Dou Ying disagreed. He had heard of Liang Xiao and Dong Zhongshu's arguments. In his opinion, it was just a joke. Besides, Dong Zhongshu's Confucian scholar who was dutiful and had no experience in politics was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Liang Xiao's voice was quite loud. The emperor in the car ahead heard it clearly. He couldn't help laughing and whispered: "Wei Qihou underestimated the enemy."

Han Yan, who was sitting in the same car with him, was very surprised. "Will Liang Xiao play against Wei Qihou?"

The emperor tilted his mouth and smiled without saying a word. Han Yan understood and smiled with a pursed lips. "Your Majesty is so smart, I am really stupid."

The two of them smiled knowingly, and the emperor's eyes showed a little pride.

When passing Jiaofang Hall, Xiya left the team and went to Jiaofang Hall to ask for the queen not to mention it. Liang Xiao and others came to Chengming Hall, got out of the car together, and went to the hall. Guo Sheren and a few waiters had already prepared the desk table, and two new faces were waiting aside. After the emperor took his seat, Liang Xiao and others took their seats one by one. The emperor waved his hand. "You can tell your own home."

The two men standing beside him came forward and reported their names. One was Yan'an, Linzi, and the other was Xu Le, Yan's Kingdom.

Liang Xiao was not surprised. These two people were famous in history and were passed down by Yan Zhu, Zhu Maichen, etc. Especially Xu Le, who left a thousand-word paper in "Book of Han", which was quite insightful.

Although Liang Xiao was young, he was a vassal king with a title. In this era when the title was respected, he could sit there and just owed his body to repay the gift.

Yan An and Xu Le were a little surprised. They obviously did not expect Liang Xiao to be so young. Although they all knew that Liang Xiao was just young and had just become a relative, they still instinctively thought Liang Xiao more maturely, at least not what he looked like in front of him.

Everyone politely spoke to each other and took their seats one after another. After a while, Sima Xiangru and Sang Hongyang entered the hall one after another.

Liang Xiao and Sima Xiangru met, but had no relationship. Sima Xiangru wrote good fu, but had conflicts of stuttering, so he did not take on the heavy responsibility of theory with ministers from the foreign court like Yan Zhu and others. He rarely appeared in these discussion occasions. His hobbies were reading, drinking, writing fu, and literati's true nature was more important.

Seeing Sima Xiangru attending the meeting, Liang Xiao glanced at Dou Ying and smiled. Dou Ying also reported to him. The emperor attached great importance to his proposal. Of course he was happy. As for Liang Xiao's possible attack, he didn't care about it at all.

When everyone was here, the emperor announced the beginning of the meeting and let King Wuqiu Shou explain the situation first.

The situation is very simple. King Zhao Hu of Nanyue wrote a letter saying that King Ying of Minyue launched an army to attack the border of Nanyue and requested support from the Han Dynasty.

On the other hand, the hostages of Minyue in Beijing reported that the Minyue prime minister Yu Shan had close contacts with Nanyue. This invasion of Nanyue was likely a conspiracy to collude. I hope the Han Dynasty would not send troops easily to avoid being trapped.

After King Wuqiu Shou finished talking about the situation, the emperor said, "Please discuss it, should the court send troops?"

Liang Xiao looked at the nose, the nose, the mouth, the heart, like an old monk entering into a meditation. These clichés are the most unnourished. The old ministers and rookies have arrived. You ask me if I should send troops? If this is the case, shouldn’t I chat privately? Since we have all come, there is still a question of whether we should send troops. There is only one question that can be discussed: how to send troops.

Sure enough, when the King of Wuqiu Shou started, others followed up, and there was no form of discussion. They just spoke in a common way and should send troops. The only difference is that the statements are different. Some say that Nanyue is a vassal state, and the vassal state is difficult, so they should be saved; some say that Minyue is a vassal state, and the vassal state is disobedient and should be beaten.

The emperor was very satisfied. "Then let me tell you how to send troops? Wei Qihou, you are an old minister of the three dynasties and have the richest experience. Let's be a role model first."

Dou Ying was not polite either. He cleared his throat, talked eroticly, and talked a lot about his strategy of sending troops.

Liang Xiao basically knew his theory, and he provided the creativity to Dou Ying. Dou Ying discussed it with him when he was at the banquet. However, at this moment, he still listened very seriously. If he had to debate later, he had to find the target first.

Liang Xiao thought he knew Dou Ying’s plan, but after listening to it for a while, he felt something was wrong. Dou Ying suggested that the emperor take the Nanyue to restore the old state of Qin, but his strategy was very problematic.

Of course, Dou Ying's strategy cannot be problematic. According to the actual situation of this era, it can even be said that Dou Ying's strategy is quite stable and has enough qualifications to be proud. The emperor admired his strategy so much, and he also liked his strategy to be feasible.

But in Liang Xiao's opinion, this strategy is undoubtedly too conservative.

It’s not that he is not brave enough, but that he has not truly consolidated the current situation of the great man and lagged behind the times.

It seems that there was no sudden change in the Han Dynasty at this time. However, Liang Xiao knew very well that the Han Dynasty at this time had deviated from the historical trajectory and many new things that had not appeared in this era had appeared. For example, the clairvoyance, the Huainan merchant ships traveling to the South China Sea, and the world he had already shown on different occasions, the Han people's horizons had been significantly improved.

Dou Ying's strategy did not mention these at all, and there was nothing at all. He still solved the South Vietnam problem according to the Qin army's ideas seventy years ago: Yu Zhang and his fellow countrymen sent troops to attack Minyue, and then used Minyue as the base to guide Nanyue.

This disappointed Liang Xiao. I don’t know if Dou Ying was too old, rigid in thought, or too anxious, so I didn’t have time to think more, so I just used the Qin army’s strategy. According to his idea, even if the Han Dynasty’s current strength is far greater than that of the Qin Dynasty, it would not be easy to win Nanyue.

Today, Nanyue is no longer the barbarians of the past. The three generations of the Zhao family have been operating in Nanyue for longer than when the Han Dynasty was founded. Dou Ying still looks at Nanyue with an old eye, so it would be strange if he doesn't suffer any losses. If he really sent troops according to his strategy, the fate would probably not be much better than the Qin army back then.

Liang Xiao originally wanted to find some of Dou Ying's minor problems, so he deliberately fought to let the emperor see that he and Dou Ying were not in dealing with him. Now that he had to reconsider Dou Ying's strategy after hearing Dou Ying's strategy.

The emperor can afford to lose, but he can't afford to lose.

The emperor kept paying attention to Liang Xiao's eyes. Seeing that Liang Xiao's expression was wrong, his heart skipped a moment inexplicably, and he had an ominous premonition.

He was personally very satisfied with Dou Ying's strategy. In his opinion, this strategy was stable and feasible, and there was a high possibility of success. If Wei Qing and others made a smooth progress in the fall of this autumn, Yinshan would start and restore the Qin border, and then they could turn to the south and restore the territory of the Qin Dynasty within a few years. If we include the newly acquired Wuwei County in Longyou, his achievements would be even slightly better than that of Qin Shihuang.

This is undoubtedly a very attractive goal. The achievements of Qin Shihuang's life can be achieved in just a few years of power. In any case, it is something to be proud of.

However, seeing Liang Xiao's expression, he became uneasy. Dou Ying formulated a strategy and asked Liang Xiao to provide advice in hopes of supplementing his details. If Liang Xiao opposed this plan and thought it was not feasible, he would have to push everything back.

The emperor suppressed his inner uneasiness and did not rush to let Liang Xiao speak. After Dou Ying explained his strategy, he asked Xu Le and others to speak first.

Xu Le was very cautious. He just pointed out that according to Dou Ying's plan, the number of troops required may be more and the time will be longer. When there has not yet been a decisive advantage in fighting against the Huns, whether so much manpower and material resources can be mobilized in the south is a question that should be carefully considered.

Yan An and others agreed and said that they should be treated with caution so as not to repeat the dilemma of the Qin army back then.

Sima Xiangru did not express his opinion, but he frowned slightly, and thought he did not agree. King Wuqiu Shou was silent. He was a person around the emperor and knew the emperor's attitude. At this time, he did not dare to rashly raise objections. It doesn't matter if Dou Yinggao was unhappy, but the emperor was unhappy, that would be more troublesome.

Seeing so many people disagree, the emperor turned his eyes to Liang Xiao. "Bo Ming, can you add anything to Wei Qihou's strategy?"

Liang Xiao thought to himself, it's coming again. It's so clear that I want me to raise my hand to agree. But if I really agree, I will become a scapegoat if I don't do it well in the end.

Liang Xiao pondered for a moment, turned around and bowed to Dou Ying. "Wai Qihou, have you been to Jiangnan?"

Dou Ying shook his head and gave Liang Xiao a blank look. "Bo Ming, just say whatever you have. There is no need to take any turns. It is better to make simpler discussions in front of Your Majesty. If you say too obscurely, it will be easy to mislead things."

Liang Xiao nodded. "Since Wei Qihou said that, I will speak frankly. I don't agree with this plan." He raised his hand and signaled Dou Ying not to rush to refute, and then turned to Sima Xiangru. "Mr. Sima, you are from Yizhou and have been in Guanzhong for many years. I would like to ask Mr. Husband. In his opinion, what are the similarities and differences between Guanzhong and Yizhou?"

Sima Xiangru was stunned, obviously not expecting Liang Xiao to ask him. He rolled his eyes for a while before he stammered: "This... Guanzhong is indeed similar to Yizhou, and they are all four... four border countries. Because of this, Guanzhong does not... do not establish princes, Yizhou does not establish princes. What's the difference? You care about Yizhou... Yizhou is much wet, not... not as dry as Guanzhong."

Sima Xiangru said intermittently for a long time, and Dou Ying became impatient. "A hundred miles away from the wind, thousands of miles away from the customs, and Nanyue is different from Guanzhong. I naturally know this, so why bother to say more. When the Qin army was able to capture Nanyue, our Han army is stronger than the Qin army, why not?"

"Then Wei Qihou knew why the Qin army could sweep the world, but he was deeply trapped in the quagmire of Nanyue. In the end, it took 500,000 Qin army five years to succeed? It should be noted that Qin only took ten years to pacify the six countries."

"That's not because the Qin army was brutal and killed many innocent people, which caused the local people to resist. So long-term battle was ineffective." Dou Ying smiled proudly and glanced at Liang Xiao. "Nanyue is a vassal state of our dynasty, and our Han army is the army of the emperor. If there is a war, how can it be compared with the Qin army?"

Liang Xiao lowered his face, stared at Dou Ying's eyes, and said word by word: "Wei Qihou, you are brave. You dare to say that Wei Qihou's words are two lamentable, three lamentable, and one crying."

Dou Ying was stunned for a moment, then laughed and bowed her hand casually.

"Dare to ask for advice."

"It is a pity that Wei Qihou's old ministers in three dynasties were so underestimated by the enemy. He was well-versed in Confucianism and Taoism, but followed the crowd; those who were sad were the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in a foreign land, and the people were useless to consume food and wages, and Wei Qihou's moral integrity was not guaranteed; those who could cry, His Majesty's great achievements were destroyed by the fact that they were not allowed."—
