Li Mulan said: "They can't succeed!" The imperial court has agreed to the Turkic conditions, and the surrender of the six states of Hequ is preparing to be handed over to them! ”

Chu Yi sneered: "The population of Hebei is dozens of times that of the six states of Hequ, and the wealth is a hundred times that of the six states of Hequ. Which piece of meat is fatter compared to the two? What's more, the imperial court did not promise to cede Shan Yudu Hufu to him, if they could occupy Hebei, how would it compare to the temptation of returning the six states of Hequ? ”

Li Mulan stopped talking.

Ma Qiao hurriedly said: "The general should immediately send someone to report this news to the emperor Bixia, and ask the emperor to decide!" ”

Li Duozuo slowly sat down on the seat, Zuihou's buttocks sank, sat down on the seat steadily, and said solemnly: "What can the court do?" Cession of Shan Yu Protectorate? Even if the imperial court is willing to cede Shan Yu to the capital protectorate, it is not as tempting as Hebei. With the greed of the Turks, once the court gives in, they will see through the reality of the court, and they will get an inch and ask for more!

Moreover, the Turks and the Khitans have been fighting endlessly, so they didn't expect the Khitans to join forces with them, but this time it was different, the Khitans offered an alliance, and the Turks were likely to agree, but it was too late...... They have already sent envoys, and before the imperial court can come up with a solution, before the imperial court sends envoys to them, or even before we send the news back to the imperial court, the Turks may have already slaughtered Hebei! ”

The generals looked at each other, and the joy brought by Li Quanzhong's death was swept away.

The room was quiet for a long time, and Yang Fan suddenly said, "We don't make some attempts?" It may be irreparable, but even if it's just in case, you should try it! ”

Li Duozuo raised his head, pressed his temples tiredly, and asked softly, "What can we try?" ”

Yang Fan said: "We also send messengers!" ”

Ma Qiao was surprised: "What are we doing when we send messengers?" ”

Yang Fan said: "War." It's not just about winning or losing on the battlefield. Although I am not good at the art of war, I also know that Sun Tzu once said: 'Go to the army to plot, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and then attack the city.' ’”

Ma Qiao blinked, not understanding. It's not just him, Chu Yi and Li Mulan also seem to understand whether they understand or not, it's okay to let them charge into battle, and it's okay to command the battle, even if they can't read. People who have been in the military all their lives also have some knowledge learned from actual combat experience, but they don't understand things at a higher level.

Li Duozuo groaned, not only thinking about sorting out his thoughts, but also explaining to these generals: "Go to the army and strategize." Rely on strategy and use political, economic, cultural, diplomatic and other means. We will not wait for the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides to intensify beyond control, and the signs that may lead to war will be resolved. This can't be done! ”

Yang Fan nodded: "Although the Turks are a country, they are no different from a larger bandit nest. They only have interests in their eyes, and it is difficult to conquer them with such a soft means with such a monster that seems to be a country and not a country, especially now that we are at a disadvantage. ”

Li Duozuo said: "Secondly, cut the hand." It means that when the two sides have reached the stage of conflict and are likely to enter the stage of using force, they will show their strength and confidence in victory, so that the opponent will feel our invincibility. Then, through diplomatic means, negotiations are carried out so that the end can be achieved without resorting to force. ”

Yang Fan said: "Once we enter the stage of attacking the army, we will immediately suffer from the enemy on both sides, maybe not only two, if the Xi people see the Turkic intervention, it is likely to be bold, in order to compete for more interests, send the country's troops south, and the Tubo will not let go of this good opportunity, put aside internal disputes for the time being, and come to us for a piece of the pie." So, now it's only a matter of cutting and fighting! ”

Li Duozuo smiled bitterly: "How to cut friends? Do we have the qualifications to send emissaries to the Khitan? If they put forward any conditions, who are we to agree or refuse on behalf of the court? If the letter is sent back to the imperial court first, it is likely that it will be too late. ”

Yang Fan thought for a while and said, "We are not qualified to negotiate. What if ...... sent people to urge them to send troops to attack and disturb the back roads of the Khitans? The condition for the imperial court to promise to return the six states of Hequ was that they should send troops to help the imperial court crusade against the Khitan, and now they have not sent troops, and the general is now in charge of the North Road military, and he has the right to send people to coordinate the dispatch of troops, right? ”

Li Duozuo thought about it, nodded and said, "This reason is okay." However, the Khitans gave them a condition that they could not refuse, they would have been tempted by it, and we had to send people to urge them to send troops, can they agree? ”

Yang Fan also made a temporary decision, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning again. All the generals in the tent thought hard, although Chu Yi and the others did not have a high vision of diplomacy, but when it came to these specific affairs, they still relied on their own experience and experience to find a way.

Ma Qiao thought for a while, and muttered to himself: "Then unless the Khitan is no longer good, the Turks know that it is no good to help them, so they will turn around to help us, in this way, not only can the imperial court return the six states of Hequ to them according to the agreement, but also get some benefits from the Khitans, they are not only poor, but also lack people, and they can't see a few people for most of the day in the vast grassland, whether it is livestock or people, they are what they need." ”

Chu Yi glanced at him angrily and said, "What about you?" If the Khitan is no longer good, do we still need them to send troops? What an idiot! ”

Ma Qiao blushed and argued thickly: "Isn't this my assumption, if not, the Turks are willing to side with us?" ”

Chu Yi said: "Meaningless assumption that there is a bird to use, your rammer is out of tune......

The two were arguing, and Yang Fan suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Good idea!" ”

Everyone was stunned, Chu Yi and Ma Qiao stopped arguing, and asked together: "Have you thought of a way?" "They all believe that Yang Fan is resourceful, probably not as good as Zhuge Liang, but they should have more brains than them tied together.

Yang Fan pointed to the horse bridge and said, "That's his idea!" ”

When Ma Qiao heard this, he grinned and was happy: "My brother is my own brother, and I know how to help me hold my pocket at the critical moment!" ”

Chu Yi said unhappily: "Captain Yang, you're not joking, are you?" How does he use it? ”

Yang Fan said with a smile: "It's just to make the Turks feel that the Khitan is no longer there!" ”

Chu Yi said: "If the Khitans don't succeed, they don't need the Turks to send troops, and they need the Turks to send troops, which proves that the court can't parry the Khitans, how can they believe our words?" ”

"It's a viable idea!" Li Duozuo said in a deep voice: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating. There's always a way to convince them, Captain Yang, what idea did you come up with? ”

Yang Fan said: "The last general has some ideas, but he hasn't thought more clearly, and the general Rong Mo will think about it again." ”

Li Duozuo said: "Hearing you say this, I thought of a way!" ”

Yang Fan knew that although he had many wonderful ideas, because he didn't understand and was not proficient in many basic common sense on the battlefield, there would always be such and such loopholes in the things he actually planned, and Li Duozuo would not make such a mistake, he could pick up the gaps. Turn your own vision into a perfect executable jihua.

Yang Fan immediately asked excitedly, "What is the general's opinion?" ”

Li Duozuo said: "Tell the Turks that we have besieged the main Khitan force, but it will take time to destroy them." Since they have a large amount of grain and grass in their hands, there is no risk of food shortage for the time being, and they will suffer heavy losses if they are forcibly annihilated. Therefore, the Turks were asked to fulfill their promise and send troops to attack the Khitans' rear route. As a result, the Khitan army's heart was shaken. Collapse without a fight. ”

Yang Fan thought about it seriously and said, "In this case, it is necessary to mobilize the army to cooperate, so as not to detect the strangeness of the Turks.

Li Duozuo nodded and said, "There is no problem with this, I am now in charge of the soldiers and horses of the North Road." The ministries can be mobilized to cooperate with the envoys. ”

Yang Fan said excitedly: "In this way, this plan is very feasible, let's plan the details." Fight this diplomatic battle! ”

Since this plan was likely to succeed, all the generals became excited, sat together, and made a detailed deliberation on the entire jihua.

Li Mulan said: "In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of Yulinwei, the imperial court often transfers recruits to the border in turn, and fights with foreign enemies with the border army.

As far as I know, because there are often wars on the border, although they are all small-scale battles, and the number of dead and wounded is not large, but the border people of our border army and the Turkic border tribes hate each other, and the hatred of some tribes and villages can even be traced back to the previous dynasty, and it has become a feud. If we send envoys, it is likely that they will be hated by the tribes they have lived in the border areas for many years, even if we don't kill the envoys, as long as we deliberately create obstacles and make it difficult for you to move an inch, it will be a big deal, and we are now fighting with the Khitan for time! ”

Li Duozuo said: "I'll figure out a way to solve this problem, what other difficulties are there?" ”

Chu Yi thought for a while and said, "There is another question, if the negotiation is successful, what should we do next?" If the negotiation fails, what do we do next? This point must be arranged in advance, where should our soldiers and horses be placed, once the Turks send troops to attack us, we can deal with it in time, once the Turks send troops to help me, how to quickly launch an attack, to avoid the Khitans from escaping with the advantage of full cavalry and no baggage! ”

Li Duozuo nodded slowly, and praised: "Chu Lang will think very comprehensively, we can't hold on to it temporarily, if the negotiation is successful and we can't seize the fighter, then the Turks may not turn around and cooperate with the Khitan again." Make a note first, this matter must be resolved! ”

Ma Qiao saw that Chu Yi, a big old man, could take such a long-term view, and was appreciated by the general, he couldn't help but feel competitive, thought hard for a while, and said: "There is another problem, Wu Yizong retreated when he heard the wind and fled to Xiangzhou, which has become a well-known daxiao in the north. Although he came back again under the emperor's stern reprimand, he didn't dare to engage the enemy with his temper, what should this person do? If he can't cooperate, and still dodge, the Turks only have to look at his performance to know that we are lying. ”

Li Duozuo had a smile on his face, nodded slightly, and said, "Not bad!" This point was almost ignored by General Ben, and we had to find a way to get Wu Yizong to move and let him cooperate with us. Otherwise, he has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and he has nowhere to hide, and there is nowhere to hide, it is simply a living loudspeaker, always announcing the battle situation between the enemy and us! This problem must be solved! Anything else? ”

Yang Fan didn't expect that although his jihua had the possibility of implementation, there were still so many problems that needed to be solved in advance, and he couldn't help frowning. Hearing Li Duozuo's words, the generals thought carefully again and shook their heads.

Seeing that no one answered, Li Duozuo added to himself: "There is one more thing, and the most important thing!" ”

When the generals heard this, they all pricked up their ears, and Li Duozuo said: "We have done so much and paved all the roads, what is the purpose?" The purpose is to persuade the Khitans to send troops and let them side with us and solve the big trouble of the Khitan together! But this is not easy, and there will be all kinds of problems.

Felling, felling, everything, is a matching, and the focus is still on a crossing. The person in charge of going to the Khitan for negotiations is the most important, he must be able to deal with the old fox of Mosi, deal with the Khitan envoys, be able to adapt to the situation, have a good eloquence, and persuade the Turks, this person, where to find it? ”

There was a sudden silence in the handsome tent, Yang Fan's brows frowned deeper, and he thought hard for a long time, but he didn't come up with such a suitable candidate. After all, he has been in the army for a short time, and he doesn't know many people, and he was trying to see if other people wanted to come up with a suitable envoy role, and when he looked up, he saw that all the people, including Ma Qiao, were staring at him with fierce eyes!
