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

Li Jize had three major advisers under his command, namely Chen Yingyuan, Zhou Renhe and Le Yue.

What is the difference between these three people?

Chen Yingyuan's identity should be the "Zhuge Liang" of Li Jize's era. He knows a little bit of everything, but his greatest strength is assisting the King of Qin in handling government affairs.

Where is Zhou Renhe?

He is a character like Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, who is in charge of the logistics and financial affairs of Qingzhou, so he is generally not seen.

They are at Tianjiang Customs.

As for Le Yue, he is very interesting. He should be a character similar to Guo Jia!

He can't come to handle government affairs or logistics, but he can give you some unique insights into war and some foreign strategies.

The most amazing thing is...

This guy is good at coming up with surprising ideas!

What is a "magic strategy"? It sounds very high-sounding, but in reality it is "military adventurism."

If you can take risks, if you can afford to make a wrong move and die without a burial place, you can also come up with ingenious strategies.

For example, our army likes to camp by the river.

I won't! I'm going to go to the mountain and give you a heart-blooming.

Ma Su gives you a thumbs up!

This is a classic example of playing too hard, but what about playing well? It's like Han Xin! He openly repaired the plank road while secretly crossing Chencang, and set up camp with his back to the water.

Le Yue is such a character, but that’s not the point.

The point is...

Two thousand men dared to attack Zhang Tashan, who had 20,000 men. They were elite! I fought against the elite.

The art of warfare is based on deception. Therefore, when one is capable, pretend to be incapable; when one is using an enemy, pretend not to use it; when one is near, pretend to be far away; when one is far away, pretend to be near.

If these two people are combined together, you can imagine how crazy they would be in actual combat!

But even with such a "powerful combination", the King of Qin actually sent them to Wang Yuanya. What was he going to do?

Could it be that……

Li Jize also saw that Wang Yuanya's success was purely coincidental? Standing on the cusp of the trend?

Wang Yuanya is too powerful now, and the barbarians will definitely come to encircle and suppress him. Is he trying to save the princess of Former Qin?

"Your Highness, this situation is beyond the control of two people!"

Chen Yingyuan didn't dare to speak carelessly, so he could only carefully remind Li Jize that if they really wanted to save the Princess of Qin, the power of these two people would not be enough! How could the overall situation of the war be controlled by two people?

"Yes! You are right. Come! Prepare three ships of ammunition for me."

"..."

Chen Yingyuan was depressed!

If you want to do this, why not just support her openly? Why not just send troops?

It was obvious that when he was in the Prince of Qin's Mansion before, he was so angry with the Princess of Qin that he wanted to send the heroes of Liangshan to kill them.

But now?

As soon as they heard the news about her, they sent generals and counselors, and now they are sending arms as well?

Li Jize clapped his hands and laughed heartily, saying, "No matter who it is, as long as they're causing trouble for the barbarians, I, Li Jize, will definitely lend a hand. Most importantly... as long as the barbarians' attention is drawn to this massive uprising, I'll be free to deal with our neighbors."

Ok?

Chen Yingyuan was stunned. Who was the neighbor that King Qin wanted to deal with?

Is it the barbarian or Lin Jiaxuan behind him, or the empress?

Until Li Jize hummed a little tune, with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said, "I heard that Korean ginseng is a good thing! My favorite is ginseng stewed with black chicken."

Well! Chen Yingyuan finally realized that he was sending people and arms, hoping that his ex-wife's sister could withstand the barbarians for a while longer, and it would be best if she could make as much trouble as possible.

While the barbarians were focusing their attention on his ex-wife's sister, Li Jize sent his navy to circumvent them and plunder... Oh no! He was going to attack their vassal state, Goryeo.

Speaking of which, these Koreans deserve to be beaten!

They were once a vassal of Da Qi, and in order to save their country, Da Qi has now encountered financial difficulties.

But what happened next?

After the barbarians conquered Goryeo, they surrendered immediately and sent their navy to help the barbarians resist the Qin army's navy.

At that time, Li Jize was full of anger (had the evil intention of robbery), and clamored that he must take revenge on (must plunder) Goryeo.

But I was also afraid that if we sent our main force to deal with Goryeo, the barbarians would do something bad. If we didn't deal with Goryeo, the money we had on hand would be too much.

Although Tianjiang can collect tolls and support the Qin army, it is only useful for Qingzhou.

If Li Jize had ambitions to rule the world, or even more broadly, if he wanted to join the "Colonial Club", he would need a huge amount of silver!

Ten years for the army, a hundred years for the navy, this is no joke!

On the one hand, to build the navy tree, we have to find ancient books that are more than a hundred years old. On the other hand, the silver is a sky-high price!

The army can just charge with their muskets, but you can't let the navy charge by wading in the sea water, right?

This navy's equipment is so good that it can be smashed with tons of gold!

Chen Yingyuan felt that the King of Qin's behavior was not good. How could they, who studied Confucian culture, rob others?

You plundered the barbarians, and we can say it's a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, but Korea did nothing wrong? Even if they sent their navy to attack, wasn't that coercion from the barbarians?

and so……

He heard Li Jize's plan to supply weapons and people to his ex-wife's sister and instruct her on how to start an uprising! How to get higher and bigger!

He wanted to persuade the barbarians to take advantage of the fact that their attention was drawn so that he could rob the bird's nest in Gaoli.

But what was unexpected was that Li Jize raised his hand directly to stop Chen Yingyuan from speaking next.

He said coldly, "Ying Yuan! In this era, only we Qi people still abide by these rules! This era has long since become an era of the survival of the fittest. It doesn't mean that if you don't rob or seize, others won't rob or seize. You have to understand that if you want to survive in this era, we Qi people either have to endure! Or be cruel!"

Yes! You can either become a slave to the barbarians, shave your head in peace, let them exploit you, and linger on until the end of time.

Or just be a little cruel and follow the path of these bandits, leaving them with no way out!

Chen Yingyuan: “…”

If he had any persistence before, after following the King of Qin for so long, His Highness the King of Qin proved with facts that he was right!

People of Qi! If China wants to have a future, it must follow the path planned by the King of Qin.

otherwise……

This nation will live in immense darkness!

But when he thought of the Koreans who were about to suffer the same disaster as them, Chen Yingyuan could only sigh for them.

He's not a time traveler, so how could he know what happened in the future? It's normal to have sympathy!

But Li Jize didn't have that. The only compassion he had was for his own nation and the land he lived on.

The plan to plunder Goryeo is about to begin!
