In the afternoon, in Yecheng and the Imperial Palace, Li Li took the battle report he had just received and explained to his son the details of the battle reported in the battle report.

"Dugu Yongye, the governor of Youzhou, was defeated and surrendered near Boye. The result was such a result, but Governor Wang had some effort to achieve such a result."

Li Li and his son squatted on the ground. He used branches as pens to draw tactical diagrams in the mud.

"In short, Governor Wang used a trick of doubting troops, which obviously targeted opponents like Dugu Yongye who was cautious in leading troops..."

Li Shi was curious when he heard this: "How did Governor Wang determine the opponent's military style? Could it be that there is an insider who follows the army?"

"No, it's more about judging based on his resume." Li Li analyzed it carefully.

Dugu Yongye, who had been guarding Luoyang before, had been engaged in the Zhou army for a long time, showed that Dugu Yongye's style of using troops was more "stable", very cautious, and not very aggressive.

After all, the strategy of Qi in Luoyang was to "maintain" and seek stability.

Now, Dugu Yongye leads his army south. Because the situation in Hebei is very unfavorable to the Qi army, the Youzhou cavalry under his command, as the most combative main force in the field, cannot easily take risks.

Once the Youzhou cavalry is annihilated, it means that Qi State will not have many decent field forces in Hebei and cannot restrain the Chu army.

Li Li analyzed that the marching governor Wang Lin judged Dugu Yongye would not fight easily based on the other party's situation and his usual style of using troops, and was very vigilant.

Being highly vigilant, easily thinking too much, and being suspicious because of the turbulence.

So Wang Lin used the trick of suspicion to make the other party go around.

In the early morning, a large number of cavalry passed by near Boye, so that the Qi army scouts discovered it, misleading Dugu Yongye to think that this was inducing the Qi army to pursue it.

Dugu Yongye is cautious and has a high probability of doing the opposite. He goes south to Xindu, and in fact, the same is true.

After the Youzhou cavalry arrived at the Hutuo River, they found a temporary water storage dam upstream. Dugu Yongye must have suspected that there was an ambush on the south bank.

I didn't want to fight to the decisive battle, so I turned around and returned to Boye.

However, Wang Lin used the "empty dam scheme" to deal with Dugu Yongye, and there were no ambushes on the south bank of the Hutuo River.

Another marching governor Liang Miao, the army under his command, was in the Jizhou area. Although his troops cooperated with Wang Lin's battle, they did not set up ambush on the south bank of the Hutuo River, but waited far away.

When the Youzhou army returned to Boye, they found that Boye had been captured by the Chu army, so they planned to avoid the battle and take a detour.

Wang Lin calculated that the other party would inevitably stop near a small river to rest, feed horses, and drink horses so that the next long-distance transfer was carried out, so she poisoned the upper reaches of the river.

A special medicine was poured into the river, causing all the horses of the Youzhou army to have diarrhea.

This medicine comes from a certain herb. It was once used to plot against horse racing to manipulate the results of the competition. After the case was solved, the formula of this medicine was recorded by the Youshi.

Made in large quantities, used for special purposes, and has miraculous effects during combat.

The "miraculous effect" caused the Youzhou army to lose its horses, the cavalry turned into infantry, and was attacked by Wang Lin and Liang Miao's troops from both sides, unable to escape, so they had to surrender.

As a result, the strongest field army in Hebei was easily "swallowed" by the Chu army.

Next, the wars in Hebei will be much easier to fight, especially Youzhou. After most of its troops are lost, how long can it last when facing the Chu army at the city?

Li Shi and Li Yang had another question: "How did Governor Wang determine that Dugu Yongye's troops who returned to the army would drink horses near that small river?"

Li Li replied: "This is a question of probability and it is impossible to be fully confident, but it is very likely that the other party will stay nearby on the way back."

"If the calculation fails, then we can only find another way. It is normal for both sides to plot against each other during the war."

Li Li's explanation gave Li Shi and Li Yang a further understanding of how to "use their brains to fight".

When fighting, you have to use your brain, but the other party will also use your brain. If you calculate each other carefully, it is indeed not easy to defeat your opponent.

The father and son were studying the battle, and a guard came over and reported to the emperor something: "Your Majesty, the remains are found."

Li Li stood up after hearing this: "Have you found it? Let's go and take a look."

The father and son moved to a corner of the palace, where there was a pool and a pit on the ground beside the pool. Many soldiers were holding hoes and shovels around.

There was a white cloth on the ground in the crowd, with a remains on it.

Li Shi and Li Yang went over and saw that the remains were not big and looked like the remains of a child.

The remains were wearing a gold belt with a red robe and a bun on their head scattered, and they were wearing boots on their right foot and bare left foot.

Li Shi and Li Yang have seen many dead people, so they are not afraid and carefully looked at the remains.

Li Li explained: "About five or six years ago, there was a strange sign in the sky, so the then Qi Lord Gao Zhan suspected that he was his nephew, and King Gao Bainian had a problem with Leling King Gao, so..."

"I called my nephew into the palace, found a reason to kill him, and then..." He looked at the pool next to him, "and then threw it into the pool, which was said to be a hundred years old, dyed the pool red."

"Later, Gao Bainian's body was buried beside the pond."

Li Shi and Li Yang looked at the remains and felt sighing.

Gao Bainian was the prince of Gao Yan, the leader of Qi, but Gao Yan had seized the throne of his nephew Gao Yin before becoming the king of a country. So when he died, he gave the throne to his younger brother Gao Zhan.

This exchanged for my younger brother to let him go for a hundred years.

Although Gao Zhan agreed at that time, he still did not let Gao Bainian go in the end.

Just like when Gao Yan broke his oath and did not let his nephew Gao Yin go.

"This is the power of role models." Li Li summarized, "Once everything is set a precedent, it will inevitably become a routine. In this world, the possibility of making an exception and not taking an example is too low."

When the Chu army captured Yecheng, Li Li did not rush to enter the palace to live, but wanted to carry out a "big cleaning".

One of the "projects" in the cleaning was to dig out the dead people secretly buried in the palace and bury them elsewhere.

These secretly buried people include royal families who were tortured, such as Gao Bainian, and palace maids and eunuchs who were secretly killed were buried somewhere in the palace after their death.

But the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace knew more or less where some of the dead were buried. Now, Li Li mobilized people to dig out his bodies one after another.

Only after the big cleaning will the palace be cleaner and the bloody smell will be lighter.

Li Li didn't want the Gao family's bloody internal struggle to "infect" his family.

He asked his sons to see Gao Bainian's remains to let them take them as a warning.

The Gao brothers have no kinship between each other and have no minimum respect for their female relatives. The brother bullies their brothers, the uncle kills nephews, and the brother takes possession of his sister-in-law. The unrestricted ** makes the whole family crazy.

Then it quickly collapsed and perished in madness.

Gao Yang forced his sister-in-law to occupy his sister-in-law, so his queen Li Zu'e could not escape the fate of being occupied by his brother-in-law Gao Zhan.

Gao Yan seized the throne as his nephew and violated his oath to kill his nephew, so his crown prince was not destined to be with the throne and was also killed by his uncle.

The cruel internal struggle of the Gao family made the prosperous family kill most of their own people, and the bloodiness of the Liu Song royal family who killed each other.

Li Li looked at his two sons and said earnestly: "Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, now you understand why you should read more history books, right?"

Li Shi and Li Yang nodded, but Li Li didn't know how much their sons could listen.

Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, was he good enough to the royal family? Should he fight intra-fight or intra-fight?

In troubled times, it is not only order, but also people's hearts.

The times are like a huge vortex, bringing everyone into it. The closer people to power, the closer they are to the center of the vortex.

For hundreds of years, cruel reality has plagued emperors of all dynasties: they value the royal family, and the royal family rebelled; if they do not value the royal family, the country will be taken away by outsiders.

If the emperor supports the power of the crown prince, the crown prince is highly likely to "take over early".

If the emperor suppresses the crown prince, then the crown prince will not be able to take up the throne in the future.

Everyone understands the truth and everyone will say it, but once it is corroded and tempted by power, how much human nature can be left in the power?
