"Is it you, General Xunben? Let's get straight to the point. What's wrong with General Xunben?"
Chen Youliang looked at the person in front of him who was looking for him, and got straight to the point and told him to keep the story short. After all, Chen Youliang doesn't have so much time to waste now. When Wang Bo goes down the mountain to fight the Han army, he speeds up to poach Wang Bo. The key is to expand his generals!
The person who was looking for Chen Youliang was a capable general who came from the east side of the river and the sea. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Youliang. Then he quickly turned around and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Chen Youliang touched the letter that was still warm in his hand and watched with surprise as the person who sent the letter escaped...
"Who could this letter be from?"
At this time, Chen Youliang was extremely confused, thinking deeply about what would be written in this letter! I saw him lightly opening the letter, taking it out and reading it carefully
This letter begins with a compliment to Chen Youliang, and then states the pros and cons of the current situation, as well as an analysis of Chishiro Wang Bo and his soldiers.
"If General Chen Youliang can temporarily put aside his hatred and cooperate with the Han army to destroy Taishan bandit Wang Bo's army, then the Han army will allow General Chen Youliang to gather Wang Bo's soldiers and give him ten days to rest in order to withdraw from Taishan County and no longer invade Yuzhou. And Xuzhou..."
These few sentences are the key point of the letter!
Chen Youliang was confused as to whether to cooperate with the Han army or not, not knowing what to do. I saw him hastily read the content at the back of the letter, then stuffed it into his arms and rushed to the military advisor and poisonous scholar Li Chui, preparing to ask him what he thought.
Chen Youliang's behavior surprised all the soldiers, but they couldn't ask too much and could only do their own thing well.
Within a quarter of an hour, Chen Youliang hurriedly came to Li Chui's residence, lightly knocked on his door, then pushed the door open and told Li Chui what had just happened.
Then he took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Li Chui, letting him read it and wanting to hear his opinion!
I saw Li Chui half-squinting and reading the contents of the letter at a glance. When he saw that the Han army was going to cooperate with Chen Youliang, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
What Li Chui was thinking, the Han army killed Chen Sheng, but they still had the guts to discuss cooperation with Chen Youliang? I'm afraid my head is missing...
Suddenly Li lowered his head and looked into Chen Youliang's eyes.
Chen Youliang's eyes seemed to be full of expectation, and he had no idea of revenge for Chen Sheng. This made Li Chui a little shocked, and then he sighed in his heart. In the face of absolute interests, Chen Youliang was still moved by the revenge of killing his brother...
"My lord, what do you think of the death of the late master?"
Li Chui pretended to mention it casually, wanting to see Chen Youliang's attitude. I saw Chen Youliang staring into Li Chui's eyes like a torch, and said
"Sir, do you think that I have forgotten the revenge of killing my brother? This is absolutely impossible! The hatred of killing my brother is irreconcilable, and I will definitely kill the bandit army in the future to pay tribute to my brother's spirit in heaven.
Now I am just preparing to use the Han army to deal with Wang Bo. Wouldn't it be great to gather Wang Bo's army at the introduction, and then immediately go to the wrong place, go north to Qingzhou or west to Yanzhou? "
Chen Youliang still had a strategic mind, and he could see through the Han army's thoughts at a glance. Then didn't the Han army just want to wipe out the Taishan bandit King Bo and then drive him away from here? Since the benefits are so great, it doesn't mean that we can't agree to the Han army...
At this time, the poisonous scholar Li Chui looked at Chen Youliang with admiration, and then he closed his eyes and meditated, secretly thinking about the real purpose of the Han army's plan!
"Perhaps the Han army wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fire on the other side. When we raised troops to rebel against Wang Bo, the Han army suddenly withdrew, causing Wang Bo to return.
Then we can just eat Coptis chinensis while being dumb. It will be very difficult for us! "
Li Chui is indeed a highly intelligent person, and he will get the idea as soon as he speaks. What he thought was indeed similar to what the Han army thought. However, the Han army Qi Jiguang, Dong Zhao and others really wanted to kill the Taishan bandit king Bo, so what he said in his mouth was that the Han army's sudden withdrawal was overly worrying and groundless...
Chen Youliang nodded in agreement, and then approached Li Chui. The two of them analyzed the current confrontation between the Han army and Wang Bo! At this time, the Han army was confronting Wang Bo, which was the perfect opportunity for him to lead the army and defeat the Taishan bandits. If he did not seize this opportunity, he would not know how long it would take to seize it later.
At this time, regardless of whether the Han army was really dealing with Wang Bo or pretending to be dealing with Wang Bo, Wang Bo had already descended from Mount Tai. Excellent opportunity, once in a lifetime!
"Sir, what should we do? If Wang Bo confronts the Han army, it will take at least five days to get the result. What should we do in these five days?"
Chen Youliang was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, so he asked military advisor Li Chui if there was any way to ensure his victory and successfully annex the Taishan bandit king Bo's army in five days.
Li Chui was silent in thought and simply asked Chen Youliang which generals under Wang Bo's command he had good relations with during this period.
"This... to be honest, sir, I have made friends with three generals, Zhou Wenju, Ran Zhao, and Ning Daoming, many times during this period, and I have become brothers with them!
When they were drinking together a few days ago, the three of them got drunk alone and complained that the wise man was selfish, did great things but cherished his life, and saw small profits and forgot his life. He was not a hero. Not recognizing talents, not making good use of them, and not distinguishing between loyal and evil..."
Regarding these three generals, Chen Youliang is 90% sure that he can recruit them into his camp.
In addition to these three generals, Chen Youliang also visited and made friends with Gao Yaxian, Lu Nan, Liu Shiche, and Lou Shiqian. From the conversation, Chen Youliang learned that these four people expressed their dismay at Wang Bo's lack of loyalty and neglect of the old minister!
Therefore, Chen Youliang believed that as long as he used Wang Bo's mistake of not knowing how to hire people as a starting point, he would resonate deep in their hearts. Then, if you know the interests of the four generals, you can take advantage of the situation and recruit them to join your camp.
Nearly half of Wang Bo's subordinates were taken over by Chen Youliang, which allowed Chen Youliang to control two-fifths of the Taishan Army's military power. Coupled with Chen Youliang's own troops and generals, the chance of a successful merger was extremely high!
Li Chui's eyes were bright, and he looked at Chen Youliang with recognition in his eyes. At this time, the lord Chen Youliang is much more powerful than the previous lord Chen Sheng... The world is so big that it is not a bad idea for my own lord Chen Youliang to compete with the others!
At this time, Li Chui was completely loyal to Chen Youliang, and he reminded Chen Youliang in a low voice that Wang Bo's military advisor Liu Lancheng was extremely powerful and his abilities were as good as his own. If they want to annex Taishan Wang Bo, then this guy is a roadblock and must be solved. If you don't handle it well, you may lose everything!
Let me briefly introduce Liu Lancheng, one of the seventy-two smokers.
During the Sui Dynasty, he served as the secretary of Poyang County. Reading classics and historical books can tell success or failure.
He had a fierce and cunning temperament, and saw that the world would be in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and transportation in various places would be inconvenient. At that time, Beihai County was rich and Liu Lancheng was envious of it, so he colluded with strong men to conquer the cities in his hometown.
During the Wude period, Li Shentong, king of Huai'an, served as the pacification ambassador of Shandong Province, and Liu Lan led his clan to surrender. He was promoted to Shangshu Wailang because of his accumulated achievements.
"Zizhi Tongjian" records are different, saying that Liu Lancheng passed the Ming Dynasty and helped guard Beihai County when Qi Gongshun attacked Beihai County.
Later, he was framed by Song Shuzuo and took refuge with Qi Gongshun. Using the tactics of suspicious soldiers, he helped Qi Gongshun capture Beihai County.
Liu Lancheng kept the young and old in peace, treated the county officials with courtesy, and treated Song Shuzu with the same courtesy as before. He also helped Qi Gongshun defeat Hailing Zang Junxiang, and followed Qi Gongshun to defect to Li Mi. However, Li Mi failed and defected to Li Shentong of the Tang Dynasty...
