Call of the Deer

Chapter 352 Han Wu made a decision, Emperor Xiao came to help

Beizhou, King City of Yongzhou.

Liu Che was wearing a boa robe and brocade garment, and a seven-bead crown, sitting upright, looking sideways at the messenger.

"Who is coming? Why are you here!"

Liu Che said indifferently, his whole body exuded the air of an emperor, noble and intimidating.

"I tell King Wu of the Han Dynasty that Shangguan Qian, a counselor under the command of the Great Yin King, came here this time for the matter of the northern barbarians!"

The man was in his early thirties, wearing a blue brocade robe, his hands were covered by a long gown, his eyes were calm, and he seemed calm and breezy.

"Oh? Grassland barbarian? I wonder what your master Di Xiao is referring to?"

Hearing this, Liu Che's pupils froze, and a gleam flashed in his tiger eyes, and he began to look squarely at Shangguanqian's envoy.

"Reporting to King Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is naturally the matter of Temujin gathering an army and marching eastward to Mengzhou."

Shangguan Qian talked eloquently, knowing that Liu Che did it on purpose, but he was not angry, and still explained calmly.

"For this matter, what is your Lord's attitude, and what do you plan to do?"

Liu Che naturally knew about Temujin's eastward advance, so he didn't express his views on it, but just took the opportunity to ask Di Xiao what he meant.

"King Wu of the Han Dynasty, my lord has two strategies. One is to unite the two sides to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and attack the northern grasslands together, so that Temujin can fight the rat and lead the army back to help."

When Shangguan Qian heard the words, his eyes were slightly displeased, this Han Wu Wang Liu Che really made an inch.

However, for the sake of what Di Xiao entrusted with this trip, he decided to hold back for the time being to facilitate a major event.

"Sir, what is the second strategy?"

Liu Che was very afraid of Di Xiao. Di Xiao alone occupied nearly half of the eighteen states in Beizhou, while Liu Che occupied only four states at this time.

"King Wu of the Han Dynasty, my master's second strategy is to unite the princes of Beizhou to form an allied army and advance eastward to support Mengzhou. After all, this Kyushu is the Kyushu of the Han people, and it is not something that barbarians can touch."

Shangguan Qian said the second strategy in one breath, and then looked at Liu Che indifferently.

"Gao Yi, King of the Great Yin, Liu Che is far behind."

Hearing this, Liu Che's heart trembled slightly, and he was slightly surprised by Di Xiao's decision, but he concealed it very well.

"King Wu of Han is serious!"

"I don't know what King Wu of Han means?"

Seeing Liu Che praising Di Xiao, Shangguan Qian looked slightly pleased, and then asked Liu Che what he meant.

"Dongfang Shuo, which of the two strategies of the Great Yin King do you think is better?"

Liu Che didn't answer, his eyes were indifferent, his pupils were slanted, and he glanced at Dongfang Shuo who was standing on the lower left.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and was quite silent, as if everything had nothing to do with him. Seeing Liu Che asking him, he broke away from this state.

"Reporting to my lord, in my opinion, these two strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages."

Dongfang Shuo bowed to Liu Che before speaking.

"Oh, what's the pros and cons? It's okay to just say it."

Liu Che already valued Dongfang Shuo very much, and when he saw Dongfang Shuo had an opinion, he hurriedly asked Dongfang Shuo to continue talking.

"Combining to the north, we can defeat the northern barbarians in one fell swoop and shake the prestige of the Han people, but with Temujin's means, those grassland tribes should have already withdrawn from the northern grassland, or moved eastward, or retreated deep into the grassland."

"But our army is not familiar with the grassland deep in the north. In this way, it will be difficult to hurt the barbarians in the grassland. At most, we will take back the two states of Cangmang."

"As for the second strategy, the princes of Beizhou jointly send reinforcements to the east. This matter is easy to say, but it is not easy to implement. The other weak princes are already unable to protect themselves, so where can they send reinforcements?"

"To be clear, in fact, the reinforcements are from our side and the King of Yin, and there is no need to count on the others."

Dongfang Shuo had great insight, and after some remarks, he explained the pros and cons of it in detail.

"Brother Dongfang has a great opinion, and Shangguan admires it very much."

"Brother Shangguan is serious"

"Aiqing, since the two strategies have their advantages and disadvantages, in your opinion, which one should the lonely king choose?"

Hearing this, Liu Che's eyes gleamed brightly, he had already made up his mind, and looked at Dongfang Shuo at the same time.

"Reporting to my lord, from the point of view of interests, I think you should choose the first strategy; but in the long run, you should choose the second strategy."

Dongfang Shuo hesitated slightly in his eyes, and then he spoke.

As soon as Dongfang Shuo finished speaking, Liu Che fell into deep thought.

From the perspective of national justice, sending reinforcements is the best choice. In this way, Liu Che can win the hearts of the people and improve his reputation.

From the perspective of interests, sending troops to the Northern Expedition can obtain at least one state's land, which is the real benefit.

The two choices were very attractive, and Liu Che fell into hesitation for a while.

"Huh, Mr. Shangguan, the lonely king decided to choose the second strategy, let the great Yin king wait a while, seven days later, the lonely king will definitely send reinforcements!"

In the end, reason defeated desire, and Liu Che decided to choose the second strategy.

"In this way, I will wait for the reinforcements of King Wu of the Han Dynasty."

When Shangguan Qian saw that Liu Che chose the second strategy, an imperceptible flash of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Afterwards, Liu Che sent someone to entertain Shangguan Qian, and looked at Dongfang Shuo and Dou Ying at the same time.

"You two loves, what do you two think?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Hu people made up their minds to attack Mengzhou this time. Once Mengzhou is broken, Hu Renbi can drive straight in and go straight down to Dongzhou. At that time, his life will definitely be ruined."

"Then Central Continent will suffer accordingly. At that time, the Hu people will cross Mengzhou and attack the southern part of Beizhou, and we will also suffer from the north-south attack. Therefore, Mengzhou must not be lost."

Dongfang Shuo's expression was extremely solemn at this time, but he knew that Temu was really ambitious.

He also knew that when a million Huqi entered Mengzhou, Mengzhou would definitely be smashed to pieces by iron hooves in an instant.

"My lord, I also feel that this matter is very serious."

Dou Ying's face was also a bit ugly. This time the Hu people attacked Mengzhou together, which was a situation he had never expected before.

"Well, what Aiqing said is true. Tomorrow the lonely king will send Huo Qubing, and Li Guang will lead an army of [-] to rescue Mengzhou."

Hearing Dongfang Shuo and Dou Ying's words, Liu Che woke up like a dream, feeling chills down his back.

Yinzhou, Tianyin King City.

"Beiming Aiqing, this time the Hu people are aggressively attacking Mengzhou, who do you think should be sent to help?"

On the main hall of Emperor Xiao Gaozuo of the Great Yin King, he exudes an incomparably intimidating imperial aura, as if a real dragon is entrenched.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the general thought that we must not take it lightly this time when the barbarians invaded the south with all their strength, so the general plans to go out in person."

Bei Mingleng was in his prime, with a tiger body like a fierce tiger, wearing black battle armor and a scarlet cloak dotted behind him, looking mighty and unyielding.

"Since Aiqing is willing to go, I can do it alone. I don't know who Aiqing thinks it is more appropriate to be the deputy general?"

When Di Xiao heard this, his face remained unchanged, his intuition was right, and at the same time he said indifferently.

When Bei Ming heard it coldly, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke in a calm manner.

"General Long Xiang, Wu Yunzhao, and General Qi Feng, Wei Jiang, both can be deputy generals!"

"Haha, since Aiqing said it, the Gu Wang will agree, and the Gu Wang will choose a few generals for Aiqing."

Di Xiao's face was indifferent, and his tone was unhurried. It seemed that he didn't care about this battle at all.

"Wu Yunzhao, Wei Jiang, Anlu Mountain, Yan Lie, Di Feng, where is the Emperor's Mausoleum?"

"The end is here!"

"Order the six of you to be the left and right, the front and the back, and the upper and lower generals, and to be Bei Mingleng's deputy general, to be dispatched by Bei Mingleng, and to set off with the reinforcements of King Wu of Han in three days' time. There must be no mistakes!"

Di Xiao dispatched six generals in one go, two of them were members of the Di Xiao clan.

"Thank you my lord!"

"There is no need to be too polite, Beiming Aiqing. Three days later, you will lead an army of one hundred thousand and set off for Mengzhou."

"The last general takes orders!"
