All Hail Cousin Brother

Every time he saw it, he would inevitably make a few jokes: "It's still a **** of war, it's not that a woman can't lift her head from scolding, it's really time for your soldiers to see how cowardly you are."

Every time my father listened to it, he would take off his shoes and chase after him: "Stinky boy, what do you know, your mother is distressed and worried about me, she is so angry that she will be relieved if she scolds a few words. Oh no, brat, that's my woman, what's wrong with me asking her to scold her? I'm happy to let her scold me, I'm happy, I'm happy, what's the matter with you? No, tell me clearly, what kind of woman is not a woman? That's your mother, let me hear that you are disrespectful to your mother, I can't beat you to death..."

When the little girl got angry, he didn't dare to reply, and he didn't even dare to say anything to explain. Zhou Linghuai lowered his eyes. Is this considered a feng shui rotation?

Yu Youyao had a seizure, and the person gradually calmed down, but his mood was still a little unstable, and his voice was also crying: "Cousin, why did you go to Shandong to suppress the rebellion?"

Looking at her red eyes, Zhou Linghuai felt a little distressed: "Although the situation in Shandong is complicated, as long as the clan alliance is disintegrated, Li Qiguang is not afraid."

Yu Youyao looked at his cousin for a moment: "If Li Qiguang can be established in Shandong, the major clans will get rid of the control of the imperial court, and they will also benefit. Their alliance is the trend of interests, I'm afraid it will not be easily disintegrated!"

Zhou Linghuai chuckled: "It's not difficult to say," he dipped his finger in water, and drew two "+" crossed lines on the chessboard, chuckling: "It can be broken if it is combined vertically and horizontally!"

After staring at the chessboard for a long time, Yu Youyao suddenly paused: "I understand, "combining the vertical", that is, "combining the weak to attack the strong", so Li Qiguang united the clan to fight against the court, "lianheng", that is, "one thing is strong to attack one strong" Weak people." Speaking of this, she suddenly widened her eyes: "In addition to Li Qiguang and the major clan forces, there are many court officials in Shandong."

Zhou Linghuai nodded with a smile, listening to her continue to analyze.

Yu Youyao became more and more calm, and his thinking became clearer and clearer: "The clan, Li Qiguang, and court officials have formed a situation of checks and balances in Shandong. They implicated each other and colluded to balance the situation in Shandong. Now Li Qiguang has united the clan and rebelled against each other. , the most threatened are the court officials. Once Li Qiguang is established in Shandong, the first thing that will be affected is the interests of the court officials. In the worst case, and their little lives, they will definitely not want to see Li Qiguang sitting in Shandong. My cousin's strategy is to secretly form an alliance with him."

"Not bad." Zhou Linghuai nodded.

Yu Youyao was a little puzzled: "Just, how can my cousin be sure that these imperial officials will cooperate with you? The situation in Shandong is complicated. They are officials in Shandong, and they will inevitably have connections with Li Qiguang and the clan. Endless, simply relying on Li Qiguang, can not only save a small life, but also benefit from it?"

It seems normal for these court officials to take refuge in Li Qiguang for the sake of their own lives.

"Look!" Zhou Linghuai took three pieces and placed them on the chessboard in a three-legged relationship (triangular relationship).

He stretched out his hand a little and pointed to the top sunspot: "This sunspot refers to Li Qiguang." Then, he pointed to the two white sons on the left and the right: "Representing officials, court officials and clans."

Yu Youyao looked carefully.

Then, Zhou Linghuai took the black chess at the top, leaving only two white chess pieces on the left and one on the right, one representing the court official and the other representing the clan: "Do you understand?"

Yu Youyao looked at the two white chess pieces on the chessboard, and suddenly realized: "Li Qiguang is very powerful, and in the three-legged relationship, he has the advantage, no matter whether it is a court official or a clan, he can't get around him, but if Li Qiguang is removed, There are only two forces left in Shandong, the clan and the court officials. Among these two forces, the court officials are on the left, and the clan is on the right, and the people are the people. Be the one who benefits the most.”

In other words, getting rid of Li Qiguang, the most beneficial is not the clan, but these court officials.

The bustling world is for profit, and the bustling world is for profit.

As long as they have enough interests, it is enough for them to take risks.

Zhou Linghuai smiled: "After Li Qiguang's death, in order to avoid the emergence of a second Li Qiguang, the imperial court will strengthen its rule over Shandong and weaken the power of the clan, and these court officials who helped the imperial court to pacify the chaos are indispensable, and they are ultimately rewarded. In this way, The court officials' control over Shandong will also be strengthened, and they have a good relationship, so who would refuse such a good thing?"

Yu Youyao took this seriously, and added: "Also, although Li Qiguang is from a clan, he has never been very friendly to the court. Even if the local officials join Li Qiguang, I am afraid they will not gain Li Qiguang's trust, and Li Qiguang may not be able to kill them. Therefore, relying on Li Qiguang is not the best choice. But working with my cousin is different, not only in the imperial court and in Shandong, but also in ensuring my own life.”

Cousin's "connection and horizontal" strategy seems simple.

In fact, it is heartbreaking.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "So, they have no choice, they will only cooperate with me and use it for me, and they have no turning back, each of them is determined to win and spare no effort, the most terrifying thing in the world, It's never a knife in your hand, but a knife in your heart."

The knife in the heart is invisible and invisible, killing people in the invisible.

Yu Youyao now really believes that his cousin said that he was sure to pacify the chaos, not just casually, but had already planned.

She even suspected that her cousin had anticipated this day early in the morning and had a layout in Shandong early in the morning.

After pondering for a while, Yu Youyao opened his mouth: "Shandong's large and small imperial officials combined, there are probably more than 100 people, and the people under their rule have also become a hidden force. Li Qiguang has not justly raised the flag of rebellion, naturally Don't dare to touch them easily, these court officials have served in Shandong for many years, and no one knows the situation in Shandong better than them, and the power of the clan, there is a saying that you can win a hundred battles by knowing yourself and your enemy."

If the Hengchao officials can be connected, the rebellion in Shandong will be solved in half.

Then there are 100,000 soldiers and horses led by my cousin, and they will win the game.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "They check and balance each other, collude with each other, and are constantly involved. The more they know, the more they can use."

Yu Youyao thought of a piece of history: "Zhang Yi implemented the strategy of connecting and horizontal in the Qin state, achieving the goal of annexing land to the outside world, enabling King Hui of Qin to "pull the land of three rivers in the east, join Bashu in the west, Shangjun in the north, and Hanzhong in the south", "Disperse the followers of the six countries (vertical, and make them serve Qin in the west." "

Lian Heng's strategy broke the alliance of the six countries, and made the Qin state in the west.

Cousin's strategy is to use the court officials to break the clan alliance, so that the court officials' cousins ​​are the main ones.
