Chapter 265 Attacking Jin
It doesn’t matter whether a king has a strong skill or not, whether he can use troops or not. The most important thing is that he must be able to use people.
Knowing others and responsibilities is the kingly way.
Currently, among the Qin generals, there are only two who can command the army, namely Zhao Mu and Su Yi.
These two men have different troops and have their own characteristics. In Zhao Mu's case, he is most suitable for fighting large-scale battles in the plains and commanding hundreds of thousands of troops to conduct roundabout encirclement.
Su Yi was good at making strange plans and liked to be in danger. He did not follow the common sense. He was as hard as a rock on the battlefield. His favorite saying was: The art of war is dead, and people are alive.
As the monarch, Xiao Yuan felt like a mirror in his heart.
Before deciding to use troops against Jin State, he also went to Su Yi's mansion in person.
General's Mansion.
This is the capital of Qin. Those who can build a general's mansion in the capital must be the general.
At that time, it was not common for the king to go to the minister's mansion in person. Therefore, after receiving the news, Su Yi hurriedly took the people in the mansion out to greet him and knelt down at the door of the mansion:
"See the king, I don't know that the emperor has arrived, and the ministers are in trouble to welcome him, so I beg to forgive me."
"Please get up, please speak in the mansion." Xiao Yuan reached out and helped him up.
"I am afraid, please, the king." After Su Yi stood up, he quickly stretched out his hand sideways and bowed slightly.
Because he was at home, he was not wearing armor, but dressed in casual clothes, had a pretty face, but was a little sick.
Xiao Yuan was wearing a royal suit and not wearing a royal crown. He tied his hair with a jade hairpin. Under his belt, the two of them walked and chatted, and soon came to the study.
"This is the General's Study?"
"Yes, the king."
Xiao Yuan instinctively looked at it for a week, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Since it is a study room, the general is a soldier, why is there no military book on the bookshelf?"
"The king doesn't know anything, so please report it in detail."
Su Yi said: "Weapon is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival. Therefore, we must observe it when using troops."
"How to observe it?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"Please look, king." Su Yi said, and took out a box, opened it, took out the bamboo slips inside, and handed them to Xiao Yuan.
"Why did the general hide the military books?" Xiao Yuan was puzzled again.
Su Yi said: "When I first read this military book, I felt that the whole paper was full of essence, and I felt that it was very small and shallow. Later, I discovered that water had no constant power, people had no constant shape, military tactics were dead, and people were alive. Only those who could win due to the changes in the enemy were the way to use military forces."
As he said that, he bowed and bowed and said, "Your Majesty is not a humble minister who is arrogant. When Su Yi was young, he had already mastered these military books in his heart. He was afraid that he would misunderstand the meaning of it, so he hid all these books and tried to deal with them based on the actual situation of the marching and fighting. After that, he would come back to read the books and read the true meaning, and then hide it again, forget it again, fight again, read again, and hide it again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but admire him very much and asked: "In this way, is there any words that inspired the general in the art of war?"
"There is a saying that I remember when I first read it, and I dare not forget it at all times. It is also the advice that I want to give to the king." Su Yi said.
"Oh? What's the remark?"
"It moves with profit, but it doesn't work with profit."
After saying that, he immediately said: "Now, Jin Liang is fighting troops. For Qin, it is the best time to go out from the east, which is right for profit."
"General thinks it's time for our Qin army to get out of seclusion?" Xiao Yuan asked intentionally.
"Yes, the king." Su Yi knelt down with his fists and said in a straight voice: "The king had been assassinated by the king of King Bai Ze for a while. Our military and civilians all thought it was done by the King of Jin. At this moment, they were full of anger and just waited for the king to give orders! In addition to the previous attacks of the four kings in the past, our Qin soldiers would all bear grudges. At that time, they would definitely fight bravely to fight the enemy and move forward!"
"You mean, if we fight, our army will have no problem with morale?" This is also the thing that Xiao Yuan is most concerned about.
"Absolutely high morale! Our army attacked Jin, and his army became famous!" Su Yi said.
"Okay!" After hearing this, Xiao Yuan immediately looked at him with a faint look: "I, I am just thinking this way!"
As he said that, he looked at Su Yi again and asked, "If this battle is left to you, I can say everything I need."
Su Yi thought for a while and said, "I have no other requests, I just want the king to let one person go to the army."
"Who?"
"General Peng Shuang." Su Yi said directly. Although Peng Shuang complained about him because of the last incident, he was very interested in the latter.
"Okay, what you are asking for." Xiao Yuan nodded and agreed without thinking too much.
Of course, he did not come in vain. Before the battle, he needed to understand the general's thoughts. Today's remarks with Su Yi also show that there is no problem with his coach Ren.
Since he had decided to send troops in his heart, Xiao Yuan also raised this question on the spot on the morning court the next day.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers below were immediately in an uproar.
People whispered and talked a lot.
Someone said tremblingly: "This is this, this is the state of Qin, so it is really not appropriate to move troops again..."
Someone echoed: "Yes, the country has just gained a foothold and the regime has just been unified. At this time, we should cultivate and rejuvenate, and we should not participate in the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains..."
Someone else said: "The Jin State has been strong for generations, while the Qin State is located in the wilderness. If we easily compete with a great country, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg..."
There was a buzzing chaotic hall. Shangguan Wenruo, Liu Yuzhi and others did not make any noise. They were all located in the train, with their heads slightly lowered, as if they were closing their eyes to rest.
Xiao Yuan did not stop the ministers from discussing immediately, but waited for a while before speaking out: "Have you finished talking?"
He was the king, and as soon as he spoke, the hall suddenly became quiet.
After a week of scanning, Xiao Yuan stood up and said seriously: "I understand in my heart that all the ministers are not optimistic about sending troops. That is because Qin State is poor, while Jin State has a strong national strength and should not be easily provoked."
"But I tell you! In the midst of great struggle, if Qin does not strengthen himself, he will be destroyed by all nations!"
"If you want to be self-reliant, you must say that you will go east! If you don't attack Jin, how can you go east!"
After saying that, he said again: "As a monarch, I dare not relax myself, nor dare to destroy my country, and I dare not let down the people of Qin!"
"Now, Jin Liang is fighting fiercely. This is the best opportunity for our Qin State to fight east! Although Jin State is strong, it can be destroyed!"
"I have made a decision, so I will obey the order!"
As he spoke, he shouted directly: "Su Yi!"
"I'm here!" The latter quickly left the list.
"I will lead you 100,000 troops out of Shanyuguan and attack Yiyang!"
