Soon, the large carriage stopped at the entrance of Boyang Market, where there were also many tea stalls and noodle stalls doing business.
"Sit for a while first? Or talk while walking?"
Liu Xing looked at the lively scene in Boyangxu and said, "What do you think of what the man in the car just said?"
"Let's have a cup of tea first before we go in. This trip made me want to vomit."
As soon as Yin En said this, Liu Xing knew that he wanted to talk about some super games, so if he talked while walking, the passers-by might not hear anything.
So, Liu Xing and the other two found a tea stall to sit down and ordered three cups of the cheapest large bowls of tea.
There is no way. Although Liu Xing and the others are full of money-making ideas at this time, the problem is that these ideas have not yet had a chance to be implemented... So although Liu Xing and others can't be said to be short of money, they don't have much to use.
of funds.
You must know that among the three Liu Xings today, the richest one is Yin En who holds the wife's book, followed by Liu Xing who is "preparing" to give gifts to Yin En, and Ding Kun can be described as penniless. After all, this
He has been recuperating from his injuries for a while, so he has no income at all.
So this time when they came to Boyang Ruins, Liu Xing and the others just wanted to gain a lot of experience and see if there was any chance of picking up any mistakes.
The province has its own flowers, so Liu Xing and the other three can only afford a big bowl of tea at this time.
"I suspect that the middle-aged man dressed as a businessman may be a subordinate of the Third Prince, because I noticed that there are calluses on both of his hands, especially at the tiger's mouth and palms, so we
There is reason to suspect that he is a martial arts practitioner; and the same is true for his friends, who have obvious traces of martial arts training. At the same time, they have been paying attention to the demeanor of the people around them during this period, so I think the purpose of their doing this is to
Build momentum for the Third Prince in advance."
Ding Kun said first: "What is certain is that the third prince will definitely arrange for people to search for information in Tianlan City, especially the information about his old father. After all, an old man of the New Dragon Emperor's age can really just leave at the drop of a hat.
Ah, just like a few old neighbors I used to know, they usually seem to be in good health and have never been sick for a year. As a result, they fell asleep and never woke up again; and the most important thing is
The new Dragon Emperor has not chosen the crown prince yet, so everyone will have an inexplicable hope and corresponding ambitions. In short, if the new Dragon Emperor dies at this time, no matter who will succeed him after this
Even if he reaches the top through normal procedures, he will definitely not get the approval of his brothers."
"However, the timing of launching an army is also very important. In the current situation, it is best to do it as soon as possible, because if it is too late, a certain prince will be the first to take out the edict and claim the throne. Then you can
If you take action, you may be regarded as a treasonous person, and you will be at a great disadvantage in public opinion. You may even be attacked by other brothers around you under the banner of counter-rebellion. Of course, the actual purpose of these brothers is to carve you up.
The prince wanted to gain territory and improve his own strength, and then eliminate a competitor in advance; so when the gap in strength was not large, he first took out the imperial edict of the late emperor and declared himself the emperor, and also successfully held the succession ceremony.
That will give you a huge first-mover advantage.”
"Of course, if you want to occupy such a first-mover advantage, you must ensure that you arrive at Tianlan City as soon as possible, so the third prince is basically out of luck. After all, even if you rush from Yunze City where the third prince is,
It will take about five days to get to Tianlan City, and this must be done without anyone stopping you. Besides, when you go to Tianlan City like this, you will only have a few personal guards with you, so you can run with this lineup.
Going to Tianlan City is no different from courting death, so the third prince must be thinking of attacking later and need to find the right time to make an attack."
"Then here's the question. This real war is very different from the war games we usually play. You can't just pull out a hundred thousand troops to attack a city! In addition to the commonplace issue of food and grass, the ancient army's
Mobilization and assembly are also time-consuming. For example, in the area controlled by the Third Prince, there are three regular armies, and every big city like Boyang City also has its own standing army, plus those
The militiamen who can be recruited will not be able to assemble these troops and formally march forward within a month or so; then there is another very classic question, that is, how high is the public support for this war?"
"After all, in addition to the direct participation of soldiers, wars also rely on a large number of civilians to maintain logistics and transportation. At the same time, the people in the rear also have to provide supplies of food and weapons and equipment. Therefore, as time goes by, the people's war weariness will become more and more
If it gets higher and higher, it may collapse if you are not careful; therefore, if you cannot lay a solid foundation at the beginning, the increase in war exhaustion will be almost the same as riding a rocket, so the third prince who has heard the news should have already thought about it.
I don’t know what to do after I get killed, so now I’m sending people to spread the news in my own territory that the new Dragon Emperor is about to die.”
"Of course, the focus here is still on how to guide the direction of public opinion! That is, after letting everyone know that the new Dragon Emperor is about to die, we must guide everyone to change their allegiance from the new Dragon Emperor to the third prince. It is best to do that
In this way, after something happens, the third prince only needs to stand up and shout to get the support of his subordinates; so if I were the third prince or his staff, now
You have to find a way to use the suspension bridge effect to gain public support! Because this is the simplest and most effective way!”
After listening to Ding Kun's words, Liu Xing frowned, but in the end he couldn't help but nodded and agreed with Ding Kun's idea, because now the third prince can only do this... there is not enough time.
As long as he puts himself in the perspective of the third prince, Liu Xing will find that he is in a very embarrassing situation at this time, because facing the gossip about the new Dragon Emperor, he can only prepare for the worst.
That is to say, the new Dragon Emperor may have passed away, but for some reasons he has not announced his death secretly for the time being; and the most unfavorable reason for him here is naturally that a certain prince has taken control of the palace, so he plans to announce the news after he is ready.
At the same time, he directly claimed that he was the designated successor of the new Dragon Emperor, and then ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor at the same time!
If this is the case, then you must make various preparations from now on. First of all, you must summon all kinds of troops. Of course, this cannot be done too blatantly, because if the news is wrong, then
Don't you just want to rebel by doing this? So at most, the three regular armies can be arranged to gather somewhere for reasons such as exercises. As for the garrison and militiamen in various cities, they can only organize them first and wait until things happen.
After dispatch, they will be transferred to the designated location.
And whether it is logistical support or manpower supplementation, it all involves the issue of one's popular support. Therefore, if you want to ensure that most people in your territory support you in a short period of time, the best way is of course to use the suspension bridge effect.
The suspension bridge effect, simply put, is that when you walk on a suspension bridge that looks very dangerous, you will inevitably become emotionally nervous and your heartbeat will speed up. Then at this time, if someone appears in your field of vision, you are likely to
You will attribute some of your reactions at this time to this person, thus developing some inexplicable affection for this person. Especially when this person is willing to accompany you across the bridge, your favorability towards this person will quickly increase.
promote!
Therefore, if this person makes some requests to you after crossing the bridge, as long as it is not too excessive, you will most likely choose to agree... So if you want to confess to your sweetheart, then the method with the highest success rate is
Just go to the amusement park with him/her to play more exciting rides such as roller coasters, and be more reliable in the process. Then when the ride is over, your success rate in confessing will be much higher!
In fact, the process of a hero rescuing a beauty and committing himself to her is the ultimate version of the suspension bridge effect. Even if the gap between the two parties is very large, the hero can still win the beauty back.
So at this time, the third prince wants to spread the news and let the ordinary people under his rule reach a consensus - if the world is in chaos, he can only survive, or even live better, only with the protection of the third prince.
.
If this is the case, the third prince is my hero!
"I thought that in a few days, such gossip would spread to Heshan County and everyone would know about it! At that time, the third prince would only need to send a team of people to spread the rumor, saying that several other nearby princes were right.
The emperor is eyeing the throne, and has organized troops to prepare for rebellion, and is preparing to plunder the third prince's territory in the first battle; in short, it is to make the current situation tense, and there are still packs of wolves around. If the third prince cannot withstand it, he will
Your family will be broken up and your wife and children will be separated, so you can only do your best to support the third prince!"
Liu Xing said in a low voice: "And if the third prince is more ruthless, he will pour some dirty water on himself and hype up the rumors that he may not be the son of the new Dragon Emperor!"
"Ah, Liu Xing, your operation is a bit too cruel! This is a very sharp double-edged sword. If it is pointed at the enemy, it will be invincible. If it is pointed at yourself, it may be fatal."
Yin En frowned and said: "But if you think about it carefully, it is really possible that the third prince will do this, because although this is a double-edged sword, the person holding this sword is still himself! If other princes are allowed to take action first
If so, then this double-edged sword will be in the hands of others, and you will have to perform a show of grabbing the blade with bare hands; after all, if you don't splash this basin of dirty water yourself, then someone will definitely splash it on you.
Even more ingredients will be added.”
The "dirty water" in Liu Xing and Yin En's mouth naturally refers to the problem of the third prince's life experience, because from the day the third prince met the new Dragon Emperor, there were endless rumors questioning that the third prince was not a dragon son, and
There are no various versions, and the so-called evidence is endless.
And in these years, the third prince has never explained his life experience, because it is like a rocket joke told by a crosstalk actor.
"If I tell a rocket expert that your rocket should be powered by coal, and it must be clean coal, then every time he glances at me, he has lost."
The same is true for the third prince. No matter whether he responds to the question of his life experience in public or privately, even if the third prince provides conclusive evidence, more people will still think that the third prince is not the son of the new Dragon Emperor.
!
Why? Because he is anxious!
But the situation is different now. If the third prince makes a fuss about this matter, it is possible for most of his subordinates to support him 100%!
The reason is very simple. The third prince only needs to send someone to add this to the gossip - the other princes do not recognize the third prince as their brother, let alone the son of the new Dragon Emperor, so it is only natural for them to send troops to attack the third prince! No
No need to bear any burden!
The most important thing is that the people under the third prince have abandoned the light and turned to the dark side to work with the tiger, so no matter what you do to them, it is right!
"This move is indeed a bit cruel."
Ding Kun, who wanted to understand, sighed and said: "This is forcing everyone under him to stand against the other princes, and even have to fight to the death, you and me! But if the third prince gets away with it,
, then it is possible to become the first force to be eliminated in the martial arts module, because he has forced all people's hearts to oppose him."
As soon as Ding Kun finished speaking, Liu Xing heard a burst of bells coming from Boyang Ruins, and the people around him who were drinking tea leisurely changed their expressions, put down their tea bowls and money, and ran into Boyang Ruins! As for
Those people next door who are eating noodles,
He finished a bowl of noodles in just a few mouthfuls, then put down his money and entered Boyang Market.
What makes Liu Xing interesting is that even though these people were in a hurry to leave, they did not forget to pay all the money they were due, and not even one person took the opportunity to place an order.
It can be seen that the rules of Boyang Xu are quite strict, and no one dares to break them at will.
At this time, when the waiter who was collecting the tea bowl saw that Liu Xing and the others were not leaving, he smiled and said: "It must be the first time for the three guests to come to our Boyang Xu, right? So I don't know what the sound of the bells means yet."
?”
Liu Xing nodded quickly and said: "Yes, it is indeed our first time to come to Boyang Xu, so I would like to ask my brother to introduce to us what the meaning of this bell is?"
"This bell means one thing, and that is that there are good things ready for sale!"
