"Your Highness, rest assured, the territory that Shi Min now controls is just a small land for the entire Central Plains, and the population under his jurisdiction is only one million, and it is impossible to feed 100,000 soldiers and horses. What's more, among these millions of people, many of them are from our Qiang tribe, and in the previous battle of Yecheng, Shi Min seemed to have won, but he also pushed himself into the fire pit. When Emperor Gaozu was there, he Xihua Marquis Mansion could still be glorious for a while, and now he wants to take charge of Yecheng, but in fact, his name is not good, our people may not be convinced of him, and sooner or later there will be a big mess! ”

"Hahahaha, what the general said, it is really a unique insight!" Shi Jian said with a smile.

"So Your Highness, don't worry, maybe you don't need to do it, Shi Min himself will catch fire in the backyard!"

"Having said that, you can't just look at the will of God when you plant crops, you still have to do it when it's time to go to the ground!" Shi Jian deliberately hinted at Wang Luan.

"Your Highness said yes!" Wang Luan nodded, but did not continue to answer.

"General Wang, now that I'm waiting for someone to send someone under the fence, do you have any good ideas?" Gao Shangzhi asked.

"I'm a reckless man, what good ideas can I have? But even so, Xia Guan also thinks that these days, His Royal Highness continues to live in a simple place, so Liu Xian will definitely take the initiative to come to the door. ”

"How so?"

"Liu Xian is suspicious by nature, and the reason why he accepts His Royal Highness is purely because the lower officials have some old feelings with him. But for whether His Highness is friend or foe, after getting along with him for the past few days, his heart has not yet been decided. ”

"According to the old man, the reason why Liu Xian accepted us and others is probably more than that, right?" Gao Shang said calmly.

Wang Luan asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Liu Xianneng has today, what unsightly means do he rely on, the old man knows very well in his heart. These days, the old man has been thinking about how he could agree to take us in so easily that day, just now, the old man suddenly opened up and figured out some things. Gao Shangzhi said, looked at Shi Jian calmly, and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this Liu Xian has other plans." ”

"My lord, don't sell it now! Why didn't I see what my brother was trying to do? ”

"Liu Xian doesn't fancy your old relationship with him, but the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses we brought!"

"Fancy our soldiers?" Wang Luan was a little surprised and said, "My lord, what you said is a bit alarmist, right? ”

Although Liu Xian is not a very capable person, his greed is not small. Today's Zhao State can be said to be falling apart, and with his current strength Liu Xian, he can barely be regarded as a prince. But for him, one more centaur will harden his wings, and he must know such a simple truth. ”

"Hehe, what do you mean by saying that this Liu Xian also wants to establish a little merit in this troubled world?" Shi Jian asked with a calm smile.

That's exactly what the old minister meant! Your Highness must not let his guard down against him. ”

Wang Luan looked at the noble man with a serious face, and naturally he didn't want to believe it in his heart. But noble words, when you think about it, do have some truth. Although he and Liu Xian have old friends, they are not lifelong friendships, and they were married back then, purely because they were young and vigorous, since the two parted ways more than ten years ago, there have not been many contacts in recent years. Even if the brotherly relationship was good back then, after so long, I am afraid there is not much need to risk leaving a hidden danger around.

"Lord Gao, according to what you say, not only does my righteous brother not really take us in, but also wants to murder us?"

"I don't know if the general thinks what the old man said makes sense?" Gao Shangzhi asked.

Wang Luan didn't rush to express his position, because he knew that at this time, his situation was the most embarrassing. He looked at Shi Jian's reaction, and before he could speak, Shi Jian said, "General Wang, tell me, what have you talked about with Liu Xian in the past few days?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Liu Xian just talked about old things with the last general, and didn't say anything else."

"You've been in his mansion for four or five days, all talking about these things?" Shi Jian asked.

Wang Luan nodded and said: "The last general has mentioned His Highness many times, but Liu Xian has prevaricated for various reasons and resolutely does not talk about anything about His Highness, so the last general thinks that Liu Xian is wary of us." ”

Shi Jian and Gao Shangzhi looked at each other, and Gao Shangzhi said slowly: "The general has a heart!" ”

Wang Luan said to Shi Jian again: "Your Highness, if my righteous brother really has crooked intentions, why don't we leave quietly, so as not to set yourself on fire." ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?" Shi Jian thought for a while and said, "Where can we go without leaving Xiangguo?" Now Pan Jun in Youzhou, Shi Yong in Yanmen, and other royal relatives, do you think they will be much better than Liu Xian? According to this king, they are all raccoon dogs. Xiangguo is a good place, since this king is here, he doesn't plan to leave! Liu Xian has a ghost idea, and this king also has his own plan, it depends on whose means are higher! ”

Gao Shangzhi asked, "What are your highness's plans?" ”

"There wasn't before, but now there is!"

"The old man would like to hear about it."

Shi Jian pretended to be mysterious and asked, "My lord, what do you think this king will do if he hands over the military power of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Liu Xian?" ”

"Give the military power to Liu Xian?" Gao Shangzhi didn't seem to understand Shi Jian's intentions, and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"Hehe, he was worried about the king's men and horses, but he didn't dare to do it! What does this mean? This shows that Liu Xian has a thief's heart, but he has no thief's courage. Shi Jian gently tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly: "My lord is right, if you want to survive in this troubled world, you must either send someone under the fence or occupy the land as the king." There are not too many soldiers and horses, and since the king of the fight was about to hand over the king's letter to him, he may have had this idea! If this person is a hero, my lord, I'm afraid we would have already fallen to the ground by now. ”

"The last general doesn't understand, if he really has this plan, why does he delay doing it?"

"That's why this king said that he has a thief's heart and no thief's guts! Liu Xian had too many concerns and was indecisive. ”

"I don't know what His Highness just said, take the initiative to hand over the military power to Liu Xian, how do you understand it?" Gao Shangzhi asked.

"Since he is concerned, why doesn't this king take the initiative to hand it over to him? But this king expected that he would not dare to ask for it! ”

"Why is Your Highness so sure?"

"What does this kind of person think in his heart, this king can't understand it anymore, and when the military power is suddenly handed over to him, he will feel that this king is playing some conspiracy with him, isn't it?"

Gao Shangzhi frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Your Highness's plan can be described as a death and then life, unexpected, but dangerous and abnormal!" If this Liu Xian's fake play is really done, then wouldn't we lose our wife and soldiers? ”

"So for the sake of safety, it depends on how General Wang comes to accompany this king to act." Shi Jian looked at Wang Luan and said.

"Me?" Wang Luan was stunned.

"Of course, among those of us, Liu Xian must only believe you!"

Wang Luan didn't dare to be careless, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, what should the last general do?" Your Highness, please. ”

Shi Jian beckoned to Wang Luan and said, "General, come forward!" ”

Wang Luan hurriedly walked to Shi Jian, stepped forward, and listened to Shi Jian's instructions. Shi Jian gave a few words to Wang Luan, and Wang Luan was confused.

"Do you understand what this king means?" Shi Jian asked.

"I roughly understand......" Wang Luan frowned.

"General Wang, this matter is not trivial, if you still have doubts, I am afraid that you will mistake the matter of this king! Do you understand? Shi Jian looked at Wang Luan with a smile.

"Got it! The end will understand! Please rest assured, Your Highness! Wang Luan patted his chest and said.

Shi Jian sighed slightly, his expression suddenly became serious again, and said, "Instead of waiting, it's better to take the initiative!" ”

"Your Highness is going to see him?" Wang Luan asked.

"Nope! Not to see him directly! Shi Jian waved his hand, pointed at Wang Luan and said, "This king wants you to send a message!" ”
