This is also the reason why many smart people in later generations were deceived.
It’s not that they are not smart enough to identify a scam, but that when faced with a scam, they can’t restrain their desires and have a fluke mentality, thinking that they are smarter than the liar and can snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, and then they
I fell into the swindler's trick and was deceived for a while.
Therefore, being deceived is not exclusive to stupid people, smart people can also be deceived, and the probability of smart people being deceived is higher than that of stupid people.
Because smart people have many ideas and desires, many deceptive tricks can be used on them, while stupid people have simple ideas and simple desires. They cannot understand many deceptive tricks used on them, so they are deceived.
The probability becomes smaller.
For example, Li Shimin rode with a hundred people at the same time in front of the city guarded by Yang Zhengdao and Yu Wenbao. Both Yang Zhengdao and Yu Wenbao received orders to stay in the city. The smart man Yang Zhengdao looked at Li Shimin's head and kept thinking.
If someone wanders around in front of him, he will have the idea of cutting off Li Shimin's head to achieve great achievements, while Yu Wenbao, who is not very smart, will not be able to hold on. Let alone Li Shimin wandering outside the city, even if he appears on the edge of the moat, he estimates
He would only fire a few arrows and continue to defend the city.
This is the difference between smart people and stupid people when they face temptation.
Foolish people can withstand temptation better than smart people.
Of course, there are those who are not only stupid, but also easily deceived, and who also have a lot of resources at their disposal.
When you encounter this kind of person, you can only say that his life is good.
People don’t care if they’ve been deceived. They go back to their parents to cry, or they go through the house, and the ones who were deceived come out again.
Ordinary people cannot compare with others.
Just like Qu Tushou, although his political wisdom is shockingly low, he has a good ancestor and a good father. Even if he has no political wisdom, after Qu Tushou has passed a hundred years, he will still be promoted to a high nobility in the Tang Dynasty.
Among them, he became the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, ranking above many nobles and being worshiped by thousands of people.
After all, given Qu Tutong's contribution to the Tang Dynasty, after his death, even if his title was inherited by his son at a reduced rate, it would not be appropriate to give it to a marquis, so it would probably be given to some county or county prince.
Regardless of whether he is a county prince or a county prince, he is still a prince. In essence, he is still among the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Highness, what you asked me to prepare has been prepared, but you want me to personally lead people to attack Yang Zhengdao and his party?"
In the evening, as soon as Li Yuanji and Li Shimin returned to the courtyard of Xiangyi Racecourse, Xue Wanche hurried to the side hall of the courtyard to report.
However, Xue Wanche said this to Li Shimin, but he looked at Li Yuanji.
Because Li Shimin is no longer His Highness, and does not even have an official title, he is not qualified to give him orders.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and motioned for Li Shimin to speak.
Li Shimin was not polite, and said to Xue Wanche carelessly: "Logically speaking, your injury is not healed yet, so it is not appropriate to use force, but since you took the initiative to ask for help, then it is up to you.
Remember, after you go there, you must not be reluctant to fight. After three or four sneak attacks, you should immediately lead your troops back, and then hide outside the north and south hills, hiding your whereabouts so as not to be discovered by Yang Zhengdao's scouts.
Once you hear the movement here, immediately lead your troops to kill them, and by then no one standing outside the city will be left alive."
These words echoed Xue Wanche's appetite, especially the last sentence, so after hearing it, Xue Wanche happily agreed, "Here!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for Xue Wanche to go.
Xue Wanche did not hesitate, and left the side hall with a smile on his face and light steps.
For him, fighting is his favorite thing. As long as there is a war and he is allowed to play, he will not refuse to do anything.
A typical war maniac.
This kind of person is definitely a leader on the battlefield, but in other places, it's hard to say.
"This idiot is really obedient when he is obedient, but he is really a headache when he is disobedient."
I don't know where Xue Wanche fell in Li Shimin's eyes. Not long after he left, Li Shimin suddenly started to comment on him.
Li Yuanji sat upright in front of the desk, glanced at Li Shimin strangely, and asked: "Whether he is good or bad, does it have anything to do with you?"
Do you think you are still the Li Shimin, the Heavenly Khan in history?!
Everyone loves you, crawls at your feet, and swears to serve you?
you are not!
You are now the number one general in Prince Yong's Mansion. You must do your job well, or your wages will be deducted!
But...it seems like you don't have any wages!
Without wages, you are a slave!
A slave shouldn't have thoughts that he shouldn't have!
When Li Shimin heard this, he curled his lips, looked for a document in the side hall, and flipped through it aimlessly.
At nightfall, the scout who had been keeping an eye on Yang Zhengdao's movements appeared in the side hall wearing blood-stained clothes and reported.
"Your Highness, the thief is almost ten miles outside Aries City!"
Li Yuanji looked at his bloody clothes and an arrow wound on his face, frowned slightly and said: "You led your men to fight with them, and you were injured?"
The scout nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, after they discovered Chen and Chen's brothers, they rushed up like crazy. Chen and Chen's brothers fought for nearly half an hour before escaping their pursuit.
"
Li Yuanji stood up slowly and said: "You are good scouts. They can chase you to this extent. It seems that they are really crazy!"
If he wasn't crazy, no one would send out a large number of troops to hunt down the scouts.
After all, the battlefield has always been about soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus scouts, and scouts versus scouts.
Generally, when scouts go out to spy on intelligence, they are also the ones who will intervene to stop them. It is rare for a general who leads troops to send other troops to intervene in the struggle between scouts.
The scouts in King Yong's guard cannot be said to be the kings of scouts, but they are also the best among the scouts. It is impossible to force them to this level just by the scouts in Yang Zhengdao's improvised team, so Yang
Zhengdao must have used other troops.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Shimin suddenly interjected at this time: "It should have been when Xue Wanche led his men to sneak attack on them, and beat them painfully, otherwise, Yang Zhengdao would not have been able to do such a bad thing
Common sense."
Li Yuanji thought about it and said, "That's right!"
If Xue Wanche had not beaten Yang Zhengdao painfully, Yang Zhengdao would not have been so crazy and sent other troops to hunt down the scouts in a time-consuming and labor-intensive manner.
It must have been that Xue Wanche caused some heavy injuries to him when he sneak-attacked him, causing him pain.
This also confirms what Li Shimin said before, that is, although Yang Zhengdao was superior in strategy, his military ability did not increase with his strategy.
"Do you think Yang Zhengdao will stop moving forward because of this?"
Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and asked.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and said: "You mean he is likely to back down?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "It is also possible that we will stop ten miles outside Aries City, and then disperse our troops to raid the baggage team coming from Shuofang City. This will also cause certain obstacles to us and shake the morale of our army."
When there is little hope for a sneak attack and assassination, cutting off food and grass is also a way.
Now all the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are fighting with Aries City as the center, and all the grain and grass they need are transported from Shuofang City.
After Yang Zhengdao detoured to Baiyang City, he had the opportunity to cut off the food and grass, so it was very possible that he gave up the sneak attack and intercepted the food and grass instead.
After Li Shimin pondered for a moment, he sneered and said: "If he really does this, he will be even more stupid!"
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then nodded after thinking about it carefully: "That's right, with the six thousand men in his hands, he can't cut off the food and fodder for our army of hundreds of thousands. At best, he will only create some obstacles for us, but he himself
, and the soldiers and horses under his command, there will be no chance of survival."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "If he really gives up sneak attacks on us and instead cuts off food and grass, then I will personally take action and send him to see our cousin."
Although Yang Zhengdao's choice to cut off food and grass would only cause a temporary hindrance to the Tang Dynasty, this temporary hindrance would also shake the morale of the army.
So when it's time to take action, take action without any hesitation.
"Your Highness, the thief is about to arrive ten miles outside Aries City. Should I and my brothers continue to watch or should I move back?"
The scout bowed down to ask for instructions at this time.
Li Yuanji did not rush to answer, but asked: "How did you get hurt?"
Compared with other scouts, the scout team members are obviously stronger. They may not be as good as many people in terms of martial arts and wisdom, but they are better than many people in spying on intelligence and escaping, even better than some generals in the army, so they can
Not many people hurt him.
And now that he is injured, it means that the opponent's army has good players who are not inferior to him.
"It's a marksman!"
The scout answered without hesitation.
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment and said: "Yang Zhengdao, a guest living in Turks, can actually recruit Turks' sharpshooters?"
You know, whenever new marksmen appear in the Turks, people like Jieli, Sunisu, and Ashina Simo will personally recruit them and promise huge profits.
In this case, Yang Zhengdao is a foreigner and a guest, so the chance of recruiting a sharpshooter is almost zero.
It's a miracle that Yang Zhengdao can be recruited like this.
Without waiting for the scout to reply, Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "If this is the case, then you can take your brothers back. Now that Yang Zhengdao and his party have arrived at the city, there is no need for you to spy anymore."
The scout solemnly clasped his fists and was about to agree. At this time, Li Shimin suddenly said: "It's better to go to Xue Wanche's side. You won't be able to play a big role back in the city now. It will be easier to make achievements if you go to Xue Wanche's side."
The scout was stunned for a moment and did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked at Li Yuanji and waited for Li Yuanji's order.
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "My second brother is right, you just go to Xue Wanche's place!"
