The next day, the final plan was handed to King Xian, and the price surprised the cabinet, and the prince continued to oppose it, Gao Xun opposed it, and Zhao Xun opposed it. So after the price was cut in half, Nuo Yiyan took the reserve price finally set by King Xian and went to Zhang Jie to test his tone.

In fact, there is no temptation at all, Zhang Jie already knew the news yesterday, so he responded to the promise very calmly, did not give a positive answer to the request of the Xianguo at all, and finally directly refused the request of the Xianguo to buy land, and still insisted on the promise of the original six places, so the day ended in vain. But how did Zhang Jie know that Xihuan didn't help him at all, but hurt him.

The reserve price agreed upon by the cabinet also quickly fell into the hands of Xihuan, and seeing Xianguo's bid, Xihuan was shocked.

"Crazy, Bailiyan must be crazy, what can't you do with so much money, if you have to buy land, it's just crazy and incurable!"

"Her Royal Highness the princess, please calm your anger, although the matter of buying land has been broken, but the matter of sending troops to Xianguo has not yet been settled, and the minister is worried that Bailiyan will not send troops if he does not achieve his goal, and now it continues to stalemate, which is not good for the war situation."

Ji Jinsheng was worried, and Xihuan was furious:

"In other words, if Baili Yan doesn't have land, he won't send troops!"

"I'm afraid so."

"That'...... Isn't this palace self-defeating, Xianguo does not send troops, what is the point of what this palace does! ”

"Therefore, I am afraid that Bailiyan will not succeed in one plan, and if I use another plan, in the end, not only will my country gain nothing, but I am afraid that I will also harm the eldest grandson."

"Baili traitor, An dares to harm this palace like this, it's hateful!"

The right to send troops to Xianguo and the eldest grandson to cut the land is a pair of unsolvable contradictions, the right to send troops is in the Xianguo, and the Xianguo does not send troops, the eldest grandson still has to cede the land, and it is ceded to the country, which is far more than the cession to the Xianguo. Not only that, the land ceded to Xianguo can still be recovered from Weiguo, but the land ceded to Weiguo can only cry to the sea.

The situation became more confusing in just two days under the agitation of Xihuan, and Lu Jia soon got the news of the land purchase in Xianguo, because the "rumors" were quickly extinguished and suppressed by the powerful public opinion machine of Xianguo, which made Lu Jia unexpected, after learning the news of buying land, Lu Jia wanted to come to the door again to repeat the old trick, but was rejected by Bailiyan.

Annoyed and angry, Lu Jia rushed to Nuo Yiyan's house, but Nuo Yiyan stayed in the palace for many days without returning, and then did not succeed. However, he couldn't let go of the "big country" shelf, and entered the palace with a shy face to "see" King Xian, so he had to go door to door to find other cabinet "theories", but the results were all rejected.

At the same time, soon after Zhang Jie's refusal of Xianguo's request to buy land, he was embarrassed to find that Xianguo never raised the matter of troops, and even no longer summoned him, as if the matter of sending troops had become an empty dream and had never happened.

However, in the middle of June, in view of the indecisive attitude of Xianguo, Wei Guo decisively sent troops from Dekang County to the north and invaded Changsun Fangling County, and the battle on the Eastern Front began, and the situation took a sharp turn and fell to the point of no control.

On June 17, Gongling ushered in an uninvited guest, and Gongliangsong arrived in Chengling with his nephew Gongliangxu, the second son of Gongliangxiu.

As the legend goes, Gongliang Xu is handsome and chic, with no worldly talents, and is humble and easy-going, so he rode a white horse and walked on the street for the family's daughters to admire and pursue.

But Bai Liyan wondered, such a good son, can Gongliang Xiu send him to the door to be his godson for nothing?

The arrival of Gongliang Song and Gongliang Xu at the same time affected the sensitive nerves of all parties, and Xihuan, who had not yet lost his heart, became nervous again, there was a hundred miles of Yanxian Country that was no longer stopping, and Gongliang's family was sticking to the door at the moment, which could only make the situation more complicated in the future.

Gongliangsong and Gongliangxu were the first to come to Xianguo, before this more than ten years Gongliangsong did not set foot in Xianguo, very unfamiliar with the Lingling, Bailiyan arranged for them to travel in the city for a few days, met with the Guda Pafigos family, and secretly observed Gongliangxu's character.

On June 18, Yuke sent back news from the Central Plains that smallpox had spread further, and due to the frequent personnel exchanges in Liang Kingdom, the speed of smallpox spread was shocking to the point of being uncontrollable. At the same time, sporadic cases of smallpox were found in the south of Xianxi Qiunan, and Bailiyan accelerated local vaccination while expanding the production of smallpox vaccine.

In view of the imminent attack and defense, the movement and build-up of the army will undoubtedly exacerbate the spread of smallpox, and at least 500,000 copies of vaccines need to be prepared for the town army and recruit new soldiers, so that the number of vaccines left for ordinary people will be greatly reduced. To this end, we can only strengthen the inspection and epidemic prevention measures, and at the same time encourage all localities to adopt local methods of cowpox vaccination to increase the number of vaccinated people.

On the twenty-fifth day of June, there was a major change in the situation, the Wei army defeated the eldest grandson in Fangling, and continued to advance northward, there was a plan to attack Nuotang along the river, and directly smashed Tongxiang County, in view of the major changes in the situation, Bailiyan immediately made a decision, decided to raise troops to attack and defend, and then privately reported the matter to the king of Xian:

"King Qiyu, the minister suggested that our country should immediately raise troops to attack the country, continue to delay, and the eldest grandson is at risk of a complete collapse."

"Now attacking and defending, won't all the efforts made before be in vain, and I will help the eldest grandson in vain."

King Xian was unwilling, but Bailiyan said:

"Please rest assured, the eldest grandson will come to ask the king."

"What do you mean by that?"

"This time, the minister transferred 400,000 military horses from the north of Qianyue Mountain, 50,000 unicorn horses, prepared more than 15,000 four-wheeled baggage vehicles, and borrowed 100,000 war horses and 30,000 unicorn horses from Yuke, totaling more than 600,000 horses in Xianguo.

Once the main force of the guard army on the eastern front was defeated and annihilated, the minister drove straight into the army and led the army westward to the border of Liang State, cut off the entrenched Changsun Southwest Guard, and then captured the seven counties of Changsun, in order to completely annihilate the millions of troops of the Patriotic State, and cut off the southward passage of Changsun. ”

King Xian was taken aback when he heard the news:

"Aiqing, can this move work, that's thousands of miles!"

"The king can rest assured that the main forces of the defense of the country are now stationed on the eastern and western fronts and the borders of various places, and there is no main force in its hinterland except for the county soldiers, and after the main force of the eastern front is defeated by our army, the road to the west will be unimpeded.

Our army raised 1.5 million troops to cross the river, divided 500,000 to 600,000 troops to the west, and the rest of the soldiers and horses besieged the city in various places, so that the soldiers of the patriotic counties in various places could not be assembled, and then took advantage of the unprepared guards on the western front to break into their rear and divide and annihilate them, and the million-strong army of the patriotic country disappeared from then on.

After that, as long as the patriotic country is forced to surrender, the besieged cities of the besieged country will end the encirclement and hand over to our army, and so on. ”

Traditional operations are based on front-line advancement as the main combat mode, interspersed with maneuvers, and it is difficult to achieve large-depth strikes. If you choose to bypass, the defenders of the city may assemble and sneak attack at any time, or even cut off their own retreat, and fall into the enemy's back, so traditional combat is subject to mobility and logistical constraints, and it is extremely difficult to achieve vertical and interspersed operations.

For example, Sun Bin besieged Wei to save Zhao and directly attacked the Liang of Wei, which also exploited the strategic gap of the main force of Wei outside, leaving aside Zicheng of Wei and approaching Liang.

However, this move had three premises, and the purpose of sending troops was not to fight a decisive battle, but to lure the enemy's main forces to retreat. Second, the army must be durable and capable of marching quickly. Third, the information is smooth and faster than the enemy's army, and it is necessary to grasp the enemy's movements in real time. Therefore, the siege of Wei to save Zhao and others bypassing the frontier city, and attacking the core of the vertical blow can be effective.

Moreover, the productivity during the farming period was low, and the final result of the siege of Wei to save Zhao was that Pang Juan's army was transferred back, and Wei attacked Zhao in vain and lost a large number of soldiers and money and grain, which was no less than a defeat for an agricultural society.

After more than 20 years of construction, the economy, military, and politics of Xianguo have gradually changed from a traditional country dominated by agriculture to an industrialized country with both industry, industry, and agriculture, and its ability to mobilize resources for war is much stronger than that of the traditional agricultural princes, and it basically has the ability to carry out an overall war and mobilize more than 2 million people to directly or indirectly participate in the war.

The large-scale breeding of military horses and unicorn horses in Qianyue Mountain, and even the new type of baggage vehicles with a load of more than 30 stones, have greatly liberated the logistics manpower, have the ability to concentrate overwhelming superior forces in a short period of time, and send the large army to maneuver, realize the combat capability of penetrating the defense in a vertical manner, and at the same time eliminate the vital forces of the country, the rear can be completely handed over to the infantry to sweep all the way.

For those cities and fortresses that may become a threat to the vertical penetration, the infantry that follows the attack is responsible for besieging them, and when the main force of the defenders is all annihilated and the country surrenders, these cities will naturally fall into the hands of the Xian army as soon as possible.

"King, when our army completes the annihilation of the main force of the guard, the gateway of the defense will be completely exposed to the front of our army, it is no exaggeration to say that this is a rehearsal before sweeping the Central Plains, and then the battle will be thunderous and sweeping the world. This battle is not only to give the country a hard time, but also to the princes who covet our country to deter. ”

When King Xian heard this, his heart was surging and he could not hide his excitement, and he said:

"So after this war, how should the territory be chosen? Besides, what if the Jin Kingdom takes advantage of me to raise the country's troops to attack. ”

"Back to the king, after this war, the minister suggested cutting off the four counties of Sun Sang, Nansang, Beiqingtian, Shutian, or at least three counties.

If he doesn't comply, he won't want the seven southwestern counties captured by our army. Our army can take over the land of the Central Plains occupied by the defense and defense of the country in its entirety, with the current national strength of the Xian country, although it is a little difficult to add more than ten counties, but it is a big deal to tighten the belt of the country for another five years, and after five years, the new county will ease up, and our country's strength will increase by more than three times, and the eldest grandson and the Jin country will be leveled within 20 years.

If the Jin State dares to take the opportunity to send troops to attack me, it is a big deal that the Central Plains will not be needed, and the minister will immediately return to the mainland and kill the Jin State. The destruction of its country and its ancestral temple is a shame. After July, Yongxing City will have a large number of new weapons produced, the king can adjust the forbidden army drills, as long as the capital is held, defend all places, even if the Jin army is in the city, the minister will lead the troops to rush back to Xianguo within 40 days. At that time, the main force of the Jin army will be destroyed in the same way. ”

"That's good, Ai Qing will discuss this matter with Lu Qing and Zhao Qing, and tomorrow morning the court will be played in court!"

"No!"
