A few months later.

Northeast of Luoyang City, Mang Mountain.

In Wang Shichong's camp.

Wang Shichong laughed loudly, came to the tent, and grabbed Lu Heng's hand: "Mr. Wei Zheng is really a great talent! As he said, he really defeated Li Mi!"

"When the world is peaceful, I will make you the prime minister. Please don't refuse, sir!"

Lu Heng smiled slightly, still maintaining the mystery of an outsider: "Now it's just that the first plan has been fulfilled. Mr. Zheng is a man who wants to bring peace to the world. Don't be so impatient."

Wang Shichong only slightly restrained his smile, but his joy was still beyond words: "Yes, sir, your advice is correct!"

This period of time was like a dream to him.

In fact, some surprises still occurred during the implementation of the strategy, but Wei Zheng solved all these problems in the first step like a masterful calculation.

The first is the strategy of recruiting Li Mi.

This strategy was originally very smooth. Other important ministers in the court, such as Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others, fully agreed with this proposal without any resistance.

This is normal, after all, this strategy in history was thought up by Yuan Wendu and others.

But what Wang Shichong didn't expect was that these people actually wanted to fake it and make it real!

Yuan Wendu and others actually wanted to confer official titles such as Li Mi Taiwei, Shangshu Ling, etc.

Wang Shichong was very unhappy because these official positions were too high. If Li Mi really destroyed Yu Wenhuaji without any pressure and then returned to Luoyang, his power would even be overshadowed by Li Mi.

He and Li Mi fought repeatedly, and all his soldiers had a bloody feud. If Li Mi used his power to draw other important ministers together to scheme against him, wouldn't he die without a burial place?

According to Wang Shichong's original idea, recruiting Li Mi was just a cover, and he could just give him any official position. As long as he let him fight with Yu Wenhuaji, he would reap the benefits.

But Yuan Wendu and others wanted to make a fake show, which made him a little at a loss.

At this time, it was Wei Zheng, played by Lu Heng, who stepped forward to advise him.

First of all, Lu Heng told him that all this was actually within the plan. Li Mi was not stupid. He would definitely not be able to win over people with empty promises alone. If he wanted to drive away tigers and devour wolves, and let him attack Yuhuaji, he must use practical methods. Real benefits.

Official positions such as Taiwei and Shangshuling must be given.

So, what if Li Mi really defeated Yu Wenhuaji and returned to Luoyang with the support of many important ministers in Luoyang City?

It's very simple. Can't we just kill all these people first before Li Mi comes back?

Wang Shichong suddenly realized.

In fact, historically, this is exactly what he did.

Historically, this strategy was proposed by Yuan Wendu, and Li Mi was given many rewards. Wang Shichong was very dissatisfied because of this. He did not want to serve as an official in the same dynasty as his enemy, so he told his subordinates that once Li Mi came to Luoyang , if we become his subordinates, you will all die without a burial place!

These words were meant to motivate the soldiers, but they also intensified the conflicts between him and Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others.

Therefore, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others planned to set up an ambush to kill Wang Shichong when he went to court. However, Wang Shichong learned about this, so Wang Shichong directly led troops to attack, and finally integrated the entire Luoyang.

By the time Li Mi finally killed Yu Wenhuaji and returned to Luoyang, Wang Shichong had completed the internal rectification, and then the anti-Japanese and Anti-Japanese War started.

Therefore, this is also a precious strategic window period for Wang Shichong.

Lu Heng knew the script a long time ago, so he directly planned for Wang Shichong: take this opportunity to kill Yuan Wendu and others and monopolize power!

What happened after that was basically consistent with the historical script.

Wang Shichong killed other important ministers in Luoyang City and effectively took over the power of the government.

Use signs from ghosts and gods to boost morale and fight against Li Mi, who has just returned from conquering Yuhuahua.

In real history, Li Mi had a good chance of winning this battle.

At that time, although Li Mi suffered heavy losses in the battle with Yu Wenhuaji, the elites of the inner government and many horses were lost, Wang Shichong also had a disadvantage, which was the lack of military rations.

Li Mi originally planned to hold on until Wang Shichong ran out of food and grass before making a decisive battle. Pei Renji, Wei Zheng and others also agreed with this view.

If he can insist on not playing, then if he continues to delay, Wang Shichong's chance of winning will be slim.

But his generals Chen Zhilue, Fan Wenchao, and Shan Xiongxin said: Wang Shichong's soldiers were originally few, and they had been defeated repeatedly. They were frightened by us. We have many people, so what are we waiting for if we don't attack directly? What's more? The newly attached soldiers in Jiang and Huai are also waiting for this opportunity to make achievements. It is time to take advantage of the high morale of our army to bravely defeat the enemy!

This is very interesting.

Chen Zhilue and Fan Wenchao were surrendered generals from Yuhuahua and there, so it was reasonable for them to seek a battle. Because they had just attached themselves and had not yet made any military exploits, they were eager to have a chance to show their faces.

Otherwise, how can you gain a foothold in the military as a surrendered general?

But Shan Xiongxin also supports playing in the war, which seems a bit wrong if you look closely at it.

Moreover, in the subsequent battles, Shan Xiongxin guarded Yanshi and was unable to withstand Wang Shichong's attack at first. Later, when Li Mi failed for the first time, he stood still when Wang Shichong crossed the Weishui River to attack Li Mi, causing Li Mi to lose his last chance to make a comeback.

Therefore, many people in later generations believed that Shan Xiongxin was a young man.

It's just that he is not Wang Shichong's second son, but he wants to take revenge on Li Mi. After all, Li Mi killed Zhai Rang to take over, and Zhai Rang was Shan Xiongxin's old master.

But whether Shan Xiongxin is incompetent or really harbors alien intentions, only he knows.

In short, in history, this war failed because of repeated instigation by Chen Zhilue, Fan Wenchao, Shan Xiongxin and others.

In this dimension, although Wei Zheng, played by Lu Heng, could recreate this scene without doing anything, he still made some arrangements.

This was not only to ensure Li Mi's defeat, but also to further strengthen Wang Shichong's trust in him.

In order to continue to influence Wang Shichong, Wei Zheng, played by Lu Heng, had stayed with Wang Shichong and did not go back to find Li Mi.

But he still kept in touch with Huo Yunying and Li Hongyun.

He asked Huo Yunying, who played Qin Shubao, and Li Hongyun, who played Cheng Zhijie, to try their best to trick Li Mi into fighting. Li Mi had never seen such a posture before and immediately decided to go ahead.

Then, Wei Zheng, played by Lu Heng, came up with several small strategies one after another, such as finding a wizard to do the magic dance to boost morale before sending out troops, secretly selecting hundreds of cavalry to sneak into Mang Mountain as surprise troops, etc.

The most important one was to have Wang Shichong find someone who looked like Li Mi in advance, kill him in public when he invaded the camp, and have all the soldiers shout together: "We've caught Li Mi!"

Sure enough, Wang Shichong finally won the battle. Li Mi's army collapsed instantly, and a large number of generals were desperate and surrendered to Wang Shichong.

In fact, these strategies are all recorded in history books.

It may be that Wang Shichong came up with it himself, or it may be that other counselors in his account came up with it.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s all Wei Zheng’s idea now.

Lu Heng answered according to the standard and immediately won Wang Shichong's complete trust.

Wang Shichong was shocked to find that Wei Zheng was a god at predicting events! Is this what God has given me to bring peace to the world?

From the Luoyang coup to the defeat of Li Mi, Wang Shichong had only two reactions when he heard Wei Zheng's strategy.

The first one is: Yes, why didn’t I think of it before?

The second one is: Yes, I think so too!

Therefore, after defeating Li Mi, Wei Zheng, played by Lu Heng, completely won Wang Shichong's trust and could even influence most of his actions.

At the same time, the Battle of Qianshuiyuan had also begun in Liang State.

In history, the Battle of Qianshuiyuan almost caused the collapse of the Liang Kingdom, but in the end it was the King of Qin who turned the tide.

But for players, this is a question that has been done countless times. How difficult is it?

Taking advantage of Xue Ju's death, he went straight to the A's.

But when the news reached Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong didn't take it seriously.

Because after Lu Heng's brainwashing, in Wang Shichong's eyes, Liang Guo was just like Xiao Mian in the south, a fat sheep with a large territory but little ability to conquer.

So what if I beat Xue Ju? Xue Ju is also a rookie!

Moreover, in this battle, the players took advantage of Xue Ju's death from illness, which made Wang Shichong feel that no one in Liang State was really good at fighting, and they were all just lucky.

Moreover, the prophecy given to him by Lu Heng did not mention Xue Ju at all, but only said that Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang would attack the Liang Dynasty and cause great trouble to the Liang Dynasty.

Therefore, Wang Shichong still focused on Dou Jiande in Hebei.

In the decisive battle with Li Mi, Wang Shichong completely believed that Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie were sincerely willing to surrender to him.

Because in this decisive battle, Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie first urged Li Mi to go to war, and then after the battle, they frantically fished and fished and stood still, which accelerated Li Mi's defeat.

This is completely consistent with what Wei Zheng said in his handwritten letter.

And their motives were also reasonable: they wanted to avenge Zhai Rang, but they also felt that Wang Shichong had more hope of unifying the world.

Therefore, after the battle, Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie took the remaining troops to join Dou Jiande and continued to be Wang Shichong's undercover agents.

Then, under Lu Heng's constant instigation, Wang Shichong finally made up his mind to attack Dou Jiande.

…

It was a very difficult task for Wang Shichong to attack Dou Jiande.

In real history, after Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi, he began to plan wholeheartedly to usurp the throne.

From March of the second year of Wude to March of the third year of Wude, Wang Shichong was basically thinking about adding Jiuxi, allowing Emperor Huangtai to abdicate, and suppressing the rebellion.

Although some military operations were carried out, they were all small-scale and did not have any clear combat policy at all.

Sometimes he went west and occupied several enclaves in Liang State, and sometimes he went east and had some friction with Dou Jiande.

He concentrated on internal affairs, but after governing for a long time, Li Mi's subordinate generals realized that he was completely incompetent and defected to Liang.
