Ding Kui would be shocked if he heard the conversation between Jin Man and Gu Jun, because at this time he had not yet decided to send troops to Shibu County.
"You think I should go, but you're not sure what they want to talk about. Do you expect me to adapt to the situation when the time comes? You're overestimating my ability."
He was a little unhappy after listening to Liu Yu and Fei Ze's explanations. He was used to the two think tanks arranging everything, but he suddenly encountered an uncertain itinerary and felt insecure.
"It's you who overestimated us. My queen is very resourceful. It's difficult for my subordinates to find information about her. They can't make judgments without knowing her. If the judgment is wrong, it will miss your major event. This is
Things are the responsibility of subordinates." Fei Ze took the initiative to take responsibility.
"My lord misunderstood my subordinate, and I didn't report it to you because I wasn't sure what he was thinking. In fact, I can speculate on several possibilities, and I will wait to see you in person to explain them in detail.
Our country is definitely concerned about the civil strife in our country and wants to get a share of it. This is certain. Generally speaking, inviting you to come this time is related to the civil strife in our country." Liu Yu stopped here.
"I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you!" Ding Kui immediately admitted his mistake, "Mr. Liu continued, let's discuss it together."
Liu Yu nodded and continued: "From the time our Northern Route Army invaded Nanqiu County to your triumphant return from Beibei County, our kings and ministers should begin to understand the strength of our lord. If you insist on opposing us, you will have to use millions of troops.
But there is no need for our country to fight with us, which will only increase losses. It may fall into the quagmire of a long-term war. Even if we are defeated, Shao Dianshi and Shao Dianyong will not allow them to invade the territory, and they will not get even the slightest bit of compensation.
benefit.
Meng Guo is still watching from the sidelines, and there are rumors that the battle between Cao Qi and Cao Qi involves major interests. Our country's desire for Chunlu Bay Water Village may be related to this. After all, our country does not want to waste time, energy and money on us."
"I know this. I'm a tough guy. Even if I chew it off, I'll break a few of their teeth. I robbed them to the point of being rich, and they robbed me to the point of being poor. I'm not worthy of being their enemy." Ding Kui is self-aware.
.
"You put it brilliantly!
The key is whether it's worth it. It's not worth being your enemy but it's worth being friends with you. The fetus in your wife's arms may inherit the rule of Shaodian Kingdom. The kings and ministers of your own country must understand that adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help in the snow.
However, there are problems with being friendly with you.
Firstly, you often went against your country and personally led troops to defeat our country's Northern Route Army; secondly, you privately organized troops to plunder the property of two counties of your country, causing millions of people to be displaced, and in the eyes of the people on the border of your country.
Here you are a butcher."
Liu Yu was not worried that saying this would anger Ding Kui, as it had already spread among the people of his country.
"Haha, some people say you are the demon killing god." Fei Ze added with a smile.
"Hahaha, it's not bad to scare children from crying at night. As long as Shaodian people love me, it doesn't matter what the people of my country think." Ding Kui was still a little proud.
"Therefore, if my country wants to have good relations with you, it has to find a way out. It is expected to be brought up in this negotiation." Liu Yu proposed the first possibility.
"Is it possible to give a date after a slap? It's possible." Ding Kui agreed with this point of view.
Fei Zedao: "My country wants to save face. At least it can be justified on the surface. My lord may lose face."
"It doesn't matter. Losing face means losing face, so you can consider it. After all, they are a huge country, and I, a small lord, can't compare with them. It's not shameful to lose to them." Ding Kui thought about this, and it was not a big problem to lose face.
"After our country has made good relations with you, the next step is to get benefits from you, most likely from your wife and the future eldest son. It's hard to say what they want or what conditions they will put forward." Liu Yu couldn't guess.
,.
This scope is too broad, and his knowledge in this position is also limited, so that if he says something wrong, it will affect Ding Kui's thinking.
"That's right, it's pretty much what I thought. A country can send troops for its own benefit. Just look at the North and Central Route Army. They put hundreds of thousands of troops on the rebel king, but they can't see any gains." Ding Kui said.
Look elsewhere for reference.
Fei Ze speculated: "The first benefit may be that the rebels tried to alienate the relationship between you and the court. The result should be said to be successful."
"The queen of your own country has big plans. You have to prevent her from opening her mouth and asking for territory." Liu Yu recently studied Shao Dianrong and gained some experience.
"That's right, she is probably behind the actions of that idiot Ji Man. The Ji family is related to the Shaodian family. If my aunt doesn't agree, how can my uncle have the nerve to send troops? This time my aunt comes forward on her own, it won't be easy."
To be honest, Ding Kui was very afraid of Shaodianrong, who was the most powerful opponent he had ever faced. Even Zhubi who was behind Lu Chao was not as good as Shaodianrong.
The power of a person can never be compared with that of a country.
"My queen has a noble status and will not say harsh words to her face. You have to be careful about the people around her. It will take time to find out who her confidants are."
As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, Fei Ze continued: "The ones we know for now are the Le family, the Gong family and the Zhan family. My subordinates are trying to contact the spy agency Ji Guotang. They must have more information."
"Well, wait a minute." Ding Kui quickly wrote on the white paper and handed it to Fei Ze, "This is the contact information of the Jiguotang and Jiangzhou Branch of the Spy Intelligence Department. Please arrange for someone you trust to come and run for a while."
Maybe it will help."
"You also know this?" Fei Ze was impressed, "I have asked Lao Qian for advice, but even he doesn't know such detailed information."
"Hey, it's a coincidence, top secret, don't pry." Ding Kui didn't dare to reveal the trip, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Liu Yu said at the right time: "Inquiring about information will take time, and you also need to prepare for going to Lu State. My subordinates suggest conquering Shibu County."
"Who will be the main attacker?" Ding Kui had no objection. This matter was within his plan.
"We can dispatch the Eighth Army to fight quickly." Liu Yu's idea was relatively simple, he wanted to free up more time for Ding Kui.
"Always send them to take the credit. Other legions will definitely have objections." Ding Kui hesitated.
He wanted to send the Red Army to protect the country. There were a lot of new equipment and new tactics that needed to be tested, which were more suitable for this kind of low-intensity war.
"My lord, my wife is about to give birth. We need to prepare for going to our country. It would be better to end the battle as soon as possible." Fei Ze was also advising beside him.
"Do I still need to take action to regain a small Shibu County? It doesn't require my attention to let the Nezhi troops go. My son was born without so many taboos. We have to fight what needs to be fought. There is a war all over the country. It's okay.
." Ding Kui didn't take Shibu County seriously at all.
The process of conquering Tunchang County, Chongxi County and Huashan County was too easy. Ding Kui underestimated the local troops in other counties, which almost led to catastrophe.
