Liyangcang has become Yang Gao's temporary palace.
In the cabin, Yang Gao was reading through the apology sheet that Yue Fei had just sent. In the battle of Yecheng, although Yue Fei finally repelled the Tang army's surprise attack, he did suffer heavy losses. Together with Qin Ming, a total of twelve generals and captains were killed, and nearly 10,000 troops and horses were lost. Yue Fei believed that all this was due to his carelessness in underestimating the enemy, and was willing to bear all the blame.
Yang Gao browsed for a long time before slowly closing the fold of Yue Fei's plea. He looked around at Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, Chen Ping and other counselors in the hall, and slowly said: "Yue Qing has submitted a plea to plead guilty. What do you dear ladies think of this matter? "
"His Majesty!"
Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. The intervention of the Tang Army was something that none of us expected. What's more, General Yue remained calm in the face of danger after being attacked by the Tang Army's cavalry and commanded well, thus avoiding a bigger disaster." casualties."
Liu Bowen also nodded and said: "Now that the war is about to begin, if you re-employ the commander at this time, it will definitely affect the morale of the entire army. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"What the two dear ladies said is absolutely true!"
Yang Gao nodded slightly, put aside Yue Fei's apology, and asked again: "I wonder what you, my dear friends, think of this Tang Army cavalry?"
"Your Majesty! I think so."
Chen Ping came out and said: "At present, the Puppet Tang Dynasty has just experienced the defeat of Luoyang, lost the land of Bashu, and its vitality has been severely damaged. Presumably the senior officials of the Puppet Tang Dynasty must also have a sense of crisis, so they will do everything possible to hinder the development of our army. "
"What Mr. Chen said is absolutely true!"
An unflattering voice sounded from the side. This person was Jia Xu, who had just taken over as the commander of the Jinyiwei: "According to the information from the Jinyiwei, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang and Yuan Chu were able to shake hands and make peace this time was because the Puppet Tang Dynasty mediated between them. . They must be desperate now to contact all forces to resist me, the Sui Dynasty!"
Fang Xuanling also spoke slowly: "The Puppet Tang Dynasty suffered heavy setbacks before and it was difficult to launch a major war. The purpose of sending this cavalry into Hebei this time is undoubtedly to delay our army's recovery of Hebei and buy more time for them to recover. "
Chen Ping took over and continued: "Presumably this cavalry will give full play to the mobility of the cavalry, avoid the main force of our army, and constantly harass our army's supply lines!"
Xi Zhicai said with a serious face: "There are many cavalry in the plains of Hebei, and the cavalry comes and goes like the wind. However, the focus of our army is to regain Hebei to fight the coalition forces of Zhu Yuanzhang and Yuan Chu. I am afraid that we will not be able to encircle and suppress this cavalry!"
"yes!"
Liu Bowen nodded and said in a deep voice: "If you want to encircle and suppress this cavalry, you will not only need several times the strength of theirs, but also a lot of time to pursue and intercept them. Under the current situation, this may be difficult to do. Unless there is some way to do it. Lure them into showing up on their own?”
"I'm afraid this may be a bit difficult!"
Chen Ping wrinkled his eyes slightly and said: "According to the battle report sent by General Yue, the cavalry seized the opportunity during the surprise attack very cleverly. I believe that the general must be a person who is proficient in the art of war and will not take the bait easily."
“If you want to catch big fish, you must use a fragrant erbium!”
At this moment, Yang Gao, who was sitting at the top, slowly said: "I have an idea, maybe I can lure them to show up."
When Liu Bowen and other counselors heard this, their eyes lit up and they asked in unison: "I wonder what your majesty has ingenious plan?"
"My plan is actually very simple!"
Yang Gao smiled slightly and said: "I plan to go north to Ye County in person tomorrow to supervise the war!"
"Your Majesty plans to use himself as bait!" Several counselors were all outstanding figures in the world with intelligence scores over 95, and they immediately understood Yang Gao's intention.
Yang Gao nodded and said: "Yes, the old thief Li Yuan has dreamed of taking my head. My head must be worth a prince no matter what in the Puppet Tang Dynasty. This is a big deal for those soldiers." It’s an irresistible temptation.”
"Your Majesty, no!"
Xi Zhicai hurriedly dissuaded him and said: "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. If anything happens, the country will be in danger!"
Fang Xuanling also said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is indeed a sweet bait for the puppet Tang army. But now that the battle of Yecheng has just ended, Your Majesty has just rode northward. Is the intention of this too obvious?"
"If the commander-in-chief of Tang Army were someone else, he might not take the bait. But -"
Yang Gao lightly knocked on the table and said: "The generals of the Tang Army are Lu Xian and Guan Yi. I have absolute confidence that they will take the bait! As for safety, there are two generals Chengdu and Li Cunxiao escorting them. The pseudo-Tang Na How can a bunch of rats hurt me! What's more, the world is in chaos, the Sui Dynasty is divided by the rebels, and the barbarians are also eyeing me in the Central Plains. Do you think I can stay back and be a happy emperor with peace of mind? "
Chen Ping heard this and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you know about Lu Xian and Guan Yi?"
"Of course I know, I know these two people very well!"
In his previous life, Yang Gao was a fan of the Three Kingdoms, and he was naturally very familiar with Lu Bu and Guan Yu. Along with Guan Erye's name of loyalty and bravery, his arrogance will be passed down to later generations. Guan Yu lost Jingzhou - arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
As for Lu Bu, a man known as the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms, if he didn't have arrogance in his heart, Yang Gao would never believe him no matter what.
Two arrogant people together, even if they know something is wrong in their hearts, they will dive in without hesitation.
