Chapter 182 Old Man Gu
Su Yi insisted on this, which shows that he is a person who does not follow the rules and sends troops.
The advantage of this strategy is that it can catch Shu by surprise and quickly capture Shu, creating a battlefield advantage for ourselves.
The disadvantage is also very clear, that is, once the Shu army reacts, Su Yi and his 30,000 people will be blocked.
Xiao Yuan thought for a long time and decided to adopt Su Yi's opinion, but he said:
"If we attack Shu, our Qin army will have 100,000 troops. We can divide our troops into two groups. The first group will have a main force of 70,000 troops and attack Tongguan."
"On the second route, Su Yi will lead 30,000 troops and cross the Qinling Mountains! But here, I have to make certain changes to this strategy."
As he spoke, he pointed at the map with his war sword and said: "Su Yi arrived at Tianshui from here, and then quickly captured Longyou. Next, I don't need you to attack Yizhou. I only need to pretend to attack Yong'an, divide the battlefield, and serve our army."
Just send the main force into Sichuan to provide support."
Listening to what Xiao Yuan said, Su Yi first looked at the map carefully, then clasped his fists and responded: "The last general takes orders!"
"Lin Chu!" Xiao Yuan shouted again.
"The end will be here!" the latter quickly clasped his fists.
"Immediately dispatch a special team to sneak into Shu secretly. If there is any trouble in the Shu army, report it in time!"
"Got the order!"
When the two armies are fighting, the importance of detailed espionage goes without saying.
In fact, Xiao Yuan was very satisfied with this military discussion. It was because of everyone's arguments that everyone expressed their opinions. It also showed that this team was not just a bunch of losers, but everyone had their own ideas.
And his open-mindedness will also enable him to choose the best opinion, then make slight adjustments, and finally make a final decision.
After the military discussion, he also began to select military generals, and finally decided to send troops to attack Shu in five days.
His orders were given decisively and simply. A military meeting had already decided a war.
In this war in the Central Plains, Qin must take action.
In this age of great strife, if you are content with the status quo, how can you not be annexed?
After the military order was issued, the Qin army began to move up and down in preparation for war.
The troops and horses have not yet moved, but the food and fodder have already moved ahead.
However, before attacking Shu, a small episode occurred in Qinzhou.
Not to mention how happy Gu Tong is now, because wherever he goes, he is praised by a bunch of people. When everyone knows that he is Gu Xue's father, how can they not fawn over him!
He couldn't help but sigh that he was really discerning back then. He identified this son-in-law when Xiao Yuan was nothing.
And since he was originally a businessman, the people he dealt with were naturally big businessmen.
Among them was Mr. Fan, who had known Gu Tong in his early years. Recently, his son was very competitive and led his servants to fight with others. He was arrested by the Wuwei Mansion and sentenced to three months in prison.
The feeling in prison is not pleasant. His son was arrested, and Mr. Fan couldn't help but panic. He had tried many methods, but none of them had much effect.
Finally, he thought of Gu Tong.
On this day, Gu Tong was invited by him to go to a restaurant for dinner. The table was full of delicacies. After Mr. Fan poured wine for him, he could not stop complimenting him with a shy smile.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Mr. Fan first made an approach and said, "Brother Gu, you and I have known each other for ten years, right?"
"Yeah, almost." Gu Tong didn't care.
Mr. Fan couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, time flies so fast. It's been ten years in the blink of an eye, and our children have grown up. But having said that, Brother Gu is really lucky.
Your love is not only filial, but also has such a happy husband as the prefect, which is really enviable."
"Haha, blah blah blah." When he said this, Gu Tong felt very proud, and said as if showing off to relatives and friends: "It's just fate, it's just fate, but Xiao Yuan is indeed quite good to his little girl, barely.
A good marriage."
"Oh, Brother Gu, how can you mention the prefect's name directly?" Mr. Fan said quickly.
As a result, Old Man Gu stared: "What, I can't call him anymore?"
Hearing this, Mr. Fan quickly nodded and bowed: "Haha, that's right, that's right, ordinary people like us can't do it, but who is Brother Gu? Of course, of course."
After raising it to a certain height, Mr. Fan got to the point and sighed repeatedly: "Hey! Brother Gu is enviable. I hate that rebellious son of mine. He often gets into trouble. No, a few days ago, I just had a little fight with someone.
After the conflict, he was arrested by the Wuwei Mansion and thrown into prison."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Gu Tong raised his eyebrows.
"Yes!" Mr. Fan nodded, then looked at Gu Tong and said: "Brother Gu, you and I have known each other for many years. Although Quanzi made mistakes, he is young and ignorant after all. The prison of Wuwei Mansion
, I know, it’s miserable! What do you say, we are also uncles of dogs, so we can’t just ignore this matter.”
"How...how can I take care of this?"
"Oh Brother Gu, what is your identity? It's just a matter of one sentence. How dare the Wuwei Mansion not give you this face?" Mr. Fan said quickly.
His compliments and flattery greatly benefited Gu Tong. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let me try this."
"Oh Brother Gu, I won't thank you enough for your kindness. Come on, I'll give you another drink..."
Here, Old Man Gu was soft-spoken, and because of his feelings, he agreed to this nonsense. After dinner, he went to the Military Guard Headquarters.
In the headquarters, Qi Ying was reporting some official matters to Ye Cheng. Not long after, his subordinate came to report that Gu Tong wanted to see him.
"Gu Tong?" Ye Cheng didn't respond.
Qi Ying said quickly: "He is Miss Gu Xue's father."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and went out in person.
Who is Gu Xue? She is engaged to the Lord, and he does not dare to offend her.
After the two met, they naturally exchanged polite greetings, and then Gu Tong also made it clear his purpose.
After hearing this, Ye Cheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but when Gu Tong opened his mouth, he couldn't refuse directly. Finally, after thinking about it, it was not a big deal, so he might as well just let things go.
The matter was small, but Ye Cheng was already suspected of bending the law for personal gain, and somehow this matter reached Xiao Yuan's ears.
After hearing this, the latter summoned Ye Cheng and reprimanded him severely: "You are the chief officer of Wuwei Mansion! It is a law enforcement agency! No matter how small or big it is, it is about the law! How can it be like this!"
Ye Cheng stood below, breaking out in a cold sweat. He lowered his head and said cautiously: "But...but Mr. Gu..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Yuan shouted: "If something like this happens again, you, as a military guard, don't need to be a military guard anymore!"
"Yes, yes, I know my crime due to my humble position." Ye Cheng was startled and quickly knelt down on the ground.
This matter was done by Old Man Gu to save his face. Xiao Yuan had no choice but to directly offend the old man's face.
As a result, when Gu Xue heard about this, she found her father and said dissatisfiedly:
"Dad! Why are you like this! There are some things that you cannot agree to. If you are like this, how will Brother Xiao see me..."
She was speaking in a hurry, and her face was full of grievances.
When Gu Tong saw this, he laughed repeatedly and said: "Haha, yes, yes, Xue'er is right, it was my father's fault, and it won't be like this again..."
