Chapter 610: Advice
Liu Changben sighed and hesitated for a while:
"The minister thinks that it is not appropriate to advance at this time, but should retreat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
As soon as the words fell, the faces of everyone in the house became a little ugly.
At such a critical moment, Liu Changben said such a thing, which is tantamount to shaking the morale of the army.
If it weren't for his special status, if someone else said such a thing, Ling Xian would have been furious on the spot.
Although he didn't get angry, a killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a gentle smile:
"What do you mean by Aiqing?"
Liu Changben wanted to speak and stopped, looking at the loyal county king who was not smiling at this time, this county king has now established himself as the emperor, but in Liu Changben's heart, he is still the loyal county king of the year.
His self-reliant court was sparsely populated, and most of the 'ministers' present were just people with great ambitions and talents.
The Ling family's preparations were not sufficient, so Ling Xian hurriedly rebelled.
Liu Chang was not optimistic about him that day, but now it was just a premonition at the beginning, and now it has come true.
The old Zhongxin County King once had the grace of knowing him, and the person who was a confidant died, even though he had already seen that Ling Xian was already very impatient with him at this time, but Liu Changben gritted his teeth and arched his hand:
What Li Mi said is not unreasonable. It's just that you have never thought that you are in a hurry to take Youzhou, and you should cooperate with Qu Tingli and Waiwai, and within Youzhou, Qi Shao's thoughts are the same as yours. ”
After he said this, Ling Xian was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows furrowed.
At this time, Ling Xian was like a rabbit who was forced to bite people, but Qi Shao in Youzhou was similar.
As the middle-aged strategist said before, as long as he bent the thorn to break Youzhou, and then conspired with Ling Xian, he could turn against the men and horses led by Guo Han and Yu Zhaocheng, and then he might be able to win.
It is precisely because of this purpose that Ling Xian will definitely try his best to storm Youzhou.
But Qi Shao is similar.
Especially seeing that foreign aid is about to arrive now, he can only grit his teeth and resist desperately, survive these days, and when Guo Han and others lead the army to arrive, the predicament of Youzhou will naturally be solved.
"Youzhou is one of the ancient Kyushu, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Liu Changben said this, and paused for a moment: "If Qi Shao desperately defends the city, he only needs to survive for three or five days, and Guo and Yu lead the troops to come, and then the siege of Youzhou will be naturally resolved, but you will suffer from the enemy on your back, and the situation is comparable to today's Youzhou." ”
Even Ling Xian will be trapped in this Dingzhou City by then, which is even worse than Youzhou.
"Although Qu Thorn had an appointment with you at the beginning, he was not of my race, and his heart must be different. Once you fall into a predicament, the minister is only worried, Qu Thorn will retreat and flee from Youzhou a hundred miles away to avoid disasters. ”
He pointed out this fact, and everyone in the house fell silent.
What Liu Changben said is very likely to happen.
Before this, it was not that everyone in the mansion had not thought of it, but no one dared to say it at the risk of being rejected by Ling Xian.
Ling Xian took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed, he held back the killing intent in his heart, and his tone became more and more gentle:
"In this case, according to Liu Qing, what should I do now?"
"If there is no continuation, you will be troubled."
Liu Changben said: "When you started the incident, you were not well prepared. At the beginning, Rong Tuying's own selfishness hurt you to such a point. "And the current situation seems that everything Rong Tuying did that day is afraid that it will fall into the eyes of the emperor, and Rong Tuying will be punished if he is defeated, but it is a pity that the loyal king of the county that day is too anxious.
The two sons-in-law died one after another at the hands of Yan Chai, which made him feel deeply humiliated.
Coupled with the prodding of people with ulterior motives, the ambition that bred in his heart made him take a wrong step.
"Yichen guessed that when Yan chased and killed the two princes, I am afraid that he deliberately provoked you and forced you to rebel and use the power of Xijing to clear the capital."
Speaking of this, Liu Changben looked at Ling Xian's ugly face:
"If what the minister guessed is true, then ......" Ling Xian's final reversal is that he is afraid that he will fall into the trap of Yan Chai and Emperor Jia'an.
He didn't finish his words, but Ling Xian already understood the meaning of his words.
The house was terrifyingly quiet for a while, and everyone didn't dare to make a sound, and after a while, Ling Xian asked:
"And according to you, what should I do now?"
Liu Chang looked at him fixedly, Ling Xian smiled, his chin was extremely tight, and the beard on his lips was like a steel needle, and his eyes flickered, making people feel chills.
After looking at each other, Liu Changben took the lead in lowering his head, and smiled bitterly twice in his heart, even if there were old friends who had known each other in the past and kept eyeing at him, he still said word by word:
"You should abandon Dingzhou and go northwest, cross the Sanggan River, and pass through ......"
Liu Changben pointed to the deduced sand table, and said with a solemn expression: "Use this to escape from the pursuit of the Tang soldiers." ”
He didn't notice that when he opened his mouth to speak, the gloomy color in Ling Xian's eyes became heavier and heavier, and several subordinates who had always been good friends with him and worked together with the old Zhongxin County King in the past all glanced at each other one after another when they saw such a scene, and sighed silently.
"Going northwest?"
Ling Xian interrupted what Liu Changben said, and there was a hint of impatience in his words, obviously Liu Changben's tirade had already annoyed him at this time:
"What do you think?"
Everyone glanced at each other, to such a point, some people insisted on attacking the city, but some people thought that what Liu Changben said had a certain truth, Ling Xian should indeed take precautions, take advantage of Guo Han and the others did not attack Dingzhou, and leave this place first.
Dingzhou is not as good as Youzhou, the city wall is weak, if the army comes, it will be formed by someone to attack, and the king of Zhongxin County is afraid that it will be really difficult to escape.
Now the situation in Dingzhou is severe, and in the case of Taiyuan and Xijing, Guo Han and others can go to Dingzhou at any time.
The deliberations lasted for most of the day, and it was not until the eldest son of the faithful prince came in that the deliberations came to an end.
The king of Zhongxin got up and went out, and the rest of the strategists also left in twos and threes, but Liu Changben sat on the chair and did not move, and an old man wearing a green shirt and a sparse beard saw that everyone had left, so he leaned over to Liu Changben:
"In this situation, you know that the king of the county is ...... What is the emperor's thoughts, but why bother to distract him from you by saying things he doesn't want to hear? ”
The old man was one of the henchmen of the old Zhongxin County King when he was alive, and he was also the same as Liu Changben back then, and he was deeply valued by the old Zhongxin County King.
After the death of the old Zhongxin County King, these former henchmen of the Ling family naturally stayed in Xijing and obeyed Ling Xian's dispatch.
Liu Changben looked at the sand table placed in front of him, remembering Ling Xian's flickering gaze before, he smiled, and reached out to bulldoze the route map of the march that he had drawn with his fingers before:
"Advice against words." (To be continued.) )
