Immediately afterwards, Liang Gaozu and Qin Wang asked a few more detailed questions.

Regarding these questions, Li Hongyun answered what he could answer, and said that the situation was unclear or nothing to worry about when he couldn't answer it. In short, he could fool them all.

If this kind of strategic planning wants to convince others, it must be full of details.

For example, in the history of "Longzhong Dui", there are only a few short sentences in the historical records. Why can you directly make the other party a confidant and entrust all important affairs of the country to yourself?

It must be because the two also said a lot of content that was not recorded in the history books.

For example, if you say you want to enter Shu and take Jingzhou, then the other party will definitely ask, how to take Jingzhou? How many local forces in Jingzhou can fight for? Which ones should be drawn in and which ones should be attacked? What if external forces interfere in this process?

If you can't answer these questions, then your so-called strategy is simply a castle in the air and cannot be convincing.

The reason why the real Longzhong pair can be so famous is not only because it almost perfectly predicted the direction of history, but also because it must be full of various details when talking about it.

For example, analyze how many forces there are in Jingzhou, how many factions the gentry are divided into, who are the leaders of these factions, what are their personalities, what are their political demands, and who should be recruited according to their different characteristics and demands , who to attack...

Even in the process of analyzing forces, it can be guaranteed, for example, someone is my friend and can be a helper; someone has connections with my family and can try to develop; someone has conflicts with other forces and can be used...

Only after all these details are analyzed can people be convinced, and as time goes by, these predictions will all come true, which will make this strategic plan an eternal classic that will go down in history.

However, Li Hongyun's ability at this time obviously cannot do this.

His understanding of the situation at this time is not necessarily higher than these natives. After all, he doesn't even know many important figures who have not been seen in history in this era.

But Li Hongyun's advantage is that he has read the later scripts in advance, and what he knows are all the images that have been confirmed in history, and he is still a child of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Since he is young and inexperienced, it doesn't matter if many details are missing, Liang Gaozu will not be serious.

Conversely, it is precisely because of his young age and lack of experience that when certain judgments made come true, Liang Gaozu is even more amazing.

The age problem, in turn, has become a moderate advantage.

In short, through the magic stick performance under the blessing of "Smart Tongue", the King Qi played by Li Hongyun successfully gained a vital position among the three of Liang Gaozu, Prince, and King Qin.

When he encountered difficulties later, he would offer advice to Liang Gaozu, and basically there would be no obstacles.

Finally, Liang Gaozu made up his mind.

"Okay! Then I'll find an excuse to summon Gao Junya, Wang Wei and others to Jinyang Palace to discuss matters, expose their collusion with the Turks in public, wipe out the roots, and then issue a call to arms!"

In fact, in the whole process of raising troops, Liang Gaozu's will still played a decisive role.

But through this performance, Li Hongyun gave everyone the illusion that he was the mastermind of Jinyang's uprising.

Even if he is not the mastermind, he has at least played a secondary role, even higher than King Qin.

After all, King Qin's persuasion for so long was useless, and he made the final decision as soon as he stepped out.

Thus, Li Hongyun's goal was initially achieved.

...

Since then, the script has basically developed according to the content planned by Li Hongyun.

The first key decision after leaving Jinyang was the battle between Huo Yi and Song Laosheng.

According to the original historical development, at this time it was raining heavily for days on end, Liang Gaozu wanted to retreat, King Qin tried his best to persuade him not to retreat, and then used aggressive methods to force Song Laosheng to fight.

As a result, during the battle, the prince fell off his horse, and Song Laosheng took advantage of the victory to pursue, causing Liang Jun's left and central troops to be shocked and retreat.

At the critical moment, King Qin led two hundred cavalry to rush down from the hillside, attack behind the enemy's line, turned the tide of the battle, and successfully chased him to Huoyi, where he beheaded Song Laosheng.

The second key decision is the confrontation between Hedong and Qu Tutong.

According to the original historical development, the battle could not start for a long time, Liang Gaozu hesitated, Pei Ji advocated to eliminate Qu Tutong before crossing the river, and King Qin advocated that soldiers should cross the river and enter Guanzhong immediately.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liang Gaozu chose a compromise plan, part of which was to encircle the east of the river and part to cross the river. However, it turned out that King Qin was right.

In these two critical decisions, Li Hongyun also continued to play his true character as a magic stick, and made an accurate prediction of the war situation.

In the battle of Huoyi, he first fully supported King Qin to persuade Liang Gaozu not to retreat, and then asked Liang Gaozu to deliberately guard against the formation of the left army and the middle army when arranging troops, and suggested that King Qin's cavalry be ambushed at high places , It has the effect of turning things around at critical moments.

When confronting Qu Tutong in Hedong, he not only agreed with King Qin's decision and asked Liang Gaozu to quickly cross the river to seize Yongfeng warehouse, but also actively asked to follow King Qin to quickly expand his power and play an important role in the process of capturing Chang'an.

In fact, most of these choices were proposed by King Qin or other counselors. Liang Gaozu was the final decision maker. Without Li Hongyun, history would have gone like this.

But Li Hongyun either stated these plans in advance, or supported one of them when everyone hesitated, creating an illusion: as if he was the one who made the final decision.

Although it was Liang Gaozu who made the final decision, it seemed that every time King Qi spoke, Liang Gaozu made up his mind.

Moreover, afterwards it always proved that King Qi was right.

Although King Qin has been proven to be right many times, and has a high degree of agreement with King Qi, King Qi can often weigh multiple options when giving suggestions, so he feels more mature and safe to Liang Gaozu.

For example, when confronting Qu Tutong, King Qin suggested to cross the river immediately to capture Yongfeng warehouse.

The suggestion given by King Qi is that Liang Gaozu can keep some soldiers and horses to continue to confront Qu Tutong, while he and King Qin only need half of the soldiers and horses.

Because Li Hongyun knew very well that even if he wanted all the soldiers and horses, Liang Gaozu would not give them.

So it only needs half of it. Anyway, in the real history, King Qin can quickly kill all the forces around Chang'an with only these tens of thousands of people, and develop rapidly.

In this way, the impression left on Liang Gaozu was: King Qin was good at fighting and saw things clearly, but King Qi was even better.

Because Qi Wang can not only see what Qin Wang sees, but also comprehensively integrate the actual situation, and always give the plan that best suits his wishes. Moreover, King Qi seemed to be more confident than King Qin, and it turned out that this confidence was correct afterwards.

Although this kind of self-confidence is actually a fox pretending to be a tiger, the "tiger" King Qin can't see through it, let alone other people.

As a result, King Qi's strategic and tactical abilities rose wildly in Liang Gaozu's heart.

In the process of following King Qin to level Chang'an's surroundings, Li Hongyun also deliberately participated in some schemes.

In fact, Li Hongyun is a bit hypocritical in this link, because he can't give any good advice to those people who have never heard of their names, whose strength is unknown, and who don't know how to win in history.

But he also has a way.

Through the gift of eloquence and a series of previous actions, he has completely won the trust of King Qin.

Therefore, as long as the king of Qin formulates a plan, he nods and agrees.

Not only would King Qin not think that he was fooling around, but he would be very happy, thinking that his farsighted brother had thought of going with him.

In this way, Li Hong used the method of pretending to be a tiger, starting from Jinyang to raise troops, followed the Qin King all the way to capture Chang'an, and established a good prestige.

Although he is still very young, no one has dared to despise him since ancient times.

Then, the Liang Dynasty was established, Liang Gaozu proclaimed himself emperor, established a prince, granted the titles of King Qin and King Qi, and changed Yuan Wude.

After doing so much preparation work, finally came to the battle of Qianshuiyuan.

After King Qin fell ill, Li Hongyun didn't give Liu Wenjing any face at all, and he just took over the command from King Qin.

At this time, he was the king of Qi, and he led a conspiracy after the rise of troops in Jinyang, so the king of Qin and Liang Gaozu trusted him even more. Although Liu Wenjing was still a little unconvinced, there was nothing he could do.

Li Hongyun carried out King Qin's combat ideology and couldn't hold on, so he kept confronting Xue Ju.

According to the original history, in the first battle of Qianshuiyuan, King Qin fell ill in July, so Liang Jun was defeated. It was not until November that King Qin led his army to fight the second battle of Qianshuiyuan again, and won after a stalemate of more than 60 days.

But King Qin's illness will definitely not last until November, and it will probably be almost healed by the time the troops are withdrawn in August.

Even if King Qin's illness is not recovering quickly and he is allowed to rest for a period of time as an excuse, it should be difficult to delay it for a month.

Therefore, Li Hongyun only had less than two months.

It is very difficult to win in two months, because even if the king of Qin came to fight this battle in person, he would definitely have to fight for at least one or two months until Xue Ju's food was almost consumed and the soldiers were exhausted. Do it, and the battle will decide the world.

But Li Hongyun couldn't wait for such a long time, because waiting for King Qin to recover from his illness would at most give him equal credit with King Qin, and he would not be able to achieve the goal of replacing King Qin at all.

After thinking hard for a while, Li Hongyun had a solution.

This opportunity was Xue Ju's death on the ninth day of August in the first year of Wude.

According to the original historical development, the first battle of Qianshuiyuan took place in July. King Qin came to the battlefield on the fourth day and fell ill, and was defeated on the ninth day.

Afterwards, the Liang army withdrew its troops, and until August, Xue Ju's army besieged Ningzhou. Although they were repelled, they still had the upper hand overall. Xue Ju considered taking advantage of the victory to attack Chang'an directly.

Unexpectedly, he happened to be sick at this time, and died of illness on the ninth day of the ninth day.

His son Xue Rengao was in the army and immediately succeeded him.

But after all, Xue Rengao's qualifications would be insufficient if he did not have Xue Ju. So when King Qin came back with Liang Jun in November, they fought for more than 60 days and successfully won.

In fact, when Xue Ju suddenly fell ill or even died of illness, it was the best time to attack.

But in history, Liang Jun had just experienced a big defeat at this time. Although Liang Gaozu was going to let King Qin lead the army again, it would definitely take a long time to re-deploy troops and raise food.

So the troops were not dispatched until November.

These three months were actually enough for Xue Rengao to succeed him and stabilize the situation as much as possible.

But Li Hongyun pinpointed this point in time and made a plan that only those who can predict the future in advance can make.

On the fourth day of July, King Qin fell ill, and he was given command as King Qi.

The stalemate lasted until August, during which cavalry were continuously sent to harass Xue Ju's grain roads and logistics.

At this time, because the Liang army was not defeated, Xue Ju's army certainly did not dare to besiege Ningzhou, but continued to confront.

On the ninth day of August, around the time of Xue Ju's death, they took advantage of the chaos to take them away.

The plan is pretty good, but whether it can be successful or not depends on the execution link.

So in order to be safe, Li Hongyun added a talent for horse bow and horse proficiency to ensure that in the most glorious battle, he, as King Qi, can come to the battle in person.

Even if he can't show off like King Qin, he must at least take the lead in charging.

Because Li Hongyun knew very well that if he didn't fight in person, he would be just a counselor at best.

If the King of Qin was just a strong general, then it would be okay for him to sit in the rear and control the military power, but King Qin is an all-around talent, so if he didn't go to the front line to fight side by side with the soldiers, his prestige would still be impossible to surpass the King of Qin.

...

Everything went according to Li Hongyun's plan.

After King Qin fell ill, Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing really came to see him and asked to fight.

In the history of this free battle, the biggest blame should be Yin Kaishan, who has the strongest desire to fight. And Liu Wenjing was in the position of exercising military power in place of King Qin at that time, and he failed to listen to what King Qin said, but was fooled by Yin Kaishan, and he should also bear the main responsibility.

This time, after Yin Kaishan fooled Liu Wenjing, he came to fool the seemingly young King Qi again.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, King Qin was worried that you would not be able to retreat from the enemy, so he told you to fortify the wall and clear the field, and wait for him to recover before going out to fight.

"However, His Royal Highness King Qi, you are wise and powerful, strategizing, and our generals are all fighting for the first place with high spirits, how can we miss this opportunity?

"The last general thinks that the bandits must despise us when they hear that the King of Qin is sick, and that it is time to gather a large army to fight and deter the enemy with force!

"If it's a big victory, then your Highness King Qi can take this opportunity to prove yourself; if it's a small victory, you can also use this to deter the enemy so that they don't dare to underestimate us, and it will also boost the morale of our army."

Li Hongyun chuckled and said in his heart that I believed in your evil.

Big wins and small wins are all wins, so why don't you talk about it in case of a disastrous defeat?

If I really listened to your battle, then I would be the first person responsible.

However, he couldn't afford to be angry with Yin Kaishan, because Yin Kaishan didn't mean to mess things up on purpose, he just fought against some not so hard forces before so that he felt good about himself, as the saying goes, he was drifting away.

Li Hongyun smiled slightly: "The time has not come yet."

Yin Kaishan was stunned for a moment: "The so-called 'opportunity' of the king refers to..."

Li Hongyun looked like a godstick: "The achievement of destroying Xue Ju is already in my king's pocket.

"But at this time, the king of Qin was newly ill, and Xue Ju came here again. It was the time when the fighting spirit was at its peak. Since the enemy army wants to fight our army, we must not do what they want.

"There are many internal conflicts in Xue Ju's army, and the eldest son Xue Rengao can't convince the people. Once there is a change, the soldiers will have the heart of divorce.

"When the time is right, a war can be settled."

Yin Kaishan still didn't quite understand: "The general understands, but the 'timing' mentioned by the king refers to..."

Li Hongyun smiled slightly: "I have watched the sky at night, Xue Ju only has a month's life left.

"Thirty-five days later, it will be time for the decisive battle!

"Before that, anyone who dares to speak out will be killed!"
