Liu Mingzhi put down his telescope and scratched the back of his head with a depressed expression: "Not to mention a 400,000-armed army, even 400,000 pigs would have to be killed for a few days. I don't think there is anything we can do to help. There are only ten soldiers guarding the city.
Wan is in his early years, and I don't have the ability to spread the word to make an army. What else can I do if one hundred thousand people fight against four hundred thousand people but resist desperately?"
Hui'er slumped to the ground helplessly, her face a little pale. Didn't she understand that Liu Mingzhi's words were not without purpose. One hundred thousand versus four hundred thousand, was there any other way besides resisting to the death?
Come to think of it, even if the military sage Sun Wu is reincarnated, he may not be able to do anything. After all, the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great.
Although the rebels mostly have a mixed army, the tall ones among the short ones can still pick out a hundred thousand elite soldiers.
The 300,000 miscellaneous soldiers will use up all the equipment to defend the city, and the remaining 100,000 elite soldiers can attack the capital without any effort. When the time comes, they will all become lambs to be slaughtered.
"Master Liu, is there no other way but to fight each other? Please think about it more. Hui'er begs you. I have offended you before. For the sake of Hui'er's status as a little girl, Master Liu, please don't let go.
In my heart, as long as Master Liu can help His Majesty defeat the enemy this time, Hui'er's life can be taken care of by Master Liu at any time."
Liu Mingzhi sighed and looked at the sad Hui'er: "Wait a minute, let me think about if there is any other way. After all, the safety of the Dalong Mission also depends on the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. I will not take advantage of myself."
Your life is just a joke with the lives of two thousand brothers."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu. No matter what I can do or not, Hui'er will always thank you loyally."
"Third brother, do you really have a plan to defeat the enemy?"
Song List stroked the handle of the horizontal sword with his hand and looked at the densely packed army outside the city with a serious expression.
"As things stand now, we have to have it, and we have to have it even if we don't think too hard about it."
Liu Mingzhi looked again with his telescope, and saw that the army five miles away did not have the slightest concern and started to set up camp in a grand manner, as if he firmly believed that the defenders in the city did not dare to go out to attack.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Now that the city gate has been sealed with rammed earth, it will take a lot of effort for the defenders in the city to get out of the city.
From the telescope, Liu Mingzhi saw a horseman carrying a flag walking towards the city gate without any scruples, looking at the 100,000 troops at the city gate as if they were nothing.
It was really arrogant to the extreme.
"Master Hui"
"Master Liu, just call me Hui'er. It's up to you whether I will have Master Hui in the future."
"Well, I will not be polite if I obey the authority in a hurry. Hui'er, the rebels' four princes and their banners have set up camps respectively. This shows that at least four princes are plotting rebellion together. Have they discussed in advance which one they will support after success?
A prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor?"
"No, according to the intelligence, after the four rebels plan to attack the capital, they will decide who will be the emperor based on their merit."
Liu Mingzhi was stunned and looked at the rebels who were divided into four camps outside the city in surprise. Are they so worried? Only after the matter was successful did they start to assign who would become the emperor?
Liu Mingzhi fully expected that even if the rebels captured the city, they would not sit down and distribute the benefits peacefully, and there would be an even more miserable battle for the throne.
It's not that Liu Mingzhi underestimated the moral character of the four rebel commanders, but that Liu Mingzhi never underestimated human nature.
Human nature is something that will never remain static.
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and had some thoughts in his mind. Chaos in the morning and chaos in the evening would be chaos. In this case, why not add some fire to them.
"There is a way, but we need to discuss it with His Majesty. This method will only work if His Majesty agrees."
"any solution?"
Hui'er looked slightly happy and looked at Liu Mingzhi expectantly.
"A plan to divorce."
"A plan to divorce? How to divorce?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head: "It's useless to tell you about this matter. It's better to take me to see His Majesty. She knows how to perform it."
Hui'er didn't hesitate and stood up from the ground in a hurry: "Master Liu, please come this way. Your Majesty is observing the enemy's movements on the tower."
"Brother, please bring someone to bring the wine jars filled with liquids in my room, as well as my clarinet instrument."
"I know, be careful."
Hui'er led the two of them to the tower: "Your Majesty, Sir Liu, please see me."
The Queen, who was observing the enemy's arrangement, was slightly startled, and immediately put away the telescope: "Please."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty"
"Master Liu, there is no need to be polite now. We have nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall. Let's talk about important things first."
"yes."
"Your Majesty, Willow has a plan that can delay the rebels' attack."
The queen's eyes lit up: "Master Liu, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"Your Majesty, the rebels outside the city seem to number 400,000, but they are actually very different from each other. If nothing else, you can see that they are divided into four camps. As long as you use a little trick, you can delay at least one day.
Let the rebels attack the city in advance."
"How to behave?"
"If you drive a wedge between the four kings, anything strong begins to break from within. As long as you divide the four kings' alliance and make them wary of each other, you can delay it for some time!"
"How to separate?"
"Your Majesty, you can send four envoys to secretly meet with the four kings and tell them that they can give up the throne. You can even cooperate with them inside and outside to eliminate the remaining three potential threats, but the premise is to save your majesty's life and be a free prince.
, as long as they agree, we can open the city gate and welcome them into the city."
The Queen began to think deeply after hearing this, and after a long time she shook her head slightly: "This is too obvious. They can see at a glance that this is my plan, and they will definitely not believe it."
"Your Majesty, this strategy does not depend on the depth, but on the relationship between the four kings."
"The relationship between the four kings?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if you are one of the rebels, even if you do not agree with this opinion, but you have met the other three people and secretly received His Majesty's envoy, you will not agree. It does not mean that others will not agree. Your
I will definitely guess in my heart whether any of them has agreed to this matter and cooperate with His Majesty inside and outside to catch them all."
The queen thought for a moment and understood what Mr. Liu meant, and her eyes gradually brightened.
"A strategy to attack the heart?"
"Your Majesty is wise, the most difficult thing to test in this world is the human heart, let alone the human heart of four people with evil intentions. Even if they don't agree, they will guard against each other when attacking the city, conserve their own strength and not use all their strength to attack the city.
"
"What if they swear to each other that they will not agree to my suggestion?"
Young Master Liu smiled calmly: "Just follow the plan."
"How to take advantage of the situation?"
"His Majesty decrees that the soldiers guarding the city will fight one and release the other when defending the rebels from attacking the city."
"Hit one, release one? How to hit one, release one?"
"Why are you so stupid? Your Majesty, I told you to forgive me, but I'm so dumb." Realizing that the Queen was stupid enough, Young Master Liu couldn't help but irritate her.
Then I realized that the person in front of me was not an ordinary person, but the leader of a country.
The Queen's face also turned a little red: "It's not that I don't understand, it's that I've never heard of the strategy you mentioned, so it's hard to understand for a while."
"Hit one, let one go" means that when the rebels attack the city, His Majesty orders the soldiers guarding the city to only attack the enemies of two of the rebel groups, and spare the other two groups of rebels. They have to fight. Whatever you mean.
Yes, as long as this is done, the four-way vassal kings will become two-way vassal kings through joint efforts to alienate each other."
"An enemy all the way, and a vassal king who 'reached an agreement' with me all the way?"
