Wei State, Kyoto.

Bai Qi sat on the dragon seat in the imperial study with a gloomy face, this seat that could only be sat by emperors in the past, in the imperial study where there were no outsiders now, Bai Qi finally sat down with peace of mind.

Looking at the reply letter from Yong'an in his hand, Bai Qi sneered, threw the letter to Shi Cai, who was held by two soldiers below, and said, "See, this is your brother who will do everything to help, under your life and half of the land in Huazhou, he still gave up on you." ”

Shi Cai only glanced at the letter on the ground, and then withdrew his gaze.

With a chuckle, Shi Cai looked at Bai Qi with a little disdain and said, "Do you want to use this to provoke the relationship between me and Xiao Chen?" You're underestimating my talents. ”

"Xiao Chen and I have almost grown up together, I can't understand what kind of character he is, I was worried that he would cheapen you because of impulse, but now I can rest assured."

Bai Qi snorted: "Do you know that Xiao Chen rejected my conditions, what kind of fate will you and the Shi family face?" ”

"Isn't it just death, what's so scary?" Shi Cai turned his head, his face fearless.

Bai Qi sighed with emotion: "It seems that I really underestimated the relationship between you and Xiao Chen. It's a pity that Xiao Chen refuses to agree to my request, and you will die soon. The so-called touching friendship is also coming to an end. ”

In the face of Bai Qi's threat, Shi Cai raised his neck and said with righteousness: "Even if you come, if I Shi Cai blink, I will have your surname Bai Qi." ”

"Stubborn!" waved his hand without any waves, and just as the two guards were about to press Shi Cai to leave the imperial study, one of the guards hurriedly walked into the main hall.

Taking a deep look at Shi Cai, who was suppressed by the two, the guard walked quickly to Bai Qi, and then muttered in a low voice.

On the main seat, Bai Qi's face also became more and more solemn with the guard's report.

It wasn't until he listened to the guard's report that Bai Qi's eyes were already tightly wrinkled.

"What a madman." He complained coldly, looking at Shi Cai, who was about to be escorted out of the imperial study, Bai Qi was silent for a moment, and then said loudly: "Leave him alive first, put him in the heavenly prison and keep him under strict guard, in the future, I may be able to use his place." ”

The guard responded when he heard this, and then left quickly with Shi Cai.

It wasn't until Shi Cai walked away that Bai Qi took a deep breath, looked at the messenger who reported the news, and said, "Where is Xiao Chen's army?" ”

The messenger bowed down and said: "General Hui, just a day ago, Xiao Chen suddenly mobilized 150,000 troops from Huazhou, and united with the 200,000 troops stationed on the border of Huazhou, a total of 35 major armies, and they have already left Huazhou. ”

"Yuzhou, which borders Huazhou, has already fallen after holding out for less than half a day."

"Yuzhou Taishou died in battle, and Yuzhou fell into the hands of Xiao Chen, but after occupying Yuzhou, Xiao Chen did not continue to wave his troops north, but was stationed in Yuzhou."

Bai Qi nodded: "That's right, I understand Xiao Chen's character, he is not a belligerent and ambitious person." This time the troops were sent out for the sake of Shi Cai. ”

The messenger said with a heavy face: "General, now that the climate in Huazhou has become a reality, let's start a war with Huazhou at this time, the outcome is unknown, I am thinking, for the sake of Shi Cai, and Xiao Chen will fight to the death now, is it really appropriate?" ”

Bai Qi chuckled and said: "I have a battle with him after all, but if he sticks to Huazhou, with his current strength, I think it will not be easy to attack rashly, but now that he has waved his troops out of Huazhou, the victory or defeat is only between the first battle." ”

"Instead of continuing to drag on and watching Xiao Chen continue to grow, it is better to divide the victory and defeat earlier."

With an evil smile, Bai Qi continued: "Isn't he Xiao Chen going to fight, so I'll play with him." ”

"Yes!" The messenger bowed and nodded.

Waving his hand, Bai Qi said: "Go, send a message to Xiao Chen, just say that I will not let Shi Cai go, if he wants to save Shi Cai, he will fight all the way to Kyoto." I, Bai Qi, are waiting for him in Kyoto. ”

"Yes!" The messenger bowed, and then stepped back quickly.

In the empty imperial study, Bai Qi slowly took out the letter "On Breaking Huazhou's Strategy" from under the dragon case, and an intriguing smile appeared on his face.

……

Qianguo.

Gu Bai, the left minister, bowed to the empress Shangguan Wan and said: 33

"Your Majesty, now that the Wei State and the Xia Kingdom have been fighting one after another, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks about this?"

Shangguan Wan smiled slightly: "What does the Prime Minister mean?" ”

Gu Bai said in a condensed voice: "Your Majesty, the four kingdoms of the world, Wei, Xia, Wu, and Qian. Now that there are two civil strife in the four kingdoms, why doesn't Your Majesty take this opportunity to occupy Wei and Xia in one fell swoop? ”

Shangguan Wan said: "You mean, rob while the fire is hot?" ”

Gu Bai said: "Now that the two countries are in turmoil, there must be no time to take care of anything else, at this time, if our country sends troops to attack, it will definitely be able to make a final decision." ”

Shangguan Wan nodded: "It's indeed a good idea, but it's a pity, there are four countries in the world, Wei State." Although the Xia Kingdom is in chaos, what about the Wu Kingdom? ”

"Do you really think that the Wu Kingdom will sit back and watch my Qian Kingdom dominate?"

"On the contrary, don't steal chickens and rice when the time comes, but fight with Wu Guo and let others take advantage of the loophole."

Gu Bai smiled slightly and said, "This matter, Weichen has also considered it, but what if we join forces with Wu Guo?" ”

Shangguan Wan didn't speak, with an intriguing look on her face, motioning for Gu Bai to continue.

Gu Bai paused and continued: "Your Majesty, the intersections between countries are all based on interests, if we form an alliance with Wu and carve up Wei and Xia with him, wouldn't it be a good thing?" ”

Shangguan Wan pondered for a moment and said: "I haven't thought about what you said, but Wu Guo has already made arrangements for Xia Guo, and if he proposes to join forces at this time, Wu Guo may not be reconciled." ”

Gu Bai frowned and thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the matter is man-made, otherwise, let Weichen go to Wu State to explore Wu Guo's tone?" ”

Nodding slightly, Shangguan Wan said softly: "It's okay, then you can go to Wu Kingdom." ”

……

After Gu Bai left, Shangguan Wan looked at the pillars of the main hall and said, "Prime Minister Wei Yu, do you think Gu Bai can convince Wu Guo this time?" ”

In the darkness, Wei Yu walked out slowly.

Twisting his beard and pondering for a moment, Wei Yu shook his head softly and said: "Originally, this matter is of great benefit to both Wu and Qian, but in terms of my understanding of the situation in the Xia Kingdom, as well as the understanding of the soldier immortal in the Wu Kingdom, Prime Minister Gu Bai went to the Wu Kingdom this time, most of them could not be discussed." ”

"Oh?" A look of curiosity flashed on Shangguan Wan's delicate face: "How do you say this?" ”

Wei Yu said: "The three major strategists in the world, Ji Wushuang, Zhuge Hou, and Leng Changfeng. Not to mention the first two, the collapse of the Six Kingdoms was their masterpiece, and in the end, Leng Changfeng, although he did not have such a gorgeous record as the previous two, made Wu Guo sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and he was better at forbearance and control. This is the difference between Leng Changfeng and the two of them. ”

"Such a person will definitely not easily put Wu Guo on the cusp, he will only encroach on Xia Guo step by step. This point, since he occupied the Heavenly Wolf Pass, but he has been holding back, it is enough to explain one or two. ”

"Therefore, the minister boldly guessed that he would not agree to the strategy of dividing up Wei and Xia with our Qianguo. On the contrary, he will oppose our country's sending troops. ”

Shangguan Wan nodded and said, "The Prime Minister continued. ”

Wei Yu said: "Of course, it is an excellent idea to carve up the Wei State and the Xia Kingdom, but when the time comes, only the Wu State and the Qian State will be left in the world, and the situation will be much simpler." But in the same way, this will also put Wu and Qian on the opposite side in advance, which is not a good thing for Leng Changfeng, who is accustomed to taking things step by step. ”

After pondering for a moment, Shangguan Wan said: "Then if Wu Guo does not agree, how should my Qian State deal with itself?" You can't just sit back and see a great opportunity in front of you and not cherish it, right? ”

"Of course not!" Wei Yu waved his hand and said: "This war between the two countries is a great opportunity to expand the territory and power of our Guizhou State, naturally we cannot let it go, Wu State does not agree to join forces with our country, but I don't want the situation to be simplified." But what if we only choose one of the two countries? ”

Shangguan Wan said with an epiphany on her face: "You mean...... Wei? ”

Wei Yu nodded and said: "Only destroy the Wei State, then there will be three kingdoms in the world, in this way, it will make Leng Changfeng feel that the situation in the world is still controllable, and he Wu State does not need to put himself on the table with my Qian State early." ”

Shangguan Wan thought for a moment and then shook his head and said, "But if everything goes according to Leng Changfeng's thoughts, then how should my Qianguo deal with itself?" ”

Wei Yu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the reason why I say this is because the national strength of my Qian State is already stronger than that of Wu State. Another key is the struggle for the Xia State after the fall of the Wei State. Leng Changfeng had taken the Heavenly Wolf Pass with a previous layout, and he thought that he had firmly grasped the situation in the Xia Kingdom, but Your Majesty, don't forget, we are in the Xia Kingdom, but there is still a nail buried enough to shake the foundation of the Xia Kingdom. ”

"Heavenly Wolf Pass is important, but if he wants to seize the Xia Kingdom, he will also send troops, but we are different, as long as the timing is right, we can take the Xia Kingdom without blood."

"When the time comes, if we occupy the Xia State, and then have half of the territory of the Wei State, the world will already have two-thirds, and in such a situation, in the long run, the Wu State will not be able to attack itself."

"At that time, Your Majesty will be the empress who rules the world, and she will surely be famous in history."

Shangguan Wan's eyes shone with a strange light, and she took a deep breath and said: "Now that the situation in the world is changing rapidly, I have almost forgotten that in the Xia Kingdom, we still have that person." ”

Wei Yu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, so right now, on the one hand, we have to deal with the Wei State, and on the other hand, we have to secretly help the Xia State, although it is best to destroy Li Luo, but even if we can't destroy it, at least we can't let the Xia Kingdom lose too badly." Otherwise, the person who took us many years to break into the Xia Kingdom would not be able to play any role. ”

Nodding emphatically, Shangguan Wan looked at Wei Yu very seriously and said:

"Prime Minister, this matter is very important, so I will leave it to you."

Wei Yu arched his hand: "Your Majesty, rest assured, minister, you will not disgrace your mission." Also, when the army was sent to Wei, the minister hoped that His Majesty could use a person as the commander. ”

"Who?" Shangguan Wan asked.

"Ye Zhichu!"

Some people died, but not completely......
