Chapter 755: Han Xin's Plan in the 9th Sky Army

Chapter 755: Han Xin's Plan in the Jiuxiao Army
At the same time, in Wenzhou, located in the north of Quezhou, the alliance of vassal kings represented by King Lu had divided Wenzhou into two, and half of the territory to the west of Wenzhou near Yunzhou was firmly controlled in Han Xin's tent.

The flickering candlelight illuminated his calm and wise face. At this time, Han Xin was holding a geomancy map, his eyes as sharp as torches, shuttling between mountains, rivers.

Pei Xingjian, a Confucian general with a refined demeanor, was sitting next to Han Xin, playing with a jade slip in his hand. His brows revealed a bit of bookish air and the confidence to strategize.

"General, Luowang's intelligence has confirmed that Quezhou has fallen into Xiang Yu's hands, and King Que has burned himself to death."

Pei Xingjian's voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

He knew what this news meant to Han Xin.

"The time is finally ripe."

Hearing this, Han Xin raised a faint smile and spoke softly, raising his eyes from the feng shui map to look at the vast sky outside the tent.

"Shou Yue, you and I both know that Long Junzuo and his Great Yong Dragon Bird Army are a rare elite force in the Great Yong Dynasty. The Great Yong Dragon Bird Army is a well-known Taoist army in the entire Tianwu Continent. If we attack by force, I'm afraid our losses will not be small."

"Not only is he powerful in combat, but even more rare is that Long Junzuo is loyal and resourceful. If King Que had not been defeated, it would have taken us quite some time to capture Wenzhou."

Han Xin spoke slowly, his tone revealing his appreciation for Long Junzuo and his clear judgment of the situation.

He had previously adopted the tactic of besieging but not attacking the only general under the King of Sparrow, Long Junzuo, and his Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army, who were now located in Wenzhou City.

In addition to the fact that the Dayong Dragon Bird Army is one of the few Taoist troops in the Dayong Dynasty, if they force an attack, even if they defeat Long Junzuo, the Jiuxiao Army under his command will also suffer heavy losses.

In addition, he has already roughly figured out Han Xin.

The King of Que, who only controls one state, would never be a match for Xiang Yu, who has already conquered the entire Jiangdong area and is eyeing Quezhou!
Therefore, after he surrounded Long Junzuo and the Dayong Longque Army in Wenzhou City, he kept waiting for an opportunity.

Waiting for the news that the King of Sparrows was completely defeated or even killed by Xiang Yu!
In this way, he might be able to directly persuade Long Junzuo to surrender, and completely bring the great general Long Junzuo and the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army under his command!
As for the conflict between Long Junzuo and Ye Hua and Ye Lin father and son, it is not a big deal.

As far as he knew, Ye Lin had fled into the mountains after being defeated in a surprise attack by the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army led by Long Junzuo.

Later, he was found by the King of Birds Army under Long Junzuo, but Long Junzuo did not treat Ye Lin harshly.

After all, the two sides have been rivals for half their lives. Even if they don't sympathize with each other, they will definitely not kill Ye Ling the moment they meet.

Therefore, according to the information detected by Luowang, Ye Lin should still be in Long Junzuo's hands.

Long Junzuo originally wanted to send Ye Lin to King Que.

Later, after being surrounded by Han Xin's Jiuxiao Army, he probably planned to use Ye Lin to negotiate with the Jiuxiao Army if the situation was really impossible.

"Long Junzuo is indeed a rare general, and the Great Yong Dragon Bird Army under his command is the best among the Taoist soldiers."

"If we can recruit it into the Jiuxiao Army, it will indeed greatly increase the strength of the Jiuxiao Army and add an important chess piece to the chaos in Dayong."

Pei Xingjian nodded in agreement, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"I deliberately surrounded them but did not attack them. Firstly, I did not want our Jiuxiao Army to suffer unnecessary losses. Secondly, I was waiting for this opportunity - waiting for the King of Sparrow to be defeated, waiting for Long Junzuo to feel despair, and waiting for the door to open for us."

Han Xin smiled slightly, stood up, walked to the door of the tent, looked at the Wenzhou city wall vaguely visible in the distance, and had a plan in mind.

"The general means..."

"Persuade Long Junzuo to surrender? This may not be easy. Long Junzuo is loyal to King Que, so how could he surrender easily?" A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Pei Xingjian's eyes, but there was also some doubt in his eyes.

"Keep your promise. The human heart is the most complicated thing in the world, but it is also the easiest to see through."

"Although Long Junzuo is loyal, he is not stupid. He knows that the King of Sparrow is dead and Sparrow State is lost. If he fights alone, the final result can only be destruction."

"What's more, loyal? Isn't this better!"

"After all, it wasn't our Jiuxiao Army that caused King Que to burn himself. In this case, Long Junzuo will be even less willing to fight to the death."

Han Xin turned around and looked at Pei Xingjian with a confident smile on his lips.

"We just have to give him a reason, one he can't refuse."

"Now that Xiang Yu in Jiangdong has completely occupied Quezhou, he will lead his troops north at any time. There will definitely be a battle between our Jiuxiao Army and Xiang Yu!"

Han Xin continued, saying that as the two had fought for such a long time, Han Xin thought he had a certain understanding of Long Junzuo's psychology.

"General, this plan is feasible! It not only demonstrates our sincerity, but also gives Long Junzuo a way out, giving him a reason to convince himself and his soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingjian's brows gradually relaxed and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"I wrote this in my own handwriting. I hope to impress Long Junzuo with my sincerity and let him know that only by surrendering can the lives of his soldiers be saved and he can continue to serve Dayong, just with a different lord."

Han Xin smiled, turned around and walked back to the desk, picked up a letter that had been prepared long ago, and handed it to Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian took the letter and read it carefully. He saw that the words in the letter were sincere, showing that Han Xin and even the commander-in-chief of the Jiuxiao Army Wen Zhong appreciated Long Junzuo's talents, and also analyzed the current situation.

Afterwards, Han Xin sent an envoy with his handwritten letter to Wenzhou City to meet Long Junzuo.

He, together with Pei Xingjian, continued to study the geomancy map of Wenzhou and formulated various countermeasures for Xiang Yu in Quezhou after he led his troops north.

As time went by, the atmosphere in Wenzhou City became increasingly tense.

Long Junzuo, who had been trapped in Wenzhou City at this time, was indeed shaken after learning the news of King Que's self-immolation.

He knew that if he continued to resist the Jiuxiao Army, he would probably end up dead and his army destroyed.

By then, not to mention revenge for the King of Sparrows, even himself and the King of Sparrows' last Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army would have to die here.

Now, Han Xin's letter of persuasion to surrender undoubtedly gave him a way out at this time.

Long Junzuo paced back and forth in the tent, holding Han Xin's letter tightly in his hand, his brows furrowed.

To be honest, Long Junzuo still admires Han Xin, who has been crushing him tactically and strategically during this period of fighting.

Although Han Xin was much younger than himself, on the battlefield, the wisest can be the teacher, and Long Junzuo was not so far away from realizing this truth.

Therefore, once he chose to surrender, it meant that he would no longer be the independent general, but would become a member of Han Xin's army.

But he also knew that this was the best option at the moment and the only option that could save the lives of his soldiers.
