I summoned all the famous generals of history in another world.

Chapter 751 Han Xin devises a plan in the Nine Heavens Army

Meanwhile, in Wenzhou, located north of Quezhou, Han Xin's camp had already divided Wenzhou into two parts with the vassal kings represented by King Lu, firmly controlling half of Wenzhou's territory to the west, near Yunzhou.

The flickering candlelight illuminated his calm and wise face. At this moment, Han Xin held a scroll of geomancy in his hand, his eyes piercing as he traversed the mountains and rivers.

Pei Xingjian, a refined and scholarly general, sat beside Han Xin, toying with a jade slip in his hand. His brows revealed a scholarly air and a confident, strategic mind.

"General, the intelligence from the Luo Wang has confirmed that Quezhou has fallen into Xiang Yu's hands, and the Que King has committed suicide by burning himself."

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

He knew what this news meant for Han Xin.

"The time has finally come."

Upon hearing this, Han Xin smiled faintly and said softly, lifting his gaze from the map to the vast, boundless sky outside the camp.

"Shouyue, as you and I both know, Long Junzuo and his Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army are rare elite forces in the Dayong Dynasty. Among them, the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army is a famous Dao army throughout the entire Tianwu Continent. If we attack them by force, I'm afraid our losses will not be small."

"Moreover, not only is he a formidable fighter, but what is even more remarkable is that Long Junzuo is loyal and resourceful. If the Sparrow King had not been defeated, we would probably have had to go through a lot of trouble to take Wenzhou."

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

Previously, he had adopted a strategy of besieging but not attacking Long Junzuo, the only general under the Sparrow King, and his Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army, which were located in Wenzhou City.

Besides the fact that the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army is one of the few Daoist troops in the Dayong Dynasty, even if they were to force an attack and defeat Long Junzuo, his Nine Heavens Army would suffer heavy losses.

Furthermore, he had already roughly calculated Han Xin's fate.

The Sparrow King, with only one province, is definitely no match for Xiang Yu, who has already conquered the entire Jiangdong region and is eyeing the Sparrow Province covetously!

Therefore, after he surrounded Long Junzuo and the Dayong Longque Army in Wenzhou City, he waited for an opportunity.

Waiting for news that the King of Mahjong has been 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 general Long Junzuo and his Da Yong Long Que Army under his command!

As for the conflict between Long Junzuo and Ye Hua and Ye Lin, father and son, it doesn't matter.

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

Later, Ye Lin was found by the Sparrow King Army under Long Junzuo's command, but Long Junzuo did not mistreat Ye Lin.

After all, the two have been rivals for half their lives. Even if they don't respect each other, they would never kill Ye Lin on sight.

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

Long Junzuo originally intended to send Ye Lin to the Sparrow King.

Later, after being surrounded by Han Xin's Nine Heavens Army, he probably planned to use Ye Lin to negotiate with the Nine Heavens Army if things really couldn't be done.

"Long Junzuo is indeed a rare military talent, and the Dayong Longque Army under his command is the best among the Daoist soldiers."

"If we can bring them under the command of the Nine Heavens Army, it will indeed greatly increase the strength of the Nine Heavens Army and add an important piece to the chaos in the Great Yong Dynasty."

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

"The reason for our siege without attacking is my deliberate strategy. Firstly, I don't want our Nine Heavens Army to suffer unnecessary losses, and secondly, I'm waiting for the right moment—waiting for the Sparrow King to be defeated, waiting for Dragon Lord Zuo to despair, and waiting for that door to open for us."

Han Xin smiled slightly, stood up, walked to the entrance of the tent, and looked at the faintly visible Wenzhou city wall in the distance. He had already made up his mind.

"The general means..."

"Persuade Long Junzuo to surrender? That's probably not easy. Long Junzuo is extremely loyal to the Sparrow King; how could he easily surrender?"

A hint of understanding flashed in Pei Xingjian's eyes, but it was also tinged with some doubt.

"Keeping promises is important. The human heart is the most complex thing in the world, but it is also the easiest to see through."

"Although Long Junzuo was loyal, he was not stupid. He knew that the Sparrow King was dead and Sparrow Province was lost. He was fighting alone, and the final result could only be destruction."

"Besides, unwavering loyalty? Isn't that even better!"

"After all, it wasn't our Nine Heavens Army that made the Sparrow King immolate himself, so Long Junzuo is even less willing to fight to the death."

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

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

"Xiang Yu of Jiangdong now controls the entire Quezhou region and could march north at any moment. A battle between our Jiuxiao Army and Xiang Yu is inevitable!"

Han Xin continued, saying that after fighting with Long Junzu for so long, Han Xin believed he had a certain understanding of Long Junzu's psychology.

"General, this plan is feasible! It demonstrates our sincerity and gives Long Junzuo a way out, allowing him to convince himself and his soldiers."

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

"This was written by my own hand. I hope to move Long Junzuo with my sincerity and let him know that only by surrendering can the lives of his soldiers be preserved and he can continue to serve Dayong. It's just that he has a different master now."

Han Xin smiled, turned around and walked back to the desk, picked up a pre-prepared letter from the desk, and handed it to Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian took the letter and read it carefully. He saw that the letter was sincere and expressed Han Xin's and even Wen Zhong's appreciation for Long Junzuo's talent. It also analyzed the current situation.

...

Subsequently, Han Xin dispatched an envoy with a personal letter to Wenzhou City to meet Long Junzuo.

He himself, together with Pei Xingjian, continued to study the geomantic map of Wenzhou and devise various countermeasures for Xiang Yu's northward march from Quezhou.

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

At this moment, Long Junzuo, who had been trapped in Wenzhou City, did waver a bit after learning about the Sparrow King's self-immolation.

He knew that if he continued to resist the Nine Heavens Army, he would likely end up dead and his army wiped out.

At that point, let alone avenging the Sparrow King, we ourselves and the Sparrow King's last army of the Great Yong Dragon Sparrows will all perish here.

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

Long Junzu paced back and forth in the tent, clutching Han Xin's letter tightly in his hand, his brow furrowed.

To be honest, Long Junzuo still had a lot of respect for Han Xin, who had been overwhelming him tactically and strategically throughout the war.

Although Han Xin was much younger than him, on the battlefield, the experienced are teachers, and Long Junzuo was not so ignorant as to not understand this principle.

Therefore, once he chose to surrender, it meant that he would no longer be a general who could stand alone, but would become a member of Han Xin's command.

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.
