The defense situation of Longmen, Puban, Fenling, Maojin and other ferry crossings, including the number of Wei troops and who will be the general, as well as the current situation of Anyi and Pingyang, the city defense situation, and grain transportation channels are all drawn on the map.
This was drawn in a hurry by Li Shiqi when he was resting his horse in a pavilion and drinking water. If it is true as he said, everything in Hedong is in his mind...
Heifu put down the sketch and looked at the old man Li Shiqi, who had a red nose and smelled of alcohol in his mouth five steps away. After thinking about it for a long time, he still only thought that this person's name was familiar, but he still wanted to know the details.
If he doesn't get up, he's probably a famous person.
"Sir, since you are from Wei, why did you abandon Wei and join me?"
Li Shi's face was filled with intoxication. He stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "First, Qin is strong and Wei is weak. Wei's fall only took place within a year and a half. A person like Lao Chan who is greedy for wealth and fear of death will naturally
Only strength is dependence."
"Secondly, although Wei Bao is the king of Wei, he is actually a puppet. Although Zhang Er is known as the Prime Minister of Wei, he was just a county knight in the past. He had a false name but no real talent. He was incapable of governing the country. He was in charge of the army and the people, and he only relied on chivalry.
Qi, abolished laws and regulations, persecuted Qin officials, and relied only on local knights and heroes to serve as officials. There was no law and it was difficult to collect taxes, making Dongjun, Hanoi, and Hedong a mess. From this point of view, it is just a pile of dead bones in a tomb.
."
"As far as I can see, in this world, only Duke Xia is the real hero who can bring peace to troubled times!"
He raised his head, looked at Mr. Hei, and after carefully identifying him, he said: "To be honest, Mr. Xia, I met Mr. Xia twice as early as more than ten years ago."
"Oh? I don't think Mr. Xiang is kind." Heifu boasts that he has a good memory. He can recognize Old Liu on the streets of Xianyang even if he has only met him once, let alone a man with a bright personality like Li Shiqi.
There should be an impression.
"That was seventeen years ago."
Li Shiqi said: "The first time was when Wang Ben led his army to destroy Wei and surrounded Daliang, and sent a partial army to the east to seize the territory. After wiping out a group of light knights who resisted and captured Chenliu County, Qin soldiers entered the city. At that time, Duke Xia
He was in the queue, while the old man and his younger brother Li Shang were watching by the roadside..."
"A few months later, the city of Daliang collapsed and the Wei Kingdom was destroyed. The troops stationed in Wei went south and passed through Chenliu. I and my brother met Duke Xia again."
At that time, Li Shiqi had already become the prison guard, and his younger brother was working as a porter and carrying things for these Qin soldiers. This group of people spoke with Nanjun accents, and they saw a black-faced Qin official inside who looked familiar, except for the top of his head.
The right bun on the top has been replaced by a long single-piece crown...
"In a few months, Xia Gong came from the hairpin to become a doctor."
"In the past seventeen years, Xia Gong relied solely on his merits and great victories. He rose from a small position to a regent who carried out the country's destiny. He carried out the affairs of the emperor and held the reins of the world. In Wuchang's first righteousness, he used the weak to overcome the superior and the weak to the strong.
, isn’t he a hero? How can he be compared to a trickster like Zhang Er who hid in Huaiyang for more than ten years and finally took advantage of the big wave caused by Xia Gong’s righteousness to show off his power for a while? "
Hei Fu nodded: "I see, I don't know that I have such a connection with you, and I am really destined to meet you."
Not that I didn't know it, but time flew by and it was actually seventeen or eighteen years ago, and even the chronology of the First Emperor had changed.
And the era with him as the protagonist has begun...
Li Shiqi paid homage to him again and said: "A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve. If you encounter a troublesome master and miss him, you are not a husband."
He held out a third finger: "There is also a third point. The regent knows people well and appoints them well. Chen Ping from Wei was originally a Bai Ding, but now he is ranked as the ninth minister. He is willing to die for the regent. The scholars of Wei want to imitate him.
I don’t know how many times Chen Ping came to join the regent."
Heifu smiled and said: "But you are the only one who dares to risk your life, cross the river, and be the first to surrender."
Li Shiqi showed his trump card: "I am not just an old man. Xiang Ji transferred the east of Chenliu to the Chu State. My brother is the county magistrate in Yongqiu and has thousands of young men under his command. If Xia Gong goes eastward, he will definitely be able to
response!"
"And the heroes of Wei, such as Fu Kuan from Hengyang, Jin She from Yuanju, Chen Xi from Wanqu, etc., are all now county magistrates of Wei, and they have established separate territories in the Shangqiu and Taoqiu areas. The old man once used the help of Wei officials
The name was given to King Bao of Wei who went to tell him to accept the seal of Wei and talked to him about the heroes of the world, and he was also quite convinced by the regent!"
Li Shiqi was really prepared and gave Heifu a big gift. Although Heifu had a lobbyist like Sui He under his command, if the lobbyist was familiar with the target person, the success rate would be higher.
Greatly improved, in the future when the army marches eastward, relying on Li Shiqi's network of connections and his sharp tongue, he might be able to persuade many heroes from Guandong to turn against him...
But the food is still being eaten, and the cadre team has just begun to be rebuilt. Heifu does not want to be like the first emperor who suddenly destroyed the six kingdoms, able to unite but not be able to unite...
This winter, his target is only Hedong and other places.
"Let's talk about the situation in Hedong."
He also happened to be taking an exam to see if Li Shiqi, apart from being a talker, had any real skills.
"The river is connected to Shangdang in the east, and the big river is bounded in the west. It connects Shaanxi and Luo in the south, and blocks Taiyuan in the north. The cloud scenery described by Confucius is regarded as the city scenery by Huo, and Taiye is called Huoshan, Fen, river, Shu, Hui as abyss, and Zifu
The so-called rivers and mountains outside and inside."
"The administrative seat of Hedong is Anyi. The strategist Zeng Yun said that Anyi was the pillar state of Wei; Jinyang was the pillar state of Zhao; Yanying was the pillar state of Chu. Therefore, the three kingdoms wanted to establish a border with Qin, so Qin conquered Wei and took it.
Anyi, attack Zhao and capture Jinyang, attack Chu and capture Yanying."
"Wei will be weak if it loses the east of the river. The Duke of Xia can block the Zhiguan Road in the east, and gain the power of King Zhaoxiang of Qin to defeat Zhao and Wei! With the people from the east of the river, occupy the city of Anyi and Pingyang, and eat the accumulated grains, and wait for one to be dispatched in the future.
The general crossed Taihang and attacked Hanoi and Dongjun, completely annihilating the Wei state and cutting off the backbone of Shandong! The regent came out of Hangu and took over the territory of two weeks. He raised the Han family to seize the land and captured half of the world, Chu and Zhao.
The generals of the country fight on their own, and no harm can be done to those below you!"
In terms of grand strategy, this is actually similar to the strategy proposed by Han Xin, but if it is to be realized, it must be won through war.
Heifu asked: "Who is the general of the Wei army east of Hedong? Isn't it Zhang Er?"
Zhang Er was defeated by Yang Xiong in his early years outside Huang. It can be seen from that battle that he has no talent for running an army. If he was hot-headed and decided to become a general, he would laugh out of his dreams.
"General Uncle Zhou."
Heifu had never heard of it: "Who is this?"
Li Shiqi said: "I was originally an old official of Wei State, but now I am reorganizing the military soldiers for King Bao of Wei..."
Hei Fu shook his head: "Many years ago, the last Wei soldiers were killed by me in Wei!"
Heifu still remembers Zhou Shi, the veteran who rushed out of the forest to attack them, his bravery and persistence, and his hearty laughter before he died.
That is a respectable opponent.
But the backbone of the soldiers has long been completely broken by repeated attacks. Even if the name of such an army is resurrected, the spirit will never be restored...
He asked again: "Where is the general?"
"Zhao Gao's younger brother, Zhao Cheng."
Heifu couldn't help but laugh: "Zhao Cheng, like Zhang Er, has a sworn hatred with me. But he is fine as a Langguan, commanding the army in battle, regardless of his ability. Uncle Zhou and other Wei who fought alongside him
Can people trust Zhao Cheng? Where is the cavalry general?"
"The cavalry commander said Bai Zhi."
"Who is this?" No wonder Heifu, the other party is too unknown, and the person Ji Ying sent to collect intelligence has not returned yet.
Li Shiqi said: "The son of Zhang'er's disciples, his mouth smells like milk, he is good at riding horses, and he can use a long halberd."
"If you can ride a horse and you can be a cavalry commander, then wouldn't all the good men in the North under my command be qualified?"
Heifu was relieved. None of these people together could be Han Xin or Guan Ying's opponent. What's more, Heifu had just established the general staff to collect intelligence for Han Xin and arrange details to make sure everything was flawless.
The official position given to Li Shiqi by Heifu was also a "Youshi" in the Winged Camp. He was mainly responsible for serving traitors, making friends, watching the enemy, and thinking of him as a spy, so he became the leader of the tour.
Li Shiqi asked for orders again: "Zhang Er and Uncle Zhou's officials have deep ditches and high bases to transport grain and armor. They want to guard Puban and other ferries, but they cannot easily cross. However, the old man and many Wei army commanders, commanders, and county magistrates know each other.
, you can cross the river again to persuade him to surrender and join forces with Duke Xia!"
"You used to be a senior official in Wei?"
"yes."
Hei Fu said to his attendant: "Let me make a set of clothes for the five great officers."
The fifth doctor, equivalent to the senior doctor in Wei, was considered to be a two-level promotion for Li Shiqi. He was the first Wei scholar to surrender, and he had to play the role of horse bones.
Heifu also set KPIs for Li Shiqi's work.
"If you can get a county magistrate or a commander to surrender for me, you can be promoted to a higher level!"
Li Shiqi laughed and said: "If I can say that I can command thirty or forty thousand Wei troops, how can more than ten counties in the east of Hedong all turn against us?"
Although he knew it was impossible, Hei Fu was not stingy at all: "Then, if you advance ten levels in a row and become a concubine, you will be granted the title of Marquis if you perform meritorious service in the future!"
Li Shiqi's eyes lit up: "Although I am old, I am greedy. I don't like the little silkworms that eat mulberry leaves inch by inch, but I long for the snakes that swallow the giant elephants in one bite."
"If I say that I have a plan in my mind that can make Duke Xia do half the job with twice the result, and defeat the troops of Guandong without a fight, if Duke Xia implements it, he will be able to make the six kings submit again in just half a year. Dare I ask?
Who should I be?"
Heifu said: "If this can be done, how can I be stingy about the title? Tell me what you can do?"
Li Shiqi then said: "In the past, Tang defeated Jie and sealed his successor in Qi. King Wu defeated Zhou and sealed his successor in Song Dynasty. In the past, the first emperor of Qin abandoned his righteousness, invaded the princes and the state, and after destroying the six kingdoms, there was no place to stand. Now Chu
, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan were restored to their kingdoms, but they were either emptied out by powerful ministers, or they were not orthodox successors."
For example, in the so-called Qi State, Peng Yue was in power, in the Chu State, the Xiang family was in power, and in the Wei State, Zhang Er had the final say. The Zhao State was slightly better, but the power was also in the hands of Lu Goujian and Li Zuoche.
in human hands.
"I have traveled around the country this year and discovered that it is Xiang Ji, Lu Goujian, Zhang Er and other generals and ministers who want to resist the regent to the end, rather than the six kings themselves. They have no great ambitions and just want to restore the country.
It’s just the wealth of the past…”
"After seizing Hedong and intimidating the world, if Xia Gong can agree to let the six kingdoms revive in the world, each retaining a county as a fiefdom, and then I will grant him the king's seal and alienate the relationship between him and the general, the six kings will be willing to submit to the regent.
"
"Xiang Ji, Zhang Er and others will lose their support and will be defeated! Afterwards, the monarchs, ministers and people of the six countries all wear the virtue of regent. They all admire the country custom and are willing to become ministers and concubines. They will submit to Xianyang and invite them to court. Virtue and justice have been done.
If you become the regent, you can proclaim yourself emperor in Nanxiang and dominate the world!"
