Qin Tang's envoy was just a small episode, and Ouyang Shuo quickly cleaned up his emotions.

"There are only two ways in front of you, either to teleport the army to Luofeng City and assist the Great Jin to defend against the enemy; Either directly start a war against the Great Zhou and open up the passage with the Central Plains Province. How to choose, please tell me. ”

Jia Xu came out and said: "Weichen does not agree with the reinforcement of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

"Reason."

"Grain and grass." Jia Xu pointed to the crux of the problem, "The Great Jin Dynasty only has one province, and Hedong Province is not a large grain-producing province, so the grain and grass reserves are limited. In the case of supporting the logistics of the Leopard Tao Army, it is also necessary to support the Great Jin's own Flame Army and Praetorian Guard, and the grain and grass load is basically close to the limit. ”

"If you want to repel the Great Zhou army, it is conservatively estimated that the imperial court will need to reinforce at least 500,000 troops. If the war is unfavorable and protracted, the consequences will be unimaginable once the food crisis breaks out. ”

"If I were the Great Zhou, I would definitely adopt delaying tactics and take advantage of their grain and grass advantages to start a long-term confrontation with our army, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Another point is that at the moment, the whole wilderness is pouring rain, and there is no intention of stopping, and the first crop of rice and wheat has plummeted, which is already a foreseeable fact."

"Based on the above points, Wechen does not agree with the reinforcement of the Great Jin."

Ouyang Shuo was silent.

He never imagined that in the six-year food crisis in Gaia, the first to be recruited was the most well-prepared Great Xia. There was a huge amount of grain in the Great Xia, but it could not be transported to the battlefield.

In between, they were all enemies of Great Xia.

"In that case, it's only a strong attack." Ouyang Shuo admonished, "South, or north?" ”

Assault, also called besieging Wei to save Zhao.

Jia Xu replied: "Tactically speaking, the north and the south have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you attack from the north, once you take the Qing Dynasty, you can directly threaten Handan, the capital of the Great Zhou, forcing the Great Zhou to withdraw its troops. ”

"If you attack from the south, you will have to face the alliance of the Great Song and the Ming Dynasty. The advantage is that if you attack from the south, whether it is army scheduling or food and grass support, it is very smooth; Moreover, once the southern defense line is broken through and the Central Plains Province is attacked, it can not only converge with the Leopard Tao army, but also establish a grain and grass transportation route directly to the Great Jin. ”

To put it simply, the northern tactic is single, which is the real strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, which can smoothly solve the siege of the Great Jin. The tactics of the south are complex and difficult to implement, but the rewards are also handsome.

Once the grain and grass transportation routes are opened, the Great Xia can take this opportunity to fight a full-scale war with the Great Zhou, or the Six Nations Alliance, and decide the new pattern of China in the first war.

It is not difficult to find from Jia Xu's words that he is more inclined to the south.

The question is, does Great Xia currently have the strength to solve both the Great Song and the Ming Dynasty at the same time? To solve the million forbidden army before the Great Jin Dynasty falls, the army mobilized by Great Xia cannot be less than one and a half million.

Great Xia, are you ready for this?

Ouyang Shuo didn't rush to conclusions, and looked at Zhang Liang, "Ovary, tell me your opinion." ”

In terms of strategic decision-making, Ouyang Shuo still trusts Zhang Liang more.

Zhang Liang didn't push back, he and Jia Xu were already in charge of consulting at different levels, and there was no competition problem, "Wechen is thinking, if Da Zhou can't win the Great Jin Dynasty this time, how can he fulfill his promise to the Song and Ming Dynasty?" ”

Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up, and he followed Zhang Liang's train of thought and said: "With Emperor Chen's character, eighty percent will be tricky. But with the strength of the Song and Ming dynasties, this Lai is not easy to play. ”

"The king is shengming!"

Zhang Liang complimented Ouyang Shuo, and then said: "The affairs of the south should be slow rather than urgent. Pushing the enemy into a hurry will only unite the six-nation alliance, which was not very stable, more closely. ”

"The affairs of the north should be urgent. Mongolia suddenly ended dormant, a Western Turkic khanate was afraid that it would not be able to satisfy Genghis Khan's appetite, and a major war could break out in Liaojin Province at any time. ”

"If we don't completely solve the hidden danger of the Qing Dynasty before Mongolia makes a move, once the two are united, the situation in northern Xinjiang will become extremely difficult, and it will become a hot potato for the imperial court."

Zhang Liang's words shocked the ministers present.

Only then did they realize that if Great Xia wanted to dominate China, they would not only face a large number of enemies, but also the strength to resist Great Xia.

In the face of the enemy, it can be said that every step is frightening, and there is no carelessness.

Originally, when Jia Xu analyzed the pros and cons of the north and the south, generals such as Bai Qi and Sun Bin were more inclined to the southern battlefield, and they had long been looking forward to a duel with Da Zhou.

Now that I think about it, it's not that simple.

"Another advantage of solving the Great Qing Dynasty is that it can take the Kyushu Ding in Kyoto; In addition, it is expected that Luoyang and Chengdu will have two Kyushu tripods, and the day of the nine tripods will not be far away. Zhang Liang added.

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, Sun Bin said: "What Zhang Ge Lao said is indeed reasonable, but there is a worry in the end. ”

"Speak!"

"How long can the Great Jin hold out in front of the Great Zhou Army without reinforcements? Once the war breaks out, can the Great Jin still guarantee the supply of grain and grass to the Leopard Tao Army? What should I do if the grain and grass are cut off and the battle of Luoyang is in a stalemate period? Leopard Taojun, what should I do? ”

As the No. 2 person in the Southeast Theater, Sun Bin must consider the interests of the theater.

Attacking Dahan is the task of the Southeast Theater, and once it is messed up, it will be a shame for the entire Southeast Theater, which Sun Bin does not want to see no matter what.

At present, Han Xin, the commander of the theater, is fighting on the front line, and Sun Bin must take responsibility.

"It's really a problem." Ouyang Shuo didn't ask for the opinion of any minister this time, and said directly: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins." When the battle situation has developed to this point, we must not be afraid of the head and tail, but must show the courage to win the world. Since the grain and grass are limited, the battle of Luoyang cannot be delayed, and we must find a way to end it as soon as possible. ”

"Wenhe, you think of a quick way for the Leopard Taojun to fight quickly." Ouyang Shuo named Jia Xu again.

Ouyang Shuo's on-the-spot performance is really a test of the strategist's improvisation level, without two brushes, he will be dumbfounded by Ouyang Shuo's questions in three or two clicks.

Fortunately, Jia Xu is a first-class strategist in the world.

As a strategist, his skills can not only be reflected in the court performance. Strategists and actors are very similar in one point, that is, "ten minutes on stage, ten years off stage".

How so?

Taking Jia Xu as an example, as the first strategist in the army, he may not personally participate in every military operation in Great Xia, but he will definitely follow the whole process, use the information from the intelligence agency, and do his homework in peacetime.

The purpose is to have an accurate grasp of the overall situation, and always deduce the battle situation and simulate countermeasures, so that they can either actively or passively put forward for the king to make decisions.

This is the duty of a counselor.

Instead of saying that it was played right in the court, it was played on the spot.

No matter how powerful a person is, he can't accurately put forward a strategy without understanding the situation on the front line, which is nonsense and cannot appear in reality.

is like Zhuge Liang in the romance, who seems to be in seclusion, but in fact has a clear view of the situation in the world, otherwise, how can he propose a highly constructive "Longzhong Pair".

Therefore, in the face of the king's question, Jia Xu was nervous at all, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said: "Luoyang street battle, if conventional tactics are adopted, it will definitely take a long time, and the grain and grass crisis will indeed break out at any time as proposed by General Sun Bin." ”

Sun Bin listened and glanced at Jia Xu gratefully.

"If you want to solve it quickly, you can only use unconventional tactics. Under the conditions of Luoyang City, assassination tactics can be adopted, and among Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Qing, if one person is killed, the Han army will be in chaos. ”

"Or burn down the Luoyang granary and collapse the morale of the Han army; or launch a massacre, sow fear, and let Luoyang mess with itself; Or poison, it is the season of heavy rain, and then the rain, it can also be achieved. ”

“……”

Jia Xu's tactics made the scalps of the ministers who listened to them numb.

A poisoner is a poisoner, and he can really think of any ruthless move, but if you think about it carefully, with the image of Great Xia in the Huaxia District, some tactics cannot be implemented.

For example, massacre and poisoning, Daxia will never do it.

As for burning the granary, with Wei Qingzhi's caution, he must strictly guard the granary, even if Shanhaiwei has arranged a lot of secret agents in Luoyang City, there is no possibility of success.

In other words, the probability of success is slim to none.

Ruled out, it seems that only assassination is possible, but it is also the most difficult tactic. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't talk about it, he lived in the palace and was heavily guarded, not to mention assassination, I was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to see him.

As the chief general of the Han army, Wei Qing has guards around him at any time, and the difficulty of assassination is not ordinary.

No matter how you think about it, there is no possibility of success.

The ministers were worried, but Ouyang Shuo was thoughtful, he thought of a partner, it was the super guild [Tingyu Tower] that had betrayed Great Xia once, and it was also the only guild that remained in the royal city.

Coincidentally, [Listening to the Rain Building] is stationed in Luoyang City.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo said: "The matter of Luoyang, King Rong Ben will arrange it later, and now we will discuss which troops should be sent to the north to attack the Qing Dynasty." ”

Although the Qing Dynasty only sent 200,000 forbidden troops to garrison the border of the Great Zhou, in order to truly threaten Handan City, the entire Qing Dynasty must be uprooted.

Otherwise, Kyoto City will be like a nail, nailed to the march of Great Xia, and it may cut off the grain and grass supply route of Great Xia at any time.

If you want to threaten Handan City, Kyoto City is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

Moreover, Ouyang Shuo is also about to take this opportunity to defeat the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop and lay a new pattern in northern Xinjiang.
