Winter moon, Guanlong, Chang'an City.

Winter has arrived, the north wind has risen, and the chill has been seen.

Li Wannian's house has already given birth to a dragon on the house, making the house warm.

In the afternoon, in a fairly elegant study, the two sat opposite each other and played a game together.

However, it is obvious that the real attention of the two is not on the chess game in front of them, which can be seen from the fact that they have only dropped a few pieces on the chessboard, but the tea in the pot has been renewed no less than three times, and the taste is a little bland.

Sitting at the top of the chessboard is Li Wannian, although it has only been a few months since he returned from the battlefield of Jiameng Pass, his whole spirit has withered a lot, and he seems to be several years old.

As for the person sitting at the head of the place opposite him, there is an old man with white hair and good spirits, who was picked up by Li Wannian from Luoyang many years ago, and then entrusted with important tasks.

In Shenbo's hand, there was still a pile of paper full of words at this time, which was the secret report of the military newspaper from everywhere. These military secrets, Li Wannian may hide from many people around him, but he will not hide from the old man in front of him.

"Strategist, the current situation should be our last and best chance, why don't you nod your head?" Li Wannian finally couldn't hold it back, and asked again eagerly.

Just before, he invited Shen Bo to come over to play chess and drink tea, and then he took out all kinds of information obtained from the Central Plains and Sichuan Shu during this period of time for the other party to see, hoping that Shen Bo could make up his mind to send troops again.

But as a result, after reading this information and muttering for a long time, Shenbo gave a negative answer.

Seeing Li Wannian ask like this, Shen Bo also sighed lightly: "The old man knows that the general is still angry about the defeat of Jia Mengguan before. So many soldiers folded in front of the pass, and we hardly gained anything, and even the war in the Central Plains was not affected by this, so you want to take revenge as soon as possible, and you can be considered to give an explanation to the soldiers who were killed and wounded in the battle and their families......

"But has the general thought about it, is it too irrational to be so anxious to take revenge? What if the army is mobilized again this time, and the result is still a big defeat? How heavy will that blow to my Guanlong military and civilians?

"You must know that since ancient times, war has been a major event, and it is easy not to use it."

"I know you want to persuade me to strengthen myself first, and wait until the treasury is full before I can use my troops. Just like the previous battle to save Qin Yuxiang, it is necessary to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and killing the enemy unprepared is the best time to fight. But how can there be so many good opportunities in this world?

"No, I should say it, now is actually our best chance. At least now, there is endless civil strife in Sichuan and Shu, and the dog emperor has also been seriously injured by the stab, so he can't come forward to manage the government, manage the affairs of the court, and calm the chaos. Isn't now the best time to take them down?"

Li Wannian said, staring at each other with a pair of eyes, with an attitude that he would never give up without giving an explanation.

He can't be blamed for wanting to send troops again after a huge defeat, but the temptation is too great this time.

From the Central Plains, Jiangnan, especially Sichuan and Shu came back, but it was the best news, Sun Ning was assassinated and seriously injured, and the forces of all parties in Sichuan and Shu took advantage of the situation...... This is clear, it is a manifestation that the hearts of the people in Sichuan and Shu are in turmoil, and the imperial court can no longer control the situation.

If the family sends troops from Ganlong again at this time, the Jiameng Pass, which could not be won before, may be able to go down in one drum without much effort.

The old man frowned deeply, he knew that Li Wannian was a good person, and he was willing to be sincere to him, no matter whether he was up or down. Especially for himself, he is not like Zhao Guangxiao, who has no suspicions.

When he led the troops to the battle, he entrusted the entire Guanlong to himself, so trusted, it was really rare in the world.

But it was precisely because of this that he couldn't watch the other party make an irreparable mistake: "General, the old man can understand all this you said. These changes in the Dayue Dynasty seem to be indeed an opportunity for us. It seems that as long as we send troops to attack again, Sichuan and Shu will be in the bag.

"But have you ever wondered what if all this is a fake? In case all this is Dai-go

What about a trap that the imperial court deliberately led us to send troops? Then I'm afraid that the big defeat of Jia Mengguan will be repeated.

"And when the time comes, General, will we still be able to afford it?"

Li Wannian's expression changed for a while, and he was really a little shaken.

He is not a person who can't listen to persuasion, otherwise he wouldn't have consulted Shenbo today, hoping that the other party could support his decision.

But then, the reluctance and luck expectation in my heart took over again: "I can naturally understand the concerns of the military advisor, but such an opportunity is really rare. If I can succeed, the original plan can be realized, not to mention, even Sichuan Shu can be owned by me......

"General, do you really think that Sichuan Shu can be taken so easily?" Shen Bo immediately looked at him and asked, "If it were really so simple, there would be no such chaos in Sichuan and Shu now."

"General Mingjian, before that, for more than ten years, Sichuan and Shu have always been an important place in the rear of the Dayue Imperial Court, and they have been entrusted with important tasks by Sun Ning. Can we really do a better job than him, so as to completely control the whole territory of Sichuan and Shu, and let everyone be used by us?"

Li Wannian was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he could only shake his head: "I'm afraid I can't do this......

"Yes, if the Dayue Imperial Court can't do it, we will definitely not be able to do it. In this case, all we can get is nothing more than the previous plan, but if this information is true now, does the Central Plains war situation still need us to venture into Sichuan to help Luoyang?"

Li Wannian suddenly realized, yes, presumably Zhao Guangxiao in Luoyang must have received similar information at this time, and he will definitely not miss such a good opportunity, start a war quickly, and turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop.

Judging from the situation in the Central Plains at this time, as long as he really enters the decisive battle, I am afraid that he will not have time to influence and support it by entering Sichuan. So, no matter what the purpose is, it's not wise to venture into Sichuan again this time.

However, if all this is a conspiracy of the Dayue Imperial Court, choosing to stand still at this time is the safest choice and the most able to protect one's own strength.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Wannian finally understood, and looked at Shen Bo with admiration: "The military advisor is really far-sighted, I understand. This time, I will be patient, and let the soldiers below also guard Guanlong, waiting for the next opportunity to come."

Shen Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and arched his hand: "The general is wise, having this decision is the luck of my military and civilians in Guanlong!"

The two immediately looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time raised their glasses and drank the tea that had already been cold.
