Today, Meng Jingye had to admit that Fang Yun now possessed all the leadership skills and temperament.
It was not because Fang Yun discovered the key to the problem in advance, but because Fang Yun did not stick to the rules and did not constrain his mind with the idea that "if you do nothing, you will make no mistakes; if you do more, you will make more mistakes; if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes."
In fact, everyone present will soon realize that Fang Yun’s insights and questions may seem like a matter of time on the surface, but at a critical moment, a single thought can change the outcome and even plunge the entire human race into an irretrievable situation.
Fang Yun did not surpass everyone else by much. Even after he took half a step, everyone followed and stood shoulder to shoulder with Fang Yun.
But it is that seemingly insignificant half step ahead that determines whether a person has the ability to be a leader.
That is not just half a step, it is also about choosing the direction and determining the path!
Many times, path and direction are far more important than hard work and talent.
As Fang Yun spoke, he held the Xu Lou Pearl in his hand, and linear rays of light were projected out, eventually interweaving into a map of the ancient land of Shihan.
"Everyone, please look, the ninth cold city of our human race is located in the southeast, a mountain away from the central Ice Emperor Palace. The only canyon in the mountain is occupied by the Star Monster Barbarians. Although our human race and the Star Monster Barbarians are not allies, they are good neighbors, so we can always pass through easily. Even if the Ice Palace appears, we can still pass through, is that true?"
A university scholar said: "If our human race occupies Wanxing Pass, we will also allow the Star Demon Barbarians to pass through, even if it is to go to the Ice Emperor Palace. What you mean is..."
"Yes! If the Blood Demon Barbarians occupy Wanxing Pass, we only have two options, either to capture Wanxing Pass by force, or to bypass Wanxing Mountain. It is not difficult to bypass Wanxing Mountain, but the problem is that unless we know the opening time of the Ice Emperor Palace and set off half a month in advance, otherwise if we wait until the Ice Emperor Palace opens before setting off, what awaits us halfway is the birth and death of the ancient land."
A university scholar said, "We talked about Wanxing Pass the day before yesterday, but we found that if we seize Wanxing Pass now, we will inevitably clash with the Blood Demon Barbarians. The Blood Demon Barbarians will definitely not wait for us to occupy it."
The rest of the grand secretaries nodded slightly. In fact, almost everyone had considered Wanxing Pass. After all, it was too important. However, the consequences of a full-scale war with the Blood Demon Barbarians were too serious.
Fang Yun said, "I would like to ask a few questions. Under the current situation, the possibility of us going to war with the Blood Demon Barbarians is more than 70%. Do you want to fight with the Blood Demon Barbarians in our Ninth Cold City, or attack Wanxing Pass after the Blood Demon Barbarians occupy Wanxing Pass, or choose to occupy Wanxing Pass in advance, or fight with the Blood Demon Barbarians outside the Seventh Cold City of the Star Demon Barbarians? In other words, if a war is about to break out, will you choose to sit back and watch the war spread to your own territory before fighting, or try to control the outbreak only in other people's territory?"
Everyone was silent. The result was obvious. Defending Wanxing Pass in advance was the best option, while going outside Xingyaoman City was too radical.
"In fact, after Xing Yaoman asked for help, I have been thinking deeply about the perspective from which we should consider this issue. From a personal perspective, I don't want to help Xing Yaoman, because this may implicate other human races. Regardless of the outcome, the human race will suffer certain losses, and it will also affect my literary reputation. From the perspective of the human race, we should not fight either. After all, no one can predict the future, and it is best to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. However, when we go up a level and consider the problem from a higher perspective, we will find that once the Blood Demon Barbarians solve the Star Demon Barbarians, they will not be stupid enough to attack our human race, but will definitely block Wanxing Pass at all costs to prevent our human race from going to the Ice Emperor Palace!"
Everyone nodded.
Fang Yun continued: "So I thought, is it more costly for our human race to take action after Wanxing Mountain is blocked, or is it more costly to take action now?"
"We have considered this, but the problem is that if we don't help the Star Demon Barbarians, we may still be able to maintain peaceful coexistence with the Blood Demon Barbarians. Even if Wanxing Pass is blocked, we can still take a detour in advance. If we take action now, we will inevitably go to war with the Blood Demon Barbarians, and the cost is too high."
Fang Yun said: "Indeed, we can take a detour, but everyone here knows the situation in the Ten Cold Ancient Land. In the future, the Ten Cold Ancient Land will become colder and colder, and it will reach its peak when the Ice Emperor Palace is born. With so many of us rushing on the road in advance, the casualties of those below the Juren level will exceed 20%. How long will we have to wait outside the Ice Emperor Palace? One month? Two months? If it exceeds three months, half of the people below the Juren level will die!"
Everyone was silent. In fact, everyone present knew what was going on, but no one dared to bear the consequences of going to war with the Blood Demon Barbarian.
To aid the Star Monsters is to protect Wanxing Pass and to protect the human race.
Fang Yun said: "Ordinary people cannot see the blood demon barbarians' teeth biting their throats, students cannot see the claws tearing their flesh, scholars cannot see the wailing of countless wronged souls of the human race, candidates cannot see the corpses along the way to the Ice Emperor Palace, and scholars cannot see the blood demon barbarians and the Ice Clan waiting in front of the Ice Emperor Palace. But, we should see it, and we must see it! The reason why we can lead the human race is not because we can reduce their fear in the disaster, but because we can alleviate the disaster before the disaster and fight against the disaster in the disaster!"
Everyone's eyes became focused, and everyone looked at Fang Yun with respect.
"I, as a Void Saint, have decided that the human race will help the Star Demon Barbarians and fight against the Blood Demon Barbarians as a great gift for the upcoming Second Battle of the Two Realms Mountain! I will bear all the consequences! I will bear all the charges! I will bear all the infamy!"
Several great scholars present at the table showed a trace of shame on their faces.
Making a decision is always more difficult than waiting for a decision, but people often complain about the former.
It was not until this time that many people understood that Fang Yun was indeed looking at the problem from a higher perspective and even saw through the layout of the demon world. This ancient land of Shihan would most likely become the prelude to the Second Battle of the Two Realms Mountain. If the Blood Demon Barbarians could win, they would surely launch the Second Battle of the Two Realms Mountain with the remaining momentum of victory.
There is no evidence to prove that this is related to the Second Battle of the Two Worlds Mountain, but they should see it and must see it!
A strange light flashed in Han Jun's eyes, and he said, "I support Fang Xusheng and will help Xing Yaoman as much as possible. However, how to help is the key to the problem."
"Your Majesty Han Jun is right. In fact, if there is a suitable way to provide assistance, I would have proposed assistance a few days ago. The problem now is that I really don't know how we should start." Meng Jingye said.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Because I fought against the Criminal Palace, all my income in Shengyuan Continent in the past few years has been confiscated. My family is waiting for food. As long as Xing Yao Man can afford it, I will take off my civil service uniform and voluntarily join Xing Yao Man for a period of time, representing only myself, and leave after earning enough money."
As Fang Yun spoke, he took off his university scholar's official uniform in public and changed into an ordinary scholar's long gown.
Grand secretaries from each family stood up one after another and began to change their outer clothes.
There seems to be warmth flowing in Han Jun's palace.
