As soon as Zhu Long Fengyu finished speaking, a guard with a sword knocked on the door and came in. He cupped his hands to Fu Wen and said, "Generalissimo Ling Xiao, the general of Goguryeo, is outside the door requesting an audience."
Fu Wen was expressionless and motionless, "Please!"
The guards took the order and left.
What was talked about under the moon was all a matter of conspiracy. Ling Xiao was visiting Fu Wen alone, and there must be something important to discuss.
Fu Wen stood at the boat window, watching a figure quietly disappearing into the boat, and sighed softly, "It's rare to find peace in the world!"
Half a moment later, Fu Wen, who was wearing a plain robe, sat across from Ling Xiao, who was visiting late at night.
When it comes to difficult tasks, be strong but not breathless. People who are in trouble should be aware but silent.
Fu Wen was quite dissatisfied with the hasty conclusion of the secret conversation in Cai's fishing house, and he was irritated. He originally wanted to make things difficult for Ling Xiao before talking about business, but things were urgent. Fu Wen still suppressed his temper and asked softly straight to the point, " General Ling Xiao came to visit late at night, is there any unfinished business at the fishing house?"
Ling Xiao's face was dark, and he cupped his hands and said, "Generalissimo, I have taken the liberty of visiting you tonight and have come to offer you some advice."
Fu Wen raised his eyebrows and asked, "In the fishing house, in front of Gao Zhao, why didn't you say anything?"
Ling Xiao calmly replied, "The Lord is a generous man and treats me well. This plan may bring the Goguryeo Kingdom to destruction. I will not be able to bear to offer it in front of him. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Fu Wen frowned, then curled his eyebrows lightly, and continued to ask calmly, "My army is here to save our friendly countries from fire and water. As an important and capable minister under Gao Zhao, you, Ling Xiao, would have changed your strategy if the country of Goguryeo were destroyed." What benefit will it bring to you to be a prisoner?"
Facing Fu Wen's blunt question, Ling Xiao didn't show any surprise on his face. He still said calmly, "Your Highness, soldiers are crafty. Since ancient times, there has never been an army that declared victory before fighting. A general who promises defeat without fighting. On the battlefield, things are unpredictable. Once the military strategy is announced, you will not know the outcome or life or death until the end. If you blindly pursue a perfect strategy, wouldn’t you be bothering yourself? Therefore, the strategies offered by generals in the end are useless. We are absolutely sure that Goguryeo is a small country, and if one strategy fails, it will directly lead to the destruction of Goguryeo."
Jia Xuanshuo once taught Fu Wen: If a person has lied to you, just look at his eyes, because the eyes are the least likely part of a person to lie. .z.
Fu Wen looked closely at Ling Xiao's eyes under the dim light. He did not read deceit in Ling Xiao's eyes, but read a trace of sincerity. Then, Fu Wen raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Continue." "
Ling Xiao climbed up the steps and said, "The enmity between the general and Han Ting for killing his father is deeply engraved in my bones. I have sworn not to destroy the thieves. I, Ling Xiao, have sworn not to be a human being in this life. Now that the enemy has invaded the territory, the general will You should use all your strength to kill the enemy and use any means, but the enemy's army is powerful. If you only use soldiers against soldiers or generals against generals, it is like throwing eggs against stones. For the current plan, you can only take the wrong direction and win with surprise before you can make a comeback. Hope!"
These words made Fu Wen suddenly enlightened.
Under the premise that the troops and strength are inferior to others, only dangerous moves can have a chance of survival, and the price of dangerous moves is that the outcome is unpredictable.
Therefore, Ling Xiao did not lie when the two met for the first time.
After thinking about it, Fu Wen picked up a piece of purple nai, took a bite, and praised sincerely, "I have heard that only when a person has a sincerity that will never turn back, can he have endless magical effects. Now it seems that this statement is true. . General Ling Xiao, I would like to call you a loyal man who seeks the country!"
Ling Xiao knew that Fu Wen's words were only superficial compliments, so he said lightly, "Your Highness is overly complimentary. Loyalty and country-building are out of the question. They just have a common goal. Then, General Rong Mo will offer advice?"
Fu Wen took a sip of the refreshing tea, nodded with a smile, and said sincerely, "I have just taken over the military power, and I have no clever strategy for fighting the Han army. I originally planned to fight head-on, but General Ling Xiao's words woke up the dreamer. Therefore, I would like to ask the general to relieve my worries."
Fu Wen listened and understood, while Liu Huai acted arbitrarily. Judging from the attitude of the commanders of the Han Army and Qin Army towards their subordinates' suggestions, we can basically predict the outcome of this battle!
"His Highness marched silently before, and he must have had a plan in mind to catch him by surprise. However, His Highness has just arrived, and is not familiar with Liangliao, the Taibai Mountains in Chisong County, and the terrain of our country, so he lacks a detailed strategy.
and plans. Tonight, the general is here specifically for this purpose. "
This sentence was regarded as giving Fu Wen a step up. After saying this, Ling Xiao's face finally showed an imperceptible smile. He tightly twisted his chin beard with his palm and said, "The Taibai Mountains are covered with snow all year round. Thousands of miles of ice blocks the two countries, its territory is filled with strong winds, its scenery is all white, its momentum is directly toward the sky, its road has hundreds of twists and turns, and you cannot enter unless you are familiar with this place."
Fu Wen thought of the arduous experience of sneaking into the Taibai Mountains with Zhao Annan and others a few years ago to search for Tianchi. He couldn't help but feel the same and sighed, "A thousand miles to Taibai is as dangerous as climbing to the sky!"
Ling Xiao nodded, lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "This is both a dangerous place and an important place for military strategists. The Taibai Army, which was stationed on the edge of the Taibai Mountains by Han thieves, relied on the Taibai Mountains' hundreds of turns to build a wide range of military affairs. Only with the secret beacons can we resist the Goguryeo Kingdom for a century with the strength of an army. In such a dangerous place, the general can station troops here and make a big fuss!"
There was silence in the room for a moment. Fu Wen was silent for a few seconds, raised his eyebrows and asked, "General Ling Xiao, do you want me to set up an ambush in the Taibai Mountains? To stop the Han army."
Ling Xiao nodded and responded, "Your Highness is wise. However, with the strong combat power of the Qin army, the word 'block' can be changed to 'annihilate'."
Fu Wen leaned over his desk with a lamp and stared at the Taibai Mountains for a long time. His expression changed drastically, and he shouted to Ling Xiao in a cold voice, "General Ling Xiao deceived me when I was young. Do you think I am that stupid person?"
Ling Xiao's expression was calm and motionless, "Your Highness, where do you start with these words?"
Fu Wen suddenly raised his head and said sternly, "The Taibai Mountains are winding and winding, and the mountains are connected with each other. There are hundreds and thousands of routes for the Han army to attack Goguryeo. Now our Qin army is better than the Han army." The troops are relatively weak and cannot be divided to set up ambushes. Does the general think that I, Fu Wen, can spread the beans and form an army?"
Ling Xiao finally stood up, with a joyful expression on his face. He held up his hands with sincerity and said to Fu Wen, "Your Highness, at such a young age, can understand the pros and cons and hit the key points with his words. He is truly a proud man of heaven! I will admire you greatly!"
Fu Wen's gray eyes flashed, and he immediately stepped forward, helped Ling Xiao up, and said ecstatically, "Does the general have a good idea, which can predict the marching route of the Han army and solve this chaos?"
Ling Xiao stood up slowly and said respectfully in a low voice, "I think of two people for Your Highness, two people who can spread the beans and make an army. With these two people here, the Han army can't be said to be an army of 150,000, even an army of 300,000." , and will definitely be defeated!"
Fu Wen looked happy.
Ling Xiao turned around and looked around to make sure there was no one around. Immediately, he came forward and whispered in Fu Wen's ear.
These words took Fu Wen by surprise. After tasting it carefully, he couldn't help but be surprised and fell into thinking again.
Fu Wen's reflection made Ling Xiao's heart skip a beat and his body trembled.
After all, Ling Xiao was weak. Seeing Fu Wen's hesitation, he felt very uneasy. He was afraid that Fu Wen would reject his plan. He quickly advised him, "Your Highness, although this plan is dangerous, it is determined that Liu Huai is mediocre and incompetent and the reconciliation will be a great success." It will be easy to fall into the trap. As long as Liu Huai falls into the trap, the 150,000 Han army will be completely wiped out by our heavenly troops. By then, Your Highness will be so powerful in the north that everyone will surrender. Even if this plan fails, the troops and people of Goguryeo will raise their troops to fight. Hold fast to the city, retreat to the Qing Danger, and wait for His Highness to come back for reinforcements. This plan is worth a try!"
Fu Wen pursed his lips and thought, "You Ling Xiao are really good at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Goguryeo only has 5,000 troops, so you dare to talk about retreating."
But Fu Wen said, "General, don't be impatient. Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. Your Highness must observe it. Although the general's plan is brilliant, Your Highness still needs to summon the generals to details." After careful consideration, the general will take a rest and I will reply to the general the next day."
Ling Xiao saw Fu Wen's determined eyes, but without any further warning, he handed over his hand and was about to leave.
Just when Ling Xiao was about to go out, Fu Wen's soft words reached Ling Xiao's ears, "General Ling Xiao, you didn't tell King Gao Zhao and came to visit you late at night to offer advice. I am very pleased. However, nothing is free in the world. lunch, what are your intentions in coming here late at night? Or, what do you want to gain by using this proposed strategy?"
Talk about benefits before things are done, and save trouble after things are done. This is the principle Fu Wen learned from books.
Ling Xiao stopped and turned his back to Fu Wen, with a look of pain on his face. He controlled his emotions and said calmly, "My relatives, my friends, my brother, everyone who has anything to do with me in this world has died. Using the hands of Han thieves to help the Qin army defeat the Han thieves is what I want."
"The king of the country, Gao Zhao, is very scheming. He knows that his own strength is not strong at the moment and he does not have the ability to conquer Bozhou. If Goguryeo wants to survive in the cracks between the Qin and Han empires, no one can offend the country. Therefore, the king He then lied that Goguryeo had only 5,000 combatable troops, allowing the Qin army to fight against the Han thieves. Even if the Qin army was defeated, Gao Zhao would have the excuse of "never sending troops to fight" to seek peace from the Han army. "
Fu Wen raised his eyebrows slightly and snorted coldly, "Gao Zhao thinks so well!"
"So, Gao Zhao only wanted the Han traitors to retreat, but he didn't want rivers of blood and enmity to form."
Ling Xiao's voice gradually faded away, "But, I don't want these 150,000 Han troops to be alive after this battle!"
So, here I come!
...
After Ling Xiao left with a lot of worries, Fu Wen immediately ordered several generals to come here immediately to discuss matters.
While waiting, Fu Wen's heart was ups and downs, and he said to Zhu Long Fengyu in the dark, "Senior Zhu Long, do you think Gao Zhao's wonderful talk is feasible? What are the chances of winning?"
"I'm not one of those pedants at Broken Moon Thatched Cottage who hold up a military book and read it endlessly every day. I'm only a martial artist, and I don't understand and don't like military affairs. If you ask me this, you're playing the piano to an ox! Haha! It's a useless question. Already!"
Zhu Long Fengyu, who had only heard his voice but not seen his person, paused for a moment and said cheerfully, "But there is a rough saying in our world, which is to push people to their limits. It can be done no matter what, it must be done! Except for Ling Xiao's one Strategy, kid, do you have any other battle plan with a higher winning rate?"
Fu Wen chuckled, "Senior really woke up the dreamer with just one word!"
Rune's leaders on this trip are all young generals with great vigor.
After the generals arrived at Fu Wen's residence, Fu Wen told Ling Xiao's plan, and several generals agreed unanimously. So, after discussing many details and the division of labor for this battle, the generals rushed to Taibai at night without stopping. mountains.
Fu Wen, on the other hand, wrote quickly and wrote letters to the two people who Ling Xiao said could "turn the tide of the war."
After everything was taken care of, Fu Wen finally lay down on the soft couch and had a good sleep.
In the dream, he rode a white horse alone, crossed the Ji'en River, stood on Wuci Mountain, and looked south to the Central Plains.
Behind him, thousands of troops were waiting for his command.
Tigers and wolves suddenly descend in the north, and white mountains and black waters show off their heroes.
A roll of the flag will calm the storm, and a wave of shame will repay the country's kindness.
