Chapter 221 Specifying Strategic Directions
The next day, Li Shan was invited to the palace by Pi Luo Ge again, this time to discuss the specific details of the battle.
Pi Luo Ge has a total of about 30,000 troops, which is the largest among the six edicts, and in recent years, Pi Luo Ge has reorganized his army and fought strongly, and his strength can fight with the elite of the Tubo army.
Moreover, the generals under Pi Luo Ge are also fierce generals with one enemy and one hundred, and standing in front of Li Shan, Li Shan can feel the murderous aura on them. In contrast, Li Shan felt that the generals of the Tang Dynasty were still more bookish and less angry.
As for the other edicts, Qing'er has already figured out the strength and distribution of each edict, and Qing'er's previous gift to Nanzhao is the detailed map of the distribution of the five edicts, and he offered a strategy to break the five edicts, which also made Pi Luo Ge look at Qing'er differently and named her a national teacher.
Pi Luo Ge sat in front of him, Li Shan and Qing'er were on his left and right, and more than a dozen generals sat down in turn.
Pi Luo Ge looked around at a few people: "I have been fighting hard for several years, and I finally have the opportunity to make a contribution. This time, we will gradually devour the other five edicts, and finally unify our six edicts to establish a complete country. Soldiers, do you have faith? ”
The generals clenched their fists and pounded the table, Pi Luoge raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, pointed at Qing'er and said, "Now please ask the national teacher to explain our strategic plan for us." ”
Qing'er clapped her hands, two subordinates came over, unfolded a map made of cowhide and spread it on the desk, Qing'er pointed to the map and said: "The Yue Xi Zhao is the first place we want to break, and breaking the Yue Xi Zhao will open our rendezvous route with the Tang Army, and the Yue Xi Zhao is in our rear, and destroying the Yue Xi Zhao is to stabilize our rear." ”
Although the generals under Pi Luo Ge are said to be brave and good at fighting, they don't know anything about the art of war. I don't know what method Qing'er used before, these people admired Qing'er very much, and Qing'er said that these people nodded and seemed to be very obedient.
Li Shandao: "It is indeed a good choice to destroy the Yue Xi Zhao first, but the Yue Xi Zhao also has a lot of troops. And there are also neighbors next to it. When it comes to strength, the more the edict is second only to the edict of Mengshe, if we act like this, it is difficult to ensure that the other edicts will not die and the fox will fight to the death. If we can take the edict of Yue Xi for a while, it's fine, but if we can't take it, we will definitely suffer from the enemy. ”
Qing'er nodded and winked at Li Shan secretly, as if to say, you are not so stupid.
"The soldiers are treacherous, although there are a lot of troops in the edict, but there is a big hidden danger. Most of the troops of the Yue Xi Zhao were in the hands of the Zhao King, but some of them were really in the hands of Zhang Xun. So we can make them fight themselves with just a small discord meter. Fight and lose. When the time comes, Zhang will definitely ask for help from the outside world, whether it is to us or to your Tang Dynasty, they have given us a chance. In this way, wouldn't the edict be at your fingertips? ”
Li Shan was a little stupid when he heard that Zhang was looking for this name, he had just killed his son, but he didn't expect to use him again now. However, looking at Zhang Zishan's evil appearance, he knew that his father was not a good person, and it was not bad to take advantage of it.
Li Shan asked, "How to implement this divisive plan?" They wouldn't be so prone to infighting, would they? Goblin lips and teeth are cold. They should understand. ”
Qing'er smiled slyly, took out a secret letter and said: "This is what I got not long ago, it is a letter from the wife of the Yue Xi Zhao Wang Bochong to Zhang Xun, this letter can prove that these two people have an adulterous relationship. Just let Bo Chong know about it. Then we are getting Zhang to be prepared, and there will be a big battle on both sides. ”
Li Shan also smiled and said: "The national teacher has a good strategy, but I can add the icing on the cake to this strategy." A few days ago, I also got the news that Zhang Zishan, the son of Zhang Xun, was killed. The killer has not yet been found. If we let Zhang Qiu know that his son was actually killed by King Zhao, wouldn't the two sides be incompatible? ”
Li Shan's news is of course the latest, and others don't know about it at all. Even Qing'er was taken aback, she didn't expect such an unexpected joy. But looking at Li Shan's appearance, Qing'er knew that this must have been met by him on the way here.
Pi Luo Ge saw that the national teacher and Li Shan, you will die with a word and I will calculate the Yue Xuan to death, it is really happy. He was even more impressed by the intelligence of the two, and said with a smile: "The wisdom of the two is admired by the king, and the great cause of the king can be achieved with the help of two of them." The national teacher can use troops as boldly as possible, and this king has absolute trust in you. ”
Out of the palace, Li Shan asked, "Qing'er, how did you make Pi Luo Ge dare to hand over the military power to you?" If it were me, I wouldn't dare to hand over the military power to an outsider. ”
Qing'er smiled: "Pi Luo Ge is not stupid, don't look at him on the surface so trusting me, in fact, he secretly sent a lot of people to spy on me, even if I have the power of the army, but Pi Luo Ge's prestige in the army is not something I can shake." As long as he raised his arms and shouted, all the soldiers and civilians of Nanzhao would follow him. ”
Li Shan also felt this when he came to Nanzhao, Pi Luo Ge not only had ambitions, but also deep Nanzhao people's hearts, under his leadership, the people of Nanzhao were high-spirited, and they all had the determination to annex the other five edicts.
"Isn't it harder for you to want to replace it? You must know that the will of the people is the right way, if you can't win the hearts of the people, even if you kill Pi Luoge, it will be difficult to order the Nanzhao army and people. If you don't get it right, you will burn yourself. Li Shan was a little worried.
Qing'er looked at Li Shan and smiled, "What? Worried about me? You just put your heart in your stomach, I have my own way. But I need your cooperation, although the Nanzhao army is strong, but without your 50,000 Tang army, he will definitely not be able to take the other five edicts. I need to keep draining their vitality in this battle and wipe out all the leaders of the Six Edicts, so that I can have a chance to build a new nation with the Six Edicts. ”
Li Shan touched his chin and paced slowly, and said for a while: "If you want to gather the hearts of the people, the best way is to use religious propaganda. There is no religion in the Liuzhao region, and there are many ethnic groups, if you can appear in people's field of vision with a miracle and make people think that you are a god descending from earth, it will definitely help you gather people's hearts. It's better to start creating public opinion now, and it will work wonders in the future. ”
Throughout the ages, how many emperors have come like this, Han Gaozu Liu Bang beheaded the Red Dragon Uprising, and Li Yuan's nursery rhymes when he opposed the Sui Dynasty, weren't they all deliberately spread to create momentum?
Qing'er tilted her head and looked at Li Shan and said with a smile: "I always thought you were a fool before, but I didn't expect you to have so many unique opinions on this aspect, and you are really unseemly!" That's a good idea, and it aligns with mine. ”
Li Shan feigned anger and said, "Who are you talking about?" Don't forget that I'm still your master, no big or small, dare to commit a crime. Don't admit your mistake yet. ”
Qing'er didn't give Li Shan face at all, and said trickly: "Oh, yes? Who can prove it? Are you my master? Think beautifully! (To be continued.) )
