Civilian officials have always been about seeking stability gradually, while military generals are advocating forging ahead, which is the different ideas brought about by different responsibilities.
There is nothing better for the civil servants who run the place than not to do something wrong.
They may be radical or get political achievements, but radicality also means risk-taking, once they make mistakes, it will affect their careers, most civil officials adhere to the concept of not doing good and doing more wrong, and prefer to rely on seniority to rise step by step.
Military generals are different, they pay attention to the offensive posture, and in the face of the military, there is no saying that they seek victory in stability, and any war means taking risks.
In this way, the generals must be more adventurous, and they prefer to take the initiative rather than passively accept the outcome.
Liu Yan's own willingness was more inclined to send troops to Yecheng or Xiangguo, and he was slightly shaken by the three core civil officials.
That's what Ji Chang and the others said, the situation of attrition and confrontation is beneficial to the Han State on the Puyang battlefield, so why take the risk when it is obviously beneficial to your own side From the point of view of the general trend of the whole world, the stalemate on the Puyang battlefield for too long is not a good thing for the Han State.
At present, the Han State and the Murong Yan Kingdom are rushing for time, once the Han army is not able to recover the Central Plains quickly, the Murong Yan Kingdom will definitely go south after solving the trouble.
Even if the Han army can achieve a big victory on the Puyang battlefield, Murong Yanguo will not care about any allies or non-allies, and will inevitably make a move against Youzhou and even Jizhou in the collapsing Shijie Zhao State.
At that time, the possibility is that it is difficult for the Han army to move north because it needs to rest or other reasons, whether it is to watch Murong Yanguo easily capture Youzhou and then enter Jizhou Ji Chang, Sang Yu, and Cai You must have thought about similar problems, and they are still inclined to maintain stability, probably because they feel that there is no proper strategy.
Sure enough, I heard Ji Chang say: "The Han Dynasty has been in the new standing, there have been many major wars and have made a reputation, but there is no war that can make the world look sideways.
The confrontation between countries lies in the spirit of the heart, and if there is the spirit of the heart, it can be invincible.
The Battle of Puyang will be a war that will determine the fortunes of the country, and it is precisely because of this that Shijie should be defeated in a dignified manner, so that the heroes of the world will know the military power of the Han Dynasty. ” Sang Yu nodded in approval and said, "The Qi clan can rule the Central Plains by relying on prestige.
Mobilizing the enemy may be able to defeat the Shijie army in a mobile war, but it also increases the likelihood that they will escape."
Huan Wen eagerly explained: "It can be intercepted in Qingshui and Qishui", but was cut off by Sang Yu before he finished speaking.
"Dahan has not explored those water systems, how do you know if it can let the warships pass unimpeded" Sang Yu is not aimed at Huan Wen, he is aiming at a strategic adjustment that may lead to mistakes: "At present, what Dahan should do is to continue to arrange, clean up the perimeter of the Puyang battlefield, and suddenly tighten his pockets during the decisive battle to surround Shihu's main force in one fell swoop." ” "Your Majesty."
Ji Chang said to Liu Yan very deeply: "As long as you can encircle the main force of Shijie, it is necessary to be able to annihilate it, even if you pay a big price. ” Liu Yan somewhat understands that what the core civilian officials want is the prestige of the country, and they don't just look at the victory or defeat of a war or how much they lose.
Ran Min and Huan Wen looked at each other, they probably didn't guess that they would encounter so much resistance, it seemed that Liu Yan was still persuaded by the civil officials, and couldn't help but be disappointed.
Later, Liu Yan still did not officially express his position, chatting about some other things, and Wang Yan's civil and military forces retired one after another.
"Jingluo."
Liu Yan closed his eyes for a long time, and when he opened them again, he looked at Wang Meng, who was quietly kneeling in the corner waiting for the summons, and asked, "You listened to the whole process, do you have any ideas?"
Wang Meng saluted and said: "Back to my king, the minister thinks that what the prime minister and the internal history of the ruling Su said are a prudent policy. ” The topic and idea were first proposed by Liu Yan, and Wang Meng's answer was risky.
Wang Meng didn't want to be blamed or complained about without saying what he really thought, he saw that Liu Yan didn't show a displeased expression, and continued: "The Han Dynasty is better than Shijie in terms of national strength.
Shi Hu had the idea of armistice and then preparing for war, which shows that the more stalemate the battle situation, the more beneficial it is to the Han Dynasty. ” Liu Yan was not sure to solve Shijie Zhao Guo before Murong Yanguo solved his troubles, so he mentioned it a little.
Wang Meng said: "Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and Murong Xianbei lives there all the year round.
The Han army came from all over the world, and most of them were not tolerant of cold.
If it is really possible for Murong Xianbei to betray the alliance and attack Youzhou and advance into Jizhou, the Han and the Yan army will fight in Jizhou or Youzhou, will it be more beneficial to the Han?"
Maybe Ji Chang, Sang Yu, and Cai You have similar ideas, but Liu Yan didn't take the climate of the location into account.
Liu Yan was born in modern times, when keeping warm was part of daily life.
Now it's different, and we really have to think about the soldiers' ability to withstand cold.
That night, the whole army camped, and Ran Min and Huan Wen were invited to see Ji Chang.
Ji Chang prepared a tea banquet early as if he knew that Ran Min and Huan Wen would come.
"Prime Minister."
Huan Wen's mind was not on the banquet at all, and he immediately introduced the topic without chatting a few words of gossip: "The enemy of the Han Dynasty is not only Shijie, it can be quickly resolved, so that it can deal with the rest of the country." ” Ran Min put down the teacup and looked at Ji Chang squarely.
"Naturally, there is more than one country."
Ji Chang didn't have much to worry about, he only said: "It is precisely because there is more than one enemy that we should be more steady." ” Huan Wen did not give up and persuaded: "The current is a world of great contention, and the nations have a strong desire to strive for progress, and they are all grabbing time.
Time is also of the essence to Dahan. ” "Historically, only the weaker side would choose to take risks when forced to do so.
It was Zhao Jun who should take the risk, and Dahan had no reason to take the risk.
Ji Chang was unmoved, glanced at Huan Wen seriously, looked at Ran Min from behind, and said, "Shijie is the overlord of the Central Plains, and he should not be underestimated. ” Ran Min very much agrees with this, and none of them can become overlords by accident, but he still feels that breaking into Yecheng or Xiangguo will completely change the direction of the war.
"Now it's mine."
Ji Chang had a little warning and said: "Dahan is a country that has risen from danger, and has developed into a great country that can be regarded as a dignified and upright country.
The Han Dynasty needs to make a momentum in the contest with Shijie, and defeat Shijie or even annihilate it with a dignified and upright attitude, so that the countries cannot think that the Han has won a fluke in this battle of national fortune.
Do you understand?"
Ran Min and Huan Wen began to be silent.
The two of them really hadn't thought about similar problems before, one wanted to destroy Shijie Zhao Guo quickly by any means, and the other wanted to highlight their abilities.

Ji Chang's eyes were sharp and constantly scanned Ran Min and Huan Wen, and he said sonorously: "The Han needs a great power."
Now that Ji Chang has said it so clearly, both in words and on his face with a clear warning, if Ran Min and Huan Wen don't want to offend Ji Chang to death, they should shut up.
Three days later, Wang Yin arrived in Fan County.
Fan County is close to 200 miles from Puyang City from the plane map, and 60 miles away from Liqiu.
The main battlefield of the Battle of Puyang is in the middle of Puyang City and White Horse City, but the two sides are not only fighting there, the scope of the battlefield is within a radius of two or three hundred miles centered on Puyang City, so Fan County can also be regarded as at the forefront of the battlefield.
After arriving in Fan County, Ran Min and other generals successively bid farewell to Liu Yan and went to various battlefields, Sang Yu turned south to Yuzhou, Cai You needed to rush to Xuzhou, and Lu Yi wanted to go to the Shouchun battlefield.
With Ran Min arriving at the front line, Xu Zheng led the troops to escort a group of wounded soldiers to Fan County.
The battle of Puyang has taken more than half a year, and the two sides have been fighting large and small battles almost every day and night, and each other's losses are not low.
"Miserable."
Xu Zheng was interviewed, and the two met in the camp in the military tent.
He showed a state of exhaustion without special rest and freshness: "Before the minister came, the second battle of Weicheng was over, and the wounded soldiers escorted were slightly injured in the battle of Weicheng, and the serious injuries could only stay in Puyang City." ” In fact, the medical conditions on the Han army's side are definitely the best in the world, unless they are really incurable or disabled, otherwise the number of deaths due to injuries is not too serious.
In the rest of the countries, medical care was almost non-existent, and wounded soldiers could not be effectively treated, and many of them would die due to blood loss, pus from wounds, fever, etc.
"The Zhao army has gradually become crazy recently, the frequency of the Dragon Teng Guards and the Gaoli army has been increasing, and the casualty ratio of the two armies has begun to show an unfavorable trend for our side."
Xu Zheng smiled bitterly, and said: "The second battle of Weicheng was commanded by the minister, and I saw with my own eyes that the enemy's Longteng guards charged in formation with armored cavalry and mounted foot soldiers, and they actually broke through our army's shield formation. ” The Han army's shield array and sharp bow and crossbow arrow array have always been a killer weapon in the battle, and there was no example of a forced breakthrough in the past.
"Fortunately, it was the heavily equipped swordsman who went up and resisted it with heavy casualties, otherwise" Xu Zheng rarely showed a frightened look: "Otherwise, it will be broken through head-on, and then there will be two wings of enemy light cavalry flanking" Liu Yan had the impression that Xu Zheng was a tough guy who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and it was the first time he would show a frightened expression when he saw Xu Zheng, which showed that the battle situation at that time was dangerous enough.
The Han army also has its own heavy cavalry, which was originally 3,000, and later increased to 5,000, and was called the Tiger Army, but this army has not yet joined the battlefield.
In addition to the Tiger Ben Army, with the 3,000 armor cavalry equipment brought by Ran Min's annexation, the number of armored heavy cavalry in the Han army has reached 8,000.
And the heavy cavalry reorganized from Ran Min's army was not on the battlefield of Puyang City, and was first taken by Huan Wen to the battlefield of Liangjun to eliminate Sun Fudu's department, and is currently resting in Jiyin County.
Liu Yan can understand that the battle situation has changed again, which can be regarded as a warm-up for half a year, and only now is it showing some signs of a decisive battle.
The reality is that as the season comes to autumn, the war horse has grown fat and has enough weight-bearing capacity, and the equipment of the dragon guards under Shi Hu's command has reached a suitable time for battle.
Not only is it a heavy cavalry, but any cavalry is in a similar situation, and it was just a helpless move to use it before, and I don't know how many war horses will be abolished.
War horses are really not so easy to serve, and if they lose weight seriously, they are basically half-wasted, and when they are physically exhausted, they will also reduce the service cycle.
Therefore, the Hu people of all dynasties waited for the war horses to raise fat, and they would only go out in a big way when the horses were fat in autumn.
Liu Yan learned in detail about the recent development of the war situation, and learned that the Han army in Puyang County had dropped to less than 40,000, and he still had no intention of mobilizing the army into the main battlefield after a long time.
"I heard that my king intends to attack Yecheng or Xiangguo" Xu Zheng said in a puzzled tone: "This strategy will inevitably cause panic among the enemy troops in Puyang County, which will be beneficial to the battle situation."
Liu Yan had temporarily suppressed the idea of attacking Yecheng or Xiangguo, and he had a detailed discussion with Ji Chang and the others later, and the pros and cons and other things should have been said, but he just looked at Xu Zheng and didn't take that tone.
Xu Zheng didn't have any extra thoughts, he simply had nothing to say, and left after reporting some more information.
Tai'an and the others' ideas can't be said to be wrong, it really needs the atmosphere of a great country, at least to show undoubted military might.
It can inflict heavy damage on the Puyang battlefield and even annihilate the main force of Shijie, Yecheng and Xiangguo, and even most of the Central Plains can be easily attacked.
Liu Yan stood up slowly, he was just about to go out for a walk, but when he came to the side of the tent, there was a request from Ji Chang from outside, and he had to return to the main seat, looked at Ji Chang who came in, and asked: "What is Tai'an for?"
"An Shi has conquered Xingyang."
Ji Chang had a rare smiling face, and said happily: "In this way, the possibility of Shi Hu retreating to Luoyang is cut off." ” It is no wonder that Ji Chang was happy, the fleet of the Han army was marching from the east of the Yellow River to the west, the purpose of course was to block Shi Hu's retreat, and Xie An's capture of the important town of Xing, which was located west of the Puyang battlefield, was of great strategic significance.
"Isn't Xingyang guarded by tens of thousands of Zhao troops led by Ma Qiu" Liu Yan still knew what the specific situation of Xingyang was, and asked in surprise: "How did Xie An take it in such a short time?"
It doesn't matter how he won it, but Ji Chang has an unusual appreciation for Xie An, and it is necessary to talk about it in detail, at least let Liu Yan understand Xie An's military talent.
Liu Yan's cognition of Xie An comes from the impression of the history books, if you want to say that appreciation is a certain thing, what I didn't expect is that the young Xie An has such a high military talent, after all, Xie An was sixty-two years old when he presided over the "Battle of Weishui" in history, and now Xie An is only twenty-five years old.
"Ma Qiu" Liu Yan also knew Ma Qiu, he thought a little funny: In history, Ma Qiu was a "famous general manufacturing machine", and he used Ma Qiu's fiasco to support the strength of others, but he didn't expect that this time it was not Xie Ai who used Ma Qiu to brush up his achievements, it was Xie An.
On the other side, Ji Chang was still talking excitedly about the development of the war situation, and his opinion was that the encirclement would be formed when the fleet arrived, and there was only one place that the Han army should capture next, and that place was called Jianjin Dividing line I didn't know what was going on for more than a month, I was drowsy, and I couldn't adjust it.
Sigh, sigh, sigh:
