Shangguan Ruo said again: "This battle between Huanliang is an opportunity for your Majesty to unify the north. It should not be missed easily."
After hearing this, before Xiao Yuan responded, a minister said: "There are actually many difficulties in unifying the north first, especially because there are many tribes and alien races in the north. This is a potential big trouble. Wei Chen thought that instead of doing this, It is better to settle Jiangnan first, and then you can plan for the world."
Jiangnan here refers to countries south of the Yangtze River, such as Wu and Chu.
"That's wrong." Shangguan Ruo said: "It is meaningless to decide on the south first. Due to geographical reasons, there are many plains in the north and hills in the south. If you go from the north to the south and get stuck in the pass, it will be difficult to advance."
"But after unifying the north, things will be different."
"And the most important point is that Sichuan and Shu have been decided. By then, our army will be able to advance by land and water, moving down the river from Ningyang. With our elite infantry, we will march southward to recapture the south of the Yangtze River in one battle."
He is right. Just like in ancient China, it is easier for the north to unify the world. This is a geographical issue.
Xiao Yuan had nothing to say about this. He had decided on the grand strategy of making friends at a distance and attacking at home, and unifying the north first.
But at this time, Liu Yuzhi also stood up and said with a little worry: "I have no objection to the alliance between Huan and Liang, but I am worried that King Huan will not be able to make plans."
This is talking about the character of King Huan.
Regarding these, Xiao Yuan was actually worried. He pondered for a while and said: "What the Prime Minister said is not unreasonable. King Huan is indeed an old man. He is often indecisive and has difficulty making decisions. But now, we must rely on King Huan." , to contain some of the main forces of the Liang Army."
Based on Qin's existing national and military power, it would definitely be no problem to attack Liang, but it would not be that easy to destroy Liang.
After this court meeting, the Qin State initially formulated a strategy of allying with Huan to destroy Liang, and with Jiang Yi as a secret envoy, they secretly went to the State of Huan to meet King Huan.
This was a secret meeting. After learning that Qin was about to help Huan, King Huan immediately widened his eyes. First he looked incredulous, and then his face was filled with excitement:
"What the messenger said is true!?"
"Of course! On behalf of my king, how dare you make a joke when meeting with His Highness?" Jiang Yi said.
"This, this is really great! If King Qin is willing to help Huan, I would be very grateful!" King Huan didn't know what to say.
First there was Sun Qi, and now the Qin army came to help!
It is conceivable that if you ask him if he is still afraid of King Liang, he will probably laugh out loud.
"However, to defeat Liang, the Qin army alone is not enough. Your Highness also needs full cooperation to contain the current strength of the Liang army. In this way, when the Qin army sends troops, it can defeat the King of Liang and then completely stop the army. ."
Jiang Yi did not say that he wanted to destroy Liang, because this would scare King Huan, and the consequences would be bad. King Huan would most likely not dare to agree.
Now it is said that it is to defeat the Liang Kingdom and force it to retreat, which is undoubtedly better.
When King Huan heard this, he didn't think much about it. He immediately said: "This is natural, this is natural. If Qin and Huan form an alliance, I will go all out."
"So, I hope that after the break, Qin and Huan will always be friendly." Jiang Yi said some more words.
"Of course, of course! Cooperating with King Qin's younger brother is what I wish for!" King Huan was delighted.
After secretly finalizing the matter, Xiao Yuan began to do pre-war work. On the other hand, he secretly ordered Zhao Mu to send troops from near the imperial capital to conduct a blitzkrieg attack on Chicheng, a fortress on the border of Liang Kingdom.
Chicheng is the junction of Qin and Liang. Xiao Yuan's plan is undoubtedly to use this place as a springboard to attack Liang.
His royal order was very decisive, and when it came to fighting, he did not hesitate!
After Zhao Mu received the order, he had nothing to say and immediately sent out troops, marching under starry night, to attack Chicheng.
This Qin army numbered a hundred thousand. Because the Qin State was stationed near the imperial city and did not send troops from the Qin capital, Chicheng was caught off guard.
Due to the battle between Huanliang and the large-scale mobilization of troops, Chicheng did not have much defense. King Liang did not expect that Xiao Yuan would hit him as soon as he said so.
This is equivalent to a sudden change!
During the sneak attack on Akagi, the Liang Kingdom was a little dazed, but soon, as Akagi was lost and the news of the defeat came, the Liang King also reacted and crumpled the battle report into a ball on the spot and threw it to the ground. Cursed angrily:
"King Qin Xiao Yuan! Extremely treacherous! How could he suddenly attack Chicheng!"
In his opinion, even if the Qin army participated in the war, they should help Liang.
At this time, a minister stood up and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Qin army suddenly attacked, something unexpected happened. From the perspective of this humble minister, the most important thing at the moment is to send envoys to Qin immediately to question the King of Qin. meaning."
"Yes, yes." Prince Liang took a deep breath.
While dispatching troops to garrison at Chicheng, he also dispatched envoys to rush to the capital of Qin.
But when the envoy arrived, Xiao Yuan was no longer here, and the person in charge of reception was Yan Ming, the Minister of Rites.
During the meeting with Liang Envoy, he said: "Your Excellency is here at the wrong time. My king is no longer in the capital, so I may not be able to receive you."
"Where is King Qin now?" Liangshi asked.
Yan Ming shook his head.
"This, this, Lord Yan, as an important minister of the imperial court, how can he not know where the king is!"
"I'm not hiding it, I just really don't know."
"Well, then I want to see Prime Minister Qin!" Liangshi couldn't be satisfied.
"Okay." As far as diplomatic relations between the two countries were concerned, Yan Ming could only agree.
It can be seen that after meeting Liu Yuzhi, the latter was versatile and performed prevarication to the extreme.
Once the Liang envoys questioned the Qin army's movements, Liu Yuzhi was vague.
In the end, Liang was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.
However, Xiao Yuan mobilized the Central Army and prepared to conquer Liang Kingdom himself!
At this time, it is no longer the battle between Huan and Liang. Due to the sudden participation of the Qin army, chaos will break out throughout the north.
All countries received the information, and to a greater or lesser extent, all held court discussions and discussions.
Xuanguo.
Regarding this matter, the officials had different attitudes, but most of them suggested that King Xuan should not get involved in this matter and let them fight the three northern countries on their own.
But King Xuan was not satisfied with this opinion.
Based on the current relationship between Qin Xuan and her familiarity with Xiao Yuan, it stands to reason that even if Xuan Guo takes action, he will definitely stand on Qin's side.
However, King Xuan said:
"The Qin army suddenly attacked Chicheng. The King of Qin's purpose was obvious. He wanted to ally with Huan to destroy Liang. Once his strategic goal was achieved and the Liang Kingdom was destroyed, the unification of the north would not be far away."
"When the time comes, given King Qin's temperament, he will definitely march south in an attempt to unify the world!"
"And Xuan Guo will bear the brunt!"
"Therefore, I must not sit back and watch the demise of the Liang Kingdom. I must let the Liang Kingdom check and balance the King of Qin."
