Shisun Rui frowned and his eyes shrank. He raised his head and stared into Liu Xie's eyes.
"Go to Hedong first, and then go to Taiyuan." Liu Xie said while drawing on the ground. "Lean on Taihang on the left, lean on the river on the right, cultivate fields and cultivate valleys, train troops and protect the people, and watch the changes in the world."
Shi Sunrui took a breath of air, his eyes changed several times, and when he looked at Liu Xie again, he was a little more surprised and a little awe-stricken.
The emperor's vision was so high and the pattern so vast that it far exceeded his expectations.
Although this strategy is crude and difficult to implement, it has more opportunities than returning to Luoyang.
After the surprise, Shisun Rui calmed down and reminded: "Your Majesty, in the world of Luoyang, if the emperor is not here, someone will take advantage of it."
Liu Xie laughed and said: "When Emperor Gao was dormant in Hanzhong, Xiang Yu called himself the Overlord of Western Chu. He was on the verge of conquering the whole world, not just Luoyang?"
Scholar Sun Rui blinked his eyes. "Xiang Yu was crowned with monkeys, and died a worthy death. But now that Guandong prefectures and counties have emerged together, not all Xiang Yu may be the extraordinary and far-sighted people."
Liu Xie smiled even brighter. "When Emperor Gao entered Xianyang, Ziying abdicated the throne and wished to be the king of Qin. If the fate of the Han Dynasty has ended, and there is someone like Emperor Gao in Guandong Prefecture, I am willing to comply with the destiny and follow Ziying's example and step down from the throne to wait for him.
Sage. But if they are just Xiang Yu, I have no choice but to endure the hardship, follow Emperor Wu's story, and extend the fortune of the Han Dynasty for a few more years."
Shisun Rui raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at Liu Xie for a long time. "Your Majesty, this..."
"This is what I say from the bottom of my heart." Liu Xie said word for word: "I only hope that Wei Wei will learn from it."
Shisun Rui was slightly startled, a long-lost excitement surged in his chest, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed.
"I accept the favor of the country and am willing to dedicate myself to the country and serve your majesty even if I die."
The emperor treated him as a nobleman of the country and entrusted him with a pure heart. Naturally, he should pledge himself to the country.
Liu Xie also stood up and returned the salute respectfully. "The Weiwei did not fail me, and I do not fail the Weiwei. You and I, the monarchs and ministers, join hands to build peace, for the great Han Dynasty, and for the suffering people of the world."
A meager strength."
"only!"
"Weiwei, please take a seat." Liu Xie pulled Sun Rui back to his seat and explained the current situation in detail.
Shi Sunrui is the mainstay of his high hopes. The deeper he understands the plan, the more effective it will be in its execution.
His plan is simple.
Since there is chaos in Guandong and Luoyang cannot be returned, then go to Hedong and Bingzhou.
In order to achieve this goal, he not only had to break through Zhang Ji's blockade, but also had to deal with Li Jue and Guo Si's possible pursuit at any time.
The main force of the Forbidden Army was vulnerable, and the three generals Yang Feng had limited troops, which were not enough to deal with Zhang Ji, Li Jue, and Guo Si at the same time. Therefore, while preventing Yang Feng from merging with Duan Xuan, he sent Yang Biao to persuade Duan Xuan and Huangfu.
Li went to stabilize Zhang Ji so that he could free up his hands and concentrate his troops to fight against Li Jue and Guo Si.
Despite this, he still has no chance of winning. Li Jue and Guo Si have been in battle for a long time, and the Xiliang soldiers are brave. If you want to defeat them, you must be fully prepared.
Rectifying the Forbidden Army is an important step, and the guards commanded by Shi Sunrui and the five schools of the Northern Army are the top priority.
After hearing Liu Xie's plan, Shi Sunrui was surprised and happy.
The emperor not only has a global vision and takes in the world's situation in his mind, but also thinks a lot about the situation in front of him.
Standing high, seeing far, and being more down-to-earth, it is not easy to get one end of the world, let alone both.
Deng Quan is right, the emperor has changed, but he has become wiser.
This is a good sign that the destiny of the Han Dynasty has not yet been fulfilled, and it is also the true meaning of the visions that have come from the sky a few days ago.
When he thought of these, Shi Sunrui felt that his blood, which had been silent for a long time, gradually became hot again.
Even so, he still said without any hesitation: "What your Majesty said is true. It's just that the imperial army is neglected in battle formation and cannot be used effectively. The three generals are unruly and at odds with each other, so they cannot be relied on to build a strong city. Take the initiative to attack and fight for victory."
Being wild is tantamount to a way to death."
Liu Xie smiled and nodded. "In the opinion of the guard, what should we do?"
Scholar Sun Rui took the dagger from Liu Xie and drew a few lines on the ground, causing the loess to fly. "In my opinion, we should set up camp at these places and wait for work..."
Liu Xie listened quietly.
A few days ago, Zhong Yao took a few people to check the nearby map and added many details that were not originally on the map. After listening to the report, Liu Xie had a relatively accurate grasp of the nearby terrain. Shisun Rui
He could also understand what he said.
Generally speaking, Shi Sunrui's plan coincided with his plan.
Neither the Forbidden Army, nor Yang Ding, nor Dong Cheng were strong enough to face Li Jue and Guo Si head-on, so staying in danger became one of the few options. There was a severe drought in Sanfu last year, and many people were displaced.
People were fleeing, there were few people nearby, and the food they could plunder was limited. Li Jue and Guo Si couldn't hold on for long. They would have to retreat in ten days and a half at most, without food.
Therefore, the key to victory is to find terrain suitable for defense and then find ways to store enough food.
The only flaw is that Shi Sunrui's plan is defensive but not offensive.
Liu Xie patiently listened to Shisun Rui's plan, thought for a moment, and then said: "The art of war requires both offense and defense. Why is your plan defensive but not offensive?"
Shi Sunrui returned the dagger with both hands and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the current situation is more than enough to defend, but not enough to attack. Instead of taking the risk of attacking, it is better to defend and wait for the enemy to retreat. Then all the troops will advance eastward and force Zhang Ji to surrender. Your Majesty can safely cross the river.
, and stationed in the east of Hedong. In the future, it will not be too late to train the troops successfully and reserve supplies to fight Li Jue and Guo Si again."
Liu Xie frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "What if we bring in the Baibo Army for reinforcements?"
Introducing the Baibo Army as reinforcements has always been the focus of his plan, but considering the minister's prejudice against the Baibo Army, he did not take the initiative to mention it.
"Baibo Army?" Shisun Rui was startled, then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is impossible."
"Why?"
"Among the three generals, Yang Feng is the most brave and arrogant. With Bai Bo's army as reinforcement, Yang Feng will be in great difficulty. He will not know how to be domineering in the future."
Liu Xie looked at Shisun Rui without comment.
Shi Sunrui said sincerely: "Your Majesty, everything will be done if you are prepared, and if you are not prepared, it will be ruined. When Your Majesty is stationed in Hedong, it is natural that he cannot help but come into contact with the Baibo Army. But at this moment, inviting the Baibo Army for reinforcements will have small benefits but great harm."
"How can I see it?"
"Excuse me for speaking frankly. The imperial court was first controlled by Dong Zhuo, then by Li Jue and Guo Si, and its majesty was wiped out. If the Baibo Army is brought in as reinforcement, even if it defeats Li Jue and Guo Si, the Baibo Army will definitely take it as a credit. In the future, Your Majesty will go to Hedong.
, it is also a matter of relying on others and being unable to act independently. It is better to use the existing troops to repel Li Jue and Guo Si to show that the court still has the strength to fight."
After Shi Sunrui finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xie with keen eyes.
After Liu Xie thought for a moment, he understood what Shisun Rui meant and couldn't help but be surprised.
Jiang is still old and hot. Shi Sunrui is worthy of being an old minister and is thoughtful. If he really follows his own plan and recruits the Bai Bo army for reinforcements, even if he defeats Li Jue, it will not be a good thing for Guo Si. Instead, it may lay the foundation for disaster.
"What you said is true." Liu Xie felt bitter in his heart and showed a self-deprecating smile.
"Your Majesty... do you think it's possible?" Shisun Rui asked cautiously.
Liu Xie understood what Shisun Rui meant and smiled slightly. "Not only is it feasible, it is absolutely necessary."
Scholar Sun Rui felt relieved, stroked his beard and smiled.
