My players are all acting

After a fierce battle, Li Hongyun returned to the original point again.

The tide turned at the last moment, and his first attempt failed when he thought he had great hopes.

"Damn it, what link is the problem with..."

Li Hongyun began to review his first attempt.

He felt that there was no big problem in the link of following the King of Qin to conquer the world.

After all, in this process, he established military merit and prestige, and also regained Liu Heita and other Hebei generals, and cultivated his own power.

If the Xuanwumen Incident develops according to the original historical schedule, then he and the crown prince would probably have won by relying on their superiority in military strength.

The king of Qin sided with the emperor for no reason, which turned them into rebellion, so the situation was reversed in two stages, and all Li Hongyun's preparations fell short.

"Is it because I don't know enough about the details of the historical materials?

"Or, King Qin read the script in advance?"

Li Hongyun thought about it carefully, and both situations were possible.

Previously, he had only completed 74% of the Transformation of the Xuanwu Gate, so it cannot be said that he had perfectly mastered all the details.

Although the Xuanwumen Incident he created is basically the same as the historical ending, but there are still hidden dangers after all. Perhaps after a certain known condition changes, King Qin's countermeasures will also change, and the whole situation will be completely different.

"Is it because the King of Qin has placed undercover agents in the Prince's Mansion and King Qi's Mansion in advance, and has grasped our movements?

"So, he originally planned to launch a coup, imprison Liang Gaozu first and then kill the prince, and temporarily changed his strategy. Instead, he took advantage of our attack on Xuanwu Gate, informed Liang Gaozu in advance, and joined forces with the forbidden army to ambush in the palace..."

After Li Hongyun thought about it, this was the possibility with the highest probability.

In the real history, the Crown Prince's Mansion and King Qi's Mansion were basically leaking from all sides. The Prince and King Qi conspired to kill King Qin, but King Qin always got the news first.

On the day of the Xuanwumen Incident, King Qin had mobilized so many people to complete the plot, but the crown prince and King Qi were still completely kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.

This is enough to see how big the intelligence gap between the two sides is.

"So, I have to find a way to catch the ghost?

"But the inner ghost is not so easy to find out..."

There is no record in the historical data of how many ghosts the King of Qin planted in the Crown Prince and Prince Qi's mansion.

And it is basically impossible for Li Hongyun to find these people by himself.

There is a stupid way to go back to the previous stage, and die a few more times with the change of Xuanwu Gate from the perspective of God, keep an eye on everyone in the Prince Qin’s Mansion and the Prince’s Mansion, find out all the undercover agents, and then come back and kill all the undercover agents. clean out.

But this method is obviously not feasible.

First, there are too many people in Prince Qin's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion. The Prince's private soldiers alone have 3,000 people. In addition, the Prince's Mansion also has a whole team of officials. The number of people will reach a very exaggerated level. .

Even if the scope is narrowed down to the core personnel of the Prince's Mansion, the number is still huge. If you want to watch them one by one from the beginning to the end, the efficiency is too low, and the time does not allow it.

Second, the gap between the two sides does not lie in a certain traitor, but a gap in all-round intelligence capabilities.

Even if Li Hongyun pulled out a group of undercover agents in the Prince's Mansion, King Qin still has the ability to continue to develop more undercover agents.

Even when Li Hongyun was pulling out the first undercover agent, the King of Qin might have noticed it and changed his countermeasures, changing a group of people to instigate rebellion.

At that time, if he wanted to go to the previous stage to copy the answers, he would not be able to copy them at all.

Therefore, after some analysis, Li Hongyun found that according to his current method, this problem is basically unsolvable.

Because if you want to win against the King of Qin in the Xuanwumen Incident, you must build a more powerful intelligence network system than him, keep it from the King of Qin, and keep abreast of King Qin's latest trends.

Not only that, Li Hongyun also realized a new problem in the process.

That is, what are the specific customs clearance standards for this level?

The goal of the game reads: "Play as King Qi and win the Xuanwumen Incident."

But what counts as "winning"?

Is it to kill King Qin to win? Or is it a win to help King Qin? Or is it to kill the prince, Qin Wang, and Liang Gaozu together to win?

Based on Li Hongyun's understanding of this game, I'm afraid it is the highest difficulty by default without mentioning it.

Therefore, it is very possible that even if he helped the prince to kill King Qin, but did not kill the prince, he would not be able to achieve his goal.

So, in the second attempt, Li Hongyun decided to verify this problem first.

On the whole, he still followed the idea of ​​the first attempt, defending Jinyang City first, then conquering the world with the King of Qin, and finally taking the power of the land of Hebei for his own use.

And at the final stage of the Xuanwumen Incident, he steadfastly stood with the prince on the surface, but in fact he unconditionally helped King Qin behind his back.

As a result, the difficulty of the game dropped sharply.

With King Qi as the ultimate villain, the prince had absolutely no power to fight back, and the change of Xuanwumen naturally came to an end without any suspense.

But after completing all this, there was no customs clearance prompt in Li Hongyun's vision.

This means that helping the King of Qin to win the Xuanwu Gate Change does not count as completing the goal!

Because it was the king of Qin who won, not you, the king of Qi. You are just a vassal of the king of Qin.

After getting this result, Li Hongyun sighed silently.

Sure enough, the pissing nature of this broken game has always been like this, and his guess was correct!

In this way, in the first stage, even if he helped the crown prince to kill the king of Qin, it would not count as a clearance, because that was the crown prince's victory, not that of the king of Qi.

The game is still going on.

Even if Li Hongyun helped the prince kill the king of Qin, or helped the king of Qin kill the prince, he would have to continue to kill the prince and the king of Qin to be considered a success.

This is difficult.

After helping King Qin to win the Xuanwu Gate Change, then kill King Qin?

The difficulty is so high that it breaks through the sky. It's better not to help King Qin in the first place.

Therefore, at the first moment of completing the Xuanwu Gate Change, while King Qin and the heroes were rejoicing because of the success, King Qi, who played the leading role in the Xuanwu Gate Change, silently pulled out his sword and killed himself.

"Fourth brother! Fourth brother!"

King Qin turned pale with fright, he rushed up to hug King Qi's body, only to find that the aorta at the neck was gushing with blood, and he had completely lost his vitality.

King Qin wept bitterly.

He obviously wanted to break his head, but he couldn't understand why the two brothers shared troubles together, and when it was time to enjoy the blessings, King Qi couldn't think of committing suicide...

...

Returning to the original starting point again, Li Hongyun completely overturned the previous method and decided to change the strategy fundamentally.

"I've figured it out, 'winning the Xuanwumen Coup' means to become the final victor of this coup.

"Attachment to the Crown Prince or King Qin is not considered a win, you have to play the role of King Qi, kill everyone and succeed in monopolizing power.

"This difficulty has increased again..."

Li Hongyun naturally thought of a way to be independent from the prince and King Qin, become a third force and reap the benefits.

But after a few simple attempts, it turned out that this simply doesn't work.

"Dark Sand" is quite humane in this respect. If you don't need to change the content you played before, you can directly jump to the key nodes. So Li Hongyun tried several times, starting directly from the change of Xuanwu Gate, but he didn't waste too much time.

The reason why this method does not work is very simple: if the two do not help each other, they will be guarded by both sides at the same time, and as the weakest king of Qi, he will naturally be the first to kill.

That is to say, the boss and the second child fought and beat the third child to death.

The reason why the three-point world rarely occurs in history is precisely because it is actually difficult for a weak third party to seize any good strategic window to develop its own power.

When they had just shown signs of becoming the third strongest, the other two had already noticed this problem, and immediately stopped fighting and strangled the third party to death. They would not be so stupid as to let him reap the benefits.

Of course, "being killed" does not mean that King Qi will be physically eliminated, but that under the joint suppression of the prince and King Qin, his power has been reduced to a level where he cannot pose a threat to the two.

Afterwards, the Prince and the King of Qin continued to fight.

The result is undoubtedly the victory of King Qin.

So Li Hongyun was very desperate to find that he had tried all three possibilities, but he couldn't win.

To help the prince, under the balance of Liang Gaozu, Qin Wang can still rely on the crushing intelligence advantage to turn the tables;

Help King Qin, King Qin will be directly invincible, and it will be even more difficult to defeat King Qin next;

The two do not help each other and are suppressed by Lianhe. King Qin still wins, but King Qin still cannot be brought down.

So, after much deliberation, Li Hongyun came to a conclusion.

His original style of play actually did not fundamentally change the pattern of the Xuanwumen Incident. The king of Qin is still sure about winning. He and the crown prince are powerful on the surface, but they are actually strong on the outside and weak on the inside.

The root of all this is that in the process of conquering the world, the king of Qin is still the main one.

Although King Qi played by Li Hongyun also played an important role, in the final analysis he still followed King Qin as his deputy.

Then, the talents under him, or the support of the people in the world, will naturally still be on the side of King Qin.

The King Qi he played still lived under the shadow of King Qin all his life.

"So, if you want to win the Xuanwu Gate Change, the most fundamental way is to replace King Qin and become the true founder of the Liang Dynasty?"

Li Hongyun felt that his head was as big as a bucket, and the difficulty suddenly increased several steps.

But after a comprehensive analysis, this can only be the only way.

Thinking of this, Li Hongyun decided to start from scratch.

The first issue he had to address: age.

King Qi is four years younger than King Qin.

Therefore, when King Qi got his first opportunity to make military exploits in Jinyang, King Qin was already twenty years old.

Qin Wang started to lead the army to fight at the age of eighteen. At this time, he has been fighting for two full years, including but not limited to "Rescue the Yanmen", "Rescue Liang Gaozu from the Thousands of Armies", "Planning Jinyang to Rise", " "Break Song Laosheng", "Battle of Qianshuiyuan beat Xue Rengao" and many other famous scenes.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Wuzhou was flattened, Wang Shichong was crusaded, and the two kings were captured in a battle at Hulaoguan.

During the previous actions, King Qi was still too young. He just stayed in Jinyang and had no chance to make contributions.

As for the latter actions, although King Qi could join the army, King Qin had made great achievements, and they were all battles that determined the fate of the country. Liang Gaozu had no reason to divide his troops.

Therefore, due to his age, King Qi was doomed to live in the shadow of King Qin forever, with no bright future at all.

If the player is playing the prince, then Li Hongyun can still struggle.

You can take the initiative to ask to lead troops to fight at the beginning, and get a few more natural skills to improve combat power and military art, and grab these military achievements.

But for King Qi, one age issue is enough to give Li Hongyun a headache.

However, Li Hongyun did not give up because of this. After careful study, he found a breakthrough.

This breakthrough is the battle of Qianshuiyuan.

King Qin is the most war-fighting emperor of all time. He started his army at the age of 18 until he conquered Goguryeo in his later years, and he never failed.

However, many people say that the Battle of Qianshuiyuan was the only defeat in King Qin's life.

This statement is not correct, but for Li Hongyun, there is a hidden opportunity.

The historical records of the battle of Qianshuiyuan are very clear, which can be divided into two battles.

When Xue Ju came to attack for the first time, King Qin led troops to confront him, deepened the trenches and raised the barriers, and did not confront Xue Ju. But at this time, King Qin happened to be ill with malaria, so he entrusted the military to Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan, and repeatedly told him: Xue Ju's army went deep alone, there was not much food and grass, and the soldiers were tired, so he must fight quickly. You just need to stand firm and beat him when I recover from my illness.

As a result, Yin Kaishan urged Liu Wenjing to fight, thinking that the other party would definitely despise Liang Jun when he heard that King Qin was sick, so he just fought to deter the enemy.

As a result, he died after trying, and was attacked by Xue Ju. Five or six out of ten soldiers died, and several generals were also captured. The heads of the soldiers who died in battle were built into Jingguan, which can be said to be a disastrous defeat.

But immediately after, Liang Gaozu sent additional reinforcements to the king of Qin and came back again. This time, the king of Qin led the army after he recovered from his illness, but he also couldn't hold out. He had been stalemate for more than 60 days and waited for the opponent's food to be eaten before launching a fierce attack to completely pacify Longxi.

Many people forcibly put this defeat on Qin Wang's head, and it was nothing more than the old rhetoric: Qin Wang's illness was an excuse, the result of changing history, he just lost, and then let Liu Wenjing take the blame.

But in fact this statement does not make any sense.

First of all, Liu Wenjing is not a small person who can be used casually to take the blame. He was one of the Siyuan Conspiracies who raised troops in Jinyang, had the privilege of "pardoning two deaths", and was the most important prime minister of the Liang Dynasty at that time.

Moreover, he has also demonstrated certain military capabilities, and it is reasonable to replace King Qin and take over the command.

After being defeated by Xue Ju, Liu Wenjing was dismissed and imprisoned, but King Qin was able to lead troops to fight against Xue Ju, Xue Rengao and his son again, which is enough to see that Liu Wenjing was not the scapegoat, but he was the main person responsible for this failure.

Secondly, Xue Ju is not a particularly powerful famous general. His combat effectiveness is indeed not weak, but apart from the great victory in the first battle of Diving Yuan, he has no record of using soldiers like a god.

In the end, the failure of the Battle of Qianshuiyuan was rooted in Liang Jun's rash attack, which actually did not conform to King Qin's consistent combat style at all.

The basic pattern of every battle the King of Qin fought was the same, he couldn't hold out, disturbed the grain road, frustrated the enemy's spirit, and pursued fiercely.

Before and after Qianshuiyuan, King Qin did this all the time. Only the first battle of Qianshuiyuan made a rash attack, which makes no sense at all.

Therefore, there is no problem with historical records. At that time, King Qin temporarily handed over the right to lead the army because of malaria, but Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing messed around, which led to a disastrous defeat.

So for Li Hongyun, why is the battle of Qianshuiyuan the only breakthrough for him to play King Qi?

Because before that, the King Qi he played was too young to participate in the war; after that, King Qin became the most capable person in the entire Liang Dynasty without any dispute, and it was basically impossible to shake his position. Impossible.

Only during the battle of Qianshuiyuan, taking advantage of King Qin's illness, he achieved a victory that shocked Liang Gaozu, and then he hoped to lead the army independently of King Qin, or even replace him.

Then the next question is: How can he go to Qianshuiyuan in Jinyang?

Just drop Jinyang and run over? Surely not.

That is AWOL, and it is impossible for him to snatch the military power from Liu Wenjing when he arrives in Jinyang. The youngest son of the war.

Therefore, if you want to seize this opportunity and win this battle while King Qin is ill, you have to make some meritorious deeds in advance so that everyone thinks that King Qi is qualified to replace King Qin.

Then, he has to continue to advance this time node, and play a pivotal role in the two links of "Jinyang's rise of troops" and "pacification of Song Laosheng".

This is really quite nonsense for a middle school boy who was only fourteen or fifteen years old at the time.

But Li Hongyun did not give up, because this was the only solution he could think of.

Just do it.

Li Hongyun started the trial again, and the first time he saw King Qi, the idea of ​​moving the timeline forward flashed through his mind.

Sure enough, the entire trial illusion began to change, and it really kept going backwards, returning to the state when Liang Gaozu raised troops in Jinyang.

And King Qi's age naturally degenerated further, becoming a boy of only fourteen or fifteen years old.

At such a young age, doing many things can be troublesome.

It is impossible to march and fight. His physical fitness is too far away. He is sent to fight on the battlefield, and no one listens to him when he commands.

The only way out is to make plans.

But making suggestions is also likely to be ignored by people, who think that children are joking, and may not even listen.

And the method Li Hongyun thought of was quite simple, rude and efficient: copy!

He wants to copy the methods of Liang Gaozu and Qin Wang in the historical materials, and put forward various suggestions before them.

In this way, Liang Gaozu and Qin Wang will find that this fourteen-year-old boy has seen others, and most importantly, he thinks of going with them every time.

At that time, Li Hongyun will flatter the two of them a little bit. Over time, his opinion will be taken seriously, which will lay a solid foundation for the series of actions he will take in the future.

Regarding the Jinyang uprising, there are contradictions in historical records.

Some historical materials record the main figure who raised the army as Liang Gaozu, who believed that Liang Gaozu had long had the idea of ​​rebellion and implemented it step by step; while another part of historical materials recorded that the main figure who raised the army was Liang Gaozu, who believed that Liang Gaozu was hesitant, and it was the Qin king who tried hard to persuade him. Liang Gaozu finally made up his mind.

It's hard to tell the exact situation, but for Li Hongyun, it's not a big problem.

These two statements are probably not contradictory.

First of all, it can be determined that Liang Gaozu himself must have the idea of ​​​​raising troops. The previous dynasty was already precarious and full of turmoil, and he was not stupid, so there was no need to continue holding the memorial archway of the loyal ministers of the former dynasty to be buried by the former dynasty.

Wouldn't it be nice to raise your own troops to be the emperor?

But he was the supreme leader at the time, and for such a big matter as a rebellion, he must weigh all aspects of the situation before making a decision, with safety as the top priority.

So in the eyes of outsiders, it may appear to be hesitant.

King Qin, as a young man who was just eighteen years old and full of vigor, had a high spirit, and his behavior of making friends with heroes and cultivating power was beyond doubt. It is normal for him to persuade Liang Gaozu to raise troops.

Therefore, Li Hongyun believed that Liang Gaozu was the leader in this matter, and finally made a final decision. But because he was not sure about his appeal and strength, nor his prospects at that time, and because he was in a high position, he could see more unfavorable factors than King Qin, so he showed hesitation and hesitation in the process.

It is also beyond doubt that King Qin played an important role in the process of raising troops in Jinyang.

Therefore, after thinking hard, Li Hongyun decided to put the breakthrough on King Qin first.

The first step is to make suggestions and play a vital role in the process of King Qin persuading Liang Gaozu to raise troops.
