"My Lord, you do not understand the art of war, but Liang does not blame you. The essence of military strategy lies in the element of the unexpected. Would you say Liang's deployment this time was unexpected or not?"
Fearing that Imperial Uncle Liu might interrupt his rambling train of thought once again, Village Chief Zhuge struck while the iron was hot, deploying his full arsenal of bamboozling techniques against Imperial Uncle Liu.
