"Your Highness, my subordinates understand that your highness has become the lord of a vassal by virtue of defeating the Great Cannibal; therefore, he is very worried that if he is defeated by the Great Cannibal, the position of the lord may be shaken. Just as Mo Yuan is worried about losing a great defeat and his prestige will be damaged.

Therefore, the subordinates suggested that the troops were sent to Khurashan, and his subordinates would take charge in name, and his highness would secretly follow him; if his subordinates defeated the Dashi Army and successfully killed hundreds of thousands of Dashi people, his subordinates would tell all the soldiers that this battle was actually commanding in the army. If his subordinates defeated the battle, it was all their own responsibility and had nothing to do with His Highness." Liu Qi said.

"This, this..." Li Gong was stunned when he heard these words.

After hearing Mo Yuanla talk about the second reason, Li Gong was worried that if he sent troops to Khurashan to defeat him, it would affect his rule in Anxi. Therefore, although he admired Ma Kuang and others who supported the troops, he was already inclined to not send troops. But he never expected that Liu Qi would come up with such a way that could not only avoid the impact of defeat on the rule, but also send troops, which was the best of both worlds.

Moreover, for Li Gong, Liu Qi's initiative to make such a suggestion can also serve as another use of killing two birds with one stone. In the three-year war with the cannibals, while the Anxi army won many battles, Liu Qi also won many battles and gained great prestige. Liu Qi's prestige was not enough to threaten Li Gong's position as the king of Anxi, just like Han Xin, the two great heroes in the early Han Dynasty, and Cao Shen could not replace Liu Bang.

But with such a person who has made great contributions by his side, Li Gong felt uncomfortable and had already begun to think about how to suppress him.

But Liu Qi proposed such a method. If Liu Qi lost, his prestige would be damaged and no longer have an impact on Li Gong. If he wins, Li Gong can pick fruits. As Liu Qi's prestige increases, Li Gong's prestige will also increase. Whether it wins or loses, it will be beneficial to Li Gong.

"But, how can I explain to the soldiers why I didn't openly command?" Li Gong was already moved, but he thought of this question and asked immediately.

"You can tell the soldiers that it is confusing Bingbo Silin." Liu Qi replied: "Since the Battle of Luzhou, your highness will personally visit the front line in every battle and have never stayed in the rear. If you attack Hulushan, your highness will not show up in public, Bingbo Silin often thinks that the Anxi army just wants to grab one, not to launch a large attack, so that our army can be despised, so that our army can be surprised.

Your Highness, this is also a strategy that kills two birds with one stone. It can be explained to the soldiers later, and it can indeed confuse Bacillin."

"Slaying two birds with one stone? OK." Li Gong couldn't help but smile when he heard this word.

"So, did Your Highness agree to send troops?" Liu Qi immediately asked after hearing this.

"This is a long-term plan. In addition to this issue, there are other problems to be solved." Li Gong was in his heart and agreed to send troops. But this is a war after all, and we cannot only consider politics, but military issues must be explained clearly one by one.

"On the day, some people said that some elite troops of the Dashi Army retreated, and these troops were not weak in combat power; and if our army entered Khurashan, the Dashi Army would protect the family and defend the country, and would fight to the death. They also had a strong city to defend, so it would not be easy for our army to win." Li Gong began to ask military questions.

"Your Highness, our army's purpose is not to occupy Khurashan, but to slaughter the people of the great food and avenge the dead Anxi people. Although Khurashan is the old nest of the great food, there are not many cities, so it is impossible to bring all the people into the city. Even if we only slaughter the great food and stay outside the city, it is enough, and there is no need to attack the city.

If the Dashi Army leaves the city and takes the initiative to find our army to fight in the field in order to protect the people, is our army still afraid that the Dashi Army will not be able to fight in the field?"

"What you said," Li Gong nodded and asked the next question. "There are many soldiers in the army missing their hometown and are unwilling to continue fighting. How to solve this?"

"Your Highness, as far as your subordinates know, there are a few soldiers in the army who are unwilling to attack again. Most of them want to invade the hometown of the cannibals and kill them back. If your Highness does not believe in his subordinates, you can send guards or others to investigate secretly.

As for those who do not want to fight again, they can be transferred out of the army and become an army alone and stayed on the north bank of the Wuhu River to guard, first to prevent the Dashi Army from attacking, second to support if the army entered Khurashan was defeated."

"Mo Yuan said that the Tubo Kingdom might covet the population of Anxi. I thought about it carefully and what he said made sense. Continuing to die in battle will indeed affect the prevention of the Tubo people's attack."

"Your Highness, you can use the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolfs."

"What is the solution to the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolfs?"

"Your Highness, from Oluzhou all the way west to Kangju City, Your Highness thinks how is the land of Kang State, the country of Shiguo, the country of Bahan?" Liu Qi suddenly said something else.

"The land is naturally good." Although Li Gong was born as a prince, he still had a basic understanding of agriculture. "In the entire Anxi, Zhaowu Jiu's country, the best land is Luzhou. The rain in Anxi is unexpectedly suitable for farming.

And the second one is the land in the southeast of Shiguo and Bahanna."

"Since that's the case, does Your Highness want to turn the land of these countries into land of Anxi vassal states?" Liu Qi said in a seductive tone.

"you mean?"

"Your Highness, the reason why the nine surnames of Zhaowu were not included in the Anxi Protectorate in the past was that the court was in Chang'an, which was very far away from Anxi, and it was difficult to form a stable rule in the nine surnames of Zhaowu, so this was the case. But at this time, Your Highness was appointed as the king of the country, and the land under his jurisdiction was not close to the nine surnames of Zhaowu, but also not far away. He could rule the land of these countries.

Especially at this time, the Anxi Army expelled the Great Cannibal from the Nine Clans of Zhaowu. It was the time when the army was the most powerful and the Nine Clans of Zhaowu was the most irresistible, and this happened to be done!"

"What you mean is to recruit troops from the Jiushi Kingdom from Zhaowu and accompany the Anxi Army to attack Huluoshan, so that the Jiushi Kingdom and the Dashi Kingdom will suffer losses? In this way, not only can our army be killed or injured, but it can also reduce the difficulty of ruling the Jiushi Kingdom from Zhaowu Kingdom." Li Gong was so dry that he was said by Liu Qi, and he barely calmed down. After thinking, he said.

"Your Highness is generally right, but it is not that he was summoning troops from the nine surnames of Zhaowu and accompanied the Anxi army to attack Huluoshan, but that the nine surnames of Zhaowu were the main force, and the Anxi army was suppressing the formation and sending troops to attack." Liu Qi said with a smile.

"Can they agree?"

"Why don't you agree? This is the weakest time in the past century. The country of Zhaowu's Jiu surname was bullied by the giants for decades. He also felt resentful. How could he not want to beat the dogs in the water? He was just worried that he could not beat the dogs in the water. But with the Anxi army overturned the formation, they could let go of their worries and send troops to Khurashan.

Your Highness can also promise that the Anxi army entered Khurashan just to avenge the revenge, and all the things they stolen were handed over to the soldiers of the Jiujun State of Zhaowu. After hearing this, they would definitely agree."
