The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 14: The confidant’s trouble

Lin Bi stood on the deck, staring coldly at Jinghai Villa, which was drifting away. A middle-aged guard walked behind her and reported: "Your Highness, I don't know what we should do next?"

Lin Bi frowned lightly and said: "I first entered Jinghai Villa, and still have the idea of ​​waiting for a mobile hand, but Jinghai Villa is murderous, I know not to act rashly. I originally wanted to know where Jinghai Villa is, or there will be There was a good opportunity. Unexpectedly, Master Cizhen would come to the East China Sea. This palace was very fortunate that we did not launch it without authorization. It seems that we had to assassinate on the way."

The middle-aged guard frowned and said, "But didn’t Master Cizhen come to welcome Princess Changle and Jiang Zhe back to Changan by the will of Emperor Da Yong? They will be protected by heavy soldiers along the way, as well as Master Cizhen and evil spirits. The protection of characters like Ying Lishun is even if the master’s relatives are scared and powerless, it would be a shame if the soldiers were defeated in vain."

Lin Bi did not answer his question, but flicked her hair: "Xiao Huwei, you have been with Ting Fei for a long time, and you are a disciple of the national teacher. Naturally, your eyesight is different. What do you think of Qi Wang and Jiang Zhe? "

Although Xiao Huwei did not witness the situation on Tingtao Pavilion, he had already heard Lin Tong's vivid remarks. He hesitated and said: "The King of Qi is indeed a famous general, but he is far behind the general. The behavior is too arrogant, overpowering, or there is a chance to take advantage. As for Jiang Zhe, his subordinates find it very funny. The subordinates have heard that this talent is very wise, but after listening to the princess, how do you think this person looks like A child who is not growing up makes his subordinates doubt whether he is really the chief counselor of the king of Yong with a brilliant plan."

Lin Bi smiled faintly, and said: "In the early days of this palace, I also thought it was funny. Before I saw Jiang Zhe, I thought in my heart that he was a brilliant and thoughtful wizard. When I saw him by the sea for the first time, I thought he was floating. Chuchen is not like a person in the world, but Tingtao Pavilion has opened my eyes. This Jiang Zhe is a heart-hearted man, but this is exactly what he is terrifying. I used to be wary of him, but now I am against him. Fear."

Xiao Huwei asked strangely: "Although his behavior is a bit funny, if the princess says he is good at covering up, his subordinates will not find it strange, but why the princess thinks that is his true color, but thinks he is more terrifying The subordinates have also learned war strategies, and they all say that the generals must be calm and ruthless in order to be invincible. I think the same is true for this plan. Isn't it said that the wise are ruthless? If Jiang Zhe still has emotional weakness, why the princess thinks Is he more terrible?"

Lin Bi's eyes darkened, and said, "I was a general in the Lin family. Although I can't be called a master of warfare, he still has some unique experience. Some people say that leading soldiers in war requires ruthlessness. This is not bad, but according to Our many years of experience in leading soldiers, if the enemy leader is completely ruthless, and only uses the military according to the art of war and the situation, the nineteenth will surely lose. If the leader is too ruthless, he will treat his subordinates as improper, and will not treat the enemy even more. The soldiers can be treated as *people, so that although they can hardly be mistaken by emotions, they rely on soldiers to fight. The master can be ruthless and calm. His subordinates are flesh and blood people, fearful and hateful. Using soldiers in this way will eventually lead to the end of the rebellion. .

The same is true of being a counselor. The level of counselor can be roughly divided into three levels. Although the third-level counselors have their own strengths, they also have their own weaknesses. If they fight against each other, they will have their own winners and losers. People don’t need to be afraid. The second-class counselors are cold-hearted and ruthless. They only have interests in their hearts. Although scary, they also have opportunities. After all, people are ruthless. Although such people have powerful strategies, they often They underestimated the emotional factors of the opponents they calculated. Since ancient times, the heroes have often died of unfaithfulness, and the people who are good at calculating tend to take it upon themselves, because they forget that for some people, the power of interest cannot outweigh the loyal family, and if a person is There is only interest in the heart, so what you do is traceable. In this way, if their opponents are resourceful, they can guess their strategies. As long as the strength is sufficient, it is not difficult to win. And the most terrifying first-class counselor is that he has rich feelings himself, but he can withstand the influence of feelings when he makes suggestions. Such counselors are already rare and difficult to deal with, but such counselors also have weaknesses. Their talents and intentions are often People feel jealous and do not want to be close to them, so they often find it difficult to give full play to their talents, and it is difficult for people around them to do their best to implement their strategies. Although these third-class advisers are terrible, they all have weaknesses that can be done. But Jiang Zhe is different, he has already surpassed this limit.

You have also seen his strategy. It penetrates into people's hearts, like weak water, pervasive, and is best at using all available external forces to be insightful to people's hearts. But today, when I saw him, I knew this man was the most terrifying The place is his innocent heart, no matter how vicious he is, but he is sincere to the people around him. In this way, there will be no obstacles around him and he can fully use his talents. You've also heard that not only did Emperor Li Zhi put his heart to him, but also Qi Wang Li Xian, who had always been at odds with Li Zhi, also loved him so much that he would not be angry because Jiang Zhe touched him. Now, his son has become the future son-in-law of King Qi and the closed disciple of Master Cizhen of Shaolin. Even Shaolin no longer regards him as a potential threat. Such a person has both earth-shattering methods and the opportunity to transform the rain. Charm, with his presence, Dayong will no longer have civil strife, do you think this person is terrible? To say something to my heart, this person is the confidant of my Northern Han Dynasty. He does not die for a day, and I cannot feel at ease for a day. "

A murderous intent flashed in Xiao Huwei's eyes and said: "How about we send someone out and try to assassinate him at all costs?"

Lin Bi was noncommittal, and said: "Do you think King Qi has a higher military strategy than Ting Fei?"

Guardian Xiao said in surprise: "How could your Highness ask this question? How can King Qi compare to a general? Not to mention that he has never been pleased by the general over the years, but in the hands of Prince Nanchude. , Didn’t he also return in a fiasco?"

Lin Bi sighed, and said: "The practical way of fighting is very complicated, but in fact it is just to lead elite soldiers and know how to advance and retreat. This is already a rare celebrity general. , There are only one or two people in the current world. Qi Wang is also a good military man. At that time, the famous generals, if they are on the battlefield, I am afraid that no one can come to the right of Qi Wang, and Da Yong’s iron cavalry elite is not in me. Under the Northern Han Army, King Qi was always suppressed by Ting Fei. Even in Southern Chu, he was defeated and returned because of his stubborn nature and eagerness to compete. Although this kind of temperament has some advantages, he often perseveres in defeat. When defeated in the battle, there will be a day of victory, but he often will not retreat, and even be taken by others. King Qi has a proud personality and is easily reluctant to convince others. If the person who advises him is not the one he admires, He often returns without success, so he can't beat Ting Fei after several years in northern Xinjiang, but the king of Qi does have the talents of generals, and after undergoing the change of seizure, his temperament tolerated a lot, and this was maintained. The stability of the northern border of the Great Yong Dynasty. I was not worried when I saw King Qi this time, because although his momentum is compelling, but his temperament is still stubborn and hard to change, and his heart is better than the idea of ​​survival, this palace I originally wanted to tell Ting Fei after he went back so that he could start in this direction.

However, after King Qi met Jiang Zhe, it was different. The stubborn mind became softer, and his temperament became much more cheerful. Even his former death ambition became vigorous. Wang is not what I want to see, and I am even more worried that Jiang Zhe will stay with Qi Wang. There is such a counselor that Qi Wang loves to advise him, and Ting Fei's pressure is too great. "

Xiao Huwei said: "His Royal Highness, isn't Jiang Zhe going back to Chang'an? We just want to prevent him from joining the army of King Qi."

Lin Bi smiled coldly and said: "I don't believe that Jiang Zhe will really go back to Chang'an. Under such circumstances, I'm afraid he will directly follow King Qi to the army. King Qi has a very domineering personality, I am afraid it is Jiang Zhe. If he wants to accompany Princess Changle back to Chang'an, he will not let go."

Xiao Huwei said in shock: "Impossible, but Master Cizhen came to preach the decree, can Jiang Zhe dare to go against the will of Emperor Yong, and he is not worried that Emperor Yong suspects him of colluding with King Qi?" /

Lin Bi smiled and said: "Did you see the imperial edict? Didn't you just hear the words of Master Cizhen? How do you know what the true will is? Besides, is Jiang Zhe a person who can obey the imperial edict?"

Xiao Huwei said: "Then what is your Highness planning?"

Lin Bi looked at the sky in the distance, and said, "I want to see if Jiang Zhe has the ability to enter the Da Yong army camp. King Qi and Jiang Zhe, you are all the confidants of my Northern Han Dynasty, I will never It’s easy for you to reach the battlefield. When a stranger meets and becomes a confidant, he sees this in the battlefield. Li Xian, Li Xian, do you still have a heart for life and death?"

As soon as the dawn broke through the thick clouds, the quiet wilderness was awakened by the crisp sound of horseshoes and wheels. On the empty official road, a four-wheeled carriage covered with a cyan curtain drove more than 400 knights. The guards moved forward briskly. The four hundred knights were divided into four teams. One team opened the way, the other team broke off, and the other two teams were guarding the carriage. The color of their armor is also divided into two colors, the two teams of knights guarding the carriage, one team is black and black armor, the other is red armor, and the two teams of knights before and after are all red armor. Anyone who knows the details of the Yong's army will be surprised if they see it, because no matter who they are in the Yong's army, they are basically wearing cyan armor, and the color is almost black, but except for one army, the others The army will never wear pure black armor. That army is the guard of King Yong. In addition, the guards of the King of Qi are in red armor, the guards of the Qin Yi Army prefer to wear white armor, and the Imperial Guards wear yellow armor. Now that the King of Yong has ascended the throne, the original imperial army was renamed Long Xiangwei, which is still responsible for guarding the imperial city, but the former Yongwang Guards were renamed the Tiger Guards, guarding the palace, and the dragons and tigers were also called the Forbidden Army. Shang Hei did not change his previous style because he was responsible for protecting the emperor. Nowadays, no one in Dayong knows that except for the Forbidden Army, not everyone can wear black armor. Then this knight with nearly a hundred people could only be the Tiger Guard, a close friend of Emperor Li Zhi. However, it was King Qi's guard who was protecting the carriage with them, and it was startling to doubt the identity of the person in the carriage.

I smiled and looked at the frowning King Qi, and said: "His Royal Highness, this time I ask Donghai Hou for help to block the East China Sea for half a month. Lin Bi definitely has no chance to send a letter back in advance. With strength, you should be able to return to your Highness’s camp safely. Why is your Highness worried?"

The king of Qi sighed and said, "I also believe that the Northern Han Dynasty cannot send the information out. I didn’t know until yesterday that you invited Lin Bi to restrict the actions of the Northern Han Dynasty, and then mobilize Donghaihou’s power to help. To prevent the North Han army from getting information in advance and ambush us on the road. After all, this road is only a few dozen miles away from the border. If the North Han cavalry ambushes on the road, it is difficult for us to escape. This area is close to the border. The military strength does not have the absolute upper hand, and I cannot mobilize too many troops to protect, so as not to be stunned or taken by others. But I brought three hundred guards, and the emperor sent a hundred tigers to be your relatives. Wei, with these four hundred cavalry, even if we encounter the enemy, we can find opportunities to break through or stand by for help. Besides, if there is no time to plan for a few days, I don’t believe that the Northern Han Dynasty has the ability to spread the net."

Speaking of this, King Qi laughed and said: "Speaking of which, you and the emperor are also cautious enough. Who would have thought that Hu Luwei was already waiting in Binzhou, and as soon as Master Cizhen arrived and Lin Bi left, you would immediately Let’s start, I’m afraid Lin Bi is still behind us, but now that Lin Bi has sent the news back, it’s too late."

I couldn't help asking: "If this is the case, why is your Royal Highness so worried? Is it because you are worried about Li Lin? There is Zhen'er to take care of him, don't you worry about it? Lin'er is still young, so you can't let it He is on the battlefield now. Let him follow Zhen'er back to Beijing this time. You don’t have to worry about it. You are protected by Master Cizhen along the way."

Li Xian frowned again and said, "I know Changle will protect Lin'er. I didn't worry about it, but somehow, I always feel that we have overlooked something? Although we temporarily cut off Lin Bihe The North Han’s intelligence channel, but the North Han has masters of the Demon Sect. If they have received the news, I am worried that they will ambush halfway. Suiyun you are not good at martial arts. If you encounter an enemy army, I am worried about your safety."

I chuckled and said: "This risk is always to be taken. This is the shortest way. You can get to the camp within five or six days. There will be 300,000 troops to protect you, so you don’t have to worry about it. Yes, even if you encounter an enemy army and have His Highness command to resist the enemy, Zhe is at ease. Besides, Xiao Shunzi will also walk with the army, and at the worst, he can protect me from the siege."

Li Xian's brows stretched slightly, which is strange to say. He also thought that Jiang Zhe's plan was very meticulous, but Li Xian noticed something strange along the way. There used to be Northern Han rides in this area, but this time the return trip However, none of them encountered each other, which made Li Xian feel that there was a danger that the mountains and rain would come and blow all over the building.

At this time, someone outside the car said: "His Royal Highness, Master Jiang, something is wrong, the scout sent out has no response."

Li Xian frowned, and said: "The terrain ahead is flat. It is the battlefield where the cavalry can exert their power. You must guard against it. Send two people. Don't ride horses. Go ahead and take a look." Go to the heavy iron armor, change into plain clothes, hide in the grass beside the road, and disappear into my sight in a blink of an eye.

I looked around through the window, and saw that in late autumn, the withered grass on both sides of the road was extremely high, the autumn wind blows, the waves are undulating, and the road is quite high, with oblique directions on both sides Extending downwards, it may not be able to tell even if you hide thousands of troops. I couldn't help but feel cold in my heart. Is there really an ambush? Could it be that I set up such a maze, hoping that they thought I was preparing to return to Chang'an, but they all failed? But in such a short time, how could they set up an ambush? Although the border of Dayong is almost undefended to the Northern Han Dynasty, it does not mean that they can enter Dayong without careful planning.

At this moment, there was a sharp brass whistle in front of me, and my heart trembled. It was the sirens from the scouts. They did not return quietly. It seems that they have encountered great danger. It seems that there are not only ambushes. , And I am afraid the scale is still very large.

The king of Qi heard the sirens, his eyebrows rose, he jumped out of the carriage, and turned on a fiery red war horse. The cavalry guarding were all well-trained sergeants, and quickly opened up a formation to meet the enemy's breakthrough. . A worried look appeared on Xiao Shunzi's face, who had been in charge of driving. He checked the horses that were driving and asked in a low voice: "My son, the carriage is too slow, I'm afraid it can't keep up. What should we do?"

When I was in danger, I calmed down and said calmly: "You and I are not good at directing. His Royal Highness Qi has to worry about these things. This carriage is made of stainless steel, and the carriage is surrounded by steel plates. As long as you protect the carriage, you don’t have to worry about my safety. After a while, you will also follow His Highness’s instructions. In this case, I’m afraid we will all die here if we don’t win by surprise."

At this time, King Qi has ordered a diversion to the territory of Dayong. It seems that he wants to rendezvous with the Yong army guarded in this area. At this moment, the horns sounded from all directions, and I had already removed the steel plate inside the car window. Blocked, looking out through the small window above the car door, I saw that the North Han cavalry appeared in the field of vision, people like tigers, horses like dragons, they interspersed and crisscrossed, and soon surrounded our army. . I calculated with my mind that there were at least three thousand enemy troops. This was definitely not a chance encounter. The army that entered the territory of Dayong in the Northern Han Dynasty was usually a small group of cavalry with about a hundred people. At this moment, I saw a big flag with red letters on a black background erected right in front of it, with a big "stone" written on it.

"Flying Tiger General Quartz," I heard King Qi shout loudly: "How dare you sneak into my Dayong territory and wreak havoc, but don't you see me Dayong in your eyes?"

A middle-aged general in his thirties, with a thin face and a grim expression, also said loudly: "Da Yong of the Northern Han Dynasty is an enemy country. His Royal Highness Qi does not know his self-respect, and he takes risks with ease. No wonder Shimou, today you are dead or alive. If you dismount and surrender, or I think you are noble and will not take your life." There was a sergeant wearing a Northern Han military uniform next to the general, with his visor down. I couldn’t see his face, I could see that sergeant was pointing in the direction of my carriage and saying something with superb eyesight~IndoMTL.com~ Then I saw the middle-aged general's eyes also fell on the carriage, that Binghan's gaze swept over, and I only felt cold all over. At this moment, the middle-aged general shouted loudly: "My sons, kill Li Xian for me, and capture the carriage. Who can bring me Li Xian's head, a reward of 100 jin, and who can capture the carriage for me? The people above, bounty daughter."

Then, the middle-aged general closed his upper armour, and Ma Jian in his hand took the lead and rushed down, while Qi Wang Li Xian smiled coldly, pointed the treasure in his hand forward and said loudly: "Break through!" After all, I noticed that the carriage started to run quickly. I quickly grasped the handle on the wall of the carriage, and the small window on the door was closed by Xiao Shunzi from the outside. The inside of the carriage was dark, and I couldn't see the battlefield outside, but I could feel the deafening shouts of killing all around.

At this moment, I smiled silently in the dark. I have figured out a lot of things, why Lin Bi is clearly behind us, but the ambush seems to have been waiting for a long time, just because I misestimated a person, Lu Can, it could only be Lu Can. He went to see Lin Bi not to form an alliance or anything, but to reach an agreement with Lin Bi. Nan Chu is responsible for the transmission of information, and the North Han is responsible for the ambush. No matter how resourceful I am, there is only one end to the army. Lin Bi and Lu Can both understand the truth of clumsy over cleverness. It's strange to say that I should have been sad. My first disciple, Lu Can, was so cruel and wanted to send my master into Huangquan. But there is a faint joy in my heart. In my opinion, Lu Can is a bit less cruel and stubborn, and now he can be said to be my proud disciple. Listening to the outside voice silently, I know I am of no use here. If I die here, I wonder if it will be a joke?
