Although Li Mu could not completely let go in the end, from another perspective, Shu Li at least persuaded Li Mu and caused some changes in his ideas.
So after finishing his work in Zhao State, Shuli began to go to Yan State.
When I was in Yibao at [Qianlongtang], I met Changfeng, the son of the leader of the [Murong Tribe] who came from outside the Yan Kingdom.
The Yan State was weak, but in its tradition of bullying foreigners, it still rarely suffered defeats.
Therefore, Shuli not only wanted to be satisfied with the Yan Kingdom, but also wanted to add a bonus on this basis, that is, the numerous Dongyi tribes outside the Yan Kingdom's walls.
So she needed to meet the young master of the tribe, and then use her usual tricks to trick him.
After arriving at Jicheng, Shuli estimated that time was almost up, so he sent Qinghe with a secret message to the west again and headed straight to Qin.
The secret message will be delivered to Ying Zheng, which means the official launch of the "White Tiger Project".
The green dragon belongs to wood, the white tiger belongs to gold, metal overcomes wood, and the white tiger overcomes green dragon.
It came into being in response to Lord Changping's "Blue Dragon Plan", and it also included all countries in the world and hundreds of schools of thought.
The first step of the entire "White Tiger Project" was called "Mission: Impossible" by Shu Li, which was considered a bad joke of Shu Li's.
Fan Yuqi, as the starting point for the first phase of the "Qinglong Plan", used his head to trigger the subsequent incident of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin.
Similarly, he is now being brainwashed by [Luowang] to instigate rebellion. No, he is not instigating rebellion, but he has been re-trained so that he fully realizes his own importance to the Qin Dynasty.
A big drama was about to take place, and for this reason, Shuli did not hesitate to involve his eldest father in the plot.
But it is not to harm her eldest father. On the contrary, she intends to give glory and victory to her eldest father with both hands.
Before the heavy snow seals the mountain, an army led by Fan Yuqi will unexpectedly go straight from Shangjun to Jingxing, and then go south from Jingjing to Handan.
If nothing unexpected happens, when Fan Yuqi captures the first city, a report will be sent to King Zhao's palace and to Li Mu in two forms at the same time.
If there are smart people in King Zhao's palace, they should know the purpose of Fan Yuqi's army.
Or when others still can't react, Guo Kai will point out the stakes.
Then, before the road connecting to Beidi was cut off, he issued an order for Li Mu to lead troops to stop this army.
Of course, if the people in King Zhao's palace are really hopelessly stupid and even ignore Guo Kaizhi's words.
Li Mu, who knew the affairs of the military strategists well, would definitely not sit still and wait for death, and would lead his army to intercept Fan Yuqi firmly outside the well.
Then, the same as the original direction, Fan Yuqi was defeated and did not dare to return home, so he fled all the way to Yan State, accidentally met the peasant hero Kui Tian Guang, and waited for the opportunity in Yan State.
As for why we still act in accordance with the historical trend even though we clearly understand the overall situation, it is because this is a crucial part of the first phase of the "Blue Dragon Plan".
At the same time, Fan Yuqi, who gained Tian Guang's trust and broke into the farmhouse, will serve as an internal agent and reveal more detailed information about the "Qinglong Project" to his side.
And he secretly arranged for his own people, that is, [Luo Sheng], to sneak into the farmhouse.
After all, one Situ Wanli is definitely not enough.
This is universal insurance.
One is to assist Situ Wanli in his daily operations, and the other is to monitor whether Situ Wanli may rebel.
Fan Yuqi's family will be properly managed, which is the only condition for Fan Yuqi to be willing to sacrifice his life.
After this battle, the people in Handan will once again realize Li Mu's ability, and thus begin to change their attitude towards Li Mu: from overt disgust to secret disgust.
At least, Guo Kai's participation in it will create a lot of waves.
On the one hand, Li Mu will build momentum and push him to a high position.
On the other hand, he continued to make slanderous remarks to slander Li Mu's character, making the future King of Zhao more suspicious and fearful.
It's not that Shu ideally wants to plot against her eldest father, but that her time is really running out and she doesn't want to see her eldest father make the same mistake again.
And this can be regarded as Shu Li's selfishness.
So after letting Qinghe go back to deliver the message, Shuli asked Zhao Yang (the person in charge of the Merchant Alliance in Yan State) to take him to the [Murong Tribe] outside the Yan State's Great Wall.
But how can I put it, the meeting and negotiation process between Shuli and Changfeng was a bit too simple, which made Shuli wonder if he had fallen into a trap.
Relying on the lost [Amethyst Dagger] of the tribe that was previously obtained in [Qianlong Hall], Changfeng easily became the leader of the tribe as expected, so now he can truly be called Murong Changfeng.
And when she heard Changfeng talk about becoming a leader just by relying on that dagger, Shuli's expression was like this:
(;)??!!
It's like you're making some kind of big joke.
This made Shuli even wonder if there was something else hidden. He couldn't tell because he couldn't have such a simple mind.
But later, after Zhao Yang's introduction, Shu Li realized that they were indeed not simple-minded, but just a little too naive in some aspects.
Take the jade trade that the [Business Alliance] has been conducting with their tribe for example. From their hands, the [Business Alliance] only needs one gold to purchase five or six pieces of high-quality jade.
And it is not impossible for [Business Alliance] to sell it for hundreds of gold, or even thousands of gold, after a little processing and resale.
The point is, the people in their tribe still feel that they are making a lot of money, so they take the money and run away, as if they are afraid that the people in the [Business Alliance] will regret it.
In fact, people from the [Business Alliance] discovered a gold mine outside the Great Wall, which was estimated to have considerable reserves. They were mining it secretly, and the people they hired were people from their tribe.
This time, after Shuli discussed with Changfeng and set out his own conditions and price, he was willing to let Changfeng bargain, but he nodded in agreement.
Shu Li once praised his heroic spirit, but later Shu Li found out that he was illiterate, or that his arithmetic range exceeded the limit of his ability.
OK, alright.
Shu Li finally understood why the control of knowledge was so strict in the past, and why the policy of obscuring the people worked so well.
But no matter what, even Shuli dug a lot of traps for Changfeng in the treaty and almost sold him his entire tribe to Shuli.
But they are still friends after all. Do friends care about these little details?
Honest Changfeng: Of course I don’t care.
So [Business Alliance] once again started its old profession: investment.
Shuli invested in the [Murong Tribe] and provided them with simple and slightly better weapons and armor, but to put it bluntly, they were all shabby equipment that some Central Plains countries despised.
Then let them gradually conquer the surrounding tribes. This is the condition they have already negotiated from the beginning.
What's additional this time is that Shu will provide them with enough food and personnel guidance to make it easier for them to win, but they need to fully obey the instructor's command.
This is to take away the control of the leader bit by bit.
Then there are the ownership of the spoils and the details of the division of prisoners, but these matters are all left to Zhao Yang to handle.
Things on the Yan side are now completed, and we can move south to join Qi.
