A verbal debater, who is united among countries, can be said to be able to shake hands and make peace with hostile countries, or to say that a bloody alliance turns against each other, but only one person can defeat 100,000 soldiers.

At this moment, Chen Shubao didn't care whether there were such a verbal debater in his country. What he cared about was how Shi Wenqing would arrange it so that he could get along with everything.

Shi Wenqing had already done his homework, and at this time he was confident and presented a piece of paper with him. He asked the emperor to read it while listening to him.

Now that the Zhou Dynasty is in chaos, the Yuchi family represented by the powerful prime minister Yuchi Dun has no choice but to the Yuwen family represented by the Qi king Yuwen Liang, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Both will inevitably live to the death.

When Wei divided the East and West, and the East and West called each other a rebel traitor. After decades of attack, he had no time to look south. Now, the Zhou State may divide the East and West Zhou again, and the two sides confront each other, so he would definitely have no time to look south.

Therefore, from the overall perspective, the three-legged three-legged three-legged three-legged one is the best choice for Chen State.

But before that, we must ensure the safety of the three Wus in the Chen Kingdom, and the Jiangnan Ba, Xiang, Jiang and Lingbiao land occupied by the Yuwen family must also be brought back.

The key is how to get it.

Now send troops westward, which means that the two weak people in the three-legged tripod fight will only benefit the strong. Therefore, if Chen wants to recover lost territory, he must pay attention to strategies and use a slow knife to cut off his flesh.

Shi Wenqing "suggested" in Chenli. Chen State sent an envoy to Anzhou, Shannan Road to meet the Shangshu Ling Yu Wenming of the Shangshu of the Shannan Road of Zhou State. It is best to meet the true emperor of Zhou State and reiterate the "friendly friendship" between Zhou and Chen State.

In fact, this is just a cover. It doesn’t matter whether the emperor is in trouble is true or false. The key is that Chen State takes the initiative to send an envoy, which means reconciliation. Now Yuwen Liang and his son are busy dealing with the Yuchi family, because they are afraid that the Chen army will attack Jiangzhou, so of course they have a strong desire to negotiate peace.

But they will never agree to give up Jiangzhou and Lingbiao Guangzhou, so Chen Guo can try to bargain:

Let Chen Jun not move west for the time being? Yes, exchange food, for example, one million hu.

Let the Chen army attack Yuchi Youqi in the north? Yes, but we are afraid that you will attack Jiangzhou and Lingbian Guangzhou, otherwise you will not think about it!

Isn't Yuwen Liang and his son tempted to use one million hu of grain to prevent the Chen army from attacking Jiangzhou in order to free up the troops to deal with Yuchi Dun?

If Jiangzhou and Guangzhou, which need to be divided into troops, were given up to be replaced by Chen's army to attack Yuchi Youqi, and relieve the positive pressure faced by Yuwen's family, this deal is worthy of serious consideration by Yuwen Liang and his son?

If both requirements can be realized, then Chen State can recover Jiangzhou and Guangzhou without any bloodshed to ensure the most basic security.

If the other party makes excuses and is unwilling to give up Jiangzhou and Guangzhou and is only willing to provide food, that's not bad. At least it can solve the food problem of Chen State. In the future, depending on the situation, you will use both soft and hard methods to return to Jiangzhou and Guangzhou.

Yuwen's family wants to deal with the Yuchi family. According to common sense, unless a major breakthrough is made, they will not easily attack Chen State. Then in the short term, even if Chen State does not recover Jiangzhou and Guangzhou, Guangzhou will not face threats from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the southern Guangzhou sea.

With the food provided by the other party, we can stabilize the morale of the army and carry out the next action calmly. All this only requires sending envoys to discuss, and there is no need to send troops to the west to expedition.

At the same time, an envoy was sent to Jiangbei to meet with the marshal Yuchi Youqi, the marshal of the Jiangnan Road of Zhou State. The reason for meeting was to ask the other party to release the captured soldiers, officials and their families of Chen State.

Of course this is just a cover, but it is actually to take the initiative to give the other party a chance to make peace. Now that Zhou Guo Xiyang Wang Yuwen has occupied Xuanhu, Yuzhou, the flanks of Yuchi Youqi's army are unstable, and I think it's a bit of a headache.

If the ulcer of Xuanhu cannot be solved, Yuchi Youqi must consider leading troops to the north. Then stabilizing the Chen army in Jiangnan is an inevitable choice, and the other party must have a strong desire to discuss peace.

But he will definitely not agree to give up Huainan's request.

Therefore, Chen Guo can also try to bargain:

The two countries quit? Yes, let all the prisoners be returned. You "lent" one million hu of grain. Can you help Chen survive the winter?

Let the Chen army advance westward? Yes, but the military rations are not enough. You can "borrow" another million hu of grain, right?

Isn’t this deal worth considering for the Yuchi family to exchange for the cession of the Chen State?

Is this transaction not worth considering for the Yuchi family to consider if the Chen army advanced westward to attack the Yuwen family's flanks?

The amount of food depends on the negotiation results. What should Chen do after the food is obtained? What should he do? Zhou was shameless back then, so what happened to Chen Guo’s retaliation?

"Will I leave a bad reputation for such repeated actions in the future?" Chen Shubao began to get entangled. Shi Wenqing showed this and offered advice: "The official family can be responsible for the peace talks, but it will not be blamed for the official family afterwards."

"Well..."

Chen Shubao thought this was good, but it was not very good, and he was easily criticized for being mean and polite. Kong Fan immediately showed his "loyal minister" when he saw this: "Official! I am willing to preside over the peace talks, and I am willing to bear all the infamy!"

With such a loyal minister who planned and took the initiative to take responsibility and infamy, Chen Shubao felt that he was indeed a wise ruler, so Kong Fan and Shi Wenqing were loyal to serving the country.

Seeing that the emperor was a little moved, Shi Wenqing continued to say: "The official, the candidates to preside over the peace talks will be discussed in the future. The amount of food that the minister just said was just a suggestion. It depends on the results of the peace talks. In short, our country will be able to get no less than one million hu of food."

"With food, we can support the official army's Northern Expedition. As for the opportunity of the Northern Expedition, we have to make a long-term plan."

"If Yuwen Wen disrupts the chaos in Yuzhou and even Henan, then Yuchi Youqi will definitely return, but it is not the best time to attack when the opponent withdraws his troops."

"When the troops were withdrawn, Yuchi Youqi would inevitably arrange elite troops to cut off the rear, and rash pursuit would inevitably lead to setbacks. When his main force crossed the Huai River, the official army could vow to the Northern Expedition."

Speaking of this, Shi Wenqing took out another piece of Chen. After Chen Shubao unfolded it, he found that there was also a map inside.

"The official family, this is the Northern Expedition strategy formulated by Weichen and Confucius..."

The Northern Expedition strategy that Shi Wenqing came up with was actually written by Yu Zhongwen. Of course, Chen Shubao didn't know the reason. He became more moved by the pictures and texts that embodies the efforts of the two "mainstream pillars".

"Official family, please see here..."

Shi Wenqing accused him of guilt, then sat next to Chen Shubao and explained the specific content of the Northern Expedition strategy to him. Kong Fan was calm on the other side. After drinking a cup of tea, his mind flew elsewhere.

The King of Xiyang is indeed rich and powerful, with 10,000 taels of silver not bad at all, and is very good!

When Kong Fan thought of the 10,000 taels of silver that had just been put into the warehouse in his mansion, his heart beat faster. This was his "friend" and the "meaning" sent by his "friend" Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang.

The charge of money and how much money to do is Kong Fan's consistent code of conduct. Yuwen Wen is so willing to spend money, so of course he must do all his skills to promote Chen's "attack on the north and defend the west."
