Chapter 3096, overconfidence

Regarding the matter of dividing troops with the third prince Tu Lei and guarding a mountain cliff separately, the sixth prince Tu Lei did not resist as he imagined, after all, there was Gao Tu to lead the troops instead of the sixth prince Tu Lei, and the troops of the six princes Tu Lei could only be better than the troops of the third prince Tu Ying.

Especially whether it was to win over Gao Tuan or reassure Gao Tuan, after discovering that Gao Tuan's ability was somewhat similar to the ability of Zhu Shangde, the Taishi of Yulin State, the sixth prince Tu Lei directly gave Gao Tu the treatment of a Taishi in secret.

After all, the sixth prince is tired, and if he really wants to sit on the throne in the future, he will not only have to rely on Gao Xuan's ability and hard work. The real sixth prince Tulei sat on the throne, and there were also many places to rely on Gao Xuan's help.

Therefore, since there is no shortage of Gao Xuan, the sixth prince Tu Ti naturally will not give up his investment in Gao Xuan and give up his trust in Gao Xuan.

As for the question that some people will doubt Gao Zhan's loyalty, since it is impossible for him to ascend to the throne without Gao Xuan, it is not something that the sixth prince Tu Ti needs to consider now.

Therefore, when he saw Zhu Shangde and Zhou Bingqian coming to the entrance of Qingmin Yuan from a distance, the sixth prince Tu Ti also said with great interest: "Gao Xuan, what do you say Zhu Shangde will choose, will he attack or retreat?" Or at what point? How do I retire? ”

Hearing that the sixth prince was tired and did not doubt that Zhu Shangde would choose to withdraw from the army, Gao Shu was also not the slightest strange.

After all, in the situation that the attack would definitely not take advantage, even if the Qinzhou army had fallen into a desperate situation, Zhu Shangde still did not dare to destroy the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State in his hands in Qingmin Plain with the troops of the third prince Tu Gong and the sixth prince Tu Lei.

Because not to mention the question of whether they can redeem the troops of the third prince Tu Cheng and the sixth prince Tu Lei, this will not only damage the prestige of Zhu Shangde and Zhou Bingqian in Yulin and Zhou Huai. It will even directly affect the strategic intentions of the Triple Alliance.

Therefore, if Zhu Shangde is just a general-level official, he may not hesitate to fight with the third prince Tu Cheng and the sixth prince Tu Lei to exchange his own troops, but as the commander of the coalition army and the Yulin State Taishi, then except for Qin Emperor Tu Lang himself, who is also worthy of Zhu Shangde to take a qiē chess piece to exchange for huàn, there is no one in the Qinzhou army who is worthy of Zhu Shangde to sacrifice himself.

After all, Zhu Shangde was able to escape with the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin in the pursuit of the second prince Tu Yan and others, and it took more than a month to prove that his ability was far above that of several Qin princes, so in the case that the enemy was only Qin Emperor Tu Lang alone, Zhu Shangde would certainly not lose a big deal because of a small one.

It's just that although things are like this, words can't be said like this, so Gao Shu nodded and said: "The Sixth Highness is wise, but in order to explain to all parties." Zhu Shangde may indeed choose to make some tentative attacks before withdrawing. However, since it is impossible to take advantage of our army, the final result will definitely be to withdraw the troops. ”

"It's just that due to the problem of strength and combat power, the last general estimates that they will definitely not leave too many troops down to block the pursuit of our army, after all, it is completely worthless. Only Zhu Shangde has escaped for more than a month. I believe that this is enough to give him the confidence to continue to lead the coalition forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin to escape. ”

“…… I see. So how are we going to track down Zhu Shangde's troops later? ”

"It's hard to say, after all, the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin are both guest troops in Jiangyu Kingdom, and we can't force Zhu Shangde to have a real decisive battle. Therefore, you can choose to leave the battle at any time. Even if it was lured by Luoyun Gorge, the last general believed that Zhu Shangde would also support Chang Kaishan and Jiang Yuguo's army to defend Luoyun Gorge in his own way. ”

Although he is a model of both civil and military affairs, Gao Shu also has to admire Zhu Shangde, or regard Zhu Shangde as his future goal.

After all, don't look at the national teacher Sang Caiqun's ability, it seems that he is not below Zhu Shangde, but Sang Caiqun is a pure civil official, and he can't do anything like Zhu Shangde and Gao Shu.

Therefore, even if elevating Zhu Shangde is not the same as elevating himself, Gao Zhan also hopes that Zhu Shangde's appearance can be better, so as to give Gao Zhan more goals, and even win more interests and opportunities for Gao Zhan in the future, etc.

I didn't know that Gao Zhan was already comparing himself to Zhu Shangde, and when he heard that Zhu Shangde would only fight in his own way, the sixth prince Tu Lei's eyes had a touch of differentness and said: "Gao Zhan Ru said that Zhu Shangde will fight in his own way?" In other words, he won't follow Chang Kaishan's orders to defend Luoyun Gorge? Then you said that we can use this opportunity to attack Chang Kaishan or Zhu Shangde, and then strive for the greatest victory? ”

"This ......, if this is the case, then we can only choose Chang Kaishan as the target, after all, only Chang Kaishan does not know that Zhu Shangde will act on his own, and he will not change his plan, but Zhu Shangde can command the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State by his own will, but ......"

"But what?"

"But we have to minimize the chance of Chang Kaishan meeting Zhu Shangde! In this situation, without face-to-face communication and lack of sufficient communication, Chang Kaishan will have enough swings between trust and distrust of Zhu Shangde. ”

"I see, then Zhu Shangde doesn't need to trust Chang Kaishan's command?"

Although I don't know much about war, intrigue is a kind of war in itself. Therefore, when Gao Xuan talked about the mutual trust between Chang Kaishan and Zhu Shangde, the sixth prince Tu Lei quickly realized that there was indeed a great opportunity in this.

It's just that this opportunity can only be used on Chang Kaishan, which makes the sixth prince feel a little pity.

After all, compared with Chang Kaishan, after being entangled with Zhu Shangde for more than a month, the sixth prince Tu Lei believed that not only himself, but also the third prince Tu Hao should also want to kill Zhu Shangde.

Hearing the sixth prince Tu Ti ask about Zhu Shangde's choice, Gao Shu shook his head and said: "If there is no entanglement for more than a month, as the commander of the guest army, let alone whether Chang Kaishan will give Zhu Shangde a chance, not only will those soldiers of Zhou Huaiguo not necessarily trust Zhu Shangde, and they have not fought in Jiangyuguo, I am afraid that Zhu Shangde will also have doubts about whether he can do a good job in various combat matters without Chang Kaishan's command and control." ”

But after more than a month of continuous fighting, Zhu Shangde has not only gained sufficient support from the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State, but also believes that he has accumulated enough confidence and experience in the topography and landform of Jiangyu Kingdom, and even how to fight in Jiangyu Kingdom. Therefore, instead of blindly obeying Chang Kaishan's command, the last general concluded that Zhu Shangde would definitely choose to stick to his own ideas. ”

"I see, does this mean that Zhu Shangde is already overconfident?"

Hearing this, the sixth prince Tu Lei really suddenly realized.

Because although the sixth prince Tu Ti wanted to destroy Zhu Shangde's troops, if Zhu Shangde's self-confidence would cause a flaw in Chang Kaishan's troops, the six princes Tu Ti would no longer have to make a hard choice.

After all, defeating Chang Kaishan is equivalent to defeating Jiang Yuguo, which is a greater achievement and even a temptation. (To be continued......)
