Liu Canjun felt a headache coming on.
He was punched in the head by Sun Lang, and his wound started to hurt again.
Find a way to lure him out?
Are you kidding me?
Not to mention that he was a famous general of Tianyuan, and his achievements were almost unparalleled. It was difficult to coax him. Even if he was lucky enough to succeed, but …
He felt the pain in his body.
He thought of the military camp that seemed to have been ravaged by a tornado.
Also, there was the terrible filthy air and the almost immoral way of fighting.
A man who had given up treatment, abandoned the so-called demeanor of a master, and could do anything crazy … You want me to plot against him?
Moreover, he had set up a trap for him to bump into his two wives and let him have a taste of the backyard fire and the washboard.
Damn, are you kidding me?
Even if Lin Daiyu was cold and fierce, even if Xue Baochai was good at scheming, even if the man was guilty, could Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai kill him?
At most, she would vent her anger and throw a tantrum. The matters between husband and wife should be resolved after a round of rolling on the bed. Then, what happened next?!
Then we would be dead!
We would definitely be used as a punching bag!
It would definitely be like that!
Is he going to thank us for this?
Thank us for helping him to reconcile with his wives?
Are you kidding me?
Eh … Wait, this seems to be a good idea.
But we can't do it in that way!
Liu Yiwu vehemently rejected Empress's proposal in his mind. It seemed that this woman must have just suffered a big loss, so she was angry and wanted to take revenge a hundred times over. I have to think of a way …
He made up his mind and immediately advised, "Your Highness, have you forgotten what I said before?
Your greatest enemy is not in the north, but in the south. They are the nobles, your brothers, who are eager to see you fail, eager to see you die.
Now the situation is critical. You have to solve the matter in Mingzhou properly to restore the good image in His Majesty's mind … "
He carefully considered his tone and said carefully, "Don't be angry here. After all, even if this plan succeeds, what practical benefits will it bring?
The marshal won't suffer any actual losses at all. At most, he'll lose some face. After losing face over there, he'll definitely feel indignant and want to take revenge. There will be many variables and new waves … "
He felt that his persuasion was already very reasonable. After all, this was a political game, and it involved the throne of the Crown Prince. Every Crown Prince who was ambitious should calm down and compromise … After all, that was the supreme position, and it was supreme power. In order to obtain it, no one would mind paying the price.
But Empress seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today. She gritted her teeth and said, "No!"
Liu Yiwu almost jumped up and shouted, "Your Highness!"
"No means no!" Emperor Concubine gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not just venting my anger!
This is my first official confrontation with him. Even if I can't obtain a complete victory, I can't suffer a crushing defeat!
I have to take back the advantage and win one battle. Even if it's only once, even if I have to deal with his revenge afterwards, I have to win once!
I have to see him running away in embarrassment. I have to see his stupid face. I have to win once. I have to tell myself that I can beat him! "
She stood up and looked at Liu Canjun. She said coldly, "Do you understand?"
Otherwise, a seed called failure would slowly start to take root and sprout. It would become an inner demon, constantly reminding himself that he couldn't win. He couldn't win. It was impossible to win.
If he couldn't win, then everything would be meaningless. He couldn't get the throne or the country. Since he couldn't get it, why should he care about it?
Liu Canjun soon understood what Empress meant.
He looked at the woman in front of him and soon understood what she meant. She was a general who also shined in the Heaven's Origin Sector. She was on par with the legendary marshal back then.
Although she had external help such as the identity of the royal family and the support of the emperor, it was undeniable that this woman had the qualifications to be a ruler … She had her own ideas and knew what she wanted to do.
… So troublesome.
He sighed. He knew that Empress had made up her mind and couldn't be changed.
Since he couldn't persuade her, he could only do his duty as a strategist.
He organized his thoughts and took a breath. He asked, "In that case, this official will help Your Highness.
However, this official just woke up not long ago and doesn't know what happened during this time. The military books say that only by knowing the enemy and yourself can you win a hundred battles. This subordinate needs to understand some things first, whether it's on our side or the enemy. "
Empress calmed down a little. She nodded and said, "Just ask."
Liu Yiwu pondered for a moment and then asked. Empress answered him one by one. The thinking of wise people was similar. The questions that Liu Yiwu wanted to ask were also the questions that Empress wanted to know. She had already sent people to collect them.
After a series of questions and answers, Liu Canjun went through all the answers in his mind and fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Since the target is the marshal, then we have to start with him.
Right now, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Not only does the enemy know Empress Tu's military system like the back of his hand, he is also very strong. Entering our camp is like entering a place with no one. We can't use force to defeat him, but … we have to use strategy. "
Liu Canjun raised his head and said to Empress, "Before we decide on a plan, we have to understand two things. One is where he is right now and what he is doing."
"If we want to understand these two things, we have to first analyze his final goal. All of his actions are to serve his final goal. We have already come to this conclusion before.
The marshal divided Ming Province, roped in the generals, and nominally occupied the north to stand against the court. However, he didn't openly declare war. This means that he doesn't want to fight. He also wants to use political negotiations to obtain what he wants. "
Liu Yiwu came to this conclusion. "Speaking of which, it's a bit funny. We want to force him to the negotiating table, and he seems to want to force us to the negotiating table. Both sides have the same goal, but they haven't reached a consensus. They want to fight over who is stronger and who is weaker. Everyone wants to lead the negotiations because this means that they can gain more."
Empress's expression cleared up. At least Liu Canjun was not an idiot. It was just that Xue Baochai was too cunning.
Liu Yiwu spoke with assurance. "Since we know his goal, his actions are to continuously weaken our advantage.
What is the advantage of Your Highness Empress?
To put it simply, it's this camp full of elites from the six armies. To put it simply, it's the general situation, the identity of the imperial envoy, and the dignity of the court. As long as you successfully reach Ming Province with the elites under your command, you will have the absolute general situation. "
"This general situation is called imperial power. It is the power of the most powerful country in the world. It is the supreme merit for winning the Battle of Tianyuan. It is enough to make any fence-sitter lower his head."
Liu Canjun said, "At that time, most of the arrangements made by the marshal will be rendered ineffective. After all, Ming Province is not his base. He has no prestige there. He has only achieved the effect of ruling by dividing and roping in and controlling the high-ranking civil and military officials … Once you arrive with the army, whether it's the civil and military officials or the nobles, they will have to consider whether they want to confront the Heavenly Army directly."
Empress nodded slowly. "Exactly."
"Then, the general will definitely try his best to prevent it from happening. That is his goal."
Liu Yiwu said resolutely, "To keep you out of Ming Province and the negotiating table out of Ming Province so that we can reach an agreement and consensus outside of Ming Province … Perhaps, there is another way."
Empress raised his eyebrow. "What way?"
"Or," Liu Canjun said, "he can ask you to leave your army behind and negotiate in Ming Province in secret. All in all, the general will not allow the imperial envoy to arrive in Ming Province while beating drums and gongs. Otherwise, people's hearts will waver."
Empress sneered. "He wants me to leave my army behind, walk into a trap, and go to Ming Province to be slaughtered by him?
Do you think I'm that stupid? "
Liu Yiwu replied, "If he attacks the camp every day, turns it into a mess, collapses morale, poisons and sets fires every day, attacks the soldiers, hangs the generals on the flagpoles, causing everyone to feel insecure. Then, he spreads rumors and causes unrest in the army. As long as he drags it out for a while, rumors will spread all over the capital, causing the situation to become more and more unfavorable to you … sooner or later, you will lose your patience and take the initiative to negotiate."
Empress's expression froze.
She had to admit that this plan was very effective. With Sun Lang's brain, he would naturally think of it. With his moral integrity, he would naturally do this without any pressure.
She gritted her teeth and said, "If that's the case, we can't let him succeed."
"Yes," Liu Canjun said. "Then, the most important question is, where is he right now?"
Empress said, "He led those Slalos to break out of the encirclement and …"
At this point, she stopped. She had already realized something.
Since Sun Lang already had a goal, he couldn't just go back to sleep after causing a ruckus.
No … it was possible, but …
She looked at Liu Yiwu. "What will he do?"
Liu Canjun didn't answer immediately. Instead, he fell into deep thought. "The filth exploded and injured more than ten generals. Their injuries varied, but they all fainted. Then, he led 21 Slalos to sweep through the camp and defeated all the troops, but he didn't hurt anyone. He didn't hurt anyone … Ouch!"
An idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He suddenly raised his head. "He didn't hurt anyone!
His goal isn't just to demonstrate, nor is it just to break the army's morale, but … "
Empress also suddenly stood up. The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, "He wants to spread rumors and buy people's hearts!"
Liu Canjun said quickly, "How to buy people? How to spread rumors?
The spread of rumors needs the first person to spread them, and the fastest way is … "
Empress gritted her teeth and said, "Those generals!
Some of them are his friends' nephews! "
Liu Canjun nodded. "Yes!
Your Highness, where's the roster?
Let's quickly arrange people to intercept … "
"Why do we need to arrange people?
Don't we have the best candidate? "Empress's eyes flashed with a malicious light." Go and call Xue Baochai in! "
