Chapter 350: Kill eight birds with one stone

Views:

Wang Yu is the son of Wang Chuzhi, and now he is serving as an official in Hedong. After knowing the truth and listening to Qian Muran's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.

Only Zhu Li fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Zhu Li, whose soul comes from the future, knows things perhaps a little more than anyone else present.

Who is Wang Chuzhi? He is the younger brother of Wang Chucun, the governor of Cangzhou and Yiwu Army.

Since Wang Yu is Wang Chuzhi's son, he is Wang Chucun's nephew.

In ancient times, elders were very indifferent to the estrangement between their children and nephews; the more prominent and united the family was, the more obvious this was.

Many people who read ancient books will find that, although a person is the only son of his father, he is not the eldest in the family and is even the youngest. This is the reason.

Wang Yu worked under Li Keyong. Although he was only Wang Chucun's nephew, Qian Muran still speculated that the reason why Li Keyong was trying to win over Wang Chucun and still gained everyone's approval was the same.

However, according to historical records, after Wang Chucun's death, the position of Jiedushi of Yiwu Army was not passed on to his younger brother Wang Chuzhi, but to his adopted son Wang Gao.

So how did Wang Chuzhi come to power later? It was all thanks to Zhu Quanzhong.

Not long after Wang Gao took over the Yiwu Army, Zhu Quanzhong invaded the border, and Wang Chuzhi was sent out by Wang Gao to resist Zhu Quanzhong's invading army.

As the saying goes, dragon brothers are like tiger brothers. Wang Chucun was glorious throughout his life, and Wang Chuzhi was equally extraordinary. He won a great victory and defeated Zhu Quanzhong's invading army in one fell swoop.

At that time, Zhu Quanzhong had already become famous throughout the world. Wang Chuzhi defeated the Bianzhou army and immediately won the support of all the soldiers.

With great power in his hands and the army on his side, Wang Chuzhi wanted to kill Wang Gao and take over as the governor of Yiwu himself. After the news leaked, Wang Gao fled to Jin and abducted Wang Chuzhi's son Wang Yu.

In history, Wang Yu was forced to work under Li Keyong by his father.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a Zhu Li suddenly appeared and completely disrupted the course of history; however, the inertia of history was still strong, and this Wang Yu actually joined Li Keyong's army.

This made Zhu Li wonder why Wang Yu chose to join Li Keyong

Although Qian Muran was very sure, in Zhu Li's opinion, this was just one of the possibilities.

However, he did not question the other party. Instead, he looked at Qian Muran seriously and said solemnly: "Wang Yu served in Hedong. If the reason is really as you speculated, what do you plan to do?"

Zhu Li didn't think that Qian Muran, a quiet but very smart young lady, was just saying Wang Yu casually. Since she mentioned this person specifically, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

Zhu Li saw it, and naturally everyone else saw it too. Now everyone seemed to want to know why.

Sure enough, when Qian Muran saw everyone looking at her curiously, she immediately continued, "Your Majesty, you hold the four states of Ying, Ji, Zhao, and Shen in your hands. You are in control of the four states of Ci, Qin, Jin, Ze, Lu, Guo, Xing, and Shen. You are the most powerful one in the world!"

"What will he do if he loses Wang Chucun as his ally? Will he just sit there and wait for death?"

"Of course not. Although Wang is young, he is extremely smart. In this difficult time, requesting external assistance is his only way to survive." Before Qian Muran finished speaking, Yuchi Jin immediately spoke and responded decisively.

"Yes, right now in Weizhou, Le Yanzhen and the Zhu brothers are fighting fiercely. If Wang Chucun doesn't help Wang Yu, will he ask for help from Youzhou?" Geng Yu squinted his eyes and guessed, "It seems that only Li Keju in Youzhou can be used as a helper."

"Madam is wise." Qian Muran immediately praised Yuchi Jingong.

Then she turned her head and looked at Geng Yum, saying solemnly: "General Geng is wrong. If the king wants to mobilize foreign aid, he can also ask Li Quanzhong and Liu Rengong for help, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Muran looked at everyone meaningfully, as if he had not finished speaking.

"Hahaha, you're joking, madam. Li Quanzhong and Liu Rengong are both allies of Wang Chucun. Even if they don't care about the friendship between them and Wang Chucun, do they dare to send troops given their current situation?" Geng Yu sneered at Qian Muran's statement.

Now, Gao Yuan is stationed in Jizhou, suppressing Li Quanzhong in Pingzhou.

Zhuya led his troops out of Jizhou, crossed the Great Wall, and with the cooperation of Wu Dao, overturned the Dongxi's headquarters and completely brought most of the areas under the control of the original Raole Military Governor's Office under the control of Heshuo.

The county seat of Yingzhou was Liucheng. Zhu Ya set up a large camp along the Qinglong River and pinned Liu Rengong down in Liucheng, preventing him from showing his head.

In Geng Xin's view, Li Quanzhong and Liu Rengong, the two brothers in distress, have both become cowards. Qian Muran even said that Wang Xi would ask them for help. Isn't this a joke

Zhu Li and Yuchi Jin frowned at Qian Muran's words and fell into deep thought.

If we look at it from the perspective of later generations, Yingzhou's geographical location is very important. It is the base for resisting other small countries such as Goryeo. As long as Yingzhou is not lost, the elite troops of the Han Dynasty can attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

Even at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yingzhou was close to the Bohai Kingdom ruled by the Wang? If Wang? asked Li Quanzhong and Liu Rengong for help, would these two opportunists once again lead the Di people outside the Great Wall to attack the south

Asking for help from the Di people would bring many benefits to Li and Liu.

As for Li and Liu, the situation they are facing now may collapse in an instant. Asking for help from the Di people can solve the urgent problem. Secondly, when the Di people knock on the gate, they can take advantage of the situation to rob and expand their power. How could they not want to ask for help from the Di people

However, if they only rely on asking the Di people for help, the Di people outside the Great Wall will simply ignore them.

These two guys have criminal records.

They had cooperated with the Khitan and Xi people once, which not only led to the defeat of the 200,000-strong Di-Han coalition force, but Liu Rengong also took the opportunity to usurp the throne, killed Tules, and occupied the Eastern Xi's lair. Would the Di people still dare to trust them

However, once Wang?, who controls the four states, comes forward and uses them as a bridge to ask for help from the Di people outside the Great Wall, the Di people may be tempted as long as the conditions are generous.

"Madam, are you referring to the Di people outside the Great Wall?" Yuchi Jin suddenly raised his head, looked at Qian Muran, and asked first.

When Qian Muran saw that Yuchi Jin had understood the hidden meaning of her words, her beautiful and clever eyes instantly filled with smiles. She sniffed the noodle-like snot into her nostrils with two "huffs", "huffs", and gave Geng Mu a fierce look before she said respectfully to Yuchi Jin, "Madam is wise."

The question and answer between Yuchi Jin and Qian Muran immediately awakened Geng Xin. He realized that he had underestimated the Di people. However, he was very angry about losing to a young lady in terms of wisdom. He just insisted, "So what if the Di people come? My general once defeated the 200,000-strong Di-Han coalition with only 20,000 warriors."

"If they are not afraid of death, then let them come. I will definitely kill them without a single survivor."

However, naturally no one paid attention to his anger. Zhu Li thought for a moment and immediately said, "In the northeastern region outside the Great Wall, the largest Di people force is the Khitan."

"Since the Yaonian clan replaced the Daha clan and began to rule the Khitan, the Khitan's military and political power fell into the hands of the nobles of the Diela tribe. The Khitan invaded Youzhou twice on a large scale, and each time the nobles of the Diela tribe participated, which undoubtedly proved this point."

"On the contrary, Hendejin Khan, the leader of the Khitan, is quite weak."

"Let's not talk about whether Hen Dejin dares to agree to their request and launch a third invasion of our Central Plains; even if he agrees, he must obtain the consent of the Diela tribe."

"The Diela tribe has defeated me three times. If they dare to invade the northern border of our Tang Dynasty again, I will definitely wipe out the Khitan and eliminate this trouble forever." Zhu Li's words were sonorous and his tiger eyes were murderous. It was obvious that he was not just talking, but had really made up his mind.

Faced with the current overlord of the grasslands outside the Great Wall, who would dare to talk about annihilating the other side

Looking at the entire Central Plains, except Zhu Li, does anyone else have the courage to do this

Even if they have the courage, do they have the confidence

"Haha, the general is so heroic." Qian Muran seemed to be waiting for Zhu Li to say this.

She traveled thousands of miles from Nanzhao and followed Zhu Li and his party to the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. What was she trying to do

With her martial arts and intelligence, isn't it good for her to enjoy the world and be the best in the world? Is it necessary for her to come and be a maid for Yuchi Jin

Since she came here, she must have her purpose, and it is obvious that only Zhu Li can help her achieve this purpose.

"General, have you ever thought about killing several birds with one stone?" Zhu Li said, letting Qian Muran feel relieved, and then he suggested.

"Killing several birds with one stone?" Zhu Li, Yuchi Jin, Geng?m and others all looked at Qian Muran. Could it be that this lady revealed Wang Yu's identity just to offer advice to Zhu Li

Everyone could not help but have this guess. Zhu Li also looked at the other party and said solemnly: "I wonder if my lady has any ingenious plan to resolve this catastrophe. I really want to ask for your advice."

Upon hearing this, Qian Muran looked around at everyone and found that everyone was looking at her curiously, so she said excitedly: "It's very simple, open the gate of Youzhou and let the Di people enter."

Everyone's expression changed when they heard this, especially Zhu Li. When he heard Qian Muran's words, his face instantly became much gloomier.

Yuchi Jin, who knew Zhu Li's temper, couldn't help but reveal a hint of worry when he looked at Qian Muran.

She knew that the young lady had no ill intentions, but as soon as she opened her mouth she violated Zhu Li's taboo, which really made Yuchi Jin worried about her.

Qian Muran obviously didn't notice the change in Zhu Li's expression. He only heard her continue with great enthusiasm and pride: "Li Keyong attacked Wang?, Wang? will definitely ask for help from outside."

"He can't ask Li Keju for help, let alone the general. Both of you are much more powerful than Wang? If you two use the excuse of sending troops to support him and station troops in Chengde, then Wang? will be a joke, like rejecting a tiger and letting a wolf in."

"The best target for your help will naturally become the Di people outside the Great Wall. In this way, as long as the gates of Youzhou are wide open, the Di people will surely march straight in and rush into your territory."

"At that time, Li Keyong, Wang Xi, Li Quanzhong, Liu Rengong, and the Di people who came to help, were all fighting in a group. The general took advantage of the situation and attacked. With one stone, eight birds were killed, and Hebei could be secured."
