"Just?" King Xuanyuan asked doubtfully, "What?"
"If I, Xuanyuan, send troops, Zhao Guo and Dashuo may take action after hearing about it."
"..."
This sentence immediately calmed down King Xuanyuan.
That's right!
Ling Jiang was worried that Xuanyuan would take the opportunity to seize their country after he sent troops, so he asked the envoys of Helian Kingdom to come and persuade him.
As for Xuanyuan State, it is not afraid of the small countries of Nanyang and Dongling, but Zhao State and Dashuo are also adjacent to Xuanyuan.
If these two countries take the opportunity to launch an attack, Xuanyuan Kingdom will lose more than it gains.
But King Xuanyuan didn't want to miss the opportunity to make friends with Helian in order to achieve the long-term plan of "making friends far away and attacking close friends".
"Ai Qing, is there any way to solve this dilemma?"
Duanmu Qingji thought for a while: "I think that diverting the troubled waters eastward can solve Xuanyuan's predicament."
Misfortune to the east?
That is to say, draw the attention of Zhao and Dashuo away from Xuanyuan and find ways to let the two countries attack others.
This plan is really good, but it is very difficult to implement.
King Xuanyuan kept looking at Duanmu Qingji with hope, and asked urgently: "How can we divert the disaster eastward?"
Duanmu Qingji looked at Xu Qingru: "What does Prime Minister Zuo think?"
The moment he heard Duanmu Qingji say the words "draining trouble to the east", Xu Qingru understood his intention.
"Zhao and Dashuo are not only adjacent to Xuanyuan, but also to Daliang. If the goals of the two countries can be transferred from Xuanyuan to Daliang, I, Helian, will no longer have to worry about anything."
"The left prime minister still understands me." Duanmu Qingji smiled bitterly: "But the problem is, how to divert the goals of Zhao Guo and Dashuo. I haven't thought of it for a while. Has the right prime minister ever thought of it?"
Xu Qingru shook his head: "No."
As he spoke, he looked at Rong Shi.
Rong Shi also shook his head: "You two can't think of it, so how can I think of it? However, since it is Envoy Helian who wants something from us, why not leave this problem to him. If he can completely solve it, then I, Helian, have agreed to assist Ling Jiang. If he can't come up with a solution..."
After saying this, Rong Shi stopped.
It seems that it is understandable that Chen can't think of the best solution.
No matter how smart he is, can he compare to Xu Qingru and Duanmu Qingji?
If his strategy is superior to that of the left prime minister and the right prime minister, then this person is also a threat to Xuanyuan.
Rong Shi's eyes darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed through him.
However, if you want to make friends with Helian, you can't touch Chen Zui.
This inextricably linked relationship is really difficult to sort out.
The four people discussed until late at night before dispersing. In the end, King Xuanyuan adopted Rong Shi's opinion and left the problem of "draining trouble to the east" to Chen Zui.
They didn't know yet that Chen Zui had already guessed this result after careful consideration.
Silent night, dawn in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Chen Zui finished his breakfast, someone came to summon him from the palace.
Chen Zui knew clearly that King Xuanyuan would agree to assist Ling Jiang, but in order to show that he valued lobbying Xuanyuan, he had to follow the proper procedures and sincerity.
Inside the imperial study.
At the same time, facing King Xuanyuan, the left and right ministers, and the general who ruled the country, Chen was the most calm and calm, neither humble nor overbearing.
Having met Queen Xuanyuan, Chen Zhi got straight to the point.
"Four months ago, the Nalan Kingdom launched a war in Helian for its own selfish purposes, resulting in the capture of Helianduo City. Now it is locked in a bitter battle in Jianning City."
"I was entrusted by the Emperor of Helian Kingdom to go to Lingjiang to plead with King Lingjiang to help Helian. King Lingjiang was worried that Xuanyuan Kingdom would take the opportunity to harm Ling Jiang, so he refused to agree."
"The purpose of my coming to Xuanyuan is very clear to your majesty. Only if Xuanyuan assists Ling Jiang in defeating Nalan can Ling Jiang's doubts be dispelled."
King Xuanyuan said seriously: "Why do you think I will agree? What benefit will assisting Ling Jiang bring to Xuanyuan?"
"Of course there are benefits." Chen Zui said emphatically: "After Xuanyuan sends out troops, he can make a show of sending more troops from Lingjiang Kingdom. In this way, Lingjiang Kingdom will also suffer losses, and General Xuanyuan Tiger will be able to attack Nalan." The deterrent effect will prompt Nalan to withdraw from Helian as soon as possible, and it will also weaken the strength of the Lingjiang Kingdom. The Xuanyuan Kingdom can also take this opportunity to train its troops and increase its combat experience. Wouldn't it be easier to seize Lingjiang in the future?"
These words not only deceived Ling Jiang, but also betrayed Xuanyuan Kingdom. At the same time, they solved Helian's crisis and shocked Nalan.
Where there is a double sculpture, it is obviously four sculptures with one stone.
Chen Zui vividly displayed the image of a political strategist who would do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even backstabbing Ling Jiang, who had helped Helian.
Is such a person scary?
Of course it's very scary.
But no one present would be surprised, because everything Chen Zui did was for Helian.
From his standpoint, there was nothing wrong with what he did.
If it were Xu Qingru and Duanmu Qingji, they would do the same thing for their country.
Such things happen frequently in history.
The most familiar one is Zhang Yi's deception of King Huai of Chu.
Zhang Yi promised to give Chu State [-] miles of land as long as Chu State broke off diplomatic relations with Qi State.
When King Huai of Chu really broke off diplomatic relations with Qi according to Zhang Yi's words and asked Zhang Yi for land, the six hundred miles promised to him turned into six miles.
The deceived King Huai of Chu became angry and determined to attack Qin.
At this time, the alliance between Chu and Qi had collapsed. How could the Chu army be the opponent of the Qin army? In the end, the Chu army was completely defeated.
At this moment, what Chen Zui was doing was no different from Zhang Yi.
How can one be a diplomat or strategist without brains and means?
Anyway, it was Ling Jiang who was cheating, not their Xuanyuan. Why wouldn't King Xuanyuan do something that was good for him?
King Xuanyuan secretly decided to help Ling Jiang, but on the surface he still looked embarrassed.
"Helian is facing a critical situation. I sympathize deeply and am willing to lend a helping hand, but Xuanyuan also has difficulties."
"Although Xuanyuan Kingdom is large, Zhao Kingdom and Dashuo Kingdom in the north have always been eyeing it. This makes me very distressed."
"If Zhao Guo and Dashuo see Xuanyuan sending troops and Ling Jiang to support Helian, and take the opportunity to attack, it will be a great threat to me, Xuanyuan."
King Xuanyuan made a helpless expression.
Chen was most amused.
He thought for a long time last night and came up with this possibility.
Unexpectedly, King Xuanyuan used Zhao Guo and Dashuo to give him problems today.
This is hoping to use his hand to stabilize Zhao Guo and Dashuo.
Xuanyuan could stab Ling Jiang in the back, establish diplomatic relations with Helian, and not be threatened by Zhao Guo and Dashuo. It can be said that Xuanyuan took all the benefits.
One by one, very cunning.
Chen Zui clearly thought of a way, but he had to pretend to be embarrassed.
"This...let me think about it."
His talent has already aroused the fear of King Xuanyuan and his subordinates. If they come up with a countermeasure immediately, this fear will definitely become deeper.
He must have countermeasures, but also take it easy to avoid putting himself in danger.
King Xuanyuan and others all stared at Chen Zui.
I saw that Chen Zui's expression was awkward at the beginning, then gradually became serious, and finally he suddenly became enlightened.
"There is no way out."
