"I still don't agree with the imperial envoy personally taking risks!"
Perhaps because he had learned Zhao Junchen's acting skills at close range, Zhao Dali gradually entered the state. When he shouted loudly, his expression was quite straightforward, like a fool with only one muscle in his head, and he did not understand what Zhao Junchen just said at all. All kinds of truths, I only think about Zhao Junchen's safety.
Hearing Zhao Dali's continuous opposition to him, Zhao Junchen was naturally "livid". He pointed at Zhao Dali's nose and scolded loudly: "Zhao Dali, you were originally just a deserter from the border army. I see you as a poor person. Not only have you been pardoned for your crimes, but you have also been appointed as the leader of the personal guard. If you are not grateful, how can you dare to oppose the imperial envoy's decision in public? What's more, I am discussing important matters with Mr. Wu and Zhou. What qualifications do you have to object?”
Zhao Dali also knew that his acting skills were not good, and he had already performed beyond his abilities just now. Seeing that Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo were focusing on him, he hurriedly lowered his head and defended: "It's because I dare not forget the imperial envoy at all times." It is precisely because the villain is now the leader of the Imperial Envoy's bodyguards that he firmly opposes the Imperial Envoy entering the battlefield and putting himself in danger!"
Zhao Junchen laughed angrily and said: "Ha! What a high consciousness. In this case, from now on, this imperial envoy will have nothing to do with you, and you are no longer the leader of my personal guards! Now, you Get out of my way and wait until after the war to punish you! The situation on the battlefield is urgent, and I have no time to argue with you!"
Seeing Zhao Junchen's angry expression, Wu Qifan quickly advised: "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy, calm down! Although Zhao Huowei keeps contradicting you, he does so out of loyalty. The imperial envoy cannot hurt Zhao Huowei's grudges because of his temporary anger. ! In fact, after much thought, the lower official did not dare to agree with the imperial envoy’s risky move! This plan is not only extremely risky, but it is also difficult to say whether it will be effective. It is really not worth the loss. "
Zhou Bo also said: "Yes, even if you, the imperial envoy, enter the battlefield in person, the battlefield situation is so chaotic now. The soldiers are all focused on killing the enemy. Even if you, the imperial envoy, enter the battlefield, you may not attract attention. Even if it is Imperial Envoy, you have successfully boosted the morale of our army, but the Mongols may not take the bait! Even if the Mongols are led to the foot of Yunluan Mountain by you, we may not be able to resist the Mongols' attack on the mountain... The uncertainty of this strategy is There are really too many things! We have seen the harm before we see the merit, so I hope the Imperial Envoy will consider it carefully!"
Seeing that Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo were still opposed to his plan, Zhao Junchen snorted coldly: "The so-called backup plan is a method that will be used as a last resort. Naturally, you have to bear some risks! What's more, I'm not just thinking. The decision I made has been as well prepared as possible! I have been traveling in a coffin during this period. Now, as long as I appear on the battlefield in a coffin, I will definitely attract attention. When the soldiers see what I am riding in, Coffin, how could the morale not be boosted? How could the Mongols not take the bait when they saw that my appearance caused such a commotion? There are also a thousand guards on Yunluan Mountain, all of whom are the most elite among the new soldiers. The soldiers also have the most sophisticated armaments. Everyone is wearing three layers of armor, both inside and outside. In addition to swords and guns, they are also equipped with the most sophisticated firecrackers. Defense fortifications have been deployed on Yunluan Mountain in advance, so how can they not resist the Mongols? Attack the mountain?..."
However, when Zhao Junchen was explaining his thoughts in detail, Zhao Dali did not leave here in accordance with Zhao Junchen's reprimand. Instead, he suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Junchen with a plop, bowed his head and said: "If you insist, the Imperial Envoy, If you want to enter the battlefield, I have a way, that is, you, the imperial envoy, can appear on the battlefield to boost morale and act as bait to lure the enemy, and you can also ensure your life, the imperial envoy, is safe!"
Hearing what Zhao Dali said, Zhao Junchen and others were stunned. Wu Qifan quickly asked: "Is there such a way? Tell me quickly!"
Zhao Dali said: "After the villain was appointed by the Imperial Envoy as the leader of the guard, he has been worried that the Imperial Envoy will encounter danger on the battlefield, and has been thinking about solutions... A few days ago, the villain inadvertently met a man Forbidden Army officer, this man's appearance was 67% similar to that of the Imperial Envoy. The villain immediately thought that this man might be of great use at a critical moment, so he secretly kept him by his side in case of emergencies. What you need!...If you, the Imperial Envoy, insist on taking the risk, why not use this person as a substitute? In this way, your plan, the Imperial Envoy, can be realized, and your safety, the Imperial Envoy, can be ensured!"
After Zhao Junchen heard Zhao Dali's idea, he was "furious" again: "You can think of such a stupid idea! Let a substitute risk entering the battlefield on my behalf to boost morale? If this imperial envoy follows your advice Wouldn't it be deceiving all the soldiers who are fighting desperately on the front line if this matter is spread out? Not to mention that my reputation will be completely ruined. How will the entire army treat me in the future? How can I still have the face? Command the soldiers to fight?"
However, when Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo next to them heard Zhao Dali's method, their eyes lit up and they thought it was a brilliant idea!
In the final analysis, their opposition to Zhao Junchen's risky behavior was mainly because they were worried about Zhao Junchen's safety. As long as Zhao Junchen's safety could be guaranteed, everything would be easy to negotiate.
So, after the two of them looked at each other, Wu Qifan was the first to persuade: "Your Majesty, Imperial Envoy, Zhao Wei's strategy is actually quite feasible! You are worried that using a substitute will affect the morale of the army, but there is no need to do so. , only the four of us know about this matter at present, as long as we can safely return to Yunluan Mountain after using our substitutes to lure the enemy, and the four of us keep it a secret, who else knows about this matter?"
Zhou Bo also said quickly: "Yes, if that substitute is really similar to you, the imperial envoy, just put on your official uniform and enter the battlefield in a coffin, the situation on the battlefield will be so chaotic, and Who will tell the difference seriously? Everyone will think that you, the imperial envoy, have entered the battlefield in person! And with Master Wu and your subordinates helping to cover up, not to mention the frontline soldiers, even the defenders of Yunluan Mountain will definitely not Know this!"
Seeing that Zhao Junchen was still a little "hesitant", Wu Qifan said again: "If you, the Imperial Envoy, do not agree to use a substitute to enter the battlefield, then the official and Mr. Zhou will not agree to your risky actions, the Imperial Envoy! If you, the Imperial Envoy, you If you insist on taking risks, I and Mr. Zhou will try their best to stop you!"
In the end, Zhao Junchen finally "reluctantly" accepted Zhao Dali's suggestion after Wu Qifan, Zhou Bo, and Zhao Dali's attitude of almost dead remonstrance!
In fact, Zhao Junchen's various performances were just for show, and the substitute strategy was originally thought up by Zhao Junchen himself.
But if this matter were brought up by Zhao Junchen himself, the perfect image he had worked so hard to build during this period would inevitably collapse in an instant. Although Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo would not object, they would definitely have thoughts in their hearts, and maybe they would "no" afterwards. "Be careful" to reveal this, and Zhao Junchen's plan to win over the military will be ruined!
Therefore, Zhao Junchen used Zhao Dali's mouth to raise the matter, and used this performance to make Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo willingly provide cover and keep secrets for him!
In layman's terms, Zhao Junchen is "a bitch but still needs to build a memorial arch."
In fact, Zhao Junchen kept the "substitute" as a backup, not to reverse the situation on the battlefield, but to win over the soldiers!
According to Zhao Junchen's initial prediction, this battle had a great chance of winning, and there would not be so many twists and turns. Therefore, Zhao Junchen's "stand-in" originally had to wait until the battle situation was gradually settled to enter the battlefield and become the last straw that broke the camel's back. ! ...At that time, Zhao Junchen will naturally steal the show, and his image of being brave and good at fighting will be deeply implanted in the hearts of the soldiers. After gaining the inner recognition of the soldiers, the plan to win over the soldiers will progress smoothly!
This is also the reason why Zhao Junchen didn't throw out his backup plan until now! It wasn't that Zhao Junchen wasted his chance to fight, but that this move was just a show in the first place!
Who knows, the battlefield situation that originally had a great chance of winning has changed, and Zhao Junchen's back-up move has become the last resort to reverse the situation!
People are always accustomed to learning from previous successful cases, and Zhao Junchen's only combat experience was when he first entered Shaanxi-Gansu territory and was attacked by the Mongols. In the end, he used a hill to offset the Mongolian advantage. , and wipe out all this Mongolian cavalry!
Now, after Zhao Junchen saw the changes in the battlefield situation, he first thought of his original victory, then he thought of the terrain of Yunluan Mountain, and then he thought of the stand-in he had reserved, so there was A plan was made to use a substitute to enter the battlefield to lure the enemy.
Fortunately, the lines designed by Zhao Junchen are still applicable in this situation, otherwise Zhao Dali's quick wit and acting skills would have to be betrayed.
However, although Zhao Junchen's performance had ulterior motives, the most important thing now is still to reverse the situation on the battlefield.
Zhao Junchen naturally knew the importance and would not get too involved in the drama. After Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo expressed their opinions as expected, Zhao Junchen stopped being pretentious and took the time to make arrangements seriously.
About a quarter of an hour later, under Zhao Dali's order, the guards who stayed in Yunluan Mountain gathered at the foot of Yunluan Mountain.
And "Zhao Junchen" was riding on the horse without saying a word, with four strong men still carrying a coffin behind him!
Then, Wu Qifan delivered a speech instead of Zhao Junchen, telling the soldiers the seriousness of the war situation and also expressing Zhao Junchen's determination to participate in the war!
After Wu Qifan finished speaking, "Zhao Junchen" remained silent, but looked like he wanted to express his position through his own actions. He took the lead in rushing down Yunluan Mountain and towards the battlefield!
