Chapter 996: On Information
Of course, there are some bandit leaders who should feel something is wrong, but they have few channels of information and can only listen to Wu Yi's nonsense!
In fact, in Wu Yi's eyes, whether it is the way of gods, immortals or humans, the most important thing is to obtain information and analyze and use it afterwards.
Most of the time, one's own qualifications are not the main reason, but a secondary factor.
If you have poor qualifications, you can also achieve brilliant achievements by following the will of heaven and under the impetus of the general trend. Of course, if your qualifications are really unprecedented and comparable to the ancestor god Pangu, just ignore what I said.
However, after the collapse of the original world, such a situation is close to zero. Those gifted beasts withered one by one, which is an example, unless the world changes again.
In the boundless world, Wu Yi is called a genius once in a thousand years, but others don't know what level he is. Wu Yi himself is still clear, and saying that he is once in ten years may be a compliment.
The reason why I was able to rise was mainly due to the help of my master Zhi Tianxuan in the early stage, and in the later stage, I followed the route planned by the former head of the sect. With the help of the head of the sect, I was able to develop so smoothly.
Those who say that my fate is determined by me, although they have an adult face, may have a mentality worse than that of a child. But it doesn't matter. After being whipped by the cultivation world, they will naturally recognize the reality.
Speaking of the bandits, most of them don't even know why the war started. They just think that Zhang Tianwen is trying to recover the lost land.
In fact, recovering the lost land is important, but the most important thing at the moment is negotiation.
Both sides have a basis for negotiation, but both want to get more benefits. What if the differences cannot be resolved? Naturally, they can only rely on blood and fire.
This is the main contradiction. Recovering the lost land is only a secondary contradiction. Because of the existence of the main contradiction, both sides will hesitate between fighting and not fighting.
Before the negotiation began, the Beidi tribe had already gained the advantage of taking over Tianlang City. With the strategic position of Tianlang City, it was a place that the Daji Dynasty would definitely take back. In this way, they would wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, and their advantage would be gradually expanded. Moreover, the area near Tianlang City was flat and suitable for cavalry operations.
The battlefield chosen by the Beidi tribe for themselves was naturally suitable for them. Once the Daji Dynasty was entangled here, it would continue to lose blood and finally cede more interests at the negotiation table.
Zhang Tianwen's countermeasure was to use Wu Yi as a surprise soldier. It would be a good thing to be able to take back Tianlang City. If he could not take it back, it would also be a good thing to be able to contain the forces of the Rinan tribe. At worst, it would collapse at the first touch, and it would also be an opportunity to find a scapegoat. Anyway, it would not cost them anything, and they would get something for nothing!
The regular soldiers would find a place suitable for the Daji Dynasty army to fight, and quickly take it down with thunderbolt means, forcing the Beidi tribe to start a war here.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Tianwen's strategy was not wrong, and it was in line with his status as the marshal of the Northern Army. It was a good thing for the country, the army, and himself.
The sacrificed ones were the bandits led by Wu Yi, who were all troubles anyway. Wu Yi was a rioter who incited civil unrest, and there were many other bandits who committed many evils.
Anyone who saw this exchange would raise their hands and feet in approval! But from a personal point of view, Wu Yi was going to destroy this plan anyway.
It would be fine if he didn't go to the battlefield. If he went to the battlefield, he would be a chess piece. How could he abandon it if he wanted to? As far as the war near Tianlang City was concerned, Wu Yi was still a chess player, and he could fully exert his subjective initiative and change the situation to a certain extent.
If the truth of the matter was exposed, the other side would always be vigilant anyway, so his own pressure could be reduced to a certain extent. If he could reduce it by one point, it would be one point.
In addition, it could also hinder Zhang Tianwen's plan. If his plan was hindered, he might change his mind and send troops to help him.
However, because Tianlang City is suitable for fighting with the northern tribes, Zhang Tianwen's final choice may be to force himself to fight in order to contain the military power of the Sunan tribe to the maximum extent.
In that case, it can be regarded as the worst result. Just used to starting from the self-destructive place, Wu Yi is now calm and doesn't care about these things at all. He will fight against the enemy and cover the water with earth.
Speaking of which, Wu Yi and the former Lord of Tianlang City are actually very similar in some places. A small chess player, the fate behind him is affected by the ups and downs of the strength of the two major forces. He seems to be in a high position, but his fate is also involuntarily.
However, the hand of the former Lord of Tianlang City is much better than Wu Yi. Apart from anything else, his identity is destined to make him succeed if he asks for help.
But the last good hand of cards exploded in his hand.
From a certain perspective, the former Lord of Tianlang City is a person who lacks information or does not analyze the information properly.
The Daji Dynasty and the Northern Tribes started negotiations. During the negotiation process, they would definitely fight and talk at the same time, and finally get a compromise result. Now there is no basis for a full-scale war between the two sides, and compromise is just a matter of time.
What is the choice of the Northern Tribe? Undoubtedly, Tianlang City is one of the breakthrough points.
Why didn't he step up his guard? He was attacked from inside and outside, and the city was lost and his reputation was gone. He was really unworthy of being a son of a noble family.
Wu Yi looked down on the former Lord of Tianlang City. Although the enemy was indeed powerful, his lack of caution was the main reason, otherwise he would not have failed so badly.
Thinking of the former Lord of Tianlang City, Wu Yi suddenly remembered that there was a daughter of the Lord of the City. These days, he was so busy that he almost forgot that there was such a person.
The daughter of the city lord has been imprisoned in a side tent by Wu Yi these days, and Gan Tianba is guarding outside. Gan Tianba, who thought he had received a good job, saw that Wu Yi had not come for a few days, and thought that Wu Yi had lost his fresh mind and was dying.
However, after he caught a glimpse of Wu Yi from the corner of his eye, he still ran to Wu Yi to pay his respects. Although Gan Tianba was impatient, he at least knew why he could maintain this status and identity at the moment, so he naturally had to curry favor with Wu Yi. Once Wu Yi left, he might be excluded and killed.
Insufficient strength combined with a higher status will naturally arouse envy, which can be regarded as a way to control people! Similarly, you can also refer to officials such as the censor and the supervisor. They are humble and powerful, but they dare to challenge the prime minister. Who gave them the power?
Using the small to control the big, and the weak to control the strong, this is the art of power!
Of course, this is just the most basic political strategy, barely enough to get you started. If you really want to learn political strategy, or even the art of being cunning, instead of reading cheap texts, you might as well work hard to get promoted and become a real senior executive. Then, you will have the opportunity to display your talents.
