Xue Dayuan and others also arrived one after another, but their reaction when they saw this information made Wen Yi very helpless.

Except for Gan Xian and He Fang, everyone else actually looked gloating.

They only knew that the Jin State might be unlucky, and they didn't think about the impact of this war on the Tang State at all.

There is still a lack of a big picture.

Sure enough, it's not so easy to find enough talent from among the civilian population.

The kind of plot in film and television dramas where a lot of military wizards and strategists can only appear in film and television dramas.

It's not the lack of IQ of civilians, it's the gap in education and experience.

These people in front of them are not bad in terms of ability or intelligence, but what they lack is experience, and they still need to be cultivated.

It's just a good time to use this as an example to explain to them.

Therefore, Wen Yi analyzed the consequences of this war from all angles in simple terms, and what the impact of different consequences on the Tang State was.

“…… The Jin Kingdom must not be defeated, at least not miserably, and only by maintaining a balance between the north and the south can we profit from it. ”

"So don't think that this battle has nothing to do with us......"

"I've said countless times that the world is like an infinite number of rings that are put together, and moving any one ring can touch another seemingly unrelated ring."

"You are all the decision-makers of my Tang Kingdom, and you must learn to look at the overall situation...... Learn to peel back the layers and find the connections. ”

Everyone looked ashamed.

"Ministers are taught."

Seeing that everyone listened, Wen Yi didn't ramble anymore, but said, "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's get down to business." ”

"Huan Wen can't be defeated in this battle, once he fails, the balance between the north and the south will be broken, maybe Yan Guo will be able to take advantage of the situation to sweep the world."

"So we have to find a way to help him through this, and everyone thinks about how we can help him."

Everyone fell into deep thought, and after a while, Xue Dayuan took the initiative to speak: "Is there a way to persuade Huan Wen to give up the Northern Expedition to Yao Xiang?" ”

Many people's eyes lit up, this is indeed the best way, and there is no danger in avoiding war.

didn't need Wen Yi to speak, Chai Ben denied it: "Huan Wen is a famous general, he rarely loses in the world in his life, and he has great ambitions and intends to re-unify the world in the Northern Expedition." ”

"How can such a person retreat because of the strength of Yan Guo, on the contrary, he will take the initiative to fight with Yan Guo in the face of difficulties, so this battle is unavoidable."

His words were reasonable, which made Wen Yi a little impressed, it seems that the first fierce general at the beginning worked hard in private.

He is also trying to be a qualified privy councillor, not a tool man.

Xie Daoyun said appreciatively: "Chai Shumi is right, this battle is inevitable. ”

The crowd fell silent again, racking their brains for what to do.

Chai Ben saw that this was not the way, so he took the initiative to get up and analyze everyone: "Our own strength is clear, and we must not send troops directly, we can only help him from the side." ”

He Fang said: "Can you give him food and weapons?" ”

Liu Meng denied: "Since Huan Wen has sent troops, he will definitely prepare enough military food and ordnance, without our help." ”

Zhao Zhengzhi said: "How about providing him with information?" Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

Chai Ben said: "This is a good way, but only intelligence is not enough." ”

At this time, Gan Xian proposed: "Let's analyze from the beginning, where is Huan Wen's advantage, why does he dare to collide with Yan Guo, and where is Yan Guo's advantage...... It is best to build on the strengths and avoid the weaknesses. ”

His words gave everyone inspiration, Chai Ben said: "Huan Wenqiang is in the water division, Yan Guoqiang is in the cavalry ......"

Several people hurriedly rushed to the map to take a look, and the more they looked, the happier they became.

"The Yangtze River has a waterway that leads directly to Luoyang, and Luoyang is surrounded by Yishui...... Huan Wen's sailor has room to play......"

As the saying goes, one person counts the short, everyone counts the long, everyone you say a word, and I actually analyze the situation for a long time.

Huan Wen is not necessarily defeated, and Yan Guo may not be able to win.

Tang Guo didn't need to send troops, he only needed to provide Huan Wen with some information, and he could almost help him get through this hurdle.

Seeing the final result of their discussion, Wen Yi said with satisfaction: "It's not bad to think of these. ”

Before everyone could be happy, he changed his words and said: "You say so much, it is all based on the fact that Yan State only has 200,000 troops, but have you ever thought about what if Yan Kingdom expands its army and increases its troops?" ”

Chai Ben said: "Huan Wen has the advantage of being a water master, and he can't retreat calmly." ”

Wen Yidao: "Theoretically, this is true, but in this way, Yan Guo can take Luoyang, and then sweep Sili, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and even Xuzhou and Yuzhou may fall." ”

"Losing the land north of the Yangtze River, the Jin state will completely lose its strategic initiative. By eliminating the advantages of one another, Yan State will be able to calmly clean up the northern countries and even unify the north. ”

"It's also not good for us, and what we want to see is that this is a win-dead battle and a stalemate continues."

The crowd fell into deep thought again, but after a long time they could not think of any feasible solution.

In the end, he could only say: "The ministers are incompetent, please ask the king for advice." ”

Wen Yi didn't continue to play dumb riddles, and said: "It's still the same sentence, this world is a whole composed of one ring after another, and it affects the whole body. ”

"Since we can't find a solution in Huan Wen and Yan Guo, let's start with other links, such as Baekje."

Baekje? The crowd looked northeast of the map.

He Fang said: "Baekje and Yan are separated by the Goguryeo-controlled Lelang County, what can they do?" And they don't have the courage to make a move against Yan Guo, right? ”

Wen Yi said: "Baekje's courage is not small at all, they coveted Lelang County and Xuansu County for decades, and fought with Goguryeo for decades in order to compete for this land. ”

"Now that they have a chance to win here, they will not give up. As long as Baekje takes Lelang County, it can directly threaten Xuansu County, which is controlled by Yan State. ”

"The rear of Xuansu County is where the ancestral land of Yan Kingdom, Dragon City, is located...... At that time, regardless of whether Baekje would send troops to Hyunsu County or not, they would have to send a large army to defend it. ”

"There are also the people of the north who have a feud with the Yan Kingdom, and they will attack the Yan Kingdom every year. As far as I know, they haven't sent troops this year, so I can contact them to invade Yan Kingdom together. ”

"With these two containments, Yan Guo will not be able to go south to fight Huan Wen ...... with all his might."

Chai Ben raised a different opinion: "Baekje can't even win the battle of Goguryeo, they shouldn't have the ability to send troops to deter Yan, right?" ”

Wen Yi said: "I can't rely on the Baekje family, so what about adding me to the Tang Kingdom?" ”

Everyone's eyes lit up at first, and then they all frowned.

The reason is very simple, plus the Tang State can indeed take Lelang County, but they can't accept it for nothing to help other countries expand their territory.

Even if this is done to help Huan Wen relieve the siege and maintain the balance between the north and the south, it will be beneficial to the Tang State in the long run.
