Chapter 318

Le Luo Luo was frightened by Wang Yang, his footsteps paused, and the smile on his face was frozen clean.

"Keep walking, don't stop, and don't walk too fast. Listen to me while you walk."

While Le Luo Luo was stunned, Wang Yang's pace maintained the original rhythm, walking forward like a stroll.

Le Luo Luo was full of shock and questions, but had no time to digest them, and could only follow Wang Yang's footsteps to seek answers.

"I told you about the main-war faction before, and also said that the main-war faction has an important figure in Jingzhou. Although I didn't say who he was, I think you have already guessed a few points..."

Le Luo Luo was shocked in his heart, and Wang Yang's words echoed in his ears:

"Someone said 'The Wenyang barbarians have the ambition of a wolf, only force can intimidate them. We must slaughter the whole tribe to eliminate future troubles! Anyone who speaks of sending silk should be executed to apologize to the world.' The person who said this has a noble status, high position and great power, is greatly related to Jingzhou, and is very fond of war..."

This matter has always been a hidden worry in his heart. He also discussed it with his father, and his father also tended to believe this statement, saying that if there were no main-war faction holding them back, the court would not have sent a young noble young master, without symbols, edicts, gold, silver, or silk, just like this, alone into the Wenyang Gorge, relying on a mouth to recover the barbarian tribes.

"Is it the Prince of Badong—"

"Right, it is the Prince of Badong. He is the one who least wants to see the alliance between the Han and the barbarians. I also guessed that he would make trouble, but I thought he would wait until I returned to report to the court before making a move. But I didn't expect him to send someone to the Yongning tribe in advance! If I didn't guess wrong, he wants to incite the Yongning tribe to use troops against you, or destroy you before you submit, or find an opportunity to kill me. Even if I can survive and return to report, and you can hold on until you request submission, the war in the barbarian land has already started. The main-war faction will have more reasons to obstruct us from accepting the submission, such as 'The barbarians are infighting, wait for them to decide for themselves', 'The situation has changed, wait for later observation', 'They are coming to surrender because they are poor, not out of sincerity', etc. In short, he will try every means to prevent the submission. So when I saw Xie Xie Niangzi Xiao in the tent, I knew something bad was going to happen. But no matter her or the Prince of Badong, they don't know that I came here having received—"

Wang Yang's voice paused, his hand pointed to the sky, giving Le Luo Luo a look.

Thanks to Wang Yang's foreshadowing about the oral edict in the barbarian village before, Le Luo Luo understood and nodded solemnly. Wang Yang's mouth raised slightly, his smile slightly mocking yet appearing to have plenty of room to spare:

"So I have the right to act according to circumstances. This is the reason why I have the confidence to talk about the disposal of the Yongning, Wu Ning, and Yidu tribes. I am afraid Xie Xie Niangzi Xiao didn't figure this out either, thinking that I was just talking nonsense and temporarily drafting it. She thinks she is playing chess with me, and the Prince of Badong also thinks he is playing chess with the main-peace faction, but they don't know who the real opponent is at all..."

Just as Xiao Baoyue's foreshadowing made Angta suddenly realize and quickly accept the presupposition of "internal struggle in the Han court."

At this time, Le Luo Luo also had the same sudden enlightenment, only feeling that Wang Yang's strange and difficult words in the large tent were all connected:

"I originally thought I was ordered to go on a mission and had already pacified the Jing barbarians, but I didn't expect you to come anyway."

"The court has its own disposal for this matter, which is not something you can know, and even the Prince of Badong doesn't know much about it."

"I am naturally clear, I am only afraid that you... are still in a dream..."

If Wang Yang directly let Le Luo Luo stand on the opposite side of Xiao Baoyue, I am afraid Le Luo Luo would be timid. After all, Xiao Baoyue is backed by the Prince of Badong and the entire Jingzhou. So Wang Yang buried the lead of using the Son of Heaven as a trump card from the beginning. This lead was buried obscurely without leaving any handle. Listening to a single sentence can only vaguely feel its meaning. Only when the front and back are connected does it make people suddenly realize.

No matter Angta or Le Luo Luo, they never thought that Wang Yang and Xiao Baoyue, a pair of men and women who started stepping on each other as soon as they met, had actually hidden words in their sharp words early on. Wang Yang hid it the earliest, starting to foreshadow for this moment from the first sentence of the meeting. Xie Xie Niangzi Xiao entered the state from the second sentence.

The two stepped on each other while taking the other's words, and planted foreshadowings that could arouse the reverie of the two chieftains. On the surface, the dialogue between the two sounded smooth and natural, but in fact, every word and sentence was the careful calculation of the two! Just like the idle chess pieces laid down by masters when playing chess, they were confusing at the time, but when the layout was completed and the beginning and end corresponded, people woke up like a dream. But are they really awake? No, this is an "awakening" that they think they have achieved by being deliberately guided by others. In fact, the so-called awakened ones are still in a dream.

"Don't stop, keep walking."

Wang Yang patted Le Luo Luo, let him keep up with the pace, and continue to "build dreams":

"Since she represents the Prince of Badong, it is absolutely impossible for her to sit and watch me unite the three barbarians to submit. As soon as Angta leaves the tent, she will use both soft and hard tactics to bewitch the Yongning tribe to take action against us—"

Although Le Luo Luo accepted the setting given by Wang Yang, Xiao Baoyue's performance was vivid, and it really didn't look like she was going to take action against anyone:

"It shouldn't be, right? She should also be in favor of our submission, at least not opposed. If she really had the heart to destroy it, she could have spoken on the spot, either obstructing or instigating. But apart from arguing with you a few times at the beginning, she didn't add any chaos later, and instead followed you and said a few words. I think she is also willing to facilitate our submission. After all, she didn't expect you to be able to let the three tribes submit together, not to mention she—"

"I am a court envoy, and I hold the banner of righteousness. The way I speak is the way of mutual benefit and mutual favor for several families. She has no position to oppose, nor the ability to oppose. Even if she wants to frustrate it, with me present, she can't do it. So she can only wait until I am not present to handle Angta alone. This woman is the number one strategist under the Prince of Badong, most skilled at using conspiracies. 'The raptor is about to strike, flying low and tucking its wings; the beast is about to pounce, flattening its ears and crouching down'! Her not adding chaos and agreeing is just to let you relax your vigilance, let us wait for the alliance in joy and satisfaction, and then she can take this opportunity to launch a fatal blow against us—"

"You are a court envoy, does she dare to move you?"

Le Luo Luo heard that Xiao Baoyue was the number one strategist of the Prince of Badong, and already had a sense of vigilance, but after all, Wang Yang's persona was a court envoy. It was not easy to let Le Luo Luo believe that Xiao Baoyue dared to take action against the Son of Heaven's envoy. Wang Yang began to enlarge the move:

"What does she not dare? The things that happened in the barbarian land, there are only two of us on the Great Qi side. As long as I die, she will control the situation. How to say it is all up to her? Maybe she will bite back and directly plant my death on the Wenyang tribe! Don't forget! She is a person of the Prince of Badong! She is a main-war faction! They want to start a war and make contributions! If the envoy doesn't die, what merit is there for the main-war faction to have?!"

Wang Yang's words exploded in Le Luo Luo's heart like lightning!

All the dark lines buried by Wang Yang before, all the warnings that seemed unintentional, were illuminated by this lightning at this moment!!!

"The main-war faction originally wanted to catch our handle. Don't say marrying two girls, even if I only marry one..."

"My main purpose this time is not to bring back Liu Cheng, but to block the main-war faction from gaining power..."

"The main-war faction wants to fight, but he doesn't have enough reasons..."

"Now that the main-war faction is gaining power, I can't bring any explicit text into the barbarian land..."

"If the main-war faction gains power, then the ransom is hopeless, not to mention that the court will increase troops on a large scale and fight you to the end..."

"The sword of the main-war faction has been brewing for a long time, but you don't know it yet..."

"The main-war faction wants to make contributions through war and seize power through conquest. Not only will they not be afraid of the long time, but they are also hoping for it; they will not be afraid of other tribes responding, but are hoping for it! One general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither, the blood-stained crimson robe becomes more vivid..."

"..."

After specific information leaves an impression, it will affect subsequent judgments and actions. This is the "anchoring effect."

From the beginning of meeting Le Luo Luo, Wang Yang implanted the "anchor point" of the main-war faction for him. Since then, he has repeatedly mentioned it and constantly strengthened the hints.

He not only said it in front of Le Luo Luo but also said it in front of Old Zou Ye. Because he knew that Old Zou Ye would pass it on to his son, which is equivalent to verifying and strengthening this "anchor point" through the mouth of the person Le Luo Luo trusts most. When Le Luo Luo repeatedly contacts this information in different scenes, different contexts, and different angles, his cognition will solidify, and he will regard it as a "reasonable existence" in his subconscious.

So Goebbels believes that the essence of propaganda lies in simplicity and repetition. Simplicity is easy to understand, and repetition is powerful. Wang Yang used this point. It's just that he originally prepared this anchor point for the Prince of Badong. Now that Xiao Deng claims to be the special envoy of the Prince of Badong, let's carry this pot together...

Le Luo Luo's vigilance and fear were completely ignited, and his train of thought suddenly became clear! From the Prince of Badong to Xiao Baoyue to the Yongning tribe, a dangerous line was suddenly connected:

"She wants to use the hands of Yongning to get rid of you! Use your life to give the Prince of Badong an excuse to send troops!"

Nice.

Wang Yang looked at Le Luo Luo: "Not just my life, do you think without huge benefits, Yongning would be her knife?"

Le Luo Luo was like being splashed with ice water, only feeling his mind was bright and cold and heavy:

"She is also aiming at me! She promised the Yongning tribe to launch a surprise attack for revenge! They want to start a war!"

Then he immediately thought of something and was shocked:

"You deliberately said to hold a banquet! The celebration banquet at night is bait! You want to take action during the banquet!"

Angta was shocked: "Bait? You said Wang Yang wants to take action during the banquet! He wants to take advantage of our drinking and feasting to launch a surprise attack and kill us!"

Xiao Baoyue hummed:

"What's so strange about this? The meeting place is between the two tribes, the camps are opposite, the military strength is equal, and the terrain is the same. No one has an advantage. Soldiers are deceitful; do you really expect him to talk about morality? A banquet without preparation is the best time to take action. At that time, kill the leaders first to make the three armies headless, and then attack the camp in the chaos. Our army will definitely be defeated!"

Angta felt cold all over, only feeling lingering fear!

If it weren't for this woman's reminder, he would have happily gone to the banquet, and then been killed or captured in astonishment! It's not that he is stupid, but that the submission matter has huge benefits for all parties, belonging to mutual joy! Just now he was planning to force Wu Ning to surrender and sweep Yidu. Who could have expected the other side to turn their faces at this time? Even if you fill the well after drinking water, at least you have to wait until the water is in your mouth! Turning your face without drinking water is harming others and not benefiting yourself! If he didn't know about the internal struggle of the Han court, he would definitely have been tricked to death by Wang Yang!

Xiao Baoyue suddenly turned her wrist, closed her fan like a sword, her brows lifted slightly, and her eyes were flying:

"Don't worry, with me here, Wang Yang can do nothing! Since he put out the bait, then I will just follow the bait and swallow the boat, swallowing him into a crushing defeat!"

Slap!

The folding fan closed with a sound.

Where the evening wind rose, Wang Yang's brows and eyes were murderous, his steps were like clouds, and between his steps, a steep and vigorous vitality arose:

"The banquet is not a real banquet, is the bait a real bait? Since he boasts of a mouth that swallows boats, it is just right to test my sword that cuts dragons!"
