The world's understanding of fate has only reached the stage of the "butterfly effect". In modern cognition, no matter how small a variable is, it can cause huge deviations. And the whole world is so interconnected that it is impossible to predict the consequences of what you do today in complex relationships beyond human imagination.

But one thing is certain, that is, there is a cause and an effect.

Li Jie has already had a preliminary understanding, and it turns out that the past, present, and future are all a whole. Even if there are fluctuations in the future, they may be reflected in the past time and space.

In 494 BC, the third year of the accession to the throne of King Goujian of Zhao, the defeated King Goujian of Zhao entered the state of Wu as a hostage. After his release, the unwilling Zhao Wang Goujian had been trying to take revenge. At this time, King Zhao had the help of doctors. This man was resourceful and searched everywhere for the good way of King Zhao's vow. But for some reason, King Zhao, who should have made a decision early in accordance with history, showed a hesitant attitude......

It's still early in the morning when I enter here, and when I come out, it's already late at night in the Warring States period.

After passing through the space-time light gate, Li Jie and Zhang Liang saw darkness in front of them, and when they looked up, the full moon was obscured by dark clouds and emitted a dim yellow light. As far as the eye can see, there are houses that are connected together, and at the back of the houses there is a solid stone wall.

When he was at a loss, he saw a faint light flickering in front of him approaching from far and near.

"Anyone?"

Zhang Liang, who traveled through time and space for the first time, couldn't help but look a little nervous, and Li Jie patted his arm. whispered: "Don't be afraid, the wheel of life will arrange our identities." ”

When the lights approached, an old man in palace clothes carried a bright red lantern.

The old man bowed respectfully to Zhang Liang and Li Jie and said, "Doctor Zhang, Doctor Li." My king ordered the little one to find two to go to the wing room to discuss matters. ”

The old man's face was white and beardless, and his voice was shrill enough to give them goosebumps. Coming face to face with the legendary eunuch for the first time can't help but make them show strange expressions.

After calming down, Li Jie coughed and put on a calm face. Waving his hand, he said, "You lead the way." ”

"Yes. Please come with me. The old eunuch bowed, turned around and led the two to the depths of the palace.

Immediately after that, they came to a solitary low cabin. The old eunuch pushed open the wooden door and let the two enter.

The wooden house is simply furnished, and there is no luxury of the royal house at all. The residual lamp in the room flickered with a faint light, and there were already two men in sight.

Next to the candlestick in the center, there is a middle-aged man in his thirties with a round face and a full beard, sitting on a straw mat with his eyes down, as if he is thinking in a tangled mind. In front of him was a thirty-year-old man in a green robe, standing with his head bowed. Just before entering the door, I could clearly hear the sound of argument coming from the room.

"Zhao Wang Goujian, the doctor's culture." Whenever Li Jie's gaze swept over a person, their identities immediately appeared in his mind. I don't know if the wheel of life also informed Zhang Liang in the same way, and during the cautious period, Li Jie quietly pointed to the two and introduced it to Zhang Liang.

The arrival of Li Jie and Zhang Liang did not wash away the solemn atmosphere between the two of them. Wen Chong only bowed to the two of them absentmindedly, and then stared at King Zhao with burning eyes, as if he was anxiously waiting for King Zhao to make up his mind. But King Zhao always had a hesitant attitude, as if the courage in his heart could not be raised.

Still unsure of the situation at this time, Li Jie, who had an attitude of waiting to see what would happen, led Zhang Liang to stand in the back row and waited patiently.

He could no longer bear the anxiety in his chest, so he took a big step and pleaded heavily: "The matter of destroying Wu can no longer be delayed. Don't wait for me when you need to know! I also asked King Zhao to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

King Zhao's eyebrows furrowed, but he did not speak. The palms of the palms that propped up on the table and rubbed their temples constantly, clenched into fists from time to time before parting.

Li Jie knew in his heart that since the wheel of fate picked this point to send them over, of course he had his intentions. Before coming, Li Jie consulted historical documents and knew that the literary doctor played a vital role in helping to destroy Wu. After watching carefully for a while, King Zhao's hesitation and eagerness of the genre fell into Li Jie's eyes at this moment.

Seeing that King Zhao's eyes were always focused on a volume of manuscripts full of handwriting spread out on the table. Li Jie opened his mouth and asked, "Doctor Wen, what is this?" ”

Wen Chong glanced back, his eyes flickered, and said, "This is the Nine Techniques of Exterminating Wu that I dedicated to King Zhao tonight." I dare to guarantee that as long as King Zhao follows my strategy, he will destroy the state of Wu within ten years. ”

Hearing the words, King Zhao seemed to have just noticed Li Jie and their arrival, reached out and picked up the scroll and handed it over. "Let's take a look at Dr. Li and Dr. Zhang."

After taking it, Li Jie stared intently for a few moments. Zhang Liang behind him also came over curiously, but he was surprised to find that the words in the book were complicated, and he couldn't read a word at all.

Li Jie and Zhang Liang looked at each other with a smile, and then exclaimed exaggeratedly: "It's really a good plan!" ”

"Yes! Good strategy. I haven't seen anything better than this! Zhang Liang called out with a wink, and his pretended expression was comparable to that of an actor.

Hearing that these two doctors who had just entered the palace to serve the king were all amazed by their own techniques of destroying Wu Jiu, Wen Chong couldn't help but lightly twist his chin and beard to show a smug look: "The two doctors also agree with my plan?" ”

"En. We raise our hands in favor. Li Jie and Zhang Liang nodded without hesitation. Although they can't understand what is written on it, they will of course unconditionally support the literature if they know the historical trajectory.

Hehe laughed twice, and Li Jie handed the scroll to Wen Chong's hand. "But some of them don't understand yet. I don't know if the doctor can explain it to us. ”

"Okay." Wen Chong respectfully saluted King Zhao, turned around and spread his hand in Chinese and said aloud: "The Nine Techniques of Exterminating Wu that I have offered are the result of my hard thinking day and night over the years. These nine techniques are divided into nine steps, and they are connected step by step, which will inevitably allow Wu Guo to fall into the trap I set without warning......"

The literary doctor spoke eloquently, and there were many excited words, and it could be heard from his words that he was full of confidence in his plan. Whether it was to explain the comprehensiveness of his strategy to King Zhao again, or to show off his strategy to Li Jie and the others. During the conversation, the deep meaning of the Nine Techniques of Exterminating Wu was explained in great detail.

Listening attentively, Li Jie kept nodding his head to show his understanding. To put it bluntly, these nine techniques are to disintegrate the national strength of the Wu State. To put it simply, it can be divided into three points: the first point is to disrupt the enemy, and corrupt the dynasty by bribing the important ministers of Wu State. The second point is obsession, using money and beauty to make King Wu addicted, and he has no time to manage the government. The third point is to prepare for war, accumulate grain and expand troops in the Zhao State, enrich the national strength, strengthen training and wait for the opportunity to attack Wu.

I have to say that the strategy of the literary genre is really vicious. Because he starts from the essence of the human heart, even if he gets the era in which Li Jie lived, he was also clever. While weakening the fighting spirit of Wu State, he strengthened himself, and how could he not defeat the enemy and win under the elimination of the other's strengths.

Li Jie couldn't help but think of the countless monarchs in history who made huge empires collapse when they were extravagant. The starting point of the literary genre is to use deliberate means to lead King Wu to this path of self-destruction.

When the text was finished, he saw that King Zhao was still deep in thought. Wen Chong was anxious, and couldn't help but plead again: "Why can't King Zhao make a decision?" Do you still feel that there is anything missing from these nine techniques? ”

Thinking of adding fire to the genre, Li Jie also took a step forward and said: "I also think that the strategy of the genre is very good." Take the fourth technique mentioned in it and send the beauty of King Wu. I don't believe that a king who is obsessed with women can still run the country well. Isn't there an example of the King of the Rings in history? Let's send King Wu a Daji! ”

King Zhao waved his hand and sighed: "I'm not interested in Dr. Wen's strategy. I also agree that these nine techniques can be described as earth-shattering. But ......"

Wen Chong hurriedly said: "If King Zhao has any concerns, please speak up." ”

King Zhao sighed deeply again, looked up at Wen Chong and said, "Doctor Wen remembers." Three years ago, Wu was defeated by me. Although he tried his best at that time, he could not win. Even if King Wu is addicted, if the day of the two armies fights, I am still not sure. You need to know that the death of a tiger is still bigger than that of a dog! ”

As soon as these words came out, the literary genre who was like a river was stunned. He finally knew why King Zhao couldn't make up his mind. In fact, King Zhao, who had been defeated, lost confidence. Once this person loses faith and courage, no matter how good a plan he has, he will not be able to save it.

For a moment, silence shrouded the wooden house, as if the air had frozen because of King Zhao's sigh. Wen Chong was stunned and didn't know how to speak. He was full of interest, he thought that after the sacrifice of this Wu Nine Technique, King Zhao must be ecstatic and follow what he did, but he never imagined that when the matter came to an end, King Zhao suddenly retreated in his heart. The most puzzling thing is that when King Zhao asked him for help, he looked like he was eager to seek talent, and he bluntly said that his lifelong desire was to destroy Wu...... Where did the ambitious King Zhao go that day?

At this moment, Li Jie, who was the most sober in the room, was churning in his thoughts, and he knew that at this time, whether King Zhao could take Nawen's contribution directly determined the key point of whether this history could continue smoothly.

Looking at Zhang Liang, Li Jie's eyes suddenly lit up. Immediately said loudly to King Zhao: "Since King Zhao has something to worry about, why don't we ask the gods." If the gods don't allow it, it's the will of heaven, and the literary doctor doesn't need to force it anymore. But if the gods allow it, King Zhao should obey the will of heaven! ”

"Providence?" King Zhao looked up at the pitch-black roof with an inexplicable expression.

Wen Chong looked at Li Jie and saw the latter smile and wink at him. Although he was puzzled, he could feel that Li Jie seemed to be full of confidence in his heart.

In this era, people's reverence for the Divine is definitely a hundred times greater than that of later generations. Whatever the gods suggest, the king will obey it unconditionally.

Wen Chong also thought about it quickly for a while, and arched his hand and said: "What Dr. Li mentioned is excellent." It's better for King Zhao to ask the gods. How is it to see the providence? ”

After taking a few deep breaths, a trace of fire finally ignited in King Zhao's heart amid the pleading voices of several advisors in unison. glanced at a few people in the room and made a ruthless decision: "Okay, just according to what Dr. Li said." Tomorrow's sacrifice to the heavens! ”
