Fan Sui knew that although King Qin sighed, he didn't believe in himself very much, and this question was not only a question, but also a second temptation for himself.

Fan Sui paused slightly, thought about it, and after sorting out his language a little, he hugged his fists and said, "My king: Weichen thinks that for today's plan, it is necessary to take three steps in parallel!"

"First, we need to quickly find out who the fourth country is that is! The second is to mobilize troops and prepare to crush the country."

Fan Sui had just finished speaking the second point when he was interrupted by King Qin.

"Xiangguo, but confused? Didn't you just transfer troops? If you can mobilize a large number of soldiers, wouldn't it be better to raise troops to join the party alone?" King Qin's face was a question mark.

"My Wang Rongyu: This transfer of troops is different from the previous one." Fan Sui explained unhurriedly, "In other words, this mobilization of troops is just a preparation for the third step."

"What is the third step?" King Qin immediately asked.

"Send an envoy to the country quickly, threaten it with a sword attack, and put pressure on its court to force it to retreat." Fan Sui further explained: "At the same time, on the grounds that the two countries are about to engage in an army, the envoy of that country in Xianyang will be expelled and he will report back to his king the great gathering of our army."

"Xiangguo's meaning: Is the transfer of troops to be conscripted fake, and is it true to intimidate the retreating troops?" King Qin quickly grasped the essence of Fan Sui's strategy.

"Yes!" Fan Sui nodded and said, "In order to make it realistic, the assembly of the army still has to be done, or it can gather 20,000 to 30,000 troops, but it is just late and early to return, and it is recycled to make the effect of a steady stream of troops."

When King Qin heard this, he paced in place.

Fan Sui's method is indeed a method, and it is also a way to minimize the losses of the Qin State, but can it work? Since the opponent dared to send troops to join the party, how could he withdraw because of his own slight intimidation?

But if not......

After a long time, King Qin finally made up his mind, and then said to Fan Sui, "Xiangguo's thoughts are reasonable. However, the affairs of the military state should not be completely blamed on the cowardice of the opponent."

"The Black Ice Platform has already gone to find out who the opponent is, and the front line Bai Qi should also try its best to check, I believe there will be an answer in the near future." King Qin paused slightly, and then continued: "The intention of the widow: first according to the will of the Xiangguo, the soldiers still need to be assembled, however, in order to avoid intimidation and surprise, you can first gather an army of 30,000 to 50,000 in Guanzhong, and stand by with Hangu Pass, and at the same time, the troops of Chu will be assembled first, and Bashu will also do a good job of mobilization, once there is discord, the widow should not hesitate to fight."

Fan Sui, who heard the words, thought for a moment, and then offered a skillful sycophant: "In this way, although it may slightly affect the use of the autumn harvest, it is to firmly hold the initiative in his hands, and this is a foolproof strategy. My king is thoughtful, and there is more than the ministers can do."

However, did Fan Sui really not think of this?

Apparently not. To be precise, it should be Fan Sui who temporarily split the plan and deliberately gave up the initiative, giving the initiative to an unknown enemy country in the strategy, and handing over the initiative to the King of Qin outside the strategy.

In this way, his own advice became the will of King Qin, not only slapping the sycophants, but also reducing the responsibility he needed to bear to the minimum, and at the same time, his so-called strategic concept of "not seeking defeat to win, but only seeking a decent exit" was finally recognized by King Qin.

Whether it is flattering or self-preservation, I have to admit that Fan Sui is very set, not only in military affairs, but also in being an official and a minister.

And just when King Qin, under a series of operations by Minister Fan Sui, finally reached a unified will for the future plan, Bai Qi also got two heavyweight reports at the same time.

One is an overall report on the collection of grain and straw by the Wei army;

The other is the latest news brought back by the scout captain who returned from exploring the three sides of Light Wolf City, the Fortress, and the Jiepai Ridge.

After the grain was counted, although the heavy rain extinguished the flames in time, in the process of the Wei army's breakthrough, with the help of fire oil, the fire still burned a large amount of grain and grass. Now, with the grain and straw left by the Qin army itself, if the standard of one meal a day and one tael per meal is enough, it is enough for the remaining 130,000 troops to hold out for 256 days.

I have to say, this is one

The exciting news that on the 25th and 6th, it was enough for the army of the Qin State to rush to Shangdang from anywhere in the Qin State, including the southernmost Chu Di Pegasus.

But at the same time, it's also frustrating news. The so-called 256 days means that each person should consume only the smallest amount of life-saving grain per day, so that the army can last so long.

But if you want to preserve your combat strength, and even consume a lot of physical strength to attack the pass, I'm afraid this idea can only last for seven or eight days.

Seven or eight days, even if they came from Hangu Pass, it was only enough.

But Bai Qi knew: because the east and west of the river were all in the hands of the Qin army, there are only a symbolic thousands of people guarding Hangu Pass today. And the closer counties of Ha Dong, Ha Xi and Hanoi could not send a large army.

If you want to recruit troops from Guanzhong, or transfer troops from further south, seven or eight days is absolutely not enough.

That is to say, it is not a big problem for the army to be received, but it is almost impossible to turn defeat into victory again.

In this regard, Bai Qi could only sigh lightly, but no matter what, at least the army was not in danger of being wiped out, which could be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Compared to the problem of grain, Bai Qi was obviously more interested in the opponent he was about to face - if it was the Han army, perhaps, the problem of food was not a big deal.

It's a pity that the news brought by the scout made Bai Qi a little difficult to accept.

"Wu Anjun: The last general and other three scouts went to Guangwolf City, Danshui and Jiepai Leader to investigate, and sure enough, they saw that their passes were all closed and closed, and above the passes, there were ...... all over the place" The scout captain glanced at Bai Qi, obviously knowing how much impact his next words would have on Wu Anjun, and he was a little speechless for a while.

"What's everywhere?" Sima asked from the side.

Listening to General Sima's questioning, even if he was reluctant in his heart, he could only answer hard. Immediately, the scout captain clasped his fists and said, "Above the three passes, there are banners with Zhao characters with red backgrounds and black characters. The guards and patrolling soldiers on it are also the appearance of the Zhao army in Hufu and cavalry."

"What?" Bai Qi stood up with a snort: "Zhao Jun?"

"Yes, yes!" The Scout Lieutenant replied with some stammering.

I thought that it was Qi State, Chu State, guessed that it was Han Zhiguo, and even Yan Guo's backstab, Bai Qi also thought of it, but it turned out to be the Zhao State - the Zhao State that was the first to be excluded, and even the Zhao State that never appeared in Bai Qi's list!?
