Liu Lancheng was respected as a military advisor by Zhishilang Wang Bo. Zhishilang Wang Bo was able to dominate Taishan County in Yanzhou and dominate the sky with one hand, mostly because of Liu Lancheng's strategy and ability to command the army.
"Liu Lancheng doesn't usually show off, but he knows about many important things in Taishan. I don't know if this officer knows about our affairs... If he knows, it is impossible not to react."
Chen Youliang was extremely afraid of Liu Lancheng, and at the same time he had an urge to take him under his command! If there are such capable people under his command, the chances of winning in the competition will be even higher.
With Liu Lancheng standing in the way, it would be really difficult for Chen Youliang and others to annex Prince Zhishilang's power!
Chen Youliang had no idea how to solve Liu Lancheng's troubles here, so he asked Li Chui next to him for help.
Li Chui frowned and looked up at the scenery outside the window. He saw his right hand pinching his fingers. He was thoughtful in his heart. After almost a cup of tea, he slowly spoke to Chen Youliang.
"Our annexation of Taishan bandit king Bo Jun is absolutely unstoppable. Once Liu Lancheng gets the news, we will all be finished..."
It would be better to strike first and seize the opportunity. We can learn from Xiang Yu, the ancient overlord of Western Chu, who held a grand Hongmen Banquet, invited Liu Lancheng to the banquet, and then took the opportunity to capture him in one fell swoop and put him under house arrest.
Without this obstacle, Wang Bo's remaining men will be able to capture him! "
As soon as these words came out, Chen Youliang's eyes flashed with stars, and he nodded in agreement with this method. At this time, Liu Lancheng didn't know what Chen Youliang and others were planning, so he could take this opportunity to visit Liu Lancheng and make friends with him, and look for opportunities to invite him to his house for a banquet...
As long as he goes out of the house to attend the banquet, the situation in Mount Tai will be set!
The two continued to discuss that once Liu Lancheng's problem was solved, they would send a large army at lightning speed to control Wang Bo's generals, relieve them of military power, and prevent them from resisting.
After Chen Youliang successfully controls the Taishan army, he will persuade the captured generals to surrender... After dealing with the Taishan matter, he will reorganize the army and evacuate to the interior of Yanzhou or Qingzhou along the path down the mountain.
Li Chui and Chen Youliang have finished their discussion and are ready to take action! First, he sent his subordinates to inquire about Liu Lancheng's preferences and living habits, and then tried to send a favorable signal to him to let him know that Chen Youliang was interested in making friends with him.
Liu Lancheng is not a fool. No matter from which point of view, there is no need to be at odds with Chen Youliang. Yu Gong! Chen Youliang is currently a subordinate of Wang Bo and a colleague of Liu Lancheng. In private! Chen Youliang has outstanding abilities, and Liu Lancheng admires him greatly, and he originally wanted to get in touch with him...
Chen Youliang's first task at this time was to solve Liu Lancheng's problem. He was thinking hard and wanted to contact people around Liu Lancheng, and then took the opportunity to contact Liu Lancheng.
"Lord! I remember that the two generals Zhou Wenju and Ran Zhao deeply trusted Liu Lancheng. Why don't we call them here? Work on them and take the opportunity to contact Liu Lancheng?"
Li Chui simply called out the names of the two generals and solved the problem in an instant. Zhou Wenju and Ran Zhao were Liu Lancheng's confidants, but unfortunately they were not very loyal to Zhi Shilang and Wang Bo. This gave Chen Youliang a chance!
Chen Youliang was overjoyed and directly summoned his general Zhou Shi to invite Zhou Wenju and Ran Zhao.
Without further ado, Chen Youliang waved his hand and directly sent his soldiers, servants, and maids to prepare a banquet for Zhou Wenju and Ran Zhao.
"Well... why not call Ning Daoming to the banquet? I can trust the three of them."
He also summoned soldiers to invite Ning Daoming. At this time, a poaching plan emerged in Chen Youliang's mind. He summoned his generals Wu Guang, Xu Yu, Deng Zong, and Wu Yu, and then asked them to lead more than fifty fully armed men. The elite soldiers, equipped with bows and crossbows, hid behind the banquet.
After the banquet, Chen Youliang would go straight to the point and tell the three generals who came to the banquet about the current situation and his ambitions, and listen to their current thoughts.
If all three generals surrender and acknowledge their master, everything will be fine and the party will continue! If someone is unwilling to recognize the master and is uncertain, the soldiers hidden behind the banquet will go out together to kill the guy who is unwilling to recognize the master.
No poison, no husband, Chen Youliang’s method is absolutely perfect!
Arrangements were made for all the soldiers to hide behind the banquet, and everything was ready, just waiting for the three generals to arrive. At this time, Chen Youliang was gearing up and was very excited. This step was crucial and might affect the next steps!
Therefore, Chen Youliang pretended to be a courteous corporal and stood at the entrance of the lobby, waiting for the arrival of the three generals.
About a quarter of an hour flew by...
"Report! Three generals are here"
A soldier hurried over to report the situation to Chen Youliang. After hearing the news, Chen Youliang's eyes lit up and he stared at the gate, waiting for the arrival of the three generals.
Three breaths passed, and Chen Youliang, who was burning with anxiety, did not see the arrival of these three generals.
"What...what are you waiting for? Just go out and greet us!"
Unable to wait any longer, Chen Youliang rushed directly to the entrance of the hall. During the run, he didn't put on his shoes properly and dropped them.
Chen Youliang ran to the entrance of the hall, just as the three generals arrived.
Their eyes met, Chen Youliang was pleasantly surprised, while the three generals Zhou Wenju, Ran Zhao, and Ning Daoming were shocked. Unexpectedly, Chen Youliang was so enthusiastic and ran out wearing pajamas and bare feet.
Chen Youliang's move successfully made Zhou Wenju, Ran Zhao, and Ning Daoming feel very good about him. The three of them took Chen Youliang in their arms and walked into the hall talking and laughing.
A flash of shrewdness flashed in Chen Youliang's eyes. The three generals had a very good impression of him, which would be beneficial to his subsequent conquering.
When the four of them arrived at the lobby, they saw that the singers and dancers were ready. Chen Youliang sat directly in the lobby without any ceremony. There were desks on the left and right for the three generals to eat.
The banquet officially begins!
"Then play music, then dance..."
The banquet was at its climax. Seeing that the three generals were intoxicated, Chen Youliang did not want to disturb their interest and continued to arrange singing and dancing.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Wenju, Ran Zhao, and Ning Daoming were already a little tipsy, and their reactions became a little slow. This is the best time for Chen Youliang to conquer them!
"Ahem! Three brothers, I have something to say. I want to hear what the brothers think."
Chen Youliang took this opportunity to express his ambition to dominate the world, as well as his opinions on the Zhishi Lang Wang who was unwilling to make progress, the dead bones in the grave, and the guarding dog.
State the pros and cons, belittle the king and praise yourself.
Chen Youliang's intention was very obvious. He wanted to ask Zhou Wenju, Ran Zhao and Ning Daoming what they were thinking. Should he seek refuge with Chen Youliang, or should he continue to respect Wang Bo as his master?
