The two disagreed.
Wei Qing believed that the attack should be carried out in one go. If it was delayed for a long time, it would weaken the spirit of the army.
There is nothing wrong with Lou He's idea, he should be steady and steady.
The generals were actually more inclined to march. At this time, they began to speak one after another, standing out one by one, talking about their own views.
There is talk of attacking from all sides.
Some people say that they go straight to Huanglong.
There is talk of attracting the domestic army of the ghost tribe to engage in a decisive battle.
Wang Su then said: "I believe that your Majesty's strategy of surrounding and attacking at the same time is the best. Our army has sufficient strength, so we can do this."
"In this way, the war will not prolong for too long, and it will also put absolute pressure on the ghost clan in the country. At the same time, it can also occupy the hinterland to facilitate future battles."
At this time, Jia You, who had been silent until now, stood up and did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he said: "I dare you to ask your majesty whether this expedition to the ghost tribe will focus on conquering cities and occupying territory."
"The land of the ghost clan is really not suitable for living in the Central Plains." Xiao Yuandao: "But they have invaded the Central Plains many times and slaughtered countless compatriots. I vow to make them pay for their blood feud! This is also the hope of the people. At the same time, It also eliminates future troubles.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Shuang said: "That's right! The ghost clan is extremely heartless and hateful! If this revenge is not avenged, it will be really uneasy!"
The first time he and Xiao Yuan met was during the Battle of Moon City against the ghost clan.
Tang Yue then clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, please give the order! The last general is willing to be the vanguard!"
All the generals also asked for orders, and their fighting spirit rose again.
Xiao Yuan raised his hand to stop everyone, looked at Jia You and said, "What can you do?"
Jia You said: "I also agree with your Majesty's strategy of encircling and attacking at the same time, locking down Laisen with heavy troops, but at the same time, there is a big city in the hinterland of the ghost tribe."
"Let the elite troops attack in all directions and drive all the ghost tribesmen around this city here."
"It is better to drive them away than to burn and kill them."
"Under the deliberate encirclement and attack by our elite soldiers, the ghost tribesmen in a large area have only one way to survive, and that is to flee to this big city."
"By then, the city will be overcrowded and besieged by a large army, making it impossible to pass through. The supplies and food will inevitably be insufficient."
"Aren't they like demons who like to eat people? Then use this method to treat them."
When Jia You said this, all the generals were in a daze.
Xiao Yuan also narrowed his eyes.
To put it simply, it is to drive all the ghost people into a city. When there are too many people and there is no food, chaos will naturally occur. By then, when the city is extremely hungry,
And in this way, it saves the trouble of raiding and pacifying.
Jia You continued: "This requires more than 400,000 troops, 200,000 to crucify Laisen and let it destroy itself, 100,000 to attack from all sides to drive away the ghost tribe, and then lock down the gathering city, and 100,000 to deploy The key point is to fight the reinforcements from the ghost clan coming from behind."
To put it bluntly, they wanted to massacre the city, and let them massacre themselves.
It is not difficult at all to lock down hundreds of thousands or millions of civilians with one hundred thousand regular troops. Let alone one hundred thousand, one or two thousand is probably enough.
The battle to eliminate the ghost clan and massacre the city had no psychological burden on Xiao Yuan.
Why, you are allowed to come to our nation to burn, kill and commit adultery, but we are not allowed to counterattack?
When Jia You finished speaking, Xiao Yuan was silent for a moment, then glanced around and asked aloud: "What do you think of Jia You's words?"
"This" Wang Su swallowed, this was too cruel, but facing the ghost tribe, he also hated it deeply, so he did not object.
Lou He said: "When it comes to treating the ghost clan, they are demons and cannot be treated with common sense. I have no opinion."
"The general agrees!"
"The general also agrees!"
"The ghost clan has slaughtered so many of our people, and we should pay for it with blood!"
"The ghost army has invaded many times, slaughtered several cities, and tortured countless girls. Such evil behavior should be punished!"
"Master Jia has spoken to the general's heart! The general is asking for orders to fight!"
Everyone's emotions were aroused when they thought of the blood feud. No one could forgive the ghost clan for the martyrs and compatriots who died tragically.
Xiao Yuan also stood up and said in a loud voice: "Okay! Then we will act according to this strategy!"
"Obey the order!"
"Except for the remaining troops at Northeast Pass, the rest of the army has been transferred to Wu Gu!"
"The troops who participated in the previous battle will rest for two days."
"The rest of the ministries, led by Ning Zhan, will use the Ghost Army's former strongholds to build defense lines around Seth City, especially the east of Seth, which must be tightly controlled!"
"If Laisen breaks through, kill as many as there are!"
"At the same time, the military aircraft battalion sent a large number of exploration horses to find out the situation behind Seth and in the hinterland of the ghost army, and make detailed maps."
"When everything is ready, we will make other arrangements."
"I'll take your orders!" Everyone said in unison.
After Xiao Yuan said this, he looked at Lou He again: "In addition, the military badges of the soldiers who died in the battle must be kept, and there must be no omissions. At the same time, all the wounded should be sent to Northeast Pass for treatment, and the soldiers must be taken good care of. ."
"I accept your order." Lou He bowed his hands and said with a serious look on his face: "Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
The Qin army was already planning the next step, but Laisen was still hesitating and wondering how to write his battle report.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and recounted the story truthfully. Of course, this truthfulness reduced his command errors to the lowest point. He attributed the defeat to the fact that the Qin army was too powerful and that we could not fight hard, so we asked for reinforcements from behind.
After he finished writing, he checked it again before sealing it and letting the soldiers go down to deliver the letter.
"Don't forget, six hundred miles of expedited delivery to the Congress as quickly as possible." Laisen explained.
"Yes! Please don't worry, General!" The soldier saluted and retreated.
After he left, the deputy general rushed over not long after: "General."
"What's the matter?" Lathan glanced at him and continued to pack the things on the table.
The lieutenant general said: "Now that the Qin army has won a great victory, they may storm the city of Sais. The general should make this clear to His Majesty the King in a letter and ask for reinforcements, otherwise the situation will be unpredictable."
It turned out that I was worried about this.
Laisen said angrily: "Don't worry, I have explained all these situations, but don't think too much. Even if His Majesty the King sends reinforcements, we will definitely be punished for our defeat."
"This" the deputy general just felt relieved when he was silenced by another sentence.
The only worry of the ghost generals here is the Qin army's next offensive on Seth City, but they don't know that Xiao Yuan has no intention of attacking here forcefully.
A few days later, the Qin army began to transport troops from Wugu Mountain, mobilized on a large scale, and carried out strict deployment around the city of Sais, especially on its eastern front.
If you look at the big map, this city has been controlled by multiple fronts. If you want to get out, you have to fight a breakout.
This change came so quickly that even the ghost army had not yet reacted.
