Chapter 691: A teacher for one day, a father for life! (Seeking subscriptions, seeking
"Even simpler?" The old wizard Cang Gu was completely confused; the higher the prestige of the royal family, isn't it harder to deal with?
He completely could not understand the deep meaning in the Wu Ancestor's words.
Just at this time, a wizard walked in quickly to report: "Reporting to the Wu Ancestor, Xie Ergai is seeking an audience outside, saying there is urgent military intelligence!"
Li Chen's mouth curled up slightly: "Oh? He actually came quickly, faster than that new emperor who is kowtowing in the snow. Let him in."
The old wizard Cang Gu was still kneeling on the ground, his brain still trying to digest the meaning of Li Chen's words "even simpler," while one of the key figures to break the situation, Xie Ergai, had already arrived in a hurry.
Xie Ergai entered the Wu Ancestor's main hall in a hurry, saw Li Chen sitting on top, and skillfully knelt down to salute, his posture incomparably respectful.
After all, the person in front of him is not only the mysterious and powerful Wu Ancestor, but also the Master who taught him skills and guided his path.
He didn't dare to be slow at all, and immediately reported in detail about the new emperor rehabilitating him, conferring him as a Andrei Dagong, and Romanov using public opinion to reverse the situation.
"... Master, the situation is like this. That Romanov is cunning; in this way, the righteous name for the disciple's uprising is almost gone, and there are signs of instability in the army."
Xie Ergai's tone carried anxiety, "Master, do you think we can take advantage of the new emperor's ascension and the unstable throne to secretly contact those princes who are dissatisfied with Ma Te, such as the deposed Crown Prince, and let them make some noise in the Holy Capital to create internal chaos?
At that time, the disciple will unite with them, inside and outside, and launch an attack together! At the same time, I implore Master to find a way to make May Tian Ce increase the intensity of the attack to contain the main force of Daluo's border defense, and we can take advantage of the emptiness to take the Holy Capital in one fell swoop!"
This was the counterattack strategy he thought was most feasible after much deliberation.
However, Li Chen shook his head slowly, denying his proposal: "No. If we follow this plan, even if we succeed, we will gain more than we lose."
"Gain more than we lose?" Xie Ergai was stunned, confused, "Master, then how should we respond? Could it be that we just watch them disintegrate my forces and sit and watch this great opportunity slip away?"
Li Chen's gaze was calm, his wisdom in his grasp: "Since the new emperor has already shown weakness and promised to rehabilitate you, and even promised high officials and generous salaries, you should just go with the flow and accept it."
"Accept it?" Xie Ergai was even more puzzled, and even a bit anxious, "Master! If I accept it, then how can the disciple rebel? Isn't this equivalent to surrendering to Romanov?"
"Confused!" Li Chen reprimanded lightly, then patiently pointed out, "This is a chess game; the other side has already anticipated that you might jump over the wall like a dog and start an uprising by force. If you really do this, you will fall into their calculations and will inevitably face huge resistance, with little chance of winning. Since they use softness to overcome hardness, you cannot follow their routine."
He paused, a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "They give you the position of Andrei Dagong, you take it! Not only take it, but also open your mouth like a lion, taking the opportunity to ask for more rewards, more fertile fiefs, more population, and resources!
Think about it, once you rightfully possess large areas of fiefs and population, isn't that equivalent to dividing a part of the Daluo Dynasty's strength without bloodshed?
You must know that the new emperor Ma Te is weak and can be bullied; he can bow his head to you and me, does he dare to refuse your 'reasonable' request? You have been leading troops to fight for so long, are you still afraid of a puppet emperor?"
Xie Ergai heard this, first stunned, then his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and finally he slapped his thigh hard, suddenly enlightened: "The disciple understands! Master's high opinion! It is the disciple who is dull, only thinking of hard-hitting!
In this way, the disciple transforms from a rebel leader into a Andrei Dagong and meritorious official conferred by the imperial court! Rightfully occupying territory and accumulating strength! Before it was robbing, now it is 'rewarding'; the nature is completely different, and the resistance is naturally much smaller!
When the disciple digests these territories and resources, and the strength grows, it will be much easier to make moves in the future! Such a big benefit, not taking it would be a waste!"
He figured out the key, and suddenly became excited, and the previous anxiety was swept away.
"Master, then what about your layout?" Xie Ergai cared about Li Chen's layout again. ===== CHAPTER 692 =====
