A great scholar who wants to carry forward his theory in a country, but if the monarch does not support him, he will be unable to move forward.

Qu Li had no choice but to leave Qin in disgrace.

However, the queen had a little trouble with Xiao Yuan because of this.

Because Lu Yunyan pays great attention to moral etiquette.

Xiao Yuan was too lazy to continue arguing with her. The couple was so angry that they were angry. Anyway, he was so busy that he didn't have much time to accompany the girls recently.

If this was a prosperous era, Xiao Yuan would be happy to invite Qu Li to come, but this was a chaotic era. It would be useless to talk about military and political affairs without talking about any friendship there.

Ruling the country according to law is the foundation of a country's strength. This matter is related to national policy. Of course, Xiao Yuan could not be shaken by a famous scholar.

This matter was left unresolved.

On this day, Zhengde Hall.

In the hall, the magnificent sand table depicts mountains, rivers, and important roads of the city.

Military generals and strategists are arranged on both sides.

Xiao Yuan was straightforward and directly raised the issue of the fact that the southern expedition could not be delayed again. He sent troops and made the final pre-war analysis.

As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. Now the Qin army has been secretly transported to Shanyuguan, just waiting for the mobilization of troops.

Su Yi drew an arc on the sand table with his fingers and said first: "If our army leaves the pass, I suggest that we use the main army to advance from the Hekou Plain to the border of Chu."

"The Chu infantry and military infantry are not as good as our army in the land. They will not dare to fight our army on the plains. They will most likely hide in Zaocheng, and after Zaocheng, they will be in Xiangyang."

"As long as Zaocheng is broken, our army can look at Xiangyang and cause Wu and Chu to shake."

This is obviously a point that touches a point and moves the whole body, and Xiangyang is the key point.

There is nothing surprising about this plan, it is just a strategic advancement and deployment, but the current route is also the best.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he had no objection. After nodding, he quickly made a decision.

"Assing the order, the first and second infantry troops were ordered to be transferred, with Su Yi as the commander, and as the main force of the vanguard of the Southern Expedition, to break through Zaocheng!"

"Get orders!" Su Yi clasped his fists.

If it comes to the commander of the infantry army, who else can be left?

After deciding to advance the vanguard, Xiao Yuan said again: "In this southern expedition, we should adopt the strategy of General Yan Qi, and take the initiative to attack the west, aiming to Jiangling, but the offensive against Xiangyang must affect the entire Wu and Chu troops. Therefore, after Su Yi's troops opened up the situation, other units of our army will come out one after another and expand the Xiangyang front..."

After this congression ended, a war had been decided.

It is inevitable that the Qin army will move south, otherwise the situation in the world will be difficult to break, and this day will come sooner or later.

A few days later, Su Yi ordered his troops and led 200,000 troops to take the lead in leaving the pass.

Along the way, flags fluttered, long halberds stood, black armor and red tassels were endless, and the sound of armor rubbing when the soldiers walked.

Su Yi was riding a war horse, holding a military map in his hand, and was watching it seriously.

Soon, Goldman Sachs hit the horse lightly and came over and said with a shy smile: "Shuai Su, I guess you have already made plans for how to easily take Zaocheng?"

"No." Su Yi glanced at him and said directly: "The road to the southern expedition is flat. Once you pass Xiangyang, it is the Yangtze River and cannot be used as a surprise weapon."

"That……"

"Zaocheng can only attack for a strong force, but this city is not a place to defend. The Chu army also understands this. I think they will not invest a large amount of troops there." Su Yi said: "If the King of Chu regards Hanzhou as the commander and with his combat philosophy, it will probably make the Zaocheng defenders delay time and delay our army's pace as much as possible in order to seek the defense of Xiangyang."

Speaking of this, he also raised his head, looked around, and shouted loudly: "Wei Qing! Wei Qing!"

"Ah? The last one is here!" After hearing this, the latter hurriedly rode his horse over.

Su Yi asked him to get closer, then pointed to a place on the map, "Take your cavalry to Hanjiagou first."

"Ah? Su Shuai, why are you going there?" Wei Qing was puzzled.

"If you see a small group of Chu army troops, whether they are escorting food and supplies, or exploring the battlefield, you will all sweep away." Su Yi said.

"Yes!" Wei Qing stopped talking and took the order and left.

"Ning Zhan! Ning Zhan!"

He started shouting again.

The latter also arrived in a hurry and immediately clasped his fists: "Su Shuai."

"Let your troops cross the mouth of the river first!"

"promise!"

"General Lin Chu!"

"Ship Su."

"The incident of our army's southern expedition is now carefully done by Chu State. The news must have been sent back. After crossing the river estuary, you will ask someone to check Wuzhong Mountain. If there is an ambush, you will report it immediately."

"promise!"

"Xu Rong! Xu Rong!"

"Ship Su..."

On the way to the march, Su Yi issued military orders one after another.

Goldman Sachs was stunned by the sight, swallowed hard, and smiled and said with a smile on his face: "Shuai Su, how can we mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops in an orderly manner, with more advances and retreats, and with appropriate measures, please teach me..."

At the same time, the Chu State court.

The Qin army was dispatched from the Qinzhou camp and left Shanyuguan. Of course, the movements of such a large scale cannot be concealed in detail.

Upon hearing this news, the ministers of Chu were in a panic and whispered together, and they were inevitably a little panic.

The King of Chu frowned and threw the bamboo slips in his hand to the king's desk in displeasure.

All the ministers were silent.

The Prime Minister of Chu stood up and bowed and said, "The king, the heart of a tyrannical tiger and wolf in the world is known to everyone. Now the King of Qin regards Su Yi as the commander, and his troops are directed directly to the land of Chu. He clearly intends to spy on the south of the Yangtze River. With the view of his ministers, he should immediately join forces with the King of Wu to resist the powerful enemy together."

"The King of Wu must have known this matter, and also knows the truth that the lips and teeth are cold. It is inevitable that the Wu army will send troops to help." The King of Chu said: "Now the King of Qin attacks me, what I want is how to resist the enemy."

As he spoke, he also subconsciously looked at Hanzhou.

Seeing this, the latter immediately stood up and said, "I heard that those who are good at attacking do not know where to defend, and those who are good at defending do not know where to attack, so they can protect themselves and win. Now the way to advance to Qin seems to be very popular, and they want to sweep the land of Chu, but in fact, their intention must be in Xiangyang!"

"Because Xiangyang is so important, Su Yi must fight for the control of the throats of the north and south. Therefore, we don't have to worry about other trends of the Qin army. We just need to defend Xiangyang, and the Chu territory will be worry-free."

"If the Qin army advances into Chu from the Hekou Plain, our army cannot compete with it. We should temporarily avoid the edge, so that the gains and losses of Zaocheng will delay the enemy's pace in order to achieve the strategic defense goals of Xiangyang."

After all, he is still a famous general of a generation, and he has fought many battles of all sizes, so he still has this military vision.

He already understood what he meant. It was not important to lose other small places. If all the heavy troops were placed in Xiangyang and defended here, the Qin army would not be able to cross the river.
