Chapter 420: Xiongguan, Fortress

Think about today's Yangping Pass, under their own patchwork, nearly 70,000 men and horses have gathered, including 30,000 Hun soldiers, in Meng Li's eyes, in the city defense war, these 30,000 Hun soldiers are not even as good as the 30,000 young men of the Han army, because their good point is really not boiling oil, raising shields, throwing wood, and building stones, after all, riding horses is what they are good at.

But last time, he repelled the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, which has made the Great Qin Empire vigilant, if they come again, it will not be a mere 100,000, and it is even possible to raise a million soldiers as they expected, while capturing Yangping Pass by the way, they will break into the hinterland of the Han Kingdom in one fell swoop, and divide the territory of the former Qin and the Han Kingdom that they have just occupied into half.

Therefore, Yangping Pass must be defended, and there must be countermeasures on the grassland, as for the Great Zhou Dynasty, which seems to value peace and has been entrenched in Sili for hundreds of years, it also needs to be guarded against in the future.

In these aspects, soldiers and horses are needed, so the matter of conscription and expansion of the army has to be put on the table as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

Because he learned that the silence in the silent palaces where the future enemy was strong and silent was finally broken, Meng Li looked up and saw that it was his chief strategist who had always shown a calm and light face, and the world was in my hands, Guo Jia's speech, and Guo Jia's speech also attracted everyone's attention to him.

"Your Majesty, in fact, our attention is only one point at the moment, and that is Yangping Pass. So don't take all the dangers too seriously~! ”

Guo Jia's sentence came out, and everyone was stunned. How can there be only a little? You must know that the eager Mengyuan Empire over there is eager to unify the grassland and the Great Zhou Dynasty with an unclear attitude are the most important things for the Han Kingdom to pay attention to at present, and that is where a major war will break out if you are not careful. Even, that's where no matter how careful you are, a big war will inevitably break out.

"Fengxiao, not to mention the Mengyuan Empire on the grassland, which our army can temporarily release, let's just say that the Great Zhou Dynasty with an unclear attitude, they are likely to dare not attack Mengyuan in the north, dare not fight the Tang Dynasty in the east, and dare not touch the Great Shang in the south, first gather troops and horses in Chang'an and attack our Han. After all, if I were the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would seem like a good choice to take down the Han Dynasty, which has always been relatively weak, and to lay a stable rear~! ”

As soon as Xu Shu and Guo Jia's words fell, he shook his head and expressed different opinions, and as soon as his opinion was published, it caused the nods and echoes of all the civil officials present, after all, Si Li's place is said to be rich. That's really the richest in the world. However, it is very embarrassing that they only occupy a large state, and their strength is really not comparable to Mengyuan in the north and Datang in the east. As for the big merchants in Jingzhou in the north, it is true that they can give it a try, but considering the situation when the other two big empires, the Ming and the Great Qin, already regard Jingzhou as their own dish. Even if you take Jingzhou, you can't hold it. It is better to take Liangzhou in the west and block Yangping Pass. Yumen Fortress, this is the possibility of dominating the world.

Otherwise, no matter where the Great Zhou Dynasty attacked, they would all have the fate of being wiped out early, so from the perspective of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it seems that attacking Han in the west is the only possibility of hegemony.

"Yes, Fengxiao, the old man thinks that what Yuan Zhi said is not unreasonable."

After waiting for Xu Shu to finish speaking, Xie An expressed his support for Xu Shu's opinion, but he didn't say this sentence to death in one breath, after all, Guo Jia's talent he knows, His Majesty once said that he has no last resort, in his careful analysis of Guo Jia's past plans one by one, but it is to cut into it, his whimsical ideas, antelope horn strategy, so that people have to obey.

"Hmm, Fengxiao, tell me your opinion~!"

Seeing that everyone was either muttering, or cooperating with Xu Shu and Xie An, Meng Li looked at Guo Jia with quite trust, just thinking about Guo Jiana's divine prophecy that Sun Ce once said that Sun Ce would not be able to cross the river no matter how many soldiers and horses he had, and that he would die at the hands of assassins, made Meng Li trust his prediction very much; Besides, doesn't he still have so many powerful skills, and his 99-point intelligence also shows that he is unparalleled.

"Hehe, you are right to think so, after all, it seems that if the Great Zhou Dynasty wants to fight in this world, then taking my Han from the west is the first step......"

Although Guo Jia was frivolous, he was not stunned, and he knew that he could not directly refute the adults present, otherwise even if he had His Majesty's trust but did not have the cooperation of his colleagues, then there would still be disadvantages in the use of his strategy, so at the beginning, it was a small compliment to several adults.

"If you are filial piety, you don't need to be polite, quickly tell your opinion~!"

Seeing Guo Jia's inkblot pattern, Xu Shu stopped doing it first, what do you want to say, you have to come to this set of crepe, don't I Xu Yuanzhi know what kind of virtue you Guo Fengxiao is~!

That's definitely a person who buckles his feet and continues to eat, and it's quite fragrant, and he pretends to be a wolf with a big tail here for me~!

"Hehe, don't worry, Yuanzhi, and listen to Jia slowly~!" Guo Jia, who is smiling, has no embarrassment at all, his thick skin is to eat all over the world, you can't be unconvinced~!

"Although it seems that the Great Zhou Dynasty is the only way to attack our Great Han, you still have to think that if you attack the Great Han, it will really be a benevolent move if it is not successful. Everyone, please take a look at ,......"

Guo Jia, who slowly paced to the front of the map, stretched out his hand and pointed to the map of Liangzhou in the upper left corner and said: "Liangzhou, our Han has taken it all, don't you think that we are really easy to attack~"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, the people present looked at the map and thought deeply, they knew that Guo Jia would never be untargeted, so what did it mean to attack easily? What does Guo Jia want to express?

"Location~!"

After Xie An looked at the map for a while, a word suddenly popped out of his mouth, and then Xu Shu also suddenly realized that some of the ministers below woke up like a dream, and some were still confused~

And at this moment, Meng Li also understood, why did this battle go smoothly, you know, the most dangerous thing in this battle is only the battle with the skeleton army some time ago, during which there was no strong attack on the battle, it is really incredible, take the original Xiongnu as an example, to capture the Han, first of all, we must break through the majestic Yumen Fortress, followed by the Yanmen Fortress, and then the fertile land of the Han Dynasty, to break through these two fortresses, without the accumulation of 200,000 or 300,000 corpses and horse corpses, how can it be?

As for the Han army, it only lost tens of thousands of people along the way, which is too little~

This is the harm of not having Xiongguan and fortress~! (To be continued......)
