Han Dao world

Chapter 14 Ginger is old and spicy

"Hedong." Liu Xie said lightly.

Shi Sunrui frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly.He raised his head and stared into Liu Xie's eyes.

"Go to Hedong first, and then to Taiyuan." Liu Xie said while drawing on the ground. "Leaning on the Taihang on the left, relying on the great river on the right, garrisoning fields and planting valleys, training soldiers and protecting the people, so as to observe the changes in the world."

Shi Sunrui gasped, his eyes changed a few times, and when he looked at Liu Xie again, he was a little more surprised and awed.

The emperor's vision is so high and the structure is so big, far beyond his expectations.

Although this strategy is rough and difficult to implement, it has more opportunities than returning to Luoyang.

After being pleasantly surprised, Shi Sunrui calmed down and reminded: "Your Majesty, in the world of Luoyang, the Son of Heaven does not live, and someone will take advantage of it."

Liu Xie said with a smile: "When Emperor Gao was in hibernation in Hanzhong, Xiang Yu called himself the overlord of Western Chu, and when he was about to rule the world, why not stop at Luoyang?"

Sun Rui blinked his eyes. "Xiang Yu was crowned with a monkey, and died a worthy death. But now that the Guandong Prefectures and counties are rising together, all the people with great insight may not be Xiang Yu."

Liu Xie smiled even brighter. "When Emperor Gao entered Xianyang, Ziying abdicated and wished to be the King of Qin. If the fate of the Han Dynasty is over, and there are people in Guandong Prefecture who are like Emperor Gao, I would like to obey the fate and follow Ziying to resign from the throne to treat the sages. But if they just Xiang Yu, I have no choice but to do what I can, follow the story of Emperor Guangwu, and continue my luck for the great man for a few more years."

Shi Sun Rui raised his eyebrows and stared at Liu Xie for a while. "Your Majesty, this..."

"This is what I say from the bottom of my heart." Liu Xie said word by word: "I hope Wei Wei learns from it."

Shi Sun Rui was startled slightly, the long-lost excitement welled up in his chest, and his eyes couldn't help getting moist.He stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed.

"Received the grace of the country, I am willing to pledge myself to the country and serve your Majesty like a dog and a horse. I will die."

The emperor treats him as a national scholar and entrusts him with a sincere heart, so he should naturally commit himself to the country.

Liu Xie also stood up and returned the salute respectfully. "Weiwei will not fail me, and I will not fail Weiwei. You and my monarchs and ministers will work together to build peace, and do our best for the great man and the suffering people of the world."

"only!"

"Wei Wei, please sit down." Liu Xie pulled Sun Rui back into his seat and explained the current situation in detail.

Shi Sunrui is the mainstay of his high hopes. The deeper the understanding of the plan, the more effective it will be executed.

His plan is simple.

Since the Kanto is in chaos and Luoyang cannot return, then go to Hedong and Bingzhou.

In order to achieve this goal, he not only had to break through Zhang Ji's blocking, but also deal with the possible pursuit of Li Jue and Guo Si at any time.

The main force of the Forbidden Army was vulnerable, and the strength of the three generals Yang Feng was also limited, not enough to deal with Zhang Ji, Li Jue, and Guo Si at the same time, so while preventing Yang Feng from merging with Duan Yan, he sent Yang Biao to persuade Duan Yan and sent Huangfu Li went to stabilize Zhang Ji so that he could free up his hands and concentrate his forces to face Li Jue and Guo Si.

Even so, he still had little chance of winning.Li Jue and Guo Si have fought for a long time, and Xiliang soldiers are brave. If you want to defeat them, you must be fully prepared.

The rectification of the forbidden army is an important step, and the guards under the command of Shi Sun Rui and the fifth school of the Northern Army are even more important.

After hearing Liu Xie's plan, Shi Sun Rui was surprised and delighted.

The Son of Heaven not only has an overall vision and grasps the situation of the world, but also thinks a lot about the situation in front of him.

It is not easy to stand tall, see far, and be more down-to-earth. It is not easy to get one end, let alone both.

Deng Quan is right, the emperor has changed, but he has become smarter.

This is an auspicious omen of the great man's unfinished destiny, and it is also the true meaning of the vision that descended from heaven a few days ago.

Thinking of these, Shi Sun Rui felt that the blood that had been silent for a long time was getting hot again.

Even so, he said without hesitation: "Your Majesty's words are true. It's just that the forbidden army is neglected in battle and can't be used. The three generals are rebellious, and they are at odds with each other. They can't rely on it as a dry city. Take the initiative to attack and fight for victory. Wildness is tantamount to taking death."

Liu Xie nodded with a smile. "According to Weiwei's opinion, what should we do?"

Shi Sun Rui took the dagger from Liu Xie and drew a few lines on the ground, causing the loess to fly. "According to the minister's opinion, we should set up camps in these places and wait for work with ease..."

Liu Xie listened quietly.

A few days ago, Zhong Yao took a few people to check the nearby map and added many details that were not originally on the map.After listening to the report, Liu Xie had a relatively accurate grasp of the nearby terrain, and he could understand what Shi Sun Rui said.

Generally speaking, Shi Sunrui's plan coincides with his plan.

Whether it is the Imperial Army, Yang Ding, or Dong Cheng, they are not strong enough to face Li Jue and Guo Si head-on, so defending against danger has become one of the few choices.Sanfu had a severe drought last year, and the people were displaced, and many people went out to flee. The nearby people were sparsely populated, and the food that could be looted was limited. Li Jue and Guo Si could not hold on for long, at most ten days and a half months, and they would inevitably run out of food and retreat.

Therefore, the key to victory is to find a terrain suitable for defense, and then find a way to store enough food.

The only fly in the ointment is that Shi Sunrui's plan is defensive but not offensive.

Liu Xie patiently listened to Shi Sun Rui's plan, thought for a while, and then said: "The art of war says that both offense and defense are available. Why is this plan defensive or not?"

Shi Sunrui returned the dagger with both hands, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the current situation is more than enough to defend, but not enough to attack. Rather than risking an attack, it is better to be defensive and wait for the enemy to retreat. Then the whole army will advance eastward and force Zhang Ji to bow his head. Your Majesty can cross the river safely. , and stationed in Hedong. In the future, if you have successfully trained your troops and stockpiled provisions, it is not too late to fight Li Jue and Guo Si again."

Liu Xie frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said again: "What if you invite the Baibo army to help?"

Introducing the Baibo army as aid has always been the focus of his plan, but he did not take the initiative to mention it because of the minister's prejudice against the Baibo army.

"Baibo Army?" Shi Sun Rui was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's impossible."

"Why?"

"Among the three generals, Yang Feng is the bravest and always has arrogance. With the help of the Baibo army, Yang Feng will be in great difficulty, and he will not know how to be domineering in the future."

Liu Xie looked at Sun Rui, noncommittal.

Shi Sunrui said earnestly: "Your Majesty, everything can be done with forewarning, and nothing can be done without forewarning. When His Majesty is stationed in Hedong, naturally he has to contact the Baibo army, but at this moment, using the Baibo army for help will have little benefit but great harm."

“How come you see?”

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly. The imperial court was first controlled by Dong Zhuo, then by Li Jue and Guo Si, and the majesty was swept away. If the Baibo army is used as a reinforcement, even if Li Jue and Guo Si are defeated, the Baibo army will be cited as their own merit. In the future, your majesty will go to Hedong , It is also relying on others, unable to be independent. Why don't we repel Li Jue and Guo Si with the current force, so as to show that the imperial court still has the strength to fight."

After Shi Sun Rui finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xie with piercing eyes and earnest eyes.

After Liu Xie thought for a while, he understood what Shi Sun Rui meant, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Older gingers are more spicy.Shi Sunrui is worthy of being a veteran minister with a meticulous mind.If you really want to use the Baibo army as your own plan, even if you defeat Li Jue and Guo Si, it will not be a good thing, but may cause disaster.

"What Qing said is true." Liu Xie was bitter in his heart, showing a self-deprecating smile.

"Your Majesty...do you think it's feasible?" Shi Sun Rui asked cautiously.

Liu Xie understood Shi Sun Rui's meaning and smiled slightly. "Not only is it feasible, but it is absolutely necessary."

Shi Sun Rui felt relieved, stroked his beard and smiled.
