kingly way

Chapter 170 Chapter 170

In the back garden of the palace, Liu Haoyi and Ying Luo sat face to face at the stone table;

"Today, if you invite Mr. Ying to the back garden, we don't have to be bound by etiquette anymore." Liu Haoyi said;

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ying Luo said with a slight smile;
"Zhao Qingyu and Jin Yuanhong have been fighting for more than a year, and both sides have consumed a lot of strength." Liu Haoyi said;

"The scouts sent by Weichen reported that Jin Yuanhong has always been in the upper hand, and Zhao Qingyu was retreating steadily. I thought that Beiwan Kingdom would be defeated soon." Ying Luo said with a slight smile;
"After the reform of the system, our Nanyue country has developed very fast. It can be said that the country is rich and the people are strong, and the army is strong and the horse is strong. These achievements are all thanks to Mr. Win." Liu Haoyi said with a smile;
"For the matter of reform, the humble minister is only proposing, and the credit lies with the king. If the king is not wise, has no vision, and does not accept wise words, even the best good words will disappear like the wind blowing in the ear."

Yingluo said;

"Haha... Mr. Ying is praising others on the surface, but he is also praising himself secretly." Liu Haoyi suddenly laughed and said;

"What does your majesty say?"

"Your Excellency just meant that what you remonstrated is a virtuous speech, and your lord is a virtuous minister." Liu Haoyi said;

"Your Majesty is wise and virtuous. I will have to think twice before speaking. I must be strict with my words. Otherwise, I will let the Majesty find loopholes again."

Ying Luo laughed after speaking.

Liu Haoyi also laughed and gave a thumbs up;

"According to the development of this situation, we can send troops to eliminate Zhao Qingyu, so that we can take the opportunity to expand our territory." Liu Haoyi said with a smile;

"Your Majesty, although the two tigers have been fighting for so long, although they are a little tired, they are still not tired, let alone injured; we can't send troops now, and when the two tigers die and the other is injured, the wounded will also be exhausted. It’s time for us to act.”

"Well, but our current strength will no longer be defeated by any country, and we can even rival Xu Country." Liu Haoyi said.

"With our current strength, we can indeed rival any country, but if we send troops now, we will not only expose our strength prematurely, but also consume our own strength because of the war; this will not only cause Jin Yuanhong and Zhao Qingyu to Be on guard against us; several other countries will be on guard against us, which is very detrimental to our future development, and even other countries will jointly attack us in fear of our ambition to unify Kyushu.” Ying Luo said;
"Well, Mr. Ying's analysis makes sense." Liu Haoyi nodded and said;

"Now we don't want to send troops for the time being. Let me lobby Xing Guo, Dan Guo and other countries to make friends with us. This will not only strengthen our strength, but also conceal our real strength. When Xu Kingdom is destroyed Beiwan Kingdom, if we go to Beiwan Kingdom, we will send troops to attack us, we will take this opportunity to unite with Xing Kingdom, Dan Kingdom, and Ning Kingdom, and when Xu Kingdom is destroyed, why should other countries not be afraid to submit to us," Ying Luo said;
"Master Ying, who do you want to convince Xing Guo, Tan Guo and other countries?" Liu Haoyi asked;
"I will go there on my own and persuade them with my three-inch tongue; as long as I analyze the current situation with them, they will consider their own safety and cooperate with us, because they must know the truth of death, if we perish, they will I can't escape the fate of being destroyed by Xu Country." Ying Luo said;
"Ah."

Liu Haoyi looked at Yingluo and nodded;

"Currently, Beiwan Kingdom is the only one that can rival Xu Country in Kyushu. If Xu Country defeats Beiwan Kingdom, Jin Yuanhong's territory will expand and its strength will increase. What will Xu Country do next?" Ying Luo ask;

"Of course, we will continue to annex our countries such as Nanyue, Dan, and Xing. This Jin Yuanhong must not be reconciled to splitting the Kyushu that he unified by himself, so once Xu Kingdom defeats Beiwan, he will continue to annex us. Several countries such as Nanyue Kingdom, Dan Kingdom, and Xing Kingdom have once again fulfilled his wish to unify Kyushu." Liu Haoyi said;

"Xing Country and Dan Country are aware of this situation. They will definitely unite with us in order to protect themselves. Before Xu Country has defeated Beiwan Country, we must let them understand the trend of the situation. Your Majesty, think about it, since Xing Guo and Tan Guo don't know our strength, cooperation can jointly defend against the enemy, eliminate dangers, protect themselves, and be profitable, can they agree to cooperate with us? At least they can protect themselves?" Ying Luo said;
"The way of the king is endless, some methods are not our will, but this is only a king's world, and sometimes we have to sell ourselves for this king." Liu Haoyi said;

"The king dedicated himself to the king's world. It is for the unification of the world and the stability and happiness of the people. There is a saying in the art of war that "soldiers never tire of deceit". It is a way to confuse the enemy to defeat the enemy. As long as other countries such as Xing State and Dan State join us to defeat Xu State, then we will have to deal with Xing State, Dan State and other countries, then it will be easy." Ying Luo said with a slight smile;

"Master Ying is right, so act according to your plan. Haha..."

Ying Luo's words made Liu Haoyi extremely happy, and he couldn't help laughing out loud;

"Your Majesty, there is no need to delay. I will go back and make preparations. I will go to other countries such as Xing Country and Dan Country tomorrow."

Ying Luo stood up and saluted Liu Haoyi;

"Okay, Mr. Ying will go out in person. If you don't have to worry about this matter, there will be Mr. Lao Ying." Liu Haoyi said with a smile.

……

After bidding farewell to Liu Haoyi, Ying Luo went straight back to his mansion. He looked up at the plaque hanging at the door. The plaque had been changed from "Shao Sima's Mansion" to "Great Sima's Mansion". He showed a wry smile: A king can't help himself, let alone an official in the court. Is the middle way more correct than the side way?Power struggles are exhausting.

"Big brother, you're back. You've been away for almost a day. Nuo'er is so worried about you."

Zhong Xinnuo was sitting on the steps facing the gate, when she saw Ying Luo entering the gate of Da Sima Mansion, she immediately stood up and ran towards Ying Luo;
"Are you careful to lose the big brother? Haha..." Ying Luo said with a weary smile;

"Nuo'er knows that big brother won't throw it away, but Nuo'er heard from Sister Tao that it's dangerous outside, and Nuo'er is just worried that big brother will be in danger."

Zhong Xinnuo said naively;
"Haha... your big brother is so smart and good at martial arts, what danger do you think your big brother can't resolve?" Ying Luo said with a smile.

"Yes, Nuo'er knew that big brother is so smart and good at martial arts, nothing will happen, but Nuo'er is still very worried."

Zhong Xinnuo smiled happily and nodded.

"Big brother will go out for a while in a few days, and Nuo Er has to take care of herself." Ying Luo said;

"Where is Big Brother going? Why don't you bring Xin Nuo with you?" Zhong Xin Nuo said;

"Big brother is going to a farther place, which is more dangerous, so you can't take Nuoer there."

"Big brother, you can take Nuoer with you."

Xin Nuo's eyes were full of tears, and he looked at Ying Luo with begging eyes. Xin Nuo already felt that he couldn't do without Ying Luo, not to mention a period of time, even a day felt very long.

"It's a long way there. If big brother takes Nuo'er with him, it's more dangerous to find another Nuo'er. Listen to big brother, big brother will be back soon." Ying Luo said;
"The big brother must come soon." Xin Nuo nodded.
