I’m The King Chapter 911: :Huanghuang Hanwei (thirty-six)
Fan Sui bid farewell and left, King Wulie of Qin turned his head to look at Li Ru who was on the side: "Sir, I did not inform you this time, so I secretly ordered Lu Chao to start this operation. It's a hornet's nest! Gao Yuan's strong reaction is really unexpected."
Li Ru opened his eyes and shook his head lightly: "Your Majesty, I have been to the area under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion, and I have also seen Gao Yuan himself. After I came back, I made two comments to Your Majesty. Either take advantage of The Zhengdong army was not fully fledged, so they concentrated their forces to attack Zhengdong Mansion first. The specific strategy was to concentrate the army, attack from Shannan County City, across the grassland, and directly hit the opponent's core Jishi County. The second is to go to Wei State first, and then Take Zhao, and then conquer Dongfu. If you take the first strategy, you should stop the war with Wei, negotiate a peace with Zhao, and we attack the army of Zhengdong. The two countries will not help, and it may be worse."
Li Ru paused for a moment, and continued: "The second strategy is to accumulate national power after the Wei and Zhao are taken, and fight a decisive battle with them. It will take a long time. But the king did not adopt my strategy. Instead, we chose such a nondescript policy, Your Majesty, now we have stepped into a trap we dug ourselves."
King Qin Wulie smiled wryly, "I underestimated the war potential of Zhengdong Mansion."
"We are now beating Wei State to death, but because of this incident, they have gained a chance to breathe. If the Zhengdong Army is dispatched in a large scale, and Wei State will attack Lu Chao's army back and forth, then Lu Chao will be in danger. The Eastern Army is coming in full force, and the troops we can mobilize are limited. Neither Meng Tian nor Li Xin can move lightly. We can only recruit new troops, and another large-scale conscription will inevitably increase the domestic burden, financial pressure will increase, and people's livelihood will inevitably increase. Another blow." Li Ru sighed.
"The current plan, how should we save it?" King Qin Wulie asked a little shyly.
"As Your Majesty said, we are sure to fight a few battles." Li Ru pondered for a moment: "If Lu Chao and Wang Jian can win a few victories in the battle with the Zhengdong Army, it will be beneficial to us The next step is to negotiate with the Zhengdong Army.”
"What if we lose?" Qin Wulie asked. With 30,000 soldiers, He Lanxiong belongs to the Eastern Group Army, and the independent cavalry division of the Northern Group Army, the troops are strong!"
"We can only pay the price for the wrong strategy and end this war as soon as possible." Li Ru stared at King Qin Wulie: "Your Majesty, haste makes waste. The unification of the Central Plains cannot be ended in a short time. You must have a long-term plan and patience to complete this step by step.”
King Qin Wulie nodded and said: "This king is impatient, and my husband knows my body. I want to see that the overall situation is settled before I die, so that I can smile at Jiuquan!"
Li Ru sighed deeply.
"If we lose, what price will we have to pay to end this war?" Seeing that Li Ru was silent, King Qin Wulie continued to ask.
"First, this sudden war requires one person to take the blame." Li Rudao.
"Lu Chao?" King Qin Wulie touched his beard, "This is a bit wronged him!"
"If he is not wronged, can he still let the king be wronged?" Li Ru chuckled: "It is his honor to accept it on behalf of the king, let alone wronging him temporarily."
"I'm afraid this alone can't stop Zhengdong Army!" King Qin Wulie touched his chin, "According to my understanding of Gao Yuan, this man is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles."
"Of course it's impossible to stop here. Lu Chao fought in Ye Sanguan, but set up an ambush to wipe out Gao Yuan's important general Naha and thousands of his subordinates. Of course we have to pay the price for this, Your Majesty, this price, It is half of the land of Wei State that we have captured now." Li Ru said slowly.
"Half of the land?" King Qin Wulie was startled, his brows furrowed, and after a while, they stretched out again, "He caused the disaster?"
"Naturally!" Li Ru said with a smile: "We will hand over these territories to the Conqueror Army, as compensation for Lu Chao's ignorance of the overall situation, avenging his personal revenge, and provoking the Conqueror Army without reason, so that the Conqueror Army will be in a dilemma. We have already demonstrated our sincerity for the truce. If Gao Yuan accepts these lands, the relationship with Wei State will be delicate. In order to contain us, Gao Yuan keeps selling their weapons to Wei State. The relationship with Wei State has always been good. But after taking these lands, will the Wei people ask him for it, and if the Wei people ask him for it, will he give it or not?"
"Yes, how did he persuade the Zhengdong Mansion to go up and down? You must know that the Zhengdong Army killed many people in this battle. These lands are the compensation given to them by us Qin people. If we don't give them, it will be inevitable. If we fight against the Wei people, we can easily destroy the alliance between the two and lay a good foundation for our next attack on Wei."
"This plan is very clever, but I'm afraid Lu Chao will be very suffocated." King Qin Wulie laughed.
"It's his blessing to be able to share your worries for the king. He is not an ignorant person, but he is just idle for a while. When the king wants to use him, it is just a matter of one sentence." Li Ru laughed. .
"Forget it, Lu Chao has worked so hard for the past few years, and it's been hard work, so let him go home to recuperate for a while, and spend time with his mother, wife and children. Well, my little brother doesn't have any children yet. Let him take advantage of this time to work hard, he still only has that Korean woman as his wife, and I will quietly reward him with a few court ladies as concubines." King Qin Wulie laughed.
Li Ru laughed it off.
"Sir, what is the best way to deal with Zhou Yu who was sent back by Lu Chao this time?" King Qin Wulie changed the subject and stopped dwelling on this matter. Too much, a small setback for a while, he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Zhou Yu is a general. Compared with Tan Feng, I actually admire him more. Tan Feng is very scheming, and the city is extremely deep. It is really hard to see what this man is thinking! And Zhou Yu is more Most of them are still pure generals, why not transfer this person to General Meng Tian. General Meng Tian is tolerant, and he wants to get along well with him and give full play to this person's leadership skills. My Daqin can have today's situation because it is eclectic Using talents, there are not a few generals from other countries, and all of them have made great contributions to the Great Qin."
"Zhou Yu and Tan Feng are both talented people. Two days ago, Zhong Li rushed to my place, trying to get Tan Feng over."
"Has the king agreed?"
"Why didn't you agree? Yan Lingwei in Tan Feng's hands still has some residual power, and it can also be annexed to make the Black Ice Terrace even stronger. And you just said that Tan Feng was a scheming man, let him join Heibingtai, it’s not bad to make a sharp knife. Zhongli must be from Daqin, he has a lot of scruples in his actions, and many things don’t satisfy me. If Tan Feng goes, there will be a big change! "King Qin Wulie turned the jade wrench on his finger and said casually.
Li Ru nodded, what King Wulie of Qin said is the truth, Zhongli is indeed not ruthless enough, especially when it comes to many things in the country, Tan Feng is in power, so he doesn't have this concern.
"As for that Ji Ling, let's keep it. When we need to confront Zhengdong Army head-on, this person can be thrown out. He has a righteous reputation, but he must pay attention to his safety. If you want to come to Gaoyuan I want this person to die as soon as possible. Firstly, there will be future troubles, and secondly, I can smear black ash on my face." King Qin Wulie laughed, "Gao Yuan's Overwatch Council is also very powerful. According to Zhongli, the spies they dispatched are collectively called Wolf County, and there are wild wolves and lone wolves. Zhongli has put in a lot of effort, but he has gained very little."
"Tan Feng may be able to break the situation. He has a much deeper understanding of Gao Yuan and the Overwatch Council than we do." Li Ru laughed.
"That's exactly the reason." King Qin Wulie nodded and said: "Let them fight over the court, Fan Sui is a smart man, he should have understood what I mean, wait for the king to cut their news first , I hope he can defeat the Eastern Army.”
Jiuyuan County, Wang Jian, whom King Wulie of Qin placed high hopes on, is now being surrounded by the Eastern Conqueror Army, rushing from left to right, in a panic. In the process of retreating to the city of Jiuyuan County, Wang Jian adopted the method of gradually dividing the troops The strategy was to withdraw and hide the 5,000-horse infantry with the most combat effectiveness under his command in batches, and the rest of the large troops retreated back to Jiuyuan County City, posing as if they wanted to fight with Jiuyuan County City as the core and fight with the Eastern Zheng Army. The stance of an offensive and defensive battle, in fact, he wanted that when the Zhengdong army attacked the city, the five thousand horse infantry would cut off Feng Fayong's back, and then attack from behind, while he would go out of the city, attack front and back, and attack fiercely. Teach Feng Fayong a lesson.
If this plan is successful, it will not only solve the crisis of Jiuyuan County, but also recover the lost ground and drive Feng Fayong back to Shannan County. Some information deduced that the number of troops Wang Jian withdrew to the county was wrong, and thus guessed Wang Jian's intention.
Feng Fayong followed his plan and set up a trap to lure Wang Jian into the camp. In a great battle, Wang Jian's 5,000-horse infantry was not only defeated, but even Wang Jian was besieged.
Bringing the most elite personal guards, Wang Jian finally broke a **** road and fled back to the city. The more than 20,000 Qin army went half way through this battle, but Wang Jian had no time to regret it. Bukai followed him closely and started the siege.
In the past few years, Feng Fayong has been preparing to attack the Qin State. This time, he carried all kinds of siege equipment, densely packed siege vehicles, Mengchong vehicles, and ladder vehicles appeared outside the city. They just defeated the Qin army. The morale of the Eastern Expedition Army was high, facing the rain of arrows at the top of the city, they launched a charge.
Jiuyuan County City ushered in a **** battle. Regardless of the scars on his body, Wang Jian went to the top of the city himself, brandishing a big knife, and launched a **** battle with the Zhengdong Army who ascended the city.
Feng Fayong's plan succeeded, and he was very excited. Wang Jian lost his most capable soldiers. If he took Jiuyuan County, it would be an unprecedented blow to the Qin people. (To be continued)
