If Li Yu is a foolish monarch, it wouldn't be so.

Although Li Yu was stubborn, he had at least not reached the point of being licentious and indecent, and at most he could only be considered a mediocre master.

However, in such an era of storms, facing a powerful lord like Zhao Kuangyin, the fate of a foolish lord and a mediocre lord is no different.

Shi Weizi was unwilling to be buried with Li Yu, so he certainly hoped that Fan Ruoshui would not be so stupid either.

Fan Ruoshui's expression was filled with disappointment and regret.

At this time, he was truly awakened.

Seeing that he was finally enlightened, Shi Wei took the opportunity to say, "I have received the protection of the Song envoy and plan to move to the Song Dynasty with your sister and the others. Brother Ruoshui, please join me in the Song Dynasty. I will recommend you to Lord Lu. With your talent, you can get a job as a vocation."

Fan Ruoshui was shocked: "Brother Yuanzhi, do you really want to join the enemy country?"

Although Fan Ruoshui was extremely disappointed with Li Yu, the sentence "fighting for the enemy country" showed that he still had a turn and had not turned around.

Shi Wei smiled and said lightly: "Brother Ruoshui, you claim to be well-read in poetry and books. Then you must have heard such a saint's words: 'The king has no morals, and the people will submit to other countries'."

"The king has no way, and the people vote for other countries... The king has no way, and the people vote for other countries..."

Fan Ruoshui repeated these seven words over and over again, and his expression of confusion and surprise gradually became calm.

After a moment, he looked as usual and nodded, "Brother Yuanzhi said it is reasonable. Since the emperor is so distraught, it is reasonable and you should all defect to Song State."

"You?" Shi Wei suddenly felt suspicious and asked, "What, brother Ruoshui, don't you plan to join Jiangbei with us?"

Fan Ruoshui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I said before that even if I, Fan Ruoshui, want to be an official, I have to rely on my true skills. If I go to Song State and rely on your relationship with Brother Yuanzhi, then what is the difference between the Song Dynasty and the Tang State?"

At this point, Fan Ruoshui is still so persistent. I really don’t know if he should be stupid or praise him for his ambition.

Shi Wei pondered for a moment, and suddenly a novel idea flashed through his mind.

He turned around and closed the door, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother Ruoshui, it's nothing wrong for you to rely on yourself. I think you can make a contribution to the Song Dynasty and then cross the river Beitou again. Then, rely on your contribution to become an official. In this way, it should be contrary to your principles."

Fan Ruoshui was inspired by his spirit, as if Shi Wei's words made him realize a lot.

But he felt sad again in a blink of an eye and sighed: "I, Fan Ruoshui, are just a scholar, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty. How can I make contributions to the Song Dynasty?"

Shi Wei further said: "The Song Dynasty has been established for more than ten years. The Chu State, Jingnan, Western Shu, and Southern Han State have all been destroyed. The territory of their country is growing and the military power is growing. I think it is only a matter of time before the Emperor Song has the ambition to annex the **, unify the world, go south to use troops, and eliminate the Tang State."

Fan Ruoshui was quite touched by hearing these words.

He nodded and said, "The world's general trend will be divided after a long time of unity, and the division will be unified after a long time of unity. Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of Song is indeed a rare hero. It is natural to destroy our Tang Kingdom in the south. But now I no longer intend to serve the Tang Kingdom, so what does this have to do with me?"

A strange smile flashed in Shi Wei's eyes.

"Of course this has something to do. Brother Ruoshui, think about it, if the Song army took the Tang Kingdom south, what would be the biggest obstacle?"

Fan Ruoshui showed suspicion on his face, and couldn't figure out why Shi Wei had this question for a moment, but he answered without hesitation: "The Northern Dynasty has captured Jiangnan since ancient times, and naturally the obstacles of the Yangtze River."

Although Fan Ruoshui was a little stupid, at least he had not read it stupidly and still had some insight.

Shi Wei nodded and continued, "That's right, brother Ruoshui, I want to ask you again. If you were asked to command the Song army to capture the Tang State, how would you use troops?"

Fan Ruoshui became increasingly confused, but he really couldn't understand why he had taken the exam for his own military strategy again.

However, he read a lot of books, but he was not only interested in the Four Books and Five Classics, and also had many "extracurricular reading materials" such as military books and history books. Shi Wei's test could not stump him.

Fan Ruoshui pondered for a while and then said, "If Song took Tang, he would attack Jinling from both sides of the east and west. One way was dominated by navy, starting from the upper reaches of Jingchu, heading east along the river, and the other way, crossing the Yangtze River from Huainan to the south, and the two ways would attack Jinling."

Fan Ruoshui's answer was similar to Shi Wei's judgment, so he asked again: "Then do you think that when you cross the Yangtze River from the downstream south, where should you be elected as a ferry?"

Fan Ruoshui said without hesitation: "Since ancient times, crossing the Yangtze River from the downstream south, there have been seven or eighteen years of choice. Because this river is the narrowest, it is the best place for the Song army to cross the river quickly, but..."

"Just what?" Shi Wei asked.

Fan Ruoshui said: "It's just that the Caishi River is narrow, but the waves are very fast. Even if the Song army can occupy Caishi Rock, it will be quite difficult to transport soldiers by ships alone."

Shi Wei has been laying the groundwork for so long and finally brought the topic to the point.

He laughed strangely: "Although there is no bridge to cross on the river, if you can use bamboo rafts and big boats to build a floating bridge, then when the Song Dynasty crosses the river, wouldn't it be better to walk on flat ground?"

"pontoon?"

Fan Ruoshui was surprised. You must know that since ancient times, there has never been any incident of placing a floating bridge on the Yangtze River. Shi Wei suddenly mentioned how he could not be surprised.

However, after the initial surprise, Fan Ruoshui thought carefully and nodded, "It is not impossible to build a floating bridge on the river, but it is necessary to accurately measure the width of the river surface and build a fixed object on the shore in advance. This is easy to say, but it is afraid it is very difficult to do."

Shi Wei smiled and said, "It is precisely because it is very difficult. If Brother Ruoshui, you can do these things, and then go to the Song court in Beibei and offer this floating bridge strategy to the Song emperor to help the Song court complete the great cause of unification, wouldn't it be a real man's reputation and reputation? With this achievement, are you still afraid that the Song court will not use it seriously?"

Shi Wei finally said what he wanted to say.

He just vaguely remembered this plan in history, and thought that Fan Ruoshui happened to live in Caishi Town. He knew the ferry, wei dam, and fortress on the riverside. All the factors were put together, which made him have such an idea.

At this time, Fan Ruoshui suddenly became excited. It was obvious that Shi Wei's reminder made him feel excited about sudden enlightenment.

But he thought about it, but said, "After that being said, Caishi is an important town in the Tang Dynasty and has heavy troops stationed. How can I measure the river surface under the nose of the garrison and build a fixed object on the pontoon bridge?"

"What's the point? Of course it's your bald head." Shi Wei patted his bare bald head.

"Hmm?" Fan Ruoshui was stunned.

Shi Wei no longer beat around the bush and said, "Don't you want to be a monk? I remember there is a Guangji Buddhist temple by Caishi River. Why don't you go to this temple with the name of becoming a monk and secretly measure the river surface with the cover of this monk's identity? Who will doubt you then?"

One word wakes up the dreamer.

At this time, Fan Ruoshui suddenly had an enlightenment like a sudden enlightenment.

After a while of silence, his frown gradually loosened. He suddenly touched his bald head and burst into laughter.
