The surprise attack of the Qin army, not only did not prevent the holding of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but also because of the successful annihilation of the Qin army's assault army, so it greatly boosted the morale of the three kingdoms. At the same time, Qi and Chu also fully agreed with Gao Yuan as the commander of the joint column and commanded the joint column army to fight.

The plateau also took advantage of this opportunity to converge the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu and put forward their own plan to attack Qin, changing the previous way of gathering troops from various countries and then attacking Qin, but using the tactics of dividing and attacking together, and the three kingdoms launched attacks on Qin from the north and southeast respectively.

Although the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu have already learned the unpredictable way of using troops on the plateau, and believe in the ability of the plateau to use troops, but after listening to the plan formulated by the plateau to attack Qin, they were still greatly surprised, this plateau is too bold, because the previous countries have used the tactics of unified troops, and the benefits of this model are also obvious, that is, with overwhelming superiority of troops, put on a dignified formation, launch an attack on the Qin State, or defeat the Qin army on the battlefield, or use strong military might to force the Qin army to make concessions to save peace, so as long as there is no division and internal strife within the alliance, there will be basically no defeat.

And this has also produced a fixed thinking in the minds of the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu, believing that Hezong should be this model. Therefore, without warning, Gao Yuan denied the previous mode of joining forces and verticals, and threw out the tactics of attacking Qin in a split attack, which was indeed something that the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu had not thought of at all, if it were not for this tactic proposed by Gao Yuan, I am afraid that some people would have complained that this simple value is nonsense.

The king of Chu was the first to say; "King Han, how can this be done, all the countries have joined forces first, and then launched an attack on the Qin army, Su Qin and Xinling Jun are like this, so there is a reason to divide the troops to attack, so what is it called? Each of our three kingdoms has its own fight. ”

Tian Kezang also said: "Yes, and from the perspective of using troops, if the three kingdoms attack separately, wouldn't it cause our forces to be scattered, but let the Qin State break them one by one?" ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "[Sun Xiao's Art of War] cloud: soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, the way of using soldiers, and then it is improvised and adaptable, according to the situation, in the past, all countries combined forces to attack Qin, and then attacked Qin, but at that time, Qin was located in the Western Regions, with Hangu Pass as the way out of the east, and the army could use Zhao, Han and Wei as the base, and approach Hangu Pass, you can block Qin in the pass, and you can't go east. But now the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han and Wei were all destroyed by the Qin State, and the Central Plains region has been owned by the Qin State, the transportation is convenient, extending in all directions, and there is no blockage. ”

The King of Chu frowned, and said: "The words of the King of Han are inevitably a bit exaggerated, although the Central Plains region has convenient transportation and extends in all directions, but I have a large army and a wide range of generals, what can the Qin State do to me?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "King of Chu, the words of the widow are by no means an exaggeration, if I am the prince of Qin, in the face of the combined vertical army, I will divide the troops into two ways, one way to garrison Daliang, resist our combined army, and the other way to take advantage of the gap to attack the Han and Chu countries in the north and south, at that time, the elite men and horses of the Han and Chu countries have joined the joint column, and they are gathered under the city of Daliang, and the country is empty, and it will inevitably be unable to resist the Qin army, so they can only withdraw from the joint column army to help, and the joint column will not attack itself. Han and Chu two armies withdrew, only the Qi country is left alone, will be defeated by the Qin army, although the Han and Chu countries returned to the country, but the long distance, day and night, rushed back to the country is exhausted, the Qin army is just waiting for work, can break the two countries' soldiers, such a war, but also can break the three kingdoms of the army, the world is no longer able to fight with the Qin State. ”

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu also looked at each other, speechless, in fact, Gao Yuan still exaggerated the role of the Qin State in adopting the Great Liang to refuse to defend the Hezhong army, even if the Qin State was stationed in Daliang, it was definitely the main army, because the scale of Daliang City was huge, and at least more than 200,000 troops were needed to hold it, and the Hezong Army really joined forces to attack the Qin army, and the strength of the Hezong Army was naturally extremely large, and the 200,000 Qin troops stationed in Daliang may not be able to hold it, at least 300,000 troops are needed. Moreover, it is necessary to prepare a considerable reserve army in case of loss, so that the Qin State may not have enough troops to attack the Han and Chu countries, after all, the Han and Chu countries still leave a certain army in the country, plus it is a battle to defend the territory, and the Qin army may not be able to attack the Han and Chu countries lightly.

However, the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu could not calculate these details, so they just felt that what Gao Yuan said was indeed reasonable, and it was difficult to refute it.

Tian Kezang said: "The King of Han is proficient in the art of war and uses soldiers like a god, so he can naturally think of such a clever plan to deal with our army, but no one in the Qin State may think of this plan to resist our army." ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "An Pingjun can't help but underestimate the Qin State too much, now the Qin State is full of civil and military affairs, how can there be no one?" What's more, before the widow came to Taoyi, he inquired and learned that Qin had accumulated grain and grass materials in Daliang, and Qin Wangzheng sent the Grand Duke to Fusu to personally rush to Daliang to inspect the overseers. ”

After a long while, Xiang Dong said: "King Han, if the Qin State responds like this, then the troops stationed in Daliang will be insufficient, but our Hezhong army can first concentrate our forces and go all out to conquer Daliang, as long as we conquer Daliang, we can drive in and take Hangu Pass directly, even if the Qin State divides troops to attack Han and Chu, then it will return to the army to garrison Hangu Pass, then the danger of the two countries can naturally be solved." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Doctor Xiang's words, Guan Jian lies in our Three Kingdoms Combined Column Army to capture Daliang in a short period of time, but the Liang City is thick and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, two years ago the Qin army of 500,000, strong attack on Daliang, several months of difficulty, dismantling more than 100,000 troops, until later digging the Yellow River water irrigation, only to conquer Daliang, and even if our Three Kingdoms Combined Column Army can conquer Daliang, it will never take less than three months, in addition to conquering Daliang, the casualties of the Three Kingdoms Combined Column Army will never be less than the Qin army of the year, and then there is no ability to drive in. It is unknown whether it is possible to take the Hangu Pass directly. ”

Xiang Dong smiled bitterly and said, "The King of Han is reasonable, is it so difficult that only according to the plan of the King of Han can he defeat the Qin army?" ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Naturally. ”

At this time, the king of Chu said: "But according to the plan of the king of Han, our three kingdoms are scattered forces, isn't the king of Han afraid of being defeated by the Qin army one by one?" ”

In fact, there is another important reason why Qi and Chu oppose the tactics of the plateau division and joint attack, that is, the three kingdoms are divided and attacked, and the Han army is naturally not afraid of the Qin army, but the two countries of Qi and Chu have no confidence to face the Qin army alone, although it is publicized that the total annihilation of the Qin state's assault army this time is the result of the joint efforts of the three countries, but the monarchs and ministers of the two countries of Qi and Chu all know that if there is no army of Qi and Chu, the Han army can still defeat the Qin army; And without the Han army, it would be impossible for the armies of Qi and Chu to defeat the Qin army. This time, the two countries of Qi and Chu tried their best to promote the alliance, hoping to defeat the Qin State with the help of the strength of the Han army, so let the two countries attack the Qin State alone, and the two countries really did not have the courage.

Gao Yuan naturally knew this mentality of Qi and Chu, so he said: "The worries of the king of Chu are not unreasonable, but although my plan is that the three kingdoms divide their troops to attack Qin, it is not from the beginning that the three kingdoms will march separately, but Han and Chu will first send a small number of troops to converge with the Qi army, but a large number of elite troops will stay in the country, and after the joint army, we will send troops from Taose to the west, attack Daliang, and make a big noise, so that Qin will create an impression of the three kingdoms attacking Daliang, so that Qin will gather the army in Daliang, Hold out, and then the armies of Han and Chu will attack separately in the country, Chu will enter Nanyang, Han will enter Handan, and the north and south will attack Qin. ”

After a pause, Gao Yuan said: "If it is difficult for Chu to send troops, you can also press the troops first, and our Han State will send troops first, and the widow can guarantee that it will be less than February, and more than March, our Han army will be able to capture Handan, and then Qin will mobilize troops to rescue Handan, so that Nanyang and Daliang will inevitably be empty, and Chu will take advantage of the weakness to send troops to enter Nanyang, and Qi can also wait for the opportunity to move, or garrison in situ, or attack Daliang, and Qin will inevitably take care of one and the other, and it is difficult to take care of the beginning and the end, and it is expected to defeat the Qin army, We, the Three Kingdoms of Han, Qi and Chu, can take all the land of the Three Jin Dynasty and drive the Qin State back to Hangu Pass. Since then, the world has been divided into east, west, north and south, and the four countries have stood side by side. ”

After Gao Yuan finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, because after listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, everyone admitted that the tactics of Gao Yuan's division and integration were indeed much more clever than the traditional joint and vertical troops, but it was still difficult for everyone to accept the construction of the plateau, first, it was difficult to change the traditional thinking; The second is that his self-confidence is insufficient, so he was silent for a while, and then the king of Chu said: "We all know about the proposal of the king of Han, but this matter is very important, and we need to discuss it again and make a decision." ”

Gao Yuan also knew that it was impossible for the two countries of Qi and Chu to accept their plan immediately, they did not refuse, it was a good result, so they also nodded, and said: "The words of the King of Chu are reasonable, the two countries of Qi and Chu really need to discuss it well, since this is the case, then we will discuss here today, and after two days, we will continue to discuss, what does the King of Chu and King Qi think?" ”

Qi Wangjian and Chu Wang Cheng naturally nodded yes, so everyone dispersed, and Gao Yuan and Chu Wang Cheng each returned to their own manor.

On the way back, Chun Yu Zhongxiu said: "Does the husband think that the two countries of Qi and Chu will agree to the construction of the husband?" ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "Of course it will, because just now I have already explained the outcome of the joint army to attack Qin very clearly, so they should all understand very well that it is impossible for the joint army to attack Qin successfully, so they can only choose my plan." ”
