Chapter 27 A Very Large Game of Chess

readx;? Huang Xiaoqiang said such words a little hurtful, but it was a better incentive for them, if they didn't understand such a simple truth, let them be the generals who were in charge of the army, it would be like killing the soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

As the so-called battle strategy, what the Chu army needs most now is time, as long as the rear is stabilized, it will be easier to attack. No matter how bad Liu Xian is in the military, he is also a good official for the benefit of the people, if he rashly attacks Yizhou, the people will resist the Chu army for Liu Xian. At that time, even if Yizhou is laid, it will not be able to win the hearts of the people of Yizhou, after all, Yizhou is different from Yangzhou, where the people are hungry. If it is not defeated, the situation will be even worse, and the advantages that have been built up will be buried in an instant, and at that time, Wagangzhai north of the Yangtze River and Yu Wenhua and father and son stationed in Jiangdu will take the opportunity to use troops to the south.

Huang Xiaoqiang let the Yizhou soldiers go back, the purpose is naturally to have bargaining chips to make peace, only the victor is easier to make peace, and this point was specially put forward by Ximen Qing in his reply to him, so the lobbyist will naturally be sent by Ximen Qing in the future. Moreover, Zhao Yin is indeed a talent, and if he is killed, it will inevitably arouse too much anger. After all, when Zhao Yin was prime minister, his protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the world, and many officials in Yizhou were promoted by him. That Ren Li was just jealous that Zhao Yin's strength was too strong, so he deliberately went against him. If Zhao Yin is unconditionally released, and there is that Ren Li, you can provoke the contradiction between Zhao Yin and Liu Xian, even if there is no serious contradiction, and then Zhao Yin's various suggestions, Liu Xian will also consider it more to prevent Zhao Yin from having turned his heart into Jing Chu.

Huang Xiaoqiang looked at the confused generals, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Chengdu is going to visit Di sooner or later." As for the reasoning, if you still don't understand, go back and read more military books. Okay, each of them went back to the camp to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and the whole army rested for three days, and after three days, General Ben still had arrangements. ”

Three days later, Huang Xiaoqiang ordered people to dig around the barren mountains near the Yaoting Pavilion to make it easier for the people to farm here in the future. At the same time, it also avoided the damage caused by the severe mudslide caused by the rain after the autumn, and after everything was over, he returned to Xiangyang with high morale.

After Liu Xian finally returned to Chengdu, the news that Zhao Yin's father and son were captured alive also spread to Chengdu. Just as Liu Xian prepared a large amount of money and grain to send to Jingzhou for exchange, he received news that Zhao Yin's father and son and the captured soldiers were sent back. At this moment, Liu Xian had all kinds of conjectures in his heart. On the day the news came, Ren Li found Liu Xian to advise.

Ren Li pleaded, "My lord, since ancient times, the exchange of prisoners of war requires a lot of money and food, and now that Zhao Yin can come back safely so quickly, there must be fraud in it." Lord, you can be on guard against him. ”

Liu Xianxin said, "Won't I be clear about this? I don't need you to say it, I also have to guard against him." But this kind of thing naturally can't be said to the courtiers. Liu Xian smiled coldly, "Master Ren, no matter what, Master Zhao and you are both my loyal courtiers, now that he will finally come back, why do I have to guard against him, is it possible that I also have to guard against you?"

Ren Li looked at Liu Xianpi smiling, panicked in his heart, and immediately knelt down, at the end of this Eastern Crusade, it was because of the mistake in his suggestion that led to the defeat, since returning to Chengdu, Ren Li is indeed not as favored as before. Ren Li said, "My lord, my subordinates are loyal, and a sincere heart can show the sun and the moon." ”

Liu Xian was still smiling, and said with hatred in his heart, "If it weren't for your previous loyalty, this time you would have ten heads and not enough for me to cut off." Liu Xian said, "Ren Li, I naturally know your loyalty better than anyone else." Get up, anyway, I blame Zhao Yin for not listening to Zhao Yin's advice in this battle, he is back, we should go out of the city to receive him. ”

Although Liu Xian said that there was nothing to do, he did not listen to Zhao Yin's advice when he mentioned this battle, so he naturally alluded to Ren Li's suggestion that it was too bad, and Ren Li couldn't say anything more. Because Liu Xian should not be able to believe in Ren Li anymore for a while, even if Ren Li's starting point is good.

"Strategist, what are you talking about? Huang Xiaoqiang put you back without Liu Sheng's consent?" In Liu Xian's opinion, it took several days for Xiangyang to pass the message to Yaoting, according to Zhao Yin, this Huang Xiaoqiang let people go without asking his lord Liu Sheng's opinion, and did not make any requests. Liu Xian didn't believe the enemy's excessive generosity. Liu Xian already has a script in his heart, that is, Zhao Yin's father and son have secretly surrendered to the enemy.

However, what Liu Xian didn't expect was that in addition to Huang Xiaoqiang's divine calculation, Liu Sheng and Ximen Qing in Xiangyang were also divine calculations, and they had already guessed the outcome of the victory, so they designed everything and told Huang Xiaoqiang to act better. In the final analysis, this is a big game of chess played by Liu Sheng, and Huang Xiaoqiang is just the one who laid it out.

Zhao Yin nodded and returned, "That's right, lord, Huang Xiaoqiang didn't mention any requirements. However, if my guess is correct, there should be a lobbyist from Jingzhou after a while to make peace with us. ”

Ren Li laughed, "Huang Xiaoqiang and they have won a big victory, and now Liu Sheng, the king of Chu, is even more powerful, they will sue for peace with us, it's a joke." ”

Liu Xian glared at Ren Li angrily, as if to say, "It's not all your bad idea. Liu Xian still smiled at Zhao Yin, "Military Division, what Military Master Ren said is also the question in my heart, can you explain it?"

Zhao Yin thought about it and explained the details of several questions asked to Huang Xiaoqiang at that time. To put it bluntly, this is the Chu army's next various policies to support the people. After Zhao Yin finished speaking, he said, "My lord, after this battle, I, Yizhou, have a shortage of soldiers, and the treasury cannot make ends meet. The most important thing at the moment is to support the people, if the Chu army is willing to stop fighting with us, it will naturally be better. ”

Liu Xian thought about it carefully, and felt that what Zhao Yin said was also very reasonable. However, because he was already suspicious of Zhao Yin in his heart, he only believed some. After waiting, someone from Jingzhou came to negotiate, and Liu first ordered Zhao Yin to negotiate. After that, an armistice was signed.

However, although this armistice agreement was signed, Liu Xian still couldn't trust Zhao Yin and Jingzhou, so he gradually weakened the military power of Zhao's father and son, and finally directly let Zhao Yin and Zhao Wouji serve as civilian officials. Although Ren Li was the key to this defeat, Liu Xian still fully believed in Ren Li's loyalty, and handed over the military power to Ren Li, letting Ren Li assist his beloved young son Liu Yang and put his eldest son Liu Xiu aside. Ren Li is Liu Yang's uncle, so naturally he wants to be like this.

The game of chess played by Jingzhou was to weaken Zhao Yin's prestige in Yizhou and make Liu Xian even more mediocre, with everything that Liu Xian arranged later. In this game of chess, it can only be said that Liu Sheng and Ximen Qing won. (To be continued.) )
