Xiong Fei, the envoy of Qi State, listened to Fan Li tell about his unsatisfactory experiences in Wu State, believed it and showed sympathy. He said, "Brother, you're hard enough. Otherwise, you can go to the Qi Kingdom with me, with your talent and reputation, the King of Qi will definitely reuse you. ”

When Zimei heard this, she couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking to herself, this Xiong Fei is too easy to believe, right? Just listen to Fan Jun say this, do you believe it? With such an IQ, how can one engage in such a thing as diplomacy?

The diplomatic envoys of various countries are all better than monkeys. No matter what the situation encounters, it is not easy to jump to conclusions. We will conduct a comprehensive analysis from different angles, weigh the pros and cons, and make the most favorable decision.

For example, under normal circumstances, when the envoy hears Fan Li's words, he will think like this, why did he tell his dissatisfaction when he first came into contact, just to confide in him, or did he have other plans? How much of what he said was true? Where did he find a flaw? Wait a minute.

In fact, there is a reason why Xiong Fei just came into contact with Fan Li, and he looked at it with confidence. First of all, in addition to the qualities of a diplomat, he is also an honest man. The biggest characteristic of an honest person is that he does not think of people in a bad way. The most important point is that Fan Lizimei didn't know him, but she saved his life in danger and took care of him meticulously. He couldn't bring any benefit to Fan Li, Fan Li didn't know that he was an envoy of Qi before, and saving him was completely out of moral help. It was precisely this point that Fan Li gained his great trust and disarmed ideologically.

When Fan Li heard Xiong Fei's words, he smiled bitterly and said, "Big brother, thank you for your kindness." The younger brother served King Yue before, and now he serves King Wu, if he goes to serve King Qi again, what will the people of the world think? What would King Qi think? Do you still dare to trust Fan Li? The younger brother has made up his mind, and at the right time, he will withdraw from the rivers and lakes and live his own life. No one takes refuge. ”

Fan Li's last sentence was sincere.

Xiong Fei said: "Brother, what you said is also true, you are in a situation like Wu Kingdom, there is really no need to fight for your life." ”

Fan Li said: "Big brother, you are not bad in Qi Country, right?" ”

Xiong Fei said: "The eldest brother is okay, King Qi trusts me, and generally the suggestions I put forward, King Qi still accepts them." ”

Fan Li said: "Congratulations to the eldest brother. In the future, the younger brother will have no place to eat, so he will go to the eldest brother. ”

Xiong Fei said: "This is no problem. I will definitely recommend you to King Qi. ”

The king had a high level of trust in his diplomats. Because these people travel between the vassal states, they have to speak on behalf of the king, on behalf of the country, and they must be able to strive for a balance between multiple parties and maximize the interests of the country.

The two basic qualities of a diplomat, one is competence and the other is loyalty. Xiong Fei himself said that he mixed well with King Qi, so it would definitely not be bad.

This is an important piece of information for Fan Li. If King Qi really trusted Xiong Fei highly, he could take advantage of this and influence King Qi through Xiong Fei to make moves that were beneficial to the Yue Kingdom, so as to achieve his goal.

In fact, Xiong Fei is not a stupid rookie, he knows that it is Fan Li who saves him, and immediately thinks that he can get a lot of important information from Fan Li to help him complete his mission, and he is emotionally close to Fan Li, which also implies this purpose. This was caused by the diplomat's occupational disease, not deliberately playing tricks on Fan Li.

Fan Li's unsatisfactory mix in Wu is also an important information for Xiong Fei, out of trust in Fan Li, Xiong Fei asked Fan Li directly: "Brother, the eldest brother has a mission to come to Wu this time." I want to know the basic situation of Wu Guo. ”

Fan Li was stunned, this question was direct enough. said: "The eldest brother wants to know the basic situation of Wu Guo, and the younger brother can tell you." Wu Guo treats me badly, and I don't need to hide it for him. Wu Wangfucha was a blessed and eloquent man, Wu defeated Chu to the west, and destroyed Yue to the east, in these wars, Wu obtained a lot of wealth, so that Wu from a small country, to become a powerful country entrenched in the south, is one of the great powers that can compete with the Jin State and the Qi State. Moreover, in the past ten years, the wind and rain have been smooth, Wu has a bumper harvest every year, and the people have plenty of food and clothing. The country is strong. Invade and expand the territory of foreign countries. The eldest brother must know all these situations. ”

Xiong Fei said: "Yes, I know a little about these situations. ”

Fan Li said: "However, there is still a side that the eldest brother doesn't know, and that is the real situation."

"Oh?" Xiong Fei's interest came, "Brother, please speak!" ”

Fan Li said: "The real situation is. Wu's economy was already on the verge of collapse. The outside is strong and the middle is dry, the face is good-looking, and the inside is already in tatters. ”

Xiong Fei became excited: "Brother, let's be more detailed." ”

Fan Li said: "Over the years, Wu has done two major things, the first is to build Gusutai, and the second is to dig a ditch. The construction of Gusu Terrace is for the enjoyment of King Wu, and the digging of Hangou is to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass from the north to Gusu, and it is also for the Wu State Naval Division to enter the Hangou to the north, enter the sea through the Huai River, and cooperate with the army to attack the Qi State. ”

Xiong Fei took a breath of cold air and said, "Fucha's ambition is big enough. ”

Fan Li sneered and said: "This is just wishful thinking on the part of the husband, think about it, it took several years to complete the digging of the ditch." It took more than ten years to complete the construction of Gusutai. More than 100,000 migrant workers across the country have been working for more than 10 years, how much financial and human resources will it cost? These two things were done, but Wu Guo's family was also empty. Now the common people of Wu are starving, the land is barren, and the treasury is empty. In these cases, the eldest brother will take a look at Wu Guo. ”

Xiong Fei sighed and said, "What my brother said is the truth. No matter which vassal state can withstand such a toss. ”

Fan Li said: "There are still some internal conditions that cannot be seen. Although King Wu is a generation of male lords and has great talents, he is obsessed with the beautiful Xi Shi, and hands over the state affairs to Dazai Boyao to take care of, and he specializes in pleasure, which leads to the waste of state affairs. Xiangguo Wu Zixu was an old minister of the former dynasty, and he strongly opposed King Wu's obsession with beauty and the construction of Gusutai, how many times did King Wu fail to get off the stage, which caused a deep contradiction between their monarchs and ministers. King Wu almost didn't bring Wu Zixu to justice. ”

Xiong Fei said: "Brother, what you said is the truth? ”

Fan Li smiled: "Actually, these are public things, Fan Li doesn't need to lie to the eldest brother." ”

Xiong Fei said: "If these circumstances are true, Wu is now in a situation of internal and external difficulties, at home, the treasury is empty, the people are starving, and the monarchs and ministers are separated from Germany. Abroad, the great powers are watching and watching. The state of Wu is already very dangerous. ”

Fan Li said: "What the eldest brother said is right. If at this time, any powerful country starts a war and raises troops to attack Wu, Wu is really in danger. "Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "I am Fan Liclaw Book House" for free for the first time.
