"It's okay, it's not that long, we just saw each other."
Zhao Ping'an felt that the distance between himself and Li Si was as great as a day in heaven and a year on earth.
Twenty years have passed in Li Si's world, but for Zhao Ping'an, it was just a snap of the fingers here.
["I guess you're wondering about the matter of Mouai's Rebellion?"]
First pretend to be a wise man and give Li Si a small jolt of awe.
...
“No wonder Zhao Master! After all these years, Zhao Master still has such ingenious calculation!”
Li Si looked at the characters on the board and felt greatly shocked.
He was very curious:
How does Zhao Master know about Mouai's affair?
"Could it be that Zhao Master's extraordinary foresight has predicted Mouai's affair?"
Li Si still couldn't believe it:
What kind of person is this?
He has actually been curious for twenty years about who Master Zhao really is.
He has also investigated carefully for years, but there is no news, only the well-known Zhao lineage.
Finally, he could only arrive at a simple answer:
"Master Zhao is truly a divine person."
【Master Zhao is right, then, how does Master Zhao see it?】
["Master Zhao wonders when Mouai might make his move."]
...
["At the coming-of-age ceremony."]
Zhao Ping'an replied in this manner.
"However, we'll need to come up with an excuse to go there."
"Little Li Si is not an easy person to deceive."
Zhao Ping'an thought for a moment and decided to quickly reply in a light and simple manner:
[This is actually a very simple logic, right? Shouldn't I need to explain it to you in detail?]
...
Li Si looked at the board where Master Zhao had given him a profound reply, and soon realized:
This is what Master Zhao wants me to figure out myself!
"Mmm... is it because the Coming-of-Age Ceremony takes place in Yongdi, and Yongdi is not under the power of the Qin Zhuangxun Wang?"
"Yes!"
Li Si nodded, "That's right! Master Zhao is truly a master of strategy and foresight!"
He replied to Master Zhao's thoughts on the board, and Master Zhao replied:
[You are absolutely right. It seems that after twenty years, your comprehension has significantly improved.]
[Then, here comes another question:]
["When do you think you should strike?"]
Zhao Ping'an took the initiative and said, ["You should be able to figure this out very easily."]
Li Si thought for a moment and replied:
["I think it should be done before the Coming-of-Age Ceremony."]
["Seven days later is the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, and within three days, we should completely eliminate Mouai."]
[No, that's not the way to do it.]
Zhao Ping'an replied, ["Mouai, couldn't you have guessed that you would be eliminated within three days?"]
["Of course, I can foresee it."]
[In these few days, he will undoubtedly strengthen his defenses.]
["Let's do it like this. We can send Qin Shuangxiang, dressed as a messenger of the King, pretending that the King is ungrateful. Then, we can use the pretext of Mouai's rebellion to kill Mouai."]
...
Zhao Ping'an addressed a lot of things on the computer screen of the Historical Records, and finally managed to explain his thoughts to Li Si.
In history, Li Si emerged victorious, and it was done exactly in this way.
——This is essentially a form of gambling.
The thinking behind this plan is quite simple:
I will bet that you dare not attack me in the city of Xianyang but instead set up an ambush in Yongdi.
Because this matter is essentially a zero-sum game between the two parties:
Both parties have no idea what the other is thinking, and when the other will strike.
Only a person like Zhao Ping'an, who can 'look into the future', can break this deadlock.
The Historical Records in the chapter on Qin Shi Huang's reign have some vague descriptions of the Mouai Rebellion.
The Historical Records states that "Qin Shi Huang had originally no trouble, but because of the turmoil caused by the Empress Dowager Lv, luckily, it was fortunate for the good people of heaven to protect them and the great calamity did not occur."
Zhao Ping'an also did not know what it meant to be 'protected by the good people of heaven'.
However, what Zhao Ping'an knows quite clearly is that:
"Next, there shouldn't be anything for me to do for the time being?"
Zhao Ping'an looked at the messages on the computer screen, "There will be a class meeting tonight and you need to check in!"
Zhao Ping'an helplessly shook his head, "Damn it, even though you are guiding the famous Qin Shi Huang in history and giving instructions to Mouai for the first palace coup in Chinese feudal history, and proudly guiding tens of thousands of troops, as an undergraduate student, you still need to obey the call of the counselor."
...
On the other side.
Li Si returned to the Qin royal palace.
The Qin king is having a conversation with one of his attendants.
Li Si hurried back to the Qin king, the attendant was just reporting:
"Mouai has made arrangements in Yongdi and is ready. As long as the king goes to the Coming-of-Age ceremony, Mouai will definitely confine you to Yongdi completely."
Qin Shuangxiang showed a worried expression.
Now he also couldn't think of any way to solve the trouble in Yongdi.
Li Si approached and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm back."
"I have already thought it through, we will confront them!"
Qin Shuangxiang's eyes widened, "Master, what are you talking about?"
"Earlier, Master seemed to have a gentle and scholarly demeanor, needing more consideration. How come you suddenly have such a resolute attitude now?"
"I just went to ask Zhao Master, and Zhao Master said that we can use the ruse of replacing the real with a fake in Yongdi to deceive Mouai from a distance."
Qin Shuangxiang seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked:
"What kind of person is this grandmaster, anyway?"
"How did he know Mouai's plan?"
Li Si excitedly said: "This is Zhao Master's wisdom!"
"He knew about Mouai's plot from thousands of miles away, without prior agreement. It is Zhao Master's extraordinary foresight that has obtained intelligence about Mouai's rebellion."
"Knowing about it from afar?" Qin Shuangxiang wondered, "Were you not to have informed the ancestor about Mouai's matter, did the ancestor find out by himself?"
Li Si nodded, and Qin Shuangxiang immediately exclaimed:
"This is divine intervention!"
"Then, he wondered, 'Isn't it suspicious that he could have had an informant in my Qin kingdom?'"
Li Si shook his head and said, "Definitely not."
"For this matter, I have thoroughly investigated, but found no clues."
"Later, I went straight to ask, and Zhao Master replied to me that he did not have spies in Qin, but calculated it himself."
"Self-calculated to know?" Qin Shuangxiang was even more surprised, "After the matter is over, please introduce the ancestor to me!"
Li Si nodded, "Your Majesty, let's discuss the matter of Mouai first."
"Zhao Master gave me three strategies..."
He mixed Zhao Master's strategies with the middle strategy in the three strategies and told Qin Shuangxiang.
...
Soochow University, Grand Hall.
Zhao Ping'an idly leaned against the chair, listening to the counselor's informal speech:
"The new semester just started, there are many things that need to be arranged."
"The new semester has just started, and there are many things that need to be arranged. Certain students' make-up exams should also be kept in mind."
"Recently, there have been some strange phenomena around the school."
"Please believe in science and do not believe in strange online novel statements such as spiritual awakening or mysterious occurrences."
"This is just a normal phenomenon that can be explained by science."
The counselor pointed to a photo in the PowerPoint presentation.
When he heard this, Zhao Ping'an's eyes lit up:
Spiritual energy awakening?
Mysterious descent?
Does this have something to do with 'Huaxia History'?
"In 'Huaxia History,' there are also many strange little things..."
