Chapter 482: Combining Vertical and Horizontal (10)
~Date: ~October 26~
Bi Shu handed over the two invitations to Hu Yan and advised: "Send someone to send these two invitations out, one to Lou Mansion and one to Zhao Mansion, remember, the invitation to Lou Mansion is half an hour later than Zhao Mansion!" β
Hu Yan took the invitation and asked puzzledly: "Is the general in a hurry to invite Zhao Yan?" β
Bi Shu sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "If you want to persuade the Qi State to form an alliance with my Great Chu, I am afraid that it will not be possible to rely on the old fox Lou Jing alone, and you have to remove the stumbling block of Zhao Yan." β
"The general is talking about getting rid of Zhao Yan?" Hu Yan was stunned, "Just these two invitations?" β
Bi Shu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "General Huyan, don't underestimate these two invitations, as long as they are used properly, they are two murderous knives!" β
"Really?" Hu Yan was terrified.

At dusk, an invitation was quietly delivered to the residence of the military advisor Zhao Yan.
When the little official hurriedly walked into the study with the invitation card, Zhao Yan was sighing at the portrait of the former king Han Xin, the rift between the new monarch Han Xin and him was getting bigger and bigger, although he was full of knowledge, but he could only say that he could not do anything about it, once this person had preconceived notions, it was too difficult to change his opinion.
Moreover, Zhao Yan doesn't want to follow the villain's blind flattery, so he has to say it.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Zhao Yan asked without looking back, "What's the matter?" β
The little official under the door walked behind Zhao Yan in small steps, and replied respectfully: "Chu envoy Bishu sent an invitation to invite the military division to go to the camp outside the city for the evening feast. β
"Bishu invites me to a feast?" Zhao Yan turned back in amazement and took the invitation from the little official.
The little official retracted his hands, and suddenly said: "Military advisor, the villain thinks that there is no good banquet, so it's better not to go." β
"No good feast?" Zhao Yan put down the invitation card in his hand and said abruptly, "Could it be that it can still be a Hongmen banquet?" β
To tell the truth, Zhao Yan really finished the book meeting, if he could exchange his death for Qi to join the Lianheng Alliance. He would never be greedy for his life. However, Zhao Yan knows better, even if he has the will to die, he is afraid that Bi Shu will not do this, after all, this is the State of Qi and not the State of Chu, and Bi Shu will definitely not be unwise about this.
Of course, if it were a different occasion, I was afraid that Bi Shu would definitely not hesitate to start.
At that moment, Zhao Yan said: "It just so happens that in front of the king, this military division has some inconvenient words to go β to the banquet directly, and this military division just took the opportunity to make the words clear, so that Bi Shu can retreat as soon as possible." β
The little official wanted to persuade again, but Zhao Yan couldn't help but say: "You don't have to say more, go and prepare the car." β
"Whoa." Seeing that Zhao Yan had made up his mind, the little official didn't say anything more, and only went now.
After a while, the carriage was readyβ‘ Yan left the house and got into the car. came all the way to the outside of Linzi City, and when he arrived in the Chu camp, he was unexpectedly told that Bi Shu was not there.
After waiting in the big tent for nearly half an hour, Zhao Yan gradually became impatient, and was about to get up to leave, but Bi Shu's voice suddenly came from outside the tent, and Bi Shu seemed to be greeting another person. That person's voice sounded a little familiar, listen carefully, isn't it the Minister of State Lou Jing, what is Lou Jing doing here?
Suspicious in his heart, Zhao Yan withdrew his hands that were about to lift the curtain.
Through the curtain, I only heard Bi Shu say: "Lou Xiang, you obviously agreed to be here last night." But today's court discussion has never said a word? It's a good disappointment. β
Lou Jing seemed a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "General, why did you mention this old thing again?" Didn't the prime minister say it, Zhao Yan resolutely opposed it, and he was the first king entrusted to the lonely minister, before the prime minister had no real certainty, it was better not to express his position easily, otherwise if there was a dispute in the palace, there would be no room for turning around. β
Zhao Yan was furious in his heart, he really didn't expect that Lou Jing had secretly fallen to Chu State, although he knew that this was a game designed by Bi Shu, but Zhao Yan still couldn't control the anger in his chest, Lou Jing was not without eyesight, he couldn't see the essence behind the fog clearly, then, Lou Jing still chose to fall to Chu State, it can only mean that he is no longer optimistic about Qi State! β¦,
For Qi Guo and Zhao Yan, Lou Jing's actions were outright betrayal! This traitor!
At that moment, Zhao Yan suddenly opened the tent curtain and strode out, Bi Shu and Lou Jing, who were walking this way, instinctively retreated, and saw Zhao Yan walking out of the tent, Lou Jing couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't react at once.
The corners of Bi Shu's mouth showed a sly smile, and he waved at Zhao Yan: "Ah, Zhao Junshi has arrived?" β
Zhao Yan didn't bother to pay attention to Bi Shu at all, just glanced at Lou Jing coldly, and then walked away.
Looking at Zhao Yan's rapidly disappearing back, Lou Jing could only shake his head and smile bitterly, then turned his head and glared at Bi Shu, and said hatefully: "General, the prime minister treats you with sincerity, but you are calculating behind your back, this is too unkind, right?" Quite a few words"
"Uh, where did Lou Xiang start with this?" Of course, Bi Shu wouldn't admit it, and pretended to be stupid, "Didn't you say it below, in addition to Lou Xiang, there is another important guest at tonight's banquet." β
"But you didn't say that the other person is a military advisor?" Lou Jing paused and said, "Now you can pit your own appearance, and the military advisor is not allowed to go to the king's palace to tell the prime minister about his misfortune?" Speaking of this, Lou Jing suddenly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No, I have to go back to the city quickly and enter the palace overnight to see the king." β
Before the words fell, Lou Jing turned around and walked away.
"Lou Xiang walks slowly." Bi Shu waved his hand and smiled, "Don't send it." β
Lou Jing flicked his sleeves impatiently at Bishu, and soon disappeared into the night.
The tower-like figure of Huyan suddenly walked out of the shadows, approached Bi Shu and said, "General, I'm afraid that the Qi Kingdom is about to lose peace with each other, and now there is a lot of excitement." After a while, Hu Yan asked again, "General, who do you think will win this life-and-death battle in the end?" Zhao Yan or Lou Jing? β
"Do you need to talk about that?" Bi Shu said quietly, "Zhao Yan is too square, I don't know how to be flexible, Qi King Han Qi is already dissatisfied with him, if Lou Jing goes back and bites back, framing Zhao Yan and my Da Chu secretly making a joke, with Zhao Yan's gentlemanly nature, not only will he not defend anything, but he is afraid that he will kill himself Mingzhi?" β
After a pause, Bi Shu said again: "It's just a pity that Zhao Yan is another Kui Che." β
Hu Yan couldn't bear it, and said, "General, can you really say that Zhao Yan really can't survive?" β
Bi Shu sighed lightly and said, "Although this move is a bit inferior, it is really helpless. β
Hu Yan said with a big grin: "The general is bent on planning for Da Chu, so why blame himself? β
"Having said that, it is not a gentleman's act to plot behind the scenes." Bi Shu shook his head and said, "But the matter is urgent, if you wait for the senior brother to arrive in Linzi, I am afraid that there will be no more chances." β

On the galloping road from Handan to Linzi, three hundred Han hussars were escorting Bai Mo to gallop east overnight.
Zhou Guanfu urged Ma Jian to step forward and walk side by side with Bai Mo, and persuaded him a little: "Prime Minister, it has been several days since Bi Shu arrived in Linzi, maybe the attitude of King Han Qi has changed, let's go rashly like this, isn't it too dangerous?" Why don't you send a small official to the front station first, or the last general will go first? β
Bai Mo shook his head, and said worriedly: "You are brave and brave, but the strategy is insufficient, but this time you went to Linzi to compare it not by force but by wisdom, this matter involves the way of vertical and horizontal, you are definitely not the opponent of Bishu's junior brother, and it will not be possible to send a small official to go at will, and state affairs are not child's play." β
Zhou Guanfu said: "But Prime Minister, you are the giant tree of the Han Dynasty, and you can't get into danger." β
Bai Mo said: "Until now, the capital of Qi is still an ally of the Han Dynasty, and my junior brother can be as safe as a rock in the capital of the enemy country, and as the prime minister of the ally country, will his life be in danger?" After that, Bai Mo reached out and patted Zhou Guanfu's shoulder again, and said, "Shengzhi, I don't expect that Han Qian will not be unwise about this." ββ¦,
"That's fine." Zhou Guanfu clenched his hands tightly, and said fiercely, "If that Han Xiao'er really has bad intentions, the last general will fight for his life, and he will definitely protect the prime minister to fight his way out of the encirclement." β
Bai Mo waved his hand, and said: "I don't care about my own safety, but some Lou Jing will be persuaded by Bi Shu, if Lou Jing joins forces with Bi Shu, Zhao Yan is only afraid that he will not be able to parry, plus Zhao Yan is a gentleman who does not know how to change, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss, mine, when we arrive, the situation of Qi has been played by Bi Shu into a dead chess." β

Han Qi yawned and walked into the side hall, and shouted at Lou Jing, who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, with some dissatisfaction: "When is this, Prime Minister, you can't talk about it tomorrow, so you have to be at this time?" Really. β
Seeing Han Yan's nirvana, Lou Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, it seems that Zhao Yan is really a gentleman, he didn't run to Han Yan to tell right and wrong.
However, Lou Jing could only say sorry to Zhao Yan.
Lou Jing said respectfully: "The king, the minister has important things to do, so I have to come to see him at night."
"Alright, alright." Han Qi waved his hand impatiently and said, "What did you play?" β
Lou Jing stood up again, lowered his voice and said: "King, after nightfall, the minister casually found an excuse to go to the Chu camp outside the city, I wanted to explore the bottom of the Chu people, but I never expected to meet the military advisor in the Chu camp!" β
"Hey, what's this?" Han Qi said disapprerovingly, "Most of the military advisors are like you, and they want to find out the bottom of the Chu people. β
"If things are so simple, how dare the minister enter the palace at night to disturb the king's dreams?" Lou Jing said, "It was dark at night, and the minister hid in the night outside the Chu camp, and he clearly saw that Bi Shu had been sending the military division out of the gate, and the two of them were talking and laughing, and they even whispered for a long time when they parted, but they didn't know what they were talking about. β
"Is there such a thing?" Han Qi's face sank in an instant.
But soon, Han Qi said again: "No, it's still not right, the military advisor is strongly opposed to forming an alliance with the Chu State, how can he get involved with Bi Shu?" β
"I don't know this minister either." Lou Jing spread his hands and said, "King, why don't you summon the military advisor and ask." β
"It's fine." Han Yan nodded, and immediately summoned the palace attendants to summon Zhao Yan.
