"My beloved concubine, since you have a brilliant plan, how can I not listen? Please tell me quickly."

Hearing Liu Yu's teasing words, Lu Zhi knew that he didn't believe her, but she still said seriously: "Your Majesty, although my strategy cannot compare with your Majesty and the military advisor, I am better than you in one aspect."

"Oh? Which point?"

Liu Yu looked unimpressed, but Lu Zhi said, "I understand men's self-esteem better than you do."

Hearing this, Liu Yu fell silent.

He himself was a man with a very strong self-esteem, so he understood that men's self-esteem could often lead to some stupid moves, so he was looking forward to seeing what good ideas Lu Zhi could come up with.

Although Lu Zhi was not the queen of Shu Han, she was able to marry twice, first becoming Liu Yu's wife and later becoming Liu Yu's concubine.

Liu Yu did not have a queen, but Lu Zhi was the only concubine in the harem, and there was no difference between her and the queen.

This is enough to prove that Lu Zhi has gained Liu Yu's trust and the two are not sleeping in the same bed with different dreams.

Liu Yu considered that Lu Zhi was also a first-class strategist and often gave him good ideas, so he would not hide any important matters from her. This also allowed Lu Zhi to know many secrets of Shu Han, including the future second joint expedition against the Southern Barbarians.

Precisely because she knew what Liu Yu wanted to do, Lu Zhi was able to stand from her own perspective and help Liu Yu come up with a strategy to break the impasse, but the prerequisite was that she had to have sufficient ability.

吕雉的政治属性很高，足足101（+3）点，比称帝后政治98（+14）的刘裕还高出3点，但她94（+1）点的智力属性，却并不如智力96（+12）的刘裕。

Although she was not as good as Liu Yu in strategy, as Liu Yu said, as a woman, she understood men better than Liu Yu and Su Qin, and understood better the importance men attached to dignity, so she was able to come up with a brilliant plan that even Su Qin could not think of.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that Chi You has a very strong sense of self-esteem and an arrogant personality, and people with this kind of personality often cannot tolerate the slightest grievance.

Ever since the marriage between Qin and Nan, with Princess Zhurong of the Nanman marrying Ying Hao and Princess Nongyu of the Daqin marrying Chi You, both the high-ranking officials and the common people of the Nanman have been full of praise for Daqin.

In the Battle of Southern Shu, our army was defeated on the surface, but the Southern Barbarians were not in an easy situation either. The reason why the Southern Barbarians recovered so quickly was because they obtained a large amount of supplies through maritime trade with the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, we can use this as an intervention point and order the spies lurking in the Nanman to spread the news that Chiyou was able to win the battle of Yinan mainly because of the merits of Daqin. "

When Liu Yu heard what Lu Zhi said, with his intelligence attribute as high as 96 points, he naturally understood the deep meaning of Lu Zhi's words.

To put it bluntly, Lu Zhi's plan was to stir up the dissatisfaction of the southern barbarians towards the Qin Dynasty by repeatedly mentioning and magnifying the Qin Dynasty's achievements. At the same time, she used and magnified Chi You's character flaws to stir up his rebellious psychology, thereby making Chi You make mistakes on his own initiative in order to prove himself.

Although Liu Yu understood this, he still hesitated and asked, "But will this really work?"

"Of course it won't work in the short term, but in the long term, it might work wonders."

Lu Zhi didn't dare to say that it would definitely work. After all, if she really made a promise and it didn't work, then the responsibility would be hers.

However, Liu Yu is now like a headless fly, and there is no better way, so it doesn't hurt to try Lu Zhi's strategy.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu looked at Lu Zhi with more admiration. He immediately rushed forward with a smile and said that he wanted to reason with her. Lu Zhi did not dislike his pleasure at all, but enjoyed it very much.

It is understandable that Lu Zhi would be convinced by Liu Yu, completely let go of the hatred for her husband's murder, and sincerely consider and plan for him. After all, women all admire the strong and are visual animals.

Now Liu Yu's charm attribute alone is as high as 102 (+8) points, and they have been in contact at a distance for such a long time, so it is natural that Lu Zhi would be completely conquered by him.

刘裕当前五维：统帅101（+2），武力105（+8），智力96（+12），政治98（+14），魅力102（+8）；
Although Liu Yu's basic five dimensions were not high, he finally caught up in attributes by sleeping on straw and tasting gall, ascending the throne to become emperor, and other hardships.

Now, three of Liu Yu's five dimensions have exceeded 95, and his intelligence and politics, which have not exceeded , are both above . Such five-dimensional values ​​are absolutely luxurious.

After daybreak, after Liu Yu got dressed with the help of Lu Zhi, he was ready to summon Su Qin and other advisers to perfect Lu Zhi's strategy, but he didn't expect that Su Qin had already arrived ahead of time.

"Your Majesty, I have thought of a plan that may solve the biggest obstacle for our Han Dynasty to conquer the South." Su Qin said excitedly.

Hearing this, Liu Yu was stunned. He had been troubled by the problem of the Southern Barbarians for a long time. He had just got a plan from Lu Zhi, but he didn't expect Su Qin to come up with another plan. It was really God's help.

"Military advisor, please tell us quickly." Liu Yu asked, trying to suppress his excitement.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what is the biggest obstacle for our Han Dynasty in destroying the Southern Barbarians?" Su Qin asked in return.

Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, in terms of military strategy, no one in my Han Dynasty is stronger than Chi You. In addition, his strength is enough to rank among the top five in the world. The Southern Barbarian King Chi You should be the first enemy of my Han Dynasty in destroying the South.

In addition to Chi You, the Nanman Prime Minister Shi Jieren is an outstanding strategist and a man of great foresight, and he is the second most powerful enemy."

In Liu Yu's view, Chi You, with the assistance of Shi Jieren, had almost no weaknesses.

It was precisely because of this that he and Su Qin had been planning to alienate the relationship between Chi You and Shi Jieren, but with little success.

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Su Qin smiled and shook his head, saying, "The biggest obstacle to our great Han Dynasty's conquest of the South is neither the Southern Barbarian King Chi You nor the Southern Barbarian Prime Minister Shi Renjie." Liu Yu became interested and asked curiously, "Oh? Who is that?"

"It's Ying Hao. As long as Ying Hao is here, no matter when the Han Dynasty destroys the South, no matter how right the timing is, the Qin Dynasty will do its best to provide all kinds of support to the Southern Barbarians.

The reason why the first expedition against the Southern Barbarians failed was not because Chi You and Shi Jie were so powerful, but because the Qin Dynasty provided resources to the Southern Barbarians behind the scenes.

Therefore, if we cannot cut off the support of the Qin Dynasty to the Nanman, even if we can win the second expedition to the south, it will only result in a fight with the Nanman that will hurt both sides, and the Qin Dynasty will benefit in the end."

Liu Yu fell silent for a moment, then spoke up: "Military Advisor is right. Chi You and Shi Jie are powerful, but our Han heroes are not weak either. Ying Hao is the biggest obstacle to our Han's annihilation of the South, but it is not easy to cut off the Qin's support for the Nanman."

In fact, Liu Yu, Su Qin and other advisers had already considered cutting off Qin's support for the Southern Barbarians.

Liu Yu's idea was to have the State of Chu send troops to capture Qingmei Port, thereby cutting off the sea supply line between the Qin State and the Nanman, but this idea was rejected by Su Qin.

Because even if the Chu State could break through Qingmei Port, if the Qin State was determined to support the Nanman, it could also build another port along the Annan coastline. The disadvantage was that the transportation route would be longer than before, but it would eventually be able to transport supplies to the Nanman.

Therefore, the only way to completely cut off Qin's support for the Southern Barbarians is to occupy the entire territory of Annan, but this is even more difficult.

Although the local forces in Annan are generally not strong, and can even be described as weak, the Annan region is mostly mountainous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although the Annan army could not defeat the Chu army, it could still barely hold on to this small piece of land.

In addition, the Annan countries have become vassal states of the Qin Dynasty, and have purchased Qin weapons through maritime trade to equip themselves, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

Shu Han had no navy, so if it wanted to completely occupy Annan, it could only leave it to Chu. However, it was impossible for Liu Xiu to go head-to-head with the major forces in Annan at all costs just to help Shu Han destroy the Southern Barbarians.

Because if the Chu army suffered heavy losses, the Qin army would still benefit, which would not be worth the loss.

Of course, the most important point is that once the State of Chu intends to occupy Annan, it will definitely be attacked by the full force of the Qin navy.

Although the Chu navy was the second best navy in the world, it was still unable to defeat the Qin navy, which was the best navy in the world.

Liu Yu and Su Qin had already said these things a long time ago. In short, it was too difficult and the cost outweighed the gains. Su Qin had previously rejected the plan to capture the entire Annan, so Liu Yu didn't quite understand why Su Qin brought up the old matter again.

"We can't just conquer the entire Annan just to conquer the Nanman..."

Before Liu Yu finished speaking, Su Qin asked, "Why not?"

"Our Han Dynasty has no access to the sea, so we can only rely on Chu to attack Annan. However, Annan is mountainous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we want to conquer the whole of Annan, even the Chu army will suffer heavy losses. Liu Xiu will never be willing to pay this price."

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, Su Qin asked again: "What if Liu Xiu is willing?"

"How is that possible? He's not stupid."

Liu Yu couldn't help but sneer, and then he retorted: "Even if Liu Xiu is willing, if the loss is too great, the Qin will still benefit, and the loss will outweigh the gain."

Su Qin continued to ask: "What if the loss is not too big and within the tolerance range?"

"There aren't so many ifs..."

But as soon as he said this, Liu Yu realized something and looked at Su Qin in shock. After all, Su Qin was not a man who spoke without purpose. Since he raised so many what-ifs, it meant that he had already thought of a way to overcome the problem.

If all the above mentioned problems can be overcome, and Chu can capture the coastal areas of Annan with minimal losses, completely cutting off all support from Qin to the Southern Barbarians, then the success rate of Shu Han in destroying the Southern Barbarians will be as high as 70%.

"Military advisor, stop beating around the bush. Just tell me what brilliant idea you have." Liu Yu asked impatiently.

"promise."

Su Qin responded sternly and explained, "The biggest obstacle for the Han Dynasty to destroy the Nanman is the Qin Dynasty. But if we want to cut off the Qin Dynasty's support for the Nanman, we must let Chu capture the entire territory of Annan, or at least the coastal areas of Annan. But the biggest obstacle to achieving this goal is the Qin Dynasty again."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu nodded in empathy. After all, as the overlord of the world, the Qin Dynasty had become a hurdle that Shu Han could not avoid. No matter what he wanted to do, he would be against the Qin Dynasty. It would be extremely difficult to do things and he would be restricted everywhere.

"There are two difficulties for Chu to capture Annan. One is that the losses will be huge, and the other is the Qin navy. But in fact, as long as the benefits are great enough, these two points will not become obstacles."

What Su Qin said was not wrong. Take Yingzhou as an example. Cao Wei was almost destroyed by the Qin army in the Central Plains, but they did not transfer a single soldier back from Yingzhou.

Why did Ying Qin, Cao Wei, Zhu Ming, and Zhao Song all insist on staying in Yingzhou?
Isn’t it because the benefits to Yingzhou are huge enough?

In other words, if Annan could also bring enough benefits, even if it was only half of Yingzhou, it would be enough for Liu Xiu to send troops to occupy it at all costs.

"But Annan is a barren land with no gold or silver. What benefits can it bring to Liu Xiu?"

Liu Yu was not talking nonsense. Instead, he came to this conclusion after analyzing the specific transaction list between Annan and Qin sent back by the secret agent Da Shuihe who was lurking inside Qin.
