Chapter 235 A complete mess
"Song Zhimian, when we were discussing this matter with Wei Yanli, were you eavesdropping under my bed?" Xiao Huaijin asked subconsciously.
Song Zhimian...
I'm hiding under your bed?! Am I out of my mind?! I don't know if I drank too much with General Huangfu last night, but I actually said something so outrageous.
"Your Highness, may I take that as a compliment to my intelligence, that I can think of anything you might think of?" Song Zhimian asked with a smile.
Xiao Huaijin...
“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean! Come, strategist Song, let’s take another look at what else we should plan besides the Bai family’s move.” Xiao Huaijin pointed to the map of the Biao Kingdom.
Song Zhimian moved forward a little.
After carefully examining the map of the Biao Kingdom, Song Zhimian knew exactly what to do after a short while.
Thinking back to the information about the Biao Kingdom that Ye Yunshu had prepared on the way to the southwest, Song Zhimian quickly came up with a general idea.
"Actually... this is just a matter of market share!"
We want to capture the Chinese market, but we don't want to make too much investment.
The best solution would be to have different agents in the local area.
China has many ethnic groups. As long as we support different forces and balance the relationships between them, we can firmly grasp this market.
Those forces all rose to power with the help of Da Yu, which makes them inseparable from Da Yu.
In that case, the Bai family alone is not enough...
"And here and here!" Song Zhimian tapped twice on the map.
Xiao Huaijin looked at Song Zhimin standing beside him with some surprise.
"These two places..."
"This is the fiefdom of King Yu of the Biao Kingdom."
Yu the Great's ancestors had once been emperors of the Biao Kingdom, but were later overthrown by Wei Sanqian.
Wei Sanqian did not exterminate this branch of the royal family, but instead exiled them to the Rakhine Mountains.
Although he was exiled, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, and King Yu continued to claim himself as the legitimate heir of the royal family.
The emperor of the Biao Kingdom who succeeded Wei Sanqian was only from a collateral branch.
The royal family of Biao Kingdom is currently doing nothing, only plunging the people into misery. King Yu must have something to say about this.
He could easily have started a rebellion under the banner of legitimacy.
And this one too...
This is the ancestral home of the Prime Minister of Biao Kingdom. Just a few days ago, at the birthday banquet of the old emperor of Biao Kingdom, not only was the second prince killed, but the Prime Minister of Biao Kingdom was also killed by the eldest prince.
The Prime Minister of Biao Kingdom had many disciples and students, and in his ancestral home, the people supported him even more than the royal family of Biao Kingdom.
The second prince was once the most prized student of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Biao.
Here, one could also use the pretext of avenging the Prime Minister and the Second Prince to launch a rebellion.
Of course, most of them are all talk and no action; they don't actually have any soldiers.
If we want them to succeed, we need to send not only troops but also some strategists.
Once these three places are established, the country will descend into chaos.
The current royal family of Biao Kingdom will be besieged on all sides and exhausted from fighting.
As for wanting to lead a large army to fight in Da Yu... dream on! Song Zhimian chuckled.
Xiao Huaijin listened to Song Zhimian's words without saying a word for a long time.
He, along with Ninth Uncle and Wei Yanli, instigated the Bai family of Biao Kingdom to rebel, and secretly sent people to support the Bai family.
But they hadn't really thought about the ancestral homes of King Yu and the Prime Minister of Biao.
Their plan was to first revive the Bai family, giving those with ulterior motives in the Biao Kingdom a glimmer of hope.
They wanted to proceed gradually...
But Song Zhimian's idea was to surround it from three sides and tear the Biao Kingdom apart in one fell swoop.
That's ruthless enough; this one move alone is enough to seize control of the lifeline of the Biao Kingdom.
Xiao Huaijin looked at Song Zhimian, who was still intently studying the map of the Biao Kingdom.
This girl is too good to be a female official; she should be standing in the imperial court dealing with all those civil and military officials.
"Then what about using troops? How do we smuggle the soldiers of Dayu over there?" Xiao Huaijin suddenly asked.
"Why smuggle? Isn't it better to transport it openly and honestly?"
However, those who support the Bai family are supposed to be transported there secretly. You should be using this mountain range!
Those people are helping the Bai family to establish a foothold and avoid being defeated by the army of the Biao Kingdom's royal family.
At this point, the other forces in the Biao Kingdom will understand why the Bai family, which was originally so vulnerable, was able to contend with the army of the Biao Kingdom. It must be because they had the support of the Great Yu Kingdom.
They will try to contact Dayu and seek its support.
Furthermore, in order to gain the support of Dayu, they would promise Dayu what they would give it after a great victory.
You absolutely have to agree!
King Yu was on this side, which happened to be adjacent to the territory of the Bai family, so he used the Bai family's route to transport troops.
This also serves as a message to the Bai family: Da Yu can support them, or it can support other forces; they'd better not have any ulterior motives.
Those powerful forces in the Biao Kingdom must be thinking, "Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox."
No matter how small the territory, you are still in charge and don't have to be exploited by the royal family of the fat kingdom.
In this way, it would take anywhere from three to five years for the country to break apart, splitting from a large nation into several smaller ones.
"There will be friction and conflict between those small countries, and the Biao Kingdom will cease to exist!" Song Zhimian said to herself.
"Then... what about Ruan Xingzhi? How do you plan to deal with him?" Xiao Huaijin suddenly asked.
Song Zhimian was stunned for a moment; she had almost forgotten about Ruan Xingzhi.
Lord Ye Yunshu instructed me to kill Ruan Xingzhi after I arrived in the Southwest.
"Him? That makes things much easier!"
Your Highness, think about it, isn't it his fault that the Kingdom of Biao is in such chaos? If so, then let the people of Biao kill him.
As for how to kill them? I need to think of a way that won't get our hands dirty!
Xiao Huaijin didn't speak, he just looked at Song Zhimian.
...
After finishing her conversation with Xiao Huaijin, Song Zhimian drank a cup of tea and left.
She was only responsible for coming up with ideas; what to do next was not her concern. As it involved the dispatch of the Southwest Army of Da Yu, it was better to let Xiao Huaijin and General Huangfu discuss these matters.
After Song Zhimian left, Xiao Huaijin stood in front of the map of Biao Kingdom, lost in thought.
When Song Zhimian first arrived in the Southwest, she had already discussed this idea with him.
At the time, he thought that doing so would be quite difficult and would take a long time.
It might drag on for ten or six months!
But in less than a few months, it seems that the country has already taken that step, and it's spiraled out of control...
After thinking for a while, Xiao Huaijin got up and walked towards General Huangfu's courtyard.
There are some things I need to discuss with General Huangfu, and I also need to send a letter to Wei Yanli.
There are people who advocate propriety everywhere in the country. Isn't it exactly what they should be doing at this time, adding fuel to the fire?
...
Ten days later, the old emperor of the Biao Kingdom was stunned by several pieces of news that were presented to him.
