My players are all actors

Chapter 328 Who Are You Now?

However, even if these Turkic rebels were dealt with, the battle of Hulaoguan personally commanded by Li Hongyun was still difficult.

It can even be said to be a fancy failure.

The first failure was when Wang Shichong accidentally broke through the siege, and Liang Jun's siege was unfavorable. He lost a battle and was forced to retreat.

Although Li Hongyun quickly organized his men to kill Dou Jiande after the retreat, but he planted a hole when he went to Hulao Pass to guard Dou Jiande later.

King Qin and King Qi went to Hulao Pass to defend Dou Jiande, but in history, Wang Shichong, who was frightened, dared not fight again.

Unexpectedly, this time, perhaps because of Liang Jun's previous defeat, Wang Shichong did not completely become a frightened bird. Instead, after both King Qin and King Qi left, he forcibly organized the hungry soldiers under him to kill them. Liang Jun was caught off guard.

In this battle, although Liang Jun's losses were not too heavy, Wang Shichong's morale was greatly boosted, and he also grabbed a lot of supplies.

This paved the way for Wang Shichong's next attack.

During the confrontation between King Qi and King Qin and Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, Wang Shichong continued to lead his troops into battle, winning consecutive battles and causing heavy losses to the Liang army who besieged Luoyang.

Li Hongyun was very angry, so he started again.

There are two ways to solve this problem. The first way is to be on guard all the time during the siege of Luoyang. Wang Shichong would beat him once if he dared to leave the city once.

The second way is to simply leave King Qin behind and continue attacking Luoyang.

Li Hongyun chose the latter after thinking about it.

Because the first method requires him to continue to fight the siege of Luoyang again, which is a waste of time.

Keeping King Qin here can not only ensure that nothing will go wrong, but also prevent King Qin from going to Hulao Pass to grab his credit.

Although it is a bit overkill, for Li Hongyun, his only goal at this time is to successfully pass the customs and win the change of Xuanwu Gate.

The second failure was because Dou Jiande inexplicably arrived at Hulao Pass three days earlier and occupied the pass city first.

Li Hongyun was dumbfounded for a moment, and all the original scripts were cancelled.

Under Dou Jiande's superior force, although Liang Jun fought bravely, it was still difficult to prevent the enemy from coming to Luoyang City to join forces with Wang Shichong.

Li Hongyun had to start all over again.

He reviewed the reason and found that it was not because Dou Jiande was early, but because he was late.

According to the original history, the general guarding Hulao Pass surrendered to the Liang Dynasty one step ahead, so King Qin traveled day and night and organized elite cavalry to take over Hulao Pass as quickly as possible.

But this time, for some unknown reason, the general hesitated, and did not make up his mind to surrender to the Liang Dynasty until three days later.

So by the time King Qi played by Li Hongyun received the news and rushed over, it was already too late.

Li Hongyun was very angry. He analyzed the reason and thought that there were two possible reasons.

The first one may be that his prestige is still not as good as that of the real King Qin in history, especially his reputation in terms of courteous corporals and clear rewards and punishments.

That's why the general defending the Hulao Pass hesitated, probably because he felt that he might not get enough preferential treatment after coming under King Qi's command.

The second possibility is that he did not take the initiative to send people to lobby and instigate rebellion, but waited passively.

The historical records record that the guard of Hulao Pass offered the pass, but they don't say anything about the guard's mental journey.

Li Hongyun subconsciously thought that he was here to take the initiative to contribute, but now that he thought about it, he felt that things might not be that simple.Behind this, it is likely to be the embodiment of King Qin's powerful intelligence capabilities.

So this time, he sent people to pay a lot of money to surrender, and the soldiers were extremely quick, and he finally took the first step to occupy Hulao Pass.

For the third time, Li Hongyun confronted Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass as he wished.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the confrontation, Tan Ma suddenly came to report, and Dou Jiande ran away!

Li Hongyun was shocked and led his troops in pursuit. Only then did he discover that Dou Jiande had really abandoned Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and instead adopted Ling Jing's strategy of "crossing Taihang and joining the Shangdang" to attack Hedong instead.

Taking advantage of the entanglement between Liang Jun and Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande decided to set off first to grab the territory.

Li Hongyun was a little confused, no!The script is not like this!

When he played Dou Jiande before, he knew the situation there very well.

It stands to reason that all the generals under Dou Jiande were bribed by Wang Shichong?Don't you strongly oppose this plan?
Did Dou Jiande mistakenly think that his subordinates were high-spirited, so he didn't adopt this plan, but continued to attack Hulao Pass?

Why did the script change again this time?
After thinking hard for a while, Li Hongyun realized that maybe... Those generals who were bribed by Wang Shichong may not have the shadow of King Qin behind them!
Obviously, this kind of intelligence and instigation work is completely placed on others, which is extremely uncontrollable.

If you want to make your opponent always act according to your plan as much as possible, the safest way is to build a powerful intelligence network yourself.

Scouting, instigation, planning... Only by taking all these things into your own hands can you ensure that every step is within your plan.

So, Li Hongyun started again.

This time he began to focus on arranging the intelligence network, and personally intervened in the placement of spies in Dou Jiande's army. During the confrontation, he not only focused on cavalry harassment, but also focused on intelligence work.

For the fourth time, everything went well, but when they attacked Wang Shichong's main formation, the two sides fell into a fierce battle.

As a result, fighting and fighting, an army suddenly mutinied, Liang Jun, who was in a good situation, was suddenly turned around, and Li Hongyun himself died in the chaos.

Liang Jun then completely collapsed.

Li Hongyun resumed the game again angrily, only to realize that the collapse was due to a small incident.

It's because he didn't distinguish between rewards and punishments.

In the previous battles between Ping Xueju, Ping Liu Wu, Zhou Song, and Song Jingang, although he fought bravely and took the lead, he established authority to a certain extent and firmly controlled the military power in his own hands, but he did not pay too much attention to the post-war rewards. Ask too much.

After accepting Liang Gaozu's reward, he just glanced at the list of rewards handed in by his subordinates, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he carried it out.

But he didn't know that there were actually many unreasonable things on this reward list.

During the Great War, many low-level military officers fought tough battles, but did not receive enough generous rewards; while some related households seemed to be very useful, but in fact their achievements were exaggerated, and instead they received more rewards.

And sometimes, there were not many victories after a tough battle, and the court did not have so many rewards. Li Hongyun did not choose to make up for the rewards himself, but just made do with the rewards given by the court.

When he first started leading the army, this problem had not yet appeared.

Because the soldiers still have expectations for the future. After all, they are still winning battles at this time, and the soldiers feel that there will be opportunities for rewards in the future.

But after defeating Xue Ju and Liu Wuzhou, the two powerful enemies, the problem of rewards still existed, so the grievances of many soldiers deepened.

In addition, Li Hongyun did not dismantle the establishment and still let many demoted generals lead the old department, which exacerbated this risk.

This time again, Li Hongyun corrected these problems, with clear rewards and punishments.

Not only did he always pay attention to the specific tasks and execution of each middle-level and grass-roots general during the battle, but he also strictly asked about the subsequent rewards.

Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded heavily, and those who have done wrong will be punished heavily.

And for those who have their own thoughts when submitting military merits, they will be punished lightly and severely beaten.

If the soldiers have made outstanding achievements in battle, but the booty is not enough, and the rewards from the court are not enough, then reward the soldiers out of their own pockets.

Only in this way can the three armed forces be guaranteed to use their lives and strive to be the first.

Otherwise, at the critical moment, it is very likely that a sudden mutiny of a certain army will make a big battle come to naught.

……

Trying again and again, Li Hongyun can find a new shortcoming every time he tries.

He constantly makes up for these shortcomings by changing his natural skills or taking advantage of his familiarity with history and his ability to repeat it infinitely.

Finally, relying on various innate skills and his own continuous learning, he built the King Qi of this world into an all-round polygonal warrior.

Can strategize, calculate every move of the opponent, and formulate a perfect battle plan;

You can lead Yuchi Jingde and other fierce generals to charge into the battle, and the arrows are like gods, and the arrows are not in vain;
Can build a powerful intelligence network, and even be able to instigate the opponent's generals;
The rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and both grace and power are given, and the soldiers are extremely admirable.

Relying on absolute hard power, Li Hongyun finally won the battle of Hulaoguan, and captured the two kings in one battle, making great military exploits.

Liang Gaozu was overjoyed and named him General Tiance to lead the Tiance Mansion.

But in the subsequent rebellion of Liu Heita, Liang Gaozu did not let King Qi lead the army, but let King Qin go to quell it.

As a result, there was also a situation where the prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Qi stood up against each other.

There is no doubt about the status of the prince. Even if Liang Gaozu forced him to lift him, he would lift the prince to the highest position.

Although King Qin did not achieve as much military exploits as in real history, he participated in several battles, and he did not simply play soy sauce like King Qi in history, but also played an important role. He is deeply loved in the military.

Under Liang Gaozu's deliberate balance, King Qin took Liu Heita and pacified Hebei. Although his military exploits were slightly inferior to King Qi's, he was still quite powerful.

As for the king of Qi played by Li Hongyun, let alone, he captured two kings in one battle and was unsealable. Coupled with strategic planning and clear rewards and punishments, the civil servants and generals under him are enough to stand up to the king of Qin.

Then, the Turks began to invade.

Qin Wang and Qi Wang each led a team to attack, and the Turks fled.

In the battle of Wulongban, the king of Qin and the king of Qi rode out together and crossed the ditch. Jieli Khan was so frightened that he fled overnight.

But internal conflicts intensified.

Although most of King Qin's achievements were preempted by Li Hongyun, King Qin's ability and prestige are still there.

He still has Qin Shubao and other generals under him, as well as many famous ministers to assist him.Although it is different from the situation where the stars of Tiance Mansion shined in real history, its strength should not be underestimated.

Moreover, the light of Tiance Mansion was no longer so dazzling this time, so Liang Gaozu no longer focused on suppressing him.

On the contrary, King Qi, played by Li Hongyun, received more suppression.

Obviously, after unifying the world, Liang Gaozu was more wary of King Qi than King Qin.

Because Liang Gaozu suddenly realized that this son is really terrible!

As early as 15 years old, he accurately predicted the situation in the troubled times, and then he used soldiers like gods to calm the world.

I thought King Qin was a peerless genius born in the world, but I didn't expect that compared with King Qi, he could only be eclipsed, and he played support steadily.

What a threat such a son would be to his throne!

Since King Qin could calculate the failures of Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande, as well as the date of Xue Ju's death, he might not be able to calculate the date of death of his own father.

The image of "wisdom but close to the demon" caused great panic to the former enemies.

But now, this panic finally came to Liang Gaozu.

Liang Gaozu began to beat the king of Qi constantly, and of course the crown prince, together with Zhang Jieyu, Yin Defei and other favorite concubines, blew in Liang Gaozu's ear.

On the contrary, King Qin often speaks kindly to King Qi.

After all, although King Qin has been suppressed by King Qi all the time, he still admires this wise brother who is close to monsters from the bottom of his heart, and believes that as long as the brothers work together, they can govern this huge country well.

But this behavior made Liang Gaozu even more vigilant.

Because anyone can see the strength of King Qin and King Qi. If these two join forces, let alone the prince, even Liang Gaozu's position will be easily overthrown.

As a result, Liang Gaozu began to blatantly sideline, and at the same time suppressed King Qin and King Qi together.

The generals under Li Hongyun were dismantled, the civil servants were transferred to the Prince's Mansion, and all the private soldiers under his control were also dismantled.

And there are as many as 4000 people in the Prince's Mansion as private soldiers.

At this point, Li Hongyun finally became anxious.

Because he realized that it was impossible for him to wait until the Taibai Jingtian incident, and if he waited any longer, his influence would be completely cut off.

At that time, even if the change of Xuanwumen really happened, the 4000 people brought by the prince would be enough to drown him with the crowd tactics.

As for the King of Qin... he cannot protect himself now.

Moreover, it is impossible for Li Hongyun to count on King Qin, if he waits for King Qin to do something, maybe he and the crown prince will be killed together.

At this moment, Yuchi Jingde came to Qi Wang's mansion and reported a news.

"Your Majesty summons the Crown Prince and King Qin into the palace tomorrow."

Li Hongyun couldn't help being refreshed, and subconsciously looked at his own bow and arrow.

Then, he stretched out his hand, and tightly held the big bow that had accompanied him in battles for many years.

"Call the dead, enter the palace tomorrow!"

Can't wait too much, he doesn't have that much time.

In history, King Qin had to be cautious when initiating the Xuanwumen Change, because the consequences would be disastrous if it failed.

But Li Hongyun doesn't need to be too careful. After all, he who is "wise and close to a demon" can choose to start over.

……

Li Hongyun had already completed all the preparations for the Xuanwumen Incident.

He Chang and Li Hongyun, who guarded the Xuanwu Gate, had paid more attention during the campaign, and they had been recruited in advance.

Yuchi Jingde had already been taken under his command by him.

Although the king of Qin still had some fierce generals under his command, Li Hongyun attached great importance to the secrecy work this time. Under the sudden attack, he was confident that the king of Qin would not be able to organize enough manpower.

Although the private soldiers in the prince's hands at this time were several times that of the king of Qin, the one Li Hongyun was most afraid of was still the king of Qin.

Leading the troops into the Xuanwu Gate, Li Hongyun sent Yuchi Jingde to lead a hundred cavalry to ambush, while he personally led the troops to find Liang Gaozu, and invited the father to go to Haichi for a cruise.

It's not very good to do this. In real history, this task should be completed by Hou Junji.

But Li Hongyun is just a player, he doesn't need to think about how to record in history books, and he doesn't need to care about the subsequent impact of this matter.

He just needs to win the Xuanwu Gate Change at this moment.

Therefore, he chose the safest way.

After controlling Liang Gaozu and many ministers and inviting them to row boats on the sea pool, Yuchi Jingde also started an ambush against the prince and King Qin.

But the Prince and the King of Qin were not in the same group, so they did not act at the same time.

The king of Qin entered first, but soon realized that the situation was wrong, so he rode his horse and fled eastward.

But Yuchi Jingde decided to kill the prince first after weighing things up.

After Li Hongyun turned back, he learned that King Qin had escaped, and immediately sent his generals to pursue him.

Although the king of Qin was extremely brave, under the siege and interception of hundreds of cavalry, he could only be captured in the end.

Yuchi Jingde, who was soaked in blood, persuaded: "Your Majesty! The King of Qin is heroic and powerful, and his ambition is in the world. If your Majesty wants to secure the throne, you should kill him immediately!"

Other generals also asked for orders.

Clearly, there is no mercy in brutal power struggles.

As long as King Qin is alive, these hero groups in the Qi Palace are a huge threat.

Li Hongyun sighed softly.

In fact, if there is such a king of Qi in history, then King Qin will be the emperor, and King Qi will lead the army to level the Quartet. The two brothers will create a super dynasty that is more powerful than the rule of Zhenguan in history.

But that is unlikely after all.

Because Qin Wang and Qi Wang are both "monarchs" rather than famous generals.

The role played by King Qi under King Qin may not necessarily surpass Li Jing, but the threat to the throne is much greater than Li Jing.

Finally, Li Hongyun still made up his mind to bring this trial to a successful conclusion.

"Second brother, no, King Qin.

"Perhaps you don't know, in order to really defeat you, I have tried countless times.

"Now I finally won, but it's nothing to be proud of.

"At the end, do you have any last words?"

Li Hongyun looked at King Qin, and he never thought before that that he could really defeat this genius.

Of course, his success is achieved by relying on the blessing of a large number of golden talent skills, the foresight to understand history, and the infinite replay in the game.

Therefore, he is not proud and proud, but a little disappointed.

If he becomes emperor, can he really do better than King Qin?
Obviously, that's not possible.

However, what Li Hongyun did not expect was that the bound King Qin actually showed a meaningful smile.

"Fourth brother, I just want to ask you a question."

Li Hongyun nodded: "Just ask."

The corner of King Qin's mouth continued to rise: "Who are you now?

"Is it King Qi or King Qin?"
