Zhang Xianzhong now has large areas of land in Sichuan, Hanzhong, Jingzhou, Yunnan and Guizhou, Guangxi and Annan.

Although Western countries are now a weak country and a small country for Ganguo, if they change their place to Western countries, they will definitely be the hegemon.

In East Asia, it is actually very cruel. Anything that is worse than the Central Plains dynasty is a small country. They can only kneel down and call out to Dad under the power of the Central Plains dynasty.

But the small countries in the eyes of the Central Plains dynasty are actually not weak, including North Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, the vassals of the Central Plains dynasty, even if they are in Europe, they are still powerful countries.

Although the Western Kingdom is not as good as the Ganchao, it has a vast territory and a large number of people. Without a good strategy, it is difficult to destroy the Western Kingdom.

After hearing Gao Huan's words, everyone in the hall looked at each other and began to prepare for the attack on the West since last year. The whole country actually had a general direction.

At this time, Li Yan first spoke: "Report to Your Majesty, I have been mobilizing money, grain, arms and logistics from Guanzhong, Huguang and Guangdong since last year. Only by May can I further improve the material supply."

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "There are probably only three directions to attack the Western Kingdom. One is to attack Hanzhong from Guanzhong, the other is to attack Jingzhou from Wuchang, and the last is to attack Guangxi from Guangzhou. These three directions can be attacked by the Western Kingdom, but which route is the main attack needs to be decided as soon as possible so that the court can prepare sufficient money, grain and equipment as the main attack army."

Regarding the destruction of the Western Kingdom, Gao Huan only formulated a major direction, which was to use Sun Kewang's reforms to disrupt the Western Kingdom's society and then launch an attack.

Gao Huan paused and continued: "According to the information sent back from the Military Information Department, Zhang Xianzhong appointed Sun Kewang to carry out reforms. The Western country used a large amount of manpower and material resources to recruit new troops, mine mines, and cast guns and cannons. I estimate that the Western country's agriculture will be affected this year. I plan to ban the sale of grain and various materials to the Western country from July to stop various trade between the two countries. At this time, the Western country will inevitably have shortage of food and materials, causing soaring prices and social unrest. At this time, the Western country has missed the farming time and it is too late to replant. By the end of the year, the Western country will have turmoil, and that is the time for me to embark on a large-scale western expedition."

Li Yan and others were listening carefully. Gao Huan glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The direction of the attack now and the time to go out to fight have been determined. Moreover, Sun Chuanting wiped out the remnants of the Tang army in Longxi, and Haoge was confined to North Korea, and no one could affect my western expedition. Today, we will formulate a specific strategy for going out according to the current situation."

After Gao Huan finished speaking, Du Yinxi said, "Your Majesty, our dynasty's strength and military strength are stronger than Zhang Xianzhong, but Zhang Xianzhong also has his reliance, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although our dynasty has made many preparations, it is still very difficult to attack Sichuan."

"If Sichuan is not easy to defend but difficult to attack, I would not send spies to disrupt the Western Kingdom first." Gao Huan nodded and asked immediately: "The proposal to conquer the Western Kingdom has been proposed for so long, and Du Aiqing must have come up with a solution to crack the advantages of the Western Army's geographical advantage."

Since last year, Gao Huan ordered the preparations to conquer Zhang Xianzhong, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Office of the Five Army were ordered to study the strategy of destroying the West.

Du Yinxie is a minister in charge of military affairs in the Council of the People's Republic of China. In recent times, he has been discussing strategies with others and deducing the plan to destroy the West on the sand table.

"Report to Your Majesty! I do have a plan." Du Yinxi stood up and said.

Gao Huan waved his hand and asked someone to take a map, hang it on the wall of the lobby, then walked over and said with a smile: "Then please tell me!"

Du Yinxi walked to the map, picked up a wooden pole, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, colleagues, the strategy jointly formulated by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army can probably use three allusions to state the three stages of the plan."

Gao Huan asked: "What three stories?"

Du Yinxi pointed at Sichuan with a wooden pole and said, "The land of Bashu is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, the Western army has many troops and limited roads to enter Sichuan. As long as the Western army can guard the dangerous situation, even if our army is one million troops, it will be difficult for our army to attack Sichuan. Therefore, I think that the first thing to do to attack Sichuan is to lure the Western army out of Sichuan and weaken Sichuan's defensive power. The first allusion is "Stone cow dung gold, five Dings open the way."

"I know this allusion. According to legend, King Huiwen of Qin wanted to attack Shu, but was blocked by mountains and rivers. So Qin pretended to claim that there were stone cows that could "dung gold" and wanted to give the stone cows to Shu. The King of Shu got into a trap and ordered five strong men to lead a team to build a plank road. After the plank road was completed, the Qin army immediately entered Shu along the plank road to attack and destroy Shu." Gao Huan pondered: "How do you plan to use this allusion?"

Du Yinxi looked at the confused people and explained: "Zhang Xianzhong is not the King of ancient Shu, and my Daqian Dynasty does not have a stone cow that can "die gold", so I cannot copy the allusion. What I mean is that the king will first attack Guangxi, and the soldiers claim that the army will take Yunnan and Guizhou first and attack Sichuan in a roundabout way. If this strategy is done, the Western Kingdom will lose its depth and be surrounded by our dynasty. When Zhang Xianzhong saw our army attacking Guangxi, he would definitely send a large army to reinforce. This is to weaken Sichuan's troops, and the other is that the southwest is densely covered with mountains and forests and roads are blocked. The Western Army will rescue Guangxi and will definitely overhaul the southwest roads so that our dynasty can collect the land of Yunnan and Guizhou."

Gao Huan heard the words and couldn't help but nodded, then asked, "What about the second story?"

Du Yinxi pointed the wooden pole in the direction of Hanzhong, "The second story is the Ming Dynasty's construction of a plank road. After the army attacked Guangxi and attracted a part of the Western Army to Guangxi, the army entering Guangxi could deliberately show weakness, fight against the Western Army in Guizhou, and restrain the forces of the Western Army. At this time, Your Majesty could claim that Daqian would learn from the Wei campaign to destroy Shu Han and launch three large armies to attack Hanzhong. The purpose of this step is to disperse the defensive forces of the Western Kingdom and lead the Western Army of Sichuan to Hanzhong."

Gao Huan smiled. He already knew that Du Yinxi's main attack direction was, "The land of Guanzhong is the newly obtained place of our dynasty. People's livelihood and economy have not yet been restored. If we attack from now on, supply needs to be transported along the Han River and Danshui to Longxu Village, and then travel through Shangluo Mountain by land to Guanzhong. When fighting south from Guanzhong, supply needs to cross the Qinling Mountains and enter Hanzhong, and then cross Daba Mountain to enter Bashan. This is simply a logistical disaster. I also believe that this place cannot be used as the main attack direction, and can only be used as a partial teacher to restrain Zhang Xianzhong."

Du Yinxi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise and already knows the last one of my works."

"The last story is to secretly go to Chen Cang and attack the east and west!" Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "There are indeed some benefits to transfer part of Sichuan's Western Army from Huguang and then attack Sichuan from Huguang. After all, Huguang is my Daqian Granary. Just the convenience of supply alone has enough reason to invest a large amount of troops."

Gao Huan glanced at everyone, "I decided to adopt this policy! Do you have any objections and additions?"

Everyone looked at each other and saluted, "I have no objection!"

Gao Huan nodded when he heard the words, "Okay, then carefully craft it and then follow the policy!"
