Beidi and Nanman are currently in a state of surrender and have been seeking peace. The only hidden danger is Xirong.
Every time there is a war in the Central Plains, Xirong will more or less make some moves, either taking advantage of the situation to attack, or harassing you.
Moreover, the hatred between the Qin people and Xirong has been more than a hundred years old and cannot be resolved. Especially the Beiling area has been occupied, burned, killed, and looted several times.
And Beiling is the hometown of the general.
Many of the senior generals standing in the temple were from there. After hearing these words, the attention of the generals was immediately turned.
Zhang Dashan stepped out of the queue, clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty! The Xirong will never be destroyed, and there will never be peace! I agree with Master Jia's plan to eliminate the danger!"
"That's right! That Xirong traitor has never waned in his desire to invade the Central Plains! If he is not from my race, his intention must be different! Your Majesty should have eradicated him completely!" Ning Zhan then stood up.
"I invite you to fight!" Immediately afterwards, all the generals stepped out and clasped their fists together.
The generals in the army are all Xiao Yuan's old subordinates. They have fought hard and are bloody.
They were wearing the official uniforms of the court, and they were going to do it. Seeing this scene, all the civil servants couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and couldn't help but look at each other.
Xiao Yuan pressed his hand downwards slightly: "I know the fighting spirit of the generals, so go back to your own ranks first."
"No!" The generals clasped their fists again and returned to their positions.
When it comes to the policy towards Beidi and Nanman, Xiao Yuan adopts a semi-soft approach. Xirong is actually preparing to wait for the final deal. However, Jia You's proposal today gave him a different idea. Lingguo is here After wiping out Donghu, Qin might also be able to take advantage of this time to completely pacify the west.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a long time before slowly nodding his head, looking at Jia You and saying: "This matter is nothing to worry about. Mr. Jia, please continue."
"Yes." Jia You responded and said seriously: "If the king decides to send troops to Xirong, I believe that it will no longer be the situation of hegemony in the past, but a complete war of annihilation."
What is a situation of hegemony? To put it simply, it means winning the war and obtaining the surrender of other regimes. If the other party cannot defeat it and asks for peace, the war will end.
But the war to destroy the country is not a matter of words. The Xirong area is very vast. It is not an endless wilderness plain. There are also mountains blocking the various tribes. Although there is no Central Plains Xiongguan City, there are also many dangerous roads. .
Transportation at that time was different from today, and there were many other restrictions that prevented military power from fully playing its role.
In particular, food routes are a top priority. Only with logistical material support can continuous war output be carried out.
Therefore, Liu Yuzhi couldn't help but said: "It is not easy to use large-scale troops to eliminate the King of Xirong, especially to supply food and grass. When we enter other countries to fight, our officers and soldiers are not familiar with the geography and are at risk of being robbed. As a minister, See, it’s better to make him surrender so that he doesn’t dare to have any objections again.”
"The Prime Minister's words are wrong." Su Yi continued: "The only way to completely eliminate foreign troubles is to annihilate them. How about Donghu? How many times has it surrendered to Lingguo, and how many times has it gone back on its promise? Foreign enemies of foreign races will not show any loyalty. , when it’s time to invade, they will still invade, and looking at history, this is even more true.”
After saying that, he faced Xiao Yuan again, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I also agree with Mr. Jia's strategy of destroying Xirong first. Only by eliminating this hidden danger can the people behind us sleep peacefully. By then, our country will not have any worries." , raise the troops of the whole country and fight to determine the soul."
There is a certain truth to this. If we don't take advantage of Xirong now, when the world fights and Qin Ling fights decisively, Xirong will attack from behind and take advantage of the situation.
Xiao Yuan had no objection to this, and Shangguan Wenruo also stood up and said: "Lingguo will destroy the Hu, and we will destroy the Xirong, so that the land of China will be completely stable, and then we will decide the ownership of the world. This is a good strategy and a blessing for the nation. ."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan nodded. The counselors, commanders, and even the generals all agreed. He no longer hesitated and immediately made the decision to send troops to Xirong.
A debate in the court shifted from sending troops to Lingguo without benefit to eliminating hidden dangers. Seeing that the king had finalized the decision, Liu Yuzhi said no more, but Yan Ming stood up and said tentatively: "Although Xirong is not small in area, it is They are semi-nomadic and sparsely populated. With my opinion, I can pacify the Sichuan and Shu troops by adjusting them."
"Inappropriate." Xiao Yuan directly rejected his proposal and said, "Let's mobilize troops from the Qinzhou camp. In the battle against Xirong, our army's morale will definitely be high. The hatred in the past will turn into anger and anger. , that is, a force of power.”
There is a feud between the old Qin people and Xirong. When the twelve cities were recovered, how many young men joined the army and their blood was boiling! This morale is infinitely high.
After hearing what he said, Yan Ming saluted and returned to the train, while Su Yi and other generals said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise——"
The Ling Kingdom wanted to wipe out the East Hu, so Xiao Yuan decided to destroy the Xirong at the same time to eliminate future troubles forever and make the land of China more unified, and then compete with the Ling King for the world.
The Ling Kingdom did not know about his decision, but in the Ling King's heart, he was undoubtedly a little worried, worried that Xiao Yuan would take advantage of this to use troops against him.
When the Qin Dynasty dispersed, almost at the same time, King Ling was summoning counselor Cheng Ping in the study room of King Ling's palace.
There was a trace of worry on his face, and he said straight to the point: "Our army has absolute confidence in destroying Donghu, but the only concern is with the Qin State."
Of course Cheng Ping understood what he meant, thought for a while and said: "Even if King Qin attacks the spirit, there will be no benefit. With Xiao Thief's strategic vision, he may not rush to send troops, but just in case, Wei Chen suggested that the king It’s best to make an appointment with him and explain the key points.”
"What's the point?"
"Xirong and Donghu are both hidden dangers in the Central Plains..." Cheng Ping stopped.
"Well..." The Spirit King frowned slightly and pondered.
More than ten days later.
Just when Xiao Yuan was making arrangements before the battle, and was about to send a letter to the Qinguan garrison Yang Heng before dispatching the army, he received a personal letter from King Ling.
The content of this letter is simple, I hope to spend some time with Xiao Yuan and Lutai.
Lutai is where Qin and Ling meet.
After reading this letter, Xiao Yuan first thought about it carefully, then unfolded a piece of silk paper, wrote a letter, and agreed to the invitation of King Ling.
The princes of the world separatized the regions, divided the mountains and rivers, and carried out conquests year after year. Now, only these two kings are left.
After replying to the letter, Xiao Yuan asked Liang Yuan to make arrangements the next day, while he himself went to Mu Lianying's place.
As soon as I arrived at his dormitory, before I even went in, I met a koi carp carrying a small medicine box outside.
Seeing this girl, Xiao Yuan was surprised: "Why are you here?"
