Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 365: Of course you have to take advantage of it!
I saw the Liao envoy leaving.

Gao Mei asked at this time: "Did you really plant a spy in the Liao camp? So who is the spy? You can't tell the Liao people, you can always tell me!"

Looking at Gao Mei's curious face, Zhao Mu chuckled and said: "He is stupid, are you stupid too? I just lied to him, just to use his mouth to make the Liao camp suspicious of each other and make them confused themselves. , self-distrust, and ultimately self-destruction. As for which unlucky guy is falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and ends up unjustly dead, that’s none of my business.”

"Ah?" Gao Mei said in shock, "I saw that what you said was so true, and I thought it was true. I didn't expect that your scheming was so deep. It was really hard to guard against. I thought what you said was true just now. ”

Zhao Mu sat back on the Taishi chair and continued: "Hey, do you think I like this? It's much harder to lie than to tell the truth. You have to carefully examine every part of the lie to see if there are any flaws. . It’s far less satisfying than telling the truth.”

Gao Mei smiled at this time and said: "Did you lie to Princess Zhaohua? Did you lie to us?"

Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "Of course not. Because you are not worth my while."

Gao Mei couldn't help but snorted when he heard this. But he was relieved immediately. Zhao Mu was right. They really had nothing worth deceiving.

Gao Mei said at this time: "That's right! Do you just trust me so much?"

"Ah?" Zhao Mu didn't know why and showed a puzzled expression to Gao Mei.

When Gao Mei heard Zhao Mu's ridicule, she folded her hands and frowned and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Zhao Mu didn't care about Gao Mei's name and attitude, and then said: "It's very simple. Because although what I just said seems feasible, it is actually nonsense. To accomplish this, a very harsh person is needed. Conditions. That is, the four countries of Liao, Xixia, Tubo, and Dali can really share the same hatred. But obviously, they cannot. "

Gao Mei explained: "It is the Dali Kingdom's combat strategy that you just mentioned. I have carefully considered it. Whether it is the acquisition of land or the preservation of the Song Dynasty, it is the best strategy for our country, Dali, to move forward and retreat freely. . Are you not afraid? I told my father and the others about your plan. And then they actually followed it?"

But this time, Gao Mei was not angry. She asked, "Oh? How could I be so simple and naive? I asked the prince for advice!"

Although Zhao Mu used good words, Gao Mei also understood that Zhao Mu's words were irony and he was mocking her for being stupid.

If Duan Yu could have the power and means of Zhao Mu, then Dali would not be able to compete with the Liao and Song Dynasties. But at least it can truly be respected by the south, and then be surrendered by the surrounding barbarians. Become a true "Little Southern Dynasty".

Gao Mei now hopes that Zhao Mu is really his husband and the future emperor of Dali.

Zhao Mu looked at her and smiled: "I just laughed at you, Princess, for being too naive and simple. Hahahaha."

Zhao Mu looked at Gao Mei with a mocking look on his face, and finally he couldn't help laughing.

"This is just like when the Six Kingdoms attacked Qin. Although the six-nation coalition seemed to be mighty and unstoppable, in fact, each had their own agenda, and they all wanted to let others do more and gain more benefits for themselves. This kind of alliance looks very complicated. It’s scary, but in fact it’s just a mob. Others will most likely sit on the sidelines and watch the success or failure for their own benefit.”

"Secondly, there is no such opportunity for other countries. The first is the Liao Kingdom. The battle in Xiongzhou of the Liao Kingdom severely damaged my vitality. He is willing to put down his attitude and talk to other countries because he no longer has I have the power to face the Song Dynasty alone. Moreover, I have caused a lot of trouble for the Liao Kingdom from both inside and outside. They are too busy to take care of themselves. I believe that in the near future, they will be in a hurry to purge themselves and suppress the rebellion. What will he do? Attack my country, Song Dynasty?"

"As for the Xixia Kingdom, although all the people are soldiers. However, Xixia and the Song Dynasty are not at the same numerical level in terms of national strength. I can destroy him with just a wave of my hand. And Tubo, although it looks very big, but the chieftains are not like each other. It's all monolithic. What His Majesty Zanpu can actually control is that one-third of an acre, not to mention that the lamas of the Tibetan esoteric sects may not obey him." "As for Dali, I don't need to say more. Either they have too much time to take care of themselves, or they have no cohesion, or they are just like a mantis. If Dali is an enemy of the Song Dynasty, does Dali have the strength? My father-in-law, Your Majesty, and Lord Gao are all capable people who understand current affairs. They naturally have self-awareness. ”

Gao Mei nodded and said: "I see. But you are really sinister. You can kill someone with a knife just by saying a few words, which has caused instability within the Liao Kingdom."

Zhao Mu chuckled and said: "The princess has given you a reward. Since ancient times, we have fought against each other with troops and fought against enemies. But taking action is the lowest method. And I advocated war against Liao before, because I also wanted to seize a larger share through negotiation. In the pre-Qin period, although there were hundreds of schools of thought, there were no Confucianism and Mohism, but I prefer the theory of politicians who are only interested in profit. This is the case for Su Qin and Zhang Yi. The ability to stir the wind like a tongue and turn the hands to make clouds and rain is enough to surpass a million soldiers."

Gao Mei smiled and said: "I think our Prince Zhennan is not inferior to them. You also used a few words to make the Liao people kill each other."

Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "No! My little trick is just an appetizer. The big drama is yet to come."

Gao Mei nodded silently.

Then Gao Mei looked at the box on the ground and said, "What should I do with these gifts?"

Zhao Mu said: "What else can we do? Since people are so sincere in sending gifts, why should we refuse to accept them? Anyway, if you don't accept things for free, you will not accept them for free. When I was walking in the world, an old man He once taught me something.”

Gao Mei asked: "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Mu stood up and said with a smile: "Haha, that's 'Don't take advantage of it, you bastard!'"

After saying that, Zhao Mu swaggered towards his room with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Zhao Mu's back, Gao Mei smiled heartily.

Because Azi came back, Zhao Mu moved out of the "young lady's boudoir" in the back garden. Although Ruan Xingzhu planned to take Ah Zi to live outside for a few days, it was not easy for Zhao Mu to always occupy his sister-in-law's room. So Zhao Mu proposed to move to another guest room to rest.

Fortunately, the Zhennan Palace is big enough. Even if Zhao Mu sleeps in one room a day, he won't bring the same thing for two or three months.

After Zhao Mu moved out of the back garden, he was placed in the west wing.

However, Zhao Mu is not unfamiliar with this place, because the previous owner of this room was Duan Yu.

Since Duan Zhengchun and his wife moved to the East Palace, Duan Yu moved to the quiet room of the prince and princess after they got married. This place is also vacant.

But when Zhao Mu opened the door, a little girl with lively eyes was sitting here.
