I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 34
Under Liu Bian's order, Zhao Chun took a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty and spread it on the small table surrounded by Liu Bian, Lu Zhi, Huang Fusong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun.

Seeing this map, Huangfusong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun couldn't help but look at each other. After all, it seems that this kind of national map usually only appears in the Chongde Palace, the Sangong Mansion, and the official offices of the various ministries of the imperial court. It stands to reason that he would not appear in the residence of a ten-year-old prince.

Now that this object appears here, it is enough to show that this Marquis Shi is really thinking about putting down the Liangzhou rebels. Grandstanding.

It's not that Liu Bian didn't notice the suspicion in the eyes of the three of Huangfusong, but he didn't care. After all, if it were him, he didn't believe that a ten-year-old could come up with any good suggestions. Instead of wasting time explaining something, it would be better to Speaking out the plan in their hearts convinced the three of them.

So he didn't say much, and went directly to the topic, and said to the people with a straight face: "...the old grandson said that soldiers are deceitful. Therefore, if you can, you can show that you can't, and if you use it, you can show that you don't need it. Today in Liangzhou The rebels are powerful, their soldiers and horses are majestic, and they are better than the imperial court. Therefore, the first thing to do is to attack the rebels in terms of momentum, and send one or a few heavyweights to conquer..."

When he said these words, he couldn't help thinking of General He Jin, and then he couldn't help but secretly scolded Dong Zhong for being stupid.

Originally, if Dong Zhong had been more subtle and prettier, maybe Liu Bian would have secretly helped him and transferred General He Jin away from Luoyang in the name of beating thieves. It's a pity that Dong Zhong was too much in the temple. Young and immature, a few words revealed the real purpose, which aroused the vigilance of He Jin, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu. Now it is basically impossible to transfer General He Jin to conquer the rebels in Liangzhou.

Feeling regretful secretly, Liu Bian raised his head to look at Huangfusong and the other three, and continued, "...for example, the three of you."

"The three of us going together?" Zhang Wen asked in surprise.

"Hmm." Liu Bian nodded and said: "In the past when the Yellow Turban rioted, the imperial court sent Lu Shi, Du Xianghou, and Zhu Taifu to fight against it. Although the Liangzhou rebels were not as powerful as the Yellow Turbans, they were stronger than the Yellow Turbans. It is safer to go to the conquest."

He pointed to the map and continued: "Sun Tzu said: In the past, those who were good fighters first fought for the invincible, and waited for the enemy to be victorious. At that time, you might as well use one person as Jing Zhaoyin, who sits in Chang'an as the rear of the counter-insurgency; one person patrols Three assistants, as an assistant; one person personally went to the front line of Hanyang County to command and suppress the bandits...Since the rebel army is so strong, my court must be more cautious and cautious.

Such an arrangement can not only deter the rebels, let the rebels know our court's determination to put down the chaos, but also stabilize the hearts of the people in Chang'an and Sanfu, so as not to breed panic. "

After hearing this, Huangfusong, Zhang Wen and Zhu Jun nodded one after another.

Although they all understood the truth, they were quite surprised to see that Liu Bian was able to think so carefully and cautiously at such a young age.

At this time, I heard Liu Bian say again: "This is the foundation of this battle, and it cannot be changed: after the battle between the front line and the rebels, Chang'an is responsible for stabilizing the rear, transporting food, supplies, and other needs to the front line; Guard to prevent the rebels from bypassing Hanyang and plundering Sanfu and even Chang'an. If the frontline sergeants are exhausted, the three parties can discuss rotation."

"Good." Lu Zhi praised, and the three of Huangfusong also nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Bian said again: "Secondly, let's talk about fighting the rebels. Jin Wanguo, Han Sui, Ma Teng and other thieves are from Liangzhou themselves, and they are quite famous in Liangzhou. Familiar with the local landforms, occupy the best location. Although he is a bandit, he has all the people and the best location, so it is difficult to win with a quick attack. Therefore, if the three lead troops to go out, they should first build high barriers and focus on training elites to avoid the enemy It is not advisable to blindly seek victory... I am a big man who has fourteen states. How can I be invincible if I gather the manpower and material resources of thirteen states to attack one state? Don't worry."

"Shi Hou Mingjian."

Huangfusong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun looked at Liu Bian suspiciously, feeling incredible in their hearts.

They were worried that this Shihou layman would guide the experts and give them random advice, but now after listening to them, they were surprised to find that what Shihou said made sense, and even saw it more clearly than they did. We must also firmly believe that we will win this battle.

"Combining the manpower and material resources of thirteen states to attack one state, how can it be invincible? Well said, if in the past... alas!"

Zhang Wen murmured with emotion on his face. Although he didn't finish the second half of the sentence, everyone understood what he wanted to say.

"cough."

Huangfusong coughed lightly to remind Zhang Wen, and immediately argued to Liu: "What Shihou said really made us ashamed, and we couldn't think about it. However, Wang Guo, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others are all engaged in military affairs in Liangzhou. My background is definitely not within the reach of reckless men like Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou. Shihou wants us to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and focus on cultivating elites. I am afraid that the rebels will not let us do what we want. Why?"

What he said actually meant to test Liu Bian. He wanted to see how smart this Marquis Shi, who was praised by Lu Zhi for being smart, was, so he asked a very in-depth question.

Without even thinking about it, Liu Bian said, "Those who are invincible must defend; those who can be victorious must attack. The invincible lies in oneself, and the victorious lies in the enemy."

Huangfusong nodded secretly, and asked again: "How to take the initiative and delay the enemy? I mentioned earlier that Wang Guo, Han Sui, and Ma Teng are a few people. Han Sui is a famous scholar in Liangzhou, and the other two are the governors of Liangzhou. The military officer and Sima under my command have all learned the art of war, Shi Hou wants me to build high walls, defend first and then attack, to avoid the enemy's sharp edge, but if we really go to the front line, I am afraid that the other side will not allow me to do so."

To his surprise, Liu Bian seemed to have thought about this question a long time ago, and replied without hesitation: "He hits his, and I hit mine. Although I am opposed to immediately fighting the rebels, I advocate fighting the rebels small Fight... If the three of you go to the front line in the future, you might as well gather elite soldiers and form a team of a hundred people, order them to sneak into the territory occupied by the rebels, wait for the opportunity to harass the rebels, attack their granaries, and kill those who are alone. On the one hand, delay the rebellion On the one hand, killing the rebels has the strength to kill the rebels.... The imperial army has thirteen prefectures’ financial resources to provide pensions, and the rebels only have one prefecture, Liangzhou, which has not yet taken over. Even if the casualties of both sides are similar, the post-war pensions cannot be compared As the days go by, Wang Guo, Han Sui, and Ma Teng will surely spend all their money to support their subordinates who died in battle. They will either seize Liangzhou or plunder Sanfu. As long as the imperial court guards Sanfu, Han Sui and others will We can only plunder Liangzhou and use it for military expenses, so the rebels will lose their hearts in Liangzhou, and then the court will win."

Lu Zhi, Huangfusong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun pondered Liu Bian's words carefully and over and over again, but found that they couldn't find any faults.

That's right, Liu Bian is using troops in a kingly way, using the manpower and financial resources of the other thirteen states in the world to crush a single state in Liangzhou, using the strong to attack the weak, how can this be invincible?

Huangfu Song was submissive, and praised with a smile: "Earlier, Lu Shangshu praised Shihou for his broad vision, unlike his age, I didn't believe it at the time, but after listening to Shihou's words today, I realized that Shihou's vision is far superior to those of me and others. "

"Extremely extreme." Zhang Wen agreed with a smile.

In all fairness, if this Marquis Shi's suggestion is not good, then Huangfusong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun must resolutely dissuade him, but since what Marquis Shi said is really reasonable, even before they have a clue When the time came, I pointed out the winning strategy to them, so what's the harm in praising and flattering them?

Facing the praise of several people, Liu Bian waved his hands with a smile and said: "I am just Zhao Kuo, talking about soldiers on paper. In terms of actually leading troops to fight, the imperial court still relies on Duxianghou, Zhang Weiwei, and Zhu Taipu.... There is Master Lu."

"Haha."

When Lu Zhi showed a helpless smile, Huangfusong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun also laughed, making the atmosphere in the room more harmonious.

After laughing, several people had a serious discussion and perfected Liu Bian's strategy of conquering the rebels in Liangzhou. Lu Zhi personally took the lead and wrote it into a memorial, which will be played to Emperor Ling later.

Not long after, Emperor Ling asked Zhang Rang to send a young eunuch to summon Lu Zhi, so Huangfusong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun also took leave together with interest.

Seeing this, Liu Bian called Huangfusong and the others to stop, and said: "Finally, let me give you a word of advice to the three of you, which may be used in the battle against the rebels in the future. . . . If you win, you fight, if you can't win, you don't fight."

Huangfusong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun thought about it carefully, and felt that this short sentence had a profound meaning. Huangfusong asked in surprise, "I wonder which expert said this?"

"Uh..." Liu Bian hesitated and explained, "It was said by a friend of my teacher Shi Daoren. It is said that Maozi said it. I don't know the details."

"Fuck?"

Huangfusong, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Jun looked at each other, muttering, "there is someone in the world who can be compared to grandson" and left.

Hearing the muttering of the three when they left, Liu Bian secretly raised his eyebrows.

Comparable to grandson?

The achievement of that Maozi is far above that of his grandson.

After leaving the Jiafang Hall, the more Zhu Jun thought about it, the more he felt that Shi Hou was intelligent and outstanding, and he couldn't help but sighed to Huangfusong and Zhang Wen: "It's really... "

"Gongwei!"

Zhang Wen was taken aback. He looked around and saw that the palace guards and imperial guards around him were far away, so he pulled Zhu Jun's sleeve and whispered, but unexpectedly, he was thrown away by the stubborn Zhu Jun: "Yes. It's hard to say, isn't it the queen mother who is obstructing it? The harem interferes with the government, this is a taboo!"

Zhang Wen smiled wryly and shook his head, then turned to look at Huangfusong, as if saying: Come on.

Huangfusong was also a little helpless, and said to Zhu Jun: "Shihou is from the empress, and there are great generals He Jin and Henan Yin Hemiao as foreign aid, even if the empress dowager obstructs in every possible way, the crown prince will belong to Shihou in the future. Wei doesn’t have to complain about Marquis Shi. On the contrary, if Empress Dowager Dong finds out that you are talking nonsense, you will be dismissed from office, and I will see how you can conquer the rebels.”

"It's a big deal to go to the army for nothing." Zhu Jun was very single, and said indifferently: "Jieshi, you two are handsome, you can always give me a Sima Dangdang, right?"

Huangfusong was overjoyed, pointing at Zhu Jun, speechless.

At the same time, Lu Zhi also returned to the Chongde Hall, presenting the Pingliang Rebel Strategy Memorial to Emperor Ling that Liu Bianzhu said and the rest of the people had completed.

Emperor Ling also felt that it made a lot of sense, and asked: "Is this what Lu Qing and the Marquis of the Duxiang negotiated just now?"

Lu Zhi said truthfully: "Actually, it was Shihou's suggestion, and I will wait for everyone to complete it."

Lingdi was startled, and suddenly fell silent.
