The matter is not complicated at all. It is just a stalemate in the situation at hand, and we use the opportunity to break the situation and attract the troops from the North to attack the East China Sea.
Since it's so simple, Hong Lao hasn't thought of it for a long time. It's not that his mind is much weaker than He's, the key is a matter of vision.
Hong Liao's vision was limited to the south of the Yangtze River, and he thought about it. Although he tried his best, he couldn't find a way to defeat the enemy. But He's eyes were on the whole world. He saw farther and thought more. So he could think of things that Hong Liao couldn't think of.
Method.
After all, I have worked beside Cheng Dalei, and I have learned something from Cheng Dalei. Whenever there is a big event, I have to think about it thousands of times and deduce it many times in my mind.
Hong Liao had to put away the contempt in his heart and said: "The method is feasible, but it may be difficult to actually implement it."
He shook his head: "Everything here is decided by the marshal. I can just say something casually, but it is still up to the marshal to control it."
He Xin said: Nonsense, I have already pointed out the way, how to go, am I still going to carry you on my back?
Hong Liao thought seriously for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm tired of traveling with you, so you should take a good rest first. I'm tired of my work, sir. It's not too late to discuss some things tomorrow."
He said goodbye and left. He indeed had many things to deal with. When he first arrived, he had to take over the frontline affairs immediately so as not to make himself confused.
After Zai and left, the smile on Hong's face slowly disappeared, and a strong gloom came into his eyes.
His right hand was clenched, the veins were exposed, and the expression on his face was a bit ferocious.
It is hard to believe that he is the first military advisor under Li Xing, who is casual, gentle and courteous.
He worshiped Guo Fan as his teacher since he was a child, and later followed Qingye Buddha. They are all great masters in the world. Hong Liao was his teacher before and after him, and he naturally taught everything he learned to him.
He had such an opportunity at a young age. After he was born, he wanted to do something big.
But the process was far from smooth. He went to join Cheng Dalei at first, but was kicked out by Cheng Dalei. It was a great shame and humiliation. Later, when he gained a foothold in Jiangnan, his career was smooth, and he soon became the number one military advisor in Jiangnan.
Nai He has never had a chance to prove his worth, so it is inevitable that there will be some rumors. According to Hong Liao's thinking, he just hasn't had a chance to show his strength, but if he has a chance, he will definitely silence those messy voices.
However, he and Li Xingzai had been confronting each other for a long time, but there was no way to defeat the enemy. He had just arrived here and had a chance to win with just a few words.
Maybe it's not that I don't have the right opportunities, it's probably that I'm really inferior.
After all, I have a young mind. I am allowed to be stronger than others, but others are not allowed to be stronger than me.
At the moment, there is more or less hostility towards He in my heart. The embarrassing thing is that if I do it according to He's method, I am really not willing to do it. But if I don't do what he says, there is really no way to defeat the enemy.
…
The confrontation between the two places made it difficult for Hong and Li Xingzai even more.
The two armies had been in a stalemate for a month or two. Li Xingzai took charge of the situation and mobilized the three armies. He used his only bargaining chip to win the bet with Jiangnan.
The subordinates gathered together, each had their own discussions, and discussed how to deal with it. However, there was a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, and everyone was thinking hard about the situation in such a clear-cut situation.
Song Youqu had just returned from Jiangnan and was reporting the experience of his trip to Li Xingzai in the teahouse.
After seeing Li Xingzai, he knelt down, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and paid homage to His Majesty.
Li Xingzai waved his hand and said: "The emperor's banner is for others to see. We are our own people. There is no need for this. Tell me, how did you see him?"
Li Xingzai had an easy-going temperament and was not rigid about etiquette, but Song Youqu did not dare to show any disrespect.
He described the meeting with He in detail, and finally sighed: "Fortunately, he opened his eyes, otherwise my subordinates' lives would have been lost in Jiangnan."
After hearing this, Li Xingzai frowned, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that he turned out to be a sweet-tempered person. I underestimated him."
"Perhaps he still values the past friendship and why not send someone out again to try his words."
"Love?" Li Xingzai shook his head and sneered: "Your life is worth all the love. If we meet again in the future, we will be unrelenting enemies. You just came back, and you probably don't know that He is already on the front line.
Li Xing ordered him to be in charge of food and grass."
"This..." Song Youqu was surprised: "Li Xing is actually willing to use him so highly. If something like this happens, he dares to give him the responsibility of food and grass."
By sending Song Youqu as a lobbyist, there was no guarantee that He would be able to persuade He, but it was still possible to provoke him. Unexpectedly, Li Xing showed an unprecedented magnanimity. Not only did he not have the slightest suspicion of He, but he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
.
Perhaps, I also underestimated the King of Jiangnan.
To be able to become an emperor in these troubled times, with hundreds of thousands of men under his command, is this an ordinary person.
Li Xingzai shook his head: "He also came to the front line and took charge of the war together with Hong Liao. The presence of two of Li Xing's most powerful think tanks shows that he is determined to win the East China Sea. Hong Liao is young and is not something to be afraid of, but that
He is a real cunning person."
Song Youqu nodded: "No one can underestimate the person who can be regarded as Cheng Dalei's right-hand man."
"Who says it's not true? Now that He is here, I guess they will be mobilized in the next two days. We need to be careful recently. Who knows what trouble He will have."
Song Youqu thought for a while and said, "What method can your Majesty think of?"
Li Xingzai spread his hands and said, "If I had any idea, I wouldn't bother talking to you here. The current situation is very difficult..."
No matter from any angle, Donghai is not enough to challenge Jiangnan, and their strength is not equal at all. Of course Li Xingzai thought about occupying Jiangnan, but he knew his own foundation.
He was forced onto this gambling table to have a huge gamble with Li Xing. Victory would be gratifying, but defeat would result in the loss of everything and a death without a burial place.
Under such a situation, neither army dared to act rashly. Jiangnan may not be able to conquer the East China Sea, and Li Xingzai may not be able to withstand the heavy pressure.
The key is that no one is sure of winning. And once it fails, the consequences will be unbearable by both families.
Because it is important enough, it is prudent enough.
After a long pause, Li Xingzai suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, there is a reply from Liangzhou."
"Oh, what do you say?" Song Youqu's eyes lit up.
"What else can I say? With Cheng Dalei's cunningness, how could he have waded into troubled waters this time? He was just pretending to be confused."
After saying that, Li Xingzai still felt that he still had more to say and cursed fiercely.
