Lin Jue's voice was low and hoarse. He continued: "If I were Guo Xu, I would not let things end like this. I would try every means to make up for it. How to make up for it? Letting go of Hai Dongqing is a
The solution is to simply make the situation worse, let Hai Dongqing escape with his soldiers and horses, and give him a hope of regrouping. Force him to break out of the encirclement and let him fight to the death with the King of Jin. If Hai Dongqing can coerce Jingdongxi,
As die-hard believers from other state capitals come west, we can only be forced to fight. The dying beast must be extremely ferocious, and this battle is extremely dangerous. If we lose, all the previous achievements will be in vain. Maybe in Guo
In Xu's heart, it would be best for King Jin to be killed by Hai Dongqing, and then it would be over. Even if King Jin did not die, he would not only bear the reputation of defeat, but also bear the huge fault of allowing the bandits to break out and escape. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A big opportunity to turn the situation around, if you were Guo Xu, would you choose to do this?"
Guo Kun was stunned. The scene described by Lin Jue was extremely frightening. This plan was also so vicious that it made people crawl all over and felt the most terrifying fear in their hearts. Guo Kun never imagined it.
There is actually such a design in this, which is something that his pampered mind would never have considered.
"He...he...Guo Xu dares to do this? This is...risking the world's disapproval. Does he have such courage? He...will he do this?" Guo Kun stammered.
Lin Jue looked at him and sneered. Guo Kun was still too naive, or too incompetent. So he couldn't succeed because he was not decisive and vicious enough. So like his father, he only dared to think in his heart, but
They don't dare to take action. In other words, they don't have any action plan at all.
"I said, the reward behind the scenes is the country and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is worth gambling with everything. If he doesn't gamble, he will be further and further away from the throne of the prince. To reverse the situation, he must make a decisive move
Okay, we must do whatever it takes. Although I don’t know much about Guo Xu, my limited contact with him gives me some impressions of him, and he can definitely do it," Lin Jue said.
"You...are you just speculating? You are not sure that he will do this, are you?" Guo Kun swallowed his foam and said.
"Nothing can be 100% certain, but my words are not imaginary. I thought of all this when you told me that Yingtian City was broken, but Hai Dongqing ran away under his nose. Hai
Dong Qing didn't break out of the encirclement and ran away, but Guo Xu deliberately let him run away. Guo Xu should have already thought in his heart that conquering Yingtian Mansion was not enough to save the situation that was unfavorable to him. He had already been taken advantage of by King Jin.
He could have sent cavalry to chase him. Can Hai Dongqing's men and horses withstand the pursuit of thousands of cavalry? He didn't do that. I think he has decided to take this path." Lin Jue said softly.
Guo Kun picked up the wine jar and drank several sips. The wine dripped down and soaked his clothes. He gasped and swallowed, holding on to the table and said: "B*tch, this b*tch is really good."
Dare to do this. This bitch is so audacious. We have to expose him, we can't let him do this. By the way, he won't attack? If Hai Dongqing attacks us, won't he also be able to escape suspicion?"
Lin Jue sneered and said: "Brother, isn't this simple? Of course he can attack. But he will advance without attacking, and slowly force Haidongqing towards us step by step. He will make an offensive gesture, but maybe
He will arrive a step too late, and he will arrive with his army only after we are all finished. These things are too easy to operate."
Guo Kun stretched his neck and said: "Then we don't want to be fools. Let's seize the time to return to the court, and we don't care. We don't want to be taken advantage of."
Lin Jue laughed loudly. He was speechless at Guo Kun's naivety.
"If we can leave, what else can we say? Just wait and see, the imperial court will send orders, asking us to stick to this place and cooperate with Guo Xu to exterminate the religious bandits. How can we be allowed to withdraw if the religious bandits on the east and west roads of Beijing have not been completely wiped out?
?Besides, are you willing to see the leader of the religious bandits marching westward and escaping? That is irresponsible to the country and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Guo Xu is probably eager for us to do this. In that case, a big hat will be taken off.
The responsibility for the failure of the bandit suppression rests entirely with King Jin and us."
Guo Kun was also quick-talking. In fact, he didn't know that without the order of the imperial court, they could not return to the imperial court. He sat there for a long time, frowned and thought for a long time, and whispered: "Lin Jue, it seems that we are in extreme danger."
In the situation? If Hai Dongqing really wants to break out, he will fight to the death with us. If Guo Xucheng wants us to die, he will not rescue us. What do we do now?"
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "For today's plan, the only way is to prepare early. I suggest you immediately order the troops to assemble and prepare for the battle in advance. All materials, food, grass, weapons, etc. must be fully prepared. Find someone who can match us."
Fight him in a favorable place. I hope we judge the gentleman with a villain's heart. It's fine if Guo Xu doesn't do this. If he really has such an idea, we don't mind taking down Hai Dongqing and putting this
Thank you for your great contribution."
Guo Kun said with joy: "You mean, you are sure to win? Didn't you just say that we will be in big trouble this time? You also said that the Haidong Youth Association is holding tens of thousands of religious bandits or even more. People like us...
…Can it be done?”
Lin Jue said: "As long as we are properly prepared, how can our nine-thousand-strong army be afraid of that rabble? The premise of what I said before is that Haidongqing coerced the religious bandits to suddenly attack, leaving us unprepared. But if we are fully prepared,
Why are we afraid that he will come? The timing is with me, because now we are not in a hurry, what is anxious is Hai Dongqing. The people are with me, our morale is high now, the power of the recent victory is still there, and our morale is strong. What we lack now is the favorable location.
We cannot give up the five counties and retreat to Yangwu County, which is a good geographical location. The five county cities are not enough to serve as a defensive barrier, so the top priority is to find a strong city that can be resisted, which can not only rely on its defense, but also be an enemy.
It’s the only way to the west, so if the time, place, people and people are all right, what else do you have to worry about?”
Guo Kun smacked his lips and said, "Then where should we choose? You already said we can't return to Yangwu."
Lin Jue said: "Xingren Mansion is a good choice. Its geographical location is right at the key point between the five counties in the north of Beijing and the East and West Road in Beijing. After the road to the south is blocked, the bandits can only go through Xingren Mansion if they want to break through to the west.
. This is the first. The second is that Xingrenfu Road is still in the hands of the Zhou Dynasty. Xingrenfu is the only state capital on the East and West Road of Beijing that has not fallen. This shows that the Guangji Army stationed in Xingrenfu is
Those with combat effectiveness, although their number is only more than 5,000, and probably less than 3,000 at this moment, but this shows that the officials of Xingren Mansion and the leading generals of the army have not compromised. They can persevere even when they are surrounded by religious bandits.
Xingren Mansion was not lost, which shows that the city is strong and the top and bottom are working hard. If our army enters Xingren Mansion in advance, we can join forces with Guangji Army to defend the city. Blocking Haidongqing's path is by no means an extravagant hope."
Guo Kun clapped his hands and said: "Yes, Xingren Mansion has never been captured by the religious bandits. This means that its city walls are high enough to resist defense. Isn't this a favorable location? But... let's station in Xingren Mansion...
...The imperial court did not issue an edict. If we do this, Guo Xu will definitely not agree. That is the boundary between the East and West Roads in Beijing."
Lin Jue said: "We should follow the original plan and gather our troops in Yuwanting County, which is only half a day away from Xingren Mansion. In this way, we can enter Xingren Mansion at any time. If Haidongqing wants to come west, he must first capture Xingren
As soon as Xingren Prefecture is attacked, they will ask us for help, and we can justifiably enter Xingren Prefecture. If none of these things happen, we will not be left with an excuse. In addition, Guo Xu is smart
Man, once we enter Xingren Mansion, I am afraid he will immediately understand that we have seen through his intentions, and instead alert the snake. He wants to do such dirty things, we might as well let him do it and teach him to pay for everything. Not only will he not have the chance to win the first battle,
In the end, even the credit for capturing the bandit leader was not his. This is called taking advantage of the situation and making him lose all his money."
Guo Kun looked at Lin Jue blankly for a while and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, it seems that you support King Jin to become the prince. Judging from your tone and arrangement, you are going to make great efforts for King Jin to become the prince.
"
Lin Jue smiled slightly and said: "I don't take sides. Whoever sits on the throne of the prince has nothing to do with me. But although Guo Xu is dealing with the King of Jin, it will inevitably affect you and me. I can't pretend to be stupid and wait to die.
.I am trying to save myself. I have no friendship with King Jin and King Huai, but now we are in the same boat with King Jin. He failed and we are all unlucky, so I can only do this. Don’t think that I
It’s because of the prince’s position.”
Guo Kun nodded and said: "I understand, but I can tell you the truth, I support King Jin. If King Huai becomes the prince, my father and I will have no place to live in the future."
How could Lin Jue not understand what Guo Kun meant? Guo Xu is the grandson of Lu Zhongtian. Lu Zhongtian and Guo Bing are hostile to each other. If Guo Xu becomes the emperor, that is not what Guo Bing and Guo Kun want to see. In fact, according to this logic
To reason, Lin Jue should also be on the side of the King of Jin. However, Lin Jue has the shadow of his previous life. The fight for the crown prince's position led to the annihilation of more than a hundred members of the Lin family in his previous life. Lin Jue naturally avoided it instinctively.
Make a choice in this matter.
"Should we report this matter to the King of Jin? Otherwise, he would think he could rest easy. We also need to let him know that we are sharing his worries." Guo Kun asked.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "Don't talk about it. King Jin can't hide things, so don't let the news leak. After all, everything so far is just speculation. If it goes out, wouldn't it be our fault? Besides, even if King Jin knows about it,
, so what can we do? What can we do except cause panic? Let him happily stay in the dark. When things really develop like this, he will naturally understand."
Guo Kun nodded and said, "What you are saying is that I will send someone tomorrow to order the soldiers and horses from the two northern counties to gather at Wanting immediately. There should be no problem in arriving within three days."
Lin Jue said: "There's no need to be too hasty. Haidongqing needs time, and Guo Xu will give him time. It shouldn't happen within ten days. But we need to use these ten days to replenish more food and supplies. Also, it's best
I can meet with the officials of Xingren Mansion and talk things over, so as not to go wrong in the future. In short, everything must be thought out thoughtfully and meticulously, and not in a big way. Let Hai Dongqing bump into an iron plate, and let Guo Xu
