Chapter 220 Six battles and four wins
Liu Yuzhi was in charge of internal affairs, dealing with people's livelihood policies, money, grain and taxes. He did not know some middle and low-level generals in the army, which was nothing strange.
If Shangguan Wen offered wine as a military advisor, he would naturally know the Qin army well.
These two people are also the two most important civil officials under Xiao Yuan's command, but today, there is such a great enemy, but neither of these two guys made any comments.
At present, the officials were walking outside the prefect's mansion in groups of three or three, and they were naturally talking while walking.
Liu Yuzhi and Shangguan Wenruo also walked side by side. They thought that the other party was going to leave the mansion, but unexpectedly, after walking for a while, the two of them found that the other party was in the same direction as them.
Both of them were a little stunned, and then they both smiled again. Shangguan Wenruo asked, "Brother Yu thought, where is the lord now?"
"It should be in the study." Liu Yuzhi also smiled.
"Okay, let's ask for a meeting with you and I."
Xiao Yuan is indeed in the study room now, and he was not surprised by the latter's request for a meeting, or in other words, these were all within his expectations.
When the three of them met, Liu Yuzhi and Shangguan Wenruo bowed down one after another and gave a deep bow: "Lord."
"No need to be polite." Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slips and looked at the two of them, and said straight to the point: "Tell me, talk about the war first, and then talk about the reason."
"I'm in the battle." The two of them went to the same party.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan felt relieved.
Because these two civil servants are really important to him!
Then, Liu Yuzhi took the lead in saying:
"Although the officials do not know how to use troops or fight, they also know that our army cannot retreat in this battle. In the previous hall, some officials said that in order to seek peace, they wanted to advise the lord to cede land. This is really ridiculous."
"First, in the hearts of our Qin soldiers and civilians, the lord is the monarch. If the lord surrenders without fighting, it is a destruction. Regardless of whether he can overcome this crisis, his foundation will be shaken, and the king's career will be far away."
"Second, this battle is not only as simple as the four countries attacking me, but is being looked at by the countries around the world. This is a war that concerns whether Qin can establish a country. If the lord retreats and the army of the four countries enters Qin, from then on, there will be no Qin in this world."
"Third, even if the lord cedes land and bribes the silver, it will not solve the substantial problem at all. What the four countries want is to divide the Qin territory and remove Qin from the list. As long as the lord retreats, he will retreat step by step. Not only will the four countries withdraw their troops, but it will make the four countries more arbitrary."
"Fourth, the emperor is incompetent, the empire is in decline, and the soldiers and civilians in Qin all have the intention to support their lords. The people all want to see a new Qin State. Therefore, our army can get the support of the people in this battle."
"Fifth, the generals in the army all have the intention of fighting. At this time, our Qin soldiers can also leave the pass!"
"Sixth, after the lord obtained Shu, food, grass and weapons were enough to support this war."
He said six reasons to fight and must fight. After hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then looked at Shangguan Wenruo.
Seeing this, the latter immediately said: "What Lord Liu said is for a reason to fight, and the subordinates deeply agree with it. In addition, our army also has a reason to win."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan was shocked and signaled him to continue.
Shangguan Wenruo said: "Our army can be defeated by four."
"First, our soldiers are all brave and good at fighting, but among the countries around the world, they also agreed that the Qin army was wearing civilian clothes and holding tillages. This is because our army has never left the customs and participated in the Central Plains' hegemony. This will definitely be looked down upon by the coalition forces of the four countries. Once they underestimate our army, they will become arrogant soldiers, and arrogant soldiers will be defeated!"
"Second, the Four-Nation Alliance gathered 400,000 troops, which seemed to be coming in a fierce and powerful way, but in fact it was not. Because they all attacked Qin for their own interests, once the offensive was set, it would inevitably lead to internal conflicts. As the leader of the alliance, King Jin appointed Jin as the commander of the coalition forces. Will the other generals of the Three Kingdoms really let Ying go? Once our army gives a head-on attack and divide it and then disperse, the army will be dispersed! The morale of our army is condensed into a group, and the Four-Nation Alliance, at some point, if the Jin army wants to fight, the Huan army will not want to fight. This problem will definitely happen!"
"Third, those who fight will have morale first. From the performance of generals at all levels in the army, we can also see the morale of our army."
"Fourth, the general trend of the world, the countries check and balance each other. Why do the four countries dare to attack Qin? It was because they believed that the Qin army was poor and weak, and could quickly destroy Qin in the shortest time, but once their goal could not be achieved and they were hit by it, then other countries would probably have to take action."
"Therefore, the lord not only has to fight, but also to severely defeat the coalition forces in the first battle! Because once the lord is beaten and has no power to fight back, no matter how many envoys are sent, it will be useless. Once the lord defeats the coalition forces of the four countries for a long time, the following countries will definitely take the opportunity to use troops to the four countries when they see that the four countries cannot attack Qin."
"Especially, if King Liang sees the war is in a stalemate, he will take the opportunity to choose one of the four countries and annex the territory. At that time, the troops of the four countries will not be destroyed after a long attack on Qin, and the rear will be looked down upon by other countries, and will be defeated without fighting."
Liu Yuzhi listed six reasons for fighting to Xiao Yuan, and Shangguan Wenruo listed four reasons for winning to Xiao Yuan.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan immediately stood up and said seriously: "The words of both of you will resolve my last doubts. I have made a decision on this matter."
The next day, in the meeting hall, civil and military officials gathered again.
Before Xiao Yuan arrived here, there were still noisy in the hall.
Some people are in charge of war, and some people are in charge of harmony.
"You and other civil officials, a group of dead trees and grass, have no backbone, have tried their best to persuade our Lord to surrender, and they are simply ashamed to join him!"
Some people were furious and were talking about Liu Changqing, which naturally attracted some people's criticism.
"Lord Liu is talking wildly! It's even more ridiculous!"
"This person really doesn't know that the world is high, that's the four-nation coalition..."
Other generals gathered together: "No matter what the civil servants say to the lord, our generals in the army must strongly advise the lord, and this battle must be fought!"
Just as people were clamoring, Xiao Yuan arrived.
The scene was instantly quiet, and people returned to the train and saluted one after another. He also walked to the main seat and then looked around for a week.
The civil servants and generals below were all looking at him without blinking, because his next sentence would directly decide whether to fight in this battle.
After sweeping over everyone, Xiao Yuan said directly:
"I have decided, this battle must be fought!"
Hearing this, the generals were shocked, and many civil servants were stunned. Then they all knelt on the ground. Li Minggui said in a sad voice:
"Lord, the matter of seeking peace is for great benefit. If we fight, how can our army resist the troops of the four countries? At that time, we will be afraid that Qin will be in danger..."
"I hope the lord will think twice..."
