Black buttocks clapped his hands and exclaimed, pointed at Li Shi and said: "I take back what I just said. What did you, a drunkard, say about Uncle Zheng and Dai Guo?
If we don't die, we will take over Sian County."
Li Shiqi was too lazy to argue with a fool like Hei Butt, and her eyes were fixed on Zhao Tuo who was sitting on the throne.
This was the first plan he proposed when he recommended himself to Zhao Tuo, and he naturally responded with expectations.
As long as Zhao Tuo can agree, Li Shiqi will volunteer and go to the city to convince Dai Wu to surrender.
No matter what the situation was later, he finally allowed the Qin army to capture Shi County without any bloodshed. With such merit, he could be promoted to another title.
Since he demoted Xiao Huang and was promoted to the title of Shangzhuo, Li Shiqi has tasted the benefits of the Qin title, and naturally tried his best to climb up.
On top of the throne, Zhao Tuo had other ideas.
"I originally thought that Chen Ping in history was a poisonous man, but I didn't expect that you, Li Shiqi, are also extremely ruthless. If we follow this plan, it is indeed very possible to capture Lian County without a single blow, but...
"
Zhao Tuo raised his head and saw that all the generals in the tent were also thinking, so he asked: "After listening to Mr. Li's strategy, what do you think?"
Black Butt shouted: "I feel good!"
No one paid any attention to him.
Shejian said in a deep voice: "In the art of war, the whole army is the priority, and the destruction of the army is second. The enemy's troops are defeated without fighting, which is a good thing. If you can capture this city without losing a single soldier, it is naturally good.
If our army can quickly advance to Shixian County, it can also serve as a deterrent to the cities of Wei State further east."
Zhao Tuo nodded. During this time, Shejian learned the art of war to some extent, and he could already speak a few words casually.
Bai Rong also said: "I think it's feasible. As long as we enter the city, our world will be ours. Once the sword is revealed, the people in the city won't be able to resist at all, so Dai Wu will have to admit it even if he doesn't."
Seeing that the three generals all agreed, Zhang He rolled his eyes and said: "I also think Mr. Li's plan is feasible. Even if this plan fails and Dai Wu cannot be lured to surrender, we have nothing to lose, so we might as well give it a try."
Xiqigu nodded and said nothing.
Under Zhao Tuo, there are a total of four 2500 Lords and two 500 Lords under direct jurisdiction. Now, five of the six generals have recognized it.
Li Shi couldn't help but show color on his face.
Zhao Tuo did not make a decision, but looked at Zhao Guang who did not speak.
"Zhao Guang, what do you think?"
Zhao Guang cupped his hands and said: "The general believes that Mr. Li's plan does have merit and will allow our army to move quickly to Shen County. However, it also has its flaws."
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Tuo asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, if our army can really exchange the position of County Magistrate for Dai Wu to surrender, that would be great. But now that we can't do this, we make empty promises and then break them after inducing surrender.
It will leave hidden dangers and make the military commander bear the name of treachery."
"Our army may be able to easily capture Shixian County with this strategy, but if word of this incident spreads, everyone in Wei will know that the words of the military commander cannot be trusted. Even if someone wants to surrender later, I am afraid they will be afraid of this incident.
In the long run, a bad reputation will do more harm than good!"
Zhao Guang's voice was low, but the words in his mouth made everyone's expressions change.
Li Shiqi knew something was wrong and felt that her clever plan might not succeed.
"Um."
Zhao Tuo nodded.
Because Zhao Guang was born in the Zhao family, his horizons were much broader than those of the others.
In Shejian, Heiyi was born in a clan, Xiqigu was just a small official in the village, Bai Rong was also of Qin and Di descent, and Zhang He didn't have much talent.
Therefore, these five people are far inferior to this Zhao disciple in terms of knowledge. They may see the immediate benefits, but they cannot see the hidden disadvantages behind this matter.
reputation!
In this era, it is still very useful.
Don't you see, the deputy envoy of Yan State, Gao Tuo, stabbed Jing Ke in the back in the main hall. From then on, he was reviled by the people of the six kingdoms.
Everyone in the six kingdoms cursed Gao Tuo angrily, wishing they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Of course, that was Gao Tuo's doing and had nothing to do with Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo was an innocent man, leading an army for the first time, and had a flawless reputation. How could he ruin his innocent reputation for the sake of a mere small county?
If he listens to Li Shi's plan and ruins his credit, then who will be willing to trust Zhao Tuo and deal with him in the future? I'm afraid even the King of Qin will frown after hearing this.
Even Uncle Zheng in Li Shiqi's story is still reviled for his insidiousness and cunning, thousands of years later, and his reputation can be said to be infamy for thousands of years.
This is the harm seen in the long run.
If we look at it from the current perspective, even if Zhao Tuo really deceives Xia County and fails to fulfill his promise, can Dai Wu agree?
Even if Dai Wu can be eliminated by force, how can thousands of Dai people in the city agree?
If these Dai people had been patient and waited until Zhao Tuo led his army to continue eastward and fought with the Wei army in the east, they would have risen again and directly cut off Zhao Tuo's escape route. Wouldn't it mean that Zhao Tuo was instantly trapped in a dead end?
middle.
This is the disadvantage that can be seen before the eyes.
"What Lord Zhao Erwubai said is that I was too abrupt in this matter. I did not consider the reputation of the military commander. It is really a sin."
Li Shiqi handed it over and blamed herself.
Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "Mr. Li's advice is also so that our army can win the battle without having to blame ourselves. And this plan also has some merits."
"Since Mr. Li knows the County Magistrate quite well, he is willing to go to the city as a lobbyist for our army. He said that as long as he surrenders, I can find him the position of County Magistrate."
Li Shiqi frowned and said, "For a county magistrate, I'm afraid the portion is not enough."
Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, even if you can't be persuaded. Sir, you can go into the city to observe the military situation in the city, see its defense preparations, the number of soldiers, etc., and provide intelligence to our army. As the saying goes, if you know your enemy and yourself, you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. Regardless of success or failure in this matter
If it doesn’t work, it’s all a result.”
Li Shiqi's eyes lit up, she cupped her hands and said, "In that case, Li Shiqi is willing to obey the order of the military commander."
The main seat in the tent, Zhao Tuo, looked at the Li brothers walking out of the tent, thinking about a question in his head.
Li Shiqi is such a smart person, can he really not see the danger behind his strategy?
Outside the military tent.
The Li brothers came to a quiet place.
Li Shang joked: "Brother's clever plan was blocked by Zhao Guang's words. Hey, you must be so angry."
Li Shiqi rolled her eyes.
"Why are you angry? In my opinion, even if Zhao Guang doesn't say anything, our military commander probably won't agree."
Li Shang was surprised and said: "He is not older than me, can he still see clues?"
Li Shiqi smiled and said: "He is not older than you, but he is much more capable than you. I still underestimated him before. I wanted to follow this person, get some credit in this battle to destroy Wei, and upgrade my title.
.So I came up with this extremely quick-effective strategy just to gain military glory as soon as possible. As for whether Zhao Tuo’s reputation is ruined or not, it has nothing to do with me.”
"Now that he has seen it, I will have to be more sincere in the future. I will not dare to use this kind of strategy again."
Li Shang sneered and said: "Brother, you are really thinking about being promoted to a noble title now. You have put a lot of thought into getting that title. I think you have really become a Qin man now."
Li Shiqi looked at his brother and sighed: "My brother, my brother, the reason why I want to be promoted is so that I can protect you if you commit a crime in the future. If you are punished by Qin Fa in the future, you will be made a subordinate.
, I can even give up my title to pay for your sin!"
