Chapter 371 Asking for a plan is like a good plan

Du Ruhui walked to the sand table map, picked up the short wooden ruler on the table, pointed to the Luoyang area on the map, and continued:

"Although the Luoyang Imperial Court claims to be orthodox in the Great Sui, there are not many places it can really govern, except for Luoyang City, there are only some surrounding counties, and if they want to develop, they must expand outward.

Marshal, look!

After General Li Jing took Nanyang Champion County, the south and southwest of Luoyang had been firmly occupied by us, and the north and northwest had already been Li Tang's territory.

And the strength of our two families is not comparable to Luoyang, Wang Shichong wants to develop, and can only choose Xingyang County in the east in a short time.

And Li Mi, known as the King of Wei, is also the same, and his current territory is only Xingyang County, as well as some surrounding counties.

The difference is that to the east and south of him is the territory of our allies, and to the north is under the jurisdiction of Li Tang of Chang'an.

Similarly, in front of our two families, Li Mi's strength is too weak, and he doesn't dare to provoke our two families now, so if he wants to expand and develop his strength, he can only go west to Luoyang.

Li Mi is very ambitious, and it can be seen from his recent secret preparations for the enthronement ceremony that a Wei king cannot satisfy him.

And the same is true of Wang Shichong of Luoyang, it can be seen from his increasing power and authority in the Luoyang court that he will not be satisfied with the identity of a King Zheng, and once the time is ripe in the future, he will definitely be self-reliant.

However, the current territory of the two of them is too small, their influence is insufficient, and their strength is not enough to support them to go further, so if they want to expand their strength further, they must destroy each other and swallow each other's territory, so as to expand their own influence, so that they will have the capital to change the dynasty and become emperor.

And from Li Mi's recent secret preparations for the enthronement ceremony of the dynasty, it can also be seen that Li Mi is already a little anxious, and the last general estimates that it will not be long before he will lead the army to take the initiative to attack Luoyang City.

Moreover, his strength is several times that of Luoyang Wang Shichong, if nothing else, he has the greatest chance of winning in the end!

However, no matter which side wins the final victory, the winning side will take the winner-takes-all, will take over the opponent's territory, and take advantage of this opportunity to change the dynasty and become emperor! ”

Speaking of this, Du Ruhui stopped, put down the short wooden ruler in his hand and looked at Su Shang and the others quietly, and stopped talking.

With Du Ruhui's detailed analysis, Li Yixing could already guess the final outcome of the battle, and Su Shang, who had the experience of the dream world, was even more so.

After the battle between Li Mi and Wang Shichong, the winner was proclaimed emperor by Sui Sui, and then he could attack Luoyang City in the name of crusading against rebellion.

And his own army can easily attack Luoyang City with gunpowder and the elite of the soldiers.

And when the time comes, once the family gate lords in Luoyang City do not turn to support themselves, they can also change the rapid destruction of the city to a siege battle.

The army only besieges but does not attack, hundreds of thousands of people eat horses and chew, and there is no external source, and in the long run, Wang Shichong's money and grain will be consumed, and then Wang Shichong will be forced to let the people in the city donate money and food in order to hold on to the city for a long time.

As long as it is repeated, the two sides will have a conflict, and Wang Shichong, who is already desperate at that time, will definitely choose some big families as the objects of prestige, and continue to support the army by exterminating the clan and making money.

In this way, as long as his army has been besieged for a long time, he can perfectly borrow a knife to kill people, and use Wang Shichong's hand to teach a hard lesson to the gate lord family in the city.

After waiting for the big families in the city to suffer heavy losses and have no way to escape, he will personally lead the army to break through the city gate and enter the city as a savior, and then he can collect the hearts and minds of the people of Luoyang City!

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the top wise man in the Sui Wei and early Tang Dynasties! Even if they have the experience of the dream world, they are still not as good as them!

Su Shang secretly praised in his heart, nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, it's a good strategy, if Brother Hao, you can solve a big problem for me!"

After speaking, Su Shang humbly asked again: "Since this is the case, then our next action will be to clean up the south and the Bashu area!"

However, whether it is Xiao Mo of Baling, Lin Shihong of Yuzhang, or Du Fuwei of Liyang, the soldiers under their command are all relatively elite, and under the strong attack, our soldiers may suffer heavy casualties!

What is the best way to do it? ”

Du Ruhui pondered for a while before he spoke slowly: "Judging from the information obtained, on the side of Xiao Milling in Baling, Xiao Mill's own direct force is not very strong, and he was able to establish a dynasty and become emperor, more thanks to his identity as a descendant of Xiao Liang."

In terms of strength, his generals Dong Jingzhen, Lei Shimeng and other generals are much stronger than him.

Therefore, to deal with Baling Xiao Milling, we can use a divisive strategy to provoke them to civil strife, and then they will be self-defeating! ”

Su Shang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he nodded with a smile, approving Du Ruhui's strategy!

The strong ministers and weak lords are indeed the trouble of civil strife, and Xiao Mo in history is really suspicious by nature and cannot tolerate people. In order to regain military power, he successively designed to remove and kill Dong Jingzhen, Zhang Rust and other generals, and the country of Bashu Xiaoliang was finally defeated by the civil strife of the monarch and ministers, and was taken advantage of by Li Tang.

"Yuzhang Lin Shihong, we can start with his son..."

Su Shang then remembered that a few days ago, Li Yixing handed him an intelligence book about Yuzhang Lin Shihong, which included the two people who were highlighted, Lin Zhen and Lin Rust.

Lin Zhen and Lin Rust are Lin Shihong's eldest son and third son respectively. However, these two people are seriously at odds, and they are fighting in private.

Although Lin Zhen is the prince of the world, he is usually in charge of government affairs, and there are many civil servants and politicians around him, but Lin Ru is holding tens of thousands of troops to fight outside, and he has also made a lot of achievements, and naturally there are many loyal generals around him, so the two can also fight equally.

And Lin Shihong also prefers Lin Rust, and there has been news that Lin Rust has been changed to the son of the world. It can be said that Lin Rust has seriously threatened Lin Zhen's status as the prince.

Isn't the relationship between Lin Zhen and Lin Rust the same as that of the brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin in history?

The two brothers were at odds with each other, but they were respectively responsible for internal affairs and military affairs, and both sides gathered a group of loyal civil and military generals.

Isn't this the cause of another version of the "Xuanwumen Change"? It is certain that once Lin Shihong changes in the future, the two will inevitably stage another version of the "Xuanwumen Change".

"As for Liyang's Du Fuwei, the last general thinks that there is no need to worry too much!

Du Fuwei is a talent, and his ability to govern the army and government is good! He started his army relatively early, and he was in the land of fish and rice, and the rebel army organization under his command could have become the top three rebels in the world, but in the past few years, he has been willing to lie in the Jianghuai area, and has not developed into counties outside the Jianghuai.

It can be seen from here that Du Fuwei did not have much ambition, and he organized and led the rebel army more to protect the family and the people, rather than to chase the world!

Moreover, he has also accepted the recruitment of the imperial court before and has been rewarded by the imperial court, which shows that he still has a certain recognition of the imperial court.

The marshal might as well send an envoy to surrender to him in the name of the Great Sui court! ”
