I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"I didn't expect you to know so much, sir. I really admire you. It seems I underestimated you before. You really are a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the market."

Lin Chen's attitude has changed a lot now. It can be said that what Zhang Xu said just now is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. This is indeed the case. It seems that the choice he made just now was not wrong.

"To me, it's just common sense."

"Sir, please continue and analyze the general situation of the world for me."

Lin Chen then said that this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to understand the world. He had come to this world but had not yet fully understood it. As the ancients once said, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Only by fully understanding the world can he know the basic survival rules of the world and live better.

"Okay, then I'll continue. I was talking about something I was saying. It seems that the remaining fourteen countries are all small countries. There is no way they can be compared with the four countries of Wu, Shu, Wei and Qin. Therefore, for Qin, the biggest threat is still Wu, Shu and Wei. The other fourteen small countries are not a concern. As long as we defeat Wu, Shu and Wei, then Qin will definitely be able to unify the world!"

Zhang Xun moved closer and said to Lin Chen.

"Then how can we, the Qin State, defeat those three slightly stronger countries? Or in other words, how can we defeat those three countries one by one?"

Lin Chen raised his head and said to Zhang Xun while looking at him.

"This is actually very simple. The entire country is now divided into four parts. As long as our Qin State defeats one of these countries, our strength will definitely increase greatly. Among the three countries of Wu, Shu and Wei, Wei is the most powerful one now. We cannot afford to provoke this country, so we should not focus on Wei. The remaining ones are Shu and Wu. The strength of these two countries is not much different, but because Wu is too far away, if our Qin State wants to attack Wu now, it may not be achieved and there will be no good results. So now the most important thing for us is to focus on Shu, which is closest to us. Although this country is not as large as Wei and Wu, it has a large population, rich resources and high productivity. If we can defeat Shu, then the hope of unifying the world will be even greater."

Zhang Xun carefully analyzed it for Lin Chen.

"Well, you're right. That's true, but you also said that Wu, Shu, and Wei are all stronger than us. No matter which country is singled out, its overall strength is higher than our Qin."

After listening to this, Lin Chen told his thoughts.

"What you said is indeed true. Wu, Shu, and Wei are all stronger than us. No matter which one we pick out and confront head-on, we cannot contend with it. Therefore, we absolutely cannot fight head-on. We can only outsmart them and use our brains to deal with Shu."

Zhang Xun responded.

"Oh, how do you outsmart me?"

Lin Chen asked again.

"Well, I don't say this lightly, please forgive me, sir."

Zhang Xun paused and replied.

Lin Chen also understood that it was unlikely that others would easily tell him such a strategy. The most important thing was that this was no ordinary strategy. Such a strategy was enough to influence the overall situation of the world. So Zhang Xun didn't tell him, and Lin Chen accepted it. He didn't feel unhappy. This was a normal operation and reaction. If he had such a strategy, he would not tell others easily.

"It's okay, it's okay. I understand. I didn't expect you to be so talented and intelligent. I was right. You're indeed capable. But there's one thing I don't know. I want to ask you. Would you be willing to tell me?"

Lin Chen asked again. Now that he had met such a great man, he must make the best use of this person and tell him all his useful information. If he could find out some important things, it would be worthwhile for him to sacrifice his precious time to negotiate with this old man.

"Sir, please tell me. If I know anything, I will definitely tell you, as long as it is not beyond my ability."

Zhang Xun answered modestly.

He didn't answer the question of how to outsmart others just now because he didn't want to show his value so easily. If one day he used up all his strategies, then he might become a discarded pawn and no one would dare to use him anymore...

This was a situation Zhang Xun didn't want to see.

"Crunch~~~~"

At this moment, the door in front of the small room was opened, and a tall man appeared at the door carrying several bowls of food.

"Excuse me, sir, may I come in? I hope I am not disturbing you."

The man at the door looked at Zhang Xun and Lin Chen and said.

"No, of course not, come in quickly!"

Lin Chen responded.

"Okay, then I'm coming in."

After saying that, the tall man entered the small room and placed the steaming food on the table.

"My dear guests, these dishes are our restaurant's best signature dishes. They must taste great. Let me introduce them to you!"

"These dishes are five-flavor soup, stir-fried chicken with mushrooms, braised beef, stir-fried bok choy, and a dish of braised pork head!"

The man introduced each dish one by one, not missing any.

"My dear guests, the dishes have arrived. They are all here. If you need anything else, you can tell me at any time and I will come right over."

The man in front of me said seriously.

"Okay, I understand. Let's serve these dishes first. I'll let you know if there's anything else you need."

Lin Chen looked at the talent on the table and said with satisfaction.

Lin Chen had already eaten and left. Now the main thing was to feed Zhang Xun. Moreover, Lin Chen expected Zhang Xun would not be picky about these dishes. After all, Zhang Xun had not eaten for a whole day. He had been hungry for so long, so even if he was given a bowl of noodles boiled in plain water, he would still be able to eat it.

"Zhang Xun, what do you think? Do these dishes suit your taste? Do you want more?"

Lin Chen glanced at the talent on the table, then looked at Zhang Xun, and spoke.

"I'm fine with anything. These dishes are already delicious. There's no need to order anything else. Thank you so much, sir!"

"It's okay, it's just a small matter, don't take it to heart. Besides, you just told me so much, it's already very good, and I was going to treat you to this meal anyway!
