The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 97 Li Ru's Conspiracy
Li Ru put his hands on the battlements, and tapped the index and middle fingers of his right hand rhythmically around the battlements. After a long time, seeing Chai Shao, Zhang Xun and others coming together, he turned his head to look at Liu Bian, and said slowly: "You have two strategies, I respectfully invite you to listen."

"Wenyou, but it's okay to talk, I'm willing to listen with all my ears."

Liu Bian knew that what Li Ru was about to say was related to the development of his own forces, so he nodded solemnly.

"The best policy is that Your Majesty can take the lead in stationing troops in Houcheng. When the fierce battle between Gongsun Shengji and Jin Wansheng is in full swing, Your Majesty will personally lead a partial division to take Liaodong County, a hundred miles away, to rule Xiangping City. Xiangping is settled and Liaodong is safe. It is expected that the Liaodong Army will be in disarray after learning that Xiangping City has fallen, and at that time, Gongsun Shengji will be defeated, and Jin Wansheng will lead the army back to Lelang County safe and sound."

"This is a safe strategy, and there is no need to take risks." Li Ru said.

Hearing this, Liu Bian nodded silently, motioning for Li Ru to continue talking.

Li Ru nodded and continued: "The next policy is for Your Majesty to lead the army to take a small path. The Tibetan soldiers are dozens of miles away from Xi'an Ping. When the fierce battle between Gongsun Shengji and Jin Wansheng is in full swing, the army will come out and attack those who are unprepared. To the miraculous effect of killing two birds with one stone."

"If this battle is won, Your Majesty can win the land of two counties in one battle, and take Liaodong and Lelang into his pocket. From then on, there will be no more wars in the north of Liaodong, and there will be no worries about your Majesty's death."

Hearing this, Zhang Xun frowned, looked sideways at Liu Bian who was standing silently in front of the city leader with his hands behind his back, and said worriedly: "This strategy is too radical, and if it fails, the consequences will be disastrous."

Seeing that Liu Bian was still indifferent after hearing the words, Yang Xiu said slowly: "Although Gongsun Shengji has committed many unrighteous acts, he is still a Han subject on the surface. When the fierce battle between the three Koreas is in full swing, if you act rashly, you may end up with the facts and damage your Majesty's reputation."

"reputation?"

Hearing this, Liu Bian finally spoke. He looked sideways at Yang Xiu and said, "If I send my troops to quell the civil strife, then the history will only be praised for me, and there will be no bad words. If I am not strong enough, I will eventually die as a thief In the hands of all, what does fame matter to me? I have experienced so much suffering in my life, why should I care about other people's opinions?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiu smiled embarrassingly, bowed and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true, Xiu has been taught."

Scholars always like to use words like fame to put a shackle on the emperor's body, and when the emperor successfully jumps out of this shackle by virtue of his own wrist and ability, the scholar immediately has nothing to do.

Liu Bian immediately issued an order to recall Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, and immediately began to organize the army to prepare for war, and decided to take a risky move.

"If this battle is won, the general situation will be determined. If this battle is lost, I will lead you to flee to Mobei and wait for an opportunity to fight again."

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he slammed his fist heavily on the battlements, and there was an undisguised determination in his eyes.

Five days later.

Jin Wansheng led his army straight to the foot of Xi'an Ping City. Looking at the head of Xi'an Ping City with banners unfurling, he squinted his eyes, frowned and fell into a short thought.

After a long time.

Jin Wansheng suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the direction of the city head, and said: "The banners on the city head are flying, and there seems to be an ambush. We must pay more attention to prevent fraud."

Hearing the words, the general came forward silently, and said: "Going forward is Fanhan. If the old thief Gongsun takes advantage of Fanhan's strength to strengthen the city and refuses to let the army go, then the army will be in danger of being negatively attacked by the enemy."

Jin Wansheng nodded silently when he heard the words, and said, "Tell me your opinion, but it doesn't matter."

"Why don't you send your troops to capture this city, so as to be prepared for any danger?"

General Pi talked eloquently: "After the army successfully passes through Fanhan, Duke Ming will return the city to the old thief Gongsun. If the army is blocked under the city of Fanhan, Duke Ming can also use this city to fight the old thief Gongsun. It's better to play around and have one more choice than to be passively controlled by others."

"Ah."

Jin Wansheng nodded approvingly.

Friends who have seen the Three-Body Problem should know that the problems between Jin Wansheng and Gongsun Du should be classified under the law of the dark forest. They all gave birth to the mentality of being the first to attack.

After some careful consideration, Jin Wansheng finally made the decision to lead his army to attack Xi'anping.

After a short rest, there was a deafening sound of beating drums under Xi'an Pingcheng.

thump -- thump -- thump --

After the sound of the three-way drum, Jin Wansheng personally commanded the army of the three Hans to launch a wave of attack on Xi'anping with the ladder.

Looking at the surging Sanhan army, Gongsun Du, who was hiding at the top of the city and waiting for an opportunity, suddenly became furious, and said, "I knew Sanhan old man is a thin-hearted man."

After Gongsun Du finished speaking, he quickly commanded the soldiers to defend the city, and immediately ordered the soldiers to light the beacon to send a signal to Gongsun Kang, the eldest son who was in charge of leading the troops to guard the city of Panhan.

Gongsun Kang led three thousand troops to guard Fanhan City. The father and son originally wanted to take advantage of the retreat of the Sanhan army and give it a urn to catch the turtle, but they didn't think that Jin Wansheng was by no means an easy person. tragic situation.

Gongsun Du personally led the [-] defenders and the army of the Three Hans to conduct an extremely tragic offensive and defensive battle around Xi'an Ping.

From the situation of the soldiers of the Liaodong Army alone, we can make a rough judgment on Gongsundu's disposition. The population of Liaodong County is less than 6000, but Gongsundu recruited [-] troops from it. It's been wiped out.

This ratio can be described as appalling. As soon as Gongsundu took office, he began to implement severe punishments. In order to achieve his ambition, he ignored the exhaustion of Liaodong and treated the people of Liaodong like pigs and dogs. Complaints filled Taoist people's lives.

After Gongsun Kang saw the beacon fire, he immediately ordered his soldiers and horses to send troops to help Xi'an Ping.

at the same time.

Liu Bian personally led 3000 troops and hid in a mountain depression [-] miles away from Xi'anping. During this period, Liu Bian deliberately recruited Yuwen Chengdu to meet him, and immediately taught him the opportunity to lead his army to hide in the dark and wait for the opportunity And move.

After Yuwen Chengdu got the order, he once again led a hundred Qingqi to hide his whereabouts, and silently observed Xi'an Ping's every move in the dark.

On this day, the scout flew to report: "Gongsun Kang personally led 3000 troops to help Xi'an Ping."

Hearing this, Liu Bian immediately exchanged glances with Li Ru, and both of them revealed a gloomy smile at the same time, Liu Bian raised his brows, and said, "It seems that Wen You and I are thinking about the same thing. .”

"Your Majesty is a wise man, there is nothing better than that." Li Ru said modestly with a smile.

"I ordered Yuwen Chengdu to lead Qingqi to monitor every move of Gongsun Kang's army in secret. When I lead the army to come, we will join hands to wipe them out." Liu Bian said.

"promise."

The scouts went away.

"The army has been resting here for a day and a night, and it's time to get up and move around."

Liu Bian stretched his waist a lot, got on his horse immediately, led the army around the Xi'an Ping battlefield, and went straight to meet Gongsun Kang who came to Xi'an Ping for support.
