But what if the Han army were to send troops to aid the Yuwen tribe?

Although Li Ru's words resonated with Tan Shihuai, he was still worried that the Han Dynasty would intervene in the war.

Li Ru nodded. "Your Majesty's concerns are not without merit. After all, the unification of the Xianbei is not in the interests of the Han Dynasty!"

Tan Shihuai said with a solemn expression, "Yes, this is what I am most worried about. If the Han Dynasty comes to our aid, we will have to pay a very high price if we want to take down the Yuwen tribe!"

After a moment's thought, Li Ru said, "Then Your Majesty might as well send some troops, with many banners, to pretend to be a large army and head straight for Yunzhong to attract the attention of the Han Kingdom and keep them busy. Meanwhile, the main force will launch a frontal attack on the Yuwen tribe."

"Yes, good, Mr. Wen's plan is perfect!"

Tan Shihuai's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "However, in order to deceive the Han Dynasty and make them look real, our army still needs to send out some small groups to bypass the Great Wall and enter the Han territory to plunder!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ru nodded calmly: "Your Majesty is right. This will also provoke the Han, making them focus all their energy on pursuit and defense!"

Although Li Ru spoke calmly, a cold glint flashed deep in his eyes.

It's not hard to imagine how many Han people would be brutally murdered and slaughtered once those small, sabotage-dealing units entered Han territory.

"This sandalwood tree must not be allowed to live..."

Thinking of the scene of the Han people being slaughtered by the Xianbei cavalry, Li Ru secretly sentenced Tan Shihuai to death.
