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's 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 one hundred thousand troops. We can divide our troops into two groups. The first group will have a main force of seventy thousand and attack Tongguan."
"For 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 Shu to provide support."
After hearing what Xiao Yuan said, Su Yi first looked at the map carefully, then clasped his fists and said, "The last general takes orders!"
"Lin Chu!" Xiao Yuan shouted again.
"The general is 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 at war, the importance of detailed espionage goes without saying.
In fact, Xiao Yuan was very satisfied with this 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 opinions, 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 discussion 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 soldiers and horses have not moved yet, but the food and fodder have already moved ahead.
However, before attacking Shu, an episode occurred in Qinzhou.
Gu Tong couldn't be happier now, because wherever he went, he was praised by a bunch of people. When everyone found out that he was Gu Xue's father, how could 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, there 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 and brought to justice by the Wuwei Mansion and sentenced to three months in prison.
The feeling in prison is not pleasant. His son was arrested, and how could Mr. Fan not 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 the 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 a husband like the Grand Administrator, 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 daughter, 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, but I hate that rebellious son of mine who often gets into trouble. No, a few days ago, I just had a little fight with someone. There was a conflict and he was imprisoned by Wu Wei Mansion."
"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, and 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? He is engaged to his lord, and he does not dare to offend her.
After the two met, there was naturally another polite exchange of greetings, and then Gu Tong also revealed his intention.
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 minor, 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 big or small 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, 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 dissatisfied:
"Dad! Why are you like this! There are some things that you cannot agree to. If you are like this, what will Brother Xiao think of me..."
She was speaking in a hurry, with a look of grievance on her face.
When Gu Tong saw this, he laughed repeatedly and said: "Haha, yes, yes, Xue'er is right, it was my father who made a mistake. It won't be like this again..."
"Humph!" Gu Xue was still dissatisfied and very angry.
