"Combined vertical and horizontal?"
Wang Pingchang stood rooted to the ground, pondering over the meaning of these two words.
" Lord Wang, you can't!"
When the ministers behind him saw Chief Wang's bow, they were all shocked.
The other party was just a prisoner at the moment.
Therefore, everyone revealed an absurd expression and looked at the Emperor with questioning eyes.
The empress was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Wang Pingchang, do you have to go against me?
You know that I don't like this guy, but you still want to side with him?
However, she finally understood that the big picture was more important.
Although he didn't believe that Li Jin Nian could really say anything, at this moment, as one of the pillars of the court, Wang Pingchang naturally had his reasons for doing so.
Hence, the empress bit her lower lip and said reluctantly,"Let go of this traitor for the time being."
"Yes."
the guard promised.
Li Jin Nian stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes. Then, he looked at Chief Wang.
The other party also stood up and bowed. Then, he sincerely said,"Can I trouble Assistant Minister Li to explain what is vertical and horizontal alliance?”
"Bring me a map washi."
Li Jin Nian said.
Wang Shoufu hinted to the guard beside him with his eyes, and the other party reluctantly followed.
It was very strange.
The morning court session, which was supposed to be orderly, had actually evolved into this.
The hall was in a mess.
Instead, Li Jin Nian became the center of attention.
Soon, the guards carried a table, paper, pen, and a map of Dafeng and laid them out on the table.
Although the empress snorted coldly, she subconsciously moved closer to him.
He wasn't expecting Li Jin Nian to say anything. He just wanted to see how capable this traitor was.
Or was it purely for the sake of sensationalization?
Li Jin Nian's breathing became much calmer as he picked up his pen. He stood in front of his desk and examined the territory of Dafeng for a long time.
The atmosphere quieted down.
At this moment, hundreds of millions of netizens in Xia country were also focused and waiting to see what Li Jin Nian was going to do.
It had already come to this.
There was still a chance to turn the situation around?
If he really did it, wasn't it too much of a fantasy?
......
Li Jin Nian did not think too much about it.
He was examining the territory of Da Feng and comparing it with the memories of his previous life.
In the end, he realized that the geographical location was very different.
However, this actually helped Li Jin Nian's plan.
He had studied the history of Dafeng and understood how lacking the military and diplomacy of the country in this era was compared to his previous life.
Since that was the case, prepare to be baptized by the 5,000 years of wisdom of the Chinese people!
In the end, he slowly began to draw.
Then, he marked an area near the edge of the map.
This area was quite far from Dafeng, and it was made up of many scattered areas, so it was not taken seriously.
After all, the Xiongnu Khaganate was eyeing Dafeng covetously next to this area.
"What do you mean?"
Chief Wang was puzzled.
However, many of the military officials who had participated in the morning assembly gathered around with interest.
Until just now, they had been scornful of the civil officials 'reaction.
After all, they were all from the military and were iron-blooded men. They were not afraid of war at all. They only felt that these "pillars" of the court were too unbearable, so they did not express any opinions and only treated them coldly.
However, Li Jin Nian's performance piqued their interest.
Although he didn't look as weak as an ordinary scholar, he wasn't a soldier at all.
How could a scholar who had never been on the battlefield have any brilliant ideas?
Could it be that it was just a theory?
Finally, a Rank-3 general came closer and carefully examined the area marked by Li Jin Nian. Then, he said,""The Thirty-Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions?"
"Not bad."
Li Jin Nian nodded but did not say anything else.
"Don't keep me in suspense!"
Someone in the crowd said.
Li Jin Nian sneered and threw his pen aside.""Please understand your position. Don't talk to me in that high and mighty tone. Are you even worthy?”
"This…"
Many ministers were dumbfounded.
However, when he saw the expressions of those military officials who were thinking carefully, he suddenly felt that it was better not to be the first bird to stand out.
The comments echoed.
"What cows and horses? Do you think you're qualified to question my country's players?”
"Get lost! You were the one who cried the most just now. When you heard that the Xiongnu were about to attack, you were so scared that you almost peed your pants!”
"You're hopeless!"
......
Those generals who were familiar with military books had no time to care about the people who interrupted. Instead, they looked at the map of Dafeng marked by Li Jin Nian.
He felt as if a light had flashed in his mind, but he could not grasp it no matter what.
Finally, some people could not get an answer even after racking their brains. They could only say,"Lord Li, what is the mystery behind this? Could you please explain it to us?”
"Yes, yes!"
In the end, it was this group of military officials who became respectful to Li Jin Nian.
Li Jin Nian picked up his pen and pointed at the countries of the Western Regions one by one."Dawan, Xiye, Qiuci, Loulan, Dayue, Wusun."
" Perhaps if we look at the map separately, the territory of these countries is less than that of Dafeng, and the population and resources they possess are far inferior. They struggle to survive in the desert of the Western Region, and they are also threatened by the neighboring Xiongnu.”
"But what if we look at it from another angle?”
"Gather this plate of loose sand together!”
After saying that, Li Jin Nian drew a big circle on the Thirty-Three Countries of the Western Region.
Then, two arrows were drawn from the circle, pointing at two different locations.
" This!!!"
A general slammed the table and stood up. His face was flushed red as he looked at the two arrowheads excitedly.
With such a label, anyone who had some military knowledge would understand.
As expected, the generals and many civil officials who were watching suddenly understood.
It was as if he had been enlightened and instantly woke up!
"I see."
"Lord Li's brilliant plan is truly amazing!”
The officials began to discuss.
Then, he carefully looked at Li Jin Nian as if he was looking at a monster.
Of course, this was also the true reflection of many soldiers at this moment.
After risking their lives for so many years, the Xiongnu had always been a worry in their hearts, but it had never been completely resolved.
These soldiers were also very aggrieved!
One of the generals was panting heavily, his eyes red. He was obviously extremely excited.
He looked at Li Jin Nian's calm expression and wanted to go up and hug him, but he felt that it was a little abrupt. He could only resist the urge and reach out to pat Li Jin Nian's shoulder.
"Lord Li, it's my great fortune!”
Except for the empress, who didn't understand at all from the beginning to the end. She only asked in puzzlement,"Isn't it just 33 countries? In the past, it was just a remote village that paid tribute to Dafeng.”
"Stop coughing. Your Majesty, you don't understand.”
"Lord Li's plan might completely resolve the problem of the Xiongnu that has troubled Dafeng for decades!!!”
At first, he wanted to refute the other party excitedly, but halfway through, he realized that he could not afford to offend this person. The general could only change his tone and explain excitedly.
He pointed at the map that Li Jin Nian had altered.
On the map, two arrowheads extended from the 33 countries of the Western Region, pointing at two different locations.
One of them was the back of the Xiongnu Khaganate.
The other location was where the Xiongnu army would pass through when they invaded Dafeng!
