Clever Stratagem

Everyone knew how sharp Shen Gongbao's tongue was!

But no one knew that he was also a formidable strategist!

To Shen Gongbao, everything under heaven was within his grasp!

King Zhou had gone from seeming like a tyrannical, bloodthirsty ruler to a sensible, attentive king who knew how to seize the moment!
