Chapter 854: Coincidentally killing someone with a borrowed knife
In the hinterland of Luoyang, there are many recruit camps established by Huangfu Song. There are no less than thousands of soldiers among them. However, Zhang Fei leads only 3,000 people. Of these 3,000 people, most of them are left scattered.
They were waiting for the uprising in all directions, so there must not be many manpower left. The available troops were shockingly small, and they had to clear out many official and military camps. Just listening to Zhang Fei's description, Li Mengxi found it extremely difficult.
On the map, around Luoyang City, the distribution locations of the official and military camps at that time are marked in detail.
After careful observation, I found that the government and army camps were too scattered, one in the east and one in the west, in a mess.
From the point of view of the art of war, it is a good thing for the officers and soldiers to disperse their camps, because their troops are dispersed and it is easy to annihilate them one by one. However, you must know that the situation at that time was that if something went wrong and an army riot was needed, all the camps could only be destroyed in an instant with the force of thunder.
If they are all pulled out, if there is a slight delay, if the court is alerted too early, the success will be ruined.
Li Mengxi lowered his head, tilted his chin, frowned, and stared at the map in front of him of the military strongholds around Luoyang City. He looked back and forth many times, but he still didn't think of any good way to solve it.
He raised his head and asked Zhang Fei, "Third General, after you have three thousand sergeants scattered and lurking in various places, how many available troops do you still have?"
"At most three hundred." Zhang Fei said.
With only three hundred soldiers, it was necessary to overthrow all the seven camps of the government and army in one day or even half a day. Each of these seven camps had hundreds of soldiers, and the seven camps were far apart from each other.
With three hundred soldiers, it would be difficult to capture even one camp, let alone seven in a row, let alone within half a day.
Li Mengxi was thinking a lot. He thought that even if he had a rocket launcher battalion, he would not be able to completely annihilate these seven camps in one day. It would be too difficult to accomplish without manpower.
Li Mengxi was very sure that it was impossible to complete this impossible task by normal means. If the direct attack was not possible, he could only use strange attacks, such as water, fire...
While Li Mengxi was racking his brains on the map to study the method of defeating the enemy, Liu Guan, Zhang and Jian Yong were watching him quietly with smiles on their faces. The four were curious. They wanted to see if Li Mengxi could crack the enemy by himself.
This dilemma.
Li Mengxi thought of the fire attack method. Fire attack is not difficult. He has three hundred soldiers in his hand. He only needs to ask the soldiers to collect enough firewood, and then burn all the army camps overnight. Only this method can
There are seven villages in between.
He breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head. Li Mengxi was about to tell everyone about this method of defeating the enemy. As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Mengxi realized a problem.
The fire attack had to wait until night. Only in the dead of night, when everyone was quiet, could we secretly burn all seven camps of the army with a small number of people and a large amount of firewood.
But, what if the incident happened during the day, if news was suddenly received during the day that Liu Bei had been captured and imprisoned, and if a riot suddenly had to occur during the day, the seven official and military camps standing in front of them would have to
They were quickly removed on the same day. Zhang Fei only had 300 troops in his hand, and the other troops were scattered everywhere. In the daytime, without the cover of night, it was impossible to attack calmly.
Li Mengxi realized that the fire attack method had a certain possibility of destroying seven villages in one night, but this method was not perfect.
If fire attack is not possible, water attack is needed. If you look closely at the geography around Luoyang, where the government and army camps are located, there are no conditions for water attack. Moreover, even if there are conditions for water attack, water attack is a huge project and requires a long time to prepare.
Things are tight in Luoyang City and there is not enough preparation time. The water attack method cannot be used.

Neither water nor fire can be used. Li Mengxi thought of other strange attack methods, including poisoning and plague.
Poison was easy to use. He sent people to sneak into the enemy's camps and dropped the poison. All the soldiers and horses in the seven camps were killed overnight.
But this method has the same embarrassment as the fire attack method. The fire attack method can only be used at night and cannot be used during the day. The same goes for poisoning. It cannot easily penetrate the enemy camp during the day.
And if he had started early, he would have poisoned the officers and soldiers of Qizhai directly without waiting for the court to arrest Liu Bei in prison, which would have directly cleared the immediate obstacle.
However, since then, it is bound to be a warning early, and all the troops in Qizhai will be poisoned. The imperial court will immediately know that there is a big conspiracy, and will immediately mobilize troops and horses from all directions to defend Luoyang City. This is good, poisoning the officers and soldiers of Qizhai
It was to reduce resistance during the uprising. As a result, the officers and soldiers of Qizhai were destroyed on the front foot, and thousands of elites were attracted to the court on the back foot. It also made the court vigilant and heavily guarded. This was obviously not worth the gain.
Li Mengxi clearly realized that the key was not only to eradicate the officers and soldiers of Qizhai, but also to eradicate the troops of Qizhai without disturbing the court.
On the premise of not alerting the court, poisoning could only be done once. If only one village was poisoned, the court thought that the soldiers and horses in that village had a bad stomach after eating dirty water, so it would not arouse suspicion.
In the same way, fire attack can be used in advance, but it can only be used once.
If a fire breaks out in a certain camp, the imperial court will think that the fire was caused by the negligence of the night watchmen, and will not cause any alarm.
Of the seven imperial villages, two have been eliminated.
There are still five villages left, but Li Mengxi can't think of any strange attack method that can be used without anyone noticing.
While his thoughts were racing, Li Mengxi suddenly thought that the seven military forts were built by Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song was so majestic. This guy led the troops to destroy the Yellow Turbans and saved the Han Dynasty, which was in danger. It was really embarrassing.
He is the minister of humerus in the imperial court.
Li Mengxi sneered in his heart. If he wanted to frame the minister of humerus in the last years of the dynasty, it shouldn't be too easy.
Li Mengxi thought of Yue Wumu who had suffered a death, Yu Qian who had suffered a death, and Zhongliang who had been framed and died in all dynasties.
In today's Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling is fatuous and treacherous. Huangfu Song has already become a thorn in the eyes of countless people because of his high power. All it takes is a little push to frame Huangfu Song and destroy the new army camp that Huangfu Song established.
It shouldn't be difficult if they are framed together.
There is a way to uproot all the seven strongholds of the army in one day without alarming the imperial court and without wasting a single soldier.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Mengxi raised his head with a look on his face. He glanced at Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and said, "I have a way to eradicate the seven villages of the government and the army.
Fa Wei is a plan to kill with a borrowed knife.
Our troops are insufficient, and we are worried about catching the enemy by alerting them.
In this case, why not borrow the help of the imperial court? With the help of the imperial court, there will be no shortage of troops, and there will be no need to worry about arousing the enemy."
"Rumors were spread in Luoyang City. Rumors first spread about the strange scene in Huangfu Song's house [dogs with long horns and purple clouds in the courtyard].
Later, when there were many rumors, rumors spread again that Huangfu Song was very popular among the people, and his reputation for benevolence and righteousness was widely spread in the countryside.
Then, people can pretend to be traders and sell wine and meat in front of the official and military camp set up by Huangfu Song. No matter whether the official soldiers in the camp buy the wine and meat in full or take it by force, after selling the wine and meat, they rush to the government and howl about Huangfu Song's soldiers.
He is ruthless and tyrannical and robs the people's wealth. It would be best if everyone who caused this incident knows about it and the whole city is in trouble.
Presumably, at the time when the rumors were swirling, the imperial court was worried about the horned dog in Huangfu Song's family, which filled the courtyard with purple energy, and was also worried about Huangfu Song's outstanding military skills and popularity among the people. Just when the people came to ask for help, the situation was so tiring, and the arrow was already in the string.
.
Then, he secretly encouraged the traitors in the court and Huangfu Song's political enemies to take the opportunity to attack. The traitors hated Huangfu Song's achievements, the political enemies took a look at Huangfu Song's position, the general He Jin coveted Huangfu Song's soldiers, and the Ling Emperor was afraid of Huangfu Song's high achievements and shocked the master.
All parties join forces to launch an attack, and Huangfu Song will be captured and imprisoned soon.
When Huangfu Songwen was beheaded, he established seven military strongholds and trained thousands of new soldiers, but they were all implicated. Thousands of officers and soldiers died or dispersed, and they were all wiped out in one day."
As he finished speaking, Li Mengxi had a slight smile on his face and looked indifferent.
Liu Guan, Zhang and Jian Yong looked at each other, and all four of them were shocked.
Everyone had always regarded Li Mengxi as a gentleman, but they did not expect that Li Mengxi would persecute people in such an insidious and terrifying way.
The reason why Mr. Li had so many ways to frame Zhongliang and kill people with knives was because he had seen more than two thousand years of history than Liu Guanzhang and others. Mr. Li had only seen more of the feudal dynasty's cruelty to Zhongliang.
Before the Han Dynasty, there was the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin Yingzheng did not harm the heroes. Before the Qin Dynasty, there were hundreds of years of chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
None of the kings of the country dares to harm the loyal and the good, but anyone who dares to do so will have the talented people in the country to defect to other countries.
During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu did not frame Zhongliang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not, and Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty did not, Liu Xiu.
In the long history before the Han Dynasty, there were probably few cases of framing loyal ministers, but after the Han Dynasty, there were countless similar incidents. Therefore, Li Mengxi knew more methods of framing loyal ministers than Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
The predicament in Luoyang that day was easily solved by Li Mengxi who borrowed a knife to kill people, and everyone was filled with emotion.
This move of borrowing a sword to kill was the same as what Jian Yong used at that time. However, Jian Yong was not so ruthless. Jian Yong just used He Jin's hand to let the guard of one of the seven villages and He Jin's clan brother He Pu attack all the other soldiers.
The entire fort was swallowed up, thereby limiting the possibility of the seven military forts taking the initiative to attack in case of emergency.
He Pu has no courage. He controls the soldiers and horses of the seven villages. When Zhang Fei raises his troops and sweeps across the four realms, He Pu defends the camp and does not dare to attack. He will just sit and wait until Zhang Fei sweeps into hundreds of thousands of people. He does not dare to attack.
What's the difference between thousands of officers and soldiers and none?
Jian Yong's method of breaking the situation was already excellent, but he did not expect that Li Mengxi's method of breaking the situation was even more ruthless. If Li Mengxi's plan was successful, Zhang Fei would not need to take action, and the imperial court would kill all the soldiers and horses of the seven villages.
