"What does Wang Bai's cavalry have to do with dealing with Li Mu?"
"You must have become drunk after just two glasses of wine!"
Shen Bing twitched the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
Are you kidding, in this day and age, a few glasses of wine with almost no alcohol content can make me drunk?!
A few more kilograms of Erguotou will be fine.
But of course I wouldn’t dare to say that to Yang Ting.
"I wonder if the captain ever remembered the alienation plan mentioned by his subordinates when he persuaded Wang Bai to surrender?" Shen Bing asked.
Yang Ting replied:
"of course I remember."
"Buy the spies of Zhao State to say that Li Mu intends to rebel, and use the King of Zhao to get rid of Li Mu."
Speaking of this, Yang Ting seemed to understand something and asked:
"Are you trying to use this as a divorce tactic?"
"But you also said that when our army approaches the city, both Li Mu and King Zhao will wait until they defeat our army before talking about anything else!"
Shen Bing replied somewhat proudly:
"That's true."
"But we only need to modify this plan slightly."
"It's not okay to say that Li Mu intends to rebel, but..."
Yang Ting and Liu Xu were both anxious and asked in unison: "But what?"
Shen Bing replied: "But what if we say that Li Mu collaborates with the enemy?"
Catkin wonders:
"Collaborating with the enemy? Collaborating with what enemy?"
"Zhao's enemy at this time is us..."
"You mean, Li Mutong is connected with Qin?"
Shen Bing nodded and answered firmly:
"Exactly."
"Rebellion can wait, but Li Mu's collaboration with the enemy cannot wait."
Yang Ting agreed:
"That makes sense."
"Because Li Muruo is a collaborator with the enemy..."
"If King Zhao waits any longer, the Kingdom of Zhao will perish."
"So if King Zhao believed it, even if the two armies were fighting, King Zhao would immediately attack Li Mu!"
After a pause, Yang Ting frowned again and asked:
"But……"
"When our army was approaching Handan, it was Li Mu who turned the tide."
"At this time, they surrounded our main force and attacked our Great Wall, leaving our army unable to fight back."
"How can King Zhao believe that Li Mu is collaborating with the enemy?"
Catkins added:
"Yes, even a three-year-old child doesn't believe it."
Shen Bing shook his head:
"A three-year-old child may not believe it, but then King Zhao may believe it."
Yang Ting asked curiously: "Why?"
LiuXu sarcastically said:
"It's all nonsense. Are you trying to make fun of my master and servant?"
Shen Bing replied calmly:
"First, King Zhao has long had doubts about Li Mu."
"If you have doubts, it will be easy to be fooled, because we are just following the trend."
"This is the prerequisite for this plan to be implemented."
This goes without saying.
The situation in Zhao State is that just one word from Li Mu can pull King Zhao off the throne.
They may even be supported by the military and civilians.
How could this reassure King Zhao?
Therefore, King Zhao was easily and more willing to believe unfavorable remarks about Li Mu.
Seeing that Yang and Liu did not refute, Shen Bing continued:
"The second is that Li Mu attacks our Great Wall."
Yang Ting was puzzled: "How can this be a reason?"
Shen Bing said:
"Li Mu's attack on the Great Wall cannot be used as a reason."
"But Li Mu's tactics of attacking the Great Wall can be used as a reason."
Yang Ting didn't understand it at first, but after a while her eyes lit up:
"You mean..."
"Then Li Mu used his cavalry to attack everywhere. Although he used movement to control silence, he defeated the many with less."
"But King Zhao doesn't think so?"
Shen Bing nodded and replied:
"Exactly."
"Li Mu used the advantage of cavalry maneuvers to attack the natural dangers of our Great Wall, and it was quite effective."
"But in the eyes of outsiders who are not familiar with the art of war, it can also be a vain attempt to delay time."
"Otherwise, why not concentrate our forces and launch a fierce attack?"
"Why can you break through the Great Wall but still wander around the north of the Great Wall?"
"Why should we give up this great opportunity when we can divide our army?"
Yang Ting clapped her hands excitedly:
"Hold on!"
"The King of Zhao is that outsider who is not familiar with the art of war."
"Li Mu will explain it clearly to King Zhao then."
"But if King Zhao has a prejudice against Li Mu, no matter how Li Mu explains it, he will not be able to clear up his doubts."
Shen Bing rubbed his chin, although there were not many beards on it:
"What the captain said is true."
"And the fact is that the Northern Cavalry can break the Great Wall without breaking it, and can win without taking it."
"At that time, Li Mu couldn't explain it even if he had a hundred mouths."
"If Wang Bai is added..."
Yang Ting asked in confusion: "What does Wang Bai have to do with this matter?"
Shen Bing replied with a smile:
"Wang Bai has nothing to do with this matter."
"But we can get him involved in this matter."
…
Yang Ting was even confused by Shen Bing.
Shen Bing explained:
"Wang Bai is Li Mu's most capable general."
"And the two have a very close personal relationship. It is said that Wang Bai even regards Li Mu as his reborn parent."
"So...why couldn't Wang Bai's surrender be the result of Li Mu's instruction?"
Only then did Yang Ting understand. She looked at Shen Bing blankly for a while before sighing:
"rational."
"Li Mu instructed Wang Bai to surrender and negotiate with us."
"The other side pretended to attack the Great Wall."
"What is this if not collaboration with the enemy?"
"But it's a good plan!"
But after a pause, Yang Ting asked again:
"But how can we tell this to King Zhao?"
"Buy the treacherous ministers of Zhao State?"
Yang Ting frowned:
"I'm just afraid there's not enough time."
"And we have no property with us to buy."
This is indeed a big problem. You must know that in history, Qin State spent thousands of taels of gold to bribe Zhao State's treacherous ministers...
Ten thousand taels of gold!
It would take a lot of time and effort to transport this gold to the State of Zhao and deliver it to the treacherous officials without anyone noticing.
At this time, the Qin army's crisis was imminent.
If this continues, I'm afraid that within a few days, when the Zhao infantry arrive at the Qin army, it will be completely over.
However, Shen Bing is full of confidence:
"So we need those two teams of cavalry."
"They are here to deliver a message to King Zhao on our behalf."
Yang Ting suddenly realized:
"We only need to lie to those two groups of cavalry that Li Mu intends to surrender to Qin, and use Wang Bai's letter to persuade him to surrender."
"If the cavalry obeys, they will follow and surrender to Qin."
"If you don't obey, you will definitely run away secretly."
Shen Bing nodded and said:
"That's it!"
"We will pretend to block the news, which will make the cavalry believe it even more."
"After they escape back to Zhao Kingdom, they will definitely inform King Zhao of this matter."
"When……"
There is no need to say more about what follows.
Yang Ting and Liu Xu had nothing to say.
Especially Yang Ting, her heart was filled with turmoil.
This plan can be said to be interlocking and seamless, linking Li Mu, Wang Bai and the cavalry who came to surrender.
Although Li Mu has no intention of collaborating with the enemy, he may never be able to escape the connection once such a contact is made.
After all, Wang Bai was indeed his confidant, and the cavalry was also the Northern Goblin Cavalry under his control.
If there are still letters as evidence...
Yang Ting sighed in her heart:
What kind of person could set up such a plan?
What kind of person has such wisdom?
Yang Ting couldn't even believe that this person standing in front of her was the one she loved...
Wait, who is the ideal person?
They are just close friends!
Yes, just close friends.
that is it.
However, Yang Ting didn't understand why she had to try her best to convince herself...
