I write novels in Liyue

"Yes, don't worry, Lady Coral Palace, I will do my best."

Goro nodded earnestly.

"Okay, let's continue watching."

As Coral Palace Xin Hai looked at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in her hands, she thought of that gentle white-haired woman.

She was just saying it casually.

Unexpectedly, Miss Fang Qiu actually wrote a book full of strategy, and it was written so brilliantly that it was truly amazing.

The Battle of Red Cliffs alone involves a complex interplay of various forces, with domestic, diplomatic, and military actions taking turns at play.

Despite the large number of characters appearing, she didn't try to remember them all, but after watching the series, she found that she could remember almost every single one of them.

……

……

P.S.: It's so upsetting that the intercom is gone and I can't see any feedback anymore. I was so worried yesterday. Starting today, every chapter will have to be manually reviewed before it can be published.

It's even more painful now.

I hope everyone will follow and subscribe more, which will give me confidence, and I will start to increase the frequency of updates and speed up the pace.

You can also come to the group to give your opinions and suggestions, and I will consider them carefully. The group number is 367730610, but I'm going to sleep soon.

Chapter 408 Clash of Top Political Strategists (Part 2)

It's late at night in Mondstadt.

A gentle breeze caressed the earth, and dappled moonlight streamed through the leaves, falling onto the flowing spring.

Quiet and peaceful.

Inside the Knights of Favonius.

Seeing Qin sitting upright at her desk, seriously flipping through "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" while taking notes with a quill pen, while Lisa sat on the sofa drinking coffee, she couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.

Qin has been working late into the night for almost a month now, and her body is showing obvious signs of strain.

The burden on Qin's shoulders was far too heavy.

It just so happens that today is the book release day, and she had planned to let Qin read Fang Qiu's book to relax.

After all, crying can sometimes be seen as a way to release emotions.

Just like with the recent "Chinese Paladin 3", after watching it, Qin rarely showed her girlish side.

She was relieved.

But Qin refused this time when the book was recommended.

It is said that the recent diplomatic issues with Shizuka are very complicated, and that after the Inazuma Eisai Festival, the country will be completely opened to foreign trade, which will also bring many diplomatic problems.

Left with no other choice, she could only watch it alone.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu's new book turned out to be a strategy novel that covered diplomacy, domestic politics, and war.

Moreover, as you read through Fang Qiu's book, almost every strategy is intricately linked and meticulously crafted.

The late Eastern Han Dynasty was a time of chaos and turmoil, with intrigues and power struggles raging, far more complex than the current situation in Mondstadt.

Besides being shocked that Fang Qiu could write such a work of political intrigue, she also found a reason to recommend the book to Qin.

That is learning.

Take a break while you're at it.

Unexpectedly, Qin treated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a textbook.

That's not all; she also took notes and insights while reading, and would occasionally chat with her about the power struggles within the story.

For example, during the Battle of Guandu, Qin talked to her for a full two hours.

Spies, assassins, cutting off supplies, defection, cutting off supplies, interfering with enemy rear areas, and the observation of various forces—from macro to micro levels, with information on both sides almost transparent to each other, the two top strategists of the late Eastern Han Dynasty began an epic clash.

In the end, Cao Cao personally led his troops into a perilous situation, burning his boats and facing death, ultimately defeating Yuan Shao's 10,000-strong army at Wuchao with only 5,000 elite troops, thus outmaneuvering Yuan Shao, who had personally orchestrated the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao also commented on Yuan Shao when he discussed heroes with Liu Bei over green plums and wine in the previous article.

He is outwardly fierce but inwardly cowardly, fond of scheming but indecisive, he is afraid to risk his life for great things, but will risk his life for small gains.

It was precisely this point that led to Yuan Shao's defeat by Cao Cao.

Even at the last moment, Yuan Shao had a chance to win.

First, send troops to reinforce Wuchao; second, attack Cao Cao's main force.

Whichever path you choose, you'll likely win.

Yuan Shao chose to attack Cao Cao's main force.

However, Yuan Shao did not dare to fight to the death like Cao Cao did.

This is what Cao Cao described earlier as "being willing to risk one's life to accomplish great things."

If Yuan Shao personally leads the attack on Cao Cao's main force, Zhang He and others will not dare to surrender, and their morale will be greatly boosted. They will definitely be able to take down Cao Cao's main force. When Cao Cao returns from Wuchao, they can wait in comfort and catch Cao Cao off guard.

However, besides that, she also noticed something else.

That is the difference between the strategists on both sides.

However, this gap is not a gap in strategic tactics.

It's not a difference in the art of speaking.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's armies were locked in a stalemate at Guandu, and with food supplies running low, Cao Cao considered retreating.

At this time, morale was low and surrounding forces were observing the situation.

If Cao Cao were to retreat, the morale of his troops would plummet, and all the other factions that were still observing would defect to Yuan Shao, making Cao Cao's defeat inevitable.

Xun Yu and Jia Xu both knew this, but they knew that Cao Cao was under immense pressure at the moment and absolutely could not reveal this.

Therefore, they adopted an encouraging approach, telling Cao Cao that if he persevered, he would surely win.

Cao Cao thus calmed down and continued to strategize and take charge of the overall situation.

On the other hand, Ju Shou's strategies were indeed useful, but he was bad at speaking. Not only did he refute Yuan Shao to his face, but he also undermined the morale of the army.

Moreover, Yuan Shao has already made a well-considered decision, and his subordinates should do their best to help him accomplish it, rather than opposing him.

Lisa glanced at the book "Let's Go, Dudu" placed to the side, a work published by Keli during her time in Inazuma.

Whether it's Fang Qiu in the book or the Fang Qiu that Ke Li initially described, she is a gentle and adorable girl.

How did he suddenly transform into an author capable of writing top-tier political intrigue novels?

Ah, what an interesting woman.

I must meet her when I have time to test her strength.

"Lisa, where are you looking?"

Just as Lisa was thinking about how to test Fang Qiu's true intentions, the sound of a piano rang out.

"I witnessed the Battle of Red Cliffs."

"Lisa said."

"Me too, let's discuss the Battle of Red Cliffs."

Qin, holding a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," sat down next to Lisa and said...

"Don't rush, have a cup of black tea first."

Lisa smiled and said, "By the way, the merchandise store in Liyue is selling Three Kingdoms card games tomorrow. Want to go buy some and try them out?"

"Card games?"

Qin was slightly taken aback.

"It's about each person playing a role and fighting against each other; that should be quite interesting."

Lisa said, "You've been working too hard lately. This is a good opportunity to give yourself a break and also to digest what you've learned today."

"OK then."

Qin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Rest is secondary; the main point is that many parts of Fang Qiu's book can indeed be used for diplomacy with Zhi Dong and Dao Qi.

As for domestic affairs, what Fang Qiu is writing about now has little to do with domestic affairs.

It remains to be seen whether domestic affairs will be involved later.

"Then it's settled. I'll hand over the work to Kaiya tomorrow, and we'll go out for a stroll together."

"Lisa said."

"Should we just give it to Kaiya again... or maybe we should just forget about it?"

Qin hesitated.

“There haven’t been any missions lately, so Kaiya has been in a semi-rest state. It would be good to have him help out. Besides, I always treat him to a good drink after he helps out, so he doesn’t lose out.”

"Lisa said."

"OK then."

Qin glanced at Lisa helplessly, knowing that the other party was doing it for her own good, so she said no more.

"Alright, let's discuss the Battle of Red Cliffs. Shall we start with Zhuge Liang, or with Sun Quan?"

Lisa smiled and said.

"Let's start with Sun Quan. He was able to quickly integrate Jiangdong after Sun Ce's death. His abilities and skills should be no less than Cao Cao's."

Qin said.

"Ah."

Lisa nodded.

So they started discussing it quietly.
