Chapter 542 Where is Morality?

Lu Songli invited Guo Chong and Xue Xu to arrive soon.

And Qin Heng was in Qin Mansion and arrived at about the same time.

Even her father came over for a stroll. His purpose was to see what kind of medicine Xie Zhan was selling in his gourd.

Lu Songli didn't talk in circles with them and directly raised the issue.

The master has doubts, and as a subordinate, he naturally has to worry about him.

Guo Chong looked at Xue Xu, "Let's go through this matter from beginning to end?"

Xue Xu nodded, "Okay."

Guo Chong: "It started when the imperial court decided to send troops to attack Xie Zhan. Xie Zhan and King Cheng joined forces to fight against the imperial army."

Xue Xu: "Song Mo sent Dong Guowei to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the south, but they could not capture it for a long time. This incident greatly hurt the face of the emperor and the court."

Guo Chong, "In order to break the deadlock, Song Mo decided to cede two states, recruit King Ancheng and King Jin, and unite the two kings to encircle and suppress Xie Zhan."

Lu Desheng looked at this and then that. Well, it's good that my daughter has help here.

Guo Chong and Xue Xu continued to talk.

"With this move, Song Mo spent a lot of money to get rid of Xie Zhan. And Xie Zhan definitely doesn't want to sit back and wait for death."

"So, he asked Jiang Boya to come to Pingzhou to form an alliance with Pingzhou."

"Everything fell into place."

"It makes perfect sense logically."

Lu Songli, who had been listening, remained silent.

So smooth. This was the thought of everyone present.

Lu Songli said nothing, and everyone present was also thinking seriously.

Didn't see anything wrong with it.

Lu Songli has been thinking that Song Mo is very determined to break the situation. Where is Xie Zhan's chance of survival?

"I don't believe that Xie Zhan would put his only hope for life in Pingzhou, in other words, on me." Lu Songli said bluntly.

Just like Pingzhou was in a desperate situation, she would never regard Xie Zhan as her only chance of survival.

Everyone was silent. Xue Xu looked around and said pertinently, "However, Jiang Boya has come to Pingzhou. Under the premise that Xie Zhan cannot come in person, Jiang Boya's weight is the most important. The conditions given are as follows Full of sincerity.”

Sincerity, Lu Songli chewed on these four words, sincerity, when broken down, it means truth and sincerity.

Jiang Boya's visit to Pingzhou with Zhan Zhan and his party gave her the strongest feeling of reality.

Xie Zhan hoped that he believed him.

And truth corresponds to falsehood. What is Xie Zhan trying to hide?

Lu Songli came to the map and thought.

The Three Song Dynasties unite. If Xie Zhan fights alone, he is not the opponent of the Three Song Dynasties. He needs allies and support.

If Nandi and Pingzhou join forces, they can compete with the Three Song Dynasties, but Xie Zhan obviously knows that Pingzhou's alliance is not safe, so he will not regard an alliance with Pingzhou as his only chance of survival.

Of course, Xie Zhan has another option, which is to choose to cooperate with Xianbei.

But she said before that in loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness, the broadest and most fundamental concept of loyalty is to be loyal to one's own nation and country, that is, to be loyal to one's identity as a Han Chinese.

If Xie Zhan cooperates with Xianbei, he will betray his own nation and his roots.

This cooperation basically disqualifies them from competing for the Central Plains.

The people of the thirteen states in the world will not surrender to such a person.

Lu Songli felt that if Xie Zhan really had no choice, he would do this for the sake of his family and his hegemony.

But is Xie Zhan really at a dead end at this time? Are we really at the end of our rope?

Lu Songli pointed out her doubts.

Lu Desheng said, "If we, Pingzhou, refuse to form an alliance with it, wouldn't Xie Zhan be at a dead end?"

Lu Songli shook his head, "Not necessarily."

Others also looked at the map, and they discussed it in a few words.

"Now besides us in Pingzhou, there is also a big force like Xianbei. Could it be that Xie Zhan wants to cooperate with Xianbei?"

"Probably not?"

"But apart from us, Pingzhou and Xianbei, where else can he draw strength?"

"No, Xie Zhan can still cooperate with one person." Lu Songli's eyes fell on somewhere on the map with piercing eyes.

Lu Desheng was curious, "Who is it?"

"Song Mo."

When the people present heard this, they hissed and took a breath, surprised by their governor's bold guess.

When Guo Chong heard this, his hand holding the tea paused.

"Can the two of them cooperate?" Lu Desheng yelled strangely.

Qin Sheng was also a little incoherent, "No, is Song Mo so generous?" After all, Xie Zhan was also one of the people who wanted to rebel against him.

"Are these two people without moral integrity?" Qin Heng murmured.

Xue Xu thought about this possibility for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

Lu Songli picked up the pen and explained to them.

"Actually, the core needs of Xie Zhan and Song Mo overlap. Song Mo needs to break the deadlock and eliminate as many forces within the country as possible."

It can be said that Jin Wang Cheng, Wang Xie Zhan and she, Lu Songli, are his enemies, both of whom he can't wait to get rid of.

Lu Songli circled four circles, "He wants to wipe out all the forces that oppose him from all four sides at once, but that is impossible. The imperial court does not have enough troops and cannot defeat ten guilds with one force. The result depends on which side It cannot be eliminated. The current impasse is the result.”

"Song Mo's only way to solve the deadlock is to attack them one by one, and then defeat them one by one." Guo Chong quickly followed her train of thought.

"Yes, Song Mo can unite with King Cheng and King Jin, and then attack Nandi and Pingzhou; he can also unite with Nandi and even Pingzhou to deal with King Jin and King Cheng." Lu Songli drew two lines, the first line It connects King Cheng and King Jin, and the second line connects Pingzhou and Nandi.

"Anyway, for Song Mo, there is not much difference between either annihilating King Cheng Jin or annihilating Xie Zhan and Pingzhou. Under this premise, Xie Zhan has room for maneuver."

If Xie Zhan wants to live, Song Mo won't mind if he pushes Prince Cheng, Prince Jin and even her, Lu Songli, out. And he will be more inclined to the latter plan because the latter is more likely to succeed.

The entire outer study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, mainly because Lu Songli's speculation was too bold and the angle was too incredible.

But this is completely possible, and the possibility is very high.

Lu Desheng suddenly patted his thigh and exclaimed, "Then the question is, does Jiang Boya know Xie Zhan's secret plan?"

Lu Desheng didn't need anyone present to answer him. He continued talking to himself, "If you didn't know, Xie Zhan was too careful. He didn't even reveal this plan to his most trusted adviser. If he knew, Jiang Boya made it look like it was real and made so many promises. "

Lu Songli replied nonchalantly, "These are all allowed if you want to achieve a higher goal. After all, you have to deceive yourself about some things before you can deceive others."

"To be honest, isn't it a bit unnecessary for Xie Zhan to send Jiang Boya to Pingzhou to seek an alliance? In this round, it obviously has little to do with Pingzhou." Lu Desheng felt that Xie Zhan's move was a bit superfluous.

Lu Songli smiled and said, "How come it doesn't matter? Either our Pingzhou is also his alternative, or it's just to confuse us and stop us from interfering in his affairs."

"The most important thing is to confuse King Jin and King Cheng, right?" Guo Chong said with a smile.

"Oh my god, Xie Zhan actually wants to take advantage of our Pingzhou? Isn't he too greedy?"

"No, it's not greed. He thought it through very carefully. He was right to include all the variables in Pingzhou." Lu Songli still recognized Xie Zhan's plan.
