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

The situation turned around at the last minute, and his first attempt failed even though he thought he had great hope.

"Damn it, where exactly is the problem..."

Li Hongyun began to review his first attempt.

In the previous part of following the King of Qin to conquer the world, he felt that there was no big problem.

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

If the Xuanwumen Incident developed according to the original historical plan, then he and the prince would have probably won by relying on their superior strength.

The King of Qin inexplicably sided with the Emperor, which turned them into rebellion, and the situation reversed, causing all Li Hongyun's preparations to fail.

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

"Or is it that King Qin read the script in advance?"

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

Previously, his completion rate for the Xuanwu Gate Change was only 74%, and he could not say that he had a perfect grasp of all the details.

Although the Xuanwumen Incident he staged is basically consistent with the ending in history, there are still hidden dangers after all. Perhaps after a certain known condition changes, King Qin's countermeasures will also change, and then the entire situation will turn out completely.

It’s different.

"Is it because King Qin has already placed undercover agents in the Prince's Mansion and Prince Qi's Mansion in advance to understand our movements?

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

After much thought, Li Hongyun concluded that this was the possibility with the highest probability.

In real history, the Prince's Palace and the Prince of Qi's Palace were basically in a state of leakage from all sides. The Prince and the Prince of Qi conspired to kill the King of Qin, but the King of Qin always got the news first.

On the day of the Xuanwumen Incident, King Qin had already mobilized so many people to complete the conspiracy, but the prince and King Qi were still completely kept in the dark.

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

"So, I have to find a way to find out the mole?

"But it's not so easy to find out the mole..."

There is no historical record of how many moles King Qin planted in the prince's and Prince Qi's palaces.

And it is basically impossible for Li Hongyun to find these people by his own strength.

A stupid way is to go back to the previous stage, replay the Xuanwu Gate Incident a few times from a God's perspective, keep an eye on everyone in the Qin Prince's Palace and the Prince's Palace, find all the undercover agents, and then come back and kill all the undercover agents.

Clean it out.

But this method is obviously not feasible.

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

.

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

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

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

Even when Li Hongyun selected the first undercover agent, the King of Qin may have noticed it, changed his strategy, and replaced a group of people to instigate rebellion.

When the time comes, if he tries to copy answers from the previous stage, he won't 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 defeat the King of Qin in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, you must establish a more powerful intelligence network system than him, keep the King of Qin in the dark, and keep abreast of the latest developments of the King of Qin.

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

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

The goal of the game reads: "Play as King Qi and win the Xuanwu Gate Change."

But what does it mean to “win”?

Does killing the King of Qin count as a win? Or does helping the King of Qin count as a win? Or does it count as killing the Crown Prince, King of Qin, and Liang Gaozu together?

Based on Li Hongyun's understanding of this game, I'm afraid the default setting is the highest difficulty without saying anything.

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

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

On the whole, he still followed the idea of ​​​​the first attempt, first defending Jinyang City, then following the King of Qin to conquer the world, and finally subduing the forces in Hebei for his own use.

In the final stage of the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, on the surface he stood firmly with the prince, but in fact he secretly helped the King of Qin unconditionally.

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

With King Qi as the ultimate insider, the prince had no power to fight back, and the Xuanwu Sect incident naturally ended without any suspense.

But after completing all this, Li Hongyun did not see a clearance prompt in his field of vision.

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

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

After getting this result, Li Hongyun sighed silently.

Sure enough, this crappy game has always been like this, and his guess was correct!

In this way, in fact, even if he helped the prince kill the King of Qin in the first stage, it would not be considered a clearance, because it was the victory of the prince, not the victory of the King of Qi.

The game is still in progress.

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

This is difficult to do.

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

The level of difficulty is so high that it would be better not to help King Qin in the first place.

Therefore, as soon as the Xuanwu Gate Revolution was completed, while the King of Qin and his ministers rejoiced at the success, King Qi, who had played the first role in the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, silently drew out his sword and committed suicide.

"Fourth brother! Fourth brother!"

King Qin was shocked. He rushed to hug King Qi's body, only to find that blood was gushing from the aorta in his neck, and the man had completely lost his life.

King Qin cried bitterly.

He obviously couldn't understand even if he wanted to, why the two brothers shared hardships together, but when it was time to enjoy happiness, King Qi couldn't think about it and committed suicide...

…

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

“It has been made clear that ‘winning the Xuanwu Gate Change’ means becoming the final winner of this coup.

"Being attached to the prince or the king of Qin does not count as winning. You have to play the role of the king of Qi, kill everyone and succeed in monopolizing power.

"The difficulty has increased again..."

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

But after a few simple attempts, I found that this didn't work at all.

"Ansha" is quite user-friendly in this regard. If the previously played content does not need to be changed, you can directly jump to key nodes. So Li Hongyun tried several times, starting directly from the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

It didn't take much time.

The reason why this method doesn't work is very simple: not helping each other means that both sides will be on guard at the same time, and as the weakest King of Qi, he will naturally be killed first.

That is to say, the boss and the second child got into a fight and beat the third child to death.

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

Just when it showed signs of becoming the third strongest, the other two strongmen had already noticed this problem and immediately stopped fighting and strangled the third party to death. They would not be stupid enough 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 Crown Prince and King of Qin, his power has been reduced to a level where he cannot pose a threat to the two of them.

Then, the prince and the king of Qin continued to fight.

The result was undoubtedly the victory of King Qin.

So Li Hongyun found in great despair that he had tried all three possibilities but could not win.

Helping the prince, with Liang Gaozu's balance, King Qin could still make a comeback with overwhelming intelligence superiority;

Help King Qin, King Qin will become invincible immediately, and it will be more difficult to defeat King Qin next;

The two did not help each other and were suppressed by the alliance. King Qin still won, but he was still unable to overthrow King Qin.

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

His original gameplay did not fundamentally change the pattern of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. King Qin was still sure of victory. He and the prince were powerful on the surface, but in fact they were powerful on the outside and could be broken at the first touch.

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

Although the King of Qi played by Li Hongyun also played an important role, in the final analysis he still followed the King of Qin as a deputy.
To be continued...
