Chapter 411 Lure the enemy deeper
Chapter 410: Lure the enemy deeper
Fang Qiao, whose courtesy name is Xuanling, is known as "Fang Mou Du Duan" because he is good at planning and Du Ruhui is decisive in dealing with things. Later generations regarded him and Du Ruhui as models of good looks, and they were collectively called "Fang Du".
After Fang Xuanling surrendered to the King of Qin Li Shimin in Weibei, he gave advice and advice to Li Shimin and was the administrator and secretary. He was one of the most effective advisers to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
"New Book of Tang Dynasty" commented on Fang Xuanling as "Xuanling was in charge of the country, worked hard day and night, served the public with integrity, and did not want to lose anything. He had no taboos about concubines, and when he heard people were good, he treated them as if they were his own. He was wise in the administration of officials, and He is decorated with elegance, handles laws and orders, and is lenient. He does not rely on others to take advantage of him, and he does not ask for any favors from others. Even if he is humble, he will do his best, or if he is given something, he will plead guilty and be vigilant. Treat it as if you have nothing to show for it."
Being able to leave such a long evaluation in the history books fully shows that Fang Xuanling is a real national scholar and a genuine prime minister.
Silently listening to Fang Xuanling's talk in the hall, who was wearing patched clothes, Qin Hao suppressed the joy in his heart and said with a faint smile: "Sir, what a great idea. What you said made me enlightened. Qin Hao learned a lesson."
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling knew that this young and outrageous general must have recognized him, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Fang Xuanling was conceited about his talent, but he had been wasting his years in Luoyang, so naturally he felt extremely unwilling to do so.
It wasn't until Fang Xuanling learned that his friend Liu Ji had been favored by the champion Hou Qin Hao, and with Liu Ji's deliberate flattery, Fang Xuanling started to try his luck with Qin Hao.
After a simple exchange, Fang Xuanling could see the ambition hidden in Qin Hao's heart at a glance. He was not afraid that Qin Hao had ambition, but he was afraid that Qin Hao had no ambition.
If Qin Hao had no ambition, then Fang Xuanling would only pretend to join him, but in fact, he would seek promotion capital for himself and turn to the real Ming master.
The ambition and vision shown by Qin Hao finally moved Fang Xuanling, because only such a lord can let his talents be used as he wishes.
After identifying Qin Hao, Fang Xuanling naturally had no reservations, so she tried her best to use her words to make Qin Hao think highly of her, and now the effect should be pretty good.
"My lord, you are so ridiculous. The Yellow Turban seems to be powerful, but the hidden dangers inside are also fatal. And there must be many talents who can get stuck in this situation. It is not a matter of high opinion." Fang Xuanling said humbly.
"Sir, you are being too modest. Regardless of other things, you just say that the imperial court is a bunch of trash. If you can really see this, how can the current situation collapse to this point?"
Fang Xuanling was shocked. She didn’t expect that Qin Hao, as a consort, would be so dissatisfied with the imperial court. Is this really okay...
Fang Xuanling glanced at Liu Bowen on the side, and seeing his smiling face, Fang Xuanling knew that this friend must have the same thoughts as herself, so she recognized Qin Hao as the master.
Hey, Liu Ji, I lent you money every time when we were classmates, but you knew it... but didn't tell me, just to see if I didn't impoverish you. Fang Xuanling thought to herself.
Qin Hao didn't realize what Fang Xuanling was thinking, and asked himself: "Sir, the Yellow Turbans' 300,000-strong army is about to attack the country. I wonder if you have any strategies to teach me?"
Fang Xuanling knew that this was Qin Hao's ultimate assessment of herself, and she couldn't help but feel very energetic.
Fang Xuanling did have a plan in mind, but he and Liu Ji discussed the plan together, so it was difficult to say it directly, but if you don't say it, you don't have to say it.
Fang Xuanling glanced at Liu Ji again and felt relieved when he saw him nodding to her.
Assuming you still have a conscience, I’ll let you go first!
Fang Xuanling suppressed her smile and said seriously: "My lord, Xiang Yu has been in battle for a long time, and Zhang Liang is very resourceful. Facing such an opponent, ordinary strategies will not work. Only outland strategy can work."
What is conspiracy?
It is a plan that you have to jump into even though you know it is a trick.
But facing a counselor like Zhang Liang, it would be very difficult for Yang to be effective.
“I have a plan to ‘lure the enemy deeper’, and when combined with the master’s ‘countermeasure’, it will definitely produce miraculous results.” Fang Xuanling said confidently. Qin Hao nodded. Although he now had the danger of Xiongguan, he was not prepared to place the decisive battle at Yiqueguan.
Xiangyang City in Jingzhou was the location of the decisive battle in Qin Hao's heart, and Fang Xuanling's plan to "lure the enemy deep" coincided with Gui Guzi's plan.
"Yique Pass is too close to Luoyang. Even if Xiang Yu is defeated, Zhang Jiao can send more troops at any time. Therefore, staying at Yique Pass will only weaken our army's strength. It is best to retreat to Jingzhou."
After the Yellow Turbans implemented the "Heavenly Land Acre System", people everywhere became almost fanatical in their support of the Yellow Turbans. There were countless people who voluntarily joined the Yellow Turbans to protect their hard-won land.
So even if Qin Hao has a hundred thousand troops in his hands, and even if he has the protection of a majestic pass like Yique Pass, he still can't defeat the Yellow Turbans with countless soldiers.
“The imperial court has sent Master Ding Yuan to Jingzhou for mobilization, and only with Jingzhou as our back can we have the capital to compete with the Yellow Turbans and ultimately defeat them.” Fang Xuanling continued.
Following Dong Zhuo's appointment as the governor of Liangzhou, Liu Hong appointed a second non-clan governor, Ding Yuan, the governor of Jingzhou.
Ding Yuan would be named the governor of Jingzhou. This was something Qin Hao never expected. After all, he changed from the appointed governor of Hedong to the governor of Jingzhou. The gap was indeed too big.
But it was Qin Hao who really pushed Ding Yuan to become the governor of Jingzhou.
Qin Hao, who commanded the Southern Route Army, had to rely on Jingzhou to defeat Xiang Yu. Among the Han army, the only person Liu Hong could think of who could cooperate well with Qin Hao, integrate the power of Jingzhou and fully support Qin Hao, and be loyal to the court was Ding. Original.
In this case, Ding Yuan took advantage and unexpectedly became the governor of Jingzhou.
Everything Fang Xuanling said was correct. There was only one thing that made Qin Hao a little confused, so he asked: "Sir, didn't you say before that Zhang Liang would definitely be able to see through the general's 'counterintuitive plan'?"
Fang Xuanling seemed to have known that Qin Hao would ask this question. A smile flashed at the corner of his mouth and said: "My lord, Zhang Liang is not the main general in this battle. It doesn't matter even if he can see through it, as long as Xiang Yu can't see through it."
The relationship between Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu, as everyone in the Han Dynasty knows, is definitely not good.
After Xiang Yu lost his inheritance rights, Zhang Liang became the only beneficiary. Faced with such a deputy who replaced him, is it possible for Xiang Yu to listen to Zhang Liang's words?
Of course it’s possible.
“In the face of big issues of right and wrong, Xiang Yu will definitely be influenced by Zhang Liang.” Qin Hao said with great conviction.
With Xiang Yu's character, even if he disagrees with Zhang Liang's views, he will definitely think deeply in his heart, and this may tell something.
Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "My lord is indeed right, but as long as the 'anti-indirect strategy' is modified, Xiang Yu will definitely not be able to see it."
Qin Hao was stunned and asked: "How to modify it?"
“Has my lord forgotten Ji Bu in prison?”
The first update is here. I had too much fun with the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday, so I took a day off. There will be two updates today. The second update will be posted before twelve o'clock.
