Chapter 118 Su Qin in Action (Thanks to Weiyangz for the many rewards)
And just when Su Ye was summoning balance.
Dayong, thousands of miles away.
Night falls and the sky is dotted with stars.
Outside the towering city walls, a figure quietly walked through the dense woods. His steps were brisk yet steady, as if every step was carefully calculated.
It was Su Qin, who had already set out for a long time. He was the top diplomat of the time, famous for his extraordinary wisdom and eloquence.
Entrusted by his lord and bearing secret orders, he intends to stir up trouble among the various vassal states that are plagued by internal strife.
Su Qin was dressed in a green robe with a calm smile on his face, but his deep eyes were flashing with a light as sharp as a knife.
He knew that the purpose of his trip was not only to fulfill his lord's instructions, but also to find a foothold for himself in this chaotic world.
He quietly approached the camp of one of the vassal kings, which was brightly lit and heavily guarded.
Su Qin did not show up directly, but secretly observed every move in the camp, looking for the right opportunity.
It was a dark night and the light in the tent flickered, illuminating the prince's changeable face.
Su Qin stood in front of him, calm and with wisdom in his eyes.
"Mr. Su, why are you visiting me so late at night?"
King Lu of Luzhou in Dayong sat behind the desk, staring at Su Qin and the three people behind him who helped Su Qin sneak in quietly, and asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the king, Su Qin came here to offer a plan that can help the king solve the current dilemma."
Su Qin smiled slightly and bowed to the frightened King Lu.
"Oh? What's Mr. Su's plan? I'd like to hear more details."
King Lu glanced at Lang Fanyun and the other two, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion.
Su Qin unhurriedly unfolded the map in his hand, pointed at the mountains and rivers on it, and said: "Your Majesty, please look, now the vassal states are divided and fighting each other, but their strengths vary, and they check and balance each other."
"If Your Majesty wants to stand out in this chaotic world, you must unify all the vassal states."
When Prince Lu heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but he did not show his emotion. He just said calmly: "Mr. Su is right, but the relationship between the various vassals is complicated. How easy is it to unify them?"
Su Qin was well prepared and responded calmly: "Your Majesty's concern is very true. However, Su Qin believes that things in the world will eventually separate after a long period of unity, and will eventually unite after a long period of separation."
"The current chaos among the vassal states is a good opportunity for the king to unify the world."
"As long as Your Majesty follows the plan, you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
King Lu became interested and leaned forward and said, "Oh? What good ideas do you have, Mr. Su? Tell me quickly."
Su Qin was secretly delighted to see that Lu Wang had fallen into his trap, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, do you know who among the vassals is the most worrying?"
King Lu pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, they are the powerful vassal kings with strong troops and horses."
Su Qin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is wrong. Those powerful vassal kings are certainly a concern, but their ambitions are also obvious, and they will definitely fight with each other."
"Your Majesty, all you need to do is sit back and watch the tigers fight. When both are badly hurt, you can send troops to clean up the mess."
When Lu Wang heard this, his eyes lit up, but he was a little worried and said, "That being said, what if they unite to deal with me?"
Su Qin said confidently: "Don't worry, my king. Su Qin has another plan to break up their alliance. Just do this and that..."
As he spoke, he whispered in Lu Wang's ear, like the temptation of the devil.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Mr. Su is truly a genius of the time!"
"If this plan succeeds, I will definitely reward you handsomely!" The more King Lu listened, the more frightened he became, and finally he couldn't help but slap the table and exclaimed.
Su Qin bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. Su Qin is willing to serve Your Majesty, even if it means going through fire and water!"
The two smiled at each other, with subtle expressions on their faces.
King Lu's eyes kept looking at Lang Fanyun and the other two.
These are two celestial-level instant combat forces, and a peak grandmaster-level powerhouse.
God has mercy on him, as he is one of the princes who ranked low in the rebellion of the kings.
There is not even a shadow of a celestial being under his command now.
At present, the strongest person in his Jianghu internal force system is only in the late stage of Grandmaster.
Now, three people who are stronger than his current strongest force have come at once.
Two of them are celestial beings!
Although I don't know why they lost their minds.
But since they are willing to work for themselves.
Well, Lu Wang would naturally not refuse such a good thing that fell from the sky.
After staring at each other for a long time, Lu Wang broke the silence and slowly said, "Mr. Su, how should the strategy of forming alliances and making alliances that you proposed earlier be implemented?"
Su Qin twirled his beard and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, under the current situation, if the weaker vassal kings fight on their own, they will be defeated one by one by the stronger ones."
"Only by uniting together can we resist foreign aggression and protect ourselves."
Lu Wang nodded, showing his understanding: "What you said makes sense, but the matter of alliance is easier said than done."
"There have always been grievances between the various fiefdoms. How can we ensure that they will sincerely form an alliance?"
Su Qin smiled slightly, revealing his confidence: "Your Majesty's concern is correct. But Su Qin believes that the world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit."
"As long as we can demonstrate the benefits of the alliance, coupled with wisdom and strategy, we will be able to convince the princes."
He paused and continued, "First, we need to select a few princes who share the same ideals and are equally powerful as the King as allies."
"Through secret meetings and sharing of information, mutual trust and cooperation gradually deepened."
King Lu frowned slightly: "Then how should we choose allies?"
Su Qin stretched out his finger and drew a few lines on the map: "Your Majesty, please look, these vassal states are located at strategic points. Although they are not strong, they have a superior geographical location and are the link between the major vassal states."
"If we can win their support, we can not only enhance our own strength, but also form a strategic encirclement of the powerful vassal."
A hint of approval flashed in Lu Wang's eyes: "Mr. Su has indeed thought it through. So what should we do next?"
Su Qin stood up and walked to the map: "Next, I will personally go to these vassal states to lobby their monarchs."
"With my eloquence and strategic skills, I will be able to convince them to join our alliance."
He turned to look at King Lu and said, "During this process, Your Majesty must also actively prepare for war and reorganize the military at home."
"Once the alliance is formed, we can work together to fight against the powerful vassal."
King Lu was so excited by Su Qin's words that he stood up and bowed solemnly: "Mr. Su, your opinion is brilliant! I am willing to support your plan with all my country's strength. I only hope that you can form an alliance to fight against the powerful enemy as soon as possible!"
