Chapter 486: Strategy and Tactics
Xiao Han glanced inside the room and almost screamed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Congshan walked behind him, and said softly: "Zhang Tingshi has sent a fast horse to report the news, you are fifty miles away from Jinling, there are already hidden dragons all the way to follow, this king knows that Xiao Zhangmen has always been anxious, so he called them over, these are all confidants, Xiao Zhangmen can rest assured to speak out." β
Xiao Han looked over one by one, but it was Yang Shu, the deputy commander of the Ma Army, Sun Zhen, the commander of the soldiers and horses, Zheng Yanhua, the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedu, Du Zhen, the Marquis of Tiande, Long Shouzheng, the prefect of Jiangning, Lai Yushan, and Luo Zizhen, the commander of Xuanzhou.
These are all military generals, and most of them are known by Xiao Han, especially Yang Shu and Sun Zhen, the three of them have worked together to recover Nanping and Wuping, and the relationship is naturally closer.
There are also three civil officials, namely Tian Yanlang, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, Xu Xuan, a member of the Zhongshu She, and Chen Qiao, a member of the Zhongshushe. These people Xiao Han didn't have much contact, but they also knew something about Chen Qiao and Xu Xuan.
Since King Zheng can call them, he is naturally a cronie among his cronies. Xiao Han thought that in real history, Xu Xuan took refuge in Zhao Kuangyin soon after the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then betrayed his old master, causing Li Yu to be poisoned by Zhao Guangyi, and he had a bad impression of him.
Xiao Han greeted everyone one by one, and when everyone saw a beautiful woman behind him, they smiled knowingly, and then saluted Mrs. Xiao. Murong Qiuyuyu's face was flushed, and seeing that Xiao Han didn't explain, it was inconvenient for a woman to talk much, so she had to return the gift in embarrassment. King Zheng was a little embarrassed, Xiao Han knew his thoughts, but he didn't break it, just smiled and said nothing.
After greeting each other, King Zheng invited them to re-seat. Xiao Han and King Zheng sat on the main seat, and Murong Qiuyu naturally sat under him. The generals and the three ministers were separated from each other, and their faces became solemn and solemn, and they looked at the two of them together.
Li Congshan's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "There is news from Qianlong, Brother Wang will deprive me of the position of prince in the near future, escort me to Tingzhou for supervision, and your official positions have also been transferred. β
He went straight to the point and briefly explained the current situation between the DPRK and China, which is nothing more than showing that they are on the same line, and that one is prosperous and the other is lost, and as for the countermeasures, it is naturally planned by his senior staff member Xiao Han.
Everyone did not speak, but looked at each other and shook their heads, and their faces turned pale. In particular, the three civil officials, thinking that the future was hopeless, and maybe they were worried about their lives, they were so frightened that their faces turned black.
Yang Shui and Sun Zhen made great contributions last time, and King Zheng handed over more guarantees, who would have thought that the two were just a viscount each, and then the Nanping fief was taken back, the two were angry, and successively handed over the chapter to resign, but they were demoted by Li Yu on the charge of "having grievances and being proud of their merits".
The two of them were depressed as you can imagine, if it weren't for King Zheng sending people to comfort them many times, they would have the heart to defect to the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, when they learned that Li Yu was going to attack the generals, both of them sneered.
Sun Zhen glanced at everyone and said coldly: "People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, does His Royal Highness King Zheng have a good countermeasure to save my life?"
Yang Shuhu's eyes widened and said: "The lord of the country is dim, perverse, and the world has been resentful for a long time, so it is better to do the opposite." As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent.
Li Congshan pretended to wave his hand and shouted: "General Yang can't be taken lightly. Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu watched coldly, and the two glanced at each other from time to time.
A few seconds later, Zheng Yanhua suddenly took the case and said in a deep voice: "The lord of the country trusts the traitors, and the deep palace is filthy, and in the long run, where will the south of the Yangtze River go? Where will the people go? Dashu was destroyed by the northern captives in a war, not thinking of danger in peace, treating the soldiers well, and actively preparing for war, but blindly punishing and suppressing talents, such a lord of the country does not want it." β
Starting with him, all the generals were rude people, and they were all cronies of King Zheng, seeing that he didn't speak, they shouted "It's the opposite, it's the opposite", and they looked at Xiao Han together as they spoke.
The faces of the three Wenchen were pale, but their faces slowly became resolute, and Chen Qiao said softly: "Rebellion has always been a crime of extermination, have you ever thought about what if you fail?"
The generals were dumbfounded, Xu Xuan suddenly shook his head and said: "As long as we plan properly, who knows that we can't succeed?" Then pointed to Xiao Han and said: "Master Xiao has become a legend in the rivers and lakes, and what he has said in the past has come true, and he has helped me to expand the territory of Jiangnan.
Everyone looked at Xiao Han together, Yang Shui was familiar with him, and said loudly: "Please ask Master Xiao to guide and plan." Everyone bowed their hands to Xiao Han and pleaded.
These should have been prepared for a long time, Xiao Han naturally knew it in his heart, turned his head to Li Congshan and smiled: "Everyone looks down on Xiao Han so highly, I really can't afford it." Just about to continue to be modest, Li Congshan had already waved his hand and said: "Brother Xiao doesn't have to be polite, the situation is critical today, if Brother Xiao doesn't give advice, we will start something rashly, it's okay to win, and if you lose, you won't recover." β
Everyone nodded together, obviously worried, and then suddenly got up at the same time and bowed to Xiao Han. Xiao Han was greatly surprised, hurriedly bowed in return, turned back and smiled at Li Congshan: "King Zheng has also learned these methods now, which is really gratifying." β
Li Congshan saw that he was relieved, and immediately smiled: "This is thanks to Brother Xiao's teaching." The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Han stretched out his hand to invite everyone to take a seat, and he also sat down, his face became serious, and his voice became low: "Li Yu has no doubt that he will do it, and the situation is really critical." Everyone nodded in unison.
Xiao Han continued: "As the old saying goes: the first strike is the strongest, and the second strike suffers. If you want to think about things, you can't do it without adequate preparation, and the probability of success in a hurry is only 1 in 10. β
Although everyone didn't understand the probability, they also understood the meaning of his words and nodded again. Xiao Han did not continue, but instead talked about the many coups in history, and combined with the coups of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, he made everyone stunned and dumbfounded, and sighed that Xiao Han was very knowledgeable, and even Murong Qiuyu next to him showed admiration on his face.
After more than half an hour, everyone finally heard him tell the example, and they all felt that the coup d'Γ©tat was not easy, and many successful examples were placed in front of them. At this thought, everyone's mentality was slightly different from before, and they began to talk softly about the terrible consequences they could think of.
Xiao Han took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, glanced at Zheng Wang Li Congshan, who was slightly pale, and smiled: "Precious and dangerous, I mean to ask you if you are ready? β
The reason why Xiao Han said this is because he knows that although Li Congshan is slightly different from Li Yu, he also has the same indecisiveness as Li Yu in his personality. If there was a mutation in the middle of the rebellion, Xiao Han did not dare to guarantee that he would not escape or surrender to Yijie, so he would be killed.
Li Congshan had also expressed to him that he was unwilling to be an enemy of Li Yu, but today, although the matter was critical, Xiao Han still couldn't believe that he would make up his mind, so he used this way to test it.
Li Congshan's face changed greatly when he heard this, his handsome face twitched, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "As long as Brother Xiao doesn't give up, this king will definitely accompany him to the end." β
All the generals followed and hugged each other, each with a resolute face, and hugged their fists to Xiao Han and said: "We are willing to advance and retreat with His Royal Highness King Zheng, please give me advice." The three ministers looked at each other and followed forward to show their loyalty.
Xiao Han glanced at everyone and said coldly: "Can you give up your family life?" Long Shouzheng, the prefect of Jiangning, said loudly: "Master Xiao just said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and he is small in the lower officials, but he is not willing to be slaughtered, as long as King Zheng gives an order, all the eleven members of my family will be given up." β
As soon as he expressed his position, all the generals were willing to lag behind, and they all expressed their loyalty. Xiao Han has watched a lot on TV, and he doesn't feel anything about it at all, just smiling and watching coldly. Murong Qiuyu was even more indifferent, as if he hadn't seen it.
King Zheng was very happy when he saw that people's hearts were available, and turned to Xiao Han and said, "Please give me advice." All the generals bowed down and clasped their fists together and said, "Please ask Master Xiao for advice." β
Xiao Han was still satisfied with their performance, and after everyone sat back, Xiao Han's face changed, and he said with a serious face: "I said so much just now, but I just told you that there has always been a rebellion without retreat, and there is no middle way, even if you defect halfway, when the situation is stable, you can't escape the head-to-head knife." β
Everyone changed color and nodded, and Xiao Han continued: "If you want to succeed, you must carefully consider your strategy and tactics. The success of Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change back then was also due to the early preparation of him and the generals, and they were even more ruthless, which led to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. β
Everyone looked at each other silently, and Xiao Han said: "Strategically, we must not ignore the enemy, and tactically we must be on the right path. The crowd nodded again.
Xiao Han then talked about his plan, everyone didn't expect that he had already prepared, and he listened to the plan very thoroughly, even considering the details, and praised him as an immortal, with unparalleled intelligence, so that Murong Qiuyu's face turned red on the side.
Li Congshan, like Zhang Quanyue, naturally wanted to raise some questions, but they were all resolved by Xiao Han one by one. Seeing that the plan was perfect, everyone's hanging hearts finally fell, and after a detailed scrutiny, Xiao Han was a little tired, leaned on the back of the chair and said: "After talking for so long, I am a little hungry, the official family is not short of hungry soldiers, can King Zheng get some food?"
Everyone laughed, and they all said that they were really hungry, and they must beat King Zheng's autumn wind today. Li Congshan was naturally prepared, and took Long Shouzheng and Tian Yanlang out, and after a while, the three of them came over with a few plates and plates, all of which were all kinds of seasonal fresh fruits.
Everyone was really hungry and began to talk while eating, Sun Zhen asked Xiao Han about his experience after the Battle of Nanping, Xiao Han naturally said them one by one, plus some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, and he was stunned when he heard these officialdom and civil and military affairs, and he envied Xiao Han's colorful life.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the generals were secretly sent away by the guards of King Zheng's Mansion under the cover of night, and Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu rested in the stone house above the secret room. I don't know if Li Congshan forgot or deliberately, and left after saying goodbye to him in a hurry, leaving the prospective husband and wife who were on the same roof.
