As soon as he walked into the temporary tent set up by the Tang army, Li Yuan felt not only a bit of luck, but also a few worries. After all, it was the first time he met a "big shot" after coming to this era, a famous Southern Tang general in history.

pick.

Now his life and death depended on his thoughts, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

He calmed his breathing slightly, and at the same time tried to recall the scenes written in the book, those military advisors touching their long beards and talking. It was a pity that Li Yuan was not wearing a flowing robe, but a cold soldier's armor.

Li Yuanqiang pretended to be calm and bowed down: "I have seen Bian Shuai before!"

A cold and slightly arrogant word: "It's you who said that you have a plan to defeat the enemy and want to offer it to me?"

Strong curiosity made Li Yuan quietly raise his head and take a look. He saw a tall and vigorous middle-aged man sitting in front of the handsome case. Not to mention the majestic armor on his body, just look at him.

The angry look of the tiger head engraved on his chest is very consistent with the sharp gaze under his thick eyebrows. He is indeed a famous general who destroyed two countries!

After hiding his excitement, Li Yuan seemed to have forgotten his fear just now and started thinking wrongly. These days, warriors are in power, and most generals are arrogant and arrogant.

Although Bian Hao gave others the impression of being low-key, calm and Confucian, after the Chu was destroyed, his true nature was exposed. He was immersed in the dream of a feudal official and indulged his subordinates. In the end, he lost the land of Chu in less than a year and became dejected.

He ran back to Southern Tang Dynasty.

There was no shortage of loyal ministers and good generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Bian Hao was definitely not a pure and honest person!

And according to historical records, Bian Hao took on the role of head coach for the first time at this time. He was eager to make contributions and wanted to climb up. He wholeheartedly just wanted to win the battle and show his face in front of the emperor.

In the battle to destroy Chu, the arrival of Langzhou soldiers forced him to stay in place for many days, which shows that he was cautious about winning. This is why Li Yuan was sure that Bian Hao would definitely meet him.

Although you hide it deeply, I can still get to the bottom of it. Li Yuan decided to take a detour first: "Exactly. But the villain is afraid to say it!"

Bian Hao still had the same cold tone: "You claim to offer advice, so why don't you dare?"

If you want to ask that, then I will tell you what you like to hear!

Li Yuan sniffed and immediately showed a trembling look: "Come back to the border commander, you used to defeat the Zhang bandits, conquer southern Fujian, expand the territory, and never failed! You are unparalleled in wisdom and bravery, and you can be called the number one general in the Tang Dynasty! Army

The power is really great, so when the villain comes in front of you, he is a little afraid to do whatever he wants!"

Bian Hao stared at Li Yuan who was bowing his head for a while, and then put on a very impatient expression: "There is no need to say more flattery! If you have any strategies, please tell me quickly! If you have no strategies to offer,

I will definitely punish you for teasing Shangguan!"

But Li Yuan still keenly caught the hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

It is indeed the same in modern times and ancient times! Now that there is a drama, Li Yuan began to show off: "Yes! Return to the commander-in-chief. In recent years, all the horses in the Chu Kingdom have been fighting for seats, and civil strife has continued. The state capital has long been broken, and the people are in dire straits! Ma Xichong usurped the throne of Chu King,

But he doesn't know that he is still the same as his brothers in rebuilding the country and pacifying the people. He only cares about enjoying himself and has lost the hearts of the people in the country! He doesn't understand military affairs, he is too conceited and has no way to control the situation. Otherwise, how could he be so confident?

Two hundred soldiers were sent to escort Ma Xi'e, but all the men and horses were taken away? Now he is trapped in a city in Tanzhou, with the false title of King of Chu, in name only and only to be killed!

As for Ma Xi'e, although he has resurrected, he is already in the sunset. He has no foundation in Hengshan. He is just a pawn in the power struggle in the hands of the commander Liao Yan. The recruits he recruits are all refugee recruits. There are no more than ten thousand people. In a war, it will be inevitable. They dispersed in a flurry, so they cut off the river to build a fence and asked me, the Tang Dynasty, for help. This person is incapable of making plans, so there is no need to worry too much!"

Hearing this, Bian Hao's expression gradually changed. He nodded and looked at Li Yuan, who was dressed as a soldier in front of him. He couldn't help but feel confused: "Well, that's true. Go on!"

After receiving the recognition, Li Yuan immediately raised his head, straightened up as if possessed by a sleeping dragon and a phoenix, and said loudly and confidently: "This villain thinks that the real trouble in Chu State today is not the two kings, but Ma Xihe's." Old troops, soldiers from Langzhou! The Chu State has suffered from wars for many years, but Ma Xihe has worked hard for Langzhou for many years. There are very few wars, the terrain is dangerous, there are many soldiers and enough food! His coach Wu Ping stayed behind, Liu Yan was brave and good at fighting, and he was very popular among his subordinates. There is also Wang Kui, a good general of Zhou Xingfeng's generation! Langzhou Prefecture has always had good relations with the barbarians. Last year, when we in the Tang Dynasty helped Ma Xi'e invade Tanzhou, there were Dongxi barbarians to help in the battle.

Bian Shuai, Liu Yan and others have long been eager to fight for supremacy and have the strength to fight for supremacy. When Ma Xi'e was imprisoned, Langzhou did not send any troops to rescue him, and it can be seen that he just watched him lose the throne. Moreover, Ma Xichong did not express his homage to Ma Xichong, so his intentions must be different! He must be preparing his troops and waiting for the opportunity. As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit! But now that our Tang army has entered Chu, how can they take advantage of the fishermen? Giving up in vain? Therefore, the villain asserts that Langzhou soldiers will go south in this battle!"

Bian Hao was completely convinced by the words of the young man in front of him. The traces of the Langzhou soldiers were the latest information reported by the scouts when the big tent was discussing matters, and he had already ordered the generals to keep it secret.

Li Yuan is just an ordinary pawn, so there must be no way to know it in advance! Could it be that this pawn really has a good plan? Seeing his lucid analysis and shaking his head, Bian Hao was impressed!

Bian Hao was secretly shocked, but at the same time he tried to suppress his excitement and said with a much calmer attitude: "As you expected, the scouts just came to report that the Langzhou soldiers have indeed gone south and have camped twenty miles north of Tanzhou City."

Li Yuan then added fuel to the fire: "Originally, our Tang army wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, and it was already a sure victory. But unexpectedly, the Langzhou soldiers suddenly intervened. I dare to guess, this is also what the frontier commander is worried about, right? "

This sentence struck a chord, and Bian Hao said with some urgency: "That's right! Now the movements of the Langzhou soldiers are unknown, and Liu Yan and others are good at fighting. If we start the war in a hurry, if the Langzhou soldiers attack us, our army will be enemies in front and behind. , Not to mention the entire army was wiped out, it must have been severely damaged!"

Li Yuan shook his head calmly and smiled: "Commander Bian, it's actually not difficult to guess the intentions of Langzhou soldiers."

Seeing Li Yuan's expression, Bian Hao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his curiosity for knowledge suddenly burst out: "Oh? Just tell me what you think."

Li Yuan blinked his eyes, went through the history books in his mind, and continued: "Returning to the border commander, it is not difficult to imagine that the Langzhou soldiers want to sit back and watch the internal fighting between the two sides. Do you think, what will happen to the Langzhou soldiers? They are still Chu soldiers. Ma Xihe has taken root in Langzhou for a long time. There must be soldiers in the army who are inclined to the old master Ma Xihe. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Liu Yan and others will not explicitly order to attack Ma Xihe. Therefore, they raised troops this time. , must be under the banner of crusade against the usurper Ma Xichong, and the goal is to take the opportunity to capture Tanzhou.

As for our Tang army, they have already made good plans. When our army and Ma Xi'e join forces to capture Tanzhou and the men and horses are exhausted, the Langzhou soldiers will definitely appear under the banner of expelling the Tang army and regaining the Chu Kingdom.

Knife! But before that, as long as Tanzhou is still in Ma Xichong's hands, they will not take the initiative to attack us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bian Hao suddenly became dejected for some unknown reason, his eyelids almost drooped, and he cried with a look of compassion: "According to what you said, even if we take Tanzhou, we will inevitably fight with the soldiers of Langzhou.

Alas! This situation is difficult to solve! This trip, our Tang army entered the country alone, with only more than ten thousand soldiers. Tanzhou is a fortified city. There will be some damage after the attack. How can we deal with the brave Langzhou soldiers? If we retreat like this,

The whole army could be guaranteed to be safe, but the good opportunity was missed and the efforts were in vain!

Alas! I am guilty! I have failed your Majesty's trust! I have failed the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

Seeing the big brother beating his head in this handsome case, Li Yuan suddenly felt a little helpless. Why do you like this drama of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country? Marshal Bian, after you occupied Hunan, you became the emperor of the country.

Satisfied with his ambition, he has fallen into enjoyment ever since...

Although he really wanted to open a comment section to complain, because life is precious, Li Yuan still controlled it. Then he pretended to be sincere and persuaded: "Commander Bian, you are His Majesty's favorite general. Your Majesty's favor."

I am here! As long as you are here, we will win this battle! We must not retreat! This battle is the best opportunity given by God to destroy Chu! I have a plan, and I will definitely break the situation!"

Sure enough, Bian Hao calmed down instantly. Thanks to Li Yuan's quick persuasion, otherwise his eyes would have turned red: "Really? Is the plan going to work out?"

Li Yuan smiled, touched his smooth chin, and then shook his head: "Ahem, don't worry, Commander Bian! If I can make Ma Xichong take the initiative to come to the city to surrender, wouldn't the situation be reversed in an instant? This is the best solution.

A good idea is that our army does not need to lose a single soldier. In addition, Tanzhou Prefecture is the capital of the Chu Kingdom. The city is high and the walls are deep. The population and food are sufficient. Our army of more than 10,000 sharp soldiers is enough. Just wait for work! Even if the Langzhou soldiers

Even if it takes ten and a half months to attack the city, it may not be possible! As for Ma Xi'e, the mob will collapse at the first touch.

As long as Ma Xichong surrenders, the border commander will have accomplished the task of destroying the country! We will dethrone his throne and burn his ancestral temple, and quickly send people back to your majesty, asking him to send a large army to enter the country to appease the people! Your majesty is so happy that he will definitely send a large army to help! Nalangzhou can't help but

How can a state, no matter how good at fighting, be able to defeat the Tang Dynasty? If we can capture Tanzhou unscathed this time, Liu Yan will definitely retreat without knowing the truth! The rest of the Chu land can also be decided by propaganda. In this way, the Chu state will perish!

"

"Well said!" The joy was already on his brows, but Bian Hao was confused again: "But how can we make Ma Xichong take the initiative to surrender? How can this be easier said than done? He is the king of Chu, how can he be willing to throw away the foundation of a country?

Give it up?"

Li Yuan decided not to beat around the bush anymore, and directly lowered his head and handed over his hand: "Commander Bian! I'm willing to enter the city, and tell Ma Xichong to surrender!"

After listening to this, Bian Hao leaned back on the handsome chair, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. The Chu country has been in chaos for so many years. If he could really persuade a country to surrender with his words, he wouldn't have fought so many times! Although Li Yuan had just just

His analysis was indeed very accurate, and he agreed with it, but could it really be done with just a soldier's mouth?

The scheming Bian Hao suddenly narrowed his eyes. At this time, he even suspected Li Yuan. This person might have collected intelligence in advance and had ulterior motives. Did he want to take the opportunity to escape or surrender to the enemy?

Li Yuan had been carefully observing Bian Hao's expression, as if he was hesitating. This opportunity was fleeting! He decided to use another strong medicine: "Bian Hao, now the situation is like fire and water, and the arrow is on the string! The villain thinks that there can't be too much.

Hesitate! Now is the time when the three parties are besieging the city. Once there is a fight, it will be too late!"

It’s really too late! If you wait any longer, Ma Xichong will take the initiative to surrender! Then what does Li Yuan have to do with me?

Li Yuan straightened his back, patted his chest, and said proudly: "Commander Bian, you don't have to worry. I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. He also knows some laws and knows loyalty and filial piety. He also has an old lady at home. He will not be stupid enough to run away in the middle of the battle and get himself involved."

Family! The Kingdom of Chu will perish sooner or later, and the villain will never surrender to the enemy! The villain only wants to be loyal to His Majesty, follow the border commander to expand the territory, and make achievements! Even if he dies on this trip, he will have no complaints! Please give me the advice of the commander-in-chief.

!”

This sincerity caused Bian Hao to start to waver. In fact, what he said was right. We are now in a dilemma. It would be a mistake to advance rashly, and fall short in retreating. Moreover, Chen Jue was offended today, and he will definitely be in trouble under His Majesty's eyes.

Use the topic in front of you...

So what if we send Li Yuan there? If we treat a dead horse as a live doctor, even if the man is gone, we will only lose a small soldier, which is really nothing! Maybe it will have a miraculous effect?

Thinking of this, Bian Hao seemed to have an idea: "What's your name?"

"The villain's surname is Li, and his name has the same origin."

"How old are you this year and where were you born?"

"Twenty this year, from Chuzhou."

"What do you need for this trip? How many people do you need to go with you?"

A big stone fell in Li Yuan's heart, and it finally happened! Then he said what he was thinking: "Back to Bian Shuai, I only need a set of general armor, plus my two good brothers! What I represent on this trip

We are in the Tang Dynasty, and if we dress like soldiers, our dynasty's prestige will be ruined, and even if we can't see Ma Xichong, he won't believe me either! My two good brothers can serve as personal guards!"

Bian Hao frowned and thought for a while, then waved his hand cheerfully: "What's so difficult about a set of armor? Let's do it, Li Yuan, I see that you have a strategy in mind when I offer you a plan today. Since you are Zhang Yaoxian's subordinate, then I will give it to you."

You hold the position of deputy commander of the third battalion of the first army of the Shenwu Army on the left side. When you return successfully, I will write your name in the register again! How about it?"

Li Yuan was a little confused, and he was actually given an official position? But when he thought about it carefully, he had to admire Bian Hao's thoughts! Only when he returns successfully can he register his name. In other words, if he fails, everyone may be gone.

, nothing. But it is indeed a good way to win people’s hearts!

But Bian Hao couldn't imagine that Li Yuan, the commander, was really determined...

Li Yuan thanked him with neither humility nor arrogance: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief! The villain will definitely fulfill his mission!"

Bian Hao tightened his armor and said with a serious face: "If you can really make Nama Xichong come and surrender, you will be the first to conquer Chu in this battle! I will definitely reward you heavily! When the army returns to the court,

I will also ask for merit for you in front of His Majesty!"

Li Yuan did not show any complacency, but said sincerely: "If a villain can succeed by chance, he will never dare to take credit! Bian Shuai is both wise and brave, and you are the number one hero in destroying Chu!"
Chapter completed!
