"Hahaha..."
After Gu Yong left, Liu Zhang couldn't help laughing anymore.
I laughed so hard that I was out of breath and even bent over!
This feeling of playing with celebrities is really enjoyable!
Pang Tong and other Qin civil and military officials, whether they understood or not, also laughed.
Dian Wei, in particular, grinned the loudest.
But he obviously didn't know what he was laughing at, and the word doubt was etched on his face.
It was only Lu Xun whose laughter was a little bitter.
It's not that I can't bear it, just a little more sighing.
Gu Yong didn't notice at all, he was blinded by desire.
The road to heaven that he thought he had, in Lu Xun's view, was just a dead end into the abyss.
"Bo Yan, my wife and children have been sent here. Now we don't have anything to worry about, right?"
"Thank you very much, King Qin. I will do my best to serve King Qin!"
Lu Xun expressed his loyalty very happily.
No matter where his wife and children are, his mind has been made up since he learned the news about Guo Jia's tragic defeat in Guanzhong.
Because at that moment, the pattern of the world had been completely determined.
It seems that there are three forces of Qin, Wei and Wu, but in fact only Qin and others are left.
Especially after taking Jingzhou, Qin's strength surged significantly.
Wei and Wu could not catch up if they stayed where they were, let alone the one that was declining and the other rising.
Qin's hegemony can no longer be stopped.
At least that's what Lu Xun felt.
"Bo Yan, if you were alone, how would you choose between Wei and Wu?"
Lu Xun frowned slightly and did not answer immediately.
He knew that this was a test given to him by Liu Zhang.
And it tests all aspects, not just a matter of loyalty.
No matter how you answer, you need to have an irrefutable reason.
After a moment, Lu Xun raised his hands and looked at Liu Zhang.
"King Qin, since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the balance of power among the three parties."
"Therefore, for the weak side, it is bound to fight against the strong with the weak. This is also an eternal truth."
"Today, our Qin State is on the strong side, while Wei and Wu are on the weak side. So any strategies and decisions must be considered on this basis."
Liu Zhang nodded in agreement, with approval in his eyes.
He was very satisfied with Lu Xun's words.
At least it is considered from the standpoint of Qin.
"Bo Yan, go on."
"As you command!"
"As the strong side, what Qin has to do is to destroy the alliance of the weak as soon as possible and prevent them from uniting to fight. This is one aspect."
"On the other hand, we must use thunderous means to eliminate the weakest party in order to achieve a situation where the two will compete for hegemony."
"Once they enter into a situation where the two are competing for hegemony, King Qin can be condescending and use absolute power to establish victory in one fell swoop!"
"Who is the weakest party? I don't need to say more, right?"
This time, not only Liu Zhang, but also Pang Tong and others were full of approval and kept nodding.
It can be said that Lu Xun's words touched the hearts of many people.
It is true that the Wei army was defeated in Guanzhong, but the foundation of the Central Plains and Hebei is still there.
The aristocratic families in the two places are very repulsive to Liu Zhang's attitude towards the aristocratic families, so they will definitely support Cao Cao.
It is not easy to destroy Cao Wei in this situation.
It's not something that can be decided by just one or two wins.
Especially when teaming up with a rebellious guy like Sun Quan, he must always be on guard against the possibility of being attacked by a sneak attack.
Therefore, Gu Yong's proposal of Qin and Wu uniting to destroy Wei is simply undesirable.
From the moment Gu Yong proposed it, Lu Xun took a negative attitude.
"Bo Yan, since you advocated destroying Wu, why didn't you refute it when Gu Yong was here just now?"
"Is it difficult to speak to old friends?"
Lu Xun shook his head slightly.
"The King of Qin has long-term plans and great plans. How can a humble minister dare to speak carelessly?"
"Without Gu Yong, it would have been very difficult to capture Jiangdong. Now with Gu Yong..."
"Haha, Jiangdong was almost given away by Sun Quan..."
A hint of admiration flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes.
This is the top wise man who can discover problems from clues and gain insight into the essence!
"Bo Yan, I really didn't misjudge you!"
After admiring, Liu Zhang looked at everyone.
"Sun Quan should not be underestimated, especially if he is on the defensive side. Even if he leads the army alone, he cannot say that he can easily capture Jiangdong."
"The Art of War says that war is the best! Especially in Yuzhang County, the geographical location is extremely dangerous and the rivers in the county are complicated!"
"If we attack by force, Yuzhang alone will be enough to stop Gu's Eastern Expedition army!"
Speaking of this, everyone showed a look of understanding.
It turns out that the purpose of the discussion was to win Yuzhang in vain and completely open the door to Jiangdong!
"King Qin, does this mean that we will attack regardless of whether Sun Quan sends Yu Zhang to us?"
Liu Zhang admitted it unabashedly.
"Yes, Sun Quan must be destroyed. No matter what repentance he makes!"
"Of course, in order to fight Cao Cao in the future, it is necessary to minimize casualties."
Everyone prayed for help.
"The King of Qin is wise!"
"Hehehe..."
With a proud smile, Liu Zhang looked at Lu Xun again.
"Bo Yan, there are many wise men in Jiangdong. Just because you can see through it doesn't mean that others can't."
"It's not that simple to count the profits."
Lu Xun understood what Liu Zhang meant and asked him to help improve it.
"The King of Qin is wise, but not everyone can see through it."
"Didn't Gu Yong not see through it?"
"Haha, Gu Yonggu understands and is good at government affairs. He is not good at these intrigues."
"If you want the plan to succeed, you still need Boyan's help."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Lu Xun could only nod and agree.
"King Qin, it is true that there are many talented people in Jiangdong, but the only real wise man is Zhou Yu."
"As long as Zhou Yu is busy between Jianghuai and unable to go to Jiangdong, Sun Quan will hardly refuse because of his greed for small profits."
"Of course, Wei Chen will do his best to help King Qin to facilitate this matter!"
The smile on Liu Zhang's lips became even thicker.
"With these words from Boyan, Gu will feel relieved!"
"But, how should Zhou Yu restrict it?"
"To tell you the truth, after thinking about it for a long time, I still can't find a solution..."
Lu Xun's eyes sparkled and he became extremely confident.
"The King of Qin is so wise, how could he not think of it?"
"Just do the same thing again..."
"Repeat the same old tricks? What do you mean?"
It's not that Liu Zhang was modest, he really didn't understand.
"Haha, King Qin is so humble that even the ministers are ashamed."
"Bo Yan, Gu... I really didn't understand."
Lu Xun pointed outside the door.
"Prince Qin, didn't he already come to your door?"
