At some point, four more people sat down at the table on the left. Compared to the samurai with fiery personalities, these four men are gentle and polite, and are clearly scribes between the four grasses.

"Brother Tang, we are becoming more and more incomprehensible in this world, the armies of various countries are at war and peaceful, and the relations between countries are intertwined, and it is difficult to see the leopard. You are known to be a great talent, what do you think about the current situation, can you break it down for us? The three scribes looked at one of the scribes in unison and asked sincerely.

"Since you have been invited, I will share some of my views with you, but these remarks are the words of one family and cannot be relied on." The scribe smiled and continued: "In order to see the general trend of the world, we need to admit a truth, and this truth is 'The great plan of the country is based on the interests of the people; The way to profit is the end of war'. ”

The scribe paused, and then continued: "Today, let's talk about my Zhao Kingdom as an example! The first thing to talk about is the relationship between the Qin State and my Zhao State. ”

For Qin, the defeat of Que made it realize that it was impossible to destroy Zhao in a battle, so it became the only choice to encroach on Zhao's territory and consume Zhao's national strength. And the alternation of thrones and the infighting among the courtiers in Zhao just gave them the opportunity to play with ease in the Zhao court, which is also an important reason for the recent repeated big melee in the Handan court. ”

For Zhao, the rapid elimination of the chaos of the period of power change was the top priority of the moment, and the struggle for foreign hegemony became a secondary task. As long as the demands made by foreign enemies are not too excessive, the imperial court will basically endure this breath and write down the account for the future to be claimed with interest. This is also the reason why Qin Guo stretched out his arm of peace recently, and Zhao Guo quickly shook it. ”

……

The young scribe talked eloquently, and Zhao Jie listened quietly. When the scribe finally spoke of the Han-Zhao relationship, Zhao Jie couldn't help but applaud his keen observation and brilliant ideas. The applause attracted the attention of the scribes, Zhao Jie stood up, walked in front of the scribe, and muttered praise: "Sir's good idea, it is almost the same as the idea below, it is really the same as the hero's vision!" ”

Several scribes looked at Zhao Jie in unison, with puzzled expressions: "Child, do we know you?"

Zhao Jie continued: "This is our first meeting. Mind if I sit here? Go on, don't worry about me, I'll just listen with my ears! ”

"Next, let's talk about it and take a look at Han Zhao's relationship." The scribe glanced at Zhao Jie before continuing. "According to reliable information from Handan, Han and Zhao have formed an alliance, and I, Zhao, will send troops to guard the second county of Shangdang Pingyang with South Korea."

"Use my Zhao army to defend the territory of South Korea, what kind of reason is this, there must be traitors in the DPRK." Zhao Jie opened his mouth and said with a little resentment.

"Don't be angry, there are no traitors in the DPRK, and the troops sent to the Korean Shangdang and Pingyang to assist in the defense are for the decisive battle between Qin and Zhao in the future. Slowing down Qin's advance with a vast strategic depth in exchange for enough time to prepare for the recurrence of a swift assault war such as the Battle of Que. ”

"Makes sense!" Zhao Jie applauded again and exclaimed.

The scribe saluted Zhao Jie and continued: "At the same time, for Korea, after the Battle of Huayang, the domestic elite was lost. At this moment, if you can get the help of Zhao State's troops, you can keep more land, which is naturally unwanted. Moreover, it pushed Zhao Guo to the forefront of the struggle, and it could ensure the existence of South Korea under the protection of Zhao Guo, which is in response to the sentence: 'It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree'. ”

"I see!" Several scribes who listened sighed when they heard this: "Thank you Brother Lu for your advice!" ”。 Zhao Jie also applauded again.

At this moment, Lian Po led a few guards straight into the teahouse and found Zhao Jie. On their faces, everyone could see the traces of wind and dust, and they all guessed the identity of the people in their army.

The sudden arrival of Lian Po and his party made the atmosphere in the teahouse abruptly change.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"The ...... of the palace" Lian Po and the others wanted to bow down as soon as they found Zhao Jie, but they were stopped in time by a gesture from Zhao Jie, and then they could only find a nearby seat and walk down.

"Several gentlemen are all talented people who have buried themselves in the countryside, and there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Zhao Jie pretended to have something unspeakable and said hesitantly.

"Meeting is fate, let's listen, if I can help, I will help you." A scribe said in a haughty manner.

So, Zhao Jie got up and pointed to Lian Po who was not far away and said: "A few brothers, that is the patriarch of my clan, who has been disturbed by trivial matters recently, and is eager to find a solution. ”

"We are all people from the rivers and lakes, and we can only promise you to do our best, but we can't guarantee that we will be able to help your patriarch solve the problem." The scribe who had just broken down the situation in the world said modestly.

"Believe in the sir." Zhao Jie said with a smile. After speaking, he walked in front of Lian Po with a few people.

"Patriarch! These are small Magi, and I'm sure they'll be able to answer your questions. Zhao Jie bowed to Lian Po.

Lian Po was stunned, and immediately reacted. "In Xia Houye, he is the patriarch of the Hou clan who lives in the mountains, and he has not yet consulted a few daimyos." Lian Po made up a name and said politely.

"In the Lower Tangtong." "Under Moze." "Under Du Yan. "Right below." The four scribes introduced themselves in turn.

"Everyone, please sit down, let go of eating and drinking, old body treat!" Lian Po said heroically.

"Sit!" A few scribes gave a polite sigh, and then sat down one after another.

With three cups of tea in his stomach, Lian Po opened his mouth and said: "Recently, the relationship between my clan and the neighbors in the west has become worse and worse, and I want to strengthen the defense of the west, but the generals in the west will not listen to the propaganda or the tune, and they will not take me in their eyes at all. ”

"The easiest way is to send a few masters and assassinate them, so that there will be no trouble left behind." A scribe said without thinking.

"Bad idea, you're taking a risk. I think we can give them promotions, tempt them with higher positions, and corrupt them with greater power. Another scribe offered his opinion.

"If you want to use your method, I don't know how many years and months it will take to solve the problem, and if you don't do it, you will be burned. In my opinion, it is advisable for the soldiers to press the border, guide the people's hearts, and use the yang to conspire against them, and the conspiracy will be exposed sooner or later, and then it will definitely backfire against the perpetrators. Another scribe offered his opinion.
