Liu Bei used his last bit of appeal to fool the emperors of these small countries.
The rhetoric he used was the same as the one that deceived the emperor of a small country. He said overtly and covertly that Xiang Kunlun wanted to attack them and annex their country.
These emperors really all have a common problem, that is, they are very suspicious.
However, although the emperors were suspicious, their military advisors were very rational.
One of the military advisors asked Liu Bei: "You said that the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom is coming to suppress us. What evidence do you have? We have not heard such rumors recently."
I have to say that Liu Bei's face is thick, to a certain extent, and he doesn't even have to draft any lies.
He opened his mouth and said: "What you think is so true! If Xiang Kunlun wants to attack, he will naturally have to take it by surprise."
As he said that, he looked around again and said to everyone: "Think about it, how could he leak the news in advance?"
The military advisor wanted to say something more, but the emperor gave him a look and stopped what he wanted to say.
"If the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom really means this, then he must have done something abnormal. If you can give an example, I will believe you."
This time, Liu Bei did not open his mouth to come, but pondered for a minute or two.
The more he did this, the more real it seemed. "Your Majesty, you don't know something. Xuande escaped from the Dragon Kingdom!"
The emperor was slightly surprised: "Why is this?"
Liu Bei looked sad and said that Xiang Kunlun was moody and what he liked most was to use force to crush other small countries at will.
"At that time, he was talking about this matter to his men, and I happened to overhear it."
"Xiang Kunlun found out that Xuande knew his secret, so he ordered Xuande to be hunted down. Xuande finally escaped."
"Xuande feels that since he knows about this matter, he has the obligation to inform you."
"Because Xuande really can't bear to see you being played by Xiang Kunlun!"
After hearing Liu Bei's righteous words, the emperor of the small country was all moved.
Liu Bei added more fuel to the fire and said that Xiang Kunlun had brought many people. If you want to defeat him, you must unite with other countries. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope.
All countries were panicked and felt that what Liu Bei said made sense. The more this happens, the more they should unite.
Although there are still emperors in some countries who are undecided, most countries have already made objections.
While Zhuge Liang and others were looking for Liu Bei, an underground alliance against the Dragon Kingdom was born.
Liu Bei's original plan was to incite people from these small countries to attack Xiang Kunlun immediately so that he could take advantage of him.
Unexpectedly, the plan still went awry.
These small countries agreed that it would be difficult to defeat Xiang Kunlun on the surface, after all, he was too powerful.
Therefore, they could only obey on the surface first, and then deal with Xiang Kunlun secretly.
Liu Bei was a little anxious. If this was the case, and he saw that Xiang Kunlun was defeated, how long would it take
Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but persuade: "Xuande thinks it's better not to delay this matter, be careful of long nights and many dreams!"
But this time, the emperors of these small countries were unmoved. They felt that after forming an alliance, they would have the strength to confront Xiang Kunlun.
If you want to succeed once, you can't be too anxious. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. No matter how much Liu Bei jumped up and down, there was no way to convince these people.
If you act too eagerly, you will easily be suspected. Thinking of this, Liu Bei temporarily gave up and waited to see what would happen.
The emperors of these small countries got together and made many plans, but in the end they felt they were not suitable and overturned them.
At this time, the emperor of country a had an idea and proposed: "Otherwise, how about we formulate a terrorist attack against the dragon country?"
After hearing this, the emperors from other countries suddenly found it interesting and asked him to explain it carefully.
The emperor of country a whispered a few words, and everyone nodded with satisfaction and approved the plan. Soon, the plan was implemented.
Although the impact this had on Xiang Kunlun was not huge, it was still enough to cause a headache.
He ordered a comprehensive investigation, and anyone found to be involved in this matter would be put in jail.
Zhuge Liang knew without thinking that this must be the work of some small countries. I'm afraid Liu Bei's contribution to the cause cannot be reduced.
He suggested to Xiang Kunlun: "Your Majesty, this matter can be big or small. Kong Ming believes that even in order not to hurt the peace, it is necessary to give those alliance countries a shock."
Xiang Kunlun nodded. Indeed, it seemed that his life was too peaceful. If he didn't beat those small countries, they would hardly know what their last names were.
Zhuge Liang led the crowd to knock on mountains to frighten tigers, kill chickens to scare monkeys, and used many methods to frighten the alliance countries.
But I didn't expect that it would have little effect.
The subordinates were very puzzled: "Military advisor, what do these small countries want to do? I really don't understand why they let go of their good life and have to find some excitement for themselves."
Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes, shook his feather fan, and smiled without answering. Sometimes this person is easy to get into trouble with his nose.
If you are too good to him, he may want to ride on your head one day.
Of course, if you are a tyrant, you only know how to oppress them.
Then the extremes of things must be reversed. Sooner or later, the spring will rebound, and the rulers will suffer backlash.
Therefore, when it comes to governing the country and employing people, it is necessary to maintain a balance and maintain a certain degree.
"Let me ask you, how have these small countries developed since the Dragon Kingdom was unified?"
The subordinates didn't understand why the military would suddenly ask this question, but after thinking about it for a while, they answered truthfully.
"The strength of these small countries has greatly increased, and their lives have become much better than before."
Zhuge Liang nodded: "You are right." "Then let me ask you again, if you are a penniless pauper, and suddenly one day, tens of millions of taels of gold fall from the sky, and you pick it up, what will you do first? What do things do?”
The subordinate scratched his head and thought to himself, I wonder about this kind of daydreaming thing every day, how could the military advisor know
Could it be that he has the ability to read minds? This is really awesome.
"If it were me, I would definitely spend the money first to eat the best food and drink the best wine."
After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang didn't wait for a long time to speak, and his subordinates felt a little uneasy.
"Well, military advisor, is this wish of mine too vulgar?"
