After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1347 Happy cooperation
"The most difficult thing is to move forward courageously." He Lingchuan said slowly, "You can have a hundred reasons to settle for second best."

He was also observing Situ He, or rather, he was also testing Situ He.

After a while, Situ He's breathing gradually became steady, and his flushed face faded a little.

Once people start thinking seriously, rationality prevails, and impulse and anger give way.

"Father and I both want to strengthen our military, and hope that our people can live and work in peace and contentment, free from the scourge of war. We also don't want to be manipulated by the Yao Kingdom any longer!" Situ He clenched his fists, "Bixia must not be allowed to stay!"

Bisha was badly injured by the allied forces, and the two sides formed a mortal feud. If they didn't kill it while it was weak, none of Situ and his son's wishes would be fulfilled.

"Is this what you want?"

"Yes!" Situ He said firmly, "Brother He, I will move forward courageously!"

He no longer said that this was the wish of his father and son. He said that this was what he wanted.

"Okay, then let's talk about how to stabilize the allied forces and maintain the offensive." He Lingchuan also knew that this was the main purpose of Situ He's visit today:
Hope to hear useful suggestions.

Situ and his son hated Pixia and Yaoguo. Now that his father had just been killed, how could Situ He stop?

What He Lingchuan wanted to say was just what Situ He wanted to hear.

"Yaoguo and Pixia also know that you will have revenge in mind, but they hope to use this blow to cause the allied forces to naturally collapse." Assassinating the leader is very effective in the Golden Plains where Yuanli is scarce. He Lingchuan said seriously, "Then if Brother Situ wants to take over the position of leader of the allied forces, he must show two things."

Situ He took out a wet towel to wipe off the sweat: "I'm all ears."

"First of all, you have the determination to defeat Pisha and never compromise. This is also the temperament that a leader should have." He Lingchuan raised a finger. "In order to form an allied army, you have been lobbying for many parties and will never surrender even if you fall into the hands of the enemy. How firm is your will? Your allies can only admire your character and cannot find fault with you. So, you already have this."

Situ He was moved: "Thank you, Brother He."

"The second is prestige. Your father is highly respected and was the initiator, so he was elected as the leader of the alliance. But Brother Situ is young, and his prestige is difficult to convince others."

Situ He nodded. He was only in his twenties, and the other leaders of the allied forces were older than him. Who would be willing to listen to a young boy like him?
This is the difficulty at the moment.

"But Brother Situ also has an advantage: your talents are widely recognized in the Allied Forces." He Lingchuan was not at the front line, but he read a lot of military newspapers. "Your father often listened to your opinions - all parties in the Allied Forces also know this. In addition, you also led troops at the front line and won several battles. You have an accurate grasp of the current situation, the battlefield, and the psychology of the enemy and us. You are also the son of the old leader of the Allied Forces. You are a suitable successor both in fact and in law."

Situ He has his own team, people and fame, and is not a helpless strategist within the shogunate.

He Lingchuan said solemnly: "If your father passes away suddenly, some people in the alliance will be shaken and have second thoughts."

Situ He nodded. This was exactly what he was worried about, and this was also what the Bisha people hoped for.

He exhaled: "The situation is dangerous, and the Allied forces are in danger."

"But you have a good idea of ​​who might stand against you and who might support you, right?"

"Yes! I can figure out who they are. I can also get at least two teams of allies."

Seeing that Situ He answered without hesitation, He Lingchuan knew that this boy had a clear understanding of the situation and his allies.

That's good. When talking to smart people, just be brief.

"Then you need a big victory to prove that you are qualified to be the leader of the Allied Forces." He Lingchuan said slowly, "It is better to convince people with facts than with reason, and a loud voice is not as effective as a fist."

Only when you have a powerful weapon in your hand can you reason.

"A big victory?" Situ He's eyes lit up.

“Only when you enjoy yourself thoroughly can you dispel other people’s worries and unnecessary distractions.”

"I understand." After beating the wooden man happily, Situ He's heart gradually calmed down and his mind became clear again.

"As a leader, the most important thing is to show courage and skill, so that others will follow you willingly." He Lingchuan smiled, "Brother Situ actually has both of these."

Talking to smart people saves effort and they can understand you immediately.

"A few allies, a great victory!" Situ He bowed to him and said sincerely: "Hearing your words, I have been enlightened."

If you don't have enough prestige, then take the opportunity to establish your authority.

As long as you perform brilliantly, age doesn’t matter. You are no longer a young boy, but a “young achiever”.

He Lingchuan said meaningfully: "What I said is what Brother Situ already knows, so how can we talk about enlightenment?"

Situ He rarely smiled, but the smile was immediately covered by gloom: "My father's funeral will be handled by the tribesmen. I have to rush back to the front line to join the next war. Well, the front line has been advancing too slowly recently. I want to use a new strategy and I have to go back and design it carefully. Brother He, do you have any other instructions?"

"It's not really an admonition, it's just a casual chat between friends." He Lingchuan asked him, "Do you want to change the way the frontline fights?"

"Yes."

"Don't."

"..." Situ He was a little unconvinced, "Why?"

"The fighting style and progress on the front line have always been controlled by your father, and it has been proven to be effective." Not only was Pixia forced to give up all of Gaopu's territory, he was also stabbed several times. "If the Pixia people were not so desperate after losing, how could they have assassinated Marshal Situ?"

This made so much sense that Situ He was speechless.

"It's not that there are no better tactics, it's just that your father's style is more stable." He Lingchuan emphasized the word "stable", and Situ He listened thoughtfully. "You can use the same tactics to beat the enemy that he fears and hates. Is that okay?"

"Nothing wrong."

When his father died, all he could think of was "vigorous and resolute action". But then he thought again, the most important thing the Allies needed was stability.

"Besides, the timing is not right." He Lingchuan patted his shoulder, "When you have established your foothold and are able to control the overall situation, are you afraid that you will not have the opportunity to show your talents?"

"Brother He is right. Situ will learn from you." Situ He clasped his fists and said, "I'll go first."

The purpose of visiting He Lingchuan had been achieved, so he said goodbye and hurried back to Yaopo.

……

In the evening, it started to drizzle again.

Dong Rui woke up and heard from He Lingchuan that Situ Yu was assassinated. He also heard that Situ He came to ask He Lingchuan for advice, so he couldn't help but ask:
"You just gave a few suggestions? You're not going to take action?"

He had confidence in He Lingchuan. If this guy was willing to take action, the possibility of Situ He and the allied forces safely getting through this crisis would increase by at least 50%!
"Look, did Situ He ask for help from me? Other than asking for some verbal advice."

"Oh, it seems not." In this extraordinary period, Situ He rushed over in a hurry, just to ask He Lingchuan for some advice.

How could he not know the power of He Lingchuan and Yang Shan?

"You know why?"

Dong Rui immediately turned into a repeater: "Why?"

"Because he has to accomplish it by his own strength." He Lingchuan sat on a rattan chair and watched the rain, leisurely and comfortable. "I have done too much for the Situ family. Isn't it enough to help them get on the horse and send them off? I have to escort them all the way to the West Heaven?"

"Where is the West?" Dong Rui also moved a rattan chair over and sat under the corridor.

"Nothing. I don't have that much time or energy. I have more important things to do." He Lingchuan said calmly, "The Situ family and the allied forces are just a small part of my plan. I helped the Situ family and got what I wanted; with my help, the Situ family also got back what they wanted. This is a pleasant cooperation."

"If Situ He has the potential to become a dragon, he will be able to ascend to heaven after going through storms and disasters. If he is a bug, he must rely on my power, and then he won't be able to go far." He Lingchuan said, "I know this, and Situ He knows it better than me. Besides, he doesn't want me and Yang Shan to get too involved in the alliance."

Dong Rui muttered, "What a bunch of reasons. Let me ask you, if Situ loses, the territory can't be saved, won't Yangshan's development here be in trouble? We have invested so much in the early stage."

Although He Lingchuan was the only one who invested real money, it did not stop him from saying "we".

After operating for so long, Yangshan Islands has gradually extended its tentacles to the western part of the Golden Plains, expanding its influence day by day. But its main trunk is still from Julu Port to Situ's territory. Once Situ can't keep his territory...

"Don't worry. No matter who becomes the owner of this place, there will most likely be a place for Yangshan." He Lingchuan closed his eyes and listened to the sound of rain. This white noise could help him calm down. "Yangshan only makes friends and not enemies, only does business and not war. Who would not welcome us?"

Yangshan’s outward image is very positive.

"Uh……"

"What the Situ family hates the most is the Yao Kingdom. However, the Yao Kingdom also cooperates happily with us." This is the advantage of not forming an alliance and not showing one's claws. Yang Shan will not be easily dragged into the quagmire of war.

Just then, Jiang Lishui ran in from outside, looking a little nervous.

"My lord, no..." When the words came to his lips, he temporarily changed the words "something bad" to "something happened in the east."

East? He Lingchuan looked up and heard Jiang Lishui say, "There was a news from the east. Our Yangshan Chamber of Commerce's Yaoguo Xiancheng branch caught fire three days ago. The whole house was burned down, and ten people died and twenty-seven were injured. The person in charge of the Xialin branch, Dai Wangsheng, was accused of smuggling the banned item Linlang Gold two days ago. It is said that he was caught red-handed and has been imprisoned by the local government."

This was beyond He Lingchuan's expectation. Yangshan Chamber of Commerce had always been cautious in its actions in the Golden Plains, and each branch was guarded by Yangshan guards. Although there were constant small troubles, Yangshan Chamber of Commerce had never encountered any major problems in the Golden Plains... until now!
Dong Rui opened his eyes: "These two places are in Yao Country!"

If no one had died, he would have laughed at He Lingchuan for being slapped in the face by the facts.

This guy just said that Yang Shan and Yao Guo were having a pleasant cooperation.
