Although Ning Fan said he was asking everyone for advice, he was looking straight at Li Ru, who was silent.
The princes allied forces and the army came to the pass. Li Ru was an experienced player in this round!
Just a low-end round.
"Lord!"
As if aware of Ning Fan's gaze, Li Ru took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and said softly: "Nine princes have now settled in Jiuchong Pass, which will inevitably breed many conflicts."
"I have three strategies that can make the nine princes collapse."
After hearing Li Ru's words, everyone's eyes turned towards him. People such as Dian Wei, Ran Min and others all had doubts on their faces. They didn't know who this person was, how dare he speak such arrogant words!
Xu Chu, on the other hand, had a look of expectation. In his previous life, he stood on the opposite side of the coalition of princes, and now, he happens to be in the same camp. It can be said that Li Ru has more say than Guo Jia.
"The first is to create a separation plan."
"As far as Confucianism is concerned, among the nine princes, King Zhao is withdrawn, arrogant, narrow-minded, and has no tolerance for others. If the lord sends people to win over him with great fanfare, then the princes in this route can be defeated!"
"Second, implement a delaying strategy."
"The coalition of nine princes has a large number of soldiers and horses, and the amount of food and grass supplies required is an astronomical figure. Although the princes are united for the sake of great cause, they will not be able to use it for a few days. The supply lines are far away from the three princes such as King Han and King Bei. I’m afraid the supply of food and grass will not be able to keep up.”
"Third, make countermeasures."
"This time the princes are able to unite together because the King of Qi among the nine princes called for it. If the princes do not respond, their great righteousness will be lost in Guanshan."
"In this case, my lord only needs to send people to spread rumors that the King of Qi summoned various princes to resist Dali in order to weaken the power of various princes."
"Three years ago, King Bei and King Han fought. King Han captured all the members of King Bei's family. My lord only needs to resort to alienation tactics, and the coalition of princes can defeat them."
After Li Ru's words fell, Ning Fan also fell into a brief thought. After a long time, he looked at Xu Chu and said: "Zhongkang, you set off immediately to go to Nanman, go..."
After Ning Fan explained, Xu Chu left happily, then looked at Li Ru and said: "Wen You, your three strategies are feasible. Now our army has conquered the eighth level pass in succession, and its morale is strong. The ninth level pass has been exposed to our army. Under the iron cavalry.”
"Now that the allied forces of the princes have gathered together, they will never be unable to retreat, otherwise they will be ridiculed by the people of the world. Therefore, our army can hold on to the eight levels of the pass and defeat the enemy at the key point."
"As for the counterintuitive plots and alienation plots you just mentioned, I'll leave them to you. Whether it's people or money, I will fully cooperate with you."
"As you command!"
"Thank you, my lord."
After hearing Ning Fan's name for Li Ru, everyone understood the identity of this young scholar, especially the generals from the Three Kingdoms period, who all looked at this handsome young man with fear.
"Everyone, start preparing for battle after we get down!"
"promise!"
Everyone left one after another, except Mu Qingcheng who sat on the same spot and did not move for a long time.
"Let's talk?"
There was a hint of surprise on Ning Fan's face. He looked at Mu Qingcheng's face with some seriousness, and then nodded slightly: "Let's go out and walk around together."
The two of them walked out of the hall one after another. Dian Wei and one of the empress's guards followed from a distance, looking around cautiously.
A cold moon hangs in the dark sky. The moonlight in winter nights is not bright, but it is even more charming when blocked by a few wisps of mist.
"After you conquer Guanshan, can you lend me these 100,000 soldiers and horses for two months?"
"oh?"
Ning Fan showed some doubts on his face, looked at the empress and said with a smile: "With our relationship, let alone borrowing troops, even if you borrow me, I will not refuse."
"However, these 100,000 troops under my command are naughty, stupid, and have a bad temper. Most people can't control them. Your Majesty, you might as well tell me what to do with them. If that doesn't work, I'll go for them."
"Ha!" Mu Qingcheng sneered and said lightly: "How do you think you can compare to an army of 100,000 people?"
"Because, this king gives orders to these 100,000 troops!"
"As long as I give the order, even if all of them are ordered to commit suicide on the spot, no one among these 100,000 soldiers will remain content. Does Your Majesty believe it?"
Seeing Ning Fan's confident and calm expression, with a hint of pride that could not be concealed in his eyes, Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. A military order could make all the 100,000 soldiers under his command commit suicide?
She didn't believe it, but she had to believe it.
Through this period of getting along with each other, she knew that everyone in the army under King Yong's command was extremely loyal, from the generals to the soldiers. When mentioning King Yong, she couldn't hide her arrogance.
He seems to have a blind worship of his master.
"You can't help me, but if I can command these 100,000 troops for more than a month..."
"You want to attack Da Yan?"
"no!"
Mu Qingcheng shook her head, and Ning Fan seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed: "Recapture Lingyou?"
"good!"
"Lingyou has been my territory since ancient times. Since King Lingyou betrayed Dali thirty years ago, Lingyou has become an ownerless land, but it occupies an extremely important position in my Dali. "
"If we can regain Lingyou, I can raise an army of 300,000 within a year."
"Furthermore, the garrison in Lingbei can also be withdrawn according to the situation, and there is no need to guard Lingyou every year."
"I can connect the southwestern part of my country with the interior of Guan..."
When Mu Qingcheng spoke, his face was extremely serious, and his eyes were always fixed on Ning Fan's face, which seemed to be a little uneasy.
Ning Fan was not in a hurry to answer, but fell into deep thought. The empress wanted to regain Lingyou, which was of no benefit to him. In fact, once Dali conquered Lingyou, it would directly pose a threat to the southwest border. .
Again, the half-dead Dali is the best Dali.
"What can I gain?"
The corners of Ning Fan's mouth were slightly raised with a wicked smile, and his eyes were scanning Mu Qingcheng's body unscrupulously. Now that the task has been completed and the reward has been obtained, there is no need to continue licking...
This 100,000-strong army is the trump card in his hand. It is no exaggeration to say that the begging army, white-robed army, Wei Wu soldiers, Xuanjia army, etc. combined are enough to compete with any of the five countries in the Central Plains.
He is even the kind of person who has a high probability of not losing. You want him to help others fight for no reason?
"I am willing to cede seven border cities in the southeast."
"No!"
Ning Fan didn't even think about it, just shook his head and refused, and said calmly: "If I want to plot your seven border cities, I don't need to use a hundred thousand troops, just let Chen Qingzhi lead 10,000 white-robed troops to knock on the pass, and we will do it within seven days. The city can be broken.”
"Does your Majesty believe it?"
