Wu Guo's entire plan was originally carried out in an orderly and unstable manner. But under Wu Zhe's strong interference, it began to gradually deviate from the track.
The previously planned plan of Dugushang and Prince Xuan to join forces to attack and completely wipe out King Jin Guoqin's forces can no longer be carried out. Therefore, King Xuanwu issued an order to arrange for Dugushang and Baolao to join forces with the Xuanwu female generals to guard Jindu and keep the state of Jin in chaos.
As long as the king of Jin is not dead, he is the nominal supreme leader of the state of Jin. No matter how stupid he is, in this era of advocating loyalty to the emperor, there will still be many diehards following him.
The boy in black, Dugu Mo, stood in front of the desk in a rare way, and began to ponder over the map. Several of Dugu Mo's subordinates kept sending the latest intelligence.
Old Leopard didn't dare to disturb his train of thought, and stood quietly aside.
The main territory of the Central Plains, if described by geography, Qi State is in the position of Wei State, Jin State is in the position of Shu State, and Wu State is in the position of Soochow.
But the strengths and weaknesses of the three are completely different. The state of Jin in the northwest has the largest territory but has been weak for a long time; the state of Wu is second in terms of territory and has the strongest comprehensive strength; the state of Qi is weaker, but the commanders of the king of Qi and the suzerain are very powerful.
Twenty years ago, Wu State had the opportunity to annex Jin State in one fell swoop, and then slow down Qi State. However, the masters of the Sword Sect headed by the Suzerain forcibly broke through the camp of the Wu Kingdom, almost beheading the Xuanwu King. Fortunately, the three sages of Wu Kingdom tried their best to support the suzerain, and King Xuanwu survived after being injured.
But the superiority of the master does not mean the advantage on the battlefield. The state of Jin was annexed by the state of Wu, and the state of Wu became even bigger.
Combining various circumstances, Wu Guo has been honest for twenty years based on the top combat power of the Sect Master of the Sword Fighting Sect.
Although Wu State's military strength can attack Qi State and Jin State separately in two lines, but if both sides counterattack vigorously, it is not enough to deal with it, so Wu State is afraid of the Jin-Qi Alliance.
This is a delicate balance of national power.
In recent years, the suzerain's strength has encountered a bottleneck. The Three Sages seem to be making progress again, so Wu Guo is ready to move.
Now, due to the comeback of You Guoshi, the state of Jin continues to suffer civil strife. This most directly affects the Jinqi Alliance.
Now that Wu State has messed up Jin State, it will be very difficult for Qi State to fight against Wu State on its own. At this time, with the help of Zong Zhilian and Princess He Rong to suppress the rebellion, it is hoped that the situation of Wu Guo's military power being involved in the northwest and southeast will be re-established. It is roughly equivalent to Zhuge Liang's strategy of uniting Soochow to defeat Cao Cao.
The boy in black, Dugu Mo. He perfectly inherited King Xuanwu's talent in military strategy, looking at the map and constantly integrating the situation of various countries in his mind.
Combined with a lot of spies, an hour later, Dugu Mo put his finger on a fiefdom on the map, and said, "Bo Guanghou!"
Old Leopard asked puzzledly, "Bo Guanghou? Seems to be a prince with a different surname in the Jin Kingdom?"
"That's right." The corner of Dugu Mo's mouth curved slightly, and he ordered his subordinates standing beside him, "Concentrate most of the exploration power on the territory of Marquis Bo Guang."
"Is it because the head of the Bo channel of the left state of Jin fled here? But it seems that Bo Guanghou's army has also been defeated by us."
Dugu Mo shook his head: "Because he needs Marquis Bo Guang."
"He? Who?"
"Zong Zhilian, the concubine son of King Jin who wants to become King Jin!"
*******************
"Let Bo Guanghou send beautiful women to us?" Shizi and Zong Zhilian were puzzled.
Wu Zhe laughed loudly: "Yes, we don't give it away, but teach him to give it to us instead!"
Shizi and Zongzhi thought about it for a while.
"Ah! That's right! Let them send us beauties!" Shizi suddenly came to his senses. Clapping and laughing, he pointed at Zong Zhilian: "To be exact, let him give you a beauty."
Wu Zhe nodded with a smile: "It seems that you understand."
"Ah? What are you talking about?" Zong Zhilian was taken aback. Although his brain has never been slow, he really didn't figure it out because he was a fan of the authorities.
Wu Zhe was not in a hurry to explain, but said to the prince: "Pay attention to your ladylike image, this charming smile is not bad, but it should be the orchid finger that sticks out."
Shizi blushed slightly, muttered and retorted: "It's not like you haven't noticed it yourself."
Of course I don't pay attention. Wu Zhe naturally heard it clearly. But don't take it to heart. We are men, just a little bit impure. She turned to Zong Zhilian and said, "Congratulations. If all goes well, there will be a beautiful woman in her arms."
"Beauty throwing herself into arms?" Zong Zhi thought about it for a while: "Could it be that you mean..."
He finally thought of it under the prompt.
The prince said: "If you want to say something right, Marquis Su Qing of Boguang has several daughters. In a few days, his most beloved youngest daughter, Su Meier, is just sixteen years old and can be betrothed to others."
Wu Zhe saw this content from the information of the Tianbo Mansion, so he was able to put forward such an idea.
The surname of the Jin royal family is Zong, and Su Qing is a Hou with a different surname. Naturally, intermarriage is possible.
Zong Zhi thought about it for a while: "That Xiao Meier is outstanding in appearance, and she is also a lady of every family. I have been in contact with it, and I don't have any grudges against me."
"That's easy to say." The son said: "The day after tomorrow will happen to be Bo Guanghou's fiftieth birthday. Although he can't hold a big banquet in the current state of chaos, it is estimated that various forces will gather here. So Bo Guanghou"
Wu Zhe slapped the table: "At this banquet, we will make a high-profile appearance!"
Zong Zhi thought about it for a while and really needed this, but he felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and there was a look of hesitation on his face.
"Are you still not happy?"
Zong Zhi thought about it, and snapped his fan together: "I don't want to be forced to arrange a marriage."
"What's wrong? Bo Guanghou is a hereditary Lord, and his daughter must be a beautiful woman."
"A beauty is a beauty, but I always think it's weird to be arranged by someone who is not my parents." Zong Zhilian pointed at Wu Zhe and Shizi with a wry smile: "Especially being arranged by you two beauties, why does it feel so strange?" Where is the son?"
Both Wu Zhe and Shizi laughed.
Looking at the two, Zong Zhilian felt as if two flowers were blooming in front of his eyes. One is clear and beautiful, the other is glamorous, each has a charming style, which makes any man dazzled.
"The two beauties both smiled at me, but none of them belonged to me." Zong Zhilian said sourly.
But he didn't know that strictly speaking, the two in front of him were not [beauties] in the true sense...
"Let Gong Xiaolu marry you as a side concubine, haha." Wu Zhe started joking again.
"Huh?" Zong Zhilian suddenly thought of something: "Are you going to that banquet?"
"This..." Shizi hesitated for a moment.
"When the state of Jin attends banquets, nobles always bring their favorite women." Zong Zhilian said with a smile, "Can you accompany me as a maid? I guarantee that no one will recognize you."
