"Ding, Han Xin fought his last and will be rewarded with two random attributes: 1 permanently, current force 1, intelligence 1. Han Xin's current attributes have been raised to commander 104, force 79 (1), intelligence 99 (1), politics 56, and charm 90."
As Han Xin triggered an achievement reward, it meant that this battle finally came to a final result.
Inside Jiming City.
After the great victory, the entire army began to reward the entire army by killing cattle and sheep.
In the city lord's palace, the standing generals were reporting their gains and prisoners in turn.
It's just that Han Xin, who is the protagonist of this battle, is a little absent-minded.
At this moment, he is waiting for someone.
Yao Guangxiao, this is the person he is waiting for.
In this battle, all the generals opposed Han Xin's strategy. Even Wen Zhong thought his plan was too risky. The more risky the plan, the greater the reward, but the greater the loss if it fails.
In fact, the generals believed that the decision to go to war itself was a risky act. If they had to wait a few more months until the soldiers and horses were almost fully trained, the risk would be minimized at that time.
However, Yao Guangxiao was the only one who really agreed with Han Xin's decision.
After a few months, although the soldiers and horses recruited can be trained to almost the same level, even if they are still definitely not as good as those elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles, they can at least look good on the surface.
However, their soldiers and horses can be trained to an almost complete level within this period of time, and the recruits of the Hebei Province Army can also be trained to an almost complete level during this period of time.
Of the 11 counties in Hebei Province, only those two counties fell into their hands. Moreover, it is the land of two counties jointly controlled by those from the Liangshan Clan.
Things in Liangshan are only a secret of a few people. Therefore, in the eyes of the world and most people under Wang Yu, people from the Liangshan family are not Wang Yu's people.
However, it was precisely because in the eyes of the world, Wang Yu and the people in Liangshan were two different groups that Huangfu Mingze did not insist on placing his own men in these two counties. If the land of these two counties is completely in Wang Yu's hands, there will inevitably be many invisible battles in private.
Therefore, their war potential is absolutely incomparable to that of their opponent.
It was precisely with this in mind that Yao Guangxiao agreed to Han Xin's risky plan.
Of course, even after agreeing to this risky plan, Yao Guangxiao still preferred the mature and steady Wen Zhong to execute it rather than the fledgling Han Xin. However, Wang Yu insisted on pushing Han Xin to power. This battle could only be carried out by Han Xin himself.
Fortunately, Han Xin did not live up to Wang Yu's expectations of him in the end.
Han Xin believed that Yao Guangxiao's combat philosophy vaguely coincided with his.
Stones from other mountains can attack jade.
In this battle, although Han Xin used his last stand to win a key battle. However, if we want to capture the entire Hebei Road, we still need to solve many problems.
Han Xin wanted to hear Yao Guangxiao's thoughts, which might bring him some unexpected gains.
After a while, the tired Yao Guangxiao entered the lobby.
After a brief polite exchange, Han Xin handed over his hand and asked: "Sir, do you know why I won today?"
Yao Guangxiao smiled brightly: "As the military strategist said, you will be trapped in a place of death and then survive, and you will be trapped in a place of death and then survive... It can only happen once and never again. This battle will forever be the swan song of the military strategist!"
Indeed, such a risky strategy that involves risking one's life and risking one's life is almost impossible to replicate. No one is willing to use such a risky strategy unless it is absolutely necessary. Even they themselves are not necessarily sure that they can replicate the same situation again.
Han Xin shook his head and said: "Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape. In this world, those who learn from me will live, and those who are like me will die. The people of future generations will definitely be better than those who came before..."
On this point, Han Xin has a different view. Things in this world are always improving, and the same goes for the art of war.
Not intending to discuss these issues too much, Han Xin asked seriously: "I want to pacify Hebei. I wonder what you can teach me?"
When Han Xin really started talking about business, Yao Guangxiao also looked solemn and said seriously: "I have heard that a wise man will lose something after a lot of worries; a fool will gain something after a lot of worries. Therefore, even a saint sometimes I will also follow Kuang Sheng’s advice.”
"Now the general is fighting with his back to the river, defeating the emperor and never returning, and he swung down in one fell swoop to gather his strength."
"However, after this battle, our army suffered considerable losses in military supplies and food, and many soldiers suffered casualties. If we use such a tired army to conquer the strong city of Hebei, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat it in a short time."
Han Xin indeed won this battle.
However, even though they risked their lives and survived, it aroused the morale and willingness of the entire army to fight, and allowed the weak army to fight the strong army in bloody battles. Although they won, how could the price they paid themselves be so small?
Fighting against the odds is not something you get every chance.
Defeating the strong with the weak is equivalent to walking a tightrope on a cliff without making a single mistake. Because they have no chance to make mistakes. It is very likely that if they make a mistake, what awaits them is the end of being shattered into pieces.
"Then sir, do you have any plans?" Han Xin bowed and bowed.
Now that Yao Guangxiao has seen that they are now going to face the biggest problem, Han Xin believes that Yao Guangxiao will always have some ideas in his heart.
Yao Guangxiao chuckled lightly and said, "It is unwise to seize a country with strong troops. Military strategists say that those who are good at using soldiers do not use short weapons to attack the long ones, but use long weapons to attack the weak ones."
"For the present plan, it is better to suspend the troops and appease the orphans of the fallen soldiers. And send a small army to keep an eye on the movements of Tai'an and Zuozhen, and then send envoys to persuade the officials and generals of Hebei Province to surrender."
"Why persuade him?" Han Xin asked again.
Although Han Xin could do everything against him when it came to commanding troops to fight, this was Yao Guangxiao's forte when it came to calculating people's hearts.
"Your Majesty now proclaims himself emperor. By leveraging the power of the three kings and the Celestial Master's Way, the two dynasties will fight against each other. However, our dynasty has just been established and there is a shortage of officials. If you use this to lure them, you can defeat them without fighting!" Yao Guangxiao said directly! As she opened her mouth to talk, it was obvious that this idea had probably already taken shape in her mind.
Huangfu Mingze's court indeed relied on the power of the Three Kings and Tianshi Dao. After the forces of all parties gathered to form an aggregate, they were already qualified to compete with the original court.
However, Huangfu Mingze still has three big chickens and two small chickens, and many important positions are now vacant. If these positions are offered, I believe many people in Hebei Province will take the bait.
Maybe he was originally a sixth- or seventh-grade official, but if he defected to Huangfu Mingze and changed his identity, he would become a fifth- or sixth-grade official.
In this kind of thing, only one person can't resist the temptation. After one person sets an example, the second and third people will soon appear. In this way, you can truly defeat the enemy without fighting.
Of course, the most critical factor was that Han Xin won the battle, which plunged Hebei Province into precarious situations again. If Hebei Road is still as stable as Mount Tai, then the actual effect of conquering the enemy without fighting will be of little use.
