After all, for those of you who know history, if you follow Dong Zhuo, you can do it unless you don’t want to be involved in the Three Kingdoms. Others are like Sun Jian of Changsha, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Zhang Yang of Shangdang, Yuan Shu of Nanyang, Kong Rong of Beihai, Gongsun Zan of Peiping, etc.
Even Ma Teng from Xiliang reached out to Ling Lei. It has to be said that Ling Lei's popularity at this time has become extremely popular.
Of course, Ling Lei is very self-aware. The reason why he ran out of the olive branch of their high-ranking big shot is entirely because he is interested in fame. From what he knows best in his previous life, Ling Lei is the most down-to-earth among the Three Kingdoms.
The most popular task among the people is to recruit an angry person. As long as you successfully recruit Ling Lei, you will not only get Ling Lei and his more than two thousand soldiers, but also the aspirations of the people of the entire world. By then, people with lofty ideals will almost
They will all defect to each other. When the situation prevails, what this force will gain will definitely not be less than Dong Zhuo, who currently controls the puppet emperor.
However, the more they promised Ling Lei like this, the less Ling Lei would be tempted. Before he became stronger, he must rely on a force. Otherwise, without the support of the boss, it would be very difficult in this chaotic world.
It's hard to survive. There is always a shortage of talented and capable people in the world, but it is often not those people who win in the end.
Why is this? Because they usually don't survive until the end. They are killed by those who are not as capable as him but gain the upper hand early before they have the ability to protect themselves. It is not too much to call it a premature death, because
No matter how capable you are and how capable you are of being a good leader or emperor, what can you do if others don't give you this opportunity?
This is exactly what Ling Lei is like now. Although Ling Lei is very confident that he can completely become an emperor and give the people a bright future by relying on the knowledge in his mind, but if he wants to be like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Dong Zhuo,
The princes insist on not letting you grow up and accumulate your own power, and kill you directly. No matter how powerful Ling Lei is, what can he do in the face of the absolute number of soldiers and horses?
Yes, there are many examples in history, including the Three Kingdoms period, where a small number defeated a large number. Aren’t the three major battles in the history of the Three Kingdoms all about using a small number to defeat the large number? In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao’s 700,000 troops with an army of 100,000 and a little strategy.
The army beat Yuan Shao so much that he took advantage of the excitement and returned home in disgrace. He was beaten until he threw away his armor and fled. In the end, Liu Bei came to help and finally escaped.
There is also the most famous Battle of Chibi among the three stations. At that time, Sun and Liu had less than 200,000 soldiers. They had to face Cao Cao's million-strong army, which was exactly five times the number. In the end, relying on Zhuge Liang's plan, Dongfeng directly defeated Cao Cao's million-strong army.
The fire burned until only one million guardsmen were left to escape. Finally, when they were in Huarong Road, they still relied on their past friendship with Guan Yu to save their lives and fled back to the north. This was what Cao Cao had promised when he led a million-strong army.
He said that he wanted to annihilate Sun and Liu's army and dominate the world. What could he think of?
The last stop was the Battle of Yiling. In order to kill Guan Yu, Liu Bei personally led an army of 700,000 troops. The camps stretched for hundreds of miles. This was definitely the most powerful army in Liu Shu's heyday, even in front of Cao Wei at that time.
It's quite a challenge, let alone Soochow, which is a three-legged alliance but has always been weak. In the end, Lu Xun burned the whole camp with one move, and the camp that stretched for hundreds of miles was completely burned. Even Liu Bei was at home.
It was also in Baidi City that I fell into disgrace after being orphaned by Mr. Zhuge.
These three examples are all motivating Ling Lei all the time. It is not impossible to win more with less. However, while motivating Ling Lei, they are also telling himself that these examples of defeating more with less are indeed victories.
But it’s not like winning under normal circumstances, right?
In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was able to win because he listened to Xu You's plan and burned Yuan Shao's food and grass, causing Yuan Shao's army to become morally confused. He also added an outflanking plan to defeat Yuan Shao's 700,000-strong army in one fell swoop.
The Battle of Chibi is better explained. Cao Cao's million-strong army was not a naval force to begin with. He had no experience in fighting at sea. He listened to Feng Chu and Pang Tong's iron chain chain strategy, which created a favorable situation for the subsequent Dongfeng Fire.
Under favorable conditions, under such circumstances, it would only be a matter of time before Cao Cao's tens of millions of troops were burned to death.
During the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei did not listen to Zhuge Liang's advice and stubbornly stationed his camp in the woods with dense trees. It was a dry autumn at that time. Even if there was no fire source, it was naturally not a rare thing in the woods. What's more,
Not to mention that Lu Xun had been prepared for this by Liu Bei. With this fire, Liu Bei's 700,000-strong army camped hundreds of miles away was caught off guard just like Cao Cao's million-strong army that day. It can even be said that Lu Xun was caught off guard by the fire.
Liu Bei himself was not burned to death that day, and he died only after being entrusted with an orphan in Baidi City. Liu Bei was considered relatively strong.
Now that he understands this, Ling Lei will no longer think about using his 20,000 to compete with other princes' 20,000 or more armies under normal circumstances. They have at least ten times the strength and are equipped with weapons.
Others are better equipped than you in this regard. If you take the initiative to start a war, no matter who you are, you can easily destroy Ling Lei. However, they may spend a lot of effort to do this, but the final result will not change.
of.
So it was precisely because of this that Ling Lei gave up his decision to become king and hegemony, and still relied on others. Previously, Ling Lei planned to always be attached to Han Fu before he captured Jizhou, but now so many princes have
Now that he is interested in himself, the feeling that he should make plans for himself in advance appeared in Ling Lei's heart. It was precisely this that made Ling Lei entangled. Should he remain the same and refuse the princes to follow Han Fu, or should he follow Han Fu first?
Find your own way out...
"Gongtai, Zilong, to be honest, I don't know what to do now. Although Han Fu's Jizhou is one of the best among so many princes, his own ability and power can be said to be at the bottom. I
Is there a future for following him like this? How about I find a way out for myself first, or when Han Fu is in crisis, I can respond faster," Ling Lei said with a try.
Talk to Chen Gong about your mentality.
Chen Gong smiled and said: "My lord, is this really what you think in your heart?"
Ling Lei nodded slightly: "Yes, is this idea wrong?"
Chen Gong smiled and shook his head and said: "It can't be said to be a mistake. It can only be said that it is not the wisest decision. It is indeed a situation that can take care of yourself later, but has the lord thought of taking care of his current situation first?
Well, if Han Fu discovers that you are showing signs of goodwill to other princes secretly, then according to his own character, he will definitely choose to destroy you. Even if he will lose a lot of power because of this, he will
You would rather do this than leave your back to someone you can't trust, you know? The distance between Zhending and Jizhou is closer than any other prince. Once Han Fu is determined to annihilate you in Jizhou, no matter who it is,
He can't save you, let alone before he has determined whether you are using his power to gain protection or are truly loyal to him, he will not really rescue you. Lord, do you still think you are so good?"
Thinking of the possible consequences of this, Ling Lei couldn't help but feel that he was a little too naive. If he really decided that way, he wouldn't be able to wait until later. Maybe he couldn't even conquer Jizhou and say goodbye to the world of the Three Kingdoms.
, and it was precisely in this way that Ling Lei knew that if you want to survive or even dominate this Three Kingdoms world full of intrigues, it is definitely not as simple as playing house. You must be cautious and step by step.
You can survive and eventually get what you want.
"Gongtai, what should I do now? Since I want to continue to stand on Han Fu's side, I should always express something. Otherwise, even if I don't have that kind of idea, Han Fu will misunderstand that I have that kind of idea.
Isn’t the final result the same? So I feel that I must do something in exchange for Han Fu’s absolute trust in me, so that he can not help me, or at least not have bad intentions towards me.
," Ling Lei said firmly.
Chen Gong nodded slightly and said: "My lord is right, but isn't the best thing that can gain Han Fu's trust always with my lord?"
"The best thing?" Ling Lei's eyes suddenly stared at the dozen or so letters, and he immediately asked: "Does Gongtai mean these letters?"
Chen Gong smiled and nodded: "Of course! Is there anything that can win Han Fu's trust more than these letters? Han Fu will definitely come to congratulate him before the wedding tomorrow, and even other princes will send people to come.
At that time, you only need to give these letters to Han Fu in person, and then say something that can express your absolute loyalty to Han Fu. By then, Han Fu will trust you as much as his trusted generals. I dare not
Talking about what kind of help Han Fu will give you, at least Han Fu will not cause you any trouble, but it will definitely give you enough development."
"Just do it like this. With you on the public platform to assist me, why can't the world fail? Zilong, do you hear clearly? Notify me as soon as Han Fu arrives. I want to go and tell Han Fu in person. I
I want him, Han Fu, to know that I, Ling Lei, am the most loyal to him, at least under the current circumstances," Ling Lei said urgently to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun accepted the order with a smile: "No! My lord, Han Fu can solve the problem here, but how should the other princes respond? If these princes don't answer well, I'm afraid, my lord, you will get Jizhou in the end, and it will be very difficult for you."
It's hard to face their anger, this matter needs to be handled well."
Faced with Zhao Yun's worries, Ling Lei also realized that it was not enough to just deal with Han Fu. Han Fu was the worst in terms of strength. He could protect himself for a while, but when the world war broke out, he would also be very weak.
It is difficult to protect yourself all the time. You must deal with other princes comprehensively.
