From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 739

April 12, noon, sunny.

Everyone held another pre-war meeting, still led by Zhou Yuan, with Guan Lu, Deng Su, Xiong Kuohai, Wang Ang, and Ye Qingying participating, responsible for reporting the progress of various tasks and the difficulties encountered.

Zhou Yuan spoke first: "The armies of Tusi Adu, Tusi Wumeng, and An Fuman have assembled and may launch an attack at any time. Judging from the situation of the other side's camp, the time for the siege should be tomorrow morning, which is April 13."

"The imperial edict was delivered to An Fuman, and the inner guards of the inner court also successfully met with the two envoys of Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng. The seeds of suspicion have been planted, taking root and sprouting, and growing wildly."

"At this moment, it can be expected that both sides have reached the peak of mutual suspicion. Although they rely on unreliable common interests to maintain a joint relationship, this This kind of alliance relationship only needs an opportunity and a factual basis to collapse. "

Deng Su frowned and hesitated for a while before whispering: "Sir, I have a doubt about the mutual suspicion between Tusi Adu, Tusi Wumeng and An Fuman."

"We just planted a seed of suspicion, the means are not sophisticated, and the efforts we made are not much. Why do they continue to deepen this suspicion and reach the peak? "

Others couldn't help but look at Zhou Yuan. To be honest, they also had this doubt, but based on the facts, they inexplicably felt that the other party's mutual suspicion was reasonable.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "This is the so-called prisoner's dilemma, a typical example of non-zero-sum game. You can understand it this way. The relationship between An Fuman and the two chieftains has always been a breeding ground for suspicion, just like two prisoners locked in a sky prison. They cannot be convicted unless they confess, but at the same time, they are both afraid that the other party will confess in advance, which will make their own crimes more serious. Therefore, both sides suspect each other and eventually tend to confess in advance."

"It is essentially the optimal solution for personal interests, which is not in line with the optimal solution for team interests. Therefore, when individuals remain rational, the rationality of the team will collapse directly."

Here, he paused slightly, and then said, "In short, they are all afraid that the other party will turn against them, so they will look at any phenomenon from a suspicious perspective. Every Everything is the best nutrient for the seeds of doubt in their hearts, even if those things are ordinary. "

"It's not how much we have done, but that their relationship is like that."

"When the cost is too high to bear, everyone wants to get out of it, and everyone wants to avoid risks."

"So this is exactly what I want to talk about next."

Zhou Yuan tapped the table lightly and said, "Their siege time is likely to be tomorrow morning, and who will attack first?"

"They are afraid of attacking together. If they attack first, they feel that they will suffer a great loss, and they are even afraid that the other party has turned against them, resulting in them being attacked from both sides."

"No one is willing to compromise. In this case, the tenant farmers become victims."

"So I believe that tomorrow morning, they will definitely let the tenant farmers take the lead in attacking the city. Next is An Fuman, and finally the Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng. "

Ye Qingying couldn't help asking, "Why is An Fuman next?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Because of different needs, Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng don't have such big ambitions. Even if they don't attack Fushun Prefecture, these two Tusi can accept it, but An Fuman can't accept it. He must take Sichuan to protect himself and fight against the court."

"So An Fuman must be the first to compromise."

Guan Lu smiled and said, "On the basis of mutual suspicion, compromise means greater anxiety and greater suspicion."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "At this time, when the driving force of the facts comes, An Fuman's doubts will explode directly, shattering his reason."

Xiang Yong said, "It means that we want the tenants to defect first, and the tenants In a sense, it actually represents Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng? "

Zhou Yuan said softly: "The tenants were originally instigated by them. The whole world knows that the tenants are their people, and An Fuman is no exception."

"So General Xiang Yong, do you know how to fight this battle?"

Xiang Yong suppressed his excitement, swallowed his saliva, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, General Jie! Tomorrow, we will see the truth."

Zhou Yuan smiled, looked at Ye Qingying, and said: "Has the list of middle-level Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng been selected?"

Ye Qingying nodded and said: "Yes, it has been selected, and people have been sent to keep an eye on it. When the time comes, there will be Jurchen spies to cooperate with us, and we can quickly support them."

Zhou Yuan looked at Xiong Kuohai and said: "Have you kept an eye on the top leaders of the three Tusi? WarOnce we start, we must deal with these high-level officials as soon as possible. "

Xiong Kuohai and Wang Ang looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

Zhou Yuan stood up and said slowly: "Everyone, tomorrow's battle will determine the outcome."

...

April 13, early in the morning, in the tent of the joint army of Adu Tusi and Wumeng Tusi.

Waza and Yueyi have already put on their armors. This is a rare treasure, and there are only a few pieces in the entire Tusi.

"It's invulnerable to swords and guns. If we can get another 200 sets, it will be great."

Waza couldn't help but sighed: "If there are 200 sets of this kind of iron armor, it's nothing to fight Fushunzhou. I can even take care of Guizhou at the same time."

Yueyi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother, you are dreaming. We don't even have leather armor, let alone this kind of iron armor that covers the whole body. Having a few sets is already very good. "

Waza sighed, "We are behind in weapons, and we have to bear the humiliation. That bastard An Fuman wants our tenants to rush to the front, and we can't refuse."

Yue Yi said, "Brother, this is inevitable. After all, he is also worried that we will defect. If we don't even agree to this, how can we fight this battle?"

"Those tenants are nominally the people we have summoned, but we know very well that they will not listen to us after the battle. Let them die."

Waza said, "I don't care whether those tenants die or not. I just want An Fuman to suffer a greater loss, so that he won't attack us when his mind is crooked."

"He dares!"

Yue Yi said loudly, "Even if the court loses this time, it will not be destroyed. He, An Fuman, still relies on us to resist the court together."

Waza laughed, "Resist together? He is dreaming, I must make a lot of money from him. "

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, a middle-aged man strode in from outside the account and saluted, saying, "My lords, I have the latest information."

The two looked out at the same time, and Yue Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, you are finally here. What news have you found out?"

The Tusi of Adu and Wumeng have always been closed. Mr. Yan can be said to be their think tank and intelligence officer, who has helped them a lot. This time, it was Mr. Yan who boldly suggested the uprising, which can be said to be the first merit.

So the two of them trusted him very much.

Mr. Yan looked serious, but said in a deep voice, "My lords should know that as early as the end of last year, I sent an undercover to the Guizhou Xuanwei Division, and now he has mixed into the personal guard team."

"Late last night, he sent me news that An Fuman may have surrendered to the court and became the King of Qian."

As soon as these words came out, Waza and Yue Yi changed color at the same time and exclaimed.

"What! "

"How is it possible!"

Waza said loudly: "It shouldn't be, he is so ambitious, and he has come to this point, how can the court let him go."

Yue Yi also said: "Is this information accurate?"

Mr. Yan said solemnly: "Whether the information is accurate or not, we must take this issue seriously. After all, Mongolia and Donglu have been defeated and cannot contain the court. An Fuman cannot be completely unscrupulous."

"And for the court, it is better to save one of Sichuan and Guizhou at the same time, and give Guizhou to An Fuman, so that he can help the soldiers of Fushunzhou to deal with us."

Hearing this, Waza and Yue Yi's faces turned ugly.

Mr. Yan said in a deep voice: "Two adults, we must be on guard. What if An Fuman's army suddenly turns around and kills us when we attack the city? What should we do?"

In the big tent, the atmosphere solidified to the extreme.

It was unknown how long it took before Waza gritted his teeth and said: "He shouldn't do that. "

Yue Yi said: "If he really dares to turn around and hit us, we will fight him to the death!"
