Wang Qi'an looked wary.
This man was dressed in a green robe. He was in his thirties or forties, with a broad forehead, a straight nose and beautiful eyebrows.
The eyes hide the spirit, which shows that the skill is not weak. He looks upright, not like a bad guy.
The visitor smiled respectfully and said, "Sun Simou has met the Prince of the General's Mansion!"
Wang Qi'an was shocked, this person actually revealed his identity.
Sima Jing almost shouted in surprise.
"Who are you?"
Wang Qi'an did not admit it directly. He gathered his strength and stared at Sun Simou coldly, ready to attack at any time.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, Sun is a good friend of Ji Wurui. We just met him by chance and there is no malicious intent." Sun Simou spread his hands and said without warning.
"We have never met, how can you be sure it's me?"
Although the other party brought up Ji Wurui's name, Wang Qi'an didn't mean to take it lightly.
"I once aspired to serve the Northern Zhou Dynasty. I spent some time in Bianzhou Mansion and saw General Wang and his son traveling."
Seeing that Wang Qi'an still had lingering doubts, he couldn't help but take out a letter from his pocket.
"This is the letter from Wu Rui that I just received yesterday, indicating that he has set out to come here. The letter also talks about the young master."
Wang Qi'an took the letter and found that it was Ji Wurui's handwriting.
"According to the itinerary, if there are no accidents, we will arrive in Pingxiang tomorrow if we are quick, and if we are late, we will arrive in Pingxiang the day after tomorrow." Sun Simou continued.
Wang Qi'an thought that this way the two of them would be able to see each other again. I wonder if Xuan Yi and others will be okay after he leaves?
At this moment, his doubts were relieved. After asking Sun Simou to sit down, he asked: "Brother Sun just said that he wanted to serve the Northern Zhou Dynasty, why are you here again?"
Sun Simou snorted coldly:
"If Yang Han hadn't committed regicide and betrayed his master, the situation in today's world would have been decided!"
"Xiao Congming has a great strategy, and the five tiger generals under his command are brave and resourceful. Once the sixteen states of Youji are recovered, the north will have no worries. What a pity! What a pity! A wise king was killed by a traitor!"
"The opportunity for unification has been lost. I returned to Pingxiang only when my interest waned."
Sun Simou sighed as he spoke, feeling extremely sad.
"Brother Sun also thinks that the Holy One was harmed by others?" Wang Qian asked.
"Although I don't know the details of the palace, not long after the mysterious death of the Northern Zhou King, Yang Han rebelled and usurped the throne. Although the methods of conspiracy have been different since ancient times, the principle of who benefits and who contributes remains unchanged. Therefore, Yang Han must be the mastermind behind the scenes."
Although Sun Simou didn't see it with his own eyes, he was very sure.
“The Imperial Medical Pavilion’s subsequent diagnosis concluded that the old disease recurred and he died without treatment, but this conclusion is not convincing.”
"Although it is true that there was an arrow disease caused by the battle that year, the Holy Master is a martial artist, has a strong body, and is in the prime of life. We have asked other famous doctors in the capital, and they all said that there must be signs of recurrence of old diseases, but according to what my father said , there was nothing unusual the day before His Majesty’s death.”
Naturally, Wang Qi'an and his son also thought this matter was suspicious, so they asked someone to argue.
"The key to this matter lies in the imperial physician who made the judgment. If my prediction is correct, these people will probably have been silenced by Yang Han." Sun Simou said.
Although Xiao Congming and Wang Chongyuan were monarchs and ministers, they were also close friends in private. He treated Wang Qi'an as close as his nephew.
"No matter what, I will never let this person go."
Wang Qian also suspected what Yang Han had done, but now he is even more convinced. His eyes were sharp and he said firmly.
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes, and the two took the opportunity to stop discussing.
"Brother Sun is so ambitious, doesn't he want to try his luck in other countries besides Dazhou?"
Wang Qian changed the topic and asked curiously.
Sun Simou smiled and said:
"Since the young master is interested, Si Mou will share his humble opinion on the general trend of the world."
"Chu is constantly fighting within the country and has exhausted its national strength. The country of Fujian is small and weak, so it is willing to become a vassal. These two countries can be ignored for the time being."
"Although Southern Han and Western Shu are powerful, they are both in a corner. They are more than strong in defense and not aggressive enough. Moreover, there are tiger and wolf divisions on the border that need to be dealt with."
He paused slightly and continued:
"The territory of Wu State is second only to that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and its soldiers are strong, and it has the ability to unify the Central Plains. However, the leader Yang Rui has just succeeded to the throne. He is young, energetic, and willful. He has great ambitions, but no talent and virtue. And the powerful ministers are in great trouble. If it is controlled, the palace may be unstable in the future."
"What about the East Yue Kingdom?" Sima Jing listened to Sun Simou's words. She seemed to have a clear understanding of the situation in other countries, and she couldn't help but care about her own land.
Sun Simou glanced at Sima Jing and said with a smile: "The girl must be the second young lady of Sima Mansion in Hangzhou to be so concerned about the situation in your country."
Seeing that she couldn't hide it even though she was dressed as a man, Sima Jing had no choice but to nod.
Wang Qian'an thought that this person was quite extraordinary. Based on Ji Wurui's letter and Sima Jing's few words, he could deduce his identity.
“The country of East Vietnam is compassionate and caring for the people, governs the country wisely, and has the instinct to do something good. However, it only wants to stick to a corner and has no ambition to expand its territory.
"Besides, East Vietnam appears to be rich and well-armed, but the terrain is flat and there is no danger in the hinterland of the capital. Once the war breaks out, it will inevitably spread across the country, and there will be problems with supply."
Sun Simou had unique vision and extraordinary knowledge, which greatly changed Wang Qian's view of him.
"Listening to your words has opened Qi'an's horizons. I wonder what Brother Sun would say about the Red Army in Qianzhou?"
Wang Qian'an thought that Zhang Yuxian didn't know if he had finished dealing with the remaining things left by Meng Jindan.
"The leader of the Red Army, Zhang Yuxian, is said to have the appearance of an emperor. His actions attract many supporters. The Red Army did indeed win several beautiful battles."
"It's a pity that he made two fatal mistakes in succession."
Sun Simou's eyes flashed with wisdom, and his words changed from praise to disparagement.
"The first is to recruit Meng Jindan. This man is very ambitious and will definitely not be willing to condescend to Zhang Yuxian. The hidden danger of division has been planted within the Red Army."
"The second is to occupy Qianzhou as the capital and threaten the border of Wu State. How can he allow others to snore and sleep under the bed? Lord Wu will definitely not allow him to become powerful. I guess Yang Rui will take action soon."
Naturally, Sun Simou did not know that Meng Jindan had been killed by Wang Qi'an, but his judgment was as accurate as a divine insight, which shocked Wang Qi'an.
"Meng Jindan is dead!" he whispered.
Sun Simou looked shocked and looked at Wang Qian.
"In this way, the Red Army's internal problems can be solved, but external troubles still exist."
After listening to Wang Qi'an's words, Sun Simou said suddenly.
"Qianzhou is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is dangerous. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack for the Southern Han Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with Zhang Yuxian's choice of this place."
"But it would be unwise for him to provoke the state of Wu, which is especially powerful than the Southern Han Dynasty."
"The mountains to the north of Qianzhou are not as high and steep as Meiling, and there are waterways for navigation. If the Wu State wanted to capture this place, it would be much easier than the Southern Han Dynasty."
"The wolf is trapped in the south and the tiger is lured in the north. Because of small losses, big gains are made. That's why I say the Red Army will never succeed."
Sun Simou's analysis is penetrating and gets to the point.
Wang Qi'an also became worried for Zhang Yuxian.
"Brother Sun is such a talented person, if you have the opportunity in the future, would you be willing to help me?"
Wang Qian said suddenly.
Sun Simou was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Young Master Wang also has the ambition to compete in the world?"
