Chapter 542 What the Fuck
Lu Songli invited Guo Chong and Xue Xu, who arrived soon.
Qin Heng was at the Qin Mansion and arrived at about the same time.
Even her father came over strolling over. His purpose was to see what Xie Zhan was up to.
Lu Songli didn't beat around the bush with them and directly presented the problem.
If the lord has doubts, as his subordinate, I naturally have to worry about him.
Guo Chong looked at Xue Xu and asked, "Shall we go through this matter from beginning to end?"
Xue Xu nodded, "Okay."
Guo Chong: "It all started when the imperial court decided to send troops to attack Xie Zhan. Xie Zhan and Prince Cheng joined forces to fight against the imperial army."
Xue Xu: "Song Mo sent Dong Guowei to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the South, but they were unable to capture it. This incident has greatly damaged the reputation of the Emperor and the court."
Guo Chong, "To break the deadlock, Song Mo decided to cede the two states, recruit King Cheng and King Jin, and unite with the two kings to encircle and suppress Xie Zhan."
Lu Desheng looked at this and then that, well, it’s good that my daughter has help.
Guo Chong and Xue Xu continued speaking.
"Song Mo has invested a lot of money in this move to deal with Xie Zhan. And Xie Zhan definitely doesn't want to sit there and wait for death."
"So, he sent Jiang Boya to Pingzhou to form an alliance with Pingzhou."
"Everything just clicked."
"It makes perfect logical sense."
Lu Songli, who had been listening, remained silent.
This is going so smoothly. This is what everyone present thought.
Lu Songli didn't say anything, and the people present were also thinking seriously.
I don't see anything wrong with it.
Lu Songli has been thinking, Song Mo is very determined to break the deadlock, where is Xie Zhan's chance of survival?
"I don't believe Xie Zhan will place his only hope of life on Pingzhou. In other words, on me." Lu Songli said bluntly.
Just like Pingzhou was in a desperate situation, she would never regard Xie Zhan as the only hope of survival.
No one spoke. Xue Xu looked around and said pertinently, "But Jiang Boya has come to Pingzhou. Given that Xie Zhan cannot come in person, Jiang Boya's weight is the most important, and the conditions he offered are so sincere."
Sincerity, Lu Songli chewed on these four words. Sincerity, when broken down, means truth and sincerity.
The strongest feeling that Jiang Boya and Xie Zhan's trip to Pingzhou gave her was that of reality.
Xie Zhan hoped that he believed him.
The opposite of truth is falsehood. What does Xie Zhan want to hide?
Lu Songli came to the map and thought.
If the Three Songs united, Xie Zhan would not be their match if he fought alone. He needed allies and support.
If the South and Pingzhou join forces, they can probably fight against the Three Songs, but Xie Zhan obviously knows that the alliance with Pingzhou is not safe, so he will not regard the alliance with Pingzhou as the only chance of survival.
Of course, Xie Zhan has another choice, which is to cooperate with the Xianbei.
But she had said before that among loyalty, filial piety, propriety, righteousness and trustworthiness, the broadest and most fundamental concept of loyalty is loyalty to one's own nation and country, that is, loyalty to one's own Han identity.
If Xie Zhan cooperated with the Xianbei, he would be betraying his own nation and his own roots.
This cooperation basically means that we are no longer qualified to compete for the Central Plains.
The people of the thirteen states in the world will not submit to such a person.
Lu Songli felt that if Xie Zhan really had no choice, he would do this for the sake of his family and his own hegemony.
But at this moment, was Xie Zhan really at the end of his rope? Was he really at the end of his rope?
Lu Songli pointed out her doubts.
Lu Desheng said, "If we, Pingzhou, refuse to form an alliance with them, won't Xie Zhan be doomed?"
Lu Songli shook his head, "Not necessarily."
Others also looked at the map and discussed it in a few words.
"Now, besides our Pingzhou, there is also the powerful Xianbei. Could it be that Xie Zhan wants to cooperate with the Xianbei?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
"But besides us Pingzhou and Xianbei, where else can he get support?"
"No, Xie Zhan can still cooperate with someone." Lu Songli's eyes were fixed on a certain part of the map.
Lu Desheng was curious, "Who is it?"
"Song Mo."
Upon hearing this, the people present hissed and gasped, surprised by their governor's bold guess.
Guo Chong paused holding the tea cup when he heard this.
"Can these two still cooperate?" Lu Desheng screamed.
Qin Sheng was also a little incoherent, "No, is Song Mo so magnanimous?" After all, Xie Zhan was also one of the people who wanted to rebel against him.
"Don't these two people have any moral integrity?" Qin Heng murmured.
Xue Xu thought about this possibility for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
Lu Songli picked up a pen and explained to them.
"In fact, Xie Zhan and Song Mo's core needs overlap. Song Mo needs to break the deadlock and eliminate as many forces within the country as possible."
It can be said that Prince Jin, Prince Cheng, Xie Zhan, and Lu Songli were all his enemies, and he wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Lu Songli made four circles. "He wants to wipe out all four opposing forces at once, but that's impossible. The imperial court lacks sufficient military strength and doesn't have the ability to defeat ten opponents with one force. As a result, no one can be eliminated. The current deadlock is the result."
"Song Mo's only way to resolve the deadlock is to form alliances and then defeat them one by one." Guo Chong quickly followed her train of thought.
"Yes, Song Mo can unite with King Cheng and King Jin, and then attack Nandi and Pingzhou; he can also unite with Nandi and even Pingzhou to deal with King Jin and King Cheng." Lu Songli drew two lines. The first line connected King Cheng and King Jin, and the second line connected Pingzhou and Nandi.
"Anyway, for Song Mo, it doesn't make much difference whether he eliminates King Cheng and King Jin, or Xie Zhan and Pingzhou. Under this premise, Xie Zhan has room to maneuver."
Xie Zhan wanted to live, so Song Mo wouldn't mind pushing Prince Cheng, Prince Jin, and even Lu Songli out. Moreover, he would be more inclined to the latter plan because the latter had a greater chance of success.
The entire outer study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, mainly because Lu Songli's speculation was too bold and the angle was too incredible.
But this is entirely possible and very likely.
Lu Desheng suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Then the question is, does Jiang Boya know what Xie Zhan is secretly planning?"
Lu Desheng didn't need anyone present to answer him. He continued to talk to himself, "If he didn't know, Xie Zhan was too cautious. He didn't even reveal this plan to his most trusted advisor. If he knew, Jiang Boya would have made it seem like the real thing, making so many promises."
Lu Songli replied nonchalantly, "These can all be promised if it is to achieve a higher goal. After all, there are some things that you have to deceive yourself before you can deceive others."
"To be honest, isn't it a bit redundant for Xie Zhan to send Jiang Boya to Pingzhou to seek an alliance? This game obviously has little to do with Pingzhou." Lu Desheng felt that Xie Zhan's move was a bit superfluous.
Lu Songli laughed and said, "How can it be unrelated? Either Pingzhou is also his backup option, or he is trying to confuse us so that we don't interfere and ruin his plans."
"The most important thing is to confuse Prince Jin and Prince Cheng, right?" Guo Chong said with a smile.
"Oh my god, Xie Zhan is actually taking advantage of us in Pingzhou? Isn't he too greedy?"
"No, this is not greed. He has considered everything very carefully. He was right to take the variable of Pingzhou into account." Lu Songli still approved of Xie Zhan's plan.
