The people in Jiang Pengji's tent also thought about what Feng Jue was worried about.
"Choose the lesser of two evils, and choose the greater of two benefits. Prefecture Magistrate Huang isn't an ordinary person. If we give up Cangzhou, he only needs to cultivate in peace for a few years and he'll be able to soar into the sky with a single leap. He'll develop into a thorn in the side of my lord. " Feng Zhen smiled and squinted his eyes. His eyes shone brightly, as if he was calculating something. "In comparison, Chenzhou is a rich and populous place, but because of the Imperial Family, its vitality has been greatly damaged. It won't be able to do much in the short term."
In this chaotic world, developing well didn't mean that one would be able to walk to the end.
If his fists weren't strong enough, even if he managed his territory well, he would only end up benefiting his opponents.
After some deliberation, they insisted that Cangzhou was more valuable than Chenzhou. It would be best if they could get the two counties from Huang Song.
Li Yun looked at the Great Universal Geographical Map and felt worried.
"If that's the case … won't we be surrounded by enemies on all sides?"
The Yi family of Beiyuan, the Nie family of Zhongzhao, and Huang Song and Xu Bei of Dongqing. The first two were powerful, while the last two had a natural geographical advantage. If the four sides joined forces and attacked from all sides, the battle line would be stretched too far, and the lord would fall into a very passive and dangerous situation.
Feng Zhen frowned slightly and said helplessly, "Hanmei, I had no choice but to make this choice. If the Lord takes Chenzhou, it will be too difficult to defend. If we don't do anything, Prefecture Magistrate Huang will be able to occupy Haozhou, Chenzhou, and Cangzhou Counties. When that happens, our lord will be in danger. "
Since all three paths were so steep, why not choose the most advantageous one?
So what if he was besieged on all sides?
They would always be able to find a way out of this predicament. If they didn't even have this little bit of confidence, how could they compete for supremacy?
Li Yun thought about it carefully, his handsome face showing signs of worry.
He wished he could topple the mountains and overturn the seas, cleansing the world for his lord!
Meng Heng thought about it carefully. He seemed to have thought of something, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Jiang Pengji noticed his expression and asked, "Shijiu, do you have any good ideas?"
Meng Heng stepped forward. "Heng thought of the School of Vertical and Horizontal."
"School of Vertical and Horizontal?"
Meng Heng nodded and said, "The School of Vertical and Horizontal is one of the Hundred Schools of Thought. The first Prime Minister of the Great Xia Dynasty, Huangfu Xiu, absorbed the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought. He used the techniques of the School of Vertical and Horizontal to make friends with distant countries and attack their neighbors. Finally, he assisted Emperor Taizu of the Xia Dynasty in unifying the Nine States. My lord exchanged Cangzhou and Cangzhou counties from Governor Huang. It seems like she will face the predicament of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, but if she uses a series of moves, she will definitely have a chance of survival.
When Da Xia was first established, there were hundreds of schools of thought that challenged and contended with each other. Different schools of thought competed with each other and the atmosphere of academic research was strong. This wave did not last for long. When Prime Minister Huangfu Xiu was executed, the imperial court ordered that Confucianism should be the only one to be respected and other academic schools should be suppressed.
Even now, the Hundred Schools of Thought had recovered, but the Confucian School was still the leader of the Hundred Schools of Thought, occupying the majority of the market. The other schools of thought kept a low profile.
Jiang Pengji was about to listen carefully when she caught a glimpse of the bullet screen in the streaming room.
Yue Zhi Shang Miya: "The School of Vertical and Horizontal. But this world doesn't seem to have the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Where did the Vertical and Horizontal come from?
Just Not Bad: "This world has the Analects of Confucius and Mencius. Why can't there be alliances? It was normal for them to have similar thoughts.
Xiaolongbao: "Befriend the distant and attack the nearby. Streamer, there's no Premier Zhou in this world, right? It's so funny to see her embarrassed. "
Laosiji Lianmeng: "The phrase 'befriend the distant and attack the nearby' comes from the Strategy of the Warring States — it's better for a king to befriend the distant and attack the nearby. If you have an inch, you'll be a king. If you have a ruler, you'll be a king. The core meaning is to contact distant countries and attack the nearby countries. I don't think it's embarrassing."
Lan Dieyi: "During the Warring States Period, Qin could fight against six people alone. The streamer only has four. What's there to be afraid of?"
Jiang Pengji's mood lightened up when she saw the bullet screen.
It was just one against four. She was not afraid.
She signaled Meng Heng with her eyes to continue. The latter hesitated for a moment and said, "The Yi family of Beiyuan is powerful, but they are not without worries. My lord, why don't you secretly express your goodwill to the royal family of Beiyuan or other aristocratic families? You can use this to restrain the Yi family so that they have no time to care about other things. "
Beiyuan was a strange country. The royal family was weak and the power of the country was in the hands of a few aristocratic families.
The Yi family also had enemies. It was not impossible to send an envoy to instigate and lobby them.
This method could also be used on the other clans.
Because of this, everyone had a secret meeting for a long time. The frown on their faces finally eased up.
Although it was a dangerous move, if it was executed well, they could be reborn in the end.
Wei Ci looked at Jiang Pengji's side profile. His eyes were like rippling spring water, shining with an intoxicating gentleness.
He was very glad that God had given him a second chance. He could make up for the regrets of his previous life and watch this person ascend to the throne with his own eyes.
As he was thinking, his fingertips touched something hot and wet.
He looked down and saw that it was the black and white ball of meat using its nose to support his hand. It looked at him with its innocent black eyes.
The black and white ball of meat used its mouth to suck his finger, trying to suck something out. It did not move for a while. It was sad like a salted fish that had lost its dream.
Wei Ci laughed to himself.
In order not to disturb the others, he secretly covered it with his sleeves and carried it on his knees. He took out the dried meat that had been softened in advance from his sleeves.
Fortunately, the meeting ended quickly. Wei Ci carried the ball of meat out as if nothing had happened. He looked around and found the soldier who was taking care of the ball of meat.
The soldier did not dare to go near the main tent. He could only anxiously stay where he was and wipe his sweat.
He had only taken a short nap. He did not expect that the beloved pet that the military counselor had asked him to take care of would disappear without a trace.
Wei Ci comforted him with a smile. "Take good care of it. Don't let it run around in the camp. Otherwise, it will be easily stolen by others for a sumptuous meal."
The soldier nodded repeatedly. Just as he was about to carry the ball of meat away, he awkwardly realized that the ball of meat had used all four of its paws and was holding onto Wei Ci's sleeves tightly. It kept making sounds of grievance, as if it was complaining about a scumbag who had abandoned his wife and daughter. Wei Ci raised his hand and patted its head. He said gently, "Don't be angry."
The soldier secretly peeked at Wei Ci. Seeing his gentle expression, he could not help but be secretly speechless.
The teacher was indeed an immortal who had descended to the world. No matter what he did, he looked so good.
"Those who know the inside story know that you are raising a pet. Those who don't know would think that you are raising a child."
Feng Zhen followed him and found that Wei Ci's "loving father" attitude was pure and natural. He was even more skilled than an experienced driver.
"If Zixiao had a child, wouldn't he be pampered to the heavens by you?"
Feng Zhen joked with a smile. Wei Ci's expression dimmed a little.
He said coldly, "Excessive pampering is the same as overpraising him to death."
"Zixiao is quite understanding. He really does not look like someone who does not have a family."
Wei Ci's eyes narrowed, as if asking —
Is this the reason for you to trick Feng Yi?
Feng Zhen stiffly changed the topic. "Cough — let's not talk about this. Does Zixiao also agree with my lord's use of the Art of Interconnection?"
"I agree, but the candidates have not been decided." Wei Ci said, "Huang Song and Xu Bei are easy to deal with. We know their backgrounds. However, the Yi family of Beiyuan and the Nie family of Zhongzhao are not so easy to deal with."
