Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 491.4: Amusement, State of War

Jin Qinwang’s impact on the war previously in the northeast, no matter how the He family deceive themselves, they all can’t deny it. If Jin Qinwang has the need, then they simply can’t refuse. In the last few months, Jin Qinwang all didn’t have any movement, so the He family could only be patient and not make a move. At present, receiving Jin Qinwang’s words, even if He Zhen Wei has yet to return, it was impossible for the He family to ignore. Regardless of the reason within, all in all, Jin Qinwang has his own aim. It’s not like he will let Qi Yuan sink into an unfavorable situation.

Moreover, if really needed, the imperial court will naturally draft, no need to personally volunteer.

Under this kind of circumstance, He Shi Hai finally couldn’t endure anymore, and one night, he just climbed Jin Qinwang Manor’s wall.

Just, as soon as he jumped down, he just got caught on the spot.

Climbing over the wall, this kind of thing, ultimately was a bit awkward. However, little tyrant He was only awkward for a moment, and afterwards, just shamelessly expressed that he wanted to see Jin Qinwang.

The people of the manor also didn’t stop him, directly having him taken to the study.

And in the study, the world map hung overhead. On the table, an enormous sand table was displayed, the situation in the northwest all laid out. It wasn’t just Li Hong Yuan present, the Left Commander-in-Chief Qin Tian Ming was also there. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

Qin Tian Ming met eyes with He Shi Hai. Towards the state of affairs in the capital, He Shi Hai didn’t understand, but he wasn’t interested in understanding either. In fact, he didn’t even have any impression of Qin Tian Ming. That’s why, he didn’t have the slightest reaction at all, obediently greeting Li Hong Yuan. However, it wasn’t the same for Qin Tian Ming, but in the end, he was also an old fox, so on the surface, he similarly didn’t show anything, but on the inside, he was somewhat speechless. Jin Qinwang sure enough was impressive, to even be able to have the He family taken in.

It was obvious, seeing He Shi Hai at this time, he won’t think that he was merely just ‘sparring buddies’ with Li Hong Yuan.

Li Hong Yuan didn’t even lift his eyes, “Since you’re here, come have a look too.”

The Xiongnu army’s numbers, the rough distribution, as well as which areas were West Xiongnu and which were North Xiongnu, were all marked out.

“Although not a hundred percent accurate, it’s still eighty percent. What all thoughts do you have?”

Qin Tian Ming was shocked at Li Hong Yuan’s ability to grasp the information. One has to know, at present, the information regarding the Xiongnu army in the imperial court’s hands is still just some fragments, yet Jin Qinwang was able to reach this step. That’s why, the other princes getting played in the palm of his hand really wasn’t wrong in the slightest. And for the princes that were still living in the palace, yet to open their own manor, they were actually very fortunate, unlike their older brothers, who were all about to get played to death, yet still kept in the dark. That’s why, towards that son-in-law of his, Qin Tian Ming actually sympathized a lot from the bottom of his heart.

He Shi Hai however didn’t have that many thoughts. Who was this, Jin Qinwang, the only person that was able to have him effortlessly beaten down, so regardless of how shocking of a thing he did, wasn’t that all natural and expected? As a qualifying fanboy, he just needs to think about the question that the person he revered asked. “Isn’t this battlefront drawn out a bit too long? In the very beginning when receiving the emergency reports, it was still just within a province, but now, it has already drawn out to as many as three provinces. The Xiongnu’s appetite is truly quite big.”

Shortly after, Li Hong Yuan inserted a few more small flags. It was the deployment of Qi Yuan’s troops. One flag represented ten thousand people. After inserting, the situation became even more clear.

“Qi Yuan’s troops are also completely scattered. Qi Yuan’s army actually prevail in combining forces. Going against Xiongnu, the more scattered, the more disadvantageous.” Qin Tian Ming looked at the sand table, reaching out and pointing, “Fu Yun Ting right now is in this position?”

“Correct.” Li Hong Yuan had the flag representing the main commander inserted in. “The place Fu Yun Ting is guarding isn’t wrong.”

After all, right behind him is the mountain pass. If unable to pass through, it’s very difficult for the Xiongnu army to go deeper into Qi Yuan. Although it’s not that there aren’t other paths, but those weren’t suitable for marching. Even if using small troops, they might instead get quickly wiped out by Qi Yuan’s forces who were much more familiar with the terrain. In Fu Yun Ting’s plans, there will certainly be this step.

“Although not wrong, the situation is still quite unfavorable. He’s ultimately still young, and in the past, never led troops before, so don’t know whether or not he can manage the army.” Qin Tian Ming frowned.

“Whether he is able to or not will depend on his performance from now. The state of affairs is also just unfavorable and not one-sidedly weak. There’s plenty of ways to reverse the situation.” Li Hong Yuan tossed the remaining flags in hand and sat down behind the desk, his two hands crossing together as he stared at the sand table, his expression exceptionally calm.

“Wangye, does West Xiongnu and North Xiongnu not get along?” He Shi Hai stared at the sand table for a moment and then suddenly asked.

“Not get along? Shouldn’t be the case. Aren’t there many places where their armies are mixed? If they really don’t get along, then shouldn’t they each go their own way?”

“Clearly that’s just a diversionary tactic. If our side can just tell at a glance that they don’t get along, then it’ll be very easy to formulate a battle plan. Once their alliance falls apart, as long as we impede one side, it’ll be Qi Yuan army’s turn to press forward. Compared to Xiongnu’s dauntlessness, Qi Yuan further excels in strategy, no?” He Shi Hai said.

“Little General He, is this a guess, or you are certain?” Qin Tian Ming solemnly asked.

“Of course it’s a guess. The wars in the northwest, I know nothing about. Just looking at this, how can I know the specifics. If really able to know, then what are we still wasting time here for, wouldn’t it just be lifting the hand and extinguishing Xiongnu, and also the other countries. Qi Yuan would’ve long became the strongest force, where would there still be room for others.”

Qin Tian Ming tugged the corner of his mouth. Towards these youngsters that ‘have many ideas’, no matter how sly of a person, still can only feel helpless.

If they really don’t get along, using schemes to tear apart the alliance, the rate of success was relatively high. If not, then their scheme might just get exploited by the enemy.

Of course, using schemes, this kind of thing, as long as the final outcome has yet to come out, then everything was hard to say. No one can be certain that their own plans will a hundred percent succeed.

“Whether they get along or not, does it matter?” Li Hong Yuan indifferently opened his mouth. In one country, there’s even the possibility of internal conflict, so for the alliance of two countries, that further goes without saying.

He Shi Hai and Qin Tian Ming both tacitly chose to shut their mouth. In their eyes, Jin Qinwang already has a plan.

“Wangye, what about Former Wei and Southern Qi? What’s their situation? If they all attack Qi Yuan at this time, then…………”

Qi Yuan was fertile and vast, but for such a piece of big fatty meat, the geographical location truly was a bit disadvantageous, practically just surrounded by a pack of wolves.

“Temporarily don’t have any movements. Former Wei currently has internal conflict, so don’t have the energy to pay attention to Qi Yuan. As for Southern Qi, it’s hard to say.”

Southern Qi has long arranged many spies and secret agents in Qi Yuan. To say that Southern Qi didn’t have any ambitions towards Qi Yuan, no one would believe.

In Li Hong Yuan’s past life, when Qi Yuan was fighting Xiongnu, Southern Qi didn’t make any moves, but later when Fu Yun Ting met with mishap, and Qi Yuan lost a large amount of soldiers, sinking into a slump, Southern Qi just brazenly made a move. However, not long after battling, Southern Qi just suddenly withdrew, because a rebel force appeared inside Southern Qi, and moreover, was quite aggressive. Southern Qi’s imperial court had no choice but to recall the army invading Qi Yuan, stabilizing the inside first.

Have to say, Qi Yuan’s luck was pretty good. Otherwise, no matter how capable Li Hong Yuan believed himself to be, afraid he would also be powerless.

In this life, Li Hong Yuan has long stirred up the waters in Former Wei and Southern Qi. The effect was quite obvious in Former Wei, but Southern Qi’s interior still didn’t have any movements. Li Hong Yuan also didn’t dare to assert that his plan will be effective. That’s why, towards whether or not Southern Qi will send troops, he was still uncertain. Moreover, many things have already changed. Then, it was also possible for unforeseen changes to appear in the other countries’ interior. Li Hong Yuan was very calm, and also very rational. The events in his past life were just used as a reference to a certain degree. He won’t have it completely substituted into the present.

However, regardless of whether or not Southern Qi will send troops, he all had a corresponding plan.

“Alright, why don’t you both go back, and take care of your own business.”

“This subject will take one’s leave.” Qin Tian Ming was deeply aware of Jin Qinwang’s true nature, if able to not encounter, then it was best to quickly beat it, thus he was quite perceptive.

He Shi Hai however wasn’t the same, shamelessly going before Li Hong Yuan, “Wangye, about that…………”

Li Hong Yuan casted him a glance, “Want to go onto the battlefield, there’s plenty of opportunities, but not now. Go back and obediently stay put, and also don’t think about looking for this prince. If not, this prince has ways of locking you up for a year or so. Never mind seeing people, you won’t even see a single insect. If you don’t believe, you are free to try.”

He Shi Hai thought of that scene, just feeling unbearable. Thus, he could only hang his head and leave, leaving the same way he came.
