Chapter 508: Estrangement and Seeking Help (Additional chapter for the die-hard fans of Sugar Orange)
For a time, the civil and military officials of Yan State had no time to analyze Ying Yuan's psychology.
I felt very confused.
The State of Yan was already in a precarious situation.
If Li Shimin made another mistake, it would be the end of Dayan.
The Qin army learned that the Yan army had just attacked.
Bai Qi and others once again called Ying Yuan wise.
After Ying Yuan made several very good arrangements.
They finally recognized a fact.
That is, never disobey or question the orders of the Qin Emperor.
Dong Zhuo and others believed that if there was a nine-story building.
Then they would be at most on the fourth or fifth floor.
And Ying Yuan was already standing at the top of the tower.
It's a little higher than the ninth floor.
After this battle, Ying Yuan thought about everything that had happened since the attack on Yan.
I was also hit hard and fell into depression.
If he hadn't been backstabbed so many times, he would probably have been so angry that he vomited blood like Emperor Yan Li Shimin.
When mentioning Li Shimin, Ying Yuan felt filled with anger.
"Li Shimin, Li Shimin, what do you want me to tell you?"
"A good hand of cards played badly."
"If you had launched an attack with your entire army right from the start, wouldn't it have been easier for me to be defeated by you?"
"It's fine if Cao Cao and the others backstab me, but you are my enemy, and you want to backstab me too?"
Ying Yuan was really speechless.
He thought for a while and made a serious decision.
"From now on, I will step back from the battle with Yan State and let you fight."
He finally understood.
Without his blind participation, the Qin army might be defeated, or at worst, it would fight back and forth with the enemy.
Victory will never come so quickly.
For example, before this, Dong Zhuo and Li Shimin were only barely evenly matched.
Li Shimin also won many fruitful battles.
If Cao Cao had not arrived because of my arrival, how could he have almost wiped out Li Jing's troops when attacking Muye Pass?
So, the reason ultimately lies with yourself.
In that case, I don't care. They can fight this war however they want. Is that all right?
As Ying Yuan finished speaking.
Dong Zhuo and others began to speculate on his thoughts.
"Your Majesty's military prowess is unmatched in the world. Why did Your Majesty suddenly decide to retreat behind the scenes and no longer wish to lead the war against Yan?"
"Your Majesty, is this action intended to train us?"
“…”
After leaving the tent, they gathered together to discuss various matters.
"Your Majesty asked me to lead the troops because, under your command, the destruction of Yan has become a major trend."
"If the Qin army, despite having such an advantage, were to be defeated by the State of Yan, it would be a testament to our incompetence."
"Your Majesty's military prowess is far superior to all of you, yet Your Majesty still chooses to remain in seclusion behind the scenes, just to give us a chance to train!"
"To train us through a war of annihilation, I'm afraid only Your Majesty has the courage to do so."
"Your Majesty's attack on Zhu Wen was truly a foresight, foreseeing the enemy and suppressing Emperor Li Shimin of Yan at every turn."
"Our talents cannot be compared with your majesty's, but they cannot be too inferior, otherwise, your majesty will look down on us."
“…”
Then, they began to analyze the current power division of the Yan army.
After Zhu Wen's army of more than 100,000 was destroyed.
On Li Shimin's side, at most, he only had 600,000 troops.
He had 400,000 men under his command, and excluding 100,000 new recruits, his elite division only had 300,000 men.
Another 200,000 belong to the various vassal forces.
The counselor Jia Xu suddenly came up with a vicious plan.
"Currently, the largest vassal forces in Yan State are Li Keyong and Li Siyuan."
"Among them, Li Keyong had 70,000 soldiers, and Li Siyuan had 30,000 soldiers."
"My plan can be divided into two parts."
"First, send an envoy to deliberately contact Li Keyong, but do not make it too public. At the same time, you must also let Li Shimin know about this."
"Then he secretly sent someone to contact Li Siyuan, promising that after the Yan Dynasty was destroyed, he would be crowned King of Yan."
"Have him write a secret letter and inform Li Shimin, saying that Li Keyong might rebel against Yan."
"If this plan succeeds, Li Shimin and Li Keyong will surely become suspicious of each other."
"Second, after they became suspicious of each other, we sent out lobbyists to thoroughly convince Li Keyong to surrender to the Qin Dynasty."
"With this, Li Keyong and his son will belong to the Qin Empire. How can those vassal states not rebel against Yan?"
"If Li Keyong is unwilling to rebel against Yan, then spread the news of Li Siyuan's complaint and turn the father and son against each other."
"By then, the power of the vassal states will have been continuously reduced, and Great Qin will no longer need to worry about them. We will only focus on the decisive battle with Yan."
Speaking of this.
Dong Zhuo and others praised him one after another.
Among the various countries, Jia Xu was known as a "poisonous scholar".
Otherwise he must be a poisonous person.
This plan is not only vicious, but also unsolvable.
at the same time.
Emperor Yan Li Shimin has just woken up.
The first thing he did after waking up was to summon the leaders of various vassal states to the big tent to discuss matters.
Li Shimin clearly invited Li Keyong.
However, he only sent Li Siyuan.
Seeing this, Li Shimin secretly guessed,
"It seems that since Zhu Wen's death, these vassal states have been getting restless."
This is expected.
This is also the reason why he summoned the leaders of various feudal lords to come here.
