"Is this really Qi's border defense map?"
The Emperor of Song Dynasty looked at the map in his hand and the information marked on it, and couldn't help showing excitement on his face.
Off stage,
Guan Zhong looked calm and said in a calm tone: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send a spy to find out."
"But it's best to hurry up, otherwise, if Qi is on guard, the position of the defense will definitely change."
Emperor Song narrowed his eyes and stared at Guan Zhong.
Want to see something on his face.
But after looking at it for a long time,
Finally, he turned his head and looked at Song Wangmei: "Song Aiqing, what do you think?"
At the beginning,
Regarding Guan Zhong’s sudden defection,
Song Wangmei's first reaction was that there must be some fraud involved.
How could the dignified Prime Minister of Qi defect to another country just because of such a trivial matter?
Although it is not impossible,
But Song Wangmei just felt there was a problem.
But,
When she saw the defense plan presented by Guan Zhong,
The suspicion in my heart has been eliminated by eight or nine points.
mainly,
The border defenses between Qi and Song were almost exactly the same as what she had discovered.
This can directly rule out the possibility that the information sent by Guan Zhong is false.
Thus,
Guan Zhong's defection is very likely to be true.
Dispelling the doubts in my heart,
Song Wangmei came to the center of the hall, bowed to Emperor Song and said, "Your Majesty, the defense plan provided by Mr. Guan is completely consistent with the information our army has carefully researched."
"So... the general believes that our army should contact Zhao State immediately and send troops immediately before Qi State can react! Catch Qi State by surprise."
Faced with Song Wangmei’s proposal,
Emperor Song hesitated.
The supplies of food and grass are still being prepared.
The army is also preparing for war.
Such a large-scale war cannot be fought at any time.
Song Wangmei noticed the other party's hesitation and said firmly: "Your Majesty, this opportunity is not to be missed!"
"Now that we have control of Qi's defense map, the army can march straight in and annihilate Qi's main force in one fell swoop."
"At that time, Zhao Guo will assist us on the flanks. Under attack from both sides, we will win this battle!"
"Oh well."
"I'm sure!"
Emperor Song himself had a relatively weak character.
Hesitant when things happen.
In peacetime, major military and political affairs are handled by Song Wangmei and Qin Hui.
Now seeing Song Wangmei's determined look, he could only choose to agree.
"Mr. Guan, during this battle, I would like to ask you to stay in Kaifeng City temporarily for some time."
"Although Kaifeng is not as prosperous as Linzi, it still shows the style of the Song Dynasty."
"After the Northern Expedition is over, we will discuss our merits and reward them together."
........
After Guan Zhong walked out of the hall.
An imperceptible smile flashed past.
Guan Zhong wanted to laugh.
I didn't expect that the kings and ministers of Song Dynasty would be so stupid.
Guan Zhong had already heard about Zhao Gou, the emperor of Song Dynasty.
He has a weak and incompetent personality and is hesitant to deal with problems.
It is the standard template of a foolish king.
When Guan Zhong's gang was summoned, they discussed the problem of the faint king with Han Lin.
At that time, Han Lin kept talking about his various problems.
For example, lust, laziness in politics, and love of enjoyment are all problems that a foolish king will not lack.
But Guan Zhongdu said there was no problem.
on the contrary,
As a king, the most important thing is to know and use people's names. Secondly, when encountering things, you must be decisive, courageous, and courageous!
Dare to give it a try at the critical moment.
Just like Yuan Shao in history, the fourth generation and the three princes controlled Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou.
In the Battle of Guandu, a hundred thousand troops were mobilized, almost forcing Cao Cao to a dead end.
But when Cao Cao burned Wuchao, Yuan Shao backed down.
He made the only and most fatal mistake after dispatching troops.
Faced with the loss of Wuchao in the rear and Cao Jun's camp in front, Yuan Shao chose to bet on both ends, and the ones who went to attack Cao Jun's camp were Zhang He and Gao Lan who had already shown lack of confidence before setting off.
And this is not the only time he has flinched like this.
When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, Yuan Shao had already retreated once, giving Dong Zhuo the opportunity to control Luoyang.
It was precisely because Yuan Shao lacked the courage to make a decisive decision in battle that he handed over the country to Cao Cao.
And these qualities,
Both Han and Lin have it.
on the contrary,
Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty was not as good as Yuan Shao.
same,
Not only the emperor is incompetent, but also the monarchs and ministers.
During this time,
Guan Zhong sent people to find out all the information about neighboring countries.
Apart from those small countries,
Guan Zhong saw Song's weakness at a glance.
The king is ignorant and his ministers are arrogant and arrogant.
The ministers here are talking about Song Wangmei.
He has some ability, but he is narrow-minded and arrogant.
Such a Song State has undoubtedly become Guan Zhong's goal.
In contrast,
Zhao Guo on the other side.
Although the king also has various problems.
However, with the presence of Li Mu and Lian Po, Guan Zhong believed that they would not be fooled so easily.
to be honest,
I still think Song Guo is relatively stupid.
So easy to deceive.
As for the detailed plan, Guan Zhong had already communicated with Han Lin.
After getting Han Lin's nod, the implementation started.
The current Song State has obviously fallen into Guan Zhong's trap.
After making the decision,
Song State rushed the relevant news to Zhao State for 800 miles.
at the same time,
The country is also stepping up preparations for the expedition.
Two days later,
An army of 150,000 people, with Song Wangmei as the commander, sent troops to attack Qi.
Another day later,
The State of Zhao also sent troops to respond.
The 250,000 troops were divided into two groups, commanded by Li Mu and Lian Po respectively.
On one side was a partial division led by Lian Po, with 60,000 soldiers and horses advancing towards Wei. The army was displayed on the border of Zhao and Wei.
Prevent Wei from sending troops to rescue Qi.
the other way,
Li Mu led an army of 190,000 troops to attack Qi State.
With both countries no longer hiding, the pretense is torn off.
on the border,
All kinds of information were sent to Linzi like snowflakes.
But because Guan Zhong was in the Song Dynasty,
I didn’t know who to show these secret messages to for a while.
The entire Qi court had no one to coordinate the overall situation.
Han Lin was too lazy to take care of these things.
Turn a blind eye to the mountain of secret messages.
Just throw it in the corner.
The other officials were in a mess as if they were headless flies.
This chaotic situation,
Falling in Ye Qingqiu's eyes, he could hardly hold back the smile in his heart.
