Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 181: God of War's Countermeasures
There is a legend in the Wei Dynasty about Bei Guo and Dong Li. The Guo is Guo Da and Guo Minghuai, and the Li is Li Jing and Li Yaoshi. The two are of similar age and have similar battle records, but even Guo Da himself admits that Li Jing is a little bit stronger than him.

Just imagine, Lao Guo, who dared to point his finger at the prime minister and scold him, now personally admits that someone is a little bit better than him. What kind of concept is that?

When the Wei Dynasty discussed this, the title of God of War always revolved around these two gentlemen, and Li Yuan was not even qualified.

It happened that Li Jing was in the capital city seeing a doctor, so Emperor Hongbao directly ordered Tian En to invite Li Jing over. After all, Li Jing was almost sixty years old now, and he had already shown signs of old age after years of fighting. He no longer had the heroic spirit of his former years, and from a distance he looked like a skinny old man. No one could guess that this was Li Jing, the recognized military god of the Wei Dynasty.

"Pharmacist, how are you feeling lately?"

"Thanks to your majesty, the prescription of King Sun is indeed effective. I am much better now."

"That's good, that's good." Emperor Hongbao smiled helplessly: "If I get a disease as serious as yours, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive."

"Your Majesty, please don't say that." Li Jing bowed and said, "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. You will surely be able to turn this crisis into safety."

Emperor Hongbao just smiled. In fact, he knew about this, and so did Li Jing. The Imperial Hospital would never prescribe a proper prescription for the emperor to cure his illness. They could only prescribe a mild prescription that was warm and harmless, and would not kill him even if it did not work. This was an unspoken rule, and there was nothing to say. After all, if they really prescribed strong medicine and it worked, it would be fine. If it did not work, they would arrest people based on the prescription, and that would mean the confiscation of their property and the extermination of their clan. As for those mild prescriptions, anyway, the royal relatives would not die from taking these prescriptions, so they could find anyone they wanted.

Emperor Hongbao knew it very well, so all he could do was to resist with his own strength. If he succeeded, everything would be fine. If he couldn't, he would die.

"Okay, let's not talk about these unlucky things. I asked the pharmacist to come here today because I have some confusion about the siege of Luoyang. I hope the pharmacist can give me some advice."

Li Jing, who had just sat down, stood up suddenly, and said with great fear: "Your Majesty, please don't shorten my life like this. I can't bear it."

"The sage said that knowing what you know and knowing what you don't know is the way to know. Pharmacist, please don't be like this. Please take a seat. Tian En, you come and tell the great general of the Wei army about the siege of Luoyang."

The words "God of War" uttered by the emperor himself really made Li Jing blush, but it would be a bit immature to continue to refuse at this moment.

So Li Junshen sat there quietly and listened to Tian En's story. The whole process was very detailed, and there might be some details that were not in place, but they were quickly automatically filled in in Junshen's mind.

The overall process is now very clear. It is a process in which a person first led his men to use thunder and fire from heaven and earth to stop Wang Shichong from attacking the city, and then led his troops to escape from Li Shimin's encirclement, and then burned Wang Shichong's food and grass, guided Guo Ying's pursuit, and forced the remnants to turn to Luoyang for a battle with Li Shimin's troops.

After listening to this, the God of War frowned, and then he heard Emperor Hongbao ask: "Pharmacist, why did he lead the troops west?"

Li Jing slowly opened his eyes at this moment, with some suspicion: "Please tell me the location of the various tribes in the Central Plains at that time, Eunuch Tian."

Tian En quickly brought the report, which had a marked map in it. He couldn't understand it, but the God of War could. When Li Jing saw the marked positions of each unit, his eyes froze.

"Pharmacist, how is it?"

"Your Majesty... then I will dare to say a few words."

The God of War unfolded the map, picked up the brush handed to him by Emperor Hongbao, pondered for a while, organized his words, and then spoke.

"During the siege of Luoyang, there was nothing special about the siege. It was just that some of the things that could repel the enemy were better, and the fire attack was unexpected. It was not something very clever. Although the battle was beautiful, it was only a matter of time before the city was captured. The real highlight was the chain of strategies here, which can be regarded as a strategy that can be regarded as a military strategy."

Li Jing's words made Emperor Hongbao listen carefully. At this moment, he heard Li Jing continue to say: "The first strategy is to use Li Shimin's troops to intimidate Qin Qiong's troops. I don't think Luoyang City can know the progress of Li Shimin's troops. Luoyang City tried every means to delay Li Shimin's troops. But at this time, Li Shimin's troops did not rush to help. I think they planned to wait for Luoyang City and Qin Qiong's troops to consume each other."

Li Jing raised his head and glanced at His Majesty: "This is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it. If I were leading the army, I would do the same. From now on, it will be a truly exciting battle."

As Junshen Li spoke, he became a little excited. He tapped the map with his fingers: "The person who planned it used three perfect strategies. The first perfect strategy was to lead Qin Qiong's troops to the east. It didn't matter whether Qin Qiong's troops went east or not. Whether it was a project or going east, the result would be the same. But going east is the best outcome, at least it can avoid the consumption of supplies and food. The second perfect strategy is to defend the city gates to the death, no matter who comes, and announce to the world that the gates cannot be opened without the order of His Majesty. This put Li Shimin's troops in a dilemma. He has only two ways to enter Luoyang. One is to attack Luoyang and the other is to wait for the order of His Majesty to enter the city. The people guarding the city threw the problem to Li Shimin to decide."

Emperor Hongbao nodded repeatedly while listening, and then continued to ask: "What about the third foolproof plan?" "The third foolproof plan is that the defenders of the city did not sit and wait, because at that time, the besiegers had changed from Wang Shichong's troops to Li Shimin's troops. Li Shimin's intentions were obvious. It was probably not a solution to defend Luoyang to the death. Sooner or later, they would have to open the gates to the east for reinforcements. So at this time, he used a strategy of driving away the tiger to devour the wolf. And the troops he drove away were not Wang Shichong's troops, but Guo Ying's troops."

Li Junshen pointed his finger at Zheng Z's position: "Guo Ying's army and Wang Shichong's army are fighting a decisive battle here, and both sides are naturally tense. At this time, the 1,000 cavalrymen came and went like the wind, and the light cavalry who ran away after fighting were suitable for the plain. So they galloped away and took the opportunity to burn Wang Shichong's food and grass. When the armies faced each other, the food and grass were burned, and the other side would take the opportunity to attack."

At this point, Li Jing looked up at Emperor Hongbao and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to know why they want to drive Wang Shichong's remaining troops to Luoyang, in fact, this person is not after Wang Shichong's troops but Guo Ying's troops. If Your Majesty still cannot understand, just remember that the various tribes in the Central Plains are fighting for Luoyang City, and all your questions will be easily answered."

Emperor Hongbao was obviously stunned for a moment: "Is Guo Ying's tribe also like this?"

"And when he does this, no one knows whether he will take it or not, so let him take it if he wants to."

The God of War is the God of War. With just a simple analysis, he dug out the root of the chaos in the Central Plains - Luoyang City.

Some people want to protect Luoyang City while some people want to take Luoyang City. Those who want to protect Luoyang City are using those who want to take Luoyang City to restrain each other. In the end, no one can get Luoyang City and the city can only remain as it is.

After realizing this, Emperor Hongbao clapped his hands in amazement: "At such a young age, he is so capable! Pharmacist, what do you think of this leader?"

Li Jing nodded. "Only a young leader would take such a risky action. It is somewhat of a gamble. But it must be said that no one in the world could think of a better way. According to common sense, Luoyang City must be taken by Li Shimin's troops. No matter how Li Shimin's troops take Luoyang City, it is impossible to make them give it up. But this man's brilliant move ruined Li Yuan's best opportunity to enter the Central Plains in the past ten years."

Emperor Hongbao couldn't help but shudder after hearing this. Li Yuan would definitely not rebel, but Li Yuan was a warlord who would only follow orders and not decrees. Wang Shichong's rebellion had already disrupted the entire situation in the Central Plains. If his Li family took the opportunity to seize Luoyang City, he really didn't know what method he would use to make them withdraw from Luoyang.

Who knows, he might even be accused of forcing his subjects to rebel. Moreover, the Central Plains is now in pieces and it will take a while to clean up. If the court loses Luoyang City at this critical juncture, its control over the Central Plains will basically be gone.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, please listen to me..." Li Jing had a stern expression but a sincere attitude, looking like an old minister.

"I think that although this leader has the talent to lead the troops, he is not calm and composed enough. From what Your Majesty said, he is still a child of eighteen or nineteen. I think it would be better to ask him to guard the pass with me for a few years. After being tempered by the north wind, he will surely become a great man in the future."

Don't say that Emperor Hongbao is not smart. As soon as Li Jing opens his mouth, Emperor Hongbao knows what he is going to do. Oh... No wonder this old guy refused to comment on Xia Lin at the beginning. If you ask him to comment, he will repeatedly say that there are flaws. But asking him to find flaws is nothing more than a gamble.

Emperor Hongbao has never led an army, but he has never eaten pork, and he has never eaten pigs running. Who leads an army to fight a war without gambling?

At this critical moment, Pharmacist Li has taken off his disguise. It seems that he wants to ask people to go with him to Shanhaiguan to get some fresh air for a few years. You, Little Li, have the same thoughts as Sima Zhao. You can't wait to show on your face that "I am not in good health and I need an apprentice. Please give him to me. After I train him well, he will definitely be a great commander in the future."

"I don't mind, but he is Guo Laoqi's adopted son. Do you really want him?"

Li Jing rolled his eyes to the sky, thinking: "No, you said earlier that he was Guo Laoqi's man. If he was his man, why did you ask me to come and comment on him? Aren't you making things difficult for me and Guo Laoqi? You are the emperor... Ouch!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Emperor Hongbao said with a smile: "I really don't mean to sow discord between you! Alas, Bu Laoqi is in Lingnan to suppress the rebellion, and you are the only one left in the capital who can be trusted. He doesn't even know about this matter yet."

"Oh?" Li Jing raised his eyebrows: "It is a secret report...oh...the minister of the new emperor."

"You are so smart! Pharmacist, Pharmacist, how can you be so smart!" Emperor Hongbao slapped his thigh and said helplessly: "If everyone in the world is as smart as you, I will have no way to live."

Seeing Emperor Hongbao like that, Pharmacist Li was both angry and amused, so he shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, if this person leads the army, his future will be limitless. I heard before that someone brought the refugees from the grassland to attack the barbarian king's court. These two will definitely be the left and right arms of the Great Wei in the future."

"Oh, it's him again~ Pharmacist, they are the same person."

Li Jing was stunned, his eyelids popped out, and then he stretched his head forward: "No, he leaked it when he was drinking soup on the Naihe Bridge? Is this Wei Qing or Huo Qubing?"
