Ying Yuqian changed the subject and said: "As for the erection of monuments for the dead soldiers, we will make arrangements later. The problem we face now is that after defeating Qi's army and capturing Tian He alive, what should we do next? Yes Continue to march into Qi and seize the city, or stop and rest, and stay put for the time being?"
Tian He is the emperor of Qi, and this is Qin's weapon.
It's just that Ying Yuqian doesn't interfere in military affairs, so he still has to make inquiries to understand the thoughts of Bai Cejun, Lin Feng and others.
Only when the strategy is determined can it be implemented.
Bai Cejun smiled slightly and said calmly: "Your Highness, in fact, we have the upper hand in taking Tianhe and have the greatest advantage. If we were the ones who entered Qi State before, we would have faced various obstacles from Qi State. , there is not enough initiative. So now, the situation has changed, and we have completely taken the initiative and mastered the right to speak."
"Whether it's a fight or a draw, how the fight should be fought, and how long the fight should take are all decided by us. It's us who make the decision."
"You just have enough advantages, you can't act recklessly, and you have to be cautious."
"I suggest that we temporarily station our troops at Dafengkou, and then arrange for the Black Ice Platform to spread the news in Linzi, and wait for the movement of Qi State. No matter what happens, Qi State will never give up on this emperor. Otherwise, all kinds of things will happen in Qi State. question."
Xun Peng thought for a while, and he felt the desire to express himself, so he took the initiative and said, "Shuai Bai, will Qi have another emperor?"
Bai Cejun stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "If Qi State establishes another emperor, will the people belonging to Tian He's family be willing to do so? These courtiers will definitely fight back and will work to save the emperor."
"If we attack Qi State in one go, it will unite Qi State internally and unite with the outside world first. If we wait and see what happens for the time being, we can use Tian He as a pawn to negotiate with Qi State."
Xun Peng still couldn't quite figure it out, and said again: "But we can take advantage of the defeat of Qi's army and continue to attack the city. If we don't take advantage at this time, we will be fools."
Bai Cejun looked slightly cold and explained: "Qi is not easy to attack."
Xun Peng said again: "Even if it is difficult to attack, we must attack, otherwise it will be a waste of time. This time we come to Qi State to attack the city and seize the territory."
A sharp look flashed across Bai Cejun's turbid eyes.
That bastard Xun Peng.
Is this an attempt to make a point?
Bai Cejun sat up straight and said directly: "Xun Peng, a war may not be specifically about attacking a city or taking territory. With Tian He in hand, if we want to seize the city, it can be solved through negotiation. This way, the loss is minimal. of."
Xun Peng admired Lin Feng from the bottom of his heart, and even admired Bai Cejun in the past.
However, he still insisted on his own ideas.
What needs to be said is that just because Bai Cejun is an old man, he cannot take a step back.
Xun Peng took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I understand what Bai Shuai means. You think that we have Tian He and can benefit from negotiations. But the emperor has it in his hands and can negotiate at any time. Why not attack first and then come back?" What about talking? Whether we want to talk or not is up to us. Let’s fight first and then talk.”
"Zhuzi, you know nothing!"
After Bai Cejun heard this, he couldn't help but swear.
He just couldn't help it.
This bastard Xun Peng is simply messing around. He is too lazy to talk and is wasting his time. If he were the coach, he could suppress Xun Peng with just one sentence. It's just that Bai Cejun joined the army and it's normal for people to disapprove of him.
Bai Cejun looked at Lin Feng and said solemnly: "Please let Lin Shuai comment."
"Let Lin Shuai comment."
Xun Peng also answered again.
Lin Feng smiled in his heart, Xun Peng was just trying to make excuses everywhere, and thanks to the fact that Xun Peng was the chief general of the Black Dragon Army, he didn't have many affairs involving the court, especially the Black Dragon Army had little contact with other armies and was relatively independent.
If such a temperament were to be promoted in official circles, they would definitely be encountered everywhere.
Lin Feng said directly: "As for whether to send troops, I agree with Bai Shuai's analysis."
Xun Peng scratched his neck and asked, "Why?"
Lin Feng said: "There are three reasons!"
Xun Peng's brows trembled when he heard it. What he feared most was Lin Feng's little analysis. This was the most terrifying thing.
This feeling comes again.
Lin Feng did not beat around the bush and said directly: "First, if we enter the territory of Qi State now and Qi State is unprepared, we can indeed attack the city and plunder the territory, and even capture two or three cities. It will not be difficult."
"However, Qin's goal is not one city and two cities, nor is it one county and two counties."
"Our goal is to become one state."
"Secondly, the strength of Qi's troops has been shown through fighting. It is very powerful. If we want to invade Qi, if we want to capture a state, it is immeasurable how many soldiers we will lose."
"Furthermore, after this battle, our troops have suffered huge losses and many soldiers have been injured. We cannot continue to fight the war."
"Third, we captured Tian He alive in one battle, which proved the strength of the Qin army. Winning this battle can even deter Qi and despise Qi. Once we enter Qi's territory, if there is one or two defeats later, it will also Or if there is a stalemate, it will weaken Qin's power."
"Only by leveraging the current power can we negotiate better."
"Of course, Bai Shuai's analysis just now is also a key point. If we enter the territory of Qi State, all the forces of Qi State will temporarily abandon all conflicts and all come together to resist us. This is inappropriate."
"So at the moment, it is most appropriate to sit on the border."
Lin Feng talked eloquently and said: "We hold Tian He as a hostage, and the State of Qi will naturally come to negotiate. As long as we start negotiations, the State of Qi will be slaughtered by us. When it comes to negotiations, I also have some ideas."
"My plan is to force Qi to cede Jizhou to Qin."
"In the past, when the Xia Kingdom was destroyed, Jizhou was given to the Qi State. Now that we take it back, we can expand the territory again. Furthermore, Jizhou did not originally belong to the Qi State, but after the Xia Kingdom was destroyed, it was transferred to the Qi State. conquered Qi."
"The cession of Jizhou is still within the acceptable range for the monarchs and ministers of Qi State."
"Basically, it was an idea I had."
Lin Feng said: "Of course, in addition to asking Qi to cede Jizhou, we also have to extort Qi's grain. Qi is a rich country with money and grain. If we don't take this opportunity to extort some, we will be sorry for the land and land in our hands. "
After Xun Peng heard this, he smiled and said, "Shuai Lin's words make sense."
Bai Cejun nodded. Lin Feng's words were more complete and far more thoughtful than he thought.
Wang Lie said directly: "Prince, I agree with Lin Shuai's analysis. We will take a break for this battle and wait for Qi State's arrangements. If Qi State does not send an envoy, we will make plans again. But this possibility is almost slim. .”
Ying Yuqian thought for a while and agreed with Lin Feng's analysis. He nodded and said: "Since we all agree, it's settled. Arrange the people of Heibingtai in Linzi to spread the news and disturb the people of Linzi."
"Here!"
Everyone answered in unison.
The general direction has been set, everyone has taken reassurance, and then there is a direction.
