"Okay, that's good."

The arrival of Prime Minister Gongsun Qi brought such good news to everyone, and a smile appeared on Wei Feng's face.

But hearing his father's joyful laughter in his ears, Wei Shen, as the prince, couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"Father, my sons and ministers have doubts in their hearts. I hope that my father, the Prime Minister, can help my sons and ministers clear their doubts."

After Wei Shen finished speaking, Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi looked at each other, and then Wei Feng nodded slightly.

"But there's no harm in talking."

"If I remember correctly, my father once mentioned to me that our most powerful enemy of the Wei Dynasty is the vast Chu State in the south."

"In this case, we, the Wei Dynasty, should be preparing for war and concentrating all our efforts to launch a war against Chu. How can we invest our strength again in Bashu and Bashu in the southwest?"

After Wei Feng listened to Wei Shen's question, he turned his head and looked at Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi next to him again.

"Prime Minister, how about you answer the prince's confusion?"

"Old minister, I respectfully obey the king's orders."

After bowing, Gongsun Qi found an open space not far away.

With the help of stones in the open space and a random branch, Gongsun Qi, Wei Feng, and Wei Shen, the father and son, calculated the general trend of the world.

"Your Majesty, Prince, please see, our great Wei Dynasty is now in the north, with South Korea, Lu, Song, and Yan as allies, and Qin and Zhao as vassals."

"Although there is still the Qi State in the east that is an enemy of our Wei Dynasty, and the newly emerged Zhongshan State is also ready to make a move, but there is a huge gap between them and our Wei Dynasty, and there will be no major dangers in a short period of time."

"As the prince said just now, our great enemy of Wei is not in the north, but in the south, in the Chu State, which has been ambitious since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty."

Using open space as the world and stones as the princes, Gongsun Qi casually created a situation in which the north and the south faced each other, with Wei and Chu vying for supremacy.

After explaining this general trend, Gongsun Qi placed two smaller stones on both sides of the big stone representing the Chu Kingdom in the south.

"This is the State of Qi." Gongsun Qi said in a deep voice as the tree branch pointed to the stone in the east.

Seeing this, Wei Shen turned his attention to another stone, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"So, this is the Kingdom of Shu?"

"It's exactly what the prince said."

"In order to fight against our great Wei, Chu first made a secret alliance with Qin and Qi, and then reached an alliance with Zhao, Qi and Shu."

"Now Qin and Zhao have been forced by the military front of our great Wei and have chosen to surrender to our great Wei. The territories of Qi and Chu are also blocked by our allies Song and Yue."

Following Gongsun Qi's analysis, the light in Wei Shen's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"In this way, in the world today, the only prince from the Chu Kingdom who can draw in assistance is the Shu Kingdom."

"Exactly!"

Wei Feng, who had never spoken a word, shouted loudly and stood up from the ground.

"The state of Chu is like an eagle spreading its wings, and the states of Qin, Qi, and Shu are like the breeze that helps it fly high."

"All we, the Wei Dynasty, have to do is sweep away these breezes one by one, and then break the eagle's spread wings, and Chu will become the caged bird of our Wei Dynasty."

The sharpness in his eyes was clear, and Wei Feng's body once again glowed with the majesty of a king.

"If you want to conquer the world, you must conquer the powerful Chu; if you want to conquer the powerful Chu, you must conquer Bashu first."

What Wei Feng said at this moment was the foreign strategy that Wei would implement next after several battles and the surrounding countries of Qin, Zhao and Qi were no longer of concern.

In other words, it means to wipe out Chu State's help one by one, and then combine the power of South Korea, Yue State, Song State, Lu State and other princes to deal heavy losses to Chu State, a powerful enemy.

But now the prince of Shu, Empress Du, is about to arrive, which gives Wei a rare starting point.

Now that the general trend is clear, it is time to discuss how to take specific measures.

Wei Feng turned his attention to Gongsun Qi and once again returned the home court to his hands.

"Prime Minister, how do you get Bashu to take over? Everything needs to be planned by Prime Minister."

"I will obey the king's orders."

After Gongsun Qi responded, he waved the branch in his hand again, and the open space in front of him moved from Tianxia to Bashu in the southwest.

"Your Majesty, Prince, it seems that there are only two countries in Bashu right now, but actually there are five forces competing against each other."

"The Kingdom of Ba, the Crown Prince and Marquis of Ju in the Kingdom of Shu, the Kingdom of Chu that is close to Bashu, and our great Wei who occupies the land in Guanzhong."

"Among these five forces, Ba has always been on good terms with Wei, and Chu will not take action unless it is critical."

"Therefore, I believe that the key to the Bashu Revolution lies in the Kingdom of Shu, and in the increasingly deepening gap between the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Ju."

After Gongsun Qi said this, the doubts in the heart of the prince Wei Shen were completely dissipated.

He finally understood why Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi had smiles on their faces after receiving the news that Prince Du of Shu was about to arrive in Anyi.

The arrival of the prince of Shu seemed ordinary, but it gave Wei a stepping stone, a stepping stone that completely opened the door of Shu.

As his thoughts flowed, Wei Shen thought of the content of the news he had just heard, and then asked softly: "Prime Minister, just now the Prime Minister said that the prince of Shu was attacked on Chencang Road. Could it be that Marquis Ju was responsible?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Gongsun Qi's face was full of determination, "The Kingdom of Shu had good relations with the Kingdom of Chu before. After several battles and seeing the military strength of the Wei Dynasty, they began to want to make peace with me."

"According to the information from the spy lurking in the palace of the King of Shu, the prince of Shu came here this time on the order of the King of Shu to exchange the land of Hanzhong for the alliance with the Wei Dynasty."

"In the land of Hanzhong, the King of Shu is quite generous."

Wei Feng spoke up again at this time: "It's just that Hanzhong has been entrusted to his younger brother Juhou by the King of Shu. Offering the land of Hanzhong has clearly shaken the foundation of Juhou's strength. How can Juhou swallow his anger?"

"I believe that the attack is just an action of Marquis Ju. I am afraid that Marquis Ju's envoy will arrive in Anyi soon."

"What the king (father) said is absolutely true."

Wei Feng looked at the prince Wei Shen standing in front of him, "Prince, I wonder how you think we, the great Wei, should handle ourselves in the confrontation between the prince of Shu and the Marquis of Ju?"

"Reporting to my father, I just mentioned the Kingdom of Chu. I will answer my father with an old incident from the Kingdom of Chu."

"In the past, the state of Xi and the state of Cai had a bad relationship because of Mrs. Xi. The Marquis of Xi asked for help from the state of Chu, and led the Chu army to destroy the state of Cai."

"I don't want Marquis Cai to resent Xihou, so he praised Mrs. Xi's beauty in front of the King of Chu, so the King of Chu raised troops to destroy Xihou."

"Mrs. Xi came to Chu and resented the Marquis of Cai, so she repeatedly persuaded the King of Chu to destroy Cai again."

When Wei Shen told the story to this point, a smile appeared on Wei Feng's face.

Today's Prince and Marquis of Shu are just like Xi and Cai in the past. As for Chu, which raised troops several times, it is the best role that Wei should play.

Now that Wei Shen had understood his intention, Wei Feng simply said loudly: "In this case, the affairs of Shu will be handled by the prince and the prime minister together. I will sit in the palace and listen to the good news of you two."

Faced with the words of Wei King Wei Feng, Crown Prince Wei Shen and Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi looked at each other, and a look of solemnity appeared in their eyes at the same time.

"Old ministers (son ministers) will obey the king's orders."
