44, Jia Wenhe
"That's right, it's Chang'an!"
Li Ru stroked the short beard under his jaw proudly. He remembered Yan Xing and said that when he heard that the army had gone out to suppress the rebellion in the spring, he couldn't help but say:
"The prime minister has not yet made up his mind to meet the various states and counties in Kanto. Don't believe rumors easily. You are still young and have a lot of martial arts and strategies. You are a talent available in the army. After a little hardship, you may not be able to transfer military merits to any side and become a county general of 2,000 stones!"
After a pause, Li Ru continued:
"Therefore, you should not act like a military man in the army. You only know how to kill bandits and seek credit, but you don't know how to advance and retreat. The military strategy also says, "The superior army attacks the plan, secondly attacks the diplomatic relations, secondly attacks the army, and attacks the city below." King Xiang won every battle, and was defeated at Gaixia, and died and his reputation was divided by others. Emperor Gaozu used his great wisdom to plan the country, chased Fan Zeng, and surrendered to Ying Bu. Although he was defeated by Xiang Yu many times, he could eventually unify the world. In this plan, the precedent of the city was clearly seen."
"Since ancient times, those who can assist the country and the people are those who are clear-cut military power such as Han Xin and Zhou Yafu, who know how to attack and defend, rather than those who shout with their arms and only know how to kill the enemy, Fan Kuai and Guan Fu!"
Yan Xing was the confidant selected by Li Ru among the surrendered generals. He was brave and courageous, and even better because he had no background in the Dongying camp to rely on, and could only rely on Li Ru's help and support to facilitate Li Ru's control.
Since Li Ru wanted to support Yan Xing as a general in the Dong army, he also had a general in the army who could hold troops as his confidant. Just like the principle of cunning rabbits, he could also adapt to the inside and the outside, and echo the inside and the outside. This is the way to consolidate power and be good at self-planning to win in troubled times.
That's why Li Ru thought about it in his heart and explained these principles to Yan Xing. Yan Xing naturally said that he was taught by the head, and Li Ru then returned to the topic of Chang'an that he had originally talked about with satisfaction.
"Now Guandong is just a disease of scabies. The previous central arrangement has taken effect. Zhang Zi, Yuan Shu, Han Fu and Yuan Shao are hindering each other, and things will be difficult to accomplish. The rest, such as Kong Yichang, Jiao He, Zhang Miao, etc., are unable to bear the responsibility. Only Huangfu Song and Gai Xun, who are the three servants, can be called confidants. They are all important generals of the state dynasty, and the soldiers and horses used to guard Sanfu and protect the imperial tombs are also elite troops. If these two people cause chaos in the Sanfu, Luoyang will be in danger!"
Yan Xing looked at the copper beans representing Chang'an on the table, and the situation was clear at a glance.
Now Chang'an is the first move for the battle between the enemy and us. If Huangfu Song and Gai Xun cannot be eliminated in time, once the wars in Guandong are in the next year, these two men will lead the troops of the Three Auxiliary Land to join the coalition forces to attack Dong Zhuo, then the Luoyang land will be trapped in the east and west attacks.
At that time, Dong Zhuo would be like a tiger trapped in Luoyang, struggling and running around. As long as the war on the east and west sides was defeated, the enemy would immediately face the city of Luoyang and a complete collapse would immediately occur.
On the contrary, if Dong Zhuo's side could take the lead and attack Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and others from the east and west sides to solve Huangfu Song and Gai Xun who were in the middle of the three auxiliary places, then they could connect Liangzhou, Sanfu and Sanhe areas to one place, and use the complete power of Guanxi prefectures and counties to quell the rebellions of the various prefectures and counties in Guandong.
I heard that Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were a pair of mortal enemies. Dong Zhuo was eaten by Huangfu Song at the time of the Three Assistants and was very afraid of Huangfu Song's ability to use troops. Then contact what Li Ru just said that he should be a general who knew the power of the army, and was a general who knew the offensive and defense, rather than shouting at the rash man who only knew how to kill the enemy. Yan Xing thought about it and said tentatively:
"What the court means to summon Huangfu Song and Gai Xun to return to the court?"
Li Ru nodded, but then frowned again and said:
"Huangfu Song is like Jiang Gui's nature, and he is so old that he is even more sexy. It is not easy to summon him back to the court this time!"
When Dong Zhuo was summoned to the capital as the Shaofu, he deliberately raised the enemy and refused to be summoned to the capital under the pretext of the war in the land of Sanfu. Now, Huangfu Song can be like Dong Zhuo, using the excuse of Sanfu or Liangzhou rebels to watch the affairs of Guandong Prefecture and County, and then raise an army to fight with Yuan Shao and others to jointly attack Dong Zhuo in Luoyang. No matter what the outcome of the battle was, he himself could be invincible.
Moreover, with Huangfu Song's ability to use troops, not only did Hu Zhen, who advanced east from Liangzhou, but Yang Ding was not his opponent. I am afraid that even if Dong Zhuo personally led the army to conquer, he would not be fully sure to win the joint efforts of the two important generals Huangfu Song and Gai Xun.
Yan Xing was thinking about these important military and national affairs, so why did Li Ru mention it to him?
In an instant, Yan Xing deduced several possibilities in his mind. Li Ru seemed to be unaware of Yan Xing's changes in his mind. He continued:
"So, when summoning him to Beijing, you still have to make another preparation. Yanming, do you understand?"
"Mr. Li has his own will, and Yan should follow him!"
"Haha, someone advised the Prime Minister to follow the example of the Xinling Jun Wei Wuji seizing military power and lobbying Huangfu Song for giving up military power to enter the capital. But if this matter fails, he will have to rely on the iron attack of the knight Zhu Hai!"
Xinling Jun used Hou Sheng's plan to steal the talisman to save Zhao, and went to the Wei army camp, asking the Wei army general Jin Bi to hand over the military power and return to the court to report. Jin Bi was the longest general of Wei State. He quickly became suspicious of Xinling Jun's talisman and was unwilling to hand over the military power immediately. As a result, Xinling Jun saw that the lobbying with words was ineffective, he had to let the accompanying knight Zhu Hai wave the big iron spine, kill Jin Bi on the spot, take over the military power, and then complete the righteous act of rescue Zhao State.
Yan Xing was also good at using Iron Spin and could kill galloping horses. Li Ru's meaning was obvious. Someone volunteered to lobby Huangfu Song and hand over military power and enlisted into the capital. Li Ru was worried that the lobbying would fail. In case, he wanted to join the group of envoys who summoned Huangfu Song to Beijing. When he was absolutely necessary, he waved the Iron Spin to kill Huangfu Song on the spot and took over all the troops of Sanfu.
If Huangfu Song is successfully lobbying, the matter will naturally end like this. But if the lobbying fails, then Yan Xing waves the iron spine to kill Huangfu Song on the spot. This has to be said to be a big thing that shocks the world. Yan Xing will eventually become famous all over the world because of this spine. If he can survive under the sword of the armored soldiers, his wealth and honor will naturally be at his fingertips.
But Yan Xing naturally did not want to go deep into the tiger's den and risked to do such a thing as "save Zhao Huijin Mat, Handan was shocked first". He was not a butcher Zhu Hai in the market, and he didn't want such a heroic reputation at all.
Li Ru looked at Yan Xing's face, suddenly laughed again, and said:
"Is Yanming afraid? It's just a joke. How could I let my confidant warrior act as a first-class assassin for Zhu Hai?"
"In this matter, Huangfu Song is loyal to the Han Dynasty. If he is recruited now, he will be able to successfully enter the capital with a little lobbying. But the Prime Minister and I are worried that some people around Huangfu Song are not willing to give up their power easily. In order to prevent it, they have to send a wise and brave confidant general to accompany him on mission!"
Li Ru's concern is not unreasonable. Even if Huangfu Song was loyal to the Han Dynasty and was willing to enlist in Beijing and become a pure minister of the Han Dynasty, the people around him all rely on the power in Huangfu Song's hands and may not be willing to give up their military power. Then they became fish on Dong Zhuo's chopping board together.
If someone takes the opportunity to assassinate the envoy who went to summon Huangfu Song to the capital, or take Huangfu Song hostage and raise an uprising, then the chaos in these three auxiliary places will be completely out of control.
With a confidant, he can indeed add a guarantee for successful recruitment.
It's just why it's myself.
As if to explain the confusion to Yan Xing, Li Ru continued:
"And this confidant general must be both civil and military, both wise and brave, and at the same time be extremely courageous. He can make a decision immediately at a critical moment and quell the chaos. More importantly, he must not be famous in order to successfully intervene in and out of the crowd."
Yan Xing was already mostly immune to such words that were both wining and suggestive, and only intercepted the important points, he asked:
"I don't know who is the person who lobbyed Huangfu Song this time?"
Li Ru restrained his expression, looked at Yan Xing's eyes, looked solemn, and said:
Chapter completed!
