Qin Qiong entered the tent, bowed her hands to Wang Can, and then sat down.
Wang Can smiled and said: "General Qin has come in person, what's the important matter?"
Qin Qiong said: "Brother Yaowang can just call me by my cousin. I came to visit Brother Yaowang this time mainly because I want to talk to Brother Yaowang about the battle with the Shu army."
Wang Can said: "I would like to hear the details!"
Qin Qiong took the initiative and said: "We have 50,000 Shu troops stationed at the junction of Luyang County and Guanzhong. We have 60,000 elite soldiers on our side. Now the Shu Kingdom occupies Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Yizhou, whether it is sources of troops or food and grass
, he is indispensable. Especially Wang Can, who has recruited Liu Bang’s civil servants and generals, and his strength has greatly increased."
"If we have a head-on confrontation with the Shu army and fight head-on, I'm afraid it won't do us any good."
"In this battle, I don't plan to attack by force."
"To win, you must win by surprise."
Qin Qiong said seriously: "It's just that under the current situation, I have been thinking about it, and there is no way to win by surprise. I wonder, does Brother Yao Wang have any strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Wang Can shook his head and said: "With the current military strength, it is not easy to win by surprise. After all, the Shu army guarding the border is also the elite of Shu."
"During the journey from Xiangyang to Luyang County, I was also thinking about strategies to defeat the enemy. I thought it would be extremely difficult to defeat Wang Can, especially if the attack starts from Guanzhong."
"The only way is to find allies."
"Please ask the emperor to send envoys, or ask the Qin Dynasty in the north to send troops to contain Wang Can. Or let the Mongols on the grassland go to Bingzhou to contain Wang Can."
"In this way, we have a chance to win."
Wang Can continued: "Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to fight the Shu army with the emperor's power alone. The most important thing is that if we enter Guanzhong in the north, the terrain will become flat and the cavalry will become the main force. However, Datang
There are very few cavalry in the territory, and they are even more scarce. If we attack Guanzhong, it will be equivalent to using our own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths, which is not a wise choice."
Qin Qiong praised: "What Brother Yaowang said is true."
He agreed with Wang Can's analysis.
In fact, Qin Qiong was also thinking about ways to defeat the enemy, but he thought hard for a long time and still couldn't find a solution.
After all, it's not easy to attack by force.
In the current situation, the best way is to unite to defeat the enemy.
This is Qin Qiong's consideration.
Unexpectedly, Wang Can's considerations coincided with his, and they were all preparing to jointly attack Shu.
Seeing that Qin Qiong agreed, Wang Can paused briefly and continued: "However, if we can find the granary where the Shu army stores food, that would be a good idea. If we confront the Shu army and secretly burn its granary, then we must defeat the opponent.
It will be easy."
Qin Qiong smiled bitterly and said: "This method is feasible. However, it is not easy to implement."
Wang Can said: "It's not easy to say, but it's actually easy."
Qin Qiong suddenly became interested and said: "Brother Yaowang, what's the plan?"
Wang Can said: "Before the great changes in the world, although personal martial arts were powerful, their strength was limited. But under current circumstances, personal martial arts are already extremely powerful."
"It's not difficult to hide your whereabouts and sneak into the Shu army's camp quietly."
"As long as you touch it, you will have a chance to obtain the location where the other party's food and grass are stationed."
"When I was at Dingxiang Tower in Xiangyang, I had a confidante. She was good at seduction and could control people. I guess there must be someone under the emperor's command who has outstanding mental power and can control people's hearts."
"As long as there is such a person, it is not difficult to find out the granary."
Wang Can continued: "However, using mental power to control people, if you are not careful, may lead to backlash. Furthermore, it is not easy to sneak into the Shu army's camp and find generals who understand the situation."
Qin Qiong's eyes were bright and he said: "This is a feasible strategy."
He immediately stood up and said: "Brother Yaowang, let's go to see the emperor together."
"good!"
Wang Can nodded in agreement.
After the two people left the camp, not long after, they arrived at Li Shimin's Chinese army tent.
Li Shimin saw Wang Can and Qin Qiong and asked, "Brother Yao Wang and Shu Bao are here, what's going on?"
Qin Qiong immediately told Wang Can his plan.
Prepare to sneak into the Shu army camp and control the generals in the Shu army to find out the location of the opponent's granary.
After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he said: "Your Majesty, in our army, Brother Yaowang's martial arts skills have already reached the level of a saint. After Wei Chen's martial arts breakthrough, he is also pretty good. Wei Chen remembers that Mr. Li Shentong has martial arts skills and supernatural powers.
, in terms of spiritual strength, he has already become a saint, can you please ask Prince Li to take action?"
Li Shentong was a member of the Tang clan, and his martial arts and ability to lead troops were both top-notch.
He performed meritorious deeds and was named King of Huai'an.
Among the clans of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shentong was the well-deserved leader. After Li Shimin came to the throne, he also entrusted Li Shentong with important responsibilities because Li Shentong could control the clan and prevent the clan members from rash actions.
Li Shimin frowned slightly when he heard Qin Qiong's words.
Today, Li Shentong is already over fifty years old, which is quite old. It is not an easy task to ask Li Shentong to take action. Furthermore, Li Shentong is also old and rarely participates in government affairs or even interferes with military affairs.
Wang Can smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, you don't actually need to be able to control people. After sneaking into the Shu army, you can just kidnap a person. After you bring the person back, you can interrogate him strictly."
"inappropriate!"
Li Shimin shook his head directly.
If you kidnap someone at random, what if the person you bring back doesn't know the location of the granary?
Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
After Li Shimin thought about it, he did not express his position immediately. He immediately arranged for people to invite Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to discuss the matter.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were Li Shimin's right-hand men.
They are all Li Shimin's advisers.
The two men accompanied Li Shimin on the expedition and were responsible for making suggestions.
Changsun Wuji stayed in the middle of the court and was responsible for stabilizing the situation in the court. After all, the prince was in charge of the country, and Li Shimin was not particularly reassured, so he needed someone to guard the rear.
After a while, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came.
After the two entered, after hearing Qin Qiong's plan, Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "Although this plan has certain feasibility, it is not easy to sneak into the Shu army's camp because of the many dangers."
Qin Qiong said confidently: "Sneaking in is actually not difficult. Both me and Brother Yao Wang can easily enter."
Fang Xuanling nodded and said no more.
Du Ruhui said: "We might as well give it a try. After all, we are stationed on the front line of Lushan Mountain, and the Shu army is on the northern border of Luyang County. It is not easy to attack by force."
When Li Shimin saw Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they no longer objected and felt relieved.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Then we will postpone the action. I will arrange for people to return to Xiangyang first and ask Uncle Wang to go north. But Uncle Wang is already semi-reclusive now, and I don't know if he will come out of the mountain."
Qin Qiong said: "The king of Huai'an knows the general situation and is more concerned about the country. He will definitely come out of the mountain."
Wang Can said: "The rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty are all tied to this battle. As the royal master, King Huai'an should set an example. The emperor personally sent someone to deliver the message, and the old prince will definitely come out."
The rest of the people agreed one after another.
Li Shimin immediately wrote a letter, stamped it with a seal, and arranged for people to go south. After the plan was finalized, Li Shimin and everyone discussed the detailed arrangements for the war before they retreated.
Wang Can returned to the camp and prepared to inform the Shu army.
Now, he wanted to infiltrate and arrest the generals of the Shu Kingdom in order to find out the news. Under such circumstances, Wang Can had to pass on the news in advance and let people know about it before he could respond.
Otherwise, the Shu army will easily suffer losses.
After Wang Can finished writing the letter, he did not leave the camp for the time being. In the evening, he went to the location of the military hut. On the way back, he took advantage of the darkness to reach the edge of the camp and buried the letter in the ground.
Made a mark.
This location was his designated contact point.
Specifically used to deliver messages.
The message sent by Wang Can was also encrypted. Without a corresponding set of code books, it would be impossible to translate the contents of the letter.
Such a password is simple, but not easy to decipher.
Wang Can returned to the camp and left it alone.
It was late at night, everything inside and outside the military camp had calmed down, the surroundings were quiet, and there was no sound at all.
Near the contact point set by Wang Can, a figure quietly came out, then went to the location where Wang Can left the letter, quickly took out the letter, and left quietly.
These are people under Wang Yue's command.
He follows Wang Can specifically and is responsible for delivering news for Wang Can.
After receiving the news, the sentinel quickly left Lushan and headed for the border of Luyang County. When he arrived at the border, he quickly came outside the camp where the Shu army was stationed and asked someone to inform him to see him.
In the Shu army, the commander-in-chief was Huang Zhong.
Today, Huang Zhong's hair is almost jet black, his energy and blood are strong, and his strength is extremely strong. Huang Zhong serves as the commander-in-chief of the army, while Guo Jia and Zhang Liang serve as the left and right strategists of the army, assisting Huang Zhong in guarding this place.
It was already late at night, and Huang Zhong had already gone to bed.
He got the news from the soldiers and learned that there was a letter from Wang Can, so he quickly dressed and got up.
He summoned the sentinels in the Chinese army's tent.
After receiving the news from the sentry, Huang Zhong showed a thoughtful look on his face after reading it. After thinking for a moment, he asked the sentry to retreat and sent someone to call Guo Jia and Zhang Liang.
Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Commander Guo, Commander Zhang, and the Supreme Emperor have sent letters, saying that Li Shimin has made a plan, and that the Supreme Emperor, Qin Qiong, and Li Shentong will work together to hide in the army."
"Their purpose is to find the generals in the army and use the secret method to ask about the location of our granary. Most of the generals know the location of our granary."
"Under such circumstances, it may be very difficult if no arrangements are made in advance."
Huang Zhong's eyes were sharp and he said: "Two military advisors, do you have any plans for this?"
Whether it's Guo Jia or Zhang Liang, they all have secret methods.
Both of them now have martial arts skills.
It is impossible to control two people, but many other generals in the army cannot support it. (To be continued)
