has been immersed in the harem for a lifetime, and Lu Pheasant has long known the dirty and shady tricks among the concubines.

Seeing that Bo Ji was about to give birth, and Liu Ji was far away on the front line, Lu Pheasant replaced her courtyard with a reliable maid both inside and outside her courtyard early, and every day every day she had to go in and out, and every meal and meal had to be strictly checked.

She secretly thought that she was not a loving saint, but she just didn't want to cause more trouble during the war.

Moreover, I really remember in the history books that this child of Bo Ji is the generation of British lords who ascended the throne after the extermination of the Lu family, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Liu Heng.

Even if this life no longer develops according to the original historical process, wouldn't it be good to make more friends and fewer enemies?

Walking to the gate of Bo Ji's small courtyard, a maid had already greeted her.

Lu Pheasant paused, and said sharply,

"I thought about it again.

If Madame asks about the war at the front, you will say that our army is invincible and invincible.

If anyone dares to talk too much, she will be shocked by the fetal gas, and the military law will serve. ”

The maids fell to the ground and prostrated their heads, not daring to speak.

Lu Pheasant changed his smile and stepped into Bo Ji's inner room.

***

The pot-bellied Bo Ji was leaning on the couch to recuperate, and when she saw Lu Pheasant coming, she struggled to get up, but she stepped forward quickly and held her down.

"You and I are both women, and I have given birth to two, knowing that you are about to give birth, it is the most difficult, so you don't have to do those false courtesies."

Bo Ji smiled gratefully, but still didn't dare to raise her eyes to face Lu Pheasant, so she silently adjusted her posture to make herself lie as upright as possible.

Lu Pheasant looked at Bo Ji carefully, and saw that her face was ruddy and her blood was sufficient, so she was relieved, so she waved her hand,

"You all go down, and I'll talk to Madame Bo."

The maids in the room quietly stepped back and helped them cover the door.

Lu Pheasant held Bo Ji's hand and asked softly,

"I ask you something, and you need to know everything, and you need to say everything."

Bo Ji was frightened and nodded again and again.

"Let me ask you, when you were at Wei Bao's place, did you ever hear of Peng Yue?"

As soon as these words came out, Bo Ji's face turned red with embarrassment, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry.

It turned out that Bo Ji was the concubine of Wei Bao, the king of Wei, and later Wei Bao was defeated by Han Xin, and Bo Ji was included in the harem for Liu Ji because of her beautiful appearance.

"In troubled times, a woman is like duckweed, who hasn't been married three or twice.

You don't have to feel sorry for yourself like that. ”

Lu Pheasant patiently relieved.

Bo Ji took a few deep breaths before saying slowly,

"The concubine is in the King of Wei, no, when Wei Bao was in the harem, Peng Yue was the Xiangguo of Wei, but I occasionally heard Wei Bao talk about him."

"Oh, what did Wei Bao say?"

"The concubine doesn't remember very clearly, as if he said that although he is a strong man, he is suspicious by nature and is not at ease."

"Suspicious?

I only thought he was a brave general, but I didn't expect to be given such an examination by Wei Bao, and I can be regarded as knowledgeable today. ”

Lu Pheasant smiled, diverted the topic, chatted with Bo Ji about her parents, and told her that if she felt unwell, no matter what time it was, she would immediately send someone to find her, and she would not be delayed.

Bo Ji was also very knowledgeable and stopped mentioning Peng Yue, as if this conversation had never happened.

***

On the way back, Lu Pheasant had been pondering Bo Ji's words.

She remembered her childhood in her previous life, where she had seen a fox crossing a river in the countryside of Bingzhou.

In winter, when the weather is cold and the river is frozen, the fox always carefully stretches out one paw first, steps on the ice, and then immediately retracts.

After several attempts like this, only after making sure that the ice was completely frozen and solid, these cunning and fluffy little creatures would rush to the opposite shore at a rapid speed.

Suspicious is like a fox, suspicious of everything, without perfect certainty, and will never act easily.

Thinking of this, Lu Pheasant returned to the room and wrote a letter to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji is a person who is good at perceiving human nature, and it is said in the history books that he knows people well and has the wisdom to know people.

Although he has been in contact with him for less than a month, Lu Pheasant agrees with these comments from the bottom of his heart.

The world praises Tang Taizong for humbly accepting advice, so that there is the rule of Zhenguan, but the previous generation of Lu Pheasant has been with him for more than ten years, seeing that the old Taizong is becoming more and more rigid and self-serving, willful and reckless, if you talk about the softness of the body, it is really not as good as Liu Ji in the current entrepreneurial period.

There is no need for a hammer to ring the drum, Lu Pheasant talked about the stable situation in the rear in the letter, talked about the physical condition of Bo Ji who was about to give birth, and then naturally added a sentence smoothly,

"Gong Bo Ji recounted the old things, heard that Peng Xiangguo was suspicious, and then moved-"

Before the word "move" was written, the maid in Bo Ji's courtyard hurriedly came to report,

Mrs. Bo said, there is another important sentence, which I forgot to say in a panic.

"What's the matter?"

She said that those who are suspicious will spare their lives and respect God.

The slave maid didn't understand, and wanted to ask the lady to explain in detail, but she only smiled and said, "Just report it to the queen word for word." ”

"Madame Bo is right, if you go back to her, just say that I understand what she means.

Also, you are in a good position, you are a person with a heart, go and receive the reward. ”

Lu Pheasant's mind was clear, and he felt more sure, so he added a few more words to the unfinished book,

Plan and then act, "also afraid of life, it is advisable to lure it with profit, and fear it with heaven."

***

When Lu Pheasant's letter was delivered to Yangxia City by fast horse, it was midnight, and Liu Ji's room was as bright as day, and he was anxious to discuss with Zhang Liang with the lantern.

Liu Ji has sent three groups of envoys in a row to urge Peng Yue and Han Xin to send troops, but each time the envoys brought back the same reply:

Peng Yue only said that Wei was unstable and urgently needed to guard it himself, so he didn't dare to leave easily, and Han Xin, the king of Qi, also thought of many reasons and prevaricated in every possible way.

"What to do? What to do?

These treacherous villains, none of them come to the meeting, do you want me to fight alone with Xiang Yu? ”

Liu Ji struck the low desk in anger, shaking his ears and cups, and the tea in the cup spilled all over the table.

Zhang Liang, who was sitting opposite him, was silent on the surface, but his mind was rapidly organizing language.

The Han army, which had been chasing all the way to victory, suffered a crushing defeat when attacking Guling, adding another stroke to Liu Ji's defeat against Xiang Yu.

Zhang Liang knew very well that this was a stroke that completely destroyed Liu Ji's confidence, a stroke that made Xiang Yu stick to Chen County and Guling without fear, and a stroke that prompted Peng Yue and Han Xin to watch the fire across the strait and stand still.

After all, it is not yet known who killed the deer, what if the Han army suffered another defeat at Pengcheng?

The risk is so great, there is no big enough interest to drive, there is no confidence guarantee of victory, who will rashly send troops to help.

The king of Han in front of him had long been mentally strong and capable, and before the reinforcements arrived, he categorically did not have the confidence to fight Xiang Yu head-on again;

However, if he had not had a winner, the reinforcements from the Peng and Han families would not come.

Zhang Liang rubbed his eyebrows, without further ado, he needed to find a breakthrough to break this terrible vicious circle.

He looked at the messy desktop and said unhurriedly,

"The king doesn't have to worry, now that our army has the advantage, it is only a matter of time before Xiang Yu is defeated.

It's just that for Peng and Han, they are concerned about the distribution of interests. ”

"Han Xin has already forced me to make him the king of Qi, and Peng Yue has always been tacitly in charge of the hometown of Wei?

What else do they want? ”

"The king himself said that Han Xin's title of King of Qi was obtained by him by blackmailing you;

And Peng Yue's jurisdiction over Wei is also unjustifiable, just because he has not yet been crowned king.

The minister asked the king to assign all the land from Suiyang to Gucheng to Peng Yue, grant him the throne of King Liang, and assign all the land east of Chen County to Han Xin, the king of Qi.

This is the policy of splitting the earth and sealing the king, and the king and the two of them share the wealth, and they will come immediately. ”

"The more the king seals, the more he will inevitably become a big trouble in the future......"

"There is a way to do it in the future.

If you don't make up your mind, I'm afraid that the king won't be able to pass the level in front of you. ”

There was silence in the room, and Liu Ji stroked his chin and didn't speak.

***

Taking advantage of this gap, the soldiers hurriedly sent Lu Pheasant's letter.

Liu Ji said impatiently, "Didn't you say it, the news from the rear is all put away, and there is no need to rush forward." ”

"The queen said that this letter is a military report, and there is no delay for a moment."

Liu Ji was puzzled, quickly browsed the bamboo slips, and silently handed them to Zhang Liang.

After Zhang Liang finished reading it, his heart was greatly shocked, and he just praised it quietly,

"Madame's thoughtfulness is admirable.

The so-called fear of heaven, in my opinion, the heavens, prophecy.

Those who prophesy, the trick is a hidden word, and the good and evil are predetermined.

Back then, the king and I both knew the truth of the fish belly Danshu in Daze Township, but we did see the miraculous effect of 'Da Chuxing, Chen Shengwang'.

Sometimes, the military heart and people's hearts change rapidly, and they are between subtleties. ”

Liu Ji's eyes flashed, noncommittal.

Zhang Liang finally said,

"I remember that the king is by Peng Yue's side, and there are also secret agents."
