Chapter 828 Urgent Decision
Time flies.
In the summer of the same year, Qin State was improved after the war, and its comprehensive strength was far superior to Wu and Chu countries. Xiao Yuan's ambition further expanded, hoping to quickly eliminate the countries and capture the entire world.
On this day, he also discussed this matter with an important minister in the study.
This is not the court hall, but more like a military meeting. Those who came to participate were not only senior generals from various departments, but also counselors and civil servants such as Liu Yuzhi, Shangguan Wenruo, Jia You, and Tian Su.
At the beginning of the discussion, Xiao Yuan did not beat around the bush and directly expressed his plan to regain Jiangnan.
The south of the Yangtze River here refers to the south of the Yangtze River, which is equivalent to Wu and Chu.
As soon as this question was raised, it immediately received support from many generals.
Peng Shuang was upright and the first to say: "The king wants to pacify Jiangnan. I agree with ten thousand of them. There is nothing to say. If the king gives the king's order, I am willing to fight this front!"
Ning Zhan said: "The children of Wu and Chu are all rats. They have attacked our Qin State many times, but they have never settled the accounts with them!"
"That's right!" Wei Qing continued: "Every time there is a big battle in the Central Plains, as long as our Qin army comes out, Wu Chu will stab him in the back, how many times have you been! The king should have long since rushed to the south!"
Goldman Sachs said: "Wu Chu's intention to peek at Qin has never diminished. Even if he was defeated last time, it was still the case. If Jiangnan was not pacified, they might have to harass him behind his back."
"The clown jumping, you can get a fight!" Tang Yue said, and also clasped his fists at Xiao Yuan: "Please give an order. The last general is willing to attack Wu Xianfeng. If he meets Xiang Mo, he will be killed and presented to the king!"
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled happily, and the generals could see that he could see the battle.
However, after the laughter, he glanced at the other ministers who didn't speak.
From the scene, those who stand up and support are all generals who are good at fighting tough battles. Most of these people have one characteristic, that is, they are brave and negligent in strategy.
Any country must ask the military commander if it wants to launch a war, but now Su Yi and Sun Qi have not expressed their opinions.
More importantly, a group of strategists were silent.
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand slightly, stopped the crowd's rising emotions, and glanced at the week and said, "This is the beginning of the debate, so you can speak frankly."
Hearing this, Jia You stood up first and bowed and said, "I think it is not the best way to go to Jiangnan now."
Before Xiao Yuan could speak, Peng Shuang said dissatisfiedly: "Wu Chu conspired to see Qin many times, shouldn't he fight!"
"It should be fought, but not now." Jia You calmly said to Xiao Yuan: "After the war, although Wu and Chu were weakened, they will also pay more attention to defense and military in order to survive. If they attack at this time, in order to protect themselves, the two countries will inevitably unite and fight against the whole country. And in the uncertain situation in the north, our country will not be able to swallow Jiangnan in one breath."
"Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, we should manage civil affairs, stabilize the cold land, erode the Huan Kingdom, and make progress. Only when the northern pattern is determined can we lead our troops south and swallow the south of the Yangtze River."
Xiao Yuan frowned slightly and said, "As the gentleman said, when will I achieve great achievements?"
"If you become an emperor, you will definitely work hard and overcome all obstacles. The king is the current hero. You should plan and act before you move. You must not be impatient for a moment." Jia You said seriously.
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath.
Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Wenruo stood up: "I am advising that Master Jia's words are incisive and unique. Only when the north is determined can we seek Jiangnan. At that time, Wu and Chu will become a corner, how can we compete with the army in the world?"
"I also agree." Tian Suo said, "If you attack Jiangnan, Huan Ling may intervene, but if you decide the north, Wu and Chu will not intervene, because the king can use Xuan to check and balance Jiangnan. In addition, Wu and Chu are weaker than self-protection. Now they only seek to survive and dare not intervene in the wars in the north."
"I am following the proposal." Liu Yuzhi said: "If the king does not have the confidence to defeat Wu and Chu in one battle, then he will never support the advancement of Jiangnan."
Xiao Yuan looked at him.
Liu Yuzhi continued: "War is about money and food. When a large army moves, it costs a lot. If you cannot complete the destruction of Chu and are forced to withdraw after a stalemate, that is, you will be seriously injured."
These ministers are all right and left. Many times, their plans have laid the foundation for the victory or defeat of a war. Now all of them are opposed, which shows that Xiao Yuan's decision was an urgent mistake.
He was not a stubborn person. After listening to the advice of the adviser, he also thought seriously and then looked at Su Yi.
Before, it was the counselors' analysis of the grand strategy. Now, Xiao Yuan wants to hear the analysis of the war if he goes south.
Seeing this, Su Yi first pondered for a while, then went out to salute and said, "If you attack Wu and Chu, I think it's inappropriate."
Xiao Yuan signaled him to continue.
Su Yi continued: "Now our country's national strength is indeed stronger than Wu and Chu, but these two countries have a natural danger in the Yangtze River."
"Our army is mostly northern infantry, and the land battle is decisive, and Wu and Chu are not opponents. But if we talk about the battle of Linjiang River and the navy in the world, the only one who can compete with Wu and Chu is Xuan Kingdom, which is the shortcoming of our army."
"It is a taboo for military strategists to use their own shortcomings and attack the enemy's strengths."
"In addition, our Qin cavalry can traverse the plains, but cannot board the warships, and will lose a lot of help."
After he finished speaking, Sun Qi also stood up and said, "General Su's words are reasonable. In the eyes of his ministers, Wu and Chu would not dare to use troops outside for several years. Instead, they hope that the king will attack, because once this happens, they will have the confidence to defeat our northern infantry on the vast river surface, and then return Qin to a weak state."
"You mean, if I rush my troops south, I may be defeated by the Yangtze River?" Xiao Yuan asked in a narrow voice.
"Yes." Sun Qi said directly: "Military and national affairs, I dare not speak vainly. General Su Yi said just now that our northern infantry army is not familiar with water wars. If it is on the Yangtze River, it will inevitably be unacceptable to the local environment, often suffer from illness, and have seasickness and vomiting. How to fight against the Wu Chu Navy."
"The king can only unify the north first, then train the navy, and look at the crowd of millions. At that time, Wu and Chu will undoubtedly be defeated."
After hearing what they said, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath again. In his heart, he had fully realized that he was anxious and that he had made a decision-making mistake.
At the same time, he also looked around for a week again.
At this time, the generals who asked for the battle also moved their mouths, looking like they wanted to speak but stopped.
Because the counselors and the commander thought that it was impossible to conquer Wu and Chu now, there were great differences in military opinions.
After a moment, Peng Shuang said, "No matter what decision the king makes, I will hit him wherever he points!"
"The same is true for the last general!" The other generals clasped their fists in shock.
Chapter completed!
