I have to say that Lu Xu still admires King Youxian.
After Prince Wulu asked him for help, he actually only did two things. One was to lend Prince Wulu four thousand troops, and the other was to change the battle plan and decide to raid Xin'an Village.
But he did these two things very well in detail. As a result, he seemed to have done nothing, but he firmly controlled Prince Wulu and Lu Xu.
This is the first time in his two lives that Lu Xu has seen such an old fox.
If Lu Xu hadn't reacted in time, he might have figured out King Youxian's intentions just like Prince Wulu.
After analyzing King Youxian's actions, Lu Xu smiled and said to Suler: "Are you curious? What is my intention in telling you this?"
"I'm not curious!" There was a hint of panic in Suler's tone: "I'm not curious at all!"
He was trying hard not to let Lu Xu guide his thinking. But after Lu Xu said this, he couldn't help but want to know why Lu Xu said this to him?
Lu Xu smiled and patted Suler on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous! I have no intention of getting any information from you this time."
Of course Suler didn't believe a word he said. He looked at Lu Xu with a vigilant expression. Lu Xu didn't take it seriously either. He said sincerely: "I am a reasonable person!"
"You have provided me with so much useful information. I am too embarrassed to take that information for nothing, right? But you are my enemy after all. I cannot exchange my own information with you, nor can I give you any benefits.
"
"After much thought, I decided to inform you of Beiting's own information. This can also show the sincerity of our cooperation."
Hearing what Lu Xu said, Suler breathed a sigh of relief. He was a talent after all, and he generally judged that even Lu Xu couldn't use these words to get any information from him.
Sudden!
Suler woke up suddenly! He shouted loudly: "Who is your collaborator?"
Suler felt that he had to make it clear that he was definitely not Lu Xu's collaborator!
He didn't notice that he just denied that he was not Lu Xu's collaborator. He didn't say a word about leaking information.
Listening to his words, Lu Xu naturally heard that in Suler's heart, leaking information might not be such a serious matter anymore. He smiled slightly and then patted Suler on the shoulder and said: "Don't pay attention to those details, you know
That’s it!”
"I understand you!" Suler really wanted to say something back to Lu Xu like this. But he didn't dare!
Although Lu Xu's words just now were not meant to obtain any information, they also revealed an important piece of information to him. That is, King Youxian has most likely begun to think about changing the sect.
If King Youxian is supported by someone else, Prince Wulu's momentum and strength will be greatly reduced. If Suler's family does not take advantage of this season to take action first, it will be too late by the time they take action again.
Apart from anything else, before King Youxian expresses his stance, no matter which prince Surel's family surrenders to, they will be treated as guests. Because this is like providing help in a timely manner, but once King Youxian clearly expresses his stance, how can they take sides again?
It's called the icing on the cake.
Which treatment is better, a help in times of need or the icing on the cake? Needless to say, does this need to be said?
Therefore, Suler's sense of urgency was even greater now. He began to think about how to quickly escape from Lu Xu's control.
"Do you really want to exchange information with Lu Xu?"
Suler couldn't help but think!
Sudden!
Suler once again realized something was wrong. He quickly shook his head and tried to drive this terrible thought out of his mind.
When he raised his head to look at Lu Xu again, he couldn't help but broke into a cold sweat: "No way? Is this his purpose?"
However, Lu Xu just continued to look at Suler with a smile.
Suler's thought was correct. This was indeed Lu Xu's purpose. However, what would happen even if Suler saw through it?
In the final analysis, Lu Xu was taking advantage of the characteristics of a slave-tribal alliance country like the Beiting Khanate.
Only a unified country can give its citizens a sense of national identity.
If you want to make all the nobles of a country have a sense of national identity, it is only possible in a centralized country!
The evidence is that before the era of the Industrial Revolution, the aristocrats of Western feudal countries had no sense of identity with their country and monarch.
Any of their nobles may betray their monarch. There were so many "countries" that appeared in Western history, and during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the French nobles who helped the British fight against the French all followed Lu Xu's philosophy.
Best footnote.
Some people may think that the Central Plains dynasty has gone through so many changes in history. And so many nobles have been born. They are all feudal dynasties. Why are the nobles of the Central Plains dynasty so loyal to their country?
First of all, the nobles of the Central Plains Dynasty may not be really loyal to their motherland. For example, the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty is directly related to the nobles and "students" who sucked the blood of the dynasty.
Secondly, we have to admit that the aristocrats of the Central Plains Dynasty were indeed far more loyal to the country than the aristocrats of the West. So the question is, was the Central Plains Dynasty really a feudal dynasty?
They may have "confederated", and they did enfeoff many nobles. But did they "build"? Do those nobles have control over their own fiefs?
Perhaps, the so-called feudal dynasty has been permanently eliminated by the one emperor through the ages, right?
Therefore, in Lu Xu's view, Suler cannot be very loyal to the Beiting Khanate. His most loyal person can only be his own family. Once he is put between the interests of the Beiting Khanate and the interests of their family,
If you have to choose one of the two...
Lu Xu believed that it was impossible for Suler to choose the Beiting Khanate, and he had no reason to choose the Beiting Khanate.
But Lu Xu is not in a hurry. He believes that he will figure it out if he gives Suler some time. And he has no reason to be anxious, right? It is Suler and Prince Wulu who should be anxious!
After planting a seed of rebellion in Suler's heart, Lu Xu went about his work.
In fact, Lu Xu doesn't have anything big going on right now. His information network extends in all directions, and as long as he's not surrounded by King Youxian's army, there's nothing worth worrying about.
The only thing worth keeping him busy is the resettlement of refugees.
The good news is that most of the thousands of refugees in his hands are young and strong.
But it seems reasonable to think about it, because most of these people have experienced the pursuit of Prince Wulu. The old, weak, sick and disabled have long died on the way to escape. Of course, those who survive are those with the best physical fitness among the refugees.
Wave people!
In this case, Lu Xu certainly has no reason not to arm them!
