Chapter 143 The most subtle strategy often only requires one step.

Gao Rang looked like an honest man, but he had many calculations in his heart.

But he also knows that if a person wants to plan something, the more links there are, the greater the possibility of failure.

Even if there is no plan left, it will be even more difficult to do.

Take the Han Emperor's battle at Changshan as an example. Whether it was opening a market in the open, digging underground tunnels, adding thunder, attacking Zhang Yiping from a flank, or outflanking the navy.

If any part of this series of plans fails, they may not be able to defeat the Jiaozhi army so smoothly and take the Jiaozhi County directly.

It's too risky, but often the key to success lies in the final word.

Even if some masters of strategy have really planned a large game of chess, they may not be able to calculate every move in the chess game accurately.

Just like people planning an important thing in life.

Even if you make a careful and detailed plan, there may be many surprises when it comes time to take action.

Many times, you still need to take a step and take a look.

Therefore, the method of giving up is very simple.

Hongmen Banquet, direct poisoning, clean and neat.

Moreover, the Han Emperor had previously entertained South Vietnamese leaders at a banquet in the military camp.

This also allowed Gao Rang to make certain predictions about what would happen at another banquet.

Yes, even if you ambush the swordsman, it may not be possible.

If you dance with a sword, it is the same as using a sword in front of Guan Gong.

Not only was the Han Emperor capable of lifting the cauldron, but he was also accompanied by Dian Chu and his eight hundred elite imperial guards.

With the abilities of these people, even if the Emperor of Han did nothing and just raised a cauldron to add to the fun, it would be enough to kill him directly.

But poisoning is different.

Gao Rang was determined to win this.

No matter whether you can lift a cauldron or have unparalleled archery skills, if a glass of poisonous wine falls into your stomach, you will still die.

As soon as Emperor Han died, his goal was achieved.

Even if the Han army outside the city went crazy because of this, and even lost their minds and massacred the city directly, causing the whole country of Jiaozhi to be slaughtered, it didn't matter.

None of his business.

He had been in love with Donghu a few years ago, and he was a member of the Great Khan.

Besides, it just serves as a cover for his poisoning.

The Jiaozhi Kingdom has been defeated, its army is gone, and there is no chance of a comeback.

From Cochin's point of view, no one would take action during the banquet.

If he takes action, even if he can really do something to the Han Emperor, he will definitely die when facing the Han army outside the city.

Therefore, the Han army will definitely not be more prepared for this.

However, because of the great victory and the tens of thousands of prisoners captured, as well as the incompetence and flattery shown by the King of Jiaozhi, the Han Emperor naturally became arrogant and relaxed his guard.

These are all opportunities!

Gao Rang was not afraid of death, nor was he afraid of what would happen to the royal family and the people of Jiaozhi in the end.

What he cared about was that the death of the Han Emperor would be enough to buy half a month for the Great Khan.

As for being despised by others after being poisoned, he didn't even care about such trivial matters.

People are going to die, why do they still care about their reputation?

After the great khan has destroyed the great Han Dynasty, and then we reminisce about his achievements, we will still have to erect a monument if we can’t preserve them all!

For this reason, Gao Rang even went to the artificial water feature himself, played the guqin and grilled skewers.

Not to mention, Liu Ke was also attracted.

At first glance, it seems quite abstract. What is this?

But when you calm down and take a closer look, this scene is indeed somewhat fairy-like.

Think about it, there is a beautiful artificial water feature with flowing water.

Accompanied by the melodious sound of the guqin, the entire waterscape is filled with gurgling water, making the atmosphere even more peaceful and charming.

From time to time, there is still a faint smoke floating up.

The green smoke, the sound of water, and the sound of piano and harp merge into an indescribable beauty, which is doubly stunning.

Just smelling the aroma of barbecue in the smoke will make you more and more appetizing.

"I'll have a drink with you all!"

Liu Ke couldn't help but move his fingers, so he simply drank a swig to show courtesy, and then started to feast.

When Gao Rang saw this, he knew the time had come.

He immediately stopped his guqin and hurried forward to pour the wine himself.

He doesn't worry if others fail.

There is something special about this wine.

Yuanyang Pot, there is a partition in the middle of the wine pot, which divides the pot into two. One side is filled with ordinary wine, and the other side is filled with poisonous wine.

It is said that Lu Pheasant had done this before. After she established the young Liu Gong as emperor, she was worried that the young emperor Liu Gong's mother, Empress Zhang, would endanger her power.

Lu Pheasant took the nine-curved mandarin duck pot secretly stored in the palace, filled it with poisoned wine, and activated the mechanism during the banquet in the palace, causing Queen Zhang to be poisoned and died without realizing it.

The handle of the pot has a mechanism, and with a little manipulation, you can use one pot to pour out two glasses of different wines.

Gao Rang covered the handle of the pot with his sleeves and secretly poured out the wine.

Liu Ke noticed the difference in the pot, couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and sighed:

"This little thing is quite unique."

Gao Rang nodded and said:

"This was also made by the craftsman who made the water feature."

Liu Ke burst into laughter. As expected, just like the artificial waterscape, this pot is also quite abstract.

White-fronted tall pot.

The body of the pot is a common wine pot in the Han Dynasty and can be used to hold wine.

But under the body of the pot, there are three more legs than an ordinary wine pot.

The upper body is in the shape of a pot, and the lower body is in the shape of a wine baron.

It can not only pour wine like a jug, but also hold it up and drink it like a bartender.

Gao Rang was also embarrassed.

Unless he had to, he wouldn't want to use such an eye-catching white-fronted tall pot to pour wine.

But this mandarin duck pot is a secret in the palace, where will he get it from?

It was this pot, with its half-pot and half-jue design, that allowed him to improve a little or two and become the structure of the Yuanyang Pot.

Gao Rang took a sip first to show that there was no problem.

It was just a small sip, not too much.

In order to make the poison more subtle, he added arsenic to the wine.

This arsenic is not colorless and odorless, but it has a very light taste.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to smell it. Even those with good noses, even if they are not ordinary people, cannot smell it if they are not careful.

He was also afraid that he would accidentally make a mistake.

Moreover, since this pot was remodeled, it is not impossible that the wall of the pot is leaking.

It's not good to drink a little wine with arsenic on your own.

Gao Rang certainly had a death wish.

But after the incident was completed, being killed by the angry Han army and being poisoned by his own poison were completely different things!

Several surrounding ministers and several imperial guards who accompanied Liu Ke into the palace also drank together and drank them all in one gulp.

Dianchu didn't drink. The small glass of wine was not enough for him to take half a sip.

There's no point in drinking like this.

He looked at the white-fronted tall pot in Gao Rang's hand, feeling a little lost.
