"I heard that you are also from Wei and an important minister of Wei?...What is your name?"

When she saw Bei Gongyu, Mi Rui asked with a little excitement.

Seeing that there was no one around, Bei Gongyu cupped his hands and said truthfully: "I don't dare to pretend to be an important minister. I am Zhang Duwei's deputy. Bei Gongyu, I would like to pay my respects to Lord Mi Rui."

After saying that, he noticed that behind Mi Rui, Zhang Qigong was looking at him with a frown, a sad and disappointed expression on his face - this expression was familiar to Bei Gongyu, after all, Captain Zhang

He often looks at the ghosts and other troublesome black crows with this look of sadness that is greater than death.

He just didn't understand what he said wrongly just now, which actually made Captain Zhang look disappointed with him.

At this time, Mi Rui asked again: "You couldn't come to me on my sister's order, right?"

After hearing this, Bei Gongyu immediately noticed the solemn look on Captain Zhang's face, and he kept shaking his head slightly and glaring at himself.

But... what does this mean?

Beigong Yu thought about Mi Rui's words for a while, but didn't think they had any profound meaning, so he said truthfully: "I came here on his orders, and I was not lucky enough to receive the Queen's instructions. However, your Majesty once did

I have been asked to see how you are doing now if I meet you, Sir Mi Rui... I'm sorry to talk too much, but Your Majesty also misses Sir Mi Rui very much."

As soon as he said this, Bei Gongyu saw Zhang Qigong roll his eyes and stare at him with dead fish eyes.

"What did I say wrong again?"

Bei Gongyu was puzzled.

"Brother-in-law..."

Mi Rui looked embarrassed and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhang Qigong again.

"...My brother-in-law has always been very cruel to me. If he finds out that I almost killed one of his important ministers, I don't know how he will punish me... No, no, this is not bad. What's worse is that I have done it afterwards."

I thought about killing this Zhang Qigong to hide the truth, but I wonder if this Zhang Qigong guessed it? I heard from my sisters that I was very murderous at the time... Oops, Oops..."

She whispered secretly in her heart.

At this time, Zhang Qigong was looking at Bei Gongyu with an expression of "I am so angry that I can't argue with him". He suddenly noticed that Mi Rui turned her head and took a deep look at him, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

"...I just learned that Beigong is coming. Sir Mi Rui wants to come out with me to meet Beigong for no reason. This is obviously because he still has doubts about us. Hey, this guy Beigong has been quite reliable in the past, so this

How could you be so careless this time?...Can't you see that Mi Rui

Are you trying to trick you?... You and I are both important ministers who are highly valued by His Majesty, and now we are sent to Bashu together. Have you not thought that this move will arouse the suspicion of others?... That's it, Mi.

Lord Rui must have already suspected my purpose of coming to Bashu this time."

Zhang Qigong secretly cried out in his heart that it was terrible.

Feeling that the atmosphere seemed a little strange, Bei Gongyu frowned and looked at Zhang Qigong and Mi Rui, really confused.

He thought carefully about what he had just said, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Why did Captain Zhang and Mi Rui both have such strange expressions?

In view of the eagerness to exchange information with Zhang Qigong and fill in the loopholes in the plan, Bei Gongyu broke the dull atmosphere: "Master Mi Rui, I have some matters that need to be communicated in private with Master Zhang. Can you allow us to spend a moment together in private?

.”

After hearing this, Xi Rui didn't think too much, nodded and said, "Well, let's talk about it."

After that, she turned and left.

Looking at Mi Rui's walking back, Zhang Qigong breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "She is truly a wonderful woman with keen intuition. She deserves to be the Queen's sister. Her wisdom and wisdom should not be underestimated."

"Zhirui? How did you show it?"

Bei Gongyu looked at Zhang Qigong in disbelief. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't see how wise and wise Master Mi Rui was.

After arriving at Zhang Qigong's residence, Bei Gongyu ordered several black crows to guard against eavesdropping, and then reported his progress to Zhang Qigong: "According to the command of Lord Captain, I have successfully gained the trust of the Fan family.

,,I originally wanted to provoke a civil war between the Fan clan and the Xiang clan, but I never thought something would happen during the period..."

As he spoke, he told Zhang Qigong how he pretended to be a businessman who smuggled arms, how he gained the trust of the Fan family, and how the Qin army later intervened.

After listening to Bei Gongyu's story, Zhang Qigong was deeply pleased.

Unlike the Zuo Du Wei Department to which the Blue Crows belong, Zhang Qigong's Right Du Wei Department has few of the black crows under its jurisdiction who are smart. Bei Gongyu, his deputy whose intelligence is not inferior to Zhang Qigong's, deserves the title

This is Zhang Qigong's biggest reliance.

No, in the name of a businessman who pretended to smuggle arms, he gave the Fan family 500 sets of armaments and obtained their identity. More importantly, Bei Gongyu saw through Qin's conspiracy and persuaded the Fan family to refuse to accept Qin's so-called

Zhang Qigong was greatly praised for his kindness.

He believed that even if Zhang Qigong was in Langzhong at that time, he might not be able to do better than Bei Gongyu.

"I really didn't expect that the Qin State actually used money and silk to bribe the monarch of the State of Ju... The most incredible thing is that the monarch of the State of Ju actually accepted Qin's request to use the road to attack Shu for a little money. This ignorance is probably related to

The health care fees are pretty much the same..."

Zhang Qigong shook his head with emotion.

He once thought that a foolish monarch like Wei Fei, the king of Wei, might be unique in the world. Unexpectedly, here in the land of Bashu, there appeared a monarch who was no less ignorant than Wei Fei. He actually did this.

It was a foolish act to seek skin from a tiger.

"So, the State of Ju is now on the side of the State of Qin?" Zhang Qigong asked.

Bei Gongyu nodded and explained: "According to Fan Lie, the leader of the Fan clan, although the State of Ju was initially supported by the State of Shu in order to restrict Ba's vassal states, due to various reasons, the State of Ju later

The suzerain country of China is very dissatisfied and has always wanted to get rid of Shu..."

"Foolish!"

Zhang Qigong shook his head.

His views were exactly the same as Bei Gongyu's. He also felt that if the Qin State conquered Bashu one day, it would definitely destroy the Ju State. Unfortunately, the ignorant leader of the Ju State did not seem to have thought of this and actually did it for the sake of

For a little money, he betrayed the Kingdom of Shu.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qigong first told Bei Gongyu about the situation in Ba Kingdom - mainly the conflicts and intentions of Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu and Chu Shuijun and others, and then said to Bei Gongyu: "The Qin Kingdom is in Bashu

None

Internal response, if the Fan family is really persuaded to jointly attack the Shu Kingdom, the Shu Kingdom will have to deal with the military exploits from Hanzhong and Langzhong at the same time, which will be a big trouble. But since you have seen through Qin's plan

The trick persuaded the Fan family to refuse to join forces with Qin to conquer Shu, and even turned to aid Shu. Qin's chances of winning were not high..." At this point, he chuckled and continued: "Maybe at this time

Qin State

If you still want to attack Shu by force, you must pass through "Jianshan". Shu once built "Jianmen Pass (Sword Pavilion)" in that area. The main garrison and garrison generals should not be too ignorant and should be able to block Qin's army."

"I feel the same way when I'm in a humble position." Bei Gongyu said with a smile.

He also felt that the geographical location of Langzhong, where the Fan clan was located, was very critical, which was why he wanted to persuade Fan Lie, the leader of the Fan clan, to reject Qin's so-called goodwill.

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, Qin won't be able to capture Jianshan and will attack Fan's Langzhong." He added.

After hearing this, Zhang Qigong sneered and said: "Unless Qin is forced into a desperate situation, he will not attack Ba while Shu is still alive. Once Qin really dares to attack Langzhong, it will no longer be possible to deceive the Ba people."

...But you still have to be cautious and let the Fan family guard Bashan in the north. As long as Langzhong is not occupied by the Qin State, the Qin State can only take the road of Jianshan Mountain. The Jianshan Mountain area is dangerous and rugged.

It is so narrow that it is difficult to take advantage of the Qin army's large number of soldiers. In this case, although Shu is weak, it can still resist the Qin army with its natural dangers."

Beigong Yushen nodded in agreement, and then asked: "What about the Chu State? I believe that neither Bashu nor Bashu are rivals of the Qin State. Although they can use natural barriers to block the Qin State, they cannot cause any harm to the Qin State.

The casualties are immeasurable... I humbly suggest that it is better to lead the Chu army to fight with the Qin army!"

"This..." Zhang Qigong stroked his beard and thought deeply: "I'm afraid this can't be done for the time being... I don't know the situation between Chu Shuijun and the Xiang clan yet, but the leader of the Ba clan, Ba Jin,

, he was always wary of the Chu State. Although he had a good relationship with Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu, he still refused to join the Chu army... He reached an agreement with Xiong Hu and was willing to help the Chu State raise food as much as possible.

Xiong Hu promised that if the Xiang clan really used Chu's troops to attack the Ba clan, Xiong Hu would send troops to assist the Ba clan in attacking the Xiang clan and Chu Shuijun, but before that, the Chu army was not allowed to enter Ba clan.

country."

"When did the Xiang clan take action against the Ba clan?" Bei Gongyu asked.

"This is not clear yet." Zhang Qigong shook his head and guessed: "If Ba Qi is smart, he will deliberately reveal his agreement with Xiong Hu to make the Xiang family feel fearful..."

"How long will it take?" Bei Gongyu frowned.

Seeing this, Zhang Qigong smiled and said: "Before, Zhang was also having a headache about this. However, after you brought the news of "Qin Army's entry", I have thought of a clever plan... Since Qin State is suffering from no

Since the Xiang clan is suffering from a lack of military strength, why don't you and I help both sides and help them form an alliance?"

Bei Gongyu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Qigong with surprise and even admiration, and said repeatedly: "Absolutely amazing! This trick is amazing!"

Talking to smart people is a tacit understanding. No, Zhang Qigong just mentioned it briefly, and Bei Gongyu immediately thought of it. As a result, these two poisonous men who are best at conspiracy immediately got together to discuss specific strategies.

Although it seems unbelievable to promote the alliance between the Qin State and the Xiang clan, it is not necessarily impossible.

After all, what the Qin State desires for the time being is "Langzhong". As long as it obtains Langzhong, the Qin State can launch a two-sided attack on the Shu State.

Therefore, if the Qin State sends people to contact the Xiang clan and uses "Langzhong" as a reward to assist the Xiang clan in attacking the Fan clan, Ba clan and other Ba clan tribes, and to help Xiang Bin, the leader of the Xiang clan, become the king of Ba,

Xiang Bin may not reject Qin.

Once they get the support of Qin, Xiangbin and Chu Shuijun will most likely use troops to attack the Ba family immediately. In this case, the Ba family can only ask Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu for help. In this way,

The army of Western Chu can enter Bajun, which will lead to the "war between Qin and Chu" that Zhang Qigong and Beigong Yu are happy to see.

However, the irony is that the people who first thought of this strategy were neither the Qin people nor the Xiang clan, but Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu, two Wei people who were trying to turn Bashu upside down.

After discussing the specific strategy, Zhang Qigong said to Bei Gongyu: "I'll leave this matter to you. Remember to be careful."
