It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 143 The most subtle strategy often only needs to be completed in one step

Gao Rang looked like an honest person, but he had a lot of calculations in his heart.

But he also knows that if a person wants to plan something, the more links there are, the greater the possibility of failure.

Even if there is no strategy left, it will be more difficult to achieve.

Take the Battle of Changshan by Emperor Han as an example, whether it was open market, digging tunnels, thunderbolts, pinching Zhang Yiping, and navy outflanking.
This series of plans, as long as one link fails, it may not be so smooth, eating the Jiaozhi army, and then directly taking the Jiaozhi County.

Too risky, and often the key to success lies in the final decision.

Even if some scheming masters really plan a big game of chess, they may not be able to count every move in the game accurately.

Just like people in life, plan an important thing.

No matter how careful and detailed the plan is, there may be many accidents when it comes time to act.

In many cases, it is still necessary to take a step and look at it.

Therefore, Gao Rang's approach is very simple.

The Hongmen Banquet was directly poisoned, clean and neat.

And before that, Emperor Han hosted a banquet for the South Vietnamese leader in the barracks.

This also allowed Gao Rang to make certain predictions about what would happen at another banquet.

Yes, even if you ambush the swordsmen, it may not be possible to accomplish anything.

If you dance with a sword, it is tantamount to playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong.

Not only the Emperor Han, who was capable of lifting a tripod, but also Dian Chu, who was his bodyguard, and the eight hundred elite imperial guards.

With the ability of these people, even if Emperor Han did nothing but raise a tripod to help the fun, it would be enough to kill a bloody road directly.

But poisoning is different.

Gao Rang is bound to win this.

It doesn't matter whether you are capable of lifting a tripod or unparalleled in archery, if you drink a glass of poisoned wine, you deserve to die.

And once Emperor Han died, his goal was achieved.

Even if the Han army outside the city went berserk because of this riot, and even lost their minds and slaughtered the city directly, resulting in the massacre of Jiaozhi Kingdom, it didn't matter.

Fuck him.

He fell in love with Donghu a few years ago, and he is a member of the Great Khan.

Besides, it happened to be a cover for his poisoning behavior.

The Jiaozhi Kingdom has been defeated, the army is gone, and there is no chance of a comeback.

From the perspective of the Cochin Kingdom, no one would do anything at the banquet.

If he moved his hands, even if he could really do something to Emperor Han, he would definitely die in the face of the Han army outside the city.

Therefore, everyone in the Han army will certainly not take more precautions against this.

However, because Emperor Han won a big victory, captured tens of thousands of prisoners, and the incompetence and flattery of the King of Jiaozhi, he would naturally be arrogant and arrogant in his heart, so he relaxed his vigilance.

It's all about opportunity!
Gao Rang was not afraid of death, nor was he afraid of what would happen to the royal family and common people of Cochin Kingdom.

What he cares about is that the death of Han Emperor is enough to buy half a month for the Great Khan.

As for being despised by others after being poisoned, he doesn't care about such trivial matters.

People are going to die, do you still care about fame?
When the Great Khan wipes out the great man, and then remember his achievements, a monument will have to be erected if it is not complete!
For this reason, Gao Rang even went to the artificial water feature, played the guqin, and grilled skewers.

Not to mention, Liu Ke was attracted.

At first glance, it is quite abstract. What is this thing?

But calm down and take a closer look, this scene really has a bit of immortality.

Think about it, next to a beautiful artificial water feature, there is flowing water.

Accompanied by the melodious sound of Guqin and the gurgling water of the entire waterscape, the atmosphere is more peaceful and charming.

From time to time, there is still a faint smoke.

The smoke, the sound of water, and the sound of the zither merge into an indescribable beauty, which is amazing.

Just smelling the aroma of barbecue in the smoke will make you more and more appetizing.

"I will have a drink with you all!"

Liu Ke couldn't help twitching his index finger, and simply drank a lot of etiquette, and then began to feast.

Seeing this, Gao Rang knew the time had come.

He immediately stopped the guqin in his hand, and hurried forward to pour the wine himself.

He is not at ease if others fall.

This wine is exquisite.

There is a partition in the middle of the wine jug, which divides the jug into two parts, one side is filled with ordinary wine, and the other side is filled with poisonous wine.

It is said that LV Pheasant did this in the past. After she established the young Liu Gong as the emperor, she was worried that the young emperor Liu Gong would give birth to his mother, Queen Zhang, and endanger her power.

Lu's pheasant took the Jiuqu Yuanyang Pot from the deep palace, filled it with poisoned wine, and turned the mechanism during the banquet in the palace, causing Queen Zhang to be poisoned and died without knowing it.

The handle of the pot has a mechanism, and with a little manipulation, one pot can be used to pour out two glasses of different wines.

Gao Rang covered the handle of the pot with his cuff, operated secretly, and poured out the wine.

Liu Ke noticed the difference in the pot, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and sighed:

"This little thing is quite chic."

Gao Rang nodded and said:

"This is also made by the craftsman who made the waterscape."

Liu Ke couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, this pot is also quite abstract, just like the artificial water feature.

White forehead tall pot.

The body of the jug is a wine jug common in the Han Dynasty, which can hold wine.

But under the body of the jug, there are three more legs than ordinary wine jugs.

The upper body is in the shape of a jug, and the lower body is in the shape of a wine jue.

It can not only pour wine like a wine jug, but also hold it up to drink like a wine jug.

Gao Rang was also embarrassed.

If it was not a last resort, he would not use such an eye-catching tall pot with a white forehead to pour wine.

But this mandarin duck pot is hidden deep in the palace, where is he going to get it?
That is, the design of this pot, which is half a pot and half a noble, allowed him to improve it a little bit, and it became the structure of a mandarin duck pot.

Gao Rang took a sip first, indicating that there was no problem.

But just a small sip, not too much.

In order to poison more covertly, he added arsenic to the wine.

This arsenic is not colorless and odorless, but it has a very mild taste.

Ordinary people can hardly smell it, even if they are not ordinary people, those with good noses will not be able to smell it if they are not paying attention.

He was also afraid that he would accidentally make a mistake.

Moreover, the pot was remodeled, so it is not impossible for the pot to leak something.

It's not good to drink a little wine with arsenic by yourself.

Of course Gao Rang has a will to die.

But after the incident, being killed by the furious Han army and being poisoned by his own poison are completely different things!
Several accompanying officials around, as well as several imperial guards who entered the palace with Liu Ke, also drank together, and drank them all in one gulp.

Dian Chu didn't drink, the small wine glass wasn't enough for half a mouthful.

There's no point in drinking like this.

He looked at the white-fronted high-foot pot in Gao Rang's hand, a little lost in thought.

It not only has the large capacity of a jug, but also has the elegance of holding a wine jug.

A real man should use this to drink!

Gao Rang's scalp was numb when Dian Chu saw it, and he thought he had been seen through.

Fortunately, Liu Ke didn't think much about it, [Poison Resistance] plus [Hongmen Banquet], he was the only one who poisoned others at the banquet, and it was impossible for him to be poisoned.

So he was very bold and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your Majesty is generous!"

Seeing this, the accompanying ministers couldn't help but praise him greatly.

Although they surrendered to the country, Emperor Han also treated them with due courtesy. How could they not let people return to their hearts if they drank it all and didn't pay more attention to it?
Seeing this, Gao Rang couldn't help admiring that Emperor Han treated people with sincerity, no wonder he was able to win people's hearts.

But this person is too sincere, and it is easy to die.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, suppressed his emotions, ate something, and waited for the arsenic to explode.

Waited a while.

Nothing happened.

Something is wrong? ?
Gao Rang took a serious look at Emperor Han who was eating with gusto.

Not only is there no discomfort at all, but looking at the eagerness to try, it may even be that he wants to play the guqin and grill skewers by himself.

A small amount of arsenic is enough to kill. Even if it is mixed with wine, it is impossible for such a long time without adverse reactions.

So it's not poisoned at all? ?
Gao Rang glanced at the crowd again.

He made sure he pulled the switch once and poured a glass of poisoned wine.

But the accompanying minister is fine.

The guards of the Han army are fine.

That.
He couldn't help but look into his glass, and only took a sip of the wine.

It's fine for others to drink it in one gulp.

That is yourself.

This sip of wine does not contain much arsenic, and the effect will not be so fast.

Gao Rang glanced at Emperor Han who was still enjoying himself.

My heart is full of unwillingness.

How could this deadly plan, which was clean and neat, to simplify the complexity, fail?

All the civil and military people in the hall who were eating, drinking, having fun, and having fun were like a great irony to him.

Gao Rang wished to do it all over again immediately.

He never thought that he would be the culprit for the failure of the strategy.

Never thought that if you pour a glass of poisoned wine, you will go wrong if you step on a horse? ? ?

At this moment, he only felt dizzy for a while, and then turned into a headache.

Even the muscles all over his body began to ache, and his hands and feet were a little uncontrollable.

Even began to recall the past.

From being an unnoticed civil servant in the court to Shi Hai's ascending to the throne, he was reused and made his debut.

Then he joined forces with Zhang Yiping to put down the rebellion in the middle of the country with one piece of paper and one force.

In just five years, he has grown from a small official to a prime minister in charge of a country's military affairs.

Therefore, it was also favored by Donghu Da Khan.

What a pity
But Gao Rang finally raised a glimmer of expectation.

If he died, would that useless monarch become enmity with the big man?

Although the monarch did not dare to be hostile to the big man and had long thought of surrendering, but seeing the important officials in the court being poisoned to death at the banquet, he must have doubts about the big man, right?

For the sake of his own life, maybe it can delay the Han army for some time.

half a month.
As long as the delay is half a month, the Great Khan will be able to get things done!
"Okay, Gao Xiangguo, a glass of wine, what's the point?"

Shi Hai, who used to have a flattering look on his face, now has a sneer on his face.

All of a sudden, showing a bit of heroism, he came to Gao Rang's side in a few steps.

Shi Hai directly poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down.

Undisguised, he turned the mechanism on the handle of the pot, poured himself another glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Your arsenic-laced wine has already been replaced by this king."

"With this king here, how could you kill His Majesty?!"

As he said, Shi Hai took the jug and smashed Gao Rang on the forehead. After knocking him unconscious, he turned around and faced Liu Ke.

Only this time, there was no flattery.

Although his young face still had the emptiness and paleness of excessive indulgence, his temperament has changed.

"Gao Rang colluded with Donghu, intending to poison and murder His Majesty, this King has found out, please His Majesty to deal with it!"

"Ok?"

Liu Ke put down the skewers in his hand, his eyes were a little more serious.

I seem to despise the world a little bit.

[Name: Shi Hai (Bang Shi)]

【Age: 22】

【Command: 58; Force: 67; Wisdom: 94; Administration: 94】

[Characteristics: Conservative, lustful, God of Heavenly Pillar, Acting Skills]

This is indeed the ability that the king of a country should have.

Shi Hai is not the cowardly, lustful and incompetent king as rumored.

Liu Ke suddenly smiled and said:

"I never realized that you still have this ability."

"Five years ago, your elder brother committed suicide and you succeeded him. Afterwards, there was a rebellion in Jiuzhen County."

"Among them, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

He found himself missing an important point.

All the people in Jiaozhi Kingdom are very talented indeed.

But Gao Rang was reused only after Shi Hai succeeded to the throne, and Zhang Yiping also became a general after he quelled the rebellion in Jiuzhen County.

In other words, before Shi Hai succeeded to the throne, the two of them could do nothing at all.

And a monarch who can successfully ascend to the throne by himself, no matter how you think about it, it will not be too simple.

Shi Hai didn't answer.

Some things don't have to be on the surface.

"His Majesty."

Dian Chu, who was guarding Liu Ke, and the guards were vigilant.

This situation doesn't look right!
Liu Ke waved his hand, [Hongmen Banquet] plus [Juding Jubin], he was almost invincible at the banquet.

He just walked up to Shi Hai lightly and asked:
"What do you want to do?"

"Lu Shan."

Shi Hai took half a step back, signaling the courtesy of his subordinates, not daring to offend Emperor Han.

At the same time, he called out calmly, and Lu Shan, who was too abstract, walked into the hall.

"Tell your Majesty the current situation of Donghu."

Lu Jian didn't say much, dipped in the wine, used his finger as a pen, and began to draw on the ground.

He actually drew a map, with mountains, rivers and rivers, without any errors.

He is a little on the ground.

"This is the position of Great Khan Donghu."

"Gaozhou?!"

Liu Ke was surprised, Donghu Da Khan chose to deal with the contradictions of the eight tribes, and the way to solve the big man turned out to be a personal conquest.

This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"So, Donghu Great Khan will die soon?"

"good."

Shi Hai nodded and said:
"Donghu Da Khan is old and frail, and he is seriously ill. He can only live for one or two years at most."

Liu Ke couldn't help but take another look at Shi Hai. It seems that Shi Hai didn't really do nothing during the few years of delegating power and letting go of power:

"You know it very well."

Shi Hai didn't change his face, and continued:

"Donghu Da Khan has always been in close contact with Gao Rang, and this king is also lucky to know."

"lucky?"

Liu Ke didn't believe it.

I'm afraid that all of Gao Rang's actions will be under Shi Hai's strict surveillance.

This Lu Shan seems to be Gao Rang's confidant, but now he obeys Shi Hai's words.

It's obvious which side it's on.

Before, Shihai's unrestrained appearance and the appearance of a foolish king also made the Donghu people relax their vigilance.

And there are high-ranking officials who take charge of the country's military and political affairs, and the monarch is equivalent to a puppet.

The Donghu people would not pay too much attention to Jiaozhi, but they were all focused on attacking the big man, and the Jiaozhi country was preserved.

If not, either Shi Hai himself will be a dog to the Donghu people.

Either the Donghu people led troops to attack and forcibly took the Jiaozhi Kingdom.

This also allowed Shi Hai to guarantee that although he himself has been eating, drinking and having fun, his reputation is not good.

But Jiaozhi Kingdom still has the surname "Shi" all the time, and it doesn't have to be a dog for the Donghu people.

Moreover, under the current situation, when Jiaozhi Kingdom was conquered and destroyed, Shi Hai could still blame Gao Rang.

Although he had calculations in his heart, Shi Hai still tried his best to be a courtier, but he was neither humble nor overbearing in his every move, and continued:
"The Great Khan of the East Hu, made a clear order to give way, asking him to delay the Han army for half a month no matter what."

"That's why Gao Rang risked his life to poison His Majesty."

"If you think about it, Khan Donghu must have a way to destroy the big man within half a month."

"I hope His Majesty will know the priorities here."

Liu Ke frowned.

Donghu Great Khan came too fast, he had shortened the time to attack Jiaozhi as much as possible, and he was caught up in just over two months.

It seems that the old dog intends to destroy the big man in his lifetime.

20 years later, Donghu Da Khan once again personally conquered, and this alone is enough to stabilize the eight parts.

As long as it can destroy the big man within a few years.

When the Great Khan dies, the eight tribes of Donghu will be in chaos, and they will have to do their own thing, so basically there will be no big troubles.

It seems that this time, Donghu Great Khan did conquer with determination.

Liu Ke knew that the situation was urgent, but he still didn't show it on his face.

You Shihai has the characteristic of [acting skills], we have more than one destiny related to acting skills!

"Donghu Da Khan's saber is on my body, and this time I will use his saber to cut off his dog's head."

Shi Hai was not frightened either, and still said clearly:

"East Hu is all in the Central Plains, even though the Great Khan of Dong Hu can only mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Qiyan Department now, his prestige is not as good as it was back then."

"But the elite Tiefutu of the Qiyan tribe, who had swept countless Han armies, also went out with him."

"If Donghu Great Khan can gain an advantage in Gaozhou and reverse the previous decline, the other seven Khans will definitely wait and see."

"Is Your Majesty really sure of resisting?"
