After deducing his guess again, Lu Zixu couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of this layout.

"Unexpectedly, I, Lu Zixu, think very highly of myself, conceit and talent, but in front of the king, it is not worth mentioning at all......" Lu Zixu sighed.

Once upon a time, when Jiang Shen rebelled, he also made suggestions, thinking that the position of the monarch of the sea country had to change hands.

even doubted the level of the king, but he was directly taught to be a man by 300,000 taels of silver at that time, and his face was beaten.

Ridiculous, ridiculous! I'm afraid that in the eyes of the king, his so-called schemes are just pediatrics!

The gap between him Lu Zixu and the king is afraid that there are a hundred Shangyang in the middle!

Take this envoy to Lu State as an example, Lu Zixu also realized it later, and after getting the news that Qi was defeated and Wu Zhu was about to send an envoy to Qi State, he cautiously speculated the king's actions.

But when the king made the layout, the Qilu War still had the upper hand in the Qi State!

Lu Zixu couldn't help but marvel again and again.

It turned out that when Wang Shang sent him as an envoy to the Lu State, he had already discovered the defeat in the prosperity of the Qi State!

So when he came to the state of Lu, the state of Lu happened to turn defeat into victory, and the king of Qi just needed someone to mediate the truce!

His envoy is just right at the moment, and it will inevitably make King Qi pay more attention to Haiguo!

And the Lu country also suffered a lot of losses in the war, if you can rely on 500,000 taels of silver to gain the favor of the Lu country, then this deal can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

Wonderful, the king is really a generation of heroes, such a layout, such a vision, is absolutely rare in the world!

Therefore, I can't drop the chain at a critical moment......

Only if he finds a way to reach some degree of alliance with Lu State, so that Lu State can really withdraw his troops, and Wu Zhu can use this as capital to negotiate conditions with King Qi!

With such an analysis, Lu Zixu instantly discovered that he was the most critical link in the king's layout!

Lu Zixu was grateful.

Wait and see, Your Majesty! Minister, I will do my best to help you achieve your ambitions!

"Let's go, enter the city, and meet Lu Guogong!" Lu Zixu gave an order to his entourage!

……

Lu State, Royal Palace.

Lu Zixu handed over the credentials and expressed his intention to Lu Guogong.

Lu Guogong frowned, thought for a moment, and then remembered what kind of country Haiguo was.

This is not to blame him, after all, the location of the Lu State is already close to the hinterland of the Central Plains, in addition to the Qi State in the east, there are also Jin States, Zheng States, Song States and other countries that rule more than a dozen to dozens and hundreds of cities.

Therefore, Haiguo, which is far away by the sea and has only a few cities, did not attract the attention of Lu Guogong for a while.

"The envoy of the sea country is coming, what is the so-called matter?" Lu Guogong glanced at the national letter casually and asked casually.

"I came to save the country of Lu." Lu Zixu said.

As the saying goes, the words are not shocking and endless, Lu Zixu came up and boasted, approaching the lifeline of the Lu country.

Regardless of whether the other party believes it or not, bluff people at the beginning, and then proceed with the words later.

Otherwise, if you just say that you are here for the sea country, I am afraid that you will be directly blasted out of the court?

After hearing this, Lu Guogong really came a little interested, of course, this interest was more of a mockery.

Lu Guogong sneered: "Lu and Haiguo, thousands of miles apart, and the land of Haiguo is weak, how dare you say that you are here to save Lu?" ”

"The widow has just defeated the Qi State, and the momentum is flourishing, so why should he be rescued?"

Lu Zixu obviously came prepared, and said embarrassedly: "Lu Guogong's words are wrong! As far as I know, the Lu State will defeat the Qi State, and it will lose a lot of itself, right? ”

"Qi is strong and Lu is weak, and Lu reluctantly won with the help of Cao Gui, but the treasury is empty, the people are not living, and the follow-up is weak."

"Dare to ask Lu Guogong, next to Qi Guo, will you fight or not?"

"If you fight, the national strength of Lu will be unsustainable, and if you continue to go deeper, it will inevitably cause resentment among the people, and even soldiers will mutiny! Isn't Lu Guogong afraid? ”

"If you don't fight, give the Qi country a chance to breathe, with the size of the Qi country, reorganize the army and make a comeback, can the Lu country resist?"

The more Lu Guogong listened, the more frightened he became.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this kind of problem, but now the court of Lu State is in the excitement of defeating Qi State, which makes him feel that Lu State is great, and there is no need to worry about these problems.

But Lu Zixu gushed endlessly, and the head of the analysis was the Tao, but he poured a basin of cold water on the monarchs and ministers of the Lu State, which surprised the Lu State court!

None of them thought that their country would be so dangerous, and they didn't see through it!

But it was a small country that pointed out their shortcomings!

With the small city-state of Haiguo, there can be a figure like Lu Zixu who has insight into the overall situation!

This is the master!

Lu Guogong's body suddenly sat up straight, and his attitude was much better: "Come and take a seat." Since the gentleman can point out the disadvantages of the government of the widow, I wonder what the gentleman has to teach him? ”

Lu Zixu said: "The difficulty of the Lu country lies in whether to fight or not. Since it is difficult to fight or not to fight, why can't we open up a third way, which is called not fighting for the time being? ”

Lu Guogong was puzzled: "What does it mean not to fight for the time being?" ”

Lu Zixu said: "Duke Lu can send a letter of state with the King of Qi to express his willingness to truce." ”

"Take this opportunity to reorganize the internal affairs of the Lu State, strengthen the troops, and wait until the time is ripe, and then fight to the death with the Qi State!"

Lu Guogong was silent.

However, a courtier of Lu State stood up and said: "The treasury of Lu State is empty, even if you recuperate, it will be difficult to improve for a while, but it will delay the warplane." The envoy of the sea country has empty words and white teeth, why should I let the Lu country withdraw from the army? ”

"My king, the monarch of this sea country just married the princess of Qi some time ago, and sent a messenger here at this time, I am afraid it is to cover for Qi country, my king don't believe it!"

Lu Zixu laughed: "I'm not empty and white-toothed, I came here with full sincerity." I have 500,000 taels of silver here, I don't know Lu Guogong, do you feel excited? ”

Lu Guogong was taken aback.

500,000 taels of silver!

Although the territory of Lu is not small, 500,000 taels of silver is not much. But at this time, the war has just ended, and the 500,000 taels of silver are definitely the happiness of a long drought!

Lu Guogong stood up with a "Teng".

"The envoy of the sea kingdom, are you saying that as long as the widow agrees to a temporary truce, the 500,000 taels of silver will all belong to the widow?"

Lu Guogong's face was uncontrollable with excitement.

After all, he was also poor and crazy in this battle!

"Well, this silver ......," Lu Zixu replied, and suddenly stopped talking.

Originally, according to the king's explanation, he gave 500,000 taels of silver to Lu Guo, and Lu Guo agreed to strike the army, and this matter was successfully completed.

But he suddenly thought about one more step, and this step was exactly what the king reminded him!

Haiguo is not just to be a silver giver, but to complete the overall layout of the king!

Lu Zixu bit his lip lightly.

The king worked so hard, how could he not be a courtier?

He wants to play a trick, seek wealth and danger, and seek the greatest interests for the sea country!
