Bao Yuchun was stunned when he heard this: "Eh...... Please also ask for advice. ”

Lao Jianhua slowly walked in front of him, and said in a calm tone: "Bao Shuai, as a general, he has the heart to seek war and make meritorious contributions, of course, it is worthy of recognition." But is it okay not to obey the Lord's command and act on your own? ”

This sentence was said very gently, but it seemed to have the power of ten thousand jun, so frightened that Bao Yuchun hurriedly got up and bowed his head and said: "It really shouldn't be, Bao Mou is guilty." ”

Lao Jianhua raised his hand and patted Bao Yuchun lightly on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't have to be nervous, and then said, "What are the disadvantages compared to Li Bing?" What are the advantages? Have you ever wondered? ”

This question was not only asked to Bao Yuchun, but also to Li Jiong and a group of civil and military officials, but everyone did not say anything, and just waited quietly for Lao Jianhua to continue.

"When it comes to territorial boundaries, the two sides are on par. In terms of products, gold and silver, the two sides are also comparable. In terms of talent and soldiers, the two sides are also on par. There are many horses in the north, and the riding skills are superior; There are more ships in the south, and the water victory is even greater. Lao Jianhua said eloquently: "The comparison between the two sides can be described as equal, and the longer the time, the more favorable the situation will be for us, because we also have an advantage, which is incomparable to the imperial court." ”

Bao Yuchun was curious: "What advantage?" ”

"The monarch and the minister are in harmony, and the military power is stable." Lao Jianhua said word by word.

Hearing this, Bao Yuchun was stunned.

It's not that he didn't understand the meaning of Lao Jianhua's words, but he didn't expect the other party to say that.

I only heard Lao Jianhua continue: "Ladies and gentlemen, Li Bing is just an empty shelf emperor, and he can't control his legions and those generals who lead the troops at all. Not to mention Li Jiangyao's Zhenjiang Army, even Ma Hongjie's Vermilion Bird Army, Murong Xue's Qinglong Army, and Chang Tao's Xuanwu Army are all inseparable from him. Even the 200,000 forbidden army corps that Li Bing boasted of being in charge of himself was just talking. ”

"What about us. If the Jin army also follows the example of the imperial court, and the generals all disobey His Royal Highness the King of Jin and fight separately, then we are a plate of scattered sand, with no chance of winning at all, and one day, we will be swallowed by the imperial court entirely. But if we can put aside our old grievances and unite as one, then we will be far superior to the northern army, and we will be able to watch them die without fighting. Isn't it? ”

"Lao Xiang is wise!" Yuan Zhengkui Huo Ran got up and shouted loudly: "We can't learn from Li Bing and Li Jiangyao!" The military order must be in the hands of His Highness, and everyone can win with one heart! ”

Lao Jianhua looked at Bao Yuchun with a smile: "Your Highness said before, you have suffered heavy losses in successive battles, so you will replenish the navy with 500 warships and 30,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

Bao Yuchun never expected that he had caused such a big disaster, and instead of severely punishing him, Lao Jianhua and Li Jiong gave more troops and equipment, which can be called magnanimous.

Although there is an implicit intention of buying people's hearts, after all, people have shown great sincerity, and they can't help but be grateful anyway.

Bao Yuchun's eyes were slightly red, and he turned around and knelt down on one knee for Li Zhi: "Your Highness, Weichen really knows that he is wrong." From now on, whatever you say to Lao Xiang, Bao will do anything, and there will never be half a point of disobedience. If there is a bad pool, you are willing to suffer the misfortune of ten thousand arrows! ”

Seeing this, Li Bing wanted to get up and come over to help him, but he didn't expect to see Lao Jianhua shaking his head slightly at himself at this time, and made a non-moving look, so he sat on the throne again, and responded indifferently: "Bao Shuai is flat." In the future, you and I will continue to work together to avenge our father! ”

-

"Master, what a trick you just made was really powerful. Bao Yuchun is a tough guy, and he was moved to tears. Li Ji put down the teacup and said with heartfelt emotion: "He cried and wiped his tears before, all of them were acting, only after that moment, he was emotional." ”

Lao Jianhua stroked his long hair and sighed: "Bao Yuchun can fight well, but the idea is simpler after all, as long as you use a little means, you can still control it." At the beginning, we used Ye Rongcheng's Xuanjia system to balance the navy, isn't it just for that. It's just that he didn't expect to be exploited by Li Jiangyao and almost caused a big disaster. ”

Li Bing gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't get rid of that annoying guy, this king won't be able to sleep well!" Master, is there a good plan? ”

Lao Jianhua said in a deep voice: "The previous plan is now in full swing. According to Wei Zixuan's report, Cheng Wen has regarded Li Jiangyao as his number one enemy, and secretly arranged and prepared to make a move. I believe that it won't be long before most of the Zhenjiang Army will be unlucky. ”

He paused, then continued, "In addition to him, the other legions must also start as soon as possible. Otherwise, as soon as the forces of water warfare on the great river change, they will all become deadly threats. ”

Li Ji was slightly stunned, and then blushed and said, "Master...... Is it reminding the king about Rui Ji? ”

"If only you understood." Lao Jianhua snorted angrily: "Your Highness, now there are a group of concubines in the palace, there is no more than her, and there is no less than her, why are you so reluctant?" ”

Li Ji looked a little hesitant: "It's not that I'm reluctant to give up Ruiji's girl, it's just that ...... You let her deal with Murong Xue, I'll ...... I was worried about her safety. ”

Lao Jianhua shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Safe? Your Highness, how many times has the old man told you, let's embark on this road, and who can be alone? Safety has long been a luxury. I asked Rui Ji to go to Jiangbei this time, not only to deal with Murong Xue, but also to deal with the important task of the imperial capital, so I can't delay it any longer. ”

Hearing the other party's tone a little heavy, Li Ji had no choice but to say helplessly: "Disciple understands, I will let Rui Ji go immediately." ”

Lao Jianhua nodded, and his face finally softened, but his tone was still solemn: "This time the Zhenjiang army crossed the river, which really scared the old man. In front of Li Jiangyao, as strong as Ye Rongcheng and the Xuanjia Army, they can only suffer defeat. And that's only half of his strength. If the whole army of Zhenjiang came north, plus Murong Xue's Blue Dragon Legion and Ma Hongjie's Vermilion Bird Legion. Your Highness, to put it mildly, we have no chance of winning, and we have nothing left but to die. ”

Li Jiong's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Master, are you too pessimistic? Ye Rongcheng had a lot of dealings with Xu Youchang in the Xuancheng defense line before, and he didn't fall into the upper hand, but Li Jiangyao was scheming, so he took a big advantage. ”

"I think you are thinking about the problem too simply," Lao Jianhua said: "The old man told them before that this battle is conducive to seeing through the reality of the Zhenjiang army, and that is just to cheer everyone up." But in fact, it is the enemy who sees through our reality and reality. Among the various departments of the Jin army, who has strong combat power and who has weak combat power, and what the defensive deployment of Xuancheng, Jinling, Dangtu and other places is, they are all touched by Li Jiangyao and Xu Youchang. His Royal Highness has also fought in the Xuanjia Legion for many years, and the truth in this regard is always clearer than the old man, right? ”

Hearing this, Li Jiong nodded thoughtfully: "You are right. Alas, it is always the attacker who has the initiative on the battlefield and has the opportunity to see through the details of the defender, while the defender responds passively and cannot get a full picture of the attacker. ”

"That's the truth." Lao Jianhua said in a deep voice: "Because of this, you can't let Li Jiangyao and them come over again." Across the river, we still have the opportunity to gradually increase our strength, but once the opposite side breaks through on all fronts and attacks in multiple ways, ten Ye Rongcheng will not help. I transferred 500 warships and 30,000 troops to Bao Yuchun today, not only to win his heart, but also to stabilize the defense line of the Great River. ”

"Then the proactive attack strategy we set before, is it still going on?" Li Bing couldn't help but ask.

Lao Jianhua said: "Of course it has to be carried out." Taking the initiative to cross the river and attack was to disrupt the strategic layout of the other side. To a large extent, it could not only create a gap between Li Bing and the various legions, but also slow down the speed of the imperial court's preparations for war. In particular, the preparation of their ships for destruction is very critical. However, military action alone is not enough, it must be accompanied by clever discordant tactics. ”

Li Jiong bowed slightly: "So you let Rui Ji and them go north as soon as possible, just to divide the enemy." ”

Lao Jianhua got up and walked to the window, looked at the remnant sun that was falling behind the mountain in the distance, and said abruptly: "Time is running out." Dealing with Li Jiangyao's killing situation, in the imperial capital. The killing game against Murong Xue, Ma Hongjie and Yang Li is also in the imperial capital. And all of this is tied to the bodies of two women, one is Rui Ji and the other is Cheng Wen. Whether they can do it or not, the old man is not sure. ”

-

Lao Jianhua looked at the sunset from afar, thinking of the imperial capital in his heart, and on the seal jade tower of the imperial capital, there was also a person looking at the sunset in the distance at this time.

He is Shen Lie.

The battle report on the front line of the Great River has become a new topic for the people of the imperial capital after dinner.

All of a sudden, there were different opinions.

Some people say that the all-out southern crusade has begun. As the vanguard, the Zhenjiang army crossed the river with 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the battle flag approached the traitor's lair, Hangzhou City.

It is also said that the imperial fleet suffered heavy losses, the whole army was annihilated, and most of the Yiling Water Village was also burned, and the crusade against Jiangnan became far away.

In the private room upstairs in Zhuyu, the diners expressed their opinions and argued endlessly, and the noisy voices kept pouring into Shen Lie's ears, making him annoyed but quite helpless.

"My lord, I've kept you waiting."

Yuan Bin's voice came from behind itself.

Shen Lie turned his head, smiled at the other party and beckoned, motioning for Yuan Bin to sit down and eat.

Yuan Bin first looked at the left and right wings, then pulled out the chair casually, and asked in a low voice, "You didn't change your appearance when you came out, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay," Shen Lie smiled nonchalantly, and sat down in his robe: "Recently, the Reverse Scale Division has relaxed a lot. ”

Yuan Bin poured wine for Shen Lie and said softly: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." After all, there are many people, so it's better to be careful. ”

Shen Lie sandwiched a dish for Yuan Bin and said with a smile: "Actually, I showed up on purpose to see someone's movements." ”

"Someone?" Yuan Bin stuffed the dish that Shen Lie had given him into his mouth and grunted, "Who do you mean?" ”

Shen Lie took the wine glass and drank it all, then replied lightly: "Lao Jianhua." ”
