"Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition?"

After listening to the statement of the Son of Heaven, Lu Shen couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

If you want Jing Jun to be buried with you, the appearance of the Son of Heaven of Great Qi on the battlefield is undoubtedly the most attractive bait.

Whether it is Emperor Jing or Qing Yugong, I am afraid that they will not be able to miss this opportunity to directly destroy the foundation of the Qi Dynasty.

Specific to the battlefield, it is probably that the Son of Heaven is in danger, the Jing army is desperate to attack, and then use the main force of the Qi army that has been ambushed in advance to carry out counter-encirclement, Lu Shen can plan a complete set of strategies in a short time.

He hadn't thought about it like this before, because no one dared to put the Son of Heaven in danger.

Lu Shen asked, "Then how can we get them to step into the trap?" ”

There was relief in Li Duan's eyes, but also a little indescribable sadness, he was analyzing Emperor Jing in this sentence, why wasn't he talking about himself?

It's just a pity that his body can't support his ambitions.

Merely...... Since the Son of Heaven will not take risks with his own body, where does what he said come from?

In the face of Lu Shen's solemn statement, Li Duan said: "I believe in you, and I believe in my own vision, as long as you can remember my expectations, and in the future, you will be able to assist the new monarch to protect the great Qi country, and you will not be in vain in the righteousness of the monarch and your minister." ”

Lu Shen lowered his head and said: "The minister must keep it in mind. ”

"The problem is how to make Emperor Jing know and believe that I am dying."

Lu Shen looked at him curiously.

Under the persuasion of the Son of Heaven, Lu Shen's train of thought gradually opened, and he said: "When my border army is at a disadvantage, if they behave more aggressively, and Emperor Jing knows that His Majesty is not in good health at this time, he should want to use this opportunity to settle the overall situation." But Qing Yugong has been on the battlefield for a long time, he will definitely not act rashly, this will inevitably have contradictions between the monarch and the minister, and in the end, Emperor Jing should be able to suppress Qing Yugong and force the Jing army to step into the trap set by our army. However, there is still a problem......"

Speaking of this, a complicated look appeared on his face, and he said with emotion: "If it weren't for this, Jingguo Guozuo would definitely not last for a hundred years." ”

He smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Do you think if I die in the army, or fall into the hands of the enemy, what impact will it have on the soldiers of the Great Qi?" Will it inspire them to move forward and fight the enemy to the death, or will it make it difficult to stop the morale of the army? ”

Lu Shen faintly felt that the words of the Son of Heaven seemed to mean something.

Lu Tong said with a smile before that he doubted whether Lu Shen was not interested in women, but in fact, Lu Shen only spent most of his time on promotion, of course, his peach blossom luck has never been broken.

As if to convince himself, Lu Shen could even think of the reason why the Son of Heaven decided to do this, although the battle situation in Jiangbei had not yet reached the point of affecting the life and death of Great Qi, but the physical condition of the Son of Heaven could not support it for too long.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand."

This question made Lu Shen silent.

He paused slightly, and said earnestly: "Lu Shen, I can't risk the lives of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and countless people just because I covet the fame behind me. ”

Lu pondered for a moment and said softly: "The minister thinks that Emperor Jing will want to finish his work in one battle. ”

Qin Zheng replied succinctly: "Back to Your Majesty, there is no problem." ”

Li Duan continued: "It's not that I don't believe in the abilities of you and other generals, but the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, who has the absolute certainty that the strategy will succeed? For Daqi, even if the war situation in Jiangbei is temporarily at a disadvantage, even if it suffers one or two more defeats, as long as Jinghuai and Huai are not lost, as long as the people's hearts in Jiangnan remain stable, the Jing army can only look at the defense line along the river and sigh. If I die on the battlefield or are captured by the enemy, it is very likely that the border army will fall into an extremely passive situation, which will lead to the complete erosion of the situation in the north and south of the river. ”

The cold breeze in the imperial garden was light, and the expression on Li Duan's face was still calm and indifferent, and there was a little more greed in his eyes, as if this cold breath made him more sober.

Li Duan's tone was gentle, his eyes looked at the corner of the eastern wall, and then said: "As I said before, I don't know much about military affairs, so I don't dare to make random decisions in this regard, but I have been the emperor for fourteen years, and I have seen countless intrigues and intrigues, and I can't say that I have insight into everything in people's hearts, at least I can guess a rough outline. If I suddenly take the lead without warning, the two heroes in the north will be more vigilant, because it is unreasonable for me to do so, and it will naturally be full of flaws in their eyes. ”

Li Duansui said to Qin Zheng: "Can that thorn still be used now?" ”

Lu Shen stood up and said, "Obey the order!" ”

Li Duan smiled and said: "You said that it is difficult to determine whether Qing Yugong's art of war is true or false, and I naturally want to repay him by the same means." In the final analysis, the most difficult thing in this world is to guess the word, people's hearts are like the vast sea and unfathomable, even if it is close to the eyes, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, not to mention the distance between the sky and the world. ”

"The Imperial Driver?"

Lu Shen remembered a dynasty that had been very prosperous in his previous life, and nodded: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”

Li Duan smiled and continued: "Such a wise and martial emperor, with a monopoly on power, and an arbitrary cadre, he can temporarily tolerate the growth of the Qing Yu clan for the sake of the overall situation, and can tolerate the existence of a god of war like Qing Yugong, at most, it will only knock the mountain and shock the tiger slightly. However, I believe that he is like me, with a vision of the world and the courage to take a desperate gamble. When he found out that I was dying for a short time but was struggling, what do you think he would choose? ”

"Chen Qin is seeing Your Majesty."

Lu Shen instantly understood.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man to walk into the imperial garden with a steady pace, pass through the palace prison and guards, and go straight to the moon viewing pavilion.

Li Duan raised his hand to signal, and then said to Lu Shen: "Actually, I have never believed in the role of secret agents, after all, time and distance are practical problems that restrict the transmission of information, and many things will be meaningless after a few days or even ten days if they can't be decided at that time. However, Qin Zheng told me that the greatest role of the Warp Weaving Division is not to guess the enemy's movements on the complicated battlefield, but to bury a thorn in the enemy's heart with water grinding skills. ”

Lu Shen suddenly realized that his perspective on the problem was still limited to the war itself, and the Son of Heaven was obviously one level higher than him.

Under normal circumstances, the Son of Heaven would not risk his own life, but for a dying person, death has become an inevitable end, so why not take this opportunity to try it?

If the Son of Heaven decides to go on a personal expedition, Lu Shen and several other military ministers must make detailed plans in advance, such as the tricks to confuse the enemy in the early stage, the unified scheduling of the various units of the border army, and the selection of the final battlefield, which is obviously a very huge project.

"Flat."

"It's normal not to understand, there is no omniscient and all-powerful person in this world."

Not only Xiao Wangzhi and Li Tianrun, but also Lu Tong, Lin Jie, Li Daoyan, Xue Nanting, the Son of Heaven in front of him, and even Qing Yugong of Yu Jingguo, Lu Shen constantly explored their strengths, and then absorbed useful nutrients from them.

Li Duan took over the conversation and said unhurriedly: "I have already arranged this matter. ”

The person who came was the warp weaver who lifted Qin Zheng.

Lu Shen had a thousand twists and turns in his heart, and the words of the Son of Heaven were already trusting to him in his heart.

Li Duan exhaled slowly, looking at the few cold plums in the east corner, and the affection in his eyes quickly turned into a heroic color.

Li Duan said to Lu Shen again: "As for you, now you have to carefully plan the details of this matter, and cooperate and prepare with Xiao Wangzhi and Li Tianrun." ”

People live in the world, why are they forgetful?

He said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the minister has a sense of guilt, and he doesn't dare to forget it for a day." ”

Li Duan didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic for too long, so he said calmly: "Although I am not convinced, I have to admit that Emperor Jingguo is a brilliant master. Before the Yuanjia Change, the Jinglian people seemed to be strong and invincible, but there were great hidden dangers within them, and only by constantly expanding could they maintain their own strength. However, the territory of this world is limited after all, and as the Jing army continues to conquer the city, it is difficult for the overly large dynasty to last. It was only now that the emperor appeared, and he chose to take the initiative to stop the pace of expansion and instead improve internal stability. ”

Li Duan nodded and said: "Very good, then let the emperor in the north know that my life is not long, and in order to avoid affecting the morale of the border army soldiers, I will try my best to cover up my illness, and it is even possible that I will not mourn after my death and not inform the border army generals." ”

Li Duan raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and said warmly: "Don't think about it, I'm not beating you." Lu Shen, I still remember the first time you came to the capital three years ago, I expressed my expectations for you, and you did not disappoint me, no matter where and in the past few years, you have been able to establish meritorious services for the dynasty. In fact, there are not many things I can teach you anymore, and now there are only some techniques of speculating on people's hearts, which may be of some benefit to you in the future. ”

"Yes, the feat of dominating the world and pacifying the four seas, the glory of an emperor through the ages is a temptation that no king with great ambitions can resist."

Lu Shen honestly raised his own questions, others only knew that he had risen to the top of the rank in just a few years, and most of them were dazzled by the aura on his body, and few people noticed that he had the advantage of being extremely good at learning.

Qin Zheng looked at the Son of Heaven who was determined to follow, a deep grief surged in his heart, and he bowed his head and said, "The minister obeys the order, please rest assured that Your Majesty will do this matter seamlessly." ”

"As long as Emperor Jing seizes this opportunity, he will inevitably force Qing Yugong to make a move, and in the end, after the defeat of Jingjun, I am curious whether he will take this mistake himself, or put the blame on Qing Yugong. In any case, there will eventually be a bottomless rift between these two monarchs and ministers who have been incomparably tacit for twenty years. ”

"This is my gift to them."
