To put it bluntly, strategy is a matter of polishing details and foresight in predicting things. If you insist on adding something, then there is still a "big picture".
It was obviously Fenghong Villa and Jing Jiuchao who were in a passive and weak position in this matter, coupled with the panic caused by the lack of power after "Chi" disappeared, which made Yang Xiu Sheng and Yang Shu blind and did not stand on the same side. Looking at the overall situation from a higher position, I did not see the "opportunities" hidden behind the dangers.
As for Shen Hao, he had a foresight plan. Whether it was Lang San, Qing Chi, or all the other aspects, he had already planned, so the situation at hand was not urgent in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the sect circle has suffered a lot of losses in the underground palace this time. Almost all major sects have lost one or two talented disciples. Although this is not a serious injury to their sect, it is still a loss. The two super sects, Mingshan Sect and Wanjuan Shushan, were even worse. Four elders died in the former, and three elders died in the latter, which is equivalent to several broken bones.
Under such a situation, coupled with the increasingly tense atmosphere in the sect circle, it only takes a little spark to ignite this pile of dry wood. "
When Shen Hao mentioned this, Yang Shu quickly thought about it. . His eyes lit up, and he leaned forward and asked urgently: "Do you want to use offense instead of defense?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, instead of letting them discover the turmoil in the country and then secretly plot their evil intentions, it would be better to take advantage of the civil strife in the sect and let them lose all their wealth first. Maybe the country can take the opportunity to counterattack by then. Come and profit."
Yang Shu's eyes brightened when he heard Shen Hao's confidence. He also knew that Shen Hao had already stirred up troubles in the sect circle. We have been working hard for many years, both overtly and covertly, and have achieved very good results. Even the current tense internal confrontation within the sect was caused by Shen Hao himself. After provoking a conflict, the Jing Dynasty could still watch from the other side. Yang Shu also praised this skill many times.
Now that Shen Hao had directly made his plan clear, the more Yang Shu thought about it, the more he felt that there was much to be done!
"Tell me your plans in detail."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to overestimate the details. They need to be carefully considered. But the general direction is well understood. For example, the core issue currently being fought between super sects and large sects is not actually resources in the superficial sense, but It is a deeper "right to harvest resources."
Each major sect hopes to retain its suppressive power over lower-level sects, so as to obtain resource tribute that exceeds its own share, that is, to exploit the resources of lower-level sects. This achieves the purpose of strengthening oneself while squeezing the lower sects.
The super sects are rich and wealthy, and they are not interested in the few resources in the hands of the lower sects, but their own prestige and status in the lower sects. They use this to push back on the middle and upper sects and squeeze the middle and upper sects in disguise. The sect's room for survival, limiting its strength, to achieve the ambition of maintaining its top status, actually controlling the sect, and becoming the controller of the sect.
This conflict is related to the fundamental interests of the middle and upper sects, and they will not give in. The two super sects have also been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and will not give up easily.
If it were in the past, maybe a super sect could suppress it. Just like after the previous sword trial meeting, although the atmosphere on both sides was tense, generally speaking, the major sects were at a disadvantage, and they did not dare to resist the pressure of the two super sects. This can be seen from the fact that the lower-level sects that have been protected by the two super sects have been safe and sound so far. Otherwise, I don’t know how many small sects have been massacred.
Haha, the gap between the two sides is what I want to say is the gap between the top masters. In fact, the monks in the Yuan Dan realm and the first realm of Xuanhai realm are still dominant among the major sects.
But now, Mingshan Sect and Wanjuan Shushan combined have lost seven Xuanhai realm elders. Among them, two are from the lower realm of Xuanhai realm, and the rest are all from the middle realm. Wouldn't this loss narrow the biggest strength gap between the two sides at once? If I were a member of the major sects, no matter how timid I was, I would now have some courage to dare to fight with the two super sects with real swords and guns.
All that is missing is a spark.
For example, our open employment agreement is no longer limited to the Black Flag Camp, but can open up all Xuanqing Guard establishments. This will allow you to recruit ten times more people. Basically, more than half of the sects at the bottom can be included. At the same time, rumors can also be spread that not only Xuanqing Guards, but also local government offices and garrisons will be included in the scope of recruitment agreements in the future. Remuneration will fluctuate depending on the actual situation.
Your Majesty could even let the matter slip in the temple, or ask the Chinese Academy of Sciences to send some strategies to solicit opinions, etc.
In this way, the sparks can be lit. "
Such a big talk can be said to peel off the current situation bit by bit from the shallower to the deeper so that the emperor can see clearly. At the same time, how to "ignite" is also explained in detail.
Yang Shu listened carefully, but did not rush to express his opinion. Because Shen Hao's analysis of the situation was very clear and easy to understand, but later on, the ignition was relatively obscure. At first glance, it seems that this "ignition" action has nothing to do with the previous situation. But as he thought a little deeper, Yang Shu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Yes! This method is indeed feasible! Hahaha, they say that you, Mr. Shen, are vicious and clever, but now it is really good. I am afraid that someone else would never have come up with this method of yours. It is an eye-opener for me!"
Yang Shu was also an extremely smart man. Shen Hao put the words in front of him, and he didn't have to worry too much about the twists and turns.
After a few words of modesty, Shen Hao chose to tell the truth and continued: "Once we expand the scope of the employment agreement, then the door will be opened, and those who want to get the "wages" of the employment agreement will be given. An opportunity for the sect to get involved.
As the middlemen, Mingshan Sect and Wanjuan Shushan will face a large number of requests from lower-level sects, hoping to obtain their promises so that they can sign employment agreements with us.
If the Mingshan Sect and Wanjuan Shushan accede to the requests of these low-level sects, it will be equivalent to forcing the middle and upper-level sects to a dead end and have no choice but to fight to the death.
If Mingshan Sect and Wanjuan Shushan were worried about taking too big a step, they deliberately limited the number of these sects. That would greatly damage their credibility and lose their righteousness of "helping the lower-level sects." In the opposite direction, the middle and upper sects benefited.
Even if the people of Mingshan Sect and Wanjuan Shushan want to understand the consequences of this choice, they have no extra choice. Even if they choose the latter method, which seems to be relatively safe, it is very likely to hit the life gate of the upper sect.
So I thought that if this happened, there would be a war within the sect! "
