Guo Mengsheng nodded in understanding.

In his heart, he sighed that the plan was indeed a clever plan, but it was too risky.

The prince is young, and his style of action has a natural recklessness.

This momentum is even a few points stronger than that of the former Martial Emperor.

Although the prince was right, if he captured the city, then he would completely cut off the retreat of the Xiongnu to the south.

It's just that the Wu Dynasty will also be placed on the pass of the Xiongnu's north and south attacks, and I am afraid it will be difficult to last long.

"But the Huns are menacing, and they will certainly not let us take it so easily. The best strategy they could adopt was to transfer back the Xiongnu army stationed in Chu, and then send a large number of cavalry from the Xiongnu Dragon City to move south. ”

Guo Mengsheng listened and listened, his brows furrowed.

He suddenly understood what the prince meant.

"Could it be that His Highness is saying...... The Huns may cross the river from the Han border of the Chu River?! ”

"Exactly."

Previously, in order to avoid conflict with the Wu Dynasty, the Xiongnu would choose to take a detour.

Once the Wu Dynasty took the initiative to declare war, the Xiongnu must be proud and would not let it go more.

Li Yunxing said coldly: "If we can predict the enemy's movements in advance, then the Huns will not want to set foot in the Chu River and Han realm for half a step. ”

Guo Mengsheng pondered for a moment, it was indeed a clever plan, but the risk was not low, in case of failure......

"If so, then aren't we in a situation where we're in a position where we're at the bottom of our backs?"

"No!" Li Yunxing said with a smile: "This palace has no intention of fighting with them, as long as they leave the border of the Chu State, our Wu Dynasty can retreat." ”

Guo Mengsheng was stunned, "Retreat? ”

"yes!" Li Yunxing said: "The Huns must not be able to take care of the end, as long as we seize this gap and immediately go south to join forces with the Chu State to exterminate the Hun army deep in the hinterland, we can severely damage their spirit." ”

Li Yunxing's eyes flickered with coldness, "At that time, we will gather the Chu State and the Western Regions again, encircle the three sides, and defeat the Xiongnu!" ”

Guo Mengsheng suddenly realized, and then sighed at Li Yunxing's courage and strategy.

When Li Yunxing said this, he suddenly asked, "Taishou thinks, is what Bengong said right?" ”

The other party hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The prince is far-sighted, and the old minister admires it!" ”

Li Yunxing smiled slightly: "It's too conservative to praise, but Taishou has ever thought about why this palace wants to take the risk of doing this?" ”

Guo Mengsheng thought about it and shook his head.

Li Yunxing smiled slightly and said, "Taishou can remember that my father once told the palace that if you want to take it, you must give it first!" ”

"Uh......"

Guo Mengsheng thought about it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "What does Your Highness mean, is it ......?"

"That's right!"

Li Yunxing's smile became thicker and thicker, and he said: "Father and Emperor taught this palace, if you want to make it die, you must first make it crazy. ”

"If we retreat, the Huns will be mad, thinking that we have been frightened and unscrupulous."

"But once they take the initiative to attack and lure the enemy deep into Pingyang from the city of Decadence to Pingyang of the Wu Dynasty, they will definitely encounter many obstacles if they have to cross a canyon of nearly 500 miles in between. And we can take advantage of this opportunity to harass them from behind! ”

When the time comes, the Huns will choose to continue southward or return to the city of Qidang. They are all in great danger! It will even affect the speed of the march south, giving us time to breathe and recuperate. ”

"In this way, we can not only preserve our strength, but also cripple this Hun cavalry!"

"If you're lucky, you might be able to wipe out this cavalry team!"

The more Guo Mengsheng listened, the widening of his eyes.

He didn't expect that Li Yunxing would have such courage at such a young age.

Li Yunxing said with a smile: "That's why the palace wants to send a strong division to lead a partial division, pretending to break through from the declining city." After they chased them out of the city, they ambushed them halfway! ”

Guo Mengsheng was shocked, he didn't expect that Li Yunxing would be so ruthless and planned to catch them all!

However, Guo Mengsheng was vaguely worried in his heart, after all, the Huns had excellent riding skills and were good at nomadism, if they wanted to run, they might be difficult to stop.

And with only 5,000 elite soldiers, it was too dangerous.

Li Yunxing seemed to see Guo Mengsheng's thoughts, and said indifferently: "Taishou doesn't need to worry too much. If the Huns don't chase and kill, then we won't be at a loss, at least we will solve the urgent need of the Chu State. ”

"If they chase them out, we can take advantage of the situation!"

Guo Mengsheng took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Your Highness is wise!" ”

It is really hard for Guo Mengsheng not to admit that Li Yunxing's thoughts are indeed very thoughtful and full of courage.

There is a saying in the Art of War called the virtual and the real, the real is the virtual, and the virtual is the real.

Li Yunxing's current strategy is to combine the virtual and the real.

Use a part of the elite to pretend to be a rout army and lure the Hun army to go.

And in the back, buried heavy soldiers, waiting for them to take the bait.

Once they pursued, the Wu Dynasty could take the opportunity to counterattack.

It seems that it is to compete with the Xiongnu for this small piece of land, but in fact, it is to force the enemy army out of the Chu State, and then the two sides will work together to defeat the enemy army!

"Not only that, Taishou also needs to help the palace make proper arrangements." Li Yunxing said: "After all, this matter is related to the lifeblood of the entire Wu Dynasty. ”

Guo Mengsheng's expression was solemn, and he bowed down and asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is still something unknown about Weichen." ”

"You want to ask why Hongu came to you to do this?"

Li Yunxing said with a smile.

Guo Mengsheng was shocked in his heart, and suddenly felt like a naked person standing in front of the prince.

His every move, every careful thought was seen through by Li Yunxing.

"The prince is really wise, and the old minister admires it."

Li Yunxing waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is a secret in this palace, this palace wants to tell Taishou, is Taishou willing to listen?" ”

Guo Mengsheng's heart beat violently a few times.

Secret, what a seductive word, but also what a dangerous word.

If you are not careful, or if you leak the news, you may die.

The more you know, the longer you live.

Li Yunxing hesitated when he saw Guo Mengsheng, and slowly spit out the words, "This palace suspects that someone in the court is colluding with the Xiongnu. ”

When Guo Mengsheng heard this, he suddenly raised his head.

This...... What is the meaning?

Li Yunxing looked at him and said, "My father has been on the throne for 20 years and has governed the world. Make every effort to expand the territory. Although there are still diehards in the court, there are also loyal and patriotic! But ......"

"Some people's ambitions are by no means satisfied with just being a powerful minister, and Emperor Wu sometimes has to give up a lot of things for the sake of power checks and balances." The corners of Li Yunxing's mouth flashed with a hint of bitterness.

Guo Mengsheng naturally understands this truth.

Now that Liu Zhongqing is in power in the court, doesn't Emperor Wu know?

That must also be a matter of consideration, but for Emperor Wu, stabilizing the court is much more important than eliminating evil.
