Although Shen Tang also has plans in this regard, but——
Gu Chi's question was too straightforward.
People are so straightforward, so she has to be honest too.
Then he said sincerely: "It's natural."
Whether it's for yourself or for these hundreds of people.
Thinking of this, her eyes darkened slightly.
Her status as a prince is too restrictive, and she needs a stable territory if she wants to grow up. Without a stable territory, it means that she has no room for her to grow up. Because people have two legs, they can carry the family's wealth and run around, but if they are planted, Crops are not good.
It takes time for crops to mature from planting to maturity.
It's not like Shen Tang has never thought about occupying the mountain and becoming the king.
But this kind of behavior is too risky and can only be regarded as a last resort.
Because Shen Tang is not the nominal owner of the land under her feet! If her name is not justified, others are qualified to attack her in the name of "removing harm for the people" and "suppressing bandits". Even if she relies on her own strength, she is not afraid of harassment from the outside world. , come and fight one by one!
but--
Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against thieves?
The latter can always find an opportunity to strike.
Even if he succeeds even once out of ten times, Shen Tang may not have the chance to turn around—the capital is too small to bear the trouble!
Thinking further, if she wants to recruit refugees for her own use in the future and expand her own scale, she must have a piece of land to accommodate people, right? Otherwise, why would a bunch of refugees come here? Follow her from one end to the other?
She has no reputation and no territory, and the refugees don't care about her.
Without territory, all plans are empty talk.
Shen Tang asked Gu Chi for advice: "Mr. Gu, does he have any good ideas?"
Gu Chi really has it.
He smiled and took a sip of green plum wine, which was profound.
"I dare not say it is a good strategy, but it is indeed a good opportunity! This opportunity is right in front of us, we just have to see whether we can seize it!"
Shen Tang frowned: "A good opportunity? Is it still close at hand?"
After thinking for a moment, she understood where the "good opportunity" that Gu Chi was referring to was... However, she didn't know whether to say it or not. This "good opportunity" was a hot potato... She would only die faster, right?
Shen Tang shook his head: "Mr. Gu thinks too highly of me."
Gu Chi encouraged Gong Huo: "Wealth can be found in danger."
"You are right to say that, but once the 'risk' is far greater than the 'wealth', then the gains outweigh the losses..." Shen Tang paused, as if he was afraid that Gu Chi would misunderstand, and added, "I have the strength. , Naturally, even the generals facing each other in front of the two armies are not afraid. Even if the skills are not as good as others, I still have Yuanliang and the others, and it is possible to retreat with all my body... However, just because I can do it, it does not mean that others can too."
At least not with more than a hundred people under his command.
Sending them to the battlefield is no different from sending them to meet the King of Hell.
"How did Mr. Shen know that he couldn't succeed?"
Shen Tang shook his head: "This is not a question of success... To say the least, even if he succeeds by chance, with Zheng Qiao's temperament and style, will he really fulfill his promise?"
Even if it is a sealed edict, he can turn his back on it and deny it.
"Mr. Shen is too cautious." Gu Chi squinted his eyes contentedly, with a bit of careless laziness in his expression, "Zheng Qiao issued that edict just because he wanted to fight with the snipe and the clam. He is a good fisherman. It is a profit, but it exposes his biggest weakness. It is this weakness that makes Zheng Qiao dare not break his promise easily. No matter how reluctant he is, he has to hold his nose and admit it..."
Gu Chi changed into a more comfortable position.
"Mr. Shen might as well take a guess."
Hearing this, Shen Tang looked at Qi Shan, who was listening quietly with his eyes lowered.
Qi Shan did not give any hints.
Shen Tang: "..."
She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then tried to ask: "Zheng Qiao's biggest weakness - is he a strong foreigner and a weak leader? He has the national seal of the Geng Kingdom in his hand, and the rebels headed by King She only took advantage of the 'surprise' .If the two parties face off, Zheng Qiao has a greater chance of winning."
but--
Zheng Qiao did not send troops to kill the King of Pig and others. Not only did he not do so, he also issued an edict, calling on people with lofty ideals to crusade against the rebels. Regardless of their origins, who could make achievements in the crusade, be promoted to a high position, or crack the earth Confess the king...
It seems to be a very normal edict.
But there are too many tricks in it, and the most interesting point is that "regardless of one's origins and past experience". Translation means - Zheng Qiao is generous, as long as he can make meritorious deeds, even if the person who made meritorious deeds has raised an army to rebel, he can still write it off!
Only talk about merit, not fault!
As he spoke, Shen Tang's thoughts became clearer and smoother.
The analysis said: "If Zheng Qiao is capable of annihilating King Shi's rebels, why would he make such a promise as 'crack the soil and seal the king'?"
This is not how you draw a pie.
"...If you say you are incapable, it doesn't seem to make sense..."
The advantages of the Great Seal are no joke.
"Unless - Zheng Qiao is temporarily unable to send troops for some reason, so he can only use external forces to contain the power of the Pig King. He is afraid that the bait is not big enough and other fish will not take the bait, so he throws out a temptation that no one can resist? Listen. The appearance seems to be delaying time..."
Surprise flashed across Gu Chi's eyes.
"Mr. Shen is smart, and his guess is that he is close to ten."
Shen Tang asked: "So, you know the reason?"
Gu Chi: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess. Why did King Sheng and the others so quickly instigate rebellion against the confidants who had been loyal to Zheng Qiao? Because they had a handle on it. Once Zheng Qiao knew about it, he would be dead. They had no other choice but to rebel. Way out!"
This shows how unpopular Zheng Qiao is.
His ruthless behavior makes not only his enemies fear him, but also the people around him, and fear cannot make his subordinates truly give up. Zheng Qiao makes his subordinates fearful, but at the same time, it also fuels their ambitions. As long as there is a chance, they will betray without hesitation!
Just to get out of Zheng Qiao’s control!
Gu Chi said calmly: "The example of King Pig has also inspired others - taking advantage of the opportunity to rebel against Zheng Qiao is the safest way to save his life! In this case, Zheng Qiao certainly would not dare to send troops to clear out King Pig's rebellion at this time. Army, because once he delegates military power, the first thing those rebel generals will do is to kill him!"
on the contrary--
Inciting various forces to fight against King Pig, no matter which side wins, or even loses both sides, Zheng Qiao will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Wishful thinking crackled loudly.
but--
Will things in the world go as planned?
It is precisely because of this weakness that Zheng Qiao will not break his promise easily. Gu Chi hopes that Shen Tang can seize this opportunity and finally get a piece of land, which can be regarded as a foothold. As long as the roots are successfully established, it will be considered a success. take the first step!
Things will unfold in the future.
But Shen Tang's worry is -
Gong Shuwu and Chu Yao are not here, and she only has more than a hundred people under her command. What should she do to make a contribution and gain the first territory in her life? This question is very important!
More than a hundred people were thrown into the battlefield, and there was no splash.
Shen Tang's thoughts did not shy away from Gu Chi.
Gu Chi said with a smile: "More than a hundred people can't do it. Except for Gong Shuwu, Shen Lang doesn't have any brave warriors who can do it, but Shen Lang is different. As long as he can stand in front of the two armies, To become famous...isn’t credit easy to come by?”
Shen Tang: "...",
Too careless!
She was the one who worked on the co-author from beginning to end???
Others are employees who work to support the boss... But here, she is the "boss" who works hard to support the "employees"?
Alas, the world is so different.
Just as I was feeling resentful, a soldier outside the tent sent a message.
It turned out that Gu Ren was going to attend the conference. He was worried that Shen Tang would not be able to find his way or would be looked down upon and neglected, so he called her out.
Shen Tang: "..."
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Overestimate yourself...
Did my cousin move into a new house? I went over to help, but he was called up at five or six o'clock... Hey, I didn't go to bed until after three o'clock in the morning... I was in a trance all day, sleepy and tired, and went home after finishing my work in the afternoon. , I took supplements for two hours, but the more I supplemented, the more tired I became. When I woke up, I felt that my body was empty...
I couldn't move anymore, I was feeling flustered, and I was going to take a day off and go to bed early.
