Chen Xinyu's words were already very shocking as soon as they were spoken, and Prime Minister Di Yan, General Zhou Yu, and Sun Jun, the master of the Secret Intelligence Hall, did not react for a while. Chen Xinyu then explained: "It's not that I don't want the army and the people to rest, but you have already seen the current situation, presumably Master Sun also knows the current situation, once the Qi army captures Qicheng, they can even directly enter Rayong County." Once Rayong County is breached. Then the Qi army could even directly attack the city. Although among them, because of the unfamiliar relationship of life, it may not be able to shake the old nest of the royal Chen family for a while. But in the long run, when the Qi army has established a foothold here and established a supply line of grain and grass, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to shake their position. In this way, we can only accept the fact that the Qi State has occupied some areas, everyone, do you really want to see this result?"

Chen Xinyu's words were very serious, and the three of them in front of him, Prime Minister Di Yan, General Zhou Yu, and Secret Agent Intelligence Hall Master Sun Jun couldn't help but lower their heads and ponder the joints in it. Sun Jun arched his hand and said: "Weichen knows a little bit about this matter, and I hope that Your Majesty will let Weichen explain it to the two adults in detail." ”

Chen Xinyu turned his back and stood with his hands in his hands, "Say it." ”

Sun Jun then said to Di Xi and Zhou Yu: "The two adults must have known that the Qi army and us originally had an alliance and agreed to jointly fight against the royal Chen family and the feudal state, but now the feudal army has been defeated by the Qi state, and the army strength of the Qi army has not been weakened much. Even, because they defeated the feudal state, the morale of the soldiers was high, plus they themselves were fully equipped, and the army was extremely combative. It was not unexpected to capture Xiao Pass, where only 5,000 soldiers of the Chen family of the royal family were stationed. Even now, what Your Majesty said, if the Qi State only occupies Xiao Pass, it will not have a great impact on us. But once they occupy the place of Qicheng, it is equivalent to saying that the Qi State has easily obtained a city around it and occupied a foothold that can be used for a long time. At this time, the internal strength of the imperial Chen family is insufficient, and the external feudal army is unable to help the imperial Chen family fight against the Qi country. Then the situation becomes extremely difficult for us. ”

The reason why Sun Jun said these things was mainly because he himself had not received the latest information, so he did not dare to say something rashly, for fear that it would not match the facts and have some kind of blow to his status. Of course, he was also slightly surprised when he heard about the information that Chen Xinyu had obtained now.

In front of him, the prime minister Di Xian and the general Zhou Yu both fell into silence, and the general Zhou Yu was greatly weakened because of his previous negligence on the Weiku Plain, which caused the internal strength of the country to be greatly weakened, and this defeat made him suddenly become silent. Chen Xinyu did not care about the previous suspicions, and after signing the armistice agreement, he still did not suspend Zhou Yu for interrogation, but let him continue to serve as a general. This kind of trust made Zhou Yu and even the entire soldiers and soldiers who left the country feel a great encouragement in their hearts.

Although Zhou Yu was usually silent, he knew that the main reason why Chen Xinyu invited them here now was to ask their opinions. But in fact, the real decision, I'm afraid Chen Xinyu has already made it.

"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that the ultimate goal of the Qi Kingdom is very clear, not just to work with us to destroy the royal Chen family. They also want us to send troops to help them jointly launch a counterattack against the feudal state, which shows that there is still room for negotiation between the two sides before then. However, Qicheng is the area with the most generous tax burden in the Chen family of the imperial family, and it has the largest population, and it has not been damaged for decades, so the private wealth must be very abundant. Then, when the Qi army marched into Qicheng, it was impossible for the imperial Chen family's army to let go of the situation in front of them, and they would inevitably and even inevitably send troops from Checheng south to help defend Qicheng. Therefore, regardless of whether we send troops or not, I am afraid that the Qi State and the Imperial Chen Family will first start a battle over the land issue, and at that time, it will be our opportunity, the army from the north will sweep south, directly attack Xicheng, and then march into the depths of the Imperial Chen Family, I think this plan is feasible. ”

Sun Jun took Zhou Yu's words and said: "What the general said is good, now our national strength may not be able to support the whole army again, in this case, it is better to wait for the internal strife between the Qi State and the imperial Chen family to the last moment, we only need to dispatch 20,000 troops in the north to easily occupy the military important Xicheng, and the result of occupying Xicheng is naturally self-evident, we can attribute all the surrounding counties to our departure from the country, and at the same time decide whether to continue to march according to the situation." If the Qi State is defeated by the imperial Chen family, then we will occupy Xicheng and defend it firmly, and if the Qi State defeats the Hu of the imperial Chen family, we will directly march into Luoshu County and directly attack the city with the Qi army. Completely destroy the royal Chen family. ”

Sun Jun and Zhou Yu are both Chen Xinyu's henchmen, they know Chen Xinyu's true intentions now, although they nominally want to discuss this matter with them, but in fact, Chen Xinyu must have made his own decision about this matter. They were very wise and did not choose to say anything opposite to Chen Xinyu.

Of course, the current Prime Minister Di Xian was very hesitant in his heart, on the one hand, he saw Chen Xinyu's determination and refusal to give up on this matter, which invisibly directly showed Chen Xinyu's attitude, and it was impossible for her to give up these interests. But Di Xian has his own worries, he is worried that the current national strength is insufficient, and it is still in a recovery stage, and the impact of the 50,000 troops on the Weiku Plain is too great for them, and I am afraid that it will be absolutely impossible for them to turn around and start a war with the royal Chen family for a while. Even if they reached an agreement here, they didn't know if the soldiers of the Qi State were willing to really help them start another battle with the royal Chen family.

As an old minister who has existed in the court for more than 20 years, Di Xian's heart is naturally like a mirror at this moment. He was closer to the lives of the people, and he also knew that the people were concerned about only two things, one was which side of the tax was low, and the other was which side could save their families. As long as these two points are achieved, it is actually a disguised grasp of the hearts of the people. On the other hand, once it loses the support of the most basic and most populous people, it may be a precursor to destruction.

Di Xian was very worried, worried that forcibly dispatching troops now would directly lead to **** within the country, after all, rashly sending troops at this time when stability was most needed, and still attacking the royal Chen family, who had almost wiped out their army before. What kind of consequences such an approach will lead to, this is something that Di Yan dare not imagine. Coupled with the armistice agreement signed between themselves and the imperial Chen family and the Fang Gang just now, once they send troops, it is equivalent to greatly weakening the prestige of Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde, is this result really more beneficial than disadvantageous?

Di Xian was helpless, and finally put forward his opinion, and sure enough, Chen Xinyu's gaze suddenly became sharp, but she did not show it on her face, but restrained it in time. "Then according to the Prime Minister's opinion, what should we do with the current situation?"

After thinking about it for a while, Di Xian can be regarded as having a belly case, so when he heard Chen Xinyu's question, Di Xian stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that now we have five different solutions to solve the current predicament, and there is no need to directly send troops to attack the royal Chen family. This has too much impact on us, and Lao Chen is worried that the situation will not be stable. ”

Chen Xinyu doesn't know much about Di Xian, just because he is an old minister from his father's time and reuses him, Chen Xinyu himself is actually more concerned about the new generation of young talents who are now starting to be fairly elected. But now, since Di Xian has proposed five different plans, this makes Chen Xinyu a little curious. "Let's talk about it, what kind of clever plan the prime minister has to solve the dilemma in front of him. I will forgive you all that you say now. ”

"Yes, the old minister obeys the order," Di Yan cleared his throat and said slowly, "We don't have many troops in the country now, and the preliminary estimate is that only the 20,000 troops of General Wang Yan that Your Majesty just said can be dispatched. Then, we actually only need 20,000 troops to directly occupy Xicheng and complete our strategic goal. Among them, there are three different paths.

"One is to make progress, that is, General Wang's troops marched into the Weiku Plain, using suspicious tactics to confuse the royal Chen family garrison on the Weiku Plain, and then using cavalry raids to occupy the Weiku Plain, and then, changing into the clothes and armor of the royal Chen family's army to divide the troops to fight, on the one hand, to persuade those neutral counties that had been thrown to the side of the royal Chen family, once they won their support, they immediately dispatched the troops of these counties, directly marched into the royal Chen family, and fought to converge the Qi army, so that our army could nominally support the Qi army, so that they could not enjoy the fruits of victory alone, and on the other hand, they went directly to Xicheng, deceived the defenders of Xicheng with an army wearing the clothes and armor of the royal Chen family, and captured Xicheng in one fell swoop. In this way, our situation will definitely become clearer, and we will be able to win directly in it. After that, we can continue to develop and even open the current encirclement, and then consider attacking the royal Chen family in all aspects" "As for the second one, it is a retreat, and the aspect of retreat is the relationship between us and the Qi State, and now these actions made by the Qi State are very clear, that is, to occupy a part of the land from our Xuanling Continent and give it to themselves as a private benefit. And now, in fact, the southern part of the Xuanling Continent has been directly controlled by their Qi State, and even if we want to get it back now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
