The young man's expression couldn't help but show a bit of panic: "Then teacher, what should we do? What if the other side really uses the army..."
"Don't panic, don't panic, calm down!" Hong Yue glanced sideways and analyzed calmly, "This matter is not so easy to achieve. Sauron is loyal to the alliance and a sensible person. He knows very well what it means to use the army to quell chaos. As a side effect, he won’t do it unless he has to. Besides, even if he really wants to do it, his subordinates may not obey orders. After all, success means quelling the rebellion, and failure means rebellion. "
"Then teacher, should we do something?"
"Don't do anything for now, just add more people to monitor and see what happens next."
"yes."
…
A few days later again.
"Teacher, I can't understand what that Richard wants to do anymore." In the study, the young man stood in front of Hongyue and said, "According to the comprehensive intelligence in the past few days, it can be determined that the other party has arrived at the reef. They didn't stop behind the fort at all, nor did they meet Sauron who stayed there. They passed through the city, left the border, and continued westward.
Then he continued to pass through multiple special garrison areas and approached his fiefdom of Sarin. According to his fixed traveling speed, he would really reach a small town on the edge of Sarin later today. "
As soon as the young man finished speaking, a subordinate from outside knocked on the door and walked in. He saluted and reported: "Your Highness, the latest information is that the target has arrived at the 'Dry Stone City' of Sarin. He indicated the identity of the lord and asked the messenger to inform all the people of Sarin. Officials, later go to the largest city in Sarin, Blackwater City, to listen to his series of orders."
After listening to what his subordinates said, the young man waved his subordinates to retreat, while looking at his teacher with confusion, and asked: "Teacher, look, what is this trick of the other party?"
"This..." Hong Yue was really confused, frowning deeply, showing an expression of self-doubt for the first time, "Did he really leave Xia Ya and go to that crappy place in Shalin? What did the other party think? Don’t want to pay attention to the alliance at all?”
"Teacher, do you think... we need to continue to monitor each other, or send people to deliberately create some small conflicts around each other to see what the other side's attitude is?" the young man asked.
"No!" Hongyue quickly raised her hand to refuse, and thought for a while before saying, "We can withdraw most of the people monitoring the other party, leaving only a small part to ensure that the other party does not completely escape our sight.
As for creating small conflicts or something like that... don't do such stupid things. It's actually a good thing that the other party can really leave the alliance and stay in Sarin. Don't provoke the other party to come back. Once the other party changes his mind and comes back, it will always be a problem in Xia Ya, and I am not completely sure of solving the other party, which is very detrimental to our plan. If the other party fights desperately, it may cause huge changes in our plan.
It was out of this consideration that I did not attack the other party for such a long time. Unexpectedly, the other party was very cooperative and left. Then Charia is completely in our hands. You can do some things you want to do more easily, and you can concentrate on dealing with some annoying troubles, such as the recently established picket department, auxiliary council, etc. "
The young man listened, nodded, and said: "Teacher, I heard that the picket department is supported by the Marquis of Keton and a few old nobles, and the auxiliary council is a coalition of small nobles. The leader is a baron called Urco.
These two organizations are indeed annoying. I originally thought that the Security Department and the City Defense Department were the most serious problems, but I didn't expect them to be even more serious. They have attracted many people. Many ignorant people below have been deceived by them, and they have already gained considerable influence. "
Having said this, the young man paused, looked at Hongyue with a bloodthirsty look, and suggested: "Teacher, why don't you take action and kill them all, then Xia Ya's situation will be much simpler. ”
"I can do this." Hongyue listened and then taught, "But I am unwilling to do it because this is a very poor choice."
"Why... why?" The young man was puzzled.
"Because politics is very complicated, don't expect that just killing people can solve everything." Hongyue took a deep look at the young man and said, "You have to understand that the so-called leader is not the entire political force. , is just a representative, and is basically the people who support it. If we don’t solve the root cause and kill the leaders, new leaders will emerge.”
"Then just kill them all. Kill all the people who support him. That's okay, right?" the young man said fiercely.
"It's just a political force. It's barely possible to do this, but what we have in front of us is not just a political force." Hongyue said softly, "If we kill them all, then we may destroy the entire Xiaya and the entire alliance. Only if everyone is killed. And if everyone is killed, what's the point of ruling an empty city or an empty country
You are still young and don’t understand some things well, but you must remember that the core of politics is not to completely defeat someone, but more about compromise, deception and balance. Under a series of operations, you can achieve the goal you want, and then work hard. to maintain. As for assassination, it is only a special method used occasionally and cannot be used as a common tool.
Therefore, for political forces, whether they are the picket department, the auxiliary council, the garrison department, or the city defense department, what we have to do is not to eliminate them, but to win them over or divide them, and it is best to use them for our own purposes. "
"But they won't cooperate with us, right?" The young man frowned deeply, "Would this be very troublesome?"
"Of course it's troublesome. Politics is synonymous with trouble, so only a small group of people can always deal with politics easily." Hongyue said seriously, "But it doesn't matter, as long as you listen to me and follow my instructions, in this chaotic politics In this situation, you must be the ultimate winner. You will get everything you want, and you will become the new emperor of the entire alliance."
After hearing what he said, the young man became slightly excited. He looked at Hongyue with rapid breathing and said, "Teacher, please tell me, what is the best thing to do next?"
"Then you listen carefully. Next, you have to contact the second prince's people - the second prince is a member of the Stability Faction. We must find a way to get him to leave, join the Chaos Faction, and support Xia to continue the chaos, so that we can operate easily. —If successful, we..."
Hongyue kept talking.
The young man listened and nodded in agreement.
After a while, the young man walked out of the door after listening to Hongyue's instructions and began to mobilize his strength to take action.
So... Char's already chaotic situation became even more chaotic... until it reached a limit.
