Li Qin looked at Gu Deyuan, who had stepped forward, and listened to his analysis of the situation in Liaodong. He nodded in agreement.
In fact, many people present could see through his thoughts.
After all, apart from the fierce warriors who charged into battle, the generals who commanded the army had all seen it.
Based on the current situation, Liaodong is in danger.
"Sir, we must immediately send someone to see Wanyan Jian. Didn't Wanyan Jian say he would send people to support us?"
We sent someone to contact him, agreed to his request, and tried to get him to lead the Jurchen cavalry away from Liaodong, where they were located.
Once they leave, Liaodong will be safe.
Otherwise, if our army were to withdraw from Liaodong now, leaving Liaodong vulnerable, with Wanyan Jian, this fierce tiger, sleeping soundly right next to our bed in Liaodong, how could we expect our soldiers to fight with peace of mind?
You must know, our soldiers' families are all in Liaodong.
Looking at the generals in front of him, as well as the advisors left behind by the original owner, Li Qin knew that many of these were talents carefully selected by the original owner's father.
They have far more experience in handling various matters than I do.
He also has a very clear understanding of his own role: he is a person who uses people, not a person who does things.
All he had to do was control these people and keep them under his control.
After all, there are so many things to do in the world. If he really did everything himself, he would probably work himself to death and still not finish.
So what he needs to do is play the role of a talent scout and get those talented people to work for him.
What he needs to do is to control the overall direction while keeping the highest decision-making power and military authority in his hands.
He delegated those trivial tasks to his capable subordinates.
All he needs to do is keep these people under his control.
After all, he was just an ordinary person before he transmigrated, and at most he had studied for a few years, which wasn't much.
The people standing before him now are the elite of an era.
So he never understood why other time travelers were ordinary people before they traveled through time.
However, after time-traveling, he was able to outwit those historical figures by using his brains.
That's truly a miracle.
Those who leave their mark on history are no ordinary figures.
Every word they utter is carefully crafted; they are the cream of the crop, having fought their way up from among millions of others.
You, an ordinary person from before time travel, actually managed to defeat them.
As for Li Qin, after receiving the original owner's memories, he knew that he had transmigrated to a fictional world.
However, he dared not underestimate those old foxes in the Wu Kingdom's court.
He didn't think he could control them by staying in the room for a few nights and issuing a few orders.
He doesn't have that much confidence in himself.
All he can do now is gather the most elite people around him based on the original owner's memories to discuss countermeasures.
Let them analyze the current situation for themselves, and wait until they have thoroughly analyzed the situation.
After proposing a solution, he then decides whether or not to adopt it.
All you need to do is be the one who makes the final decision.
After listening to Gu Deyuan's analysis, I also fell into deep thought.
He had to admit that he truly was a talent carefully selected for him by the original owner's father.
After his analysis, he did indeed have a clearer understanding of the current situation.
He was already wary of Wanyan Jian.
He originally planned to send Zhang Hengshuo with 20,000 soldiers, as well as some local militia recruited from various places.
Furthermore, in Wanyan Jian's northern region, there is an alliance of various Jurchen tribes that oppose him. This pincer attack from the north and south can temporarily hold him off.
Looking back now, it seems that my initial preparations were far from adequate.
With only the 20,000 soldiers he left for Zhang Hengshuo, plus some temporarily recruited local militia, there was no way he could stop Wanyan Jian.
He had focused all his attention on the tiger that was the Wu Kingdom court, and had completely ignored the threat posed by the venomous wolf that was Wanyan Jian behind him.
But what can we do now?
Although he had more than 100,000 troops under his command, he had to face far too many enemies and potential enemies.
He simply couldn't handle it.
Li Qin looked at Gu Deyuan in front of him and asked:
"You said we should win over Wanyan Jian, but do you have any good ideas?"
After hearing Li Qin's words, Gu Deyuan continued:
"Sir, we are now fighting against the treacherous officials who have controlled the Wu court, so it is absolutely impossible for us to fight against Wanyan Jian."
Moreover, my suggestion that we should win over Wanyan Jian wasn't just a casual remark; I was already quite confident in our ability to do so.
After hearing Gu Deyuan's words, Li Qin waved to him again, signaling him to continue.
At Li Qinde's prompting, Gu Deyuan continued speaking to Li Qin:
"It's difficult for us to take the throne now, and it's equally difficult for Wanyan Jian to make the same choice."
You must understand that although we have the fierce tiger of the Wu Kingdom court in front of us, we also have the wolf of Wanyan Jian behind us.
However, the tiger that is the Wu Kingdom court and the wolf that is Wanyan Jian are not in an alliance.
Conversely, the Wu court regarded Wanyan Jian and other Jurchens as Tartars and barbarians.
In other words, right now, we, the imperial court, and Wanyan Jian are at a level of mutual hostility.
However, because of the old general's presence, we still maintain a nominal, semi-alliance with Wanyan Jian.
Currently, in terms of our strength ranking, the imperial court is the strongest, we are second, and Wanyan Jian is the weakest.
It has always been the third uniting with the second to fight against the first.
I've never heard of a third uniting with the first to eliminate the second.
Once the second-ranked person is eliminated, the third-ranked person will not be far from death.
At that time, the Wu court would probably just use force to wipe him out.
They completely wiped out his Jurchen tribe.
Wanyan Jian could not possibly have been unaware of this, given his gradual rise to his current position and achievements.
That's why he wrote to the superior, saying he would send Jurchen cavalry to support us.
This was his proactive statement to us.
They hope to unite with us to fight against the imperial army.
That's why I was so confident in winning over Wanyan Jian, as I just guessed.
After listening to Gu Deyuan's analysis, most of the people present nodded in agreement.
Li Qin, sitting in the main seat, nodded expressionlessly.
Truly worthy of being the person left behind by the original owner's father.
His vision and analysis of the situation are absolutely top-notch.
Gu Deyuan, who was standing in the center of the hall, stepped forward, bowed to Li Qin, and said:
"Now that we've taken over, what we need to do is also show Wanyan Jian our attitude."
"Let him lead the Jurchen cavalry to enter the pass and support us."
