On this day, Shile was in the front hall of the palace, with a brocade cloth wrapped around his head to avoid the wind, standing in front of a huge topographical map, frowning and looking carefully, thinking to himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although he has already established the country and become king, he does not feel that he can enjoy the dignity in peace, on the contrary, there is not a day when he is not planning and planning, and he is full of military affairs, and he still feels heavy pressure. I didn't even sleep much, and I slept peacefully. He had been sick for more than half a month, but today he has only improved slightly.

At present, there is a section of Xianbei in the northeast who is still fighting against him, attacking and harassing from the south from time to time, and there is Shao Xu, the assassin of Jizhou in the Jin Dynasty. Tuoba Xianbei in the north, who had been heavily injured by the Qin army and had been dormant for several years, seemed to have eased his anger recently, but he stretched out his minions to his state and looted several times, so angry that Shile scolded Tuoba Yulu for being a soft bone who did not dare to take revenge. Qingzhou in the south has just been pacified, although Cao Wei is dead, but there is still a warlord Xu Gong to occupy the area of Mount Tai, rebellion and time, capriciousness is a scourge, after all, we must try to get rid of it. And the land of Yuzhou, although it has long been coveted, but Zu Ti has just died, although Zu Yue is unbearable, it is not a waste that can be swallowed in one bite, so he can only plot slowly, and he can't get it in a hurry.

The situation was already chaotic, and recently the old enemy Liu Yao has expanded and risen, and it is difficult to contain. If the above opponents can bite Shi Le all over his body, then Liu Yao is the most lethal to seal his throat. The foundation of the former Zhao is strong, and he inherited the foundation of the old Han Kingdom, and boasted of the orthodoxy after the Gaozu Emperor Liu Yuan.

Looking at the topographic map, in the Yanyu area, the newly marked red line representing the lost area, Shi Le's heart suddenly became anxious. Yuzhou is not expected for the time being, if Yanzhou is lost again, then he finally stood in the Central Plains, which is equivalent to being cut off by Liu Yaosheng, and then he had to retreat to Hebei in disgrace, and continued to guard his own acre and three points of land in vain.

The thought of this almost made Shiler's eyes burst into flames. It took a lot of effort and a little sinister experience to get to where I am today, and I gave up halfway to admit defeat, and there was only one dead word in the end. Only by withstanding the pressure and going against the current can we have the opportunity to create a bigger piece of the sky. From the lowest slave to the mighty emperor, Shi Le has always only recognized himself, never accepted his fate, and his heart has long been tempered with tenacity and coldness.

When his mind was running like flying, Zhang Bin was waiting for Zhang Bin to call the king outside and bow down to greet him. Seeing that it was him coming, Shi Le hurriedly beckoned: "Ah, the right wait is here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come close and speak." ”

"Hearing the king's summons, Bin didn't dare to delay, and came immediately, especially too late." Zhang Bin saw that Shi Le's brows were tightly locked, and he seemed more and more disfigured in the past few days, so he said earnestly: "In ancient times, the emperors started their businesses, and there was never a smooth sailing reason. The saint descended from heaven to show great means under the guise of his extraordinary will. The current situation is indeed a bit tricky, but the improvisation is that the king must take care of his noble body, so that I, Da Zhao, can calm the world as soon as possible. ”

The two of them, who met in their early years, were like a fish in water and trusted each other. Shi Le knew that Zhang Bin cared for himself from the bottom of his heart, so he couldn't help but nodded, and even stretched his eyebrows, and said with emotion: "You are very grateful for your love." Only you can really put loneliness in your heart. Speaking of Lone's body, it is not just caused by worry and anxiety, after so many years of fighting, old injuries always recur, and gradually aging over the years, Lone is no longer the Shi Shilong of the fast horse rivers and lakes back then! ”

Zhang Bin has been with him for many years, in addition to the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, there is also the love of old friends. Although he was sad at the moment, in order not to make Shi Le depressed, he pretended to smile lightly and comforted him a few times.

Shi Le muttered: "It's not that I don't want to be leisure. Now the situation is not only a little tricky, it is simply difficult. You Hou also heard about it, a few days ago, Wang Teng, the general of Bingzhou, suddenly assassinated the lonely Bingzhou assassin Shi Cui Kun, and surrendered Liu Yao to the land of Bingzhou. At present, in addition to Yan and Henan, the state is also in chaos, and he has no choice but to send Shi Kan and Kui'an to quell the rebellion. And Shihu Shisheng, who couldn't understand the lonely mood, actually fought with each other, and the good situation that was easy to get was ruined again. How can Liu Yao be an ordinary person? He immediately seized the opportunity, and now he is overwhelmed by our army. When he mentioned this, Lone was furious, if it weren't for Shi Hushi Shengsheng to atone for his sins, Lone would have really cut off the heads of these two dogs. ”

"Alas. Zhongshan and Hedong are both men with distinct personalities, strong and tough, and both have made all kinds of feats for the king, so that they despise each other and disagree with each other. In the future, it is best for the king to have a heart-to-heart conversation with the two of them, and resolve the anger in his heart. Zhang Bin also sighed a few times, and said: "I thought that the chaos of the annexation of the state was just a disease of mustard." Liu Yao's current resurgence of momentum is the trouble of his henchmen. Our army is in the Central Plains, struggling to contend with each other, although the second duke has returned to preside over the military, but if you want to win, it will take time. The minister has been thinking about it repeatedly at home for several days, but he has a suggestion that he wants to present to the king for his consideration. ”

"Please say what you have to say." Shi Le's spirits perked up, and he knew that Zhang Bin either didn't have an idea, as long as he opened his mouth, he would come up with good words. Over the years, Shi Le has relied on Zhang Bin's extraordinary wisdom to fight his way out and break through his own foundation in the cold and sinister troubled times.

"It's not a clever plan this time, it's just the most suitable plan for the current situation." Zhang Bin said eloquently: "Now, the remnant Jin retreats to Jiangnan, and he doesn't talk about him. In the Central Plains, although there are also Liangzhou Zhang clan, Pingzhou Murong clan, Daidi Tuoba clan and other large and small mountains coexist, but after all, the power is still shallow, at best they are warlords. In a real sense, in fact, it is the coexistence of three kingdoms, from east to west is my Great Zhao, Liu Yao's pseudo-Zhao and Gao Yue's Qin State. ”

Wang Shuchen bluntly said that among the Three Kingdoms, Liu Yao inherited countless favorable conditions from the old Han Kingdom because of his former status and inheritance, resulting in his current territory being small, but in comparison, his strength is the strongest. Although my Da Zhao can sometimes defeat him locally, it is more difficult to completely suppress or even eliminate him. On the other hand, if Liu Yao raises an army to attack me, may I ask the king, can I win? ”

Shile was silent, and only shook his head for a moment. Zhang Bin praised: "The king is never arrogant, let alone arrogant, this is the real imperial mentality, and he will have the world in the future." Besides, why didn't Liu Yao attack me with all his might? It's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare. Because he had to devote a considerable part of his energy to dealing with Gao Yue in the West. ”

"Today's situation, in fact, to put it bluntly, is that my Da Zhao is in the east, Gao Qin is in the west, and in the middle of the two sides, Liu Yao is sandwiched, and they are all moving and pulling the whole body. Since he and Gao Qin are not sure that they will destroy Liu Yao on their own, why don't they communicate with each other, make an appointment, and suddenly attack at the same time? ”

Shi Le's eyes blinked, and he couldn't help but argue: "Is the right candidate saying, Lian Gao will destroy Liu?" But in the past few years, I have been fighting with Liu Yao, and Gao Yue in the West has been fighting against Liu Yao for a long time and has never stopped. From a practical point of view, doesn't this mean that Gao Yue and I are constantly beating Liu Yao, and how can we flank them? ”

Zhang Bin smiled and said unhurriedly: "Although it seems to be so, the actual situation is not." Although both of us are constantly attacking Liu Yao, you fight yours and I fight mine, and they have never paid attention to each other. Often when I was bleeding desperately, the Qin State was recuperating from the cessation of troops; While he couldn't fight, we just happened to focus on something else. Therefore, Liu Yao can always deal with it calmly, and he is not very embarrassed to dispatch troops to fight in the east and west. ”

"According to the minister's intentions, this time must be different. The king prepared some generous gifts, sent a handwritten letter to Gao Yue, made an appointment with him, exchanged news, demarcated the scope, and then at the same time sent a strong army to attack the pseudo-Zhao, Liu Yao will inevitably be at a loss, and the two sides are difficult to take care of, even if Liu Yao has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to do anything. ”

Shi Le snorted, thoughtfully, thought about it and frowned slightly: "The words of the right candidate are not bad. But when Gu heard that Gao Yue had always regarded himself as a courtier of the Jin Dynasty, and it was his duty to expel Hu Lu, so he was inseparable from Liu Yao. Gu is the Qiang clan, the death of the Northern Jin Dynasty, Gu Ye also made a great effort, it is the object of his Gao Yue's hatred, how can he be willing to cooperate with me? ”

Zhang Bin shook his head, raised his hand and analyzed: "Forgive the minister, the king is a fan of the authorities, and the minister will solve the confusion for the king: Gao Yue once called himself a Jin minister, but this time and that time are also. In the past, he was weak and weak, and he did not claim to be a Jin minister, how could he buy people's hearts? Now he already has the land of five states, let alone in the northwest, even if he looks at the world, he is also one of the few powerful princes. The remnants of Jin are in the middle of Jiangdong, not to mention controlling Gao Yue, it is a fetter, and it also requires painstaking efforts to try all kinds of ideas to entrap him, and try not to teach him to be openly independent and embarrassing. Since the situation is like this, even if Gao Yue still doesn't have the intention of being called the king and emperor, his subordinates guarantee that they don't have the heart to support it? ”

"In the troubled times, no matter how martial arts are practiced, they all want to follow the Ming Lord to pacify the four seas, and they can also win fame and earn a future for their children and grandchildren. Even if it is a minister, it is not exempt from vulgarity, and I hope that the king will sit in Kyushu as soon as possible, so that he can be regarded as famous. Most of his Gao Yue's subordinates also slowly came up from the bottom, don't you want Gao Yue to go one step further and become a minister of the dragon himself? Therefore, the minister said that this is the natural need of people's normal psychology, and at this point, they can't push it off if they want to. At that time, the civil and military forces of the Qin State are about to stir up the crowd, and they will definitely support him to be called the king and the emperor, and what position will they take to be the courtiers of the remnants of the Jin Dynasty? ”

Shi Le's expression eased a little, and motioned for Zhang Bin to continue.

"Besides, Gao Yue's hatred of Hu Xian's people can't be changed. However, Gao Yue has risen from a poor and lowly person to his current status, and he can be regarded as an outstanding hero. But all heroes must have a long-term vision, and their scheming is never rigid. The minister thought that he must have known that there were no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. At present, the fierce enemy who is closely related to him is also Liu Yao, if he can destroy the common enemy with me, why not? As for Liu Yao's demise, I will confront him and things, and I will have no worries at that time, let go of the battle, and see who has the ability to laugh to the end. This might as well be made clear to Gao Yue, but it can make him calm. ”
