Guo Mengsheng nodded, expressing understanding.

But he secretly sighed in his heart, the plan was indeed a clever one, but it was too risky.

The prince is young and has a natural recklessness in his behavior.

This momentum is even stronger than that of the former Emperor Wu.

Although the prince is right, if the city of Dandang is captured, it will completely cut off the Xiongnu's retreat southward.

But it would also place the Wu Dynasty at the pass where the Xiongnu attacked from the north and the south, and I'm afraid it wouldn't last long.

"But the Huns are coming with great force, and they will definitely not let us capture it so easily. The best strategy they can adopt is to transfer back the Huns troops stationed in Chu State, and then dispatch a large number of cavalry from the Huns Dragon City to march southward forcefully."

Guo Mengsheng frowned as he listened.

He suddenly understood what the prince meant.

"Could it be that His Highness is saying... that the Huns may cross the river from the Chu-Han border?!"

"Exactly."

In the past, in order to avoid conflict with the Wu Dynasty, the Xiongnu would choose to take a detour.

Once the Wu Dynasty took the initiative to declare war, the Xiongnu must have been too proud and would not give in.

Li Yunxing said coldly: "If we can predict the enemy's movements in advance, then the Huns will never even think of setting foot on the border between Chu and Han."

Guo Mengsheng pondered for a moment, it was indeed a clever plan, but the risk was not low, if it failed...

"If this is the case, then wouldn't we be in a situation where we are attacked from both sides?"

"No!" Li Yunxing said with a smile: "I have no intention of fighting with them. As long as they leave the border of Chu State, our Wu Dynasty can retreat."

Guo Mengsheng was stunned, "Retreat?"

"Yes!" Li Yunxing said: "The Huns must not be able to take care of both the head and the tail. As long as we seize this gap and immediately go south to join forces with the Chu State to destroy the Huns army that has penetrated deep into the hinterland, we can severely damage their vigor."

Li Yunxing's eyes flashed with cold light, "At that time, we will gather the Chu State and the Western Regions to encircle the three parties and defeat the Xiongnu!"

Guo Mengsheng suddenly realized this, and then sighed at Li Yunxing's courage and strategy.

When Li Yunxing said this, he suddenly asked: "The prefect, do you think what I said is correct?"

The other party quickly clasped his fists and said, "The prince is far-sighted and I admire him!"

Li Yunxing smiled slightly: "The governor is ridiculous, but has the governor ever thought about why I would take the risk to do this?"

Guo Mengsheng thought for a while and shook his head.

Li Yunxing smiled slightly and said: "Prefect, please remember that my father once told me that if you want to take something, you must give it to me first!"

"Well……"

Guo Mengsheng thought about it carefully and suddenly exclaimed: "What does His Highness mean..."

"That's right!"

Li Yunxing's smile grew thicker and he said: "My father taught me that if you want to kill someone, you must first make them crazy."

"If we retreat, the Xiongnu will definitely be mad and think that we have been frightened out of courage, so they will act unscrupulously."

"But once they take the initiative to attack and lure the enemy deep into Pingyang from Decadang City to Wu Dynasty, they will have to pass through a canyon of nearly 500 miles, and they will definitely encounter many obstacles. And we can take advantage of this opportunity to harass them behind!"

"When the time comes, no matter whether the Huns choose to continue going south or return to Decadent City, they will be in great danger! It will even affect the speed of their march south, giving us time to breathe and recover."

"In this way, we can not only preserve our strength, but also cripple this Hun cavalry!"

"If you're lucky, you might be able to annihilate this cavalry team!"

Guo Mengsheng's eyes widened the more he listened.

He did not expect that Li Yunxing would have such courage at such a young age.

Li Yunxing said with a smile: "That's why I want to send a strong army and lead a partial army to pretend to break out of the siege from Daidang City. After they chase them out of Daidang City, they will ambush them halfway!"

Guo Mengsheng looked shocked. He didn't expect that Li Yunxing would be so ruthless and planned to catch them all!

However, Guo Mengsheng was vaguely worried. After all, the Huns had excellent riding skills and were good at nomadic herding. If they wanted to run away, they might be difficult to stop.

And with only five thousand elite troops, it would be too dangerous.

Li Yunxing seemed to have noticed Guo Mengsheng's thoughts, and said calmly: "The governor does not need to worry too much. If the Huns don't chase them out, it will not be a loss for us. At least it will solve the urgent need of Chu State."

"If they pursue them, we can counterattack!"

Guo Mengsheng took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is wise!"

It was hard for Guo Mengsheng not to admit that Li Yunxing's idea was indeed very thorough and full of courage.

There is a saying in Sun Tzu's The Art of War that the virtual is virtual and the real is real; the real is virtual and the virtual is real.

Li Yunxing's current strategy is to combine virtual reality with reality.

Use some elite troops to pretend to be a defeated army and lure the Huns to go.

And behind, there are heavy troops buried, waiting for them to take the bait.

Once they pursue them, Wu Chao can take the opportunity to counterattack.

It seems that the purpose is to compete with the Xiongnu for this small piece of land, but in fact it is to force the enemy out of Chu State. Then the two parties will work together to defeat the enemy!

"Not only that, the prefect also needs to help me make proper arrangements." Li Yunxing said, "After all, this matter is related to the lifeblood of the entire Wu Dynasty."

Guo Mengsheng looked solemn, bowed and asked, "Your Highness, I still have something unclear."

"You want to ask why I came to you to do this?"

Li Yunxing said with a smile.

Guo Mengsheng was shocked, and suddenly felt like a naked person standing in front of the prince.

Li Yunxing saw through every move and every thought he made.

"The prince is indeed very intelligent, and I admire him greatly."

Li Yunxing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have a secret. I want to tell the prefect. Is the prefect willing to listen?"

Guo Mengsheng's heart beat violently several times.

Secret, such a seductive word, is also such a dangerous word.

If you are not careful or leak the information, you may die unexpectedly.

The more you know, the longer you will live.

Li Yunxing saw Guo Mengsheng hesitate and spoke slowly, "I suspect that someone in the court is colluding with the Huns."

Hearing this, Guo Mengsheng raised his head suddenly.

What does this... mean?

Li Yunxing's eyes were long and he said: "Father has been on the throne for twenty years and has governed the world. He has worked hard to govern and expand territory. Although there are still die-hards in the court, there are also loyal and patriotic people! But..."

"Some people's ambitions are never satisfied with just being a powerful minister. In order to check and balance power, Emperor Wu sometimes had to give up a lot of things." There was a trace of bitterness in the corner of Li Yunxing's mouth.

Guo Mengsheng naturally understands this truth.

Now that Liu Zhongqing is in power in the court, doesn't Emperor Wu know?
