Chapter 2041 Set up the Stage

Taking the Opportunity?
Qilu Fu's eyes brightened as he looked at Xu Shize, and the two smiled slightly and nodded knowingly.
Qilu Fu grinned and said, "So what you mean is..."
Xu Shize nodded and said, "Good, I plan to take the initiative to lure the enemy deeper this time. Since the states of Chu and others are hesitant to make a move, we'll give them the opportunity to do so!"
“这场战斗拖得越久，越对我们不利，大楚等国也是发现了这一点，所以才一直没有任何动静，显然就是在等我们的前线出问题。”
"We can't wait any longer. As the saying goes, 'he who strikes first gains the upper hand.' Only by taking the initiative can we seize control. Even if there are problems on the front line later, we won't be too passive and can still hold back the larger states like Da Chu."
Xu Shize's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance.
It has to be said that Zhuge Yun's plan this time was very deep, and almost caused the Tang Dynasty to fall into an irreparable abyss.
Unfortunately, no matter how cunning Zhuge Yun was, he was ultimately no match for the old fox Xu Shize.
任何阴谋诡计，在徐世泽眼里都无处遁形，再加上拥有天下第一毒士齐鲁夫的配合，别说一个诸葛云了，就算是一百个诸葛云加在一起，也绝对不是这二人的对手。
Upon hearing this, Qilufu nodded and agreed with Xu Shize's plan.
"Shouldn't we report this to His Majesty?" Qilufu asked.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Shize replied, "Let's keep it a secret for now. Only the two of us should know. The fewer people who know about this, the more credible it will appear."
"What if the State of Chu and other countries realize that we are just pretending? That would not be worth the cost, and they will become more cautious in the future, making it difficult for us to lure the snake out of its hole again."
Upon hearing this, Qilu Fu agrees, as Xu Shize said, the fewer people who know about this, the better.
If the countries of Da Chu and others really fall for it this time, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Tang Dynasty.
Next second, Qilu thought of something and said, "Actually, we don't need to make it so complicated. As long as His Majesty produces weapons on a large scale, the states of Da Chu and others are not to be feared."
Since witnessing the power of weapons such as mortars, Zilu Fu's worldview has been completely overturned.
In his eyes, there is nothing that cannot be solved with a single shot, whether it's a world-dominating power or a half-step martial emperor, etc.
In front of absolute firepower, even the Emperor would be a little brother!
Xu Shize looked at Qilu Fu with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "Do you think Tang Yu doesn't want to mass-produce weapons?"
齐鲁夫沉默没有说话。
Xu Shize slowly spoke, "If it's just firearms like in Da Chu, we can produce them too, but the weapons of Da Tang can no longer be described as just terrifying."
"Simply put, weapons are a double-edged sword. When used well, they can become a powerful tool for conquering and occupying territories. However, if any unexpected incidents occur, they can deal a devastating blow to the Tang Dynasty."
原来，徐世泽也曾问过这个问题。
唐羽的回答是，时机未到！
唐羽之所以不大规模生产武器的主要原因，除了现代化武器有伤天和之外，最重要的一点是不容易控制！
Just like what happened before, Luqiu's disciple accompanied Tang Dynasty with his skills.
If such a thing happens again, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The other party only stole the technology of firearms, but if the core personnel who master the core of the shells betray Tang Dynasty, the consequences are simply not something Tang Dynasty can bear.
“你想一想，大唐之所以能有今天，不正是因为我们拥有别的国家没有的武器吗，若是大楚等国拥有和我们一样的武器。”
"Do you think the Tang Dynasty will still exist?" Xu Shize said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Qilu Fu's pupils suddenly shrank.
He instantly understood why Tang Yu was not mass producing weapons.
"Your Majesty's thoughts are even more meticulous than we think. Your Majesty becoming the new emperor of our Tang Dynasty is truly our good fortune!"
"I always believe that in the near future, Your Majesty will definitely become an emperor of the ages! His deeds will ultimately be recorded in history, and will be passed down to future generations forever!"
A flash of brilliance flickered in Qilu's eyes.
What he and the Tang Emperor had failed to do back then, Tang Yu had accomplished.
In a certain sense, Tang Yu is more suitable to be the emperor of Tang than the Tang Emperor!
"Leave the future to the future, our current focus is on how to solve the problems posed by Da Chu," Xu Shize glanced at the map on the table.
Just then, the commander of the imperial guards, Mu Zhan, arrived in front of the two men.
"Two prime ministers, His Majesty has just received a message requesting reinforcements from the front line. The two prime ministers are to dispatch troops to reinforce as soon as possible!" Mu Zhan said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Shize and Qi Lufang exchanged a smile.
本来他们二人还在想如何引蛇出洞，可没想到唐羽要求出兵增援前线。
“还真是想睡觉就来枕头。”
徐世泽意味深长笑了笑，道：“陛下还真是为我们送来了及时雨啊，这次我们可要好好配合陛下演这场戏才行。”
Acting?
Mu Zhan looked at Xu Shize with suspicion.
Qi Lufu nodded slightly, instantly understanding the implied meaning behind Xu Shize's words. He asked, "What do you plan to do? There aren't many troops left in the capital city, and if we dispatch reinforcements, it will be difficult for us to conquer the Great Chu and other countries."
"If there is no reinforcement of troops, then the Kingdom of Chu and other countries will definitely not take the initiative to attack."
Qilu frowned slightly. Although the two of them planned to use a stratagem to lure the enemy out, they now face two problems.
If troops are sent to reinforce the front line, then the forces of Tang Dynasty will be insufficient.
However, if troops are not sent to reinforce, it is certain that the states of Da Chu and others will not take the initiative to attack. It will be difficult to lure the enemy out then.
However, Xu Shize just smiled and had already come up with a countermeasure in his heart.
"Real and fake, true and false."
"Since Your Majesty has ordered us to send troops to reinforce, then we will do as Your Majesty says, but we will make a big sound but only do a small amount!" Xu Shize laughed.
Qi Lu was suddenly enlightened.
The next second, Xu Shize looked at Mu Zhan and said, "Mu Leader, immediately summon all the large armies in the capital city and send them to the front line to support His Majesty."
"Remember, the bigger the commotion, the better!"
"However, once they have crossed the border of the Tang Empire, these troops will quietly circle back!"
Hearing this, Mu Zhan was confused and full of doubts, looking at Xu Shize and the other with puzzlement.
Will troops be sent to reinforce and then return in a detour?
Mu Zhan was a bit confused, but since the orders came from the two prime ministers, he had no choice but to carry them out.
He believed that Xu Shize had his reasons for doing what he did.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Mu Zhan responded, turned around and left to call all the troops within the city to gather.
Immediately, Qi Lu and Xu Shize showed a teasing smile.
实际上，出兵只是一个幌子罢了，徐世泽打算来一招瞒天过海骗过所有人的眼目，让大楚等国掉进他们二人的圈套之中。
"The stage is set and we're just waiting for the great show to begin!"
Xu Shize's lips slightly curve upward, revealing a mysterious smile.
