Zhou Jin and others had been looking at Su Shi, waiting for his explanation, when Su Shi suddenly said, "I'm hungry."
Everyone looked at him in surprise, because no one thought that he would say such words at this time.
Seeing the eldest brother's almost cannibalistic look, Su Shi hurriedly explained: "Because I almost eat at three o'clock every day, and it is already Shen time, so I am already very hungry."
Seeing that Su Zhou was about to have an attack, Qin Zhidao was busy trying to smooth things over and said with a smile, "I also feel a little hungry after listening to what Su Shi said."
Su Zhou had no choice but to order his servants to hold a banquet.
The food and wine were served quickly, but no one moved their chopsticks except Su Shi. Zhou Jin and the others had neither the thoughts nor the appetite until Su Shi explained the matter clearly.
Su Shi took a few bites and when no one moved his chopsticks, he couldn't help but said, "You guys should eat something to fill your stomach. The food won't taste good when it's cold."
Su Zhou said calmly: "We are not hungry, but if you continue to talk about him like this, your butt will be very painful."
Su Shi hurriedly put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Pei Xuan's death is an advantage for us, because accidents may occur when executing any plan. Just like tonight, we were supposed to have dinner at three o'clock at three o'clock, but His Majesty suddenly summoned me Entering the palace, that’s why the banquet is only open now.”
Zhou Jin and others' eyes lit up, as if they understood what he meant.
"If Pei Xuan is not dead yet, even if something unexpected happens to the established plan, he will definitely be able to adapt to the situation and make changes to the plan."
Su Zhou pondered: "The people who can be chosen by Pei Xun to implement the plan must be extraordinary. I believe they can also use their power to make changes and take advantage of the situation."
Su Shi shook his head and said, "That's different. I also believe that each of them can take advantage of the situation and make the most beneficial decision at the moment, but the two are completely different."
Before Su Zhou could ask again, Su Shi had already explained: "Because the two perspectives are different. Pei Xuan makes changes from the perspective of the development of the overall situation, while the others take advantage of the situation from the perspective of the development of the local situation. "
In order to explain it more clearly, Su Shi gave an example: "Just like marching and fighting, there are feint attacks, luring the enemy, ambushes, and violent attacks. A general commands from the perspective of the overall situation, so those who should be sacrificed must be sacrificed, and those who should be tolerated must be sacrificed. Those who should be charged must be patient, and those who should be charged must not retreat."
Su Zhou finally understood what he meant: "Pei Xuan's death means that no one will have an overall view of the overall situation to direct this war. The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. If everyone adapts to local conditions from the situation that is beneficial to themselves, this war will be worse." Will lose."
Zhou Jin and Qin Zhidao also completely understood what Su Shi meant, and their expressions gradually became a little relaxed.
But then Su Zhou asked again: "But with Pei Xuan's ability, it is impossible for him not to know this. After his death, someone will definitely be arranged to take his place."
Su Shi said calmly: "It depends on whether this person has the ability to replace Pei Xuan and whether he can cope with the upcoming changes."
Finally, he concluded: "It is taboo to change generals on the spot, so I say Pei Xuan's death is our greatest advantage."
Regarding this conclusion, Zhou Jin and the others nodded unanimously, and then Zhou Jin asked: "What about the initiative? Why do you say that the initiative is also with us?"
They have no idea what Pei Xuan's plan is, let alone who will execute it. He didn't know anything, so why did Su Shi say that the initiative was in their hands?
Su Shi said: "The current situation in the capital is very delicate. The eldest prince and the second prince are evenly matched, and almost all the forces have chosen their own masters and are in a fragile state of balance. Pei Xun saw this situation in the capital and added I believe that as long as a fire is ignited by the temptation of becoming the prince, the two parties will definitely fight, and it will be a full-scale attack, and by then the situation will be completely uncontrollable."
Zhou Jin, Qin Zhidao and Su Zhou were listening quietly.
"So Pei Xun will never be allowed to light the fire first, because he knows where the fire will be the strongest. Since Pei Xun cannot be allowed to light the fire first, then only we can preemptively light the fire."
Hearing this, Zhou Jin and others looked confused, not knowing what he was talking about.
Su Shi continued: "There are several benefits to lighting this fire first. The first is to create changes and disrupt Pei Xun's plan. In Pei Xun's plan, the aristocratic family and ministers are important pawns, because they are the only ones involved. The fight for the crown prince's position will lead to total chaos in Daqian."
"The eldest prince and the second prince are now reunited with the ministers of the family for profit, so we are attacking their properties in an all-round way just to make them and the princes separate. If we continue to benefit them and harm them, It is very possible to win them over, and even if we fail, we can still get them to stand aside and not participate in the fight for the crown prince."
"If these family ministers can be separated from the princes, the effect of Pei Xuan's plan will be greatly reduced."
"What about the second one?"
"The second is that if we take action to create changes, then they have to take action. As soon as they take action, the situation will be beyond their control, and it will disrupt their original plan. Of course, we will not reset it for them. opportunity for planning. Because as long as they take action, that’s when they reveal their flaws. As long as they reveal their flaws, it’s time for us to fight back.”
"Is there a third one?"
"The third is that if this fire is lit by us, then the fire is under our control. The reason why I choose to attack the industries under the names of the princes is that I said that the integration of government and business is extremely harmful to the great cadres. After success, we must re-formulate relevant national policies. Second, I am openly using business to defeat business. I just want to let this fire burn in the field of business and not spread to other fields, so that the chaos caused will be much smaller."
In the end, Su Shi concluded again: "So it doesn't matter what Pei Xuan's plan is. As long as we execute it according to our plan, it won't work even if his plan remains unchanged. This is why I say the initiative lies with us."
After he finished speaking, his eyes swept across the faces of Zhou Jin, Qin Zhidao and Su Zhou. However, their expressions looked so incredible, and their eyes revealed surprise.
They just looked at Su Shi blankly, and Zhou Jin's eyes made him feel the most comfortable, because there was a bit of admiration in the surprise. Qin Zhidao kept stroking his beard, with a bit of comfort in his eyes.
But his elder brother's gaze frightened Su Shi, because he kept staring at his head curiously, as if he wanted to find an ax to split it open and see what was inside.
