Adviser should be self-improvement

Allied with Li Wen to fight against the King of Xiangyang.

One sentence, ten words, seems to be extremely simple, but the things involved are not as simple as it seems on the surface. Whether Li Wen is willing to form an alliance is a big problem facing Qin Ce.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Wen and Qin Ce have already formed an alliance. After all, when Qin Ce was deeply trapped in Chang'an and was trapped by the King of Xiangyang, it was Li Wen who sent most of his troops to attack Xiangyang, which allowed Qin Ce to find a chance to escape successfully. Such a move In a disguised form, it is equivalent to provoking the King of Xiangyang, but only the two parties involved know that the so-called alliance is just a short-term agreement for mutual benefit, and it has not been broken until now because of the threat of the King of Xiangyang.

If the benefits brought about by entrapping the other party are greater than—even need not be much greater than the coercion of King Xiangyang, this agreement and alliance will immediately become a thin sheet of paper.

On the other hand, if the alliance was formed to help him deal with the Three Heroes, then Li Wen would definitely agree to the alliance without saying a word. The key is that Li Wen is too busy to take care of himself now, so how willing is he to allocate troops to help Qin Ce deal with Xiangyang? king?

Even if Li Wen hadn't been caught by the Three Heroes yet, and when his strength was at its peak, he would still be grateful for such an all-out approach that was tantamount to courting death.

"I don't quite understand why you would make such an offer."

He was called to the State Shepherd's Mansion early in the morning to discuss the confrontation with the King of Xiangyang. After making sure that he had heard a word correctly, Xie Qiongjiu looked at Chu Huaiqing from beginning to end with extremely surprised eyes, and then Looking at Qin Ce, he was not biased because Chu Huaiqing was his close friend, and said in a down-to-earth manner: "I don't quite understand why the prince would agree to such a whimsical idea."

Qin Ce picked up the flag representing Pingzhou's military strength from the map: "Mr. Xie means that we may not be able to defeat it?"

"Of course not." Xie Qiongjiu sat aside, watching the battle between Chu Huaiqing and Qin Ce, Shi Shiran said, "I mean, I definitely can't beat it."

Chu Huaiqing was not surprised by Xie Qiongjiu's attitude. Considering the reality rationally, Chu Huaiqing didn't think they had the possibility of winning.

Unless there is a variable beyond reality.

Looking at the map and thinking for a while, the flag representing Xiangyang unexpectedly intercepted the place where Qin Ce wanted to attack, Chu Huaiqing said: "So we must find a way to form an alliance with Li Wen, and persuade Li Wen to let him participate In the crusade team." After speaking, he picked up the prepared strategy paper, wrote down the strategy and put it next to him.

Xie Qiongjiu picked up a stack of papers written by Chu Huaiqing, and flipped through them naturally. His eyes flickered, and he looked at the map again. A deep smile flashed in his eyes, and he secretly glanced over here. Qin Ce glanced at his forehead and rubbed his forehead. He let go of the idea of ​​preparing to attack, and put a large number of soldiers and horses back on defense.

Unexpectedly, seeing him take this step, Xie Qiongjiu smiled even more strangely.

Qin Ce: "..."

Chu Huaiqing was thinking about the battle situation, and didn't notice this little episode. Seeing Qin Ce's return to defense, he frowned slightly in doubt, and the next moment he turned over the strategy paper that Xie Qiongjiu had put back to its original place, and let him secretly sneak aside The entire force devoured the place Qin Ce was about to attack just now.

In this battle, Qin Ce gained little. Chu Huaiqing lost [-] soldiers and horses, and added hundreds of thousands of troops. The total force was more than [-] more than Qin Ce's.

Qin Ce glanced coldly at Xie Qiongjiu, who was playing tricks, and Xie Qiongjiu looked up at the sky indifferently.

Seeing this scene, Chu Huaiqing could not have guessed what was going on just now, and looked at the innocent Xie Poongjiu with a dumbfounding look, put down the flag, and turned to the business: "About how to persuade Li Wen, Can Poor Wine have any good suggestions?"

"If you insist on attacking Xiangyang in the short term, I have a proposal." Xie Qiongjiu played with the flag in his hand, "Show Li Wen the strength to annihilate the King of Xiangyang."

Chu Huaiqing fell into deep thought.

"You all know what kind of person Li Wen is. He is not a stupid person like Emperor Qianning and the First Prince... Well, although some places are really stupid."

The flag of Pingzhou was thrown high, and it was held in his hand. Xie Qiongjiu raised his chin with one hand, and continued: "As a power seeker, Li Wen can't be so stupid to be able to control the four states. We are now 35 There are only about 15 soldiers and horses available. Li Wen's side is more difficult than ours. The number of troops that can be allocated is 35, not much, and the total is only [-], which is not even half of Xiangyang King. Not to mention that the city that was just captured this time was handed over to others not long ago, which definitely gave Li Wen a lot of stimulation, and it will be difficult for him to go all out again."

"Furthermore, Li Wen himself has a bullying personality. Let him attack the surrounding small cities, Xiangyang? I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts."

In the end, Xie Qiongjiu casually dropped the flag on Pingyuan City: "To sum up, I don't agree with the battle with the King of Xiangyang. It is the best policy to win Pingyuan City first with Li Wen."

"Show enough strength..." Chu Huaiqing murmured in thought as if he had made up his mind.

Xie Qiongjiu had no choice but to sigh heavily: "At least you listened to what I just said." He squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "What did you think of?"

"Fire——" the voice came out and swallowed suddenly, Chu Huaiqing rested his hand on his forehead, rubbing it slowly, as if he was still struggling, "Even if we unite with Li Wen, there is still a possibility that we can fight the King of Xiangyang Poorly small."

"So you also know." Xie Qiongjiu rolled his eyes and sighed, "Can you tell someone Xie, what is it that makes you think so hard?"

Before the words fell, he asked unexpectedly: "Could it be related to the news calculated by Xiao Ritsu?"

Qin Ce and Chu Huaiqing's brows moved together.

This was a random guess along the most likely direction, but he didn't expect to hit the target directly. Seeing their reaction, Xie Qiongjiu straightened up, his eyes sank instantly, and he looked straight at the two of them in front of him, making further judgments. Said: "Or, is it also related to my body?"

Qin Ce: "..."

"Take the foundation we have worked so hard to exchange for your health." Chu Huaiqing shook his head and asked, "Do you think we will use such a choice to insult you?"

Qin Ce reacted quickly, and then added: "Lu Chuanfeng has indeed calculated something, but it is about the general trend of the world. It's just that the stakes involved are too high, so we need to discuss it."

Seeing that the two people looked calm and serious, Xie Qiongjiu's expression softened, and he simply admitted his mistake and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm too much of an underdog. What's Xiaorizi's original words?"

"Unite Li Wen as soon as possible to fight the King of Xiangyang." Chu Huaiqing said calmly, "This is what he said."

Xie Qiongjiu pondered for a moment: "Did you mention any specific benefits?"

Chu Huaiqing shook his head: "No, he just told us that as long as we can complete this matter within five months, we can get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This opportunity will provide us with great help in winning the world. Without him Refuse to say."

Xie Qiongjiu then asked: "What are the restrictions? As long as you can unite with Li Wen and fight the King of Xiangyang, or unite with Li Wen and fail, and then fight with the King of Xiangyang? When it comes to fighting, whether you win or lose, how much you win if you win, and how much you lose if you lose, Xiao Ritsu didn't even mention it?"

Qin Ce: "..."

After patiently listening to Xie Qiongjiu's words, Chu Huaiqing frowned and pursed her lips, as if she was really in the confusion raised by Xie Qiongjiu, and replied after a while: "No, it should be to see if we can evolve the change to To what extent, since this is the case, it is better to consider the most favorable outcome, whether to win or lose depends on the strength of both parties, of course, there must be a way out."

"So not only to win, but also to kill Xiangyang King..."

Xie Qiongjiu lowered his brows lightly, as if he was looking for the most likely to succeed in countless calculations. Just looking at his non-embarrassed expression, Chu Huaiqing believed that the other party could come up with a countermeasure.

Perhaps this is a kind of partial belief, but it is also a miracle that Chu Huaiqing has witnessed countless times in desperation.

Even if it's only in a humble hut, a walking alley, or a magnificent palace, this person will always be like this.

It's just a few sentences, and it's just a few strategies.

It will be able to turn the clouds and rain, and turn the world.

Xie Qiongjiu is very wise and close to a monster, and Chu Huaiqing's impression in Qin Ce's heart is almost the same. Seeing that his husband has successfully fooled Xie Qiongjiu, and even every word he uttered is not a lie, his face is pale. Qin Ce, with an expression on his face, couldn't help clapping wildly in his heart, wishing he could give his husband a warm appreciative kiss on the spot.

The two waited quietly for Xie Qiongjiu, who was thinking, and the other party lived up to expectations. He didn't keep them waiting for long, but after half a quarter of an hour, he raised his head again and looked at Chu Huaiqing: "Just now I mentioned that I would show you to Li Wen. Given our strength, does Huai Qing have any calculations in his heart?"

It was obvious before, and since it has been taken into consideration, Chu Huaiqing never thought of continuing to hide it: "Yes."

"What are you going to do?"

"...I once got an ancient book on making weapons. Although I don't know who made it, I wrote down the methods of making those weapons in the book."

Qin Ce looked at Chu Huaiqing in surprise, he seemed to have never heard Mr. mention it?

Chu Huaiqing's voice was slow, her eyes were solemn, and the words seemed to carry a different weight.

"There is one of them, which is introduced in the book as having the ability to open up the world. It is called fire. Yao."
