Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

"My Majesty, I think that the Qin people will send troops at this time, but it still needs to be considered.

"I suggest sending more spies to Xianyang to investigate, so that we can make a conclusion."

Regarding Li Si's remarks, Cao Chao did not give any opinion immediately, but looked at Taiwei Zhu Ying who was still bowing his head in thought.

"I don't know what the captain thinks?"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Ying cupped her hands and said,

"I think the Qin people are very likely to send troops!"

"Oh?"

The tiger's eyebrows were lightly frowned, and the expression on Cao Chao's face became serious.

"You may wish to elaborate, Lieutenant."

"promise!"

Zhu Ying raised her head slowly and said in a deep voice,

"Today's general situation in the world, aside from the country of Yan, is actually my great Han fighting for hegemony against Qin and Qi."

"Although the Qin people destroyed the Three Jin Dynasties and occupied a large piece of land in Nuoda, it will take at least several years or even more than ten years to restore production and stabilize the situation."

"On the other hand, I am a big man, under the ten years of great king's hard work, the national power has become stronger and stronger.

"Especially after the large-scale promotion of cassava and the completion of the Lingqu Canal, the national strength is not comparable to that of ten years ago.

The light of wisdom shone in his eyes, and his loud voice kept echoing in the hall.

"The resourceful people among the Qin people must have seen this too, they know that my big man will never give them time to recuperate.

"If they don't make a move in advance, my big man will also make a northern expedition in the next one to two years.

"Instead of this, it is better to act first and start a war to divert domestic conflicts.

"I think that's why the people of Qin sent troops at this time, please see clearly, Your Majesty."

"it is good!"

After listening to Zhu Ying's analysis, Cao Chao applauded and praised.

"Aiqing really deserves to be the number one resourceful person in my man, and she did a good analysis."

"The Qin people want to take advantage of the prestige of the extermination of the three Jin Dynasties, and when their morale is at its highest, they will go south to fight the king to the death. This is their only chance.

"If we wait another year and a half, and the power to destroy the country is gone, then once this king makes the Northern Expedition, the people of Qin will have no chance of winning.

Speaking of this, Cao Chao couldn't help but sighed.

"Oh, what a pity.

"This king wanted to wait a little longer, and then he could defeat the Qin people with a relatively small price."

"It's just that from now on, not all people in Qin are the generation of rich people, there are still people who can see through this king's plan!"

But at the next moment, Cao Chao changed the subject immediately.

"Forget it, Taiwei, tell me, what is the key to this battle?"

Facing Cao Chao's gaze, Zhu Ying continued,

"I think that the most urgent thing for us to do is to find out the route of the Qin people's main force going south before we can respond."

Cao Chao nodded slightly upon hearing this,

Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will win every battle, this truth is definitely true.

"Then according to the Taiwei's opinion, which way will the main force of the Qin people go south?"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Ying then said,

"In my opinion, the main force of the Qin people is very likely to send troops from Han and Wei to the south."

"Oh?"

This remark immediately aroused Cao Chao's interest.

"Tell me your reasons."

"promise!"

Zhu Ying slowly walked towards a corner of the hall, where a huge map was hanging.

This picture was drawn after Cao Chao sent thousands of people to travel around the world, and it took ten years to draw it.

It not only contains all the famous rivers and mountains in the world, but also includes the passes and main roads of various places, which can be said to have everything that one expects to find.

Although everyone has seen this picture more than once, they still feel a little excited.

This picture represents the great ambition of the king.

Nine vassals, unified the country, accomplished a feat that no one has been able to accomplish for more than 500 years!

Zhu Ying was unavoidably excited with the huge map in front of him.

I had no choice but to restrain my mind, raised my hand and pointed out three fingers to a certain position in the picture.

"My subordinates believe that there are only three routes from the north to the south.

"Go south from Guanzhong to take Bashu; go south from Han and Wei to take Nanyang; go south from Huaiyang to take Jiangdong."

Everyone heard the words and subconsciously looked at the three locations on the map.

It never occurred to them that there are still three ways to go from the north to the south.

But after thinking about it carefully, I found that these three paths are all feasible.

And as long as one of them gets through, it will be enough to unify the south.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhu Ying with incredible eyes.

What a military genius this man is!

You must know that this is the Warring States Period, and there was no large-scale North-South dispute before.

Therefore, what the other party said was undoubtedly summed up based on the terrain, road conditions, and countless previous battles, showing his extremely high strategic literacy.

Facing everyone's complicated gazes, Zhu Ying pointed to the Xinzheng area and continued,

"Since Huaiyang is now in the hands of the Qi State and my big man, there are only two roads left for the Qin people to go south.

"The former either goes south along the Han River or via the Qinling Mountains.

"Compared to my big Han's navy, the Qin people's navy is not worth mentioning. Going down the Han River will only lead to self-destruction."

"As for the Qinling Mountains, several plank roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, and are not suitable for large-scale marches.

"The Qin people have suffered several times before, and I don't think they will repeat the same mistakes."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying pointed to Nanyang again.

"Compared to Guanzhong, it is much easier for the Qin people to send troops from Han and Wei.

"As long as Nanyang is captured, the south will be a vast plain.

"A large army can go south to Xiangfan along the land route, and go straight to the Yangtze River.

"And once the Qin people block the Yangtze River, the territory of our great Han will be divided into two, and the East and West will not be able to respond.

"At that time, the Qin People's Congress can divide it and take it."

"Sigh~"

After the words were finished, everyone present was worried and couldn't help but gasp.

They never thought that the land of Xiangfan was so important to the big man.

Here Cao Chao listened, but did not respond immediately.

Zhu Ying's analysis is undoubtedly out of the way, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But for some reason, he always felt terrified.

This has never been done before.

But no matter how Cao Chao thought about it, he still couldn't think of a reason.

In desperation, he had no choice but to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, waved his hand and said.

"What the Taiwei said is true, time waits for no one, I have to start preparations as soon as possible.

After thinking about it again, Cao Chao said,

"I intend to add 20 troops to Xinzheng, a total of [-] elites, led by General Zhu Gongdao, to guard the front line of the Qinling Mountains.

"Jiameng Pass gathers another [-] soldiers, and General Dianqing is in charge of guarding it.

"Chengdu City is guarded by Zongzheng Cao Zhengchun.

"And this king personally led an army of 20 to Nanyang to fight the Qin people to the death.

"In addition, let Admiral Ren Xiao summon another 20 troops in Wuyue to defend the front line of Jiangdong."

When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically.

They both thought of a possibility.

a dire possibility

"Your Majesty is worried about the Qi Congress..."

Before Feng Quji finished speaking, Cao Chao nodded slowly.

"It's about the fate of the country, we can't take it lightly!"

After finishing speaking, his eyes turned to Zhang Cang who had been silent all the time, and he said in a deep voice,

"Master, you go to Qi State on behalf of the king, and see what the Qi people's attitude is."

"promise!"

At the same time, Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.

Nuo Da is a palace, but there are only three figures at the moment.
