Although the famous scholar Xun Kai was not angry that the two princes would not be saved when they saw death, he knew that now that the Xun family was tied to the chariot of the king of the East China Sea, he could only do his best to plan for it, only in this way could the Xun family obtain huge benefits after the war.

So after everyone left the king of Hejian, Xun Kai gave the king of the East China Sea an idea, "Since the king is unwilling to merge the state soldiers to be involved in the Sizhou war, it is better to let the state soldiers directly send troops to Pingyang and Hedong counties, and it is best to take Puban." As long as Kasaka is taken, it is equivalent to opening the door to Guanzhong, and it can fundamentally threaten the rule of the crown prince. ”

"This has three major advantages for our army: first, the imperial court Guanzhong is empty, and it is very likely that the state army will take Guanzhong with the help of the Hun cavalry; Second, once Guanzhong is taken, it will completely subvert the foundation of the prince's rule; 3. If the Bingzhou army can take Pingyang and Hedong counties and threaten Pusaka, it will definitely be able to force the prince of Hujiao Pass to return to the army, after all, Guanzhong cannot afford to lose for the prince. ”

"And in this way, we can be regarded as having an explanation for the king of Chengdu, so that the other vassal kings will not have a grudge against the king. After all, for the time being, we are still allies, and if the king really sees the king of Chengdu in a desperate situation, it will definitely cause the other vassal kings to be dissatisfied. ”

"And as far as the current situation is concerned, we still need to fight jointly with other vassal kings, so in the long run, it is definitely beneficial and harmless to let the Bingzhou army send troops to Hedong and threaten Guanzhong!"

After listening to Xun Kai's strategy, Sima Yue was quite interested and was ready to adopt his suggestion. However, his only worry was that he was afraid that Sima Teng would get out of his control after taking Guanzhong. You must know that the royal family has no family affection, not to mention brothers, even fathers and sons will turn against each other for the sake of power. Therefore. He has been hesitant about Xun Kai's words.

At night, inside the Tiger Prison. Sima Shu was in the room dealing with military affairs, and suddenly Li Teh walked in with a military newspaper. "Your Highness, no, we're in trouble! Just now, the scout of the Military Intelligence Department sent confidential information, and someone proposed to the king of the East China Sea: ask Sima Teng to go out of Hedong County, take Pusaka, and deter Guanzhong! ”

"Huh? Hiss! Xun Kai is amazing! Sima Shu's face was full of shock, don't look at the fierce rebels of the vassal king at the beginning, in fact, they have been led by the nose by the prince all the time. If the king of the East China Sea really adopted Xun Kai's opinion, maybe he could really take part of the initiative.

Sima Shu took the secret letter from Li Te's hand. I saw that it was written: Xun Kai suggested that the king of the East China Sea let Sima vacate the army to Hedong, capture Puban, and deter Guanzhong, and the king of the East China Sea is still under consideration.

If this information is true, that is to say, if the king of the East China Sea adopts this plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, no matter how confident Sima Shu is, I am afraid that he will have to let part of the Guanzhong army that is quelling the rebellion in Sizhou, Hanoi to return to defense, which will greatly affect the battle plan of Sima Shu's side.

"This Xun Kai is also very powerful, and he is sure that the officers and soldiers of our army are all fighting in the Central Plains. Guanzhong must be empty. If the rebels really lead their troops to cross the river and enter the pass, it will be like entering a no-man's land, and it will be easy to take the pass. ”

Not only that, but the rebels' singing all the way must have fueled their military strength. After taking Guanzhong, he will take Luoyang directly. ”

"Also, the foundation of our army is in Guanzhong, as long as there is danger in Guanzhong. No matter how the current situation develops. We all have to give up Luoyang and go back to the division to rescue Guanzhong. When we regroup and get out of the customs again the next day, it will be a protracted battle. ”

"Oops. It's really unwilling, and I can't go back. ”

"What to do? What to do? ”

In the kung fu where the generals and everyone were stunned, Li Te's son Li Xiong said with some dissatisfaction: "What is there to be afraid of, the only way to do this is - we might as well make a desperate bet and fight the rebels!" ”

After listening to Li Xiong's words, everyone was not calm. With more than 10,000 people and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is still possible to fight some guerrilla attacks and delay them, but if he uses this number of men and horses to challenge more than 100,000 people, he dares to think of losses.

Therefore, as soon as Li Xiong's words landed, the room was full of opposition.

Only Sima Shu shook his head gently, and looked at the arguing Li Te, Zu Yue, Yao Gezhong, Fu Hong and others with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, you guys don't argue, listen to Lone." As he spoke, Sima Shu motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then began to state his opinion.

"Let's see, this Xun Kai is indeed not in vain, judging from the plan to save Zhao from this siege of Wei, there are still two brushes. If it weren't for the fact that the palace had established a complete three-level military system of militia, government soldiers, and box army, it would have been a real headache this time. Xun Kai thought that our army was quelling the rebellion in Sizhou, and Guanzhong must be empty. He didn't know that only part of the Xiang army and government soldiers were responsible for countering the rebellion this time, and we still had a lot of government soldiers and a small number of Xiang troops guarding Guanzhong. ”

"Of course, we can't let the rebels attack Guanzhong, it's best to let the Bingzhou army turn to Wei County and Yangping County, if they can go to join the Gongshi Domain. In this way, we will be able to see that the rebellion will be confined to the Central Plains, and as long as the Guanzhong region is not affected by the war, we will be able to quickly restore the national economy after the war. ”

"Your Highness, how can we get the rebels to follow our pace?"

"Xuan Xiu, have you ever heard of Yao Jia?"

"Warring States Yao Jia?"

"Yes, it's him, this person is an important adviser of the First Emperor, born in the 'Shijian Menzi', his father was the prison guard who guarded the city gate, and after being expelled from the country by Zhao, he came to the Qin State at that time. He soon won the courtesy and appreciation of King Yingzheng of Qin by virtue of his talents. ”

Later, when the war of Qin's annexation of the Six Kingdoms reached a critical moment, Qin Shi Huang deliberately asked Yao Jia to carry a heavy amount of money to the ministers of various countries in order to prevent the union of the Six Kingdoms. At that time, Han and Wei were on the verge of extinction, and Qi received bribes from Qin because of their success, and did not prepare for attack, and Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei and other countries wanted to unite against Qin. ”

When the king of Qin heard the news, he was shocked, and immediately ordered the ministers to discuss, Yao Jia volunteered to send an envoy to the four countries, after Yao Jia used heavy treasures and clever tongues to maneuver between the four countries, and sure enough, the four countries refused to send troops, but were willing to make friends with the Qin state. The last resistance of the four kingdoms to Qin collapsed in this way. Yao Jia came back to report the results, the king of Qin was overjoyed, and he sealed Jia's 1,000 tenant tax on food, and worshiped him as Shangqing, and then, the king of Qin broke the four kingdoms and finally unified China. ”

"Lone tells everyone the story of Yao Jia, which is to tell everyone the importance of making plans. Now that the situation is likely to be out of our control, it is impossible to predict it, so we plan to send the intelligence agency's spies to the state and the rebel camp. It is best to make Sima Teng give up his plan to send troops to Hedong, so that our Guanzhong will be safe. ”

"In addition, don't forget, judging from the information sent by the Military Intelligence Department, the King of the East China Sea has not yet made up his mind at this time, and he did not say that the 'Bingzhou Army' will definitely leave Hedong. That is to say, the king of the East China Sea is still hesitating about crossing the Yellow River and taking the pass, and our army can take advantage of his hesitation to take the initiative to lure the enemy deep and fight to the death. In this way, you can relieve the siege of Guanzhong and win the battle of Tiger Prison Pass. ”

Sima Shu's words landed, and Fu Hong, who was anxious, said excitedly: "Your Highness's idea is good, but how can everything be as good as Your Highness thinks?" If the rebels did not end up in the intelligence department, but continued to send troops to Hedong, wouldn't we face the possibility of losing Guanzhong? ”

"The most important thing is, what if we fail in Tiger Prison? We lost the Tiger Pass once and Luoyang twice, and I am afraid it will be too late to save the Pass by then! Impossible, simply impossible, this plan is not feasible. Your Highness, we can't take such risks. ”

Sima Shu understands Fu Hong's thoughts very well, he and Yao Gezhong were born in Guanzhong, and it can be said that their home, their relatives, and everything about them are in Guanzhong. They were absolutely unwilling to lose Guanzhong for the sake of the Central Plains, so as soon as Fu Hong heard that Guanzhong was threatened, the first thought that popped into his mind was to return to Guanzhong immediately.

This cannot be blamed for Fu Hong's selfishness, because when everyone is faced with the infringement of their own interests, not everyone can be selfless. Besides, Fu Hong is also very reasonable, Sima Shu is indeed a little taken for granted, how can he guarantee that the rebels will be taken for granted?

In case, as Fu Hong said, the rebellion did not fall into his plan to lure the enemy, but really crossed the Yellow River west and sent troops to Guanzhong, maybe with the help of the Hun cavalry, it could really threaten Sima Shu's foundation.

"Well, Guangshi's words are right, it's true that Lone is a little thoughtless."

As soon as Sima Shu said this, Fu Hong, Yao Gezhong, and Li Xiong were immediately overjoyed, and even Li Te seemed to be relieved. Only Zu Yue was slightly dissatisfied, as the chief general of the Tiger Prison Pass, of course he hoped that the prince would put the main battlefield in the Tiger Prison Pass, so that if the war was won in the future, his credit would not be small.

"However, everyone must recognize our strategic purpose: only by completely defeating the main force of the rebel army will this rebellion be quelled and the world will truly achieve peace."

The prince's words made everyone ponder, it is true, as long as the main force of the rebels is not eliminated, even if they hide in Guanzhong, they still can't escape the harassment of the rebels.

"It's been so long since the war began, you must have seen that the rebels in front of the Tiger Prison Pass were the most powerful, as long as we sweep away this rebel army, we can take advantage of the victory to defeat the other rebels."

"Yes...... But how can we defeat the current enemy in a short period of time? Fu Hong asked.

"Hehe, shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first and capture the king...... If we can drive long and capture the rebellious vassal king, the rebels will be defeated without a fight. The crown prince Sima Shu slowly said his plan.

After listening to the prince's plan, everyone finally came to their senses. If you think about it carefully, the prince's strategy is not impossible. The most important of these is how to lure the King of the East Sea and the King of the River out of the rebel camp. As soon as they leave the rebel camp, with the strength of the dragoons and the bravery of General Lee, they will definitely be able to take the rank of general in a million troops!

"Good! That's what we do! Everyone was finally persuaded by the prince, and everyone decided to follow the prince's plan.

It's a pity that Sima Shu doesn't know, there is a good saying: plans can't keep up with the fast changes! Don't look at him at this time, he is planning very well, sometimes the situation does not go according to his ideas. This may be the difference between man and God, man can only follow the trend, but God can build momentum! (To be continued......)
