"Okay, you can ask Hei Bingtai to secretly help Li Mi escape the pursuit and make contact with Li Mi!" Qin Zheng nodded in agreement.
It is indeed a good idea to support Li Mi in trying to split Li Tang. The investment won't be too much, but if it succeeds, the rewards will be huge.
"Master Wei, let him in!" Qin Zheng turned to Wei Liao on the other side and said.
"Yes, lord!" Wei Liao nodded and replied.
The person Wei Liao is about to bring is the focus of today. It was precisely because of this person's previous suggestions that Qin Zheng directly rejected Nei Shiteng's idea of attacking the Tang Dynasty just now.
In a moment, under the leadership of Wei Liao, a young man in his twenties or fives slowly walked into the lobby. This man was dressed in linen. He obviously did not come from a wealthy family, and his appearance was quite ordinary. He was not conspicuous in a crowd, but his eyes were quite smart.
Although this person seemed unremarkable, everyone couldn't help but focus on this person. Qin Zheng specially called this person in. Obviously, this person is the focus of what will be discussed next.
"Hahaha, let me introduce you. This is my disciple, Han Xin!" Wei Liao laughed.
Being able to cultivate a disciple who can surpass oneself is enough to prove that this is a truly excellent teacher. Wei Liao obviously did this.
In terms of military theory, Han Xin has now surpassed Wei Liao. Now, all Han Xin lacks is practice. As long as Han Xin can put everything he has learned into practice, he will definitely have a place among the top players in the world.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Liao finally agreed to send Han Xin to the army and decisively introduced him to Qin Zheng. Wei Liao would not insist on the final choice of his disciple, but if Qin Zheng and Han Xin could meet each other first, Wei Liao would still be willing to help Qin Zheng fight for this opportunity.
Moreover, in practice, Wei Liao couldn't help Han Xin, but Qin Zheng could.
Moreover, Qin Zheng's ability to recognize people is indeed first-rate. After a short conversation, he has already recognized Han Xin's ability. As for Han Xin, because of his relationship with Wei Liao, he naturally had a good impression of Qin Zheng. So these two people, Sesame and Mung Bean, finally fell in love with each other.
"Disciple!" Everyone in the hall couldn't help but be startled after hearing these two words.
You must know that Wei Liao is a talented person, and Qin Zheng himself treats him as a teacher. Moreover, Wei Liao's vision was surprisingly high. Zhang Han, a famous general in the Qin army, and Qin Ji, who was born in a clan, had previously wanted to become apprentices to Wei Liao, but they had failed.
But now, Wei Liao suddenly had a disciple appear. Moreover, looking at this, I am afraid that this disciple is no longer in such a short period of one or two years.
It wasn't until now that they realized how deep this old guy was hiding! Such a big living person has been hiding as a disciple for so many years without letting them know.
"Han Xin, tell this crowd of ministers what you planned last night again!" Qin Zheng waved his hand to Han Xin.
Qin Zheng believed in his own vision and asked Han Xin to gain experience in the army. In time, he would become the pillar of the Qin army.
"Yes, lord!" Han Xin bowed his hands and saluted.
"In my opinion, our army will attack Li Tang openly and capture Yuyang secretly." Han Xin pointed to the location of a map in the lobby and talked.
"Our army can pretend to take advantage of the civil strife in Li Tang to attack Li Tang. In fact, we can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and divide our troops into two groups. They will first go to Yuyang and then attack Guangyang and Zhuojun. If we capture these three places at once, our army's situation will be divided. So cheerful! Next..."
Lu Buwei, Fan Ju, Li Xin, Feng Quji and others looked at the places pointed by Han Xin and couldn't help but admire the young man's boldness. Han Xin's goal in this battle was not for Youzhou. It was probably to prepare for the subsequent attack on Jizhou.
Youzhou includes Zhuojun, Daijun, Guangyang, Yuyang, Shanggu, Liaoxi, Xuantu, Lelang, Youbeiping, Liaodong vassal state, and Liaodong eleven counties.
Among them, Qin Zheng controlled the six counties on the left side of Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong vassal states, Liaodong, Xuantu, and Lelang, as well as a small area of land to the northwest of Goguryeo. Liu Bang controls the five counties of Daijun, Shanggujun, Zhuojun, Guangyang, and Yuyang to the west of Youzhou.
However, in fact, Qin Zheng was in a very awkward position. When fighting to the west, Liu Bang and Le Yi were very stubborn. Although Qin Zheng could take some advantage, it could not take any real advantage. The territory here was not easy to grasp.
If you go north, it's the grassland. If you want to attack the grassland, you will need a large-scale cavalry force. But in terms of cavalry, how could Qin Zheng compete with the grassland. Moreover, even if the territory is conquered, how should we defend this vast grassland?
The habits of Han people and grassland people are different. If Qin Zheng wants to hold on to the territory he has conquered, he must build cities. But to build a city on the grassland, a lot of money, food and manpower are needed, and the gain outweighs the loss. What you may get in the end is not much spent. Therefore, as for the north, Qin Zheng only sent people to fight against the autumn wind and snatch a group of war horses when necessary.
As for the south, it is the sea and cannot be fought.
Therefore, from a long time ago, Qin Zheng set the direction of expansion to the east. Attacking the east is indeed very simple. The combat power, armament, and generals of the soldiers on both sides are not of the same level. However, since the appearance of Li Yuan and his son, Dongfang has become stronger day by day.
In addition, Liu Bang would definitely not be able to sit back and watch the Qin government become stronger. Therefore, it is inevitable to try every means to delay. It is precisely because of this that Qin Zheng's expansion process in the east was quite slow.
Moreover, after all, there are differences in race, culture and other aspects. Although Qin Zheng conquered a small area of the former Goguryeo, which is now Litang, he wanted to completely digest it and turn it into a part of his own strength. It is much more troublesome than directly attacking Han areas. And this is part of the reason why progress toward the east is slow.
Last night, Han Xin's plan made Qin Zheng once again change his target from the east to the west. According to common sense, the civil strife in Li Tang was definitely a great opportunity to send troops. At this time, if Qin Zheng wanted to send troops eastward, Liu Bang's group would definitely not be suspicious.
In this way, the success rate of the plan to attack Yuyang is still quite high when the opponent takes it lightly. After Yuyang, as long as Guangyang and Zhuojun can be captured, or even just one more Guangyang, the Qin army's situation can be completely opened up.
At this time, Qin Zheng had a choice whether he was going step by step to continue to encroach on Liu Bang, or he was taking advantage of the confrontation between Ji and Qing to take advantage of Yuan Shao, instead of clinging to the goal of Li Tang in the East as before. .
As long as Han Xin's plan succeeds this time, Qin Zheng will have many more directions to choose from. With more directions, this chess move can be played successfully.
