------------------------------------

In Yanxing Palace.Zhou's courtiers are discussing a major event recently.

"The envoy of the State of Wu brought the letter of credence and asked the State of Zhou to join the Zhao Alliance. All ministers, let's talk about your views." Xiao Jingong threw out today's topic.

The courtiers were speechless for a while, and no one spoke first, so Xiao Jingong had no choice but to call names: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Chen Gu, who had been ignoring the government for a long time, didn't want to say anything more, and said calmly: "I listen to your Majesty."

Xiao Jingong was speechless, so he had to order another one: "Lang Zhongling, tell me."

Lang Zhongling came out and said: "I think it's not appropriate for Zhou to go. Now is the critical stage of Zhou's reform, the people are enjoying a bumper harvest, and domestic affairs are complicated. Although Wu invited the four countries to destroy Zhao together this time, in my opinion, , It’s just to use the power of the four countries to destroy Zhao. At that time, Zhao Guo will fall, and Zheng Chuzhou may not be able to share the city. According to Wu Guo’s current strength, I am afraid that all the benefits will be taken by Wu Guo. I don't think it is necessary to contribute to help Wu Guo conquer the country."

After listening to Xiao Jingong thoughtfully, he asked again: "Chang Shi, what do you think?"

Chang Shi came out and said: "I also think that it is not appropriate to go. What Zhou State needs most now is development. Before the battle of Lingzhou along the river, Lingzhou was to be surrendered to Wu State and Chu State. I heard that Wu State finally occupied most of it. In Lingzhou, the state of Chu only got one-fifth of it. However, the state of Zhou has to give up the city that has been defeated by sending troops. Since it is not a matter of taking advantage of it, then don’t go there.”

After Xiao Jingong listened, his face was worried, and he rubbed his forehead tiredly: "Master, what do you think?"

Lin Xiudao: "I think you should go."

"Oh?" Xiao Jingong suddenly changed his face, and asked with interest: "Why?"

"The state of Wu invited the other countries to divide Zhao. It said it was an invitation, but in fact the countries had to go. It said it was to divide Zhao, but in fact, the state of Wu didn't need help. It could destroy Zhao by itself. What it wanted to invite the countries was an attitude and a statement. Go Yes, it is to divide Zhao, not Wu Guo to destroy Zhao, which can cover up Wu Guo's ambitions. If you don't go, Zheng Guo and Chu Guo will also go, who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie. If Zhou Guo doesn't go, the next one will be divided It is Zhou Guo."

"Then persuade Zheng Chu not to go together." Chang Shi suggested.

Lin Xiu said with a smile: "Lord Changshi has a very good idea, but I'm afraid things will backfire. Not to mention that we can persuade Zheng Chu, even if we really don't go, it means that Zheng Chuzhou will form an alliance and oppose Wu. If Wu chooses not to destroy Zhao's national power, but to form an alliance with Zhao... Who do you think the target will turn to?"

"Zhou Guo." Chen Yun said briefly.

"That's right." Lin Xiu nodded, "Although the state of Zhao is now in decline, if you give him a chance to breathe and join forces with Wu to destroy Zhou, life will be difficult for Zhou at that time."

"Then according to the national teacher's intention, it is to divide Zhao. But if Zhao is divided, what if Wu Guo turns to destroy Zhou?" Chang Shi asked.

Lin Xiu said calmly: "It depends on how the war to divide Zhao is fought. It would be best for Zhou if we can weaken Wu's strength while dividing Zhao."

"What if you can't?"

"That's not to be afraid, Zhou Guo needs time. Even if Wu Guo turns back to attack Zhou Guo after Zhao is destroyed, Zhou Guo has a chance of winning. As long as Zhou Guo does not become the main force when Zhao is destroyed, he will not lose his strength."

Xiao Jingong nodded and said: "The national teacher is right. If you don't go...it's impossible. If you don't go, Zhou Guo will be isolated. Going is not necessarily a bad thing. If you can really share several cities in Zhao Guo, Why not do it?"

The ministers bowed their heads in thought and stopped debating.In fact, there is no perfect answer to this question.Because no one agrees with the ever-changing situation, we can only take one step at a time.Whether to go or not, there are risks, which can only be decided by His Majesty.Having seen Xiao Jingong's temper a few days ago, the courtiers are still afraid now. They no longer challenge Xiao Jingong like before, but keep silent as long as they can. His Majesty decides everything.

Xiao Jin respectfully said: "General Chen, you are still leading the army this time, and the national division will be the military advisor."

"promise."

Xiao Jingong continued: "By the way, let's take the female soldiers out to practice. The female soldiers have also been established for a while, and we have seen each other for a while. They can't be paid every day. The division of war between countries must be a sure-fire war. Take the female soldiers out as well. Let's sharpen it, and the army will be led by a female general. Both generals obey the orders of the national division."

"promise."

-------------------------------------

So the matter of dividing Zhao was settled.What made Lin Xiu feel gratified was that she could go out with Xiao Shu'an this time, so she didn't have to experience parting again.With a daughter-in-law by my side, going to the border to fight the war didn't seem so hard.

Xiao Shu'an had also received the imperial edict and returned to the residence to prepare for the expedition.

Lin Xiu returned to the mansion, walked happily to Xiao Shuan's side and said, "Daughter-in-law, we can go out together. Are you happy?"

Xiao Shuan sorted the luggage of the two of them and said, "Not happy."

Lin Xiu was taken aback and said, "Unhappy, why?"

Xiao Shu'an said unhappily: "Brother Huang disrupted my plan. Originally, I was going to dedicate myself to the son-in-law tonight. But since the battle is imminent and my husband has always been weak, I have no choice but to shelve the plan. In case my husband is too weak to make it on the road."

Lin Xiu couldn't help laughing: "Then I really want to thank you, my lord princess."

"No thanks. As long as you use your brains, help Zhou Guo grab a few more cities and bring them back."

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "What else is there to grab? Haven't we already snatched the most important city?"

"Shunshui?"

Lin Xiu leisurely walked to the map and pointed, "Look at Shun Shui's location, bordering Manrong, Zhao, Chu, and Zhou. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With this as a base, you can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. Whether to turn around and attack the barbarians, or to defend the Zhao State and Wu State, this is the place we must pass through. And we have already occupied this place, other places, it doesn’t matter if we don’t grab it.”

Xiao Shu'an said: "Shunshui is very important, it has always been a battleground for military strategists, but you really don't want to take any of Zhao's cities?"

Lin Xiu sat on the chair carelessly and said: "That depends on the price. If Zhao Guo surrenders, I am of course willing, but if the countries are beaten to death, it is just to occupy a few cities for a short time. I think No need."

Xiao Shu'an looked at the map seriously, thinking about Lin Xiu's words.Seeing this, Lin Xiu said further: "What do you think, after the division of Zhao, what will Wu do next?"

"Attack other countries." Xiao Shu'an without thinking.

"That's right. Wu Guo will definitely not stop now, and he must not stop. Because in another five or ten years, he may not have the strength and status he has today. In another five or ten years, countries will not know how to develop What it looks like, so he will definitely not stop, and will continue to annex other countries."

"What does that have to do with what we're talking about?"

Lin Xiudao: "This shows that the next few years will be a period of war. Zhao Guo is in the center of the four countries, and it is bound to become a battlefield. It is very likely that one will occupy today and the other will occupy it tomorrow. There may be two masters in one day. If you occupy a city, you can't really manage it, you can't create wealth, and you can't develop the population, it's just an infinite attack, meaningless."

Xiao Shu'an put his hands on his chest and nodded while rubbing his chin: "That's right. If the city of Zhao State is seized now, the State of Wu will be dissatisfied. Whoever occupies more will be the next target of attack. Instead of only occupying one position, It's better to restrain your strength and develop silently."

Lin Xiu snapped her fingers: "That's right, now we must preserve our strength and focus on development just like the previous Wu Kingdom. When the right time comes, we will hit the target with one blow."

Xiao Shu'an looked at the map and said: "According to your logic, after the division of Zhao, it may be Chu that will finally have a war with Wu. Previously, there was an unhappy fight between the Lingzhou and Chu. I heard that Chu was not convinced. This time Zhao and Chu should not be convinced and let Wu take the lead. If the two countries have conflicts, they might start a fight. Then Zhou, will you help Chu?"

Lin Xiu looked at the map and said to herself: "I want to help, but it depends on how long Chu can last. If he lasts long enough, then we can take advantage of the time difference to go to Manrong for a while." Lin Xiu Xiu pointed at Man Rong.

"Barbarian?"

"Yeah." Lin Xiu nodded, "How can you feel at ease when a wolf is staring at you from behind? If the barbarians are not destroyed, Zhou Guo will not be able to go east with peace of mind. If there is a suitable opportunity, we must first solve the worries behind. .In this way, Shun Shui can become a real dangerous pass for Zhou Guo. As long as Zhou Guo sticks to Shun Shui, no one can do anything to Zhou Guo.”

Xiao Shu'an carefully looked at the map for a long time before turning his head and sighing to Lin Xiu: "The national teacher has really planned it for a long time. It seems that Zhou Guo's great cause has already been deduced countless times in the national teacher's mind."

Lin Xiu said proudly: "Hey, it's okay, my national teacher also plays by ear. But I'm knowledgeable and talented, and I can come up with amazing good ideas anytime and anywhere. Sigh! I can't hide it."

"That's really hard to be a national teacher." Xiao Shuan pouted.

"Who said no!"

Seeing the narcissistic Lin Xiu, Xiao Shu'an couldn't help rubbing her face.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Do you think I'm your son?"

Xiao Shu'an smiled and said, "No, I just think you are too cute, so I couldn't hold back."

Lin Xiu rubbed her face in displeasure and said, "Is it a sin to be cute? Is there anyone like you? Those who don't know think you are a pervert."

Xiao Shu'an approached Lin Xiu with a smile, pulled him into his arms and said, "I'm a pervert, if you pout again, I'm afraid I have to sacrifice myself tonight."

Lin Xiu trembled in Xiao Shu'an's arms, and looked at Xiao Shu'an in disbelief: "Xiao Shu'an, have you been pierced by a soul?" After finishing speaking, she pinched her face vigorously and said, "Hurry up and put my princess In exchange, where did you get the lsp?"

"lsp" Xiao Shu'an was shocked, what kind of foul language is this... Lin Xiu took the opportunity to break free from Xiao Shu'an, ran to the bedroom, and shouted as she ran, "You will still be like this in the future, and I will still say that about you!"

"Heh." Xiao Shu'an laughed silently, Lin Xiu looked like this, she always felt itchy in her heart.She will be leaving in two days, if she can't help but want to be intimate with Lin Xiu on the way...

Alas!Xiao Shuan quickly shook his head, not daring to think about these things anymore.There is an old saying that is true: people, once you start eating meat, it is very difficult to stop it!
