After Gu Yanxi woke up, the sun was already high, and this sleep made him feel refreshed. It seemed that he had not slept so peacefully for a long time.Is it because they lived in the "Guangbo Palace"?

Walking out of the palace, he stretched himself facing the sun. He felt the sun seep into his skin, making every pore warm.

At this time, Li Fu, the chief eunuch, reported that King Xi had called him to the military and political academy for discussion.

Gu Yanxi nodded, but did not leave immediately.Instead, he turned around and leaned on the reclining chair in the small courtyard, continuing to bask in the sun in a more comfortable posture.

Seeing this, Li Fu immediately fell into a predicament, and stood aside in embarrassment, neither urging him nor not urging him.The more leisurely and comfortable the other party was, the more tormented he was in his heart, but his face remained calm, his eyebrows were soft and his eyes were still gentle and submissive.

Gu Yanxi squinted her eyes lazily, glanced at Li Fu inadvertently from the corner of her eyes, and already had a good opinion of this person from the bottom of her heart.Just when Li Fu thought that Gu Yanxi had fallen asleep, he suddenly yawned, stood up unhurriedly, adjusted his appearance, and said with a smile, "Please Eunuch Li lead the way."

There was no trace of impatience or boredom on Li Fu's face, he smiled kindly: "So, my lord, please."

When Gu Yanxi pushed open the door of the meeting room, the discussion inside was in full swing.

He walked to the side of the square table calmly, not feeling that his abruptness had spoiled the atmosphere of the whole meeting, nor did he care about the strong hostility coming from all directions at the moment.

The expression on Li Muge's face remained the same, after glancing at Gu Yanxi, he said in a deep voice, "Continue."

Gu Yanxi looked at the marching map filled with chess and thought, it seems that Li Muge really doesn't want to delay for a moment.

It's just that the terrain of Jin State is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the domestic regime is in turmoil, the local military equipment is indestructible.Moreover, due to the stupidity of the superiors in the past few years, many famous generals have been demoted to the border, which has made their national defense extremely strong.It was a blessing in disguise.

Therefore, it is not easy for the country of Xi, which has just gone through the chaos of war and is now going to take the initiative to go to war.

The generals present also saw the pros and cons clearly, so the field was temporarily divided into two factions: one faction advocated peace, believing that Xi's army should temporarily recuperate and recover its strength; Wang, you should take advantage of the victory to pursue and make a bet.

However, in war, there is no room for delaying the opportunity, and there is no room for reckless gambling, otherwise the victory will be tragic, and the defeat will be fatal.

Is it a thousand-year hegemony, or is it a failure?This battle is crucial.

Li Muge knew the pros and cons of it very well, so he just listened to the debate between the two factions calmly, neither supported nor refuted, just rested his index finger on the edge of the table, and tapped repeatedly slowly and rhythmically.

At this time, various voices in the room were mixed, including heated discussions, rapid breathing, and the friction of tables and chairs... But only those calm fingertips could hit Gu Yanxi's eardrum one after another.

And when he stopped tapping, Gu Yanxi smiled knowingly from the bottom of his heart, knowing that he had already made up his mind.

It's just this decision, he is considering who to say it for him.Today, he is well versed in the art of the emperor.

Today, Luo Qiuli is not around, it seems that the role of "cannon fodder" can only fall on his own head.Who let his handle be firmly held in his hands?Helping him now is helping yourself!

With a sigh in his heart, he approached the map at the same time, ignoring the astonished eyes around him, he pulled up all the flags on the map with jade-like fingers, and finally planted only one flag in a border town on the west side of Jin State , the name of the town is: Ganping.

Seeing this, everyone frowned, only Li Muge's lips slightly tilted up almost invisible, it seems that their tacit understanding is still as good as ever.

At this time, a general was full of sarcasm, and roared at Gu Yanxi fiercely: "My lord, we know that our country is in the east of Jin State, and the Ganping you just marked is in the west of Jin State. Originally, this attack on Jin State was a battle." Tough battles, you still look for distances, and take a detour, you know that 'traveling long distances, people are exhausted' is a big taboo for military strategists? The Qin army's attack on Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Red Cliff War in the Three Kingdoms are all lessons from the past."

When Gu Yanxi heard this, she was not annoyed, but showed a rare smile instead.This smile made all the people present look stunned and breathless, even the angry general just now turned pale.

Only Li Muge's face darkened, and he was very dissatisfied with Gu Yanxi's "showing off her beauty" in front of everyone.Is his appearance and color so mediocre?Looks like he's going to consider getting him a mask.

Gu Yanxi smiled like a spring breeze, and said in a clear way: "Soldiers are brave, so we must recharge our energy to be strong and strong; soldiers are strategists, so we must seek advantages and avoid disadvantages; Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles; therefore, no matter from the above aspects, it is unwise for the Xi Kingdom to choose to attack Qianping. But..." He changed the subject, and the smile in his eyes quickly disappeared, and two sharp rays of light came from the dark eyes. The pupils shot out, and the pride was beyond doubt: "But I only think that soldiers are deceitful."

"Therefore, if you can show what you can't do, use it to show you don't need it, use it to show it's far away, and use it to show it's far away, and use it to show it's near. Benefits can lure it, chaos can take it, reality can prepare it, force it to avoid it, and anger can scratch it. He is humble and arrogant, he is lost and tired, he is separated from his relatives, he attacks his unpreparedness, and surprises him. The victory of this strategist cannot be passed on first."

Without waiting for others to refute, he continued: "Although Qianping is far away from Xi State, it is also far away from the capital of Jin State. Most of the surrounding areas are weak and small barbarians who cannot become powerful. Therefore, it has the weakest defense among the many border towns of Jin State. Commonly speaking, the state of Jin would never have imagined that we would go so far as to attack Qianping.”

At this time, another general worried: "But we can't ignore the problem of lack of men and horses for the sake of surprise. I am afraid that we will be defeated before the war begins. After all, this expedition will have to cross mountains and mountains. The road is quite difficult. rugged."

When other people heard the words, they immediately echoed. Some people cast expectant glances at Gu Yanxi, and some sent undisguised contempt. Li Muge remained expressionless, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger, but he never refuted a single word .

"The south of Qianping is the territory of Miaojiang. There is a river in Miaojiang called Daxi River, and it was called Xiangshui before it entered Miaojiang. It just flows through the north of Xi State. If our army can take advantage of it, at least we can Half of the journey and time will be saved. At that time, there will be no need to cross mountains and ridges, and the fatigue of boats and vehicles will be reduced. At the same time, you can march in a low-key way to surprise."

"Is there any evidence for the military division's statement? There is no unified map for the wars of all countries. Can this river really reach the Miaodi?" Although the Minister of the Ministry of War is happy in his heart, he still needs to verify it carefully. If this is true, then this battle is feasible.

Gu Yanxi smiled lightly, and said affirmatively: "I used to walk along this river from Miaojiang to Xiguo. If Master Shangshu has doubts, you can send someone to check it out. This river is to the west of Yunping Mountain outside Yucheng City.

Minister of the Ministry of War nodded and said: "I will send people there, I hope it will be as the military adviser said."

At this time, General Hussars questioned: "Although the distance has been greatly shortened, it is still a waterway after all. No matter how unexpected it is, it can't erase the weakness of waiting for work. This battle is still very dangerous. And as far as I know Jin Jin The national general He Cheng is stationed here, this man has always had the courage to be a man in charge."

Gu Yanxi sneered, and said contemptuously: "A reckless man, how can you say he is brave? It is precisely because He Cheng is stationed here that we are sure to win, or we can say that the war is bloodless." The end of his eyes swept the surprised eyes of everyone, He said with confidence: "Although He Cheng is brave and good at fighting, he is only brave. And he has a character trait that is absolutely beneficial to us-discrimination against barbarians. Since he was demoted to this place, he has been burning, killing and looting the surrounding barbarians. There is a lot of grudges. It is also heard that he recently kidnapped the daughter of King Miaojiang, which further intensified the conflict. However, all ethnic groups are afraid of his bravery, so they dare not speak out."

"So we just need to encourage the barbarians to attack the city, and then reap the benefits of the fishermen when both losers?" Lu Dacheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, said at this time, looking at Gu Yanxi with admiration in his eyes.

Gu Yanxi nodded and said: "That's right." Then a trace of tenacity rose on his lips: "I never fight an invincible battle. If I attack, I will definitely hit it."

Although there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, there was a murderous look in his eyes.In his eyes, Qianping seems to have become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and he can no longer escape the fate of being hunted into the bag.

This kind of absolute self-confidence penetrated into the bones and blood, so that everyone present has begun to believe that the absolute victory of this war has no reason; this kind of natural leadership makes everyone present silently silent without any refutation.

At this time, only his clear and comfortable voice could be heard in the arena, and the words hit people's hearts directly: "After all, the strength of the barbarians is limited. At that time, our army will send out some elite troops to help them attack the city; and here, He decisively pointed to an open space outside Qianping City on the map, and said: "There is an undercurrent flowing in here, through which we can transport fine works into the city. It will incite the hearts of the people in the city and disrupt the order in the city. In this way, it will be easy to break the city with no bloodshed. "

"In addition, there is a flat plain between Qianping and Jinyang, the capital of Jin. Once Qianping is broken, the army can go deep into the hinterland of Jin, and the road is unimpeded. After that, you only need to attack the four cities of Luochuan, Yingzhou, Yunting, and Yanshui. , you can go straight to Huanglong and take over Jinyang." With a light flick of his fingertips, he passed Qianping and headed north.Everyone's eyes followed his jade-colored fingers to gallop freely on the map, as if the heroic cavalry had already traveled thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the eternal dominance was just around the corner.

Even in the past many years, the generation of military gods still deserves their reputation-the battlefield is like a chess game.

While talking and laughing, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are played in the palm of the hand.

Be in the game, put your mind on the outside.There are many famous generals in the world, but how many of them can do so freely?

He is indeed too dangerous.And now he is even more dangerous... Li Muge's heart rang alarm bells frequently, but a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The strategist's strategy is very wonderful, and it has convinced me and the generals here. Therefore, this battle Wang Fan asked the military commander to personally oversee the army to go into battle, and make the first battle for our country's eternal supremacy!"

After hearing the words, Gu Yanxi changed her previous "arrogance", and solemnly said to Li Muge with both hands in her arms: "So An, I will live up to King Xi's entrustment and return in triumph."

Li Muge stepped down from the commander-in-chief seat, patted him on the shoulder with great respect and said: "This king sits in the middle of the country, and when your army approaches Jinyang, he will send troops to help you. If you attack from both sides, you will surely perish the Great Jin!"

The generals and officials around were excited when they heard the words, and they seemed to have seen the prosperous scene of the state of Xi incorporating the land of the state of Jin into its territory.The original doubts about Gu Yanxi in my heart were instantly transformed into full confidence and admiration, and at the same time, I worshiped the new king's ability to know people like a god.

At this moment, everyone had the same premonition in their hearts: Xi Kingdom, where the phoenix was nirvana, is different from the past.

Gu Yanxi looked indifferently at Li Muge who had "high hopes" for him, and a sneer slowly appeared in his clear pupils: I didn't expect that you and I would join hands in the world one day, but we are destined not to join hands in the world that has been conquered. sit together.

Li Muge looked at Gu Yanxi, who was "respectful and courteous" to him, with eyes full of respect, and there was a half-smile in his dark eyes: Yanxi, I never thought that one day you would become my "minister of the humerus", and accompany me to create an eternity overlord.

The corners of his lips could not help but rise, but his eyes darkened instantly: But at this moment, this situation, if it is true, how wonderful it would be... The expressions of the two met, and they both had their own concerns.But in the eyes of others, it's just another story of a good ruler and a good minister through the ages.

After the meeting, all the generals and officials withdrew from their tents.

Gu Yanxi was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Muge: "Since the military master also lives in the palace, why don't you wait for me to go back together?"

A sentence he threw out seemingly unintentionally exploded in the ears of all the courtiers in an instant, but after all, everyone has been an official for many years, no matter how shocked, suspicious, gossip... they will never show it on their faces, and they still follow the steps Exit sequentially.

But these words were deeply engraved in their minds, reminding them that the relationship between this military adviser and their master is extraordinary.And those generals who had "spoken rudely" just now are now sweating and restless.

Sapphire and Shui Furong, who were mixed in the team, were sweating profusely——I said, lord, can you keep a low profile on your relationship and stop saying things that make people think?Why!

Gu Yanxi stopped in her tracks, turned her head and smiled, this smile was like a spring breeze blowing away the bleakness of late autumn in an instant.

He said, "Okay."

Maybe it was because he was surprised that he was not rejected this time, or maybe it was because the spring breeze was the most intoxicating.Li Muge was slightly taken aback, and forgot how to speak.

Sapphire and Shui Furong, who saw all this in their eyes, raised their foreheads one after another. It seems that Prime Minister Luo's worries were really not groundless.

At this time, Luo Qiuli was staring at the dead branches and fallen leaves in the garden in a daze, moaning and sighing continuously.
