The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

"Let the messenger wait and call the staff to a meeting!"

"Yes!"

Three Zhuge Liangs are better than one cobbler. Although the brains of the staff group may not be as good as Li Jize's, he has far-sightedness after all.

The pattern determines the wisdom!

But since they are a staff group, they are naturally the smartest people of this era. At the very least, they can give Li Jize some inspiration, right?

Let me introduce to you Li Jize’s staff. Of course, they are called the Staff Group within the Qin Army according to the Qin King’s regulations.

In this era, the role of staff was generally to assist the lord, while fighting wars depended on the general's experience and counselors.

But Li Jize changed it and set up a special department, namely the "General Staff"!

They are not only responsible for some domestic affairs, but also for military operations.

To put it bluntly, wars used to rely on generals, but now they rely on the general staff!

Even if he is an idiot, if you put him in the position of a general, as long as you implement the plan of the general staff truthfully, the general can become a powerful man who is "invincible in a hundred battles."

But in disguise, the General Staff has a heavy responsibility!

They have to take responsibilities and also have channels for promotion. The military advisors in the past did not have such channels.

Back to the topic, Chief of Staff Chen Yingyuan’s official title was the Chief Envoy of the Royal Palace.

He is very good at strategy and is a figure similar to Zhang Liang, mainly focusing on the overall situation.

The second one is Zhou Renhe, who is responsible for logistics. He can always make you feel comfortable, which makes Li Jize most at ease.

The third one is actually the third in command, responsible for fighting! This master is called Le Yue, and his best strategy is the extraordinary plan!

What is a brilliant plan?

It is a risky move, launching an attack when you least expect it and in a place you think is impossible.

Those who are good at using strange strategies can achieve small momentum, but not big momentum!

This kind of person can only be used in war, or more specifically in tactics.

But in the big picture, these people actually lack a sense of the overall situation...

For example, a certain fifty-six could come up with a brilliant plan to attack the American harbor.

It led to a victory at one point, and the entire East Japan was excited and cheering, but did this kind of person lead the country to victory in the end?

No!

Those who are good at using strange strategies actually have more of a gambling mentality!

The Eastern Japanese were good at using ingenious strategies, betting on the Russians once and on us once, and both times they won a great victory. But in the end, they bet on the Americans once and they all became "acquaintances".

Because of this, Le Yue is very powerful and can always think of directions that Li Jize can't think of!

But why is his status lower than Chen Yingyuan?

Have you ever seen America play tricks? Their wars are always smooth sailing.

Because of this, many people say that they have no tactics and only rely on weapons.

But is there a possibility that their advanced weapons and wealthy country are their advantages?

Chen Yingyuan advocates this kind of fighting style!

If I have to say, Chen Yingyuan is the type like Zhuge Liang, who is steady and cautious, while Le Yue is the type like Guo Jia, who is good at controlling people's hearts and using strange strategies!

Of course, no matter how powerful his subordinates' strategies are, the final decision is still in the hands of Li Jize.

If the monarch is a smart person, he will naturally be able to grasp the most ingenious choice from these strategies. If the monarch is a tyrant like the empress, she will not listen to anything you say, or she will just listen to everything!

It is difficult for such people to achieve anything.

Li Jize called three people together and they discussed carefully why the empress sent the imperial edict and how to deal with it next.

In fact, the four of them all agreed that there was only one possibility for the empress to issue an imperial decree at this time!

Give Li Jize a way out!

Didn’t Li Jize say before that the Empress was with him and he was the commander-in-chief of the army?

But why would the empress go to the south to restore her throne? Wouldn't this be a slap in the face of Li Jize?

Because of this, the empress must have issued an imperial decree to recognize Li Jize's position as the "Grand Marshal of the Army of the World"! But at the same time, the world is bustling with people because of profit.

There is no such thing as a quick fix without profit. I'm afraid that after the empress issued such an imperial decree, she will definitely ask for "benefits" from Li Jize.

The only difference is, what will be the benefits?

Chen Yingyuan believed that the Empress had just been restored to the throne, but there were still two "fake emperors" in the south. These two people clearly did not recognize the Empress and believed that she was the "fake emperor."

In this case, if the empress wants to stabilize the situation in the south, she needs the King of Qin.

Whether it was Li Jize holding back the northern barbarians and preventing them from moving south so that she could consolidate her internal affairs, or gaining Li Jize's support to help her suppress the rebellion of other "false emperors", it was extremely beneficial.

Because of this, the empress decided to "let bygones be bygones" and continue to win over Li Jize.

Because Li Jize is the only one who is "not **", the only one who is still waving the banner of empress!

All right! They were all basically certain that the Empress's decree was meant to win them over.

But it all depends on whether to accept or not. If you accept, how can you get along? If you don't accept, how can you get along?

Chen Yingyuan believed that the Empress was legitimate! Since Li Jize's position as the Grand Marshal of the Army came from the Empress, he naturally had to respect the orthodoxy! He had to follow the right path! Only then would more talented people join Li Jize.

But Zhou Renhe disagreed. He thought the empress was a fool! How could she be called a wise ruler for what she did?

But we cannot openly oppose it, because in today's feudal thinking, the importance of Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers is still very important.

Openly opposing the emperor is very bad and has a very bad impact.

In other words, Zhou Renhe is "moderate." I neither oppose you nor obey you. I just live my own life!

Le Yue was more radical. He thought, "Why should we accept the imperial edict? Is it wrong for us to fight against local tyrants and distribute land in Qingzhou, let the people praise us one by one, and shout the slogan "Great Harmony Under Heaven, Equality for All"?"

Shouldn't we draw a clear line between ourselves and the emperor, the largest landlord class in the world?

It should be rejected decisively! Give the people confidence.

Well, Li Jize was originally undecided, so he asked three military advisors to come and discuss the direction of things together.

But I never thought that there would be three people and three routes.

Chen Yingyuan’s “Way of Sages”, Zhou Renhe’s “Way of the Mean”, and Yue Yue’s “Way of Reform”.

So how does Li Jize choose?

Only children make choices, adults want them all!

Li Jize immediately made the decision. On the surface, we obey the Empress and remain the people of the Great Qi, but in reality, our army is still our army. We are ourselves! Our army only obeys the orders of the King of Qin.

As for the internal affairs, we should follow Le Yue's path of reform, and continue to fight against the local tyrants when necessary, and divide the land when necessary.

So far...

As the three of them shouted "Our lord is wise", the meeting was adjourned to welcome the imperial envoy!
