Li Ran smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup in his hand, took a sip, and said:

"Haha, this fine scented tea must be cooked at a certain temperature. If the time is short, it will inevitably leave a trace of greenness. And if you want this scented tea to be mature and fragrant, it must be roasted over a slow fire first, and then

Attack it with fierce fire."

"In fact, Gongshan Buxuan had a disobedient heart as early as when Yang Hu was regent. Since Yang Hu's fall, this man has been occupying Fei Yi to respect himself, and his thoughts are self-evident. What's more, now

He has just fallen into Liyi, and with such a fierce fire attack, this person must have lost his temper."

When Confucius heard this, he couldn't help but nodded:

"What my benefactor said is absolutely true, so today Jisunsi came to see me specifically, saying that because of the lessons learned from Liyi, Gongshan Buxiu is more cautious, and Jisunsi has no way of making a move!"

At this moment, Fan Li came to report that Zilu, the prime minister of the Ji family, had also arrived.

As soon as Zilu came in, he didn't have time to rest, so he opened his mouth and said:

"I have met my respected master and sir. Zilu came today to represent the family master. The family master now wants to fall into Feiyi, but despite being ordered to do so several times, there is nothing he can do about Gongshan Buxiang! The family master is also the same now.

I don’t have any ideas, so I specially ordered my disciples to come here to ask for advice!”

Li Ran lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised the tea cup and took a sip, and said:

"I heard that my uncle and grandson are also in Feiyi now?! Maybe... we can do something about this person!"

"In the past, when Yang Hu was around, this man flattered Yang Hu. Later, Yang Hu wanted to replace Shusun Zhou's enemy with Shusun Noi. After Yang Hu lost power, Shusun Noi was like a lost dog, running around here and there, but

He has been unwilling to leave the country for a long time, but has been defecting back and forth between the main towns of the Sanhuan family!"

"It can be seen that deep down in his heart, he is probably still thinking about the position of sect leader!"

When Confucius heard what Li Ran said, he was a little puzzled:

"The intention of the benefactor... Could it be that the key to Fei Yi's fall is this uncle and grandson?"

Unexpectedly, Li Ran shook his head again and said:

"No! The key to Fei Yi is still to protect the enemy! However, if the chess piece Shusun Yue can be put to good use, it will be of great benefit to us!"

At this time, Ziluqi said:

"Oh? Could it be that this uncle, grandson, has some kind of relationship with sir?"

When Li Ran heard this, he sneered and shook his head to deny it.

Seeing this, Zilu couldn't help scratching his head:

"In that case, why did Mr. Nai say that he was Mr. Nai's chess piece?"

Li Ran glanced at the chessboard next to him. Two jars of black and white stones were polished until they were crystal clear.

I saw each of them take out one, and said:

"When playing chess, the most important thing is to gain the advantage. Now that we have gained the advantage, we can take advantage of the situation, lure the opponent's position, and achieve our goals in this way!"

"Now, the national policy of the Three Capitals is based on this chess situation, and Shusun Yue is like the opponent's loser! If we can take advantage of the situation and lure him to fall into what we expected, then the opportunity to break the game is right in front of us.

Got it!"

Although what Confucius taught was the six arts, namely etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and numeracy, there was no chess among them.

But Confucius once said: "It is difficult to have a full day without any intention! Is there no one who plays games? It is still a virtuous thing to do so."

Therefore, many of his disciples were good at playing chess. Although Zilu was not proficient in it, he understood the truth behind it, so he understood it all at once:

"Good advice, sir! But...how should I use this uncle and grandson?"

Li Ran sneered again and said confidently:

"Now, since Gongshan Buhuang and Gong Ruomiu are both unwilling to give out Fei Yi, and are more cautious than Gong Ruomiu. And Gongshan Buhuang cannot give out, then Fei Yi has no way to start. In this case,

Why don't you give them a loophole and let them take the initiative! Come and attack Qufu!"

Even though Confucius was very smart, it was difficult for him to understand the key point behind Li Ran's words.

"Let them attack Qufu instead? Isn't this a bit unrealistic?"

Li Ran placed the chess pieces on the chessboard and said:

"That's why we have to make good use of Shusun Zhuo's chess piece! Since Shusun Zhuo is still having such wishful thinking, and Gongshan Buxuan is only willing to take Fei Yi to respect himself, such a move is obviously incompatible with Shusun Zhuo's thoughts.

It’s the opposite!”

"Shusun Zhe definitely hopes to do something big. His purpose is to seize chestnuts from the fire and replace Shusun Zhouqiu as the head of the family in the chaos. And if he only stays in Fei Yi, how can he succeed?

Woolen cloth?"

"So, if Shusun Zuo feels that this goal is within reach, he will naturally encourage Gongshan Buxuan to take the risk together! If Gongshan Buxuan really takes the bait, as long as he comes out

Fei Yi, that’s a direct victory!”

After hearing this, Confucius suddenly realized and said:

"My benefactor's plan is very clever! My benefactor's wisdom is really admirable. Qiu had racked his brains before and couldn't think of this!"

But Fan Li spoke again at this time:

"It's just... that it's easier said than done to achieve this. Even though there is a chess piece like Shusun Zhuang, Gongshan Buxuan is also a cautious person after all. If you want to seduce him... unless you are...

In his view, this move is indeed an opportunity, otherwise it may never be possible!"

"Secondly, what is the name of letting them attack Qufu? For anyone, this is a serious crime of treason. Even Gongshan Buxiang, I am afraid it cannot bear it?!"

But Li Ran already knew this well:

"Both of these two questions of the young uncle are, in the final analysis, how to deceive Gongshan Buxi and make him come to Qufu!"

"Actually, Li has already thought about this matter, and may be able to lure him to come in the name of 'Qingjun's Side'!"

When Zilu heard this, he couldn't help but look sideways and said:

"Qingjun side?"

Li Ran said:

"Well, the national policy of destroying the three capitals was issued by the Marquis of Lu himself. This matter has been known to the world. However, if the matter is reversed and said to be due to the pressure of Sanhuan from the monarch and the government, it is a last resort.

For what?"

"It's just because the king listened to the words of many ministers and officials, and was affected by the chaos in the city, and asked the three emperors to issue this edict to destroy the main city. If Gongshan Buxiang and Shusun

After hearing this, how can they still sit still?!"

Confucius couldn't help but think about it carefully and said:

"This reason... is not bad!

But how to get them to take action? With Gongshan Buxi's idea, even if he has the name of being a master, after all, there is a huge disparity in strength, I'm afraid Gongshan Buxi will not act rashly, right?"

"Only taking Fei Yi to show self-respect is the best choice for Gongshan Buxuan now. No matter how ignorant he is, he cannot fail to think of this!"

At this time, Li Ran couldn't help but nodded.

Fan Li's problem is indeed more difficult.

After all, no matter how good the plan is and how thoughtful it is, in the end someone will have to execute it.

And how to implement it and how to select this wise and courageous candidate is indeed a big problem.

Li Ran couldn't help but stood up, clasping his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth, thinking for a long time, and finally said:

"If it really doesn't work... why don't I go to Feiyi in person to tell you!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and Fan Li said quickly:

"Sir, no, absolutely no! This move... is too risky! Fei Yi is now a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, how can you, sir, take such a risk?"

Chapter 667_The Responsibilities of Ji’s Family Head

At this time, Li Ran pretended to sigh:

"Hey...it's just that there is no one more suitable than me right now. If I don't go, who else can take on this important task?"

Hearing this, Confucius also shook his head:

"My benefactor is still not allowed. If my benefactor goes there in person, wouldn't it be bad if he gets trapped in Feiyi or even gets killed as a result?!"

Li Ran walked back and forth a few more steps, glanced at Zi Lu, and then pretended to sigh:

"But... there is no one else who is more suitable right now."

Confucius couldn't help but sigh:

"Hey...just because Qiu's current status is special, it's not appropriate to go there and talk about it..."

At this time, Confucius followed Li Ran's gaze and landed on Zilu.

Confucius suddenly understood.

So, he immediately faced Zi Lu and said:

"Zhong Yuan, Fei Yi is the main town of the Ji family. You are now the head of the Ji family. In fact... you can go and give it a try!"
