Chapter 479
In this debate in the Huan Kingdom court, only Sun Qi was the only one who was in charge of the war, and the result can be imagined.
He talked to Huan Xiang-Qiu Rong in front.
There was also a group of ministers behind him who gathered together in groups of three or three.
Someone stared at Sun Qi's back and whispered:
"Did you see his attitude today?"
"Hmph! The little civilian, ascending to the sky in one step, his arrogance has become heavier and heavier..."
"I don't take me seriously, and I really think who I am..."
"With this person here, the war in Huan Kingdom is endless, so it's better for General Xiang Ge..."
"About this matter, General Xiang Ge has invited us to plan together. Do you have any good plans..."
"We must not let Sun Qi continue like this, otherwise our status will be threatened..."
If he plays politics, Sun Qi, a military talent, would never be a rival to these ministers.
It’s just that people have never found the right opportunity.
At the same time, Huanliang's front line.
The Huan Kingdom stopped its troops and retreated across the board.
On the Liang army, Xue Wuyi received a letter from King Liang. The content of the letter was simple and clear, and he and Tang Yue and Cai Yan led the army to the Qinliang front line.
After receiving the king's order, Xue Wu did not dare to delay, but before leaving, he discussed with Cai Yan.
The latter considered it and said: "Given the indecisive and unstable character of King Huan, on the Huanliang border, our army would better keep some of its troops in case King Huan suddenly changes his mind."
"Mr. Cai is very worried, I am just thinking." Xue Wu said: "Then let's stay 100,000. Now there are about 300,000 on the Qin army, which is enough to deal with our country's forces."
This place was arranged properly, leaving a general to station the Huanliang border, Xue Wu also set off immediately and rushed to the Jinling area.
The battlefield began to move.
On the other side, in Jinling City.
As Shi Zhen retreated, the Qin army naturally had already occupied this place.
Then, at Shangguan Wenruo's strong suggestion, Xiao Yuan sent a notice to post a public security notice and ordered the army not to burn, kill, loot, or disturb the people at will.
On this day, in the meeting hall, he also summoned all the generals to make some discussions on the subsequent military operations.
Peng Shuang took the lead and said: "According to military information, Sun Yao's 100,000 troops are only a hundred miles away from Jinling. The last general suggested that when the main force of the Liang army had not arrived, break through Sun Yao's defense line."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan did not make a decision immediately, but looked at everyone: "Where is your opinion?"
Tian Shu said: "I don't agree with General Peng's combat plan. Sun Yao is cautious. Seeing that my main force is approaching, he has already been deep in the trenches and high bases and cannot leave. If he attacks, he will definitely fall into a hard battle."
"I don't agree, either." Shangguan Wenruo said: "The other side has a large army of 100,000, and they are defending barriers and occupy an absolute advantage in geographical advantages. If our army attacks, it will be a bloody battle. Not to mention how many days it can be captured. Even if it is captured, what is the significance of this battle?"
"I really think it is inappropriate to exchange for such an insignificant line of defense at the cost of bloody battles and serious losses from the soldiers."
"Yeah, it makes sense." Xiao Yuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said:
"In fact, our army is not about whether to attack or not to break through the line of defense in front of us, but about whether to face the main force of the Liang army in the future.
"This is the key to discussion."
He turned the topic here, and when everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Then, Shangguan Wenruo said: "I think I should not ask for a decisive battle."
"I'm asking for advice." Tian Suo said.
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan signaled them to continue.
Shangguan Wenruo explained: "Now our army has occupied Jinling, the king will completely stabilize our army's pace of entering the two countries, rather than seeking a quick victory."
"For the Liang army, if they are defeated, they will probably retreat a few steps, but once our army fails in the decisive battle, the current situation will have to be completely withdrawn from the country."
"Therefore, the king should first pass Jinling, take this as the foundation for attacking Liang, stabilize the situation, and transport all the food, grass and weapons, and there will be no worries about the key forces. If you say that you will fight to the decisive battle, no matter whether you win or lose, our army will be able to advance or retreat."
His opinion was very clear, which was to suggest that Xiao Yuan treat Jinling as his country's territory, no longer have any worries, and it would not be too late to fight again.
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Tian Shu.
The latter quickly bowed down and expressed his deep agreement.
In attacking Liang, Xiao Yuan actually didn't want to delay. It would be best to be able to fight quickly, but now the two strategists have made such suggestions, so he had to reconsider it.
In the decisive battle, are you sure you will win?
Of course it is impossible.
War is hard to predict.
Once the decisive battle fails, all the previous results will disappear!
This is a bit of a risk.
Xiao Yuan weighed the pros and cons and decided to adopt Shangguan Wenruo and Tian Shu's opinions and make steady progress first.
His enlightenment revealed that he clearly wanted to fight to the decisive battle, but he chose to adopt the advice of the adviser.
After the general strategy was formulated here, Xiao Yuan also began to really manage Jinling.
As soon as Jing Shi Zhen was defeated, although Liang Kingdom lost Jinling, the people here were still there and did not flee backwards, but the officials ran away.
After all, Jinling is a county town, and there are still many large households in the city. Many people are worried that the Qin army will steal their property after entering the city.
But these worries are redundant.
In addition to the Anmin notice, a few days later, the people dared to go out to the streets and shops dared to open the doors. Then, although they were not as prosperous and lively as usual, they could see pedestrians more or less.
Next, Xiao Yuan ignored Sun Yao's defense line and sent several troops to start recapturing the various counties under Jinling.
He wanted to completely occupy this county as a basis, rather than temporarily garrison.
He even ordered Tian Shu to be appointed as the governor of Jinling County on the spot.
At the same time, Liang Kingdom also had a fierce discussion on the battle between Qin and Liang.
In the court, some ministers said that Jinling really dared not lose it like this.
Some people say that Jinling is irrelevant, what is important is the next battle situation.
Some people also said that the Qin King's intention to attack Liang should not be very serious, so he should send envoys to deal with each other, which may prevent war.
Some people even say that instead of sending envoys to Qin, it is better to send envoys to Xuan, because King Xuan of the previous period suddenly sent troops.
Some people also say that it is better to join Wu and Chu and provoke a war in the world.
All the ministers said everything, but none of them could tell a specific strategic plan. King Liang was so quarreled that he was impatient that he couldn't help but slap the Wang Case and said, "Okay!"
The king shouted angrily, and a group of ministers stopped and were silent.
At this time, the old prime minister of Liang State stood up and said, "The battle between Qin and Liang is inevitable. Since the Qin King personally attacked, will the king also go to supervise the war to boost the morale of our army?"
King Liang glanced at him: "I am trying to do this."
"I, Wang Yingming." The old prime minister retreated again.
