Shangguan Wenruo said: "Today, the situation is down. Huan Kingdom is attacking Xincheng. He wants to check and balance the strong Jin. Liang Kingdom is pacifying the Beimo and wants to be the overlord of the north. Wu, Chu, Zheng has fought with Yan and Ling. Xuan Kingdom is in a battle for the crown prince. Only Qin has gone out in the east and is not in the eight countries."

"The lord can lead the Qin army to the three places, take Puyang and Yicheng to serve as a way to garrison and cut off the southern line, and even to the left of Yuyang and to the suburbs of the royal family. The Shang family will not dare to leave. At that time, the lord can intimidate the emperor, and no one in the world dares to ignore it. This is the king's business..."

After listening to him, everyone nodded again. Civil officials were talking around, while military generals were ready to beat their hands, feeling quite excited.

Peng Shuang was the first one to help him, and then went out and said, "Lord! The last general thought that what Lord Shangguan said was too reasonable! According to this strategy, our Qin army will definitely come from the world!"

"Yes, lord, please give an order. I will be willing to be a pioneer!" said Goldman Sachs.

"I only need 20,000 elite troops. I will be able to capture Puyang within ten days! If I can't win, come and see you!"

"I only need 20,000 soldiers, and within five days, I can go to Puyang!"

All the generals were in high spirits and were striving to make achievements.

Su Yi closed his eyelids slightly and said nothing.

Seeing the generals like this, Xiao Yuan's eyes also flashed, but he did not make a decision immediately, but was waiting.

He knew that there were still people who had different opinions!

Sure enough, when the scene became a little quieter, Zhao Mu stood up.

"Lord." He first bent over and bowed to Xiao Yuan, then said concisely: "It is better to attack Shu than to seize Puyang and Yicheng."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan was shocked and signaled him to continue.

Zhao Mu continued: "I will first talk about Lord Shangguan's strategic plan."

"The advantage of the three places lies in the fact that Qin can go east, intimidate the royal family, and balance the world. However, its disadvantages are also in the three places. If our army takes Puyang and is suitable for the city, it may be used as a strategic road, advance can attack and retreat can defend, but it is by no means a long-term plan."

"The world is chaotic, and the harms of the three places must be the first to be affected. The strategies of Lord Shangguan are clearly distinguished, and they are half of them, not the best strategy of military strategists."

"Therefore, it is better to attack Shu than to capture the three parts of the Central Plains. Shu, if you take the land in the southwest of Qin, can be connected with Qin. At that time, the entire left territory of the empire will be owned by the lord. Only then can we talk about the incident that will come from the east after preparing for war."

Xiao Yuan still didn't say anything.

Shangguan Wenruo thought for a while and said, "Shu, a remote country in the southwest, is not enough to make a fortune by building troops and working hard to achieve success. The three places in the Central Plains are the key points of the world, and the lord should not abandon it."

"Mr. Shangguan's words are wrong..."

Zhao Mu began to argue with Shangguan Wenruo at Xiao Yuanqian.

He said, "At the end of the day, those who want to enrich the country must broaden their territory, those who want to strengthen their troops must enrich their people, and those who want to be kings must be virtuous. All three are prepared, and the king will follow."

"Now, under the lord's jurisdiction, although Qin is in great power, compared with the Chinese countries, it is still a place where the land is small and the people are poor and the people are poor and the cold. Therefore, I am willing to engage in the Yi."

"Shu, although it is located in the southwest and is remote in a corner, was called Sichuan and Shu in ancient times, with a fertile land of thousands of miles. I didn't know that I was hungry and there was no desolate year. The world was called Tianfu."

"If you take the land, even Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu are enough to expand the country and Shu brocade are even more famous all over the world, and their wealth is enough to enrich the people."

"The Shu Lord is dark, he does not manage the government inside and does not govern the army outside. If Qin attacks him, it is like a tiger and wolf chasing sheep!"

He said so much in a row, and the reasons for refuting were sufficient, and the reasons for attacking Shu were even more clear.

What he said, in summary, is to first determine the southwest, connect the left part of the empire's territory into one, and then dominate the Central Plains.

After he finished speaking, he gave another gift and returned to the train.

At this time, everyone in the hall started to talk again.

Xiao Yuan was carrying his hands behind his back, looking carefully at the empire behind him.

After a while, he turned around, first glanced at everyone for a week, and then said with a trembling voice: "See the order!"

The generals were shocked and all looked at him in unison.

"I want to attack Shu!"

He made a decision directly. Logically speaking, Shangguan Wenruo was a counselor in the army. Xiao Yuan should pay more attention to his opinions. In addition, he trusted the latter very much, but in this plan, he listened to Zhao Mu's opinions.

This is exactly his wisdom.

"As for the order--" Everyone bowed one after another when they heard this.

Since the strategic policy has been established, the next step is to study how to use troops.

Xiao Yuan sent someone to get the map of Sichuan and Shu, then spread it in the center of the hall, and then waved: "It's all close to you."

When people heard this, they gathered in front of the map.

The counties and counties in Sichuan and Shu were much more numerous than Qin, and their territory was larger than Qin, but they belonged to a corner of the southwest of the empire. In the time of that time, they were not at the political center.

After Xiao Yuan looked carefully, he drew out the battle sword, pointed to the place bordering Qin, and said first:

"Please look at it. If you enter Shu from Qin, there are two normal marching routes. The first is to directly approach Tongguan. Once Tongguan is broken, you will enter Shu."

"The second place is to walk on the Jiange Road, but the road is winding and there are many steep ridges. If the Shu army knows about it, they may be trapped. In addition, if the Shu army guards the important road, the Jiange Road will not be connected."

"The lord is right." Zhao Mu continued: "Soldiers are very fast. As the last general, the Lord of Shu doesn't know our army's actions yet. Therefore, there should not be many defenders in Tongguan. You can take advantage of their unpreparedness and directly use blitzkrieg to break through Tongguan, and then take the opportunity to capture the inner city..."

"Yeah..." Xiao Yuan nodded slowly.

But at this time, Su Yi pointed to a mountain range and said, "There is a third road."

He hadn't spoken yet, and Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at him when he heard this.

The latter explained: "If the lord gives me 30,000 elite soldiers, I will travel through the Qinling Mountains and reach the Tianshui River in Shu without even having to go past Fuling, and directly attack Zitong and approach Yizhou! A battle will determine the universe!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart moved.

But Zhao Mu expressed his objection: "General Su Yi's strategy is actually a risk. Not to mention the price you need to pay to travel through the Qinling Mountains. Even if you can reach Tianshui, what should you do if you can replenish food and grass in the future?"

"As the general said, Sichuan and Shu have thousands of miles of fertile land, and there is no food in the sky and water?" Su Yi said directly: "I only need to win food for a few days and be able to pass the Qinling Mountains."

"Even if you can conquer Tianshui, it's too risky. If the Shu army divides troops into encirclement and suppression, General Su will die without a place to bury him." Zhao Mu continued.

His combat philosophy is obviously different from Su Yi.

When the latter heard this, he did not make too much excuses, but said: "Weapons are the tricks. The key to military tactics lies in the word "strange". If you attack cities and villages step by step, how can there be strange soldiers?"

"But this... is still too risky." Zhao Mu said worriedly.
