Emperor Que Shaohua

Emperor Tianyi allowed King Jing to leave Beijing, and then summoned King Ning to give an opportunity, and ordered Luo Pingyuan to go to Jinling and Yuhang in the near future to supervise the affairs of Qingzhang's land in the state capital, and investigate the case as appropriate.This is the mission on the surface, but in the dark it is necessary to investigate the movements of the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River, report back at any time, and assist King Jing to calm the situation when necessary.

Yi Ying's order sounds subtle and sincere, and they both understand that the more important task is to monitor than to assist.Luo Pingyuan held his breath, and received the order solemnly as usual. He could feel the emperor observing his expression, so he said lightly: "Please rest assured, father, if someone does something that is not good for the family and the country during this trip, no matter who it is , I will never let you go."

These words are exactly what Emperor Tianyi thinks he is most likely to hear from Luo Pingyuan. He still trusts King Ning's character of being a country. Maybe he turned to King Jing just like King Yun, after much deliberation, he couldn't find a more suitable candidate.

The matter is now settled, Luo Pingyuan only needs to be prepared and wait for the imperial court to issue a decree.When he walked out of the palace gate, he breathed a sigh of relief for the first time in many days. Once Yelu Shibao and Wanyan Chao were sent away, he could bring the antidote and go to the south of the Yangtze River with his brother.

Yelu Shibao was indeed packing his bags and preparing to leave. He only had a few details to confirm: whether the 50 shi grains, rice, and [-] bolts of silk that Yuzhou promised would be transported to the border within a month, and how would they be delivered by then?The first mutual market is scheduled to open in June, whether there are some additions to the categories of goods traded between the two countries, and so on.Even though Wan Yanchao made a request on behalf of Yi Jin recently to gain some benefits by being involved in the mutual market, he didn't care about it, as long as his own affairs were generally in order.

The tense atmosphere at the beginning of the peace talks has basically dissipated so far, showing a taste of shaking hands and talking happily.Yelu Shibao never expected that on the fifth day of March, on the eve before he gave his speech to Emperor Tianyi and was about to leave the next day, something happened suddenly.

Luo Linpian, the King of Yun who had been staying at home for half a month, was assassinated in his mansion, and all three assassins acted swiftly and viciously.

The incident happened suddenly. At that time, King Yun was reading a storybook by the lamp in his study, with only his shadow guard beside him.After a fierce fight, two of the three assassins died on the spot. The leader was very skilled in martial arts, and was injured and fled under the siege of the guards who heard the news.

Luo Linpian was only slightly wounded on the shoulder, but Xiao Huo, the shadow guard who blocked him with a palm and a knife, was seriously injured. It was Luo Pingyuan who got the news and brought the owner of Mengxian Valley and Tang Yu to run away. It was only after a night of treatment that he was pulled back from the gate of hell.

In people's minds, the fourth prince has long been the god of war guarding Yu Zhou's territory. This incident once again shook the Nine Cities. It was said that the sharp blades used for assassination had been poisoned. There were not only discussions in the city, but it could be said that the crowd was indignant.At dawn, Yelu Shibao was awakened by attendants rushing in, and the Honglu Temple post house where he lived was already surrounded by soldiers of Yu Zhou with their sharp knives out of their sheaths.Followed by Yu Chiyan, the deputy commander of Jingyu Guard, walked in, politely but coldly asked the third prince and his subordinates to cancel the trip, and stay in their respective rooms from now on and not go out, Jing Yuwei will thoroughly investigate the post house.

When Yelu Shibao found out the reason, his soul flew away: when the assassin attacked, he yelled in Beiliao dialect, and although he was wearing ordinary night clothes, the weapons he used were made in his own country, and he rushed to attack the eve before he left.As we all know, Beiliao suffered a disastrous defeat at the Guiyan Peak. It was the loss to King Yun, and the fourth prince, Yelu Shiji, lost his life. However, Beiliao's performance since the peace negotiation was far from being honest, and the rumors of framing King Jing have not subsided. , the suspicion of ordering the assassination cannot be dismissed anyway.The problem is that he really didn't do anything this time, who on earth counted on the right time to use himself as a scapegoat?

Everyone in Pinwu Hall was angry, but Yelu Shibao came to his senses and immediately ordered a group of warriors to obey Yu Zhou's request and not to conflict with Jing Yuwei: "We are in a place of suspicion, and we have become the targets of those who plan to harm us. Target, if there is another incident, it will be even more guilty. If any of you dare to do something and delay the delivery of grain and rice to the border on time, I will definitely not let you off lightly!"

He was a person who had seen a lot of battles, and his expression calmed down while speaking, he shouted back at his subordinates, and said to Yu Chiyan: "Since Yu Zhou really had a major incident, I will postpone my return to the country and let you investigate. But the peace treaty between the two countries It has already been reached, no matter how the situation ends, whether or not your five highnesses believe that I am innocent, the agreed terms must not be delayed, otherwise the consequences are definitely not what your country wants to see!" He understood in his heart that in this situation, it is useless to say more, only Let's take a gamble and see if King Ning is willing to clear himself of the suspicion.He knew that he had completely offended the princes of Yu and Zhou, and as long as one of them took advantage of the situation to make things difficult for him, he would be unlucky, and if he failed, he would be forced to become a proton.

Deputy Commander Yuchi saw that he was still panicked at the beginning, but he regained his composure after a while, without losing the demeanor of a great country's envoy, he felt a little respect in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The peace treaty is a matter of the imperial court's decision. We are only responsible for finding out the night attack. The real murderer of His Royal Highness King Yun. Since the third prince understands it, please stay here and wait for disposal, so that your subordinates can cooperate and avoid unnecessary trouble."

Everyone in Pinwu Hall looked at each other, Ji Wuya had become Yu Zhou's prisoner, Master Hangu lost to Li Pinglan, felt shameful, and left a few days ago.Ouyang thought about the situation, but felt that he lacked confidence. Even if he could protect the third prince and break out of the siege, he would not be able to leave the city. The food that was waiting in the middle school was even lost. With a wave of his hand behind him, Jing Yu's cavalry guards led the sergeants to rush in, half-arrested and half-drived everyone into different rooms, and began to check whether they were injured one by one.

Beiliao and his party were locked in the post office of Honglu Temple in fear and anger. As long as they took a step out of the door, soldiers would come forward with swords to ask questions.What they didn't know was that, less than half an hour later, at another post house not far away, Wanyan Chao and Yijin Jintiesi were also given the same hospitality by Shen Ling in the same way. The thorough investigations and body searches carried out were more stringent.

In the night that just passed, Luo Pingyuan hurried to Prince Yun's mansion, King Jing also ordered the carriage to be prepared, and arrived only a moment later than King Ning.When he approached the majestic mansion, Jing Yuwei hadn't arrived yet, and the guards in the mansion were patrolling around on duty, all with awe-inspiring expressions.Luo Linpian had already healed her shoulder injury, Xi Minghua and Tang Yu were busy competing with the king of hell in the dormitory, only Luo Pingyuan sat in the main hall with her.

"Brother Emperor," Yun Wang relaxed his stern expression when he saw Luo Yanhua, got up and said, "I heard that your body is still weak, didn't you say that you don't have to come here at night?"

"If something like this happens, I won't be able to sleep even if I stay in the mansion." King Jing felt relieved when he saw that he was moving and behaving freely, "I think it's better to come to visit and see Xiao Huo's situation."

"Xiao Huo..." Luo Linpian's gaze became gloomy, "I was just telling my fifth younger brother that no matter who is behind the assassination, whether it is Beiliao or Yijin, I will not wait until it is verified. Will let it go!"

"Yi Jin?" Jing Wang looked at the two younger brothers, seemingly thoughtful, "Didn't the person who reported the news say that it was like what a warrior from the Beiliao Dynasty did? Why did Lin Pian talk about Yi Jin?"

Luo Pingyuan had just inspected the corpse, and the two assassins who were killed on the spot were both ordinary-looking, apart from being able to distinguish the characteristics of foreigners, there was nothing special about them.He really suspected that there was something mysterious about the matter. Even though the doubt pointed directly at Yelu Shibao, it was too obvious to make people feel credible.A few sentences in Northern Liao language and two or three weapons are too simple to be used as evidence, and they are very convenient for planting.It should be noted that for those who are interested in the situation in Los Angeles, the Beiliao envoy is simply an easy-to-use object.Shicai hadn't had time to have a deep talk with Brother Four, but now he also looked at King Yun, waiting for him to continue.

"Xiao Huo told me before he fell into a coma." Luo Linpian said lightly, "He saw the faces of those two people under the veils, and recognized one of them in Yijin's capital a few years ago. It should be the Prince Regent's Mansion. The guards in the house." Then he added, "As long as Xiao Huo has seen it once, no matter how long it has been, he will recognize it, and he will not remember it wrong."

Luo Pingyuan couldn't help but exchanged glances with the emperor's brother. He had heard of this ability to recognize appearances with a photographic memory. The rumors were extremely rare. Unexpectedly, Xiao Huo was so young but had extraordinary abilities, and he couldn't care less about thinking about Yun Why did the king's personal bodyguard go to the Prince Regent's mansion, and said thoughtfully: "However, taking the risk to assassinate the Fourth Emperor Brother will do Wanyan Chao any good? Could it be that Yijin wants to break the covenant?"

"I have watched Wanyan Chao's words and deeds for several months, but he is a villain who will repay his grievances and is greedy. With Yi Jin's usual style, planning an assassination may not have much foresight, maybe it is just for the immediate benefit." Luo Yanhua thought for a moment before finally Said, "I also speculate that before Wan Yanchao came to Luocheng, he must have made more than one-handed preparations. He provoked the three kingdoms to compete but failed to reach a deal with Yelu Shibao. Turn to other people to cooperate. The third prince can't do it, so what about the second prince who is far away in Zhaolin? Yelu Shizi, who is eager to get rid of his younger brother, so that he can become the successor of the Northern Liao Dynasty, is greedy for benefits and wants to take revenge on Yelu Shibao's Wanyan Shizi. It hit it off immediately. If the assassin sent by Wanyanchao succeeds by chance, Yelu Shicai will simultaneously eliminate Yuzhou's King Yun and his biggest competitor. Come on, isn't this business a guaranteed profit?"

Both King Yun and King Ning were speechless, Luo Pingyuan thought that this would kill two birds with one stone, and Yelu Shicai would get the most benefit.This person doesn't even care about the possible famine in the country because of this, and he is determined to eradicate his own brother. It seems that he is not much more cruel than Luo Wenxiao; It's normal.He immediately stood up: "Don't wait, I'll go to investigate right away, and ask Commander Li to send some people, and the northern Liaoyi gold will be wiped out!"

"That's right, it's just a matter of keeping Nayelu Shibao under house arrest for a few more days." Luo Linpian said coldly, "Let him also taste what it's like to be framed and be wronged."

It was night, when the urgent report was sent to the palace, Emperor Tianyi was first shocked and then furious, and regardless of the time limit for confinement, he immediately summoned the four princes to the palace to inquire about the details, and ordered the imperial doctor to make a diagnosis and treatment, and put aside the turmoil of last month; An order was issued to King Ning to order Jing Yuwei to arrest the murderer as soon as possible and find out the whole story.After spending the night in a hurry, there was the fright of the Liao and Jin envoys in the early morning.

Since Xiao Huo recognized the identity of the assassin, the case progressed quite quickly.One moment Wanyan Chao was secretly complacent about Yelu Shibao being besieged, but the next moment disaster has fallen from heaven.He felt that what he did was very secretive. It must be known that De Longan, the most skilled martial artist, kept a black scarf mask from the beginning to the end, and the other two warriors had never appeared in front of people since they came to Los Angeles. He did not expect King Ning to suspect it so soon. On himself, he was caught off guard for a while.

He was not stupid enough to let Delongan go back to the post house, he had already chosen the hiding place in advance.But Jing Yuwei's approach was as fast as lightning, and he was isolated from his subordinates without saying a word, searched and interrogated one by one, and no one was spared.

Wanyan Chao felt that he had never left any traces. The problem was that he still had a letter written by the second prince of Beiliao hidden in his bosom, which not only reiterated in Beiliao dialect the promises he had given to Yi Jin and Prince Wanyan himself year after year. Thank you generously, and reminded the details that must be paid attention to during the assassination in vague but still understandable words to ensure that Yelu Shibao will be detained in Los Angeles for questioning.

At the end of the letter, it was originally stated that it would be destroyed after reading, but because there were so many key information in it, after receiving it, Wan Yanchao thought that if Yelu Shicai turned his back on him in the future, he might be able to take it out to help the other party remember it well, so The messenger used a trick in front of him, and kept the original letter secretly hidden on his body, and was searched for it.

In this way, what Jing Yuwei had to do was much simpler.The house arrest was changed to detention, and De Longan, who obtained a confession and escaped the arrest, reported the conclusion to Emperor Tianyi.

Even though everyone below King Ning believed that there was no need to end the monitoring of the Beiliao posthouse too soon, it would be nice to make Yelu Shibao worry for a few more days, but Luo Pingyuan still ordered Jing Yu on the fourth day Guards withdrew.The mansion is already packing up and arranging personnel. He and his brother are about to leave for the south of the Yangtze River, so they don't have time to entangle with the Liao people.Moreover, as King Jing said: "Let Yelu Shibao go back and fight slowly with his elder brother. He has already lost his courage in this trip, and he is in awe of Yu and Zhou. If he ascends to the position of Lord of Liao in the future, it will not be a bad thing for us." .”

During the investigation process, Luo Pingyuan never met with Yelu Shibao as chancellor, now that the situation has come to light, he decided to go to the post in person, which can be regarded as seeing off guests in disguise.

When going out, Fan Yin followed him out of the house.He made good friends with Tang Yu and stayed in Prince Jing's Mansion after the martial arts competition. At this time, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, it would be too cheap for the Liao people to leave like this. I will go with you to help him." Let the third prince see him off."

Yelu Shibao has been worried and tortured for the past few days. Hearing that the assassination was the envoy of Yijin and had nothing to do with him, he was obviously relieved, and his eyes were filled with deep thought and anger. He cupped his hands and said something to Luo Pingyuan Scene talk.He thought that King Ning had found out the real culprit in a short period of time, and his words were quite sincere.

"Third prince, you don't need to be polite. When you first arrived, I said that your country and his party came from afar for peace talks, and Yu Zhou will do his best to be a landlord; Leaving this place lightly." Luo Pingyuan said lightly, "The third prince has made frequent moves in the past few months, but his intention to reach a peace treaty is indeed out of sincerity. The right depends on this point. I thank you on behalf of the court. I hope you will return to your country. After that, I will never forget all the things I experienced during this period.”

Fan Yin took a step forward: "His Royal Highness Fifth has a parting gift, please accept it with a smile."

Yelu Shibao saw that the smiling Mr. Ru Shan had an open letter in his hand, on the cover was written the script of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the handwriting was quite familiar.His heart trembled violently, and he reached out to take it.

Bystanders saw him take out the letter paper that was written profusely inside, and after looking at it for a second, his face turned ashen, and hastily folded the letter and put it in his sleeve. I have received it, and I will have the opportunity to make a plan to repay it in the future."

What King Ning handed over to him was the conspiracy letter written by Yelu Shicai to Wan Yanchao, and he couldn't help being furious. With the evidence in hand, when he returns to Zhaolin, he must teach the second brother to walk around. .

After returning to the mansion, Fan Yin entered the Lancang Residence with King Ning, saw King Jing was sitting and talking with Tang Yu, so he said with a smile: "The third prince seems to have a lot of bits and pieces, let's see what's good thing."

Right now, Yelu Shibao's attention was all on the letter, how could he know that Master Fan Shao's unique skill in his life is empty-handed, when he handed in the letter, he flicked his sleeve and took away all his belongings.

Several people in the room found it interesting, even Luo Yanhua couldn't help but smile, Fan Yin took out one by one from his sleeve: a purse full of pearls, a luxurious knife that was no longer than an inch long, a bottle of top-quality medicine with a pleasant fragrance Xueliandan suddenly said "Hey": "There is a letter, these princes and sons, why do they like to carry secret letters with them?"

Luo Pingyuan stood closest to him, took it casually, and noticed that the letter paper was a little yellow, obviously old, and a line of words came into view: the words are from Yelu Hongli Prince An Taijian, and the letter is like a private letter at the end of the letter. Chapter, the style is somewhat familiar.

Yelu Shibao brought this secret letter from Imperial Concubine Han to Liao Dynasty more than ten years ago from Zhaolinyuan Road. It was originally intended to blackmail Luo Wenxiao, but it ended up in the hands of King Jing.

On the tenth day of March in the 22nd year of Tianyi, Yelu Shibao, the envoy of the Northern Liao Dynasty, resigned and returned to Zhaolin with the documents of the peace treaty, and the situation of peace between the two countries began.

On March [-]th, the emperor decreed that Lin Chen, the only son of Marquis of Dingjian and general of dragon cavalry, had meritorious service to Jingbei, was talented and intelligent, and had a good character.Following the system of the Ministry of Rites, choose a date to get married.

On the twelfth of March, the emperor issued a decree that Luo Yuhua, Prince of Jing, had devoted himself to state affairs for many years and conspired to settle the north.

On the same day, an imperial edict was issued, saying: "Now that the war has subsided and the world is prosperous, I feel the suffering of the people's livelihood. I ordered the Ministry of Households to pay attention to the acres of land in the world, check and compile books, and distribute the land to the people."This move started from Jinling Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion, and Ning Wang Luo Pingyuan went to the two places to supervise and act on behalf of the emperor, hoping to set an example for the world.

That night, Wu Yong went to King Jing's mansion in person and handed over to King Ning a jade bottle, which contained seven white pills the size of soybeans.

King Yun's closed-door contemplation has ended ahead of schedule, and he also went to the mansion to say goodbye. Luo Yanhua asked Qin Shuang to come forward and present him with an account book and a number of various documents. If you need help, you can always find Xiaoshuang."

Qin Shuang felt a little resentful about being assigned to stay in the capital. You must know that even Director Yang was excitedly preparing to go to the south of the Yangtze River. They are used to coming and going, so it can be said that he is the most suitable candidate.Of course, Qin Su is also very suitable, but he didn't have the guts to ask his taciturn, stern and serious brother to give up the position of the bodyguard, so he had to pat his chin and admit it.

Luo Linpian flipped through the account book, the content in it was meaningless, it read like a heavenly book, so she knew it was written in code words.Looking at the other documents, he understood very well, and his face couldn't help but shudder.

"This is the prince's private account, and a large sum of money is in and out of it. After we got it, we spent a lot of trouble in deciphering the content," Jing Wang said with a smile, "Afterwards, it took a while to check and collect evidence Xiaoshuang knows all about the time. In fact, with Luo Wenxiao's current situation, it may not be necessary to use it, leaving it to the fourth brother just in case."

The account books managed by Liu Kedu for the prince were hidden on the warships of the Minzhou Navy. It has been nearly half a year since Langhuan and Jingyuwei jointly obtained them. Unaware.

"Until the end, he always has to struggle to the death. I don't think the prince is like someone who is willing to settle down and admit defeat." A cold light flashed in King Yun's eyes. After all, he has not been in Los Angeles for several years. The prince is gone. There are remnants of forces fighting desperately, King Jing is afraid that he will suffer losses.He nodded and said, "Forget it, if the second brother is safe, I will save some trouble and settle the accounts together when you come back. If you still have to play tricks, don't blame me for throwing one out every once in a while. What kind of private tax card, casting Private money, raising war horses, and a pile of bad debts with the Kunlun Mansion are all annoying to talk about."

"It's best if there are fewer troubles, and Linpian can live more comfortably." Wang Jing said, "But you still have to be careful about safety. The Xuanshuang dark guards in the capital are coordinated by Xiaoshuang. When the situation requires, I will add a few more for you." Celebrities follow suit."

The coldness in Luo Linpian's eyes gradually melted away, revealing a shimmering warmth, but she didn't say anything, she just nodded lightly in response: "Brother Dahuang, the situation in the south is complicated, and Brother Wuhuang is young. Go and cherish it more."

When he said this, he was worried. King Jing had not left the capital for many years. Even though Langhuan had been operating in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, he would face many difficulties when he got there.But these exhortations are useless even if they are spoken out. In half a year, the mountains are high and the waters are far away. All he can do is maintain the situation in the capital. Maybe for future justice, he has to coax the emperor sometimes.

Luo Pingyuan went to Prince An's Mansion after receiving the order.He hadn't stepped here for a long time, but he felt that the mansion where Shengge used to be everywhere seemed much deserted than before. I don't know if it was because of the prince's loss of power, or it was not suitable for feasting during the confinement period.Luo Junping was still wearing the bright red brocade clothes he often wore, and although he still had a half-smile that was a little bit upset, his expression was no longer as high-spirited as before.

"Brother Sanhuang, I'm here to say goodbye, and I still have a few words to say to you." King Ning entered the living room where there were many guests in the past, and after taking his seat, he said a few words about homework and got straight to the point.

Luo Junping has indeed been living a lonely life recently. Once Emperor Tianyi recognized the crime of the crown prince, he would immediately punish him as well. He stayed in the mansion every day and only heard the news of King Ning's success. The fate of losing power together, perhaps there are various liquidations waiting behind.

Therefore, when he saw Luo Pingyuan coming to the door, he was both wary and surprised. Although he said "rare visitor" teasingly, he didn't sound very energetic.

"Brother Three Emperors, I have always felt that you have your talents, but if you indulge yourself too much in everything, you will make mistakes from time to time." Luo Pingyuan said, "Brother Four Emperors is also a casual person, but he treats himself very well. He has always been restrained, he does something but does not do something, that's why other people will obey him. Brother Sanhuang, I know these words are not good, but I still want to persuade you, don't listen to the prince's arrangement, to the current situation , Continue to advance and retreat with him will only sink deeper. I really don't want to know what happened to you when I come back from Jiangnan."

Luo Junping's face was ugly when he heard it at first, but he couldn't help being surprised when he heard the last few sentences, and then he realized that King Ning came to advise him, and he said it very sincerely.While thinking about it, he sneered and said, "Brother Wuhuang has really made progress now, but within a year, he already knows how to teach the third brother how to behave. I am me, why have I ever advanced and retreated with the second brother?"

"Yeah, when I returned to Los Angeles at the beginning of last year, there were many things I didn't understand. I still had to rely on Brother Sanhuang to remind me from time to time. Wuyun Treading Snow was also a gift from you. After having it, it helped me a lot." Luo Ping Yuan didn't take it seriously, smiled lightly, and stood up. He knew Wang An's surly temper, and he was ready to leave when he said something, "I'll be leaving in a few days, Brother Sanhuang, take care of yourself."

Luo Junping watched him go out of the mansion, and he didn't know what it was like. He didn't expect that King Ning would come to visit. A few words were not enough for him to ridicule on weekdays, but now that the situation has changed, he can feel the weight of it.The intention to win over was originally with a purpose, but after all kinds of turmoil, Luo Pingyuan still remembered a sliver of his old love in his heart.

On March [-]th, Jing Wang Luo Yuhua and his party drove out of Chaofengmen, heading south all the way, saying goodbye to the ups and downs of the wind and clouds, which caused him to experience despair and pain, but also contained hope in the imperial capital Luocheng.

He opened the curtain of the car and watched the towering blue city wall disappearing in sight.When he left the mansion, the peonies in the front and rear gardens were in full bloom again, and the small pointed lotus appeared in the lake, and the wisteria planted by the emperor's brother Luo Pingyuan had also sprouted and was full of vitality.I still remember that in the late spring of last year, when I was playing the piano and planting flowers in the front garden, King Ning came back from the mountain, followed behind King An, and suddenly appeared in front of me.In a blink of an eye, the flowers faded and bloomed, and it was another season of spring.

"Brother Huang, I'm tired, do you want to stop and rest for a while before leaving?" Luo Pingyuan slowed down, walked to the side of the car, and asked with concern.

"No, I just want to take a few breaths and look at the scenery outside." Luo Yanhua smiled, the front and back of the car were full of people, Langhuan's subordinates, Jing Yuwei and household officials who followed Pingyuan.Unexpectedly, they set foot on the road together like this.

The wind and rain in Los Angeles are gradually fading in front of my eyes. There is smoke and water in the Six Dynasties ahead, and the grass is deep in the evening. What will it be like when I come back?He just knew clearly that he would definitely come back.

The third volume "Clouds Rise to the Sky" is over

Author's Word:

It is estimated that the babies who see this can feel that the following content cannot be finished in one volume, so there are about two volumes left, and the fourth part of Misty Rain and Jinling will be a volume that focuses on martial arts.

The plot of strategy means competition of wisdom and strategy. When I was writing the first three volumes, what I thought about the most was, how can I describe it as resourceful and talented?

The ancients said that subduing others without fighting is the highest state, but if this is true, wouldn't it be difficult to develop a plot of fierce conflict?A protagonist who cannot drive the plot is not a good protagonist. ...

Then, strategizing and winning thousands of miles, this is very attractive, but I always feel that in ancient times when communication was difficult and information was often asymmetric, it was very difficult to rely on exhaustive strategies to determine victory. It is not as good as man's calculation (even in modern times, it seems to be the same).Therefore, although the protagonist must have the corresponding ability, the development of the complex must not depend entirely on it.

Therefore, after much deliberation, it is perhaps the ability to respond to emergencies that best embodies wisdom.When something happens, most people are caught off guard. Whether they can assess the situation immediately, seize the limited opportunities left, and use their ingenuity and mobilized elements to save the day, or even turn defeat into victory, is the time to test their abilities~~
