in his heart.

If the hearts of the emperor and the ministers are in chaos, then the people will lose their backbone, and this war will not have to be fought, and it will definitely be lost.

Also anxious about Director Wang is Han Qian, since he got Shi Hu's southward troop allocation, his heart has never relaxed.

Shi Hu went south this time, not only with a huge number of troops, but also with the generals who led the troops were all brave and good generals, especially the commander of the Middle Route Army, Tao Leopard, who was bold and careful, and was very difficult to deal with.

Back then, Han Qian relied on the clever tricks of General Zu Ti to defeat Peach Leopard many times, and this time Peach Leopard led an army of 100,000 to attack Huainan, which was indeed very tricky.

Ma Qiu, Zhixiong, and Kui An are also famous generals of Zhao State, and they have all followed Shi Hu for many years, and after many years of fighting in the north, they have developed a strong skill.

Han Qian understood that if he used the powerful naval army of the Great Jin Dynasty to defend the Yangtze River, he would definitely be able to block the enemy army from crossing the river, and the Jiangnan of the Great Jin Dynasty would be safe.

But in this way, the four counties of Huainan, Guangling, Lujiang, and Linhuai, which are located between the Jianghuai River, will all fall into the hands of the enemy, and Shi Hu did not send the navy to the south, which seems to indicate that its goal is to capture the four counties between the Jianghuai River, so as to strengthen its strength, and then train the navy on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and then step on the south of the Yangtze River in a few years.

Once the four counties between the Jianghuai and the Huai River are lost, the vitality of the Great Jin Dynasty will be greatly damaged, and the Yangtze River defense line will be directly exposed to the enemy's nose, so that it will completely lose the capital to compete with the Zhao State, let alone recover the lost territory.

Han Qian thought about it again and again, and the only way to win was to use part of the forces to drag most of the enemy army, and then concentrate the main force to annihilate the enemy army, which coincided with the strategy of Yu Liang and Xi Jian.

But at this time, seeing that Yu Liang and Xi Jian were unwilling to take on the task of blocking the enemy for their own interests, Han Qian knew that if Sima Yan forcibly gave the order, it would definitely cause discord between the monarch and the minister, which would not be conducive to unity.

You have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, Han Qian frowned and thought about it.

Sima Yan walked back and forth among the ministers for a while, and suddenly remembered the reminder of the little eunuch, maybe the generals who have been leading the troops all the year round will have a good way.

At this time, he happened to walk in front of Han Qian, he knew that Han Qian was a famous general of the Northern Expedition, and he was also the number one fierce general under Zu Ti back then.

"General Han Qian." Sima Yan shouted first.

"The end will be." Han Qian hurriedly responded.

"As the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the general has fought against Zhao for many years, and he doesn't know if he has a good strategy to defend against the enemy." Sima Yan asked straight to the point.

When Han Qian heard this, he thought for a while, and replied with his fists clenched: "Uncle Yu and Sikong Xi's strategy against the enemy is very good, but since the two adults have a dispute for a while, the general still has a plan. ”

"General Han might as well talk about it." Sima Yan hurriedly asked.

"Chop the wings first, then the heart." Han Qian spoke out loud about his strategy.

When Sima Yan heard this, he suddenly became interested, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, he was a military layman, although he didn't understand the specific meaning of the eight-character strategy, but he could deeply feel the domineering contained in it.

"I want to hear about it." Sima Yan asked eagerly.

Han Qian pointed to the huge military map in the hall, and said: "Your Majesty, please see, although Shi Hu's southward army is as high as 150,000, it is divided into four routes, and the 50,000 horses of the rear army Kui'an are mainly responsible for escorting grain and grass and responding to other armies, and will not directly attack our Great Jin." The remaining 100,000 troops of the three routes are 20,000 of the left army Zhixiong, 20,000 of the right army Maqiu, and 60,000 of the middle route army. Among them, the Peach Leopard of the Middle Route Army is the most powerful and has the largest number of troops, and is the main force of the enemy. Zhixiong and Maqiu have fewer troops and belong to the left and right wings of the enemy. The last general thought that he could order the main forces of the Jing and Yang Erzhou armies to attack Maqiu and Zhixiong respectively, transfer a partial division to reinforce Huainan, drag the Peach Leopard, and wait for our main force to break through the left and right flanks of the enemy, and then join forces to attack the Peach Leopard army on the road. ”

"Chop the wings first, then the heart. General Han deserves to be a famous general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and this plan is very clever and wonderful. Sima Yan praised Han Qian in public.

Yu Liang and Xi Jian were also very satisfied when they heard this, they could all concentrate their main forces to break the enemy, and after breaking the enemy, the credit was naturally indispensable.

But another question arises, since Peach Leopard's mid-lane army is the enemy's main force, it is bound to be difficult to resist, which partial division of the Great Jin Dynasty is capable of dragging Peach Leopard to the task?

Sima Yan and the ministers were naturally aware of this problem, and they all raised their eyes to look at Han Qian, as if they could not find a more suitable army except for Han Qian's Northern Expeditionary Army.

"Peach Leopard is a famous general of Zhao State, General Han thinks that there is any division in my Great Jin that can hold him back." Yu Liang opened his mouth tentatively.

He wanted Han Qian to take the initiative to ask Ying to take over this drudgery, if he directly asked Han Qian to drag the peach leopard, it would be too villainous, and he was suspected of pushing Han Qian into the fire pit.

Han Qian glanced at Yu Liang, looked at Sima Yan squarely, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the last general will ask Ying, lead the headquarters of 30,000 soldiers and horses to drag the peach leopard, and win time for the main forces of Jing and Yang to cut off the enemy's wings, please ask the emperor for permission." ”

As he spoke, he knelt down in front of Sima Yan.

"General Han, it's really a high wind and bright festival, and he took the initiative to jump into the fire pit."

"Yes! 30,000 soldiers against the 60,000 elite army of Peach Leopard must have more defeats than victories. ”

"Someone must make sacrifices in a war, even if all 30,000 soldiers are killed, but it can buy time for the main force of my Great Jin to annihilate the enemy, although the defeat is still glorious."

"Jing and Yangzhou, in addition to the main force of 100,000 horses, General Han's 30,000 army is the best at fighting, besides, Taobao was once a defeated general under General Han."

The ministers of civil and military affairs above the main hall immediately talked about it.

Sima Yan saw that his respected uncle and Lord Sikong, who had always respected him, were arguing endlessly for their own interests.

And Han Qian, who has always been relatively neglected, stepped forward to take over the burden that others were unwilling to bear at the critical moment of the country's survival, and he felt a deep feeling in his heart for a while.

He hurriedly bent his knees to help Han Qian, and said sincerely: "There is General Han out of the horse, I will let go of a hundred hearts, and the general will hurry up." ”

"Thank you, the emperor will definitely do his best to live up to the emperor's trust." Han Qian got up and hurriedly clenched his fists in thanks.

Sima Yan nodded with satisfaction, looked at the ministers, and said with a straight face: "The military funds and grain and grass stored in the capital will be given priority to General Han's department, and if General Han has any difficulties, you Aiqing must fully assist and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Wechen obeys." The ministers clasped their fists and responded in unison.

Sima Yan looked at the withered yellow leaves outside the main hall and said softly: "The autumn harvest is about to begin, and the army of Zhao will definitely go south within a month, so go back and prepare!" Scattered Dynasty. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and walked towards the apse.

"Congratulations to the emperor." The ministers bowed down and clenched their fists and watched Sima Yan leave the hall.

After Sima Yan left, all the ministers came to Han Qian's praise for a while, Han Qian hugged his fists and greeted him for a while, then left the palace in a hurry and returned to the Northern Expeditionary Army camp with a hundred personal soldiers.

This time, the enemy he had to face was the Peach Leopard Legion, which was very strong in strength and combat power, and if he prepared more before the battle, he would lose less in wartime, and Han Qian did not dare to slack off.
