Chapter 505: A surprise attack on Xianyang? Playing it safe is better! (Additional chapter for Nalan Xianer readers)
"Strange fate..."
The man named Li who was sitting opposite Yuan Tiangang murmured.
He actually left his seat, stood up, and opened the doors and windows.
Looking at the Qin army soldiers who were eating and sleeping on both sides of the street and were determined not to disturb the people, he said seriously:
"Brother Yuan, you claim to be knowledgeable, but have you ever seen such a scene?"
"Throughout history, whenever victorious soldiers entered a city, they would invariably burn, kill, and loot. If they were a little better off, they would also indulge in music."
"But open your eyes and look at these Qin soldiers. Every one of their faces is covered with dirt."
"They didn't even have a place to change their clothes, so they lived on the streets and didn't harm a single citizen in the city."
"To be honest, I have never heard of such a scene... You said that the Qin Emperor had a strange fate."
"From my short-sighted perspective, there are only two possible outcomes."
"First, he possesses a rare imperial destiny, unfettered by the laws of nature. He transcends fate and is the master of the three elements of heaven, earth, and man."
"Secondly, those with chaotic fates rely on their own strength to forcibly change their own destiny. It's like the saying, one fate, two luck, three feng shui...it's nothing more than that."
"But no matter what kind of fate it is, it seems as if God is telling you and me that Qin Emperor Ying Yuan is the one who will end the centuries of chaos and strife among the nations."
This man surnamed Li is naturally Yuan Tiangang’s best friend in his life - Li Chunfeng.
After hearing Li Chunfeng's long speech, Yuan Tiangang said disapprovingly:
"I admit that if the Tang army had captured the Qin capital, it would never have been like the Qin army, but what does this prove?"
"To unify a chaotic world, one must not only win the hearts and minds of the people, but also rely on the right time, right place, and right people. All three are indispensable."
"You said that Qin Emperor Ying Yuan might be a man of disorderly fate. Since he relies on his own body, he can defy fate and change it."
"Then why can't you and I help His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang and defy fate?"
"I believe that the Tang Emperor is no less capable than the Qin Emperor!"
Li Chunfeng shook his head and said, "Brother Yuan, it's useless. The celestial phenomena have been in disarray since more than ten years ago. It's difficult for sorcerers like you and me to change the situation with magic."
"This is God's will. If you forcibly disobey it, the fate that awaits you will be death without a burial place."
"What's more, there are many talented people in the world, and isn't Zhang Sanfeng one of them?"
"Do you dare to say that you have already mastered Zhang Sanfeng's Yin and Yang? Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and numerology are all Qimen techniques."
"As far as I know, there is a man named Zhuge Liang in the Qin army who is proficient in the art of Qimen Bagua."
"Are you confident that your Qimen Numerology can defeat Qimen Bagua?"
Yuan Tiangang fell silent.
How could he not know that the Qin army was full of talented people?
Although the art of Qimen is shocking.
But among the hundreds of schools of thought that have been passed down to this day, which one is mediocre?
Confucianism, the School of Diplomacy, Mohism, Military Science and so on.
In a sense, everyone can change their own destiny.
Especially after the disorder of destiny more than ten years ago, the so-called Qimen fortune-telling technique can no longer stand out among hundreds of schools of thought.
When I saw Yuan Tiangang's thoughtful expression.
Perhaps because Li Chunfeng, his old friend, couldn't bear it, he patted his shoulder and said:
"Wars between nations are never won by one person alone."
"Although your strategy is brilliant, the Qin army's actions after entering the city are telling me something."
"Dayan...is dead."
"Brother Yuan, that's all I have to say. Take care."
-------------------
Early April of the seventh year of Taichu.
Ying Yuan arrived in Wanzhou and successfully joined forces with Dong Zhuo and others.
As a result, about half of Yan's northern territory fell into the hands of Qin.
The other half was each occupied by Li Shimin and Emperor Qi.
When Li Shimin learned about this situation, he regretted his decision and cursed at his ministers in the camp.
"I have long told you that the migration south is urgent. By then, most of the northern territory will still be in our hands."
"But it's only been a month or two, and the Qin army has already conquered cities and territories so quickly!"
"Come and tell me, how can I implement my plan?"
In fact, it’s not really the fault of the Qin army’s fast attack speed.
Mainly because the reputation of the Qin army for benevolence and righteousness was almost spreading throughout the Yan State.
The generals defending the cities and towns of Yan State either had no soldiers or were unable to resist.
Or they can sincerely submit to the Qin Dynasty.
A decent offensive and defensive battle only happened once or twice.
It was quickly conquered by the Qin army using human wave tactics.
In this situation, how could the Qin army not seize territory quickly?
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking.
In the entire camp, all the civil and military officials of Yan State fell into silence.
Now that things have come to this, what else can they do?
What's more, they originally did not agree with the plan proposed by Li Shimin.
I don’t know how long it has been silent.
Hou Junji suddenly said:
"Your Majesty, I do have a plan that might force the Qin army to withdraw."
Any plan?
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, "Tell me quickly."
Hou Junji nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please look at the map. Great Qin is located in the northwest. If Great Qi sends a surprise attack force, passes through Chu, and crosses Hangu Pass, we can directly capture Xianyang."
"As far as I know, there are very few defenders at Hangu Pass and Xianyang. Moreover, if our army wants to launch a surprise attack, we will not attack Hangu Pass."
