Sun Tzu's Art of War says: "When the enemy returns, don't contain them; if you surround the enemy, you must guard against it; when the enemy is poor, don't force them."
This sentence is easy to understand and not difficult to do, but He Nanwan's move is still a bit confusing if not explained.
How come what he asked someone to convey to Chai Sichou meant that "the enemy must be surrounded"?
Obviously Shi Xiaowen was very clear about the comparison of the combat power of the two sides. Even if he added some other advantageous factors that could be used, it was still far from being able to gain the upper hand. Therefore, this so-called besieging division must be more like A false proposition.
But for He Nan, he did not want to use the actual sea of people to achieve a situational "siege", but to make Chai Sichou feel "besieged" psychologically. The overwhelming troops approaching the city are certainly a kind of siege. But the embattled atmosphere is also the essence of Wai.
Although Chai Sichou was a hero, with a prominent family background, great ambition, strong martial arts, good intelligence, a wide range of talents, and good control of his subordinates, he was a first-class romantic figure from every angle.
He Nan didn't have such comprehensive talents as him. But there is only one thing that this crazy guy thinks is unmatched by anyone in the world, and that is his "smartness".
I don’t know whether it was his talent that allowed him to develop this hobby, or his habits that inspired his specialties. In short, He Nan is a guy who likes to make all kinds of irresponsible evaluations, and is different from those who give judgments from an objective standpoint. The person who gives a pertinent answer has a strong sense of subjectivity - and he not only stands in his own "subjective" perspective, he can even easily step on other people's "subjective" fields and shit and urinate as he pleases.
When dealing with things, this talent has little use, but when dealing with people - he can easily see through other people's defenses.
So he knew that Chai Sichou was essentially a person who was not as confident and firm as he appeared on the surface. No matter how much training he did and what achievements he made, his fear was still buried rather than eliminated. It is often said that a country is easy to change but its nature is hard to change. His firm belief in those legends and prophecies, and his fascination with the fake rumors all prove this point - only a large amount of evidence as support can make Chai Sichou feel at ease, and only when his heart is calm can he believe that he can restore his ancestral business.
He Nan knew that as long as he created a gap in front of Chai Sichou, he would definitely survive through this gap. This would also achieve He Nan's purpose - could the first conflict now be the ownership of the sword? No longer, but a life-and-death feud between Taiping Escort Agency and Wu Yi, so He Nan made killing Wu Yi's main force his top priority. As for that sword, I'll let you play with it for another ten days and a half. So what? Without these elite comrades, can you really become the destined person in the Dragon Court Prophecy with just that sword? joke.
He proposed to exchange the Kou Xiong for the Evil Sword in Hao Qiong Yuan just to allow Chai Sichou to divide his troops, and Chai Sichou...how should he show his strength?

"You said...what?" Liu Wei was the person in charge of guarding Yu Maosheng at another stronghold, so Jin Man had some ominous premonitions in his heart the moment he saw him, and he also took Zhao Xian's words to the truth. ——The subversive nature of this sentence and the subsequent chain reaction were no longer something Jin Man, the second-in-command, could make the decision, so he quickly called Liu Wei and went to meet Chai Sichou together.
Chai Sichou was originally in a dilemma because Zhong Luxue was arrogant and ruined a good situation. At this moment, he was gathering some members who were on duty that day to plan corresponding countermeasures. Jin Man suddenly barged in with his huge belly, obviously giving him a favor. A rescue for the nervous colleagues - of course, everyone's mood after hearing this was completely the opposite.
"Can you guarantee that everything you said is true?" Kou Ying asked on behalf of the master. If Chai Sichou said this in person, it would definitely leave a suspicious impression on people. The image of "a master who doubts his subordinates" is obviously not consistent with the image. Wu Yi's style, but Kou Ying doesn't have so many worries, even if her attitude is more intense, it is understandable.
"Yeah." Liu Weimin was slow in words and almost used his memory to the extreme. He even repeated Zhao Xian's declaration before the specific contents of the transaction - in fact, with his honest and honest nature No one would suspect that he was exaggerating, but everyone needed some time to digest what he just said, and repetition of questions was obviously the best way to cover up the embarrassment caused by this shock.
"This amount of information is a bit large..." Similar to the nature of Kou Ying's "replacing work", Hai Shikui was responsible for explaining the key to his companions who had not thought about it: "In my opinion, what he said It conveyed to us at least two factors that we must consider, and these two points will lead to many situations... With all due respect, it seems that our meeting today will not be dismissed for a while!"
"First, do they know that Yu Ruyi is not in our hands - and how did they know it?"
"Secondly, let me make a conclusion. The real sword is in our hands - which one is it?"
In fact, there are other details in this passage, but they seem less important in comparison. As a smart person with a lively thinking, Haishikui obviously caught the idea that He Nan tried to cover up a little but hoped that there would be no trace of it. What Yi can understand - to be honest, this saves Uncle He a lot of trouble.
After being silent for a long time, the skinny monk Fan was the first to speak, but he was full of frustration: "Forget it, I give up - obviously we have been trapped in this kind of situation from the beginning because of the lack of strong evidence. It’s a closed-loop trap filled with too many assumptions and unverifiable possibilities, so the more we think about it, the more burden we get.”
"Hey, hey, hey, it's not a good thing to say this now. Giving up like this will hurt morale!" Hai Shikui's first reaction was to save some room for Mahaka's investment, and try to keep everyone's mentality at bay. Take it easy.
But Mahakashi's objections also have their own reasons. Although he has the blood of most Central Plains people, after all, he spent his entire childhood in a foreign land. It is normal that cultural differences bring about differences in ideas - - He always believed that the treasures he intercepted were genuine, but Chai Sichou repeatedly refused to adopt his opinions, which would inevitably make him discouraged. Emotionally speaking, Mahaka also knew that now was not the time to sing a different tune, and he did not want to refute Chai Sichou's majesty, but his reason told him that he should use an extreme method to make everyone wake up. .
"At least none of us can beat the opponent's strategists in this kind of deduction, otherwise we wouldn't be in the current situation inexplicably after fighting a victory." Mahakashi stood up and said loudly : "We have been led by each other, just like plowing cattle, but the farmer is the one who harvests the fruits - you have also been discussing it for a long time, but no one can confirm the two swords in our hands. Is it right or wrong? And today we actually continue to be troubled by the same problem?"
"It's not like we haven't thrown each other into similar predicaments. Isn't that little girl whose whereabouts is unknown we have been taking advantage of? But now the other party has used this to retaliate!" Mahaka became more and more excited as he spoke. As his limbs crackled, he was so close to the truth at this moment. Unfortunately, such an excited performance could only reduce his credibility: "Maybe the other party can't be sure where Yu Ruyi is, but they are Dare to use a tough attitude to force us to act according to their ideas!"
Even He Nan may not have thought that his fancy operations could even make Wu Yi's general so out of control, but he didn't really care - the timing of the strategy was much more important than the strategy itself, and He Nan's The flying knives were not fast, nor did they hit the vital point, but each one was hard to avoid.

"Since you have already sent people out, it is too late for me to react in hindsight, but I still have to remind you, does it really matter if you are so confident?" Mr. Chen is a person who is used to analyzing problems from the perspective of pros and cons, so he is worried The other party's decision may not go as smoothly as He Nan expected: "As the saying goes, a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry. If you give Chai Sichou such strength, are you really afraid that this guy will suddenly bite the bullet and cut off his wrist? Or even go one step further and fight us to the death. ?”
A strong man cuts his wrist, that is, he gives up his sunk costs, which means giving up Kou Xiong, or even not going to the appointment at all, taking away the sword and Xiaoyu together, and maintaining a state of confrontation in the long run; it is better to understand that the fish will die and the net will break. The process is shortened to the shortest, and the loser loses nothing, and the winner may not get everything.
"It's true that a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, but no matter how anxious a dog is, it can't fly into the sky!" He Nan laughed twice: "As for people, the higher they stand, the worse they fall - Chai Sichou's image is like a mountain. When people find this When a mountain is not actually majestic and beautiful, it can lead to feelings of disappointment.”
"Wu Yi's purpose is to establish a world based on friendship. If Chai Sichou gives up a brother who has been with him for so many years for a dead creature born of ambition, will everyone in Wu Yi still follow him wholeheartedly? Who can guarantee that he is not Chai Sichou Manman The next victim on the journey? If nothing else, if he really wants to give up Kou Xiong completely and go back with everything he has, then Kou Ying will be the first to fall out with him and maybe come to join us." He Nan glanced at Mr. Chen with a strange and lewd look: "Aren't you very popular with older women? I've also heard about the shopkeeper Bian of Xianyang Inn! Then I'll leave the task of persuading her to surrender to you. .”
Mr. Chen ignored He Nan's teasing and rolled his eyes before saying, "You continue."
"As for dying together... If he had the guts and courage to make a desperate move at the beginning, the two of us can only review our failures in the underworld, and just put together a table of mahjong with Lao Wei Xiaoyu. But now they have missed it. If you miss the best opportunity and play with all the chips, you will not win as much as before, but lose more than before." He Nan also sarcastically said to himself: "But if they really can't think about it, we can just accept the move. This Is there any sure-win plan in the world? What I do doesn’t mean that we will definitely win. At most, it just increases the odds of winning to the point where we are close to the opponent.”
"Since you have said so, I can only do my best to support you. I hope you won't let me wipe your ass for you." Mr. Chen spread his hands: "Then how should we divide our troops? Really? I think it would be more conducive to Shopkeeper Mu’s evaluation of you if you went to save the beautiful girl yourself!"
He Nan smiled and sighed: "It won't happen to me and Xiaoyu that a hero saves a beauty. Even if it does happen, she is the hero..."
"It's not easy to maximize our chances of winning. How can I let others bear the price for me at this time?"
Whether it's a battle of wits or a battle of strength, when it comes to this critical moment, the fight is still ruthless.
