Qinzhou, Sun Qizhi.
After entering the Qin Dynasty, he is now a guest minister of the Qin State, and naturally has his own residence.
At home, Xiu Niang was sitting across from her on her knees, pouring tea for him.
The couple treated each other with respect.
Xiu Niang was born as a lady, and after pouring the tea, she couldn't help but say: "Husband, not long after you entered Qin, you encountered the alliance of the five countries. Don't you have any opinions on the current situation?"
"What do you think, madam?" Sun Qi asked.
"I'm afraid Qin is in danger." Xiuniang said.
Sun Qi smiled and shook his head: "It seems that the five countries are attacking Qin and Qin is in an absolute crisis. In fact, this is not an opportunity for Qin."
"My husband has such confidence in King Qin?" Xiuniang was slightly surprised.
"It's hard to say now." Sun Qi shook his head slightly again.
As soon as he said this, the door was knocked heavily.
Just as Xiu Niang was about to stand up, Sun Qi stood up first: "I'll go."
As he spoke, he quickly walked to the door. After opening it, he was stunned for a moment, and then saluted slightly: "Master Liang."
"Your courtesy is welcome." Liang Yuan returned the courtesy, and then said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I have an invitation."
Half an hour later, Prince Qin’s Mansion.
This meeting was not a court meeting, and the participants were all military and political officials, and they did not hold any false positions.
On the left, headed by Su Yi, stood a group of senior generals; on the right, headed by Liu Yuzhi, stood a group of civil servants and counselors.
After everyone arrived, Xiao Yuan also got straight to the point and said, "Let's talk about what you think about the alliance of the five countries."
Upon hearing this, counselor Tian Shuo was the first to stand up: "May I ask, Your Majesty, do you want war or peace?"
"Can this battle be avoided?" Xiao Yuan asked back.
Tian Xuandao: "Although the five countries have issued an order prohibiting Qin's trade, they have not yet entered into any alliance. During this period, our country still has a lot of room for maneuver, either by lobbying or bribing ministers of other countries with large sums of money to mediate and disrupt the situation." Their joint plan.”
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan did not express his position immediately, but looked around for a week: "What do you think?"
Liu Yuzhi shook his head slightly and said: "I think this matter is very difficult. There is no way to start with heavy bribes. Moreover, the countries have taken this action, which is undoubtedly to express their respective attitudes. As soon as the alliance is finalized, I am afraid it is time to send troops. "
"The other countries are attacking me, and Qin is using his own power. I think this battle cannot be fought. No matter what, I will try my best to hinder their alliance." Tian Shou said again.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Su Yi immediately retorted: "No, I think that instead of making useless efforts, it is better to encourage other countries to speed up the attack on Qin."
"What?" Professor Tian thought there was something wrong with his ears, and said in shock: "General, you want to use the power of one country to counter the alliance of five countries? Isn't this a joke! Where is our Qin country again!"
"This is no joke." Su Yi said: "The alliance of the five countries cannot be changed. This war will come sooner or later. And as far as our country's current situation is concerned, it is better to come sooner than later."
With that said, he faced Xiao Yuan again and said seriously: "Your Majesty, if we can retreat the armies of the five countries in this battle, all the countries will be exhausted. From now on, they will no longer be able to stop your Majesty from unifying the world! In the eyes of the Five Kingdoms, this It is an opportunity to destroy Qin, but in the eyes of Wei Chen, it is also an opportunity for Qin to rise completely!"
"That's right!" As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Shuang echoed in a trembling voice: "What are the Five Nations Allied Forces? Tell me, fight them! Just turn on and off, and with the king's order, all the troops of our Qin army will be Gather together and decide the outcome in one battle!”
These were the words of a common man. After hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but glare at him.
At this time, Sun Qi stood up, raised his hands and said: "I agree with General Su Yi that the Five-Nation Alliance is a foregone conclusion. If war breaks out, our country must fight, but we must not open or close it easily, especially Shanyu Pass. That will be our country's top priority in defeating the coalition forces."
Xiao Yuan glanced at him and Su Yi and said: "Both of them believe that it is better to fight early than to fight late. I have also thought about this issue, but there are still many doubts. To put it simply, the five countries will not It’s up to you, when they fight, it’s something out of your control.”
Why we say we need to fight early is because the five countries have begun to unite to weaken Qin. The longer it takes, the more Qin's national power will be hit. On the contrary, the five countries will become stronger and stronger.
This is tantamount to one ebbing and the other elevating.
The temporary stability now will bring greater disasters in the future. Once Qin is weak to a certain extent, it will become easier for the Five Kingdoms to destroy Qin.
Xiao Yuan has already seen through this truth.
When Sun Qi heard this, he said calmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, why should we let the five kingdoms arrange this battle? Right now, Your Majesty, you can order an elite force to leave Ningyang, go down the river, and attack Wu directly." Country! Strike first!"
"The King of Wu will definitely be shocked, and he will definitely contact the other four countries urgently. At this time, it is no longer up to them. We will seize the initiative on the battlefield first."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Yes, I don’t care whether you unite the Five Nations or not, I’ll beat up your Wu State first! You want to waste time to weaken Qin, but you are forced to fight now.
Su Yi couldn't help but glance at Sun Qi, then clasped his fist towards Xiao Yuan and said: "This is a good idea, I second it."
If the opinions of the two of them are adopted, it means that the war is about to begin, and Qin will have to fight with one against five.
When the civil servants on the right saw this, there was inevitably a commotion. Jia You pondered for a moment and said: "It is inevitable, and I also agree to advance the war. However, there are certain problems with our country's current troop deployment. If Shanyu Pass is used as the first As for the battlefield, Yiyang and Puyang can be abandoned in advance."
"What are you talking about!?" After hearing this, Peng Shuang immediately became unhappy and said loudly: "These two places were conquered by our soldiers with bloody battles! How can we hand them over to others!? If the coalition forces invade, You can defend these two cities to the death!"
"The outcome of a war does not depend on one city or one pool." Jia You said calmly: "If the five countries attack Shanyu Pass, Yiyang and Puyang will definitely be attacked the most violently. These two places cannot be defended. It’s meaningless. Rather than losing soldiers in vain, it’s better to retreat in order to advance. As long as we hold Shanyu Pass, the five countries will be unable to attack for a long time and will tire themselves out!”
Although what he said was reasonable, Peng Shuang still said angrily: "What you civil servants will say! When their lips touch, they are two cities! How can we know how difficult it is for soldiers to fight in a bloody battle!"
"Okay! There is no point in discussing Yiyang now!" Xiao Yuan interrupted the argument and looked at Liu Yuzhi: "Prime Minister, if the entire army is mobilized, can the food and grass support this war?"
"It can last for a year, and there is still food and grass in Shu that can be dispatched." Liu Yuzhi replied seriously.
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan no longer hesitated: "The king wants to start the war first!"
